The Sensory Animals of Ston Hill

The door of the conference room opened, and the king walked out with the future queen on his arm.People were horrified to find a red and swollen palm print on the face of the future queen, and their hearts skipped a beat, worrying that the engagement just announced last night would no longer count.

The newly promoted Colonel Stone rushed up and was stopped by the guards' spears.The tall Swiss soldier crossed two four-meter-long medieval spears to block him; soon three more came, forming a heavy net over his head, and pressed him to his knees.

Alan Ston carried the heavy load, raised his hands high, and grabbed a gun handle with one hand, like a besieged beast.In a fit of rage, the king struck him across the body with his cane, calling him "another of the Stons."

People heard that the colonel was implicated by his elder brother, and began to tentatively intercede for him.Grace also heard it, she rushed to hug the king's arm, turned her head and shouted at Allen sternly: "This has nothing to do with you!"

The king vented his anger slightly, and took back his cane.Alan Stone, who was kneeling on the ground, no longer struggled, but still held the handles of the two guns with both hands, tried to raise his head, and stared angrily at the master of the country.

He glared at the king angrily, and soon looked away from the king.He saw Grace staring nervously at him, one face flushed and the other completely pale.Allen stared at him for two seconds, lowered his head, let go of his hands holding the spear, pressed to the ground, and fell down towards the king.

General Cromwell hurriedly took the opportunity to pull him out from the long guns, reprimanded him for being rude, and slapped him twice on the face.Now his face was red and swollen.

The king slammed his shoulder twice with his cane, and said with disgust, "Call your brother. I didn't allow him to leave so early. He still has tasks to complete."

Allen shook his shoulders twice when he kicked him, his head hung down and he didn't say a word.

The minister next to him hurriedly said: "Brigadier General Ston finished the handover early in the morning, and I am afraid that he is almost at the port by now."

The king asked him, "How long will it take to call him back?"

"It's so far away, even if you ride the fastest horse, it will take half a day to go back and forth."

The king even smiled when he heard the words, "It's so far away..." He hit Alan with his cane again, "Since you are willing to take care of your brother's business, then you will do it for him."

Allen finally spoke up: "Finish what?"

The king said in a disgusted and contemptuous tone: "Execute a pair of prisoners." Then he whispered to Grace: "This is a gift I prepared a long time ago, specially for you..."

Grace was horrified to see that his face looked sad.

The king said to him with this mournful look: "I had hoped that I had no chance of sending it."

They got into the carriage.At first Grace thought they were going back to the palace, but Grace didn't know the other way after entering the capital.Frightened and puzzled, he pretended to look out the window.Allen followed the king's golden carriage on horseback, his face was beaten in a panic, but his eyes looked extremely terrifying.Grace knew he had already guessed something, obviously bad.

Halfway through the journey, the king suddenly had another whim, saying that Colonel Ston was not there, so he would invite his wife.He even knew where Thea Kerrins lived, so he had someone invite her into the golden carriage.The poor woman, who had no idea what was going on and what was about to happen, was just infected by the horrible atmosphere here, kept looking at Grace, and coughed harder.

Amidst the bumping of the wheels and Caerines' coughing, the king suddenly raised his hand and lightly touched Grace's face, the side where he had been beaten.Grace was startled by him, her whole body trembled violently, and she couldn't help shrinking that half of her body.He also felt ashamed because Kerince was watching from the opposite side.

But the king didn't care about this. Instead, he stroked Grace's hair and whispered, "Don't blame me, Grace, you are too brave. You must learn this lesson, or you will make more mistakes. As long as If you don’t do it again, everything will be fine.”

Grace endured his touch, only wishing he could keep his voice down so that no third person could hear him.He hated that about the king, and everything he cared about, the king didn't care about.And he's not a dog, he won't do it again after one beating, and he can still wag his tail if he throws a bone.Impossible to get better.

The final destination is the Royal Prison.The gift the king prepared for Grace was a pair of criminals who had committed sodomy and incest.

The two were brought before the king.They were kneeling on the ground, so dirty and tattered that people couldn't see their faces clearly, only their cheeks were dry and their skin was full of wrinkles.

Pointing at them with his cane, the king asked Allen: "Colonel, do you know them? They used to be famous."

Grace found that they were indeed very famous, and the palace guards and soldiers guarding the prison obviously knew them, and cast disgusted looks at them.

