The People's Worries

William made his way majestically to the execution ceremony alongside his family, his 'aunts' and several of his men.

Well, the execution was actually taking place before the palace walls.

Several newly built execution stands had been placed on the walls for the occasion.

The simple wooden stands had just been built over these past few days and were made to be somewhat higher than the balcony railings.

In this way, once the execution began, those below would have a good look at how the heads would roll.

Just within the Capital city, there were over 4,000 nobles that had a hand in the politics of the empire.

Of course, one could say that only about 300 of them truly held any sort of power, while the rest were lackeys in their fractions.

Again, one should know that the Capital was the empire's most powerful and grandest city.

So other noble homes all around Arcadina had 1 or 2 representatives in the Capital.
