The Deaths

Witches were hung every day, even if they did nothing wrong and only tried to help the king. The more witches died, the more the people were killed by the creatures in the forest. What was the king doing this for? Nobody knows. But, one day...
" Your Majesty! " A boy called out, running into the throne room of the castle. The guards looked at the boy in confusion, questioning how he got inside.
" Your Majesty, " the boy panted, seeming like he ran in. " The more you hang the ones who protect us the more people die! Please, i beg of you, stop the slaughter! "
The king looked at the boy, unamused. He sat up, adjusting his crown.
" Witches are from the depths of Hell, they shall be hung no matter what you say, peasant. " King Jōgi said bluntly. "Guards, take this boy out of my sight! " The guards went to grab the boy who kicked and cried. He was thrown out of the castle. This event repeated several times, until the boy had dealt with enough of the king's stubbornness. The boy stormed into the castle with a book, as the guards ran after him. The boy, had enough.
