The execution of the princess could resolve quite a few issues for the empire.  0

Most important of all, it could temporarily alleviate the anger of the masses seeking a scapegoat. It could also redirect the anger that was now being directed at the Church of the Five Great Gods, thus diverting the negative focus away from the Church.  0

The vassal states, unaware of the truth behind the Gate Incident, also distrusted the empire for shielding the princess who had been cursed by the Demon King. Executing the princess could resolve this distrust as well.  0

With this, the imperial family could remove all suspicion that they were somehow involved with the Demon King and protecting the princess because of it.0

The execution of Charlotte de Gradias would not solve anything about the reality of the world, but it could resolve the political issues plaguing the empire.  0

Of course, that too would only be a temporary measure.  0

Ultimately, since the embodiment of hatred, the Demon King, had not been destroyed, these issues could only be temporarily patched up, and were bound to fester and burst open again.0

In the end, even if the empire actually executed the princess, it would only be a stalling tactic.  0

It might merely postpone the empire’s collapse and downfall. The divisions within the empire and its subsequent downfall could be inevitable.  0

The only one in the empire who knew the true intentions behind this event was the emperor.  0

People were merely excited about the execution of the Demon King’s two subordinates along with the princess, and had no clue about the true intentions...0
