A tearful farewell between the prince and the commoner. The prince

A tearful farewell between the prince and the commoner. The prince, now back from his duty, is depicted rushing into the execution ground, his face filled with desperation as he sees the commoner bound and on his knees before a block. The commoner, though terrified, looks back at the prince with a small, bittersweet smile, accepting his fate. The executioner stands ready, sword raised, while the prince reaches out in vain. The background is filled with a small, cold crowd, watching the tragic event unfold, with the emperor's figure barely visible, overseeing the scene from afar.
