Due to very daring antics, as well as being accused of practicing witchcraft and service to the Devil, Karina is once again caught, and then sentenced to death by hanging. She stands on a wooden platform with a noose around her neck. However, she was granted the right to have the last word before being hanged for the amusement of a crowd of rubbernecks.

“The final words of Carina Smyth...Quiet!” Smyth broke her voice and proudly straightened her back and snorted as the square fell into complete silence. “The final words of Carina Smyth...Good sirs, I'm not a witch but I forgive your common dim witlessness and feeble brains. In short, most of you have the mind of a goat.”

Among this crowd were two men dressed in musketeer uniforms. They were Athos and D'artagnan. Their road lay just across the square where the execution of the young woman of science took place.

Although both Musketeers were not fans of public executions, especially in relation to young and pretty maidens, this devil in a sky-blue dress was still able to keep both of them in place in order to find out what would happen to her next.

The young Gascon felt a surge of indignation from hearing the maiden's appeal to all those gathered at the site of her future death.

“No wonder she has fallen under the noose at such a young age.”  The brown-haired man shook his head with a reproach, barely restrained his desire to get to that charming upstart and express everything he thinks about her manners. 

But as soon as he took a step towards Smyth, the Athos’ hand immediately slowed him down. He watched the whole show incessantly.

“Don't tell me, Athos, that you have nothing against her words.”

“But I am more against about you to have a fatuous arguement with her. In the end you just put yourself in an even more ridiculous position.”  The blonde exhaled softly and remained completely unperturbed. 

However, his faintly perceptible smile hinted at his whole attitude to this parade of absurdity with a blue-eyed girl on the platform in the lead.

“But there’s no any noose around my neck, my friend ... But the Lord will be true for me if I say that this little devil is clearly too good to die like this. What do you think, Athos?” The Gascon's gaze became more piercing and even burning from inside, so he continued to watch Karina relentlessly.

“I’ll just say that she is clearly too smart and proud to die.”  Meanwhile Athos was also staring at the brunette, but in his eyes there was a clear desire to understand this strange female. He seemed to try to catch the course of her very willful thoughts, and managed to involuntarily find in this something truly special and even alluring.

“Are you thinking about the same thing that I am?”  D'artagnan stood on the right shoulder of Athos, looking at his profile with his smile, which clearly showed a desire to do something both terribly stupid and terribly right. His head was tilted slightly to the side in curiosity.

Meanwhile my last brain cells:
