Gabriella is now close upon the top of her ascent on the scaffold. Her lithe luscious body is almost completely in full display, and the mob can admire her forms, her perky breasts, her silky skin marked by the deep angry welts of the scourging and all the abuses the has suffered. They all can see her raw flesh where the little pieces of bones and metal of the whip have bitten deep in her skin. The coils of rope around the hurtbeam and her elbows somehow support her weight, but the constant tear on the wounds in her wrists lets her scarlet blood gush out, marking the wooden beam behind her hands or trailing down her forearms to finally drip on the dirty floor. The sharp thorns in her crown have punctured deeply the skin in her forehead, just above her eyebrows, and two slight trails of blood mark, one her temple and her right cheek, the other, the side of her pretty nose and the corner of her mouth. Both converge under her chin, from where droplets of her blood slowly trickle on the ground, bringing with them Gabriella's life. Still another blood trail marks the other side of her beautiful face.
Incongruously, part of the make-up she carefully put on before giving herself to the Romans still remains. As she closes her eyes, and lets out another pitiful scream rise high up in the sky: "aaaAAAAAAAHHHH AAAAHHHHH pppllleeeasseee... have mmmeeercccyAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH", they can see the blue on her painted eyelids, the red lipstick marking the contours of her sultry lips and, in between, her perfect white teeth. The blusher on her cheeks adds a delicate touch of color to her pale skin, and the small earrings at her lobes appear for a second as her blond hair, matted with sperm and blood, lean on her ears.
Skorpio, looking at her from the base of scaffold, feels his cock getting hard again. He cannot avoid admiring her beauty, her body, her elegance even when she his hoisted up on the most terrible instrument of torture ever devised. His thoughts go to a few minutes before, when he, lucky pal, possessed her on the ground, and he took her violently, trying to hurt her and take from her suffering his pleasure. "Surely she will be a terrific show up there" he thinks, "one that the bastards here will remember for long!"
He turns around and shouts: "All hail Gabriella Sivilla, the Queen of Whores, Regina Puttanarum!"
