On the day of the execution, the crowd had expected four executions but witness only that of Dunol. As Dunol lay dying, a cry comes out from the balcony on the Tower of Alfric where Alfrega witnesses executions. There is a struggle with an assailant, who leaps off the balcony after guards come to the defense of the Queen. The assailant, Harlune, lands on execution platform, where the remains of Dunol lay strewn about, throws back his hood and proclaims, "The time has come for the Mad Queen to be thrown down!" then disappears into the crowd.[7] |
