Chapter 151

 

When Emperor Kazen’s imperial envoy arrived and the strait was transferred to Valdina, the Claudio family was simultaneously released.

 

Both Valdina and Kazen succeeded in achieving their respective demands at an appropriate level.

 

The engagement ceremony with the 4th Princess was also completed swiftly.

 

Samon had clearly survived. He barely restrained himself from bursting into laughter.

 

‘I succeeded! Peleus! You brilliant siblings used so many schemes but still couldn’t kill me in the end! I won!’

 

And before long, his cousins would beat the ground in regret, realizing they should never have let Samon live.

 

Samon turned toward the 4th Princess.

 

Toward his future wife who had completely saved his life—foolish and violent, but possessing powerful authority.

 

“Your Highness the Princess… Thank you. You cannot know how moved I am to become your husband.”

 

He showed her the biggest smile he could manage.

 

Though he had already revealed his true nature, weren’t they still going to be husband and wife?

 

Having already succeeded in crawling into the Princess’s bed once, Samon was confident he could melt her frozen heart.

 

‘All women are the same. If you treat them kindly, they’ll eventually break down their walls and fall for me.’

 

However, the moment Samon reached out his hand, there was a cracking sound.

 

“Gah-!”

 

The Princess, unable to restrain herself, had grabbed a knight’s scabbard beside her and struck him down.

 

Along with intense pain in his back, Samon tumbled to the floor.

 

“How dare a rat like you try to touch me! You, who aren’t even worth the dirt under my toenails, ruined my life.”

 

Caught up in the joy of safely escaping Valdina, he had overlooked how the Princess had been treating him all this time.

 

Her murderous eyes looked as if she wanted to strip the flesh from his bones.

 

‘If I really could, I’d want to kill him.’

 

The 4th Princess suppressed the impulse rising within her as she looked at Samon’s horrified face.

 

“Shouldn’t he at least suffer as much as Your Highness has?”

 

That characteristic calm voice that turned one’s insides upside down rose from her memory.

 

On the day the agreement between the two nations was finalized, the Princess of Valdina had come to see the 4th Princess.

 

“4th Princess, congratulations on your engagement.”

 

“Are you mocking me right now?!”

 

“Of course not. I’m just feeling sorry for you. Since husband and wife share each other’s burdens together, Your Highness will now have to bear Samon’s burdens and infamy as well.”

 

The Princess of Valdina was full of vitality.

 

Unlike herself, who had been suffering all kinds of hardships since coming to Valdina, her transparent skin and clear eyes overflowed with freshness.

 

As she bit her lips and struggled to suppress the rising jealousy, the Princess continued speaking.

 

“Pitifully, Your Highness the 4th Princess has lost everything while Brother Samon has gained nothing but benefits from this engagement. Rather, his troubles have turned into good fortune.”

 

“Enough with the mockery, will you? Right now I could kill anyone… Hah.”

 

The 4th Princess swallowed her angry breath.

 

The Princess’s words were right.

 

While she had become disgustingly entangled with that wretch and lost both her reputation and future as an heir, Samon Claudio had instead gained wings.

 

The Late Emperor’s envoy had pressured her so she couldn’t move, forcing her to accept the engagement with Samon.

 

Even her mother, the Dowager Empress, had sent a letter conveying the Emperor’s anger and begging her not to act impulsively anymore.

 

‘If I kill that bastard, Father will never forgive me now.’

 

She felt like she was going insane. Even screaming every night couldn’t dispel the anger accumulated inside her.

 

As if reading her heart, Medeia gently pointed out.

 

“Your Highness. There’s no need for Your Highness to endure unconditionally. There are various ways to achieve one’s purpose in this world.”

 

The 4th Princess glared at Medeia. Wariness and suspicion filled the Princess’s eyes.

 

“Ha! Do you think I don’t know you’re scheming to use my hands to kill that bastard?”

 

“I won’t deny wanting to eliminate Claudio. But are you saying Your Highness doesn’t feel the same way?”

