In the next second, Natalie looked at Clarice. "Clarice, what do you have to say?"
Clarice hesitated and mumbled, "I...Jack and these people deserve to die for their sins, but they have done so much for the Raksasa Tribe. I beg Your Majesty to not kill them."
Natalie pondered and said, "They have committed treason so they deserve to die, but for the sake of you trying your best to protect me, I will let them live for the time being."
Then, Natalie's eyes flickered as she thought of something.
"Send these people to the Endless Abyss!" she ordered the warriors.
‘The Endless Abyss?’ Jack shuddered, his face paling in horror.
Woody and the others were dripping in a cold sweat. They would rather die than be thrown into the Endless Abyss.
At the same time, Clarice asked in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, what difference would it make from killing them if they end up in the Endless Abyss?"
The Endless Abyss was on the west side of their residential land and was seemingly bottomless. It existed long before the Raksasa Tribe first migrated into the land. No one knew how deep it was or where it led to. The only thing they knew was no one that fell into the abyss ever came back alive.
Sigh.
Natalie took a deep breath and looked at Clarice earnestly. "Clarice, I know you can't bear to see your godfather and two brothers end up in this state, but they have blatantly rebelled. That’s a sin that cannot be forgiven. I have not beheaded them because you pleaded for their lives and this is the greatest mercy I can show them. Do you understand me?"
Her tone was firm and irrefutable.
Clarice bit her lip, not knowing how to respond to the Queen’s statement!
She was in agony that her godfather and brothers would soon be thrown into the Endless Abyss.
The brothers cast sorrowful glances at each other. It seemed like they had no chance of living even after their little sister pleaded for them.
Woosh. Woosh. Woosh.
The sound of the wind whistled in their ears and terrified Jack, Woody, and the others.
After what seemed like a long time and when Jack thought he was dying, he landed unexpectedly in a deep pool at the bottom of the abyss.
Splash!
As soon as he fell into the water, a bitter cold attacked his bones. He shivered as he struggled to the surface. He looked around and was stunned.
Wow!
When Woody and the others came out of the water, they were also taken aback by the scene in front of them.
