Chapter 47 Judgment
Inside the Royal Prison in Rome.

Sirona, who had always been majestic in armor, now put on the clothes of a prisoner.

His blond hair was scattered on his shoulders in a mess. He put his hands on the fence and shouted loudly toward the outside:

"Catherine, you sinister, hypocritical and shameless woman! How dare you frame me, let me go out, I will pierce your heart with a sword! The Norman Empire was brought down by me and the Norman Emperor! You are just a lousy and disgusting bitch!" People, by seducing the emperor to the throne, I suspect that you killed the emperor! You are not worthy of sitting on the throne of our Norman Empire!"

……

The entire prison was filled with Sirona's unwilling roars, until Catherine walked up to him with Allen.

"General Sirona, are you thirsty?" Catherine seemed to be pulling a homely tone.

"Bah! Vicious woman!"

Sirona spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

Catherine seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and dodged sideways.

"Sirnod, yesterday, my guards seized 97 gold coins from your manor. I didn't expect to embezzle so much. How should the sentence be changed according to the laws of our empire, Dean Allen?"

"You!" Sirona trembled angrily.

Allen said slowly: "He himself was hanged, all property in his family was confiscated, and all clan members were revoked their titles and military ranks."

"Well, let's do it like this." Catherine smiled coldly at Sirona: "General Sirona, war and politics are two different things, do you understand now?"

"You son of a bitch! My soldiers won't make it easy for you!" Sirona was confident in his army.

Catherine said in a very charming tone:

"I can only say that you overestimated them. If you are willing to kneel down and beg me now, and swear to be loyal to me forever in the future, I can consider letting you go this time."

Sirona was stunned for a moment. He was shaken. Even though he was upright, he was still afraid of death. If it was true as Catherine said, then after his death, all his family members would be implicated. This is something he couldn't bear to see of.

Catherine looked at Sirona with great interest, he hesitated for a long time, and finally knelt down with trembling legs, swearing allegiance to Catherine.

"Since that's the case, I can spare your family, but the incident is such a big mess, and the civilians in Rome are waiting for me to deal with you. I can't let this matter pass so easily." Catherine said.

"Your Majesty..." Sirona's dignity had been defeated at this moment, so he could only continue to ask Catherine.

"Tomorrow in the central square, I will arrange a trial ceremony. At that time, the whole city will come to watch. At that time, you will publicly admit your crimes and swear to repent. My pardon will also be justified."

Catherine smiled slightly, she really knew psychology very well, and every sentence of spiritual induction made Sirona see the hope of life.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen!"

Sirona knelt and said, what he thought in his heart was that as long as he could survive, there would always be a chance for revenge.

……

At noon the next day, tens of thousands of onlookers gathered in the central square.

Officials announced yesterday that Her Majesty the Empress will trial Imperial General Sirona in the central square today.

So the nearby residents rushed over.

Under the protection of the guards, Catherine stepped onto the marble platform in the central square, and she sat on the leather armchair.

All the officials and civilians knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Your Majesty the Queen."

Catherine had just ascended the throne not long ago, and this was the first time she met the commoners as a queen. She waved with a smile and greeted everyone.

"The queen is so beautiful! I heard that she is over 100 years old, and her skin looks better than mine!"

"Yeah, the sapphire in her crown is so shiny, and the black dress is so pretty."

Two girls in their 20s were whispering.

Not long after, Sirona was brought up by two guards.

Discussions sounded again from below.

Dean Allen stood up and presided over the meeting, "Everyone be quiet, the trial will begin soon."

Only then did everyone's voices quiet down.

He knelt in front of Catherine, bowed his head, like a capon without fighting spirit.

"Sirona, can you recognize the 97 gold coins found in your manor?" Allen asked seriously.

"I do." Sirona sighed.

Everyone booed.

"You are accused of embezzling military expenses, can you admit it?"

"I think."

The crowd sighed again.

After Allen asked, he asked Catherine:

"Your Majesty, Imperial General Sirona embezzled 97 gold coins in military expenses. Now the evidence is complete, and he himself has pleaded guilty. According to the laws of our empire, he should be hanged on the spot."

After speaking, Sirona was tied to the gallows by several executioners, waiting for Catherine's orders.

Catherine stood up slowly and said to everyone:

"Dear civilians, I am also very saddened that this happened. General Sirona has made countless military exploits for our empire. I trust him very much and let him be in charge of the empire's army, but I didn't expect him to embezzle military funds. , This is my dereliction of duty at work, it is my failure to manage my ministers well, I am here to apologize to everyone."

After speaking, Catherine bowed deeply to everyone.

This behavior has won the favor of many civilians.

"General Sirona, do you have anything else you want to say to everyone?" Allen asked.

According to the script, as long as Sirona expresses his shame and remorse to everyone and makes up his mind to change his past, Catherine can find an excuse to spare his life.

"I am ashamed of the Norman Empire, I am ashamed of the soldiers of the army, and I am ashamed of all the civilians..."

Sirona was tied to the gallows, and after expressing his remorse excitedly, he looked at Catherine, waiting for her pardon.

Catherine turned her head and glanced at Sirona, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of her mouth.

Then she faced the people and said:

"According to the laws of the empire, embezzling military funds is a serious crime. I order that Sirona be hanged immediately!"

Sirona opened his eyes wide and looked at Catherine in disbelief. He was cheated by this damned woman again! ! !

However, the executioner had already tightened the noose. At this moment, Sirona's whole body was strangled by the rope, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak a word.

Catherine was still there and went on:

"I will fire all the generals in the Sirona family who served in the army, and all the properties of Sirona's family will be liquidated and reissued to the soldiers who defended our country on the front line!!!"

In the eyes of everyone, the bad guys got the punishment they deserved, and justice was done, so everyone cheered.

After hearing Catherine's last sentence, Sirona was hanged on the gallows.

His eyes were wide open, and he refused to close them.

Sirona admitted the false charges and ruined the reputation of the Sirona family, but he unexpectedly became Catherine's stepping stone to win people's hearts.

He was extremely remorseful before he died, and he shouldn't have believed anything Catherine said.

This woman is the most ruthless and scheming.

Such a great opportunity to take over the army.

How could she let herself live?
Sure enough, the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is.
