Zenit wasted no ti carrying out the task Amber gave him. He moved his personal guards to imdiately look into the matter, and in less than an hour, everything was set up.
The culprits were captured and chained up in the center of the city, and then it was announced all around that five elves would be executed in an hour's ti. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire
This was sothing that had not been seen in years, so when people heard about it, it caused a massive fuss in the city, so much so that even Silva got to hear about it.
Gabriel ran into the room and showed a flyer about the execution.
"Silva, look at this. Five people are about to be executed in the center of the city," he said, handing the flyer to Silva.
Silva took it and looked at it. The images of the people that attacked him were all there, and that was when Silva realized Amber had gone wild when she arrived at the mayor's house.
"Amber, she must have been really pissed off. I should find her and talk to her," Silva said, got up, and left the room.
He imdiately headed for Amber's room.
Knock knock. Silva knocked on the door twice and then walked in. Amber was seated on the bed, looking out the window.
"It was . I know you want to ask. They deserve death, after all," Amber said.
"I know it's you, and I don't want to tell you anything or make you feel bad, but I want to thank you. You stood up for and even went to the extre of making sure they get killed," Silva said and hugged her.
Amber was taken off guard. She didn't expect Silva to just hug her, but she would not let this opportunity go to waste. She hugged him back imdiately and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"You ca to my ho for the first ti. There is no way I'd allow so elf to disrespect you and go scot-free.
If it were left to , this whole city would burn for even touching you," Amber said.
At this point, Silva realized sothing: he had underestimated Amber's feelings for him. It had reached the point where she would forsake her people for him.
This led him to think: was there a point in him using backhanded thods to get information from the elves? He had her, and if she loved him this much, she would willingly give it to him.
Silva pulled back from their hug and looked her straight in the eyes.
"Amber, you understand that I am always going to have enemies, right? Even amongst the elves, so they will always be against .
I have a habit of making counterasures before the ti for using them, so what I'm saying is I'll need your help to gather as much information from your people—the elves—to be able to defend myself.
I know this is a lot to ask of you, and if you can't do it, I completely understand, and I'll not disturb you about it—"
She placed her finger on Silva's lips.
"You aren't. Don't worry. I'll follow you wherever you go, and I'll help you do whatever you want to. Even if you tell to forsake the whole elf kingdom, I would. After all, I can't allow the others to get ahead of . You are mine," Amber said.
"Then I have nothing to worry about. Thank you, Amber," Silva said and hugged her again.

The ti for the execution ca, and people trooped into the city center in huge numbers. Soon the place was crowded, and there was no movent space at all.
A massive platform had been set at the center, made purely out of wood, so that it could be taken down after what was about to happen.
Five wooden beams were erected on the platform, made to be ten feet tall so that whoever was tied to them would not be able to remove their arms.
Tied to the beams were the five people about to be executed. They looked battered and completely broken.
One could tell that they had gone through a lot of beatings before being put here. So people held disgust for them, so held sadness, and so didn't have any emotions towards them.
Silva, Amber, Drake, Lily, and Gabriel made their way to the place, and they saw the people tied up who were about to die.
"Cris worthy of death are rare already, but those that are worthy of public execution are far rarer," Gabriel said. "It takes committing sothing unforgivable to get this type of death.
There are a few things I can think of, though I don't know how the elf system works. I've not had the chance to carry out any missions here," Gabriel said.
"It's simple, Gabriel. They made a move against Silva, which ans they made a move against ," Amber said.
"Wait, what?" Gabriel asked in shock. If what she said was true, then it made sense. Disrespecting soone of Amber's status would surely call for death.
After hearing that, their treatnt didn't seem so bad. In fact, he would say they were rushing the whole thing. If the emperor of the human empire was disrespected, or his child, Gabriel knew how much torture the offender would go through before being killed.
After minutes of waiting, the mayor and the executioner ca up. The executioner was a well-built elf wearing only black pants. He had flowing silver hair that reached his back, and his skin was tanned.
"Today, we say goodbye to these five n. They are brothers and children, but they did sothing unforgivable, and as such, their lives will be taken in compensation.
These five disrespected and caused harm to the princess, daughter of the emperor, heir to the world tree, and demon king candidate.
There is no more unforgivable sin than that, and today they shall all be punished, and their lives will suffice," the mayor said and stepped back.
Two guards climbed up and imdiately loosened the first man from his beam.
