They were stripped of their lands and titles, received lashings, and were to be castrated for their crimes. The latter caused quite a stir amongst the spectators of the sentencing. 

Some of the accused attempted to beg Sierra for a lighter sentence, claiming that it was unfair. 

Annoyed by their groveling and claims of inequality, Sierra got up to her feet. Silence washed over the room instantly as she walked up closer to the accused. 

"How dare you talk to me about fairness? Do you not know of the crimes you've committed? You should count your lucky stars for if it was up to me, the punishment you received would be a hell lot worse." 

That silenced them immediately. 

After the court session was over, the criminals were taken out of the courtroom before the other guests were allowed to leave. Sierra remained in the courtroom to speak to a few of the nobles who were present.
