Another Believer had displeased the King and was sent to the guillotine.
People gathered in the square to witness a Tidal Sect Believer, bound tightly, being led to the execution platform. His mouth was gagged, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence. In truth, no one knew what crime the Believer had committed, but everyone was aware that the King had been in a terrible mood lately. The number of people sent to the guillotine was increasing, and even ministers from the royal palace were not exempt.
Perhaps this had something to do with the frequent "mechanical rains" that had been occurring lately.
That was the name they had given to this strange natural phenomenon. Beginning a few days ago, the sky would occasionally rain down a massive amount of metal fragments, injuring many people.