 

At Medeia’s counter-question asked with a sly smile, the 4th Princess couldn’t deny it.

 

She really did, perhaps even more than the Princess, want to kill that wretch.

 

“His Majesty the Emperor of Kazen said he doesn’t care what method is used as long as Samon remains ‘alive.'”

 

As if reading the Princess’s heart completely, Medeia continued.

 

“The Prince’s mansion has already fallen, and Samon has been demoted to commoner status as well. Moreover, since he used that brilliant head of his to dare corner Your Highness the 4th Princess, who could blame Your Highness for venting your anger a little?”

 

“…”

 

“Your Highness would simply be giving him a bit of suffering instead of taking his life. Shouldn’t Samon experience at least as much pain as Your Highness has?”

 

Medeia glanced at the knights behind the 4th Princess and slightly bent her knee.

 

“You have both the tools and the ability to handle the aftermath, yet Your Highness is too kind-hearted.”

 

“…”

 

“These were just my idle musings, so please don’t pay them too much mind. Well then, farewell.”

 

After Medeia left, the 4th Princess, left alone, thought deeply.

 

Even her long-standing grudge against Medeia faded in color when faced with the root cause that was Samon.

 

‘Right, as long as he doesn’t die, it’s fine, isn’t it?’

 

Father had said he needed Samon’s life as a reason to replace the King of Valdina.

 

‘He has no intention of employing Claudio separately.’

 

Of course, there was no way he’d give another chance to someone so lacking in ability and talent. In that case…

 

“You there, bring me a whip. A wet leather one would be good.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

The Princess’s guard knight hesitated.

 

“What are you doing instead of bringing it?! Tell the guard that Angelique is coming now.”

 

From that day on, the 4th Princess vented her anger on Samon to her heart’s content.

 

While the knights held Samon’s arms so he couldn’t resist, the 4th Princess thoroughly beat everything below his face.

 

So no one knew he was being exposed to merciless violence.

 

“Bring holy water to heal him. Our precious Lord Claudio, who will be my husband, has lost consciousness.”

 

When Samon fainted from the beating, the repetitive act of healing him and then inflicting violence again was almost like torture.

 

The day of the engagement ceremony was no different.

 

“Your Highness, now that things have come to this, let’s forget the old grudges and together we…”

 

Samon’s efforts to somehow improve their relationship didn’t reach the 4th Princess at all, but rather only provoked her anger.

 

“Forget? You might easily forget this small country, but what I lost was a great empire. I! Lost the throne because I was held back by a wretch like you!”

 

“Urgh!”

 

The Princess, filled with rage, wildly swung her whip.

 

‘That throne was never yours to sit on in the first place anyway!’

 

Samon hadn’t expected the 4th Princess to show him no mercy even in front of everyone here.

 

But what tormented Samon more than the pain striking his body was showing everyone how he was being beaten like a dog by the Princess.

 

“…”

 

The Regent shrank back, wondering if he too would be beaten while watching the 4th Princess’s brutal violence. Rather, it was Catherine who bravely stepped forward.

 

“Aah! Stop! My son!”

 

She rushed forward and embraced her son’s shoulders. Then she shouted at the Princess.

 

“Your Highness the Princess! Samon is now Your Highness’s husband! How can you do this? Does the Kazen Royal Family have no laws?!”

 

“The dogs are barking in packs. Give them a lesson together.”

 

The 4th Princess coldly ordered the knights. The beating that had paused briefly continued.

 

“Aah! No! Aaaah!”

 

Catherine had to be beaten together while holding Samon in her arms.

 

“Y-Your Highness. With so many people watching, perhaps you could do this a bit later…”

 

While he didn’t care about Samon, who was the Regent’s son, Count Raju couldn’t bear to see his lover get hurt and tried to dissuade the 4th Princess.

 

Smack-!

 

But making his courage meaningless, he too was immediately slapped by the 4th Princess.

 

“You shut up and get out of the way.”
