Adias Floryn: Get Back The Kingdom
Section 3: Public Execution

"My name is Iaros. While drinking this first." Said Iaros who saw the two of them still sobbing until his eye bags were seen. He offered hot chocolate to warm the bodies of the two of them. He also took a towel, and a blanket. 

Incidentally, hot chocolate is both of their favorite drinks. They both drank it, and they remembered Maine, which often made them hot chocolate. Again, their tears kept on dripping.

"Ohhh, I'm crying again. Is that hot chocolate I made?" Iaros. After that, Iaros thought they might need time alone to calm down. Finally he left the house and bought food. 

The rain subsided, along with the cries of the two of them who also died down. They calmed down a little and started thinking clearly. 

"Thea, even though we're away from home, surely Papa Mama can find us." Said Dias trying to calm Thea down. In fact, both of his parents are unlikely to be able to catch up with them because of his terrible circumstances. 

Thea simply nodded while rubbing her swollen eyes. 

Dias decided to get some fresh air first. He took Thea out and took a walk looking around. Then by chance he saw Iaros bringing a change of clothes to those whose clothes had been wet with rain.

"Where are you? change it there." Said Iaros, then he handed the shirt over to them. 

They accepted it, and immediately changed her clothes. 

Finally, it was Iaros who took them for a sightseeing trip to the Capital. Iaros takes them to the shopping mall and who knows they are entertained there. And sure enough, after seeing the assortment of people selling food, unique items, and some street buskers, make them excited again. They had never seen it all, as they were both forbidden to leave the royal palace in order to maintain their safety. 

"Sister, what is it? How about clouds?" Thea pointed to the cotton candy salesman. After that, he also saw the little boy who ate the cotton candy. "Why can it be eaten?"

"That's not like Margaret's hair? Just like Margaret's white hair rolled up." Said Dias who still remembers Margaret who was the head of the Servant in the kingdom who was almost 64 years old. 

"Yes, but when they ate Margaret's hair?" Reply Thea. 

"Kids, that's what cotton candy is called. It tastes good. You want?" Barat Iaros to them. 

They agreed and Iaros immediately bought him one man and one man. After buying it, he immediately gave the cotton candy to them. They both looked curious about the white cloud and smelled the fragrant smell of the candy. After that, they tried the taste.

"Well, suddenly the cloud was gone in my mouth, and it was sweet too" Thea said. 

Seeing Thea sparkling after eating it, Dias finally tried it as well. “Ahh, yes. So sweet. Hahahaha,” He said while lifting the cotton candy high. 

In addition, Iaros also invited them to see a monkey mask in the middle of the city. Because they felt funny with the monkey's behavior, they both laughed out loud.

Seeing their improved mood, Iaros' feelings became calmer. He smiled widely while giving a dime to the person who performed the monkey mask show. 

They continued their journey until they arrived at the spacious and bustling city square. 

Not long after, a large hologram appeared in the middle of the square that was witnessed by many people. Yet very rarely do holograms appear unless there are big days in the kingdom. 

The square became noisy and crowded. Many people who immediately approached and gathered watched together which displayed a woman in chains of both hands, with her head already placed on the Guillotine (a decapitation device). Similarly, a man with a sturdy body, also juxtaposed beside the woman with the head already located on the guillotine without the need for handcuffs, because his hands are no longer there. 

"Ma.. Ma?" Said Dias with glaring eyes. Just like Thea who is still frozen and pays deep attention to the front of the hologram. 

"Queen Neia? King Vyros? What the hell is going on?" Said one of the people who saw the hologram with his friend.

"I don't know either. I can't stand the sight of Queen Neia who seemed to have been slashed." retorted her friend who witnessed Neia's bloody eyes without being able to open. 

"Aren't they both Kings and Queens who are highly respected by their people? Why could they both be treated so cruelly?"

"Don't know, Bro. It is not our kingdom. Who knows the condition of their kingdom which of course they themselves." Answer the other friend. 

After that, there appeared a young man in blue, glasses with a stature around the age of 46 years, namely Tobias who began to speak on the stage where the King and Queen were to be shackled. 

"Ehm.. Um.. Excuse um.. This time, the Kingdom of Farnesse was about to enter a new era..!!" 

Dias and Thea listened intently to what Tobias was saying. Most of the content of his speech was to vilify his parents. 

In addition to making vague pleasantries, he also gave accusations of crimes that were never actually committed by the two people. 

"Not only that, bro, what's worse is that they even hold human trades in other kingdoms. Isn't human trafficking banned?" 

