"The criminal Kasalyn Robervon is charged with attempting to assassinate the queen; her crime is grievously severe."
The man pronouncing the verdict was once a lover who had sown his seed in her.
When he whispered sweet nothings about her becoming the queen of this country.
He was the fiancé who discarded her like trash after she miscarried due to a carriage accident and was told she could never conceive again.
"I, Shalen Riche, King of the Khan Kingdom, hereby declare her a national traitor. All her rights are revoked, and she will be executed by the royal decree of burning at the stake."
All she ever wanted was a kind word, a sincere apology, and a bit of trust.
But he eagerly made his sister Rose the new queen, and now, deceived by her shallow tricks, he aims to mercilessly burn her heart.
A heart that's been shattered and scarred by his harsh words and cold treatment, with no healthy part left.
"Sob..."
Rose, now the queen, clinging to his side like a shadow, started to weep, her black eyes rolling softly.
Trembling shoulders and thick tears streaming down – she appeared so pitiful.
Even Kasalyn, who knew all her pretense was just an act, was almost fooled for a moment.
"Throw this witch-like woman into the fiery hell at once!"
Kasalyn calmly watched as people approached her with blazing torches.
Despite facing a fiery death in front of everyone, she felt strangely at peace.
She even found herself smiling.
"Don't cling pathetically."
Just as the flames were about to reach her toes, Kasalyn muttered something meaningful.
Shalen hastily raised a hand.
"Wait. What did you just say?"
"The words you said when you threw me away like a rag. Remember?"
"What?"
Shalen's face, once boyishly handsome, twisted irritably.
Right. He wouldn't remember.
「How could I make you a queen now that you cannot bear children? Don't cling pathetically.」
Logically, his actions were not wrong for a sovereign.
But as a man who once vowed eternal love to a woman, it was unforgivable.
「I swear on my heart, Kasalyn. Even if I have to forsake the throne, my love for you will never wane.」
If only he hadn't made such false promises back then.
If only he hadn't persistently taken her to secluded spots for sweet moments.
If only he hadn't chosen her discarded fiancé's sister as the new queen, this catastrophe might have been averted.
"But now, maybe you will be the one clinging pathetically to me. In fact, I'm sure of it."
Kasalyn declared with a dizzyingly beautiful smile, facing the people who had gathered in the execution square.
Once a prospective perfect queen, now seen as a wicked woman who tried to assassinate her own sister-in-law out of jealousy.
As she faced death under the king's sentence, the crowd murmured, believing she had finally lost her mind.
Suddenly, an arrow flew at an alarming speed, cutting the ropes binding her arms.
