Chapter 58: Burial

The bodies of the rebels were taken down from the gallows and buried on the outskirts of the town, a process done as stipulated by Violet, and no objections were raised during the exercise.

All seemed to take place smoothly as though intended, but there was a different story unfolding behind the scenes.

A story unbeknownst to Violet.

On the outskirts of every town, there lay a vast graveyard, where countless bodies naturally rested. However, those who had the privilege to be laid in the graveyard after death were usually aristocrats or respectable rich men.

Not because the Empire forbade commoners from having burials, but because the process was extravagantly expensive.

Most ordinary folks couldn't afford it.

Therefore, Violet's instinctive request to have the guards bury the rebels - a task carried out by merely digging a hole - was an unimaginable course of action by any standard.
