Chapter 151 – Heinrich’s End (2) *Illustration of Sentress Avenging Her Younger Sister*
Heinrich’s End (2)
At Juno’s sentence, the Count of Redburg blinked and looked through the law book he had brought with him.
“Huh? Human-pig punishment and tomb punishment? I’ve never heard of such punishments… Is this the punishment written in the Imperial Code?”
“No. As the Minister knows, the best methods of execution listed in the Imperial Code are hanging and burning.”
“Yes. I know that well, but…”
“Although burning by fire has enough effect to show the citizens, the pain is only momentary, so it is not suitable for them. Burning at the stake lasts quite a long time, but the smoke prevents citizens from seeing them properly. If they do it wrong, they will suffocate from the smoke and die. So I can’t give you pain for long.”
“Then what are the human-pig type and the tomb type that you mentioned?”
The Count of Redburg only looked at Juno’s mouth as if he was curious, and the citizens watching the trial also focused all their attention on the court as if they were interested.
And the punishment that came out of Yuno’s mouth shocked them all.
“The human pig punishment is a method of execution written in an ancient book I read. It was a punishment given by the Empress to a traitor who challenged her power. First, the criminal’s eyes are gouged out, molten sulfur is poured into the ears, and the eardrums are destroyed. After cutting off the tongue, they cut off the wrists and below the knees and put them in a pig pen, and then feed them lots of milk mixed with honey to make them vomit and have diarrhea. They feel the pain of being eaten by insects attracted by the sweet smell, and feel like pigs. The method of execution is to die on human excrement.”
“Then the neungji type is…”
“After tying a criminal to a pole, the flesh is torn off alive. It is sliced as thinly as possible with a razor-thin blade. After cutting off the flesh, a potion is applied to heal it, and then the flesh is cut off again, very slowly cutting off all the limbs. After that, they cut the abdomen and dig out the internal organs, so you can feel the greatest pain before you die.”
The Count of Redburg shook his head as if he was horrified by Juno’s explanation.
“Well, such a punishment is difficult to carry out! You are trying to carry out a punishment that is not even in the law. Such needlessly cruel punishment is a punishment that should not exist in the reign…”
The Count of Redburg’s speech was interrupted by Juno.
“Then!! To satisfy his own desires, he drove the people of the empire into chaos! He sold the country’s territory!! He cruelly tormented children and tortured them to death!!! How can you just kill those evil bastards once and for all? No, you can’t do that!! You can’t do that while the victim is crying like that, can’t you, Adria citizens? ?”
When Juno turned and asked the citizens of Adria, Jennifer, with just the right timing, once again projected the images of the children Heinrich had tortured and killed in the secret room onto Juno’s head.
Moreover, with perfect timing, the bodies of children began to be recovered one by one from the second villa, and the anger of the citizens was once again ignited.
Citizens who were looking at the bodies of children on stretchers behind the court began to stand up one by one to answer Yuno’s questions.
“What the Third Prince said is 100% correct!!”
“Guys like that should taste the most painful death in the world!!”
“Isn’t there a more painful way to kill them? Those children would have died much more painfully!!”
“Ahh… My daughter is dead… Alone in that dark palace… She died looking for her father and mother!!! Please avenge my daughter! Your Royal Highness!!”
“Heukheuk. My husband, who worked at the imperial palace, was murdered by that bastard. He left behind my youngest child, who was just 3 years old… If you want to die in peace, please save my husband, who died unjustly!! You bastards!!”
When the citizens rose up and demanded that Juno’s punishment be carried out, the Count of Redburg was embarrassed and sweat broke out on his forehead.
‘The number of citizens who support His Highness the Third Prince’s opinion continues to increase… If I continue to argue against it here, I might be beaten to death by the citizens.’
In any case, the Count of Redburg himself only tried to follow the law, but he also had ill feelings toward Heinrich and Dietrich, so he eventually raised the gavel.
“Quiet! Be quiet! Then I will judge! This presiding judge, Redburg, acknowledged all the charges against the defendant and decided on the sentence by referring to the opinions of the citizens gathered here as a jury. Order! Apply special law to the criminals Heinrich and Dietrich. For this one case only, I sentence you to human pig punishment and tomb punishment!”
Earth! Earth! Land!
The gavel was struck and the punishment of Heinrich and Dietrich was decided.
“Uuuuu!”
“Uuuuu!! Uuuuupuuuuup!!!”
The two were struggling and seemed to be trying to say something, but their words were blocked by the gag.
Looking at the two, Count Redburg opened his mouth once again.
“But there is a problem. Since it is a cruel punishment unprecedented in the history of the empire… There are concerns that the spirit of the person who carries out it will be damaged…”
Yuno tried to answer his question, but the answer came unexpectedly from the witness stand.
“No! It doesn’t matter at all!! I will take revenge on my parents and Centuria for losing her eyesight! I will take care of it myself!!”
The person who made the remark was Centris, who was comforting Centoria by hugging her at the witness stand.
He pulled out the sword from the waist of the soldier next to the witness stand, ran quickly without the soldiers having time to react, and cut out the eyes of Heinrich and Dietrich, whose hands and feet were tied, and then pulled out their eyeballs with his hands.
“Uuuuu!!!”
“Keuuuuugh!!!”
