Chapter 205 Death Penalty, Immediate Execution

Chiag's crimes have been proven, which should be a good thing, but some of the people present are still trembling with anger. "Your Honor!"

At this moment, a member of the public in the audience suddenly shouted, "This kind of beast in human clothing should not be let off lightly! This kind of person should be executed!"

"Yes, with so many heinous and inhuman crimes combined, they absolutely cannot be let off lightly; they must be sentenced to death!"

"That's right, death penalty, death penalty, death penalty!" As the shouts of death penalty fell to the ground, everyone who had heard them stood up and waved their hands in unison.

"Insist on sentencing scum like Chiag to death!" Vilette's authoritative voice rang out.

The noise at the scene gradually subsided, and "all trials and judgments will ultimately be decided by the standard set by the Cardinal."

According to the decree issued by the Cardinal, Chiag was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in Mero Petersburg, never to see the light of day again.

The crowd below the stage erupted in a commotion upon hearing this. "Why, Your Honor? He's done so many heinous things!"

Why should we allow him to live?

"Yes, Your Honor, please reconsider this matter."

"He killed so many people, not even sparing a little girl. If you let him go so easily, how can those who died because of him rest in peace?"

"Exactly! He killed so many people, yet all he got in the end was to spend the rest of his life in Mero Petersburg. If that's the case, who will seek justice for those who died? What kind of justice is that!"

Seeing the situation spiral out of control again, Villette felt extremely helpless. The cases committed by Chiag were comparable to the serial disappearances of teenage girls.

From a humanitarian perspective, such people should not be easily forgiven, but this is the law of Fontainebleau, and no matter how serious the crime, it applies.

Ultimately, he would only be imprisoned. In Mero Petersburg, Navigette did indeed have a moment of doubt, wondering if this kind of justice could truly be considered justice.

The dead can never come back, but the murderer is merely imprisoned in Mero Petersburg, seemingly a prison, but he earns a comfortable living through work. What kind of imprisonment is this?

However, all the laws of Fontaine were established by the water god Fucarus, and Naviette had no choice but to uphold them. And just as Naviette...

Just as she was about to try and quell the anger, she shouted, "Quiet, all of you!" Suddenly, Funina's voice rang out, and the chaotic scene returned to calm.

They all looked up at Furynna on the throne, and Furynna, gazing at the people below, spoke: "My people,"

"I know you are extremely dissatisfied with this trial, and by the same token, I also do not approve of it." At this point, Funina let out a sigh of relief, calming herself down.

"All of Teyvat knows that in this land of justice, there is no death penalty. No matter how serious the crime, the most severe punishment is only in Mero Petersburg."

They lived out the rest of their lives, but precisely because of this, those cruel, ruthless, wicked, and insane people became even more unscrupulous, which was especially true for the deceased.

"It's not justice at all," Furina said, then turned to look at Chiag, who was standing on the judging panel. "Chiag, as my subject..."

I would have shown the utmost tolerance and love to leniently sentence you to any crime you have committed, but you have used this as a shield to escape justice.

If you remain obstinate and unpunished, it will be difficult to quell public anger. Remember what I said? Nothing you've done is forgivable.

This is intolerable. Today's verdict is personally decided by me, the water god Fucarus. I hereby declare the original penal code for Chiag revoked.

"Change to the death penalty, to be carried out immediately." As Funina finished speaking, a brief silence was followed by cheers that instantly resounded throughout the Opizley Opera House.

"That's right, exactly! Excellent judgment! Long live Lady Funina! Truly worthy of being our goddess of justice!"

"Fantastic! Lord Water God! You are the true deity worthy of our reverence. Your decision is inspiring. Long live the Lord Water God!"

"Well done! This kind of person should be sentenced to death. Lord Water God's decision is truly gratifying! Long live Lord Water God!"

The crowd below the stage almost unanimously rose to their feet, cheering and praising Funina with deafening roars that seemed to shatter the sky.

