Chapter 757 Paraded
After the punishment was decided, the fourth prince didn't waste any time.
With a snap of his fingers, there were several more royal guards that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The nobles were naturally surprised by the appearance of these royal guards, but they weren't afraid of them. Rather, the ones that had spoken up the most against me were all looking at me with looks of schadenfreude on their faces.
The royal guards quickly surrounded me and made sure that I wasn't able to do anything.
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Just like this, I was led out of the throne room and made to walk out of the castle where there was a carriage that was waiting for me.
Seeing this, I had a grim look on my face.
This wasn't the normal kind of carriage that a noble would take, but rather this was a carriage that was clearly for transporting something. The carriage was nothing more than a cart that even had bars all around it that seemed like it was keeping something in.Your favorite novels at novelhall.com
This was clearly a cart for transporting prisoners.
The royal guards used their spears to 'guide' me into the prisoner cart.
Though it was more like they were forcing me into the cart rather than guiding me.
Once I was in, the fourth prince personally sat down in the driver's seat of this cart and grabbed the reins to the horses. With a flick of his wrist, the cart started moving forward.
The nobles that had followed after us were shocked to see this, but the ones that didn't like me had even stronger looks of schadenfreude on their faces. It was as if they wished that they could be driving the cart themselves with the expression that was on their faces.
But the fourth prince didn't let anyone approach as he had the royal guards surround the cart.
It was a parade.
"Shh...do you not want to keep your heads anymore? Do you know what talking about this kind of stuff will bring?"
"But your wife and children were also saved by the duke..."
The nobles immediately cracked down on the ones that said the things near the end.
It seemed like they were threatened by these people and were afraid that the fourth prince would react to these words, but the fourth prince was solely focused on driving the cart. It didn't seem like the fourth prince was reacting at all to what was happening around him.
However, I couldn't help knitting my brows a bit because of this.
Because of the actions of the nobles, there were small clashes that started breaking out between the guards and the commoners.
The commotion that this caused continued to increase the noise around us until it completely drowned out everything.
Unless someone was right up beside us, they wouldn't have heard what we said...
So I took this chance to ask the fourth prince, "Was all of this really necessary?"
The fourth prince's expression didn't change at all as he still had that serious look on his face. But even with that serious look, he said in a playful voice, "If we don't put on a show, they won't believe that it's real. This is necessary for what is about to happen. If we don't do this, they'll never actually believe that this is real."
I still slightly knitted my brows as I said, "But the people..."
The fourth prince's voice became a bit darker as he said, "Don't worry, I'm noting down everything. They will receive their just desserts when the time comes, they won't be able to get out of it."
I just gave a sigh before sitting back in the cage and watching all of this happen.
I would enjoy it when these nobles received the punishment that they deserved.
