The Commoner Consort: The Country’s Respected Empress - Chapter 148
Xavier’s jaw clenched ‘He didn’t come here, did he?’.
Even though some people praised Crown Prince for this harsh punishment against these three, many of them couldn’t help get irked.
“How can Our Crown Prince kill our own people for the sake of a stranger?! She doesn’t even belong to our country!”
“Yes! Moreover she was just a commoner before!”
“How could she even behave like a Born Princess! She must have manipulated Our Highnesses!”.
“Indeed! I heard she has a clever mind! Last time she even instigated against one ot The Royals!”.
Many of them are talking bad about Maya as if she was the one who planned this.
Xavier gets irked and stands helplessly without speaking anything. He didn’t support Royals whenever they act selfishly against people. But hearing these heartless words coming from those people he couldn’t help grit his teeth bitterly.
‘Brainless! As always! Did they even lose their hearts now?!’
If he steps in even after Kalki’s warning, now, then Kalki would do something or worse he can exile her!
He could only root to Maya’s kindness at this point. He doesn’t want anyone to curse her!
He couldn’t help smile at her at this thought ‘She is here to stop this and she will…’

Victor greets hearing the horse nearing and can be seen anytime “Long live Our Crown Prince -“.
SILENCE!
Everyone stands speechless “….” Is that a lady?!
Victor “…”
Xavier gets surprised “…”
Maya arrives at The Main Street shocking every single person in astonishment!
Not even Kalki was left out from getting astounded.
Maya hops down from Eros and looks around the crowd nervously.
The people who have never seen Maya before stares at the young lady who just entered the place majestically on their Crown Prince’s horse!
Or her entry on The majestic Eros could have made them even more astounded!
“Long Live The Queen of The Northern Realm!”
Before they could guess her identity, Victor’s greeting brought everyone of them to their knees at once!
THUD!
“Long Live Our Queen!”.
Maya clears her throat inaudibly before speaking confidently “Everyone may raise”.
She walks ahead with her head high towards the Podium, on which three people were tied and made kneeled.
Firstly, the official who mocked and disrespected her. Then, Christopher who hurt her and finally Luke, who has never done anything to her!
The people starts whispering in surprise.
“Is she Our Queen?!”
“Didn’t everyone say she was a mere commoner before coming to our country?! Her elegance tells otherwise!”
“Look! She is beautiful too!”
“No wonder Our Crown Prince dots on her!”
Maya starts climbing the stairs of Podium and looks at Victor with a genuine smile.
‘First, he advised me for my well being and last time, he even allowed me to witness the war. I hope he helps me today’.
Luke whispers in fear to himself which didn’t go unheard by Maya “Please save me! I didn’t do anything!”
It sounded to weak as if he is tired of saying it already.
Other two were so proud to even utter any words. Or they are still too confident that someone would save them!
Xavier smiles as Maya would be impulsive enough already and try to stop everything happening and make the people’s bad thinking wrong!
Victor bows at Maya “Your Highness!”.
Maya takes a look at the way she arrived before and sighs ‘Robin should be here anytime soon’
With a deep breath she smirks and asks looking around “Are you aware of their crimes, Sir?”.
Victor bows respectfully “Yes, Your Highness! We have already investigated about these criminal’s crime! This servant wouldn’t dare to let them to slip away. They will face the consequences of looking down on Our Highness’s respect!”.
People whispers and nods agreeing Victor’s words.
Even though some people was not happy with this, they could only remain silent as Their Queen paid a personal visit to witness this cold blooded punishment!
Maya purses her lips staring at the way still waiting for Robin and speaks “Then, I don’t have anything to explain. Since, these people are already here to witness this. Why don’t I join?”.
Victor smiles satisfied and nods “As Her Highness wishes….”.
‘I feared whether she might make a mistake by interrupting Crown Prince’s order or let herself down by requesting! She is clever enough to step away from these issues..’
Poor did he know?! She is too clever and decided to create a drama already! Just to drag some time. She really believes that Emperor will help her! Or she is too confident on her plan!
Xavier sucks in a sharp breath as couldn’t believe his ears and stares at Maya displeased.
‘Is she heartless?! I know she too can’t go against Xander but she could have tried! For humanity’s sake! Even if she doesn’t succeeds, she could have gained a good image in front of these accusing people’
Hearing Maya’s words people could only bitterly sigh.
But few of them who had rebellious thoughts frowned hearing her meaningful words!
‘Is she saying..that she is helpless to witness this as we already accepted this punishment to happen?! Is she telling us to stop this instead?! It can’t be…’
‘How would her words have such provocative meaning?! She must have told them without any deep meaning!’.
They could only assume everything… As words uttered can be interpreted in different ways according to the spectators thoughts!
Xavier’s heart took a blow, as he creases his eyebrows for a moment ‘Is she really here to see them die?! And how can she be so calm?!’
He somewhat felt this calmness familiar and grits his teeth.
‘Just like Xander!’
Victor takes his huge sword and walks to a corner of the Podium. He returns again speaking few words for justifying this punishment again.
He finally speaks approaching the official who is going to be executed first “People of The Northern Realm! Here we are! Witnessing the end of a betrayer!-“.
Victor’s raised sword, was stopped in mid-air by a small hand.
Victor “..”
People “…”
Xavier’s face spread a devilish smile “…” That’s my Lady!