At this moment, Funina slowly raised her hand, and the crowd quieted down. After calming the commotion, Funina looked at Chiag again.

As for Chiag, the light in his eyes had completely vanished, leaving only endless silence, ever since he decided to trade himself for his daughter's life.

Chiag had already prepared himself for the possibility of facing the death penalty, but even with these preparations, when the death sentence was handed down...

All that remained in their hearts was endless fear and despair. Although everyone knew that Fontaine was not sentenced to death, it was simply that there was no precedent for it.

As the saying goes, one knows oneself better than anyone else. If Ranach's collusion with the Fools to poison Fontaine's drinking water with Lors is an act of treason, then...

All the crimes Naqiag committed combined are beyond description; to call him a beast would be an insult to that word.

"Kiag." Furina's voice came, pulling Kiag back from the endless abyss of darkness and despair. Kiag turned his head away.

His eyes were filled with despair as he looked at Furina. "Chiag, remember what I said. As my people, I will give you a chance to repent with the utmost tolerance and love."

Some mistakes, once made, are irreversible. But I now allow you to leave your final words: Is there anything you wish to do but haven't yet accomplished?

Speak up, and if it doesn't break the law, we'll do our best to grant your request, as a final farewell.

Tears of regret streamed down Chiag's face, but he didn't realize that he was now a dying man. "Ms. Furina..."

"Now that you've finished your proposal, may I say something?" At that moment, Violet's voice rang out.

"Ms. Furina, your joke is almost over. According to the normal procedure, after the Cardinal of the Decree gives his decision..."

"It should be carried out now. Guards, take Mr. Chiag away." As soon as Navelette finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

But the guards only then realized what was happening and were about to step forward to take Chiag away when they were yelled at: "Hey, hey, hey, stop right there! Nobody is allowed to move without my order!"

When Funina's voice rang out, the guards were so startled that they froze in mid-air, their feet still planted on the ground.

One of them lost his balance and even sat down on the ground with a thud, saying, "Sorry, Lord Water God, I really couldn't stand up!"

Furina ignored the guard and looked at Naviette. "Naviette, what do you mean? When did I say I was joking?"

"Everything I just said was true." Vilette, hearing Frynn's earnest tone, felt it wasn't as if she were speaking to the public.

"Ms. Furina, if what you just said was not a joke, then I think it is necessary to remind you that the final verdict of all trials in Fontaine..."

The decision should have been made by the cardinal decree, and the cardinal's decision was not a death sentence. According to the law, this judgment...

The appropriate punishment should be life imprisonment in Meropolis instead of the death penalty, and this was the rule you set in the first place, you said, according to the decree issued by the Cardinal.

"It cannot be altered in any way." Hearing this, Funina was speechless. "Hey, Vilette, do you want to hear what you're saying again?"

As you said yourself, it was my decision. All the laws of Fontaine were established by me, and even that giant machine was created by me.

"Does this mean my words don't count?" Villette asked, her tone somewhat serious. "Ms. Frinina, may I understand that..."

"You want to arbitrarily alter the law, changing the existing law to force Chiag to be sentenced to death." "Navilet, did you understand what I meant?"

All laws are my decisions, and that machine is also my creation; its decisions are my decisions. If the judgment is wrong according to the law...

"As the god of law and justice, I can rescind the judgment." Hearing Frynn's somewhat angry tone, Violet simply raised the conviction sheet she was clutching in her hand.

He said in a serious and cold tone, "The conviction has been issued, the charge has been set, and the conviction is established. You have not made any changes. The conviction clearly states, Mr. Chiag..."

As Navelette spoke, her eyes caught sight of the words on the conviction sheet she held in her hand, and she noticed that the charges had changed.

Initially, Chiag was sentenced to life imprisonment in Melo Petersburg, but now the conviction notice prominently displays the words: death penalty, to be carried out immediately.