But Alan lowered his head and didn't speak. He didn't seem to look at the faces of the two kneeling on the ground at all.

The king was not angry, and replied by himself: "One is a captain and the other is a sergeant. I can't tell which is which, but I still remember that they were 26 years old and the other 19 years old... It is said that they are very handsome, but it is a pity that they are now They all look alike. Nephew and uncle, reported to have had sex in the woods on the night watch. They should have been executed on the spot, but your brother spared them and sent them here. Colonel Stone, you said, Why did your brother give such a shameless prisoner such special treatment? What aroused his sympathy and made him disregard military discipline?"

Allen finally spoke, his voice was so deep that it seemed to come from the abdomen, "They are all good soldiers, and they are famous because they are brave on the battlefield."

The king sneered, "Brave enough to dare to do that disgusting thing with your own paternal blood."

"What would His Majesty want? Make up for that execution? It might not be a bad thing for them." He was referring to their torture in prison, turning two young soldiers into two sick old men.

"Wheeling," said the king.

Thea Kerlins asked Grace in fear what is torture.Grace said she didn't know either.Afraid that the woman would faint, he held her shoulders, but he immediately realized that he was actually leaning on Kailins.He had lost all his strength, and it was Carinth's arm that held him up.

They quickly saw what wheel punishment is.

The huge wheel was laid flat on the ground, and the person was tied up on his back, his hands and feet were fixed on the spokes, and then his limbs were beaten with an iron hammer until all the bones in his body were shattered.If the prisoner is not dead after enduring all these pains, it is a reward to cut off his headache quickly.

Allen was ordered to be the executioner.

Grace saw him squatting down to talk to the prisoner tied to the wheel, combing his dirty and messy hair with his hands, and took out a handkerchief to help him wipe his face; hair, wipe face.

"Who will go first?" he asked the king, rising, as the hammer almost as big as a man's head fell at his feet.

"The colonel has the final say."

Allen squatted down again, said a few words to the two prisoners, then stood up and said, "Captain John Lane comes first."

Grace repeated in her heart: "Captain John Lane."

Allen swung the hammer and hit John Ryan's calf for the first time. The hammer hit the human body with a loud noise, and the immobilized body twitched violently.The onlookers cheered enthusiastically, cheering that the scum in the army, the shameful sodomy and incest, finally received the punishment they deserved.

But John Lane and his lover made no sound.

The second hit hit John Lane's knee. The bones here were slightly brittle, making a different sound than before. Captain Lane's body twitched again, and his lover turned his head to the side with all his might.The cheers were less enthusiastic.

The third stroke is the thigh; the fourth stroke is the thigh, which is the hardest bone in the human body.There was no more cheering, and Sergeant Lane's sobs were heard, but Captain Lane remained silent.

When the fifth shot fell, the whole field was dead silent, only Sergeant Lane's plea: "Please, please..."

His lover said weakly between the gaps of pain, "Charles, don't cry...it's nothing."

Allen swung the hammer again, raised it high, and lowered it again.He lowered his head for panting, then suddenly turned his head and looked at the king standing on a high place.The soldiers followed him to look at the king, and saw a cruel and heartless face.They collectively looked at the person fixed on the wheel again, as if they realized at this moment that these two were once their peers.

The king grimly ordered: "Go on!"

Allen gritted his teeth and glared at him angrily. The hatred in his eyes was too strong, and the king ordered the guards to put the muzzle of the gun on his forehead.

"Continue." The king's voice was full of majesty, and there was a vengeful hatred that others could not understand, "If you don't want to complete this task for your brother, go and call him. Someone has to make up for the mistakes made. "

Grace pushed Kailins and rushed out, but he fell to the ground after taking only a few steps.His eyes were dark, but his ears could still hear.He heard a shot, and the crowd roared, followed by another.

He tried hard to open his eyes and get up from the ground to see what happened over there, but he only seemed to move on the ground twice.

He was lifted up by a pair of warm arms, and his head rested in a soft embrace.

"God! Her forehead is so hot! Your Majesty, this must stop!"

Grace grabbed Kailins by the sleeve and asked her, "Where's Ellen?"

Thea Kerlins replied in tears, "He was taken into custody by the guards."

It's not dead, that's great.Grace fainted.
