No one could have imagined it.
Those students from the Hyrule War Academy, who had always carried themselves with pride and lofty ideals, were truly hanged to death on the execution platform!
The most shocking part was not just that they were condemned, but that the imperial soldiers actually carried out the order with their own hands.
These were not common criminals—they were young scholars, supposedly upholding justice and speaking for righteousness.
Yet even so, the soldiers had no hesitation in tightening the nooses.
At first, the students struggled fiercely, their legs kicking in vain.
Then their bodies weakened, their movements slowed, until at last they dangled lifelessly, strangled by the rope.
For a brief moment, the entire execution ground fell into a heavy silence.
The corpses swayed faintly in the breeze, their lifeless eyes wide open.
A gust of wind passed through the gallows, and the ropes creaked.
"Damn it! You monsters!"
No one knew who shouted it.
