No one expected him to be a national hero who sympathized with the poor and dedicated his life to protecting the nation.
A person like him ended up with such a miserable fate.
Thousands of people gathered outside the courthouse. All of them lowered their heads in silence. Many women secretly wept for him.
“James…”
A voice came from behind him. James turned around and saw Henry chasing after him.
Henry approached him and asked, “Where are you going, James?”
James raised his hand weakly and patted Henry’s shoulder, saying, “I appreciate you. You don’t need to worry about my affairs anymore. Go back to the Southern Plains. Someone needs to be there to manage the hundred and fifty cities. Don’t let the Southern Plains fall into chaos.”
“But, you…”
James waved his hand and interrupted Henry.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. I’ll take this opportunity to have a really good rest. I’m exhausted. Incredibly exhausted.”
James reassured him and turned to leave.
The people at the entrance sensibly backed away to make a path for him. He walked through the path that the crowd made for him.
It felt incredibly long, and James could tell it would take him some time to walk through this crowded path.
“Restore James’ position!
“Sol needs our hero!”
…
A voice erupted from the crowd.
The others also followed suit and shouted together. The chanting became louder and louder. James felt the buzzing in his ears and was frustrated.
He quickened his pace, wanting to get out of this path surrounded by people as soon as possible.
However, James was poisoned, and the long walk depleted all his strength.
He could not go any further. Suddenly, his vision went blurry, and he fell to the ground.
