Who Spent the Night with the Tower Master (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 171
The Emperor has been captured.
A report with the headline that the Emperor, who was attempting to suppress the rebels, was instead defeated by them, spread nationwide. People rushed out into the streets, shouting that a new era had arrived, immersed in excitement.
Until the Emperor’s execution, merchants distributed food and drink for free, and people of all ages and genders poured into the streets, singing or dancing.
It was also confirmed through palace testimonies that Empress Bianez had been poisoning the previous Emperor for a long time for the sake of the Seventh Prince. Furthermore, additional testimonies revealed that the Seventh Prince had disguised the deaths of the First and Second Princes as an accident during the Grand Assembly and set a fire, leading to an outpouring of harsh criticism toward the Sindmaria family.
Moreover, when it was revealed that the Emperor had ordered the activation of the forbidden weapon ‘Great Siege Magic’ by holding the lives of the empire’s citizens hostage, he became known as the scum of the earth and a traitor.
As public opinion worsened, the associates of the previous Emperor could not avoid being implicated. Nobles who had sided with Kazan confessed everything to avoid execution. They escaped the death penalty, but their properties were confiscated, and their titles were stripped.
All illegal research materials held by the Sindmaria family were also seized by the state. In the process, it was revealed that Riley’s biological mother, Emily, and father, Raiston, had been caught up in the affair and died, and that the previous Magic Tower Lords were also successively implicated and killed, causing another massive uproar.
The Sindmaria family’s wealth was fully restored to Riley Eadallin, the true victim of their misdeeds.
Regarding the investigation into the truth of the Magic Tower incident and the deaths of Emily and Raiston, the magical beast Riley kept provided significant help.
Due to the existence of the high-grade magical beast left to Riley by Raiston, some argued that responsibility should be held since the raising of magical beasts was prohibited and no reporting procedures had been followed. However, considering that Riley’s magical beast had not caused a single incident and was very docile according to the testimonies of those around her, leniency was granted.
Thus, there were many disturbances, big and small, until the Emperor’s execution.
All of this was noise stemming from the process of addressing the injustices accumulated by the previous Emperor and his people.
After a tumultuous month, the day of the Emperor’s execution arrived.
Unlike other criminals, the Emperor was to be publicly executed in the grand plaza. The plaza was so packed with spectators that there was no room to step.
Riley attended the execution with Gibnen. Van, Hilla, Rivne, Alton, and other members of the Tabiness family were also present.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
