Three days later, Attorney General Mitchell reported to the Emperor: "The Kennedy Familys case of colluding with the enemy and rebelling against the country has now been settled, Joseph Kennedy has been executed, and hundreds of people from the Kennedy Family have been executed according to the law, leaving only the eldest daughter of the Kennedy Family, Scarlett OHara, who is still imprisoned in the City Dungeon, awaiting beheading in the autumn."
The Emperor scolded the Attorney General in the hall, "Beheaded in the autumn? No need to wait! Tomorrow at noon, beheaded at the city gate, and the Prime Minister will supervise the beheading."
The civil and military officials faced the palace, but they had to follow the order.
City Dungeon.
"Scarlett OHara receives the decree!"
Scarlett OHara looked at the Attorney General in front of her, and she also had an answer in her heart. Scarlett slowly knelt down,
"The Emperor has decreed, the daughter of the criminal official Scarlett OHara, I read her virtue, exempt her from the pain of punishment, tomorrow at noon, beheaded at the city gate. This is the decree!"
"Scarlett OHara... receives the decree." Scarlett took the decree and looked at the back of the Attorney General as he left, feeling bitter in her heart: Dad, this is the king you are loyal to, this is the United States of America you have been serving! No matter how loyal you are, as long as it hurts the royal familys dignity, even if it is just a rumor, it will never be let go!
"Scarlett OHara, how do you feel after receiving this decree?"
"Rhett Butler!" Scarlett looked at Rhett who had walked to the front of her cell at some point.
"How is it, is your heart very sad? Do you feel that it is not worth it? Do you feel very unwilling?" Rhett looked down at Scarlett who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "I think, when my father received this decree back then, his heart felt just like you do now."
"Rhett, I dont believe you dont know that my father was just following orders! I also dont believe that you dont know that what happened to your family has nothing to do with our Kennedy Family! I dont believe you dont know that it was my father who saved your life back then!"
"Dont get excited, I know all these things you said, but so what?"
"So what?" Scarlett got up and rushed to the cell door, staring tightly at Rhett, "Rhett, it was my father who saved your life! I dont expect you to be grateful, but you cant repay evil for good!"
"Repay evil for good? Where does this come from? I am here to save you now!" Rhett stepped forward, and the distance between him and Scarlett was only separated by a prison door, "Scarlett, in fact, apart from other things, I really like you!"
Rhetts gaze lingered on Scarletts face, and he said softly, "Since you also like me, why dont I take you to my mansion!"
"What conspiracy do you have this time?" Scarlett was shocked to hear this.
"Why do you always speculate my intentions? I really dont have any other intentions this time, its just..."
"What is it?" Scarlett looked at Rhett with an expression that said I knew it.
"Its just..." Rhetts face got closer and closer to Scarlett, "Its just that I want you to see how the United States of America that your father has been loyal to and protected for most of his life, step by step, heads towards destruction! Hahaha."
"Come on, take Scarlett back."
"This... sir, you took the criminal away, how can I explain to the higher-ups?"
"You dont need to worry about this, I have my own decision! When they ask, let them come to me!"
"Yes, sir."
Rhett took Scarlett out of the City Dungeon.
"Tom, you take Scarlett back, lock her up in a courtyard, and keep a close eye on her!"
"Yes, sir!" Tom was about to take Scarlett away when he heard his master say, "By the way, go to the princesss mansion to deliver an invitation for me, saying that I heard from the servants that the princess came by the other day, but I didnt get to see her! Today, I want to invite the princess to the mansion for a chat to express my apologies!"
Tom was very surprised by these words, sir has never liked the princess, what is this now...?
Tom looked at Rhett and then turned his head to look at Scarlett, thinking to himself, well, this is for Scarlett again!
"Sir, think it over!"
Rhett turned his head and looked at Tom and said, "Some things cannot be thought about..."
