Chương 188: The Prisoner Has Escaped

The sun had risen on the day of Cassian's execution, and the palace courtyard was already buzzing with anticipation as residence of the upper East quarters gathered in the large opened courtyard. 

Orson, who was present as well, had a mini conversation with his father concerning what was going on, and his Father, who just came back from a trip yesterday, still found it difficult to believe that the Cassian he knew was getting executed today, all because of some silly made-up rumors the people of Carmarthen have managed to put together into a lie ??

Cassian's mother, who had joined them, remained unusually composed as Inna stood by her side close to a huge pillar in the courtyard. Their worries were still evident on their faces as Elaine pulled her daughter close in an attempt to comfort her, but she didn't say anything as she too was helpless at this point.
