(Yes.)

Two guards grabbed Jayred where he stood. "My king, please." The former regent tried to beg.

"What will you have us do with him, King Korst?" Haki White-Eye asked.

"Bring him out to the palace courtyard. I want this bastard executed now." He replied.

"My king, the courtyard is currently filled with citizens that came to share your coronation day with you." Old Alfbrand pointed out. By his tone, he was not agreeing with what was going on. But the Steward dared not say a word.

"I don't care." Korst said as he walked down the steps of his throne. "Clear enough space on the courtyard to have the execution."

"Yes, my king." The Housecarl said and followed the guards outside.

Fryssa walked up to her son when he reached climbed down the last step. "Korst, I don't think this is the best way to start your reign as king."

"Nonesense. This is the perfect way. Jayred will serve as a message for all those traitors that dared claim their independence." He said. The young king followed after the guards and the prisoner.

The room was quiet, only a few hushed voices spoke in the crowd of nobles.

Maeva grabbed her mother's arm, scared with what was going on. Fryssa placed her hand on her daughter's head. "It's alright Maeva. Mother is here." Fryssa was shocked at what her son was doing. She had no idea that he would pull something like this on the day of his coronation.

Outside, Haki and his men cleared a large section of the courtyard. They pushed back the large crowd of citizens that had come to see their newly crowned king. "Back away!" Haki demanded as he pushed some civilians aside.

When Korst walked out of the palace, the excited citizens cheered and tried to greet their king. He waved at them, but other than that paid them no mind. When Jayred was escorted out by the two guards, some of the cheering died down and was replaced with confused murmuring.

Seeing as his subjects were confused, Korst decided to address them. He spoke loudly so they could hear him over the noise. "Thank you all for coming! I, your king, have a treat for you! Too long has this kingdom suffered at the innept hands of former Regent Jayred! I am putting a stop to it, by holding him accountable for his crimes!" He turned to his housecarl, Haki. "Fetch me a chopping block!" he ordered.
