章 282: A New Regime

POV Tanya:

A podium stood in the middle of the sheer spacious square packed with people. Multiple tied men and women kneeled on top of it, their bodies covered in bleeding red bruises. Snot and blood flowed out of their noses, their eyes dull and lifeless.

The young woman with horns and long black hair just stood there, her red dress waving in the slight summer breeze. Her eyes shone as she looked at the crowd gathered at the square underneath her.

She turned back towards the bound men and women with a smile on her face, "In the name of the Vesuvian kingdom, I sentence you to death for crimes against his Majesty!"

Her hand ignited in bright yellow flames, their searing hot temperature causing sweat to run down the temples of the criminals.

"This a new order! An order where incompetence and abandonment of duties of those in power is a capital crime!" The flames around her small pale hand were becoming brighter and brighter, sparks flying in all directions.
