She handled the black witches and was famously known for giving them the brutal death one could ever experience. Following her instructions carefully, the prison guards used to slice the black witch's one hand by first chopping off their fingers... then slicing their arms into pieces. Loud screams used to echo the entire dungeon. Allowing one part to rot for a few days... the guards used to do the same for the other arm. Similarly, by chopping off the legs one by one... they were thrown to rot in pain. Lastly, the guards used a special knife to chop off the black witch's tongue into several small pieces. At their final time... they were burnt alive. Being alive and having no support to protest... only live screams could be heard from them while the fire burnt and turned them into ashes.

Such punishments... won the public's faith and trust in them. They trusted their King and the army.
