Banishment and Special Favor

"NO! King, please have mercy on us. Please have mercy," the convicted families shouted at once.

The Left Minister looked up the sky and remained quiet. He already knew the outcome and had no more strength to protest. The others were taken back to the dungeon while the Left Minister chose to stay and wait for the appointed time.

The banished members of the clan were taken to different ports. There were ships that would transport them to their chosen kingdom. They would be on their own once they reached their destination. They were provided with some money, food, and clothing to get them settled.

When the appointed time arrived, the Left Minister was led to a place where a guillotine was waiting for him. The masked executioner placed his head in a round wooden frame known as a lunette. He closed his eyes and the masked executioner let go of the blade.

Bam!

The women screamed when they saw the head of the Left Minister rolled into the basket.
