day 80

Today was the day that Minju and her people would be executed for their crimes.First and foremost, Minju's attempt to kill Minji stood as a testament to her treachery. With the help of one of the royal physicians, she had infiltrated Jimin's palace to administer a deadly disease to Minji. Though the physician ultimately failed in his mission, he would now face the dire consequences of his actions.

Second, Minju had devised Project X, a nefarious plan intended to slowly dismantle Jimin's kingdom from within before claiming it for herself. This heinous plot, too, had failed, and Minju would pay the price for her malevolence.

Lastly, there was her assault against Winter. The mere thought of it filled Jimin with a fury that burned deep within her. For the past five days, Jimin had personally overseen Minju's torture, ensuring that she felt the pain and suffering she so richly deserved.

As the moment of execution approached, the air was thick with anticipation. Jimin stood resolute, her eyes hard and unyielding, as Minju and her followers were led to their fate. Justice would be served, and the kingdom would find peace once more.

The people of Kwangya were all gathered in a grand stadium built of wood and stone, its imposing structure reflecting the gravity of the day's events. The air was filled with murmurs and gossips of hatred against Minju and her people, who emerged from the dugout, chained together and flanked by guards with drawn swords, ready to strike should any attempt to escape.

High above, Jimin watched from a towering platform, her presence commanding the attention of all below. She stood tall, her gaze unwavering as she observed the proceedings.Minju and her followers were then led to the guillotines, their fates sealed. Each one was forcibly pushed into place by the guards, their heads trapped beneath the overhead wood, the cold steel of the blade gleaming ominously above.

The terrified screams of Minju's people echoed through the stadium, but they were drowned out by the raucous cheers of the audience, who reveled in the sight of justice being served. The atmosphere was charged with a mix of fear and excitement, the crowd's bloodlust palpable.Amidst the chaos, Minju remained silent. Her eyes, filled with hatred, locked onto Jimin. She refused to show fear, even as she faced her impending death. Her defiance was a final act of rebellion, a silent promise that her spirit would not be broken, even in her last moments.

Jimin's expression remained stoic, her resolve unshaken. This was the culmination of days of investigation, torture, and the pursuit of justice. As the blades prepared to fall, Jimin felt a sense of grim satisfaction. Today, the kingdom of Kwangya would witness the end of a treacherous chapter, and the beginning of a more secure future.

"Kill...Kill...Kill!" The crowd shouted and demanded, their voices rising in a frenzied chorus."Silence!" Jimin's voice rang out, cutting through the noise with an authority that commanded immediate attention.

The audience fell into a hushed anticipation, their collective breath held as they turned their eyes to the solitary figure in the tower. Jimin stood alone, having insisted that her sister Minji and Winter remain at the palace, shielded from the grim spectacle. Jimin was accustomed to such scenes, having watched her father carry out executions against his enemies, a harsh lesson she had learned well.
