The arena was filled with spectators who came to see the fall of a noble family. Ivana was on the ground, stones still falling on her. She could not move. When it got too much the soldier warned the people to stop.
She was tugged, pulling her up, her chain dragged, pulling her to the pole. Ivana's death was one of the most gruesome at this time. To be burnt alive, it was chosen by the council under Lucian's control. It was a punishment kept for witches and those who committed very shameful acts.
The entire royal family was present to watch. Abrielle sat calmly on her seat, her eyes watching the duchess. She has complex emotions watching Ivana and her heart squeezed but she didn't understand why
A thought crossed her mind it could be her facing this death. "Being burnt to death must be painful," Evelyn mentioned.
