The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 862

Harry's POV:

Soon it was the execution day. As soon as dawn arrived, I waited for Joanna downstairs at her dormitory.

Five minutes later, she emerged from the building wearing a black coat and a black cap.

My heart was heavy. Joanna and I had prepared for this day. We were both set to take Sylvia away from her execution.

Sylvia's impending execution had already spread in the entire capital city. And it seemed they really wanted her to die. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so indifferent to public opinion.

Fortunately, there was no news about Flora. It was likely that she had not heard about it yet. If she did, she would have marched here despite her delicate pregnancy.

"Let's go." I took Joanna's backpack and carried it on my back. Then we went to the execution ground together.

The execution ground was in a colosseum at the heart of the capital city. It was a public holiday today, and because the person to be executed was the fiancee of Prince Rufus, the road was very crowded. Numerous cars were rushing to the city center, eager to witness the traitor put to death.

Joanna and I drove to the heart of the capital city. We didn't leave the car and walk until we arrived at the colosseum.

When we got there, the people present were discussing heatedly, especially those who followed behind Joanna and me. They didn't stop talking all the way.

"Isn't Prince Rufus unconscious? I heard that it was that bitch Sylvia who did it."

"No way! Prince Rufus loves her so much. How could Sylvia do that?"

"Who knows? I knew she was trouble. She seduced Prince Rufus with an evil intention."

"More than that, she has risen rapidly through the ranks of the army. I bet she used some dirty tactics to get promoted."

The soldier behind her was evidently impatient as he kept pushing her aggressively.

Sylvia staggered two steps forward, with the clatter of the shackles on her body resounding. She hurriedly protected her belly, appearing to be in discomfort as she did so.

The more I watched, the more I felt like my heart was being used as a punching bag. My eyes turned red at the sight of this. "If Prince Rufus was here, he wouldn't have let Sylvia suffer like this."

Joanna's face darkened. She clenched her fists and said, "What are they doing? Sylvia is pregnant with Prince Rufus' child."

Sylvia seemed to have sensed something. She turned her head in our way and caught sight of us.

I wanted to call her, but she shook her head and stopped me. I knew she didn't want to get us into trouble, but I still couldn't hold back, so I called out to her.

But the jeers of the crowd quickly drowned my voice. When the onlookers saw Sylvia being taken out, they cursed at her, with some even spitting in her direction.
