No one said yes as all of them glanced around, trying to find the person who asked the question.
[Who dared to suggest execution?!]
[We never said we wanted their whole family to die!]
[It may be better indeed to replace the ruling household, but executing all of them is too much.]
Thankfully, the people were reasonable enough not to want the execution of the whole family.
After all, noble households were not formed out of nothing. Especially ruling households.
Ruling households were usually the ones who created the territory over the years.
This was exactly why punishments on ruling households were not given arbitrarily.
If someone from the ruling household failed, their other family members were usually made to take over.
If the whole family was part of it, then their relatives who contributed the most to the territory, or simply the closest kin, in honor of their ancestors' efforts.
