When the woman heard this, she immediately looked up and looked across the soundproof wall.
The guard had stopped beating Stefan, and next to Stefan appeared a wood plate covered with silver needles.
The silver needles on it were thin and long, which look very dazzling under the light.
After seeing Martha's slightly constricted eyes, Catherine unconsciously showed a smug smile.
"Well, tell me, do you want to marry my son?"
Martha's red lips were tightly pursed, and she still didn't want to say that she was going to marry King Ducasse and become a queen.
Catherine smiled mockingly, and waved her hand to the guard not far away.
Soon the mechanism on the wooden plate was activated by a guard, and the wooden plate began to approach Stefan slowly, and finally plunged into Stefan's body slowly.
Stefan felt the pain coming from his body, and he groaned unconsciously, but he still endured the pain in his body.
However, the tingling sensation from the body still made Stefan's face turn pale.
Martha, who was tied up opposite, saw this scene, and her heart ached.
She knew that it must be very painful, but Stefan didn't want to let himself succumb, so he kept enduring it.
But how could she bear to watch him suffer like this...
The pain in Martha's heart spread all over her body, making it hard for her to even breathe.
Catherine still didn't hear Martha's answer, stepped forward with a sneer, and whispered into Martha's ear-
"If these silver needles are completely pierced into his body, then his internal organs will be pierced. At that time, your ex-husband will undoubtedly die."
Martha's pupils shrank, looking at the silver needles that gradually stabbed into Stefan's body, she felt extremely heartbroken.
So many needles pierced into his body at the same time.
But he had been holding back, not allowing himself to cry out.
She couldn't even imagine the pain Stefan was bearing, afraid of breaking down.
Martha kept watching Stefan's every move closely with red eyes, and knew that all that Stefan endured was to prevent her from marrying someone else.
But... Catherine Queen Dowager will not let them go!
At this time, Stefan, who was tied to the opposite pillar, seemed to have sensed Martha's thoughts, and kept holding back, showing a helpless smile to Martha.
He smiled and shook his head at her, as if telling her silently not to give in or blackmailed because of him.
Yet, for Martha, Stefan's life was the priority.
Finally, Martha finally nodded.
She had to agree to Catherine's request, and if she didn't agree, Stefan would definitely die here.
Martha knew that Catherine was not a good person, and Catherine might not keep her promise, but she really couldn't sit by and watch Stefan die like this.
After seeing Martha's nod, Catherine showed a satisfied smile and raised her hand slightly to the guard.
Soon, the guard over there received Catherine's order, reached out and pressed the pause button.
After the mechanism stopped, Stefan's eyes slowly lost focus, and he finally lost consciousness.
At this time, Catherine, after hearing the satisfactory answer, smiled brightly, and stepped forward kindly, wiping the tears from the corners of Martha's eyes-
"Why are you crying? You should be happy that you are about to become a queen."
Martha stared blankly in Stefan's direction, her eyes slowly losing focus, like a soulless doll.
She was still going to marry King Ducasse...
Seeing Martha like this, Catherine smiled even more complacently, stretched out her hand to slightly lift Martha's chin and gently reminded-
"Don't cry or your eyes would be swollen. The wedding ceremony between you and King Ducasse will be held in three days. The woman our king will marry should be the most beautiful woman in Z Country."
Martha turned away, looking at Catherine with a look of horror in her eyes.
This woman was really scary.
And after this incident, Martha was even more sure that her mother's death must have something to do with Catherine.
Yet not she had to obey Catherine to marry King Ducasse because she couldn't let Stefan die.
Catherine was targeting against her, and how could Stefan bear this for her?
Thinking of this, Martha only felt that tears well up in her eyes, closed them and tears immediately flowed down from the corners of her eyes.
After Catherine saw it, she felt very happy.
She curled her lips and smiled softly, her voice was soft and gentle, "Why are you crying? Don't be afraid. I will not let your ex-husband die before you marry my son."
She managed to know Martha's weakness, and she would not let that man die so easily.
She would inflict the pain that that bitch Elsie brought her on Elsie's daughter and made Elsie's daughter's life miserable!