"Oh, I just found out about that, too. I guess it's just a rumor that if the Kingdom does drug trafficking, uh it could be worse. Bagos, instead of being ingenious, fools his own people." 

“No.. i-it's all.. not true.” murmured Dias.

"Hadehh, it's appropriate that they both beheaded. They don't deserve to live." Said another. 

"Yes yes. Surely all his people are really furious and want to torture him immediately. Why the guillotine, though? Would his people be satisfied if the big bad guy who stole the people's money was just immediately beheaded without torturing him first?" 

“No.. don't.. no..” Mumbled once more. 

Tobias continued his speech, this time showing evidence of the crimes committed by his beloved parents. He issued suspicious financial records.

“See this note! All the income obtained from the tax revenues of the people is not divided and instead piles up in the royal treasury! This way we all know, if what the kingdom is doing is not tax withdrawal, but extortion!!” 

“Iyaaa! just burn both!!” Shouted the people who were there.

“Quick behead only! haduhh.. so long!!”

“Old, woee.. I'm going to WC woy!!” The longer it takes, the place becomes more crowded. 

Iaros watched as Dias and Thea were silent as statues. However, the statue was seen shaking all over his body. Iaros should not have allowed the little boy to see the scene, because it would affect his mentality, Iaros finally planned to bring the two of them back home.

“Come home.” Iaros said while holding Dias' hand. But at that instant, Iaros' hand was instantly brushed aside by him.

Dias looks very angry, with his creaking teeth gnashing, he instantly shouts “ALL DIAAM!!.” He couldn't stand it when everyone who was there was gossiping about his parents. “WHOEVER OPENS HIS MOUTH, I'LL KILL!!” Further. But it did not frighten people, and instead assumed the boy had gone mad.

“Ey, what's wrong with this kid? This is your son, Iaros?” Said one there. Iaros just shook his head and pretended not to know about this child.

“Woe, bocil can't watch this. There go home. hush-hush.” A bald man banished Dias and Thea, but they both remained unmoved on the spot and kept watching the execution of his own parents. 

Iaros watched the two children up close who stood there. The views of the two of them seemed to be filled with emotion, sadness, and confusion at one time. Iaros knew, they would not be willing to move out of place even though a natural disaster had suddenly struck this place. 

“For a while, let them here.” Iaros. Everyone looked back at the hologram screen and watched it together.

Tobias continued his speech, “This is the punishment when attacking a king who is not good at taking care of the government! And this is also a punishment for those who do arbitrarily with the little people! Don't think a commoner can't bring you all down! as long as we are all united, then we will not fall and will continue to be intact!” He said, then the two people in charge of executing went up on stage. They held a knife used to cut the rope that held the large blade over the heads of the King and Queen. 

“Goodbye God damn King and Queen! May you be at peace in Hell! Cover all your sins there, and I hope God can forgive the sins of dirty criminals like you.” 

Tobias stepped off the stage while signaling the two Executors to immediately decapitate the two of them. King Vyros and Queen Neia were helpless as if– had no power at all and let the executioner cut the rope.

The executioner cut the rope holding the large knife together. The knife fell down and instantly beheaded the King and Queen.

"Come!!"

Thea suddenly fell unconscious. Iaros tried to wake him up, but it was no longer possible. The little girl was no longer able to resist how broken her little heart was when she watched her parents being killed in front of her eyes.

Dias ran as fast as he could away from the place. He shouted like a madman while calling out his two severed parents before his own eyes. 

“MAMA!! PAPA!! MOMAM!! PAPA!!! MAAAA!! PAPAA!!!!” The screams sounded so discordant and so painful. He kept running with his eyes that kept on shedding tears until it blocked his sight, and he ended up falling down from being tripped by a tree root.

“Mama.. Papa's.. Huuu.. ” Dias sobbing. 

Simultaneously, suddenly all the trees there were burning without anyone knowing what was really igniting them. Dias occasionally shouted back his parents, making the fire grow bigger and causing a thick smoke. No matter how much fire burned the place, the wound in his heart was bigger and more painful than the flames that were blasting through the surrounding trees.

Not long after, Iaros came breaking through the flames while carrying Thea on his shoulders. Dias ignored Iaros and continued to cry. Iaros came closer with a look of pity. 

Iaros lowered his head and said to Dias in a serious tone, “So, you want revenge?” 

Hearing that, Dias stopped his crying and looked at Iaros sharply. After that, he suddenly fell unconscious.
