Chapter 862 Execution
Harry''s POV:
Soon it was the execution day. As soon as dawn arrived, I waited for Joanna downstairs at her
dormitory.
Five minutester, she emerged from the building wearing a ck coat and a ck cap.
My heart was heavy. Joanna and I had prepared for this day. We were both set to take Sylvia away
from her execution.
Sylvia''s impending execution had already spread in the entire capital city. And it seemed they really
wanted her to die. Otherwise, they wouldn''t be so indifferent to public opinion.
Fortunately, there was no news about Flora. It was likely that she had not heard about it yet. If she
did, she would have marched here despite her delicate pregnancy.
"Let''s go." I took Joanna''s backpack and carried it on my back. Then we went to the execution
ground together.
The execution ground was in a colosseum at the heart of the capital city. It was a public holiday
today, and because the person to be executed was the fiancee of Prince Rufus, the road was very
crowded. Numerous cars were rushing to the city center, eager to witness the traitor put to death.
Joanna and I drove to the heart of the capital city. We didn''t leave the car and walk until we arrived
at the colosseum.
When we got there, the people present were discussing heatedly, especially those who followed
behind Joanna and me. They didn''t stop talking all the way.
"Isn''t Prince Rufus unconscious? I heard that it was that bitch Sylvia who did it."
"No way! Prince Rufus loves her so much. How could Sylvia do that?"
"Who knows? I knew she was trouble. She seduced Prince Rufus with an evil intention."
"More than that, she has risen rapidly through the ranks of the army. I bet she used some dirty
tactics to get promoted."
"Maybe she slept with Prince Rufus to advance in the ranks. Ha-ha-ha..."
I just couldn''t take it any longer after hearing this. I clenched my fist and was about to rush up to the
gossipy she-wolves, but Joanna stopped me just in time.
"Ignore them and don''t make a scene. Remember, we need to carry out our n smoothly."
I gritted my teeth, trying my best to restrain my anger as the blue veins bulged on my hands.
Joanna held my arm tightly and dragged me to the execution ground.
When we got there, it was already packed with spectators. Laura was sitting at the main seat while
the royal elders were standing next to her. Rufus and Ethan were nowhere in sight. They reportedly
sustained life-threatening injuries and were still unconscious.
After a while, the prison car was pushed over, and the door was opened. Sylvia was shoved by a
soldier.
Her face was pale, and she wore a prison uniform with a bulging belly.
The soldier behind her was evidently impatient as he kept pushing her aggressively.
Sylvia staggered two steps forward, with the tter of the shackles on her body resounding. She
hurriedly protected her belly, appearing to be in difort as she did so.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
The more I watched, the more I felt like my heart was being used as a punching bag. My eyes
turned red at the sight of this. "If Prince Rufus was here, he wouldn''t have let Sylvia suffer like this."
Joanna''s face darkened. She clenched her fists and said, "What are they doing? Sylvia is pregnant
with Prince Rufus'' child."
Sylvia seemed to have sensed something. She turned her head in our way and caught sight of us.
I wanted to call her, but she shook her head and stopped me. I knew she didn''t want to get us into
trouble, but I still couldn''t hold back, so I called out to her.
But the jeers of the crowd quickly drowned my voice. When the onlookers saw Sylvia being taken
out, they cursed at her, with some even spitting in her direction.
