Adira sat quietly in her room, with a sigh she thought of what things would of been like if she had never

found Duncan. She doubted that she would be still alive or wishing she was dead anyway.

Still who would of thought that the road would lead here, it was a dark and gloomy day outside. Perfect

for how she was feeling about the upcoming event of the day. It wasn’t going to be pleasant and she

didn’t relish the part she has to play.

The Prince did make his own bed, now he will have to sleep forever in it. The saddest thing was all the Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

victims he will be leaving in his wake. The poor King to have to be facing this not only as The King but

a father as well.

The Prince was awakend by a servant, she was a cute little thing dressed all in black. She put the tray

down at the table infront of him, he slapped her butt as she tried to get out of the way. He giggled at her

” You’re gonna have to

12:56 PM2.6Kese get faster then that if you want to get away from

1. me.

She said nothing and opened the door so the Kings personal butler could come in, he was carrying

garments for the prince. He said not one word as he attended his bath and helped getting him ready,

making sure that the prince was properly dressed into his formal black uniform. When he was done

the butler walked out without showing any respect, not a nod or a

bow.

Adam swore under his breath, that stuffy old codger, he will be the first to go when I am king. That old

fool had seen too many of Adam’s sins, always looking down his nose at him. Always trying to warn his

father about what he liked to do. Father would brush it aside though.

Prince Adam looked outside, it was a dark and cold, dismal late fall day. The rain was removing the last

of the fall leaves. It was positively gloomy, perfect weather for him to bend the knee to repent his sins.

They were all such dull and useless fools, his father the King of the fools. When you all least expect it, I

will kill you all in your sleep.

The Prince looked at the garments but didn’t give them much more thought. The somber look will only

help in his defense, if they think he

12:56 PMI 1.4KB/s has learned his lesson then all the better. He would be the picture of the most

perfectly pious of prince’s. He did notice that none of his royal decorations were on his uniform.

Probally part of his punishment, to try to humiliate him.

After the Prince was washed and dressed he was left alone for about half an hour. Then two guards

dressed in their finest escorted him out of the room, the prince walked in his most high and mighty

walk.

Head held high in the air, he had perfected the walk and was proud of himself. He did wonder why the

halls were so empty? Asking one of his guards, they told him that the king thought it was best to close

down the court and send everyone home during this time.

He thought that that was clever of his father, that way there would be no witnesses to this farce of a

trial. They will think he got his just punishment and that is that.

When the two guards stopped in front of the black and silver double doors of the High Council, Prince

Adam was taken a back a little, why are they taking him here instead of the royal throne room.

When they opened the doors, the room was filled with all of the High Council, something

12:56 PM 1.3KB/S the prince has never seen, except in books about war. The guards took him to the

circle in the center of the room where he was supposed to stand

He looked around but his father The King was not in the room. His chair stood empty. He looked all

around but to his horror the only other person on the floor standing was the executioner, Adam couldn’t

see his face it was covered by a heavy cowl. Under the cowl he wore a long black robe.

“Prince Adam …………

Adam was bored hearing his name and all his titles, blah blah blah blah…..He rolled his eyes in

annoyance. It wasn’t until the end that he wasn’t sure he heard what the Head Council said…there was

no way he heard that right.

………...….you stand before us accused of treason, misappropriation of money from the peoples

treasury, for use in a variety of criminal acts, murder of several young men and boys, conspiracy to

commit murder of the King, sexual acts with minors and unlawful selling of forbidden drugs.

“Prince Adam how do you plead?”

The prince just stood there speechless, he

12:56 PM10.0KB/s looked again for his father, nothing but an empty chair.

“High Council, I request a represenitive to stand with me. As is my right.”

“Very well, we searched and searched, however no one wanted the job, until one person asked for it.”

The Council Member waved his hand, as the double doors opened once again, standing on the other

side was none other than Lady Adira, “the little bitch that caused all this to happen to him. He wanted to

beat her senseless and rip out her heart. How dare this little nobody, come to his defense like this.”

She walked up to him, stopping just outside of his marked circle on the floor. Standing before the High

Council.

“All I ask of you members of the High Council, is that you do not make the Prince’s execution a public

spectacle, not for the Princes sake but for the King’s.”

After saying those words she turned and left, not looking back. Her head held high as she walked back

out like a queen.

The Prince stood there in his circle enraged, he

12:56 PM 10H tried to go after Lady Arlira, Calling her all kinds of filthy names, the guards restrained

him and held him in place, facing the Council once again. As if remembering he had to be perfect, he

stopped resisting the guards and stood up tall, looking at the council members as if they were beneath

him.

“It is the ruling of the High Council Court that you will be taken from this room and executed in the

private garden of the King. There will be three appointed witnesses to your execution. These witnesses

have been ordered to not speak of this after this day.”

“As is also law, if the pup commits a crime, the father or mother must also pay for their failure to not

teach the pup the right way. Therefore the King’s punishment has already been decided and will

commence at the time of your death.”

“You will be buried where your head falls, with no marker. Also your name will be removed from all

documents, census records and history books. Nothing of yours will be left, all will be burned.

“Your personal bank account and any money that was allocated to you by your mother, will now go to

help the victims you left behind and give restitution to the families of those you

12:57 PM 3,6KB/s 0 murdered.

There will be a royal decree throughout the pack lands that your name is never to be spoken again, nor

used to name any children born after your death.”

“This judgement is made upon this day in the year of the goddess 2021. May she show you mercy, as

you go to her realm.”

“Guards take the condemned to the executioner.”

“Adam was in a absolute terror and shock, his father was supposed to get him out of this. Where is he?

NO, NO, NO, THIS IS NOT HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO GO, YOU ARE TO LET ME GO THIS

INSTANT.!!”

“Adam was screaming like a mad man as they dragged him out of the hall, calling everyone, every bad

name he could think of. You will all pay for this, how dare you treat me like this, I am your Crown

Prince, unhand me this instant.!!!!” 2

His screams became wimpers, till finally he lost his voice entirely. He had pissed himself in fear, the

servants had lined the hall as one at a time they turned there backs to him in silence, while the guards

dragged the Prince to his death.

They placed his head on the chopping black and held him down as the executioner raised his sword, it

gleemed dully in the grimness of the day. For a moment it shook just a little as it was held high and

then in one final swoosh the blade swung down, taking the life of the Prince. His head rolled down

along the wall under a small oak tree.

The three witnesses Duncan, Jack and Adira stood silently, heads bowed in the gloom of the falling

rain, the council members stood in front of the executioner. There were servants already digging a hole

for the grave in the muddy cold ground.

Your Highness, our King you have completed your punishment. You are free from any guilt now. The

three witnesses gasp in unison as the executioner took off his cowl and there in the falling cold rain

stood the King. His eyes were empty, his wolf was there as well, giving his friend strength. (2)

He threw the sword into the distance as he fell to his knees, he let out a deafening painful howl. The

Council members hung their heads in sorrow. Duncan, Jack and Adria kneeled down beside him, As

their King and friend deeply grieved in the cold falling rain.
