81

A few days after Ivona moved to the Archduchy, the day of the Sloan family's execution came. Some of them were protesting and crying, begging to be set free, but the rest, including Garric and Malrik Sloan, were silent, knowing they had no way out of it.

As promised before, Michelle took Ivona with her and came to the Imperial Palace to go to the execution grounds with Kieran Ashford. She used the time before the execution to introduce Ivona and Kieran to each other, since both of them would be coming with her to the lower realm.

Soon, the execution started, and Michelle watched the family get hanged one by one. Not many people were around, since officials couldn't care less about a small family like the Sloan family, and the common folk didn't care about the execution of corrupt officials.

After the whole Sloan family died from hanging, the executioner took the bodies down and severed their heads.