“Don’t be so harsh!! Centoria must have been in a lot more pain!! The other kids who died must have been in a lot more pain too!! You bastards!!”
Then, Sentress began to cut off their ears, and Heinrich and Dietrich continued to moan in pain.
As the Count of Redburgh and Juno looked on in bewilderment at this unprecedented incident where the punishment was being carried out in the courtroom, the soldiers rushed over, took Sentress off, and pinned him to the floor.
“Let go!! I will execute it!!!”
“You bastard!! How dare you take out a sword in the presence of members of the royal family?”
Watching the soldiers subdue the Sentress, Yuno slowly approached him.
“Centris. I know how you feel, but this is a court. It’s a place to decide punishments, not execute them. And taking out a blade without permission in the presence of the royal family is a serious crime. You bastard.”
Sentress pouted her lips at Yuno’s words and soon shed tears.
“I’m sorry, Your Highness, Third Prince. But… I really wanted to avenge my parents’ enemies and my younger brother’s grudge… Hehe.”
Looking at Sentress, Yuno gently stroked his head and squeezed a honey chestnut.
Kkong~
“This guy… He was nice to me earlier, but he’s telling me to tell you again.”
“… Yuno-hyung…”
“Soldiers! Let him go. I gave him the punishment of honey chestnuts, so he will pay for his crime.”
At Yuno’s words, the soldiers released the Sentress’s restraint and retreated, and Yuno hugged the Sentress, whose face was splattered with fresh blood and who had injuries here and there on his hands and arms due to mishandling an unfamiliar knife. I patted him on the back
“Centris. Let’s stop at this point in your revenge. Your heart is still too young to continue. If something goes wrong with you, who will your sister rely on?”
“Sniff… But…”
Yuno opened her mouth once again, comforting Sentress, who still seemed to have not let go of her resentment.
“And there are many people other than you who hold a grudge against the authors. So, shouldn’t we give them a chance too?”
Only then did Sentress see that there were many people in the audience who were shedding tears filled with resentment like herself, and Yuno once again shouted loudly at those people.
“Anyone who has the courage like this child here and wants to punish them directly, please come in front of me!! Those who want to see their end with their own eyes, please come to the side!!”
Then, almost 300 people gathered in front of Yuno, and about 3,000 people who wanted to see gathered.
They were all glaring at Heinrich and Dietrich with evil eyes and radiating anger, so the Count of Redburg sighed and gave the order to take the criminals to the execution site.
“Count of Redburgh. Then, can I regard this as my intention to do as I wish from now on?”
“Yes. Do as you wish, Your Majesty.”
When the judge’s permission was granted, Yuno asked Eliza to take Sentress and Centuria and headed to the execution site with those who volunteered.
“First, I sentence the criminal Dietrich to death by execution! Those who volunteer must use this knife to cut off the criminal’s flesh as thinly as possible, starting from the toes!”
Yuno held out a sharp knife that he had cut himself.
The volunteer citizens took turns cutting off Dietrich’s toes one by one as thinly as possible. As each piece of flesh fell off, Dietrich let out a groan full of pain, and each time the executioners uttered curses and killed Dietrich more brutally.
As Dietrich’s toes fell off one by one, then his fingers, and the flesh of his ankles, wrists, forearms, and shins was cut off little by little, like thin ham, Dietrich fainted from the pain and woke up again and again, in excruciating pain. I had to taste it.
Heinrich, who heard Dietrich’s screams right next to him as he was repeatedly healed with potions and suffering from pain that could not even kill him, began pleading with Juno, even urinating his pants.
“Yes, little brother. I was wrong… Furthermore, I was wrong. Furthermore, I admit that I murdered my father, and I also admit that I killed and committed the crime of children for my own pleasure. Furthermore, I don’t want you to live. Just kill me in peace. Please. Hey!!!”
“I think it’s wrong to ask. Shouldn’t it be to the parents of those children over there, not me?”
At Juno’s cold response, Heinrich forgot his own situation for a moment and burst into anger once again.
“I was the emperor!! Even though I’ve become such a mess now because of traitors!! I was the emperor!! How could I beg those stupid bastards… Ugh!!!”
Heinrich, who was venting his anger, screamed from the pain of the blade cutting off the flesh of his toe.
“Hey, is it okay for a former emperor to scream like this?”
“My daughter threatened to kill me when I was taken away as a civilian soldier if you screamed, so even though my eyeballs were gouged out!! Even though a knife was stabbed in my stomach!! I held back my screams!! But you screamed even though you were only a toe. Are you saying you can’t stand one thing?!”
“If you save my son, you will kill you comfortably.
The resentment of his parents upon learning that their children had died under torture was beyond Yuno’s imagination.
In the end, Heinrich felt the pain of having every piece of flesh on his limbs cut out, and his tongue was cut out. Boiling sulfur water was poured into his ears, turning him into a lump of meat with barely enough air left on. Dietrich’s internal organs were cut out piece by piece, and he died after three days. I lost.
Finally, Heinrich, who was barely able to breathe, was force-fed milk mixed with honey, and numerous insects flew in and began to eat his body.
“Kaaaaahhhhh!! Hoohuhu!!! (Kill me! Kill me!!)?
Heinrich died in pain, having his body eaten alive by insects for two long days, but not a single person sympathized with his final moments.
