Hearing this, Martha knew that Catherine would threaten her with Stefan, so she would do her best to save Stefan and let him live.
Catherine seemed to read Martha mind, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will try my best to treat him, and I won't let him die here. After all, you will be obedient only if he is alive."
Martha pursed her lips tightly, and unconsciously tightened the hand at her side, and remained silent.
Seeing her like this, Catherine smiled even brighter-
"Three days later, as long as you marry King Ducasse obediently, you will regain your freedom, and your ex-husband will leave this dark room safely."
"Remember, don't play tricks on me."
Martha looked at Catherine lightly, without any emotion in her eyes.
Catherine was the most powerful woman in Z Country. How could Martha outsmart her?
Catherine smiled in satisfaction, and waved for the two guards standing not far away to step forward.
"Take her to the west wing of my bedroom, and let her live there."
"Yes."
The two guards stepped forward, responded respectfully, went forward to untie the rope for Martha, and dragged Martha out of the underground dark room.
When Martha heard this, she knew that Catherine had locked her in her own bedroom in this means.
After Martha was taken out of the dark room, Catherine slowly walked to the other side of the dark room with a smirk on her face.
Stefan was tied to the pillar with a pale complexion, his eyes were closed tightly, and his breathing became uneven.
Catherine's eyes turned cold, and she turned to look at the guard standing aside with a sly smile, "Let him wake up."
"Yes."
The guard responded respectfully, turned and left the dark room.
The guard who left quickly returned to the dark room with a bucket of water, and immediately raised his hand and splashed the whole bucket of water on Stefan's body.
The cold water splashed on Stefan's body, making the man feel like falling into an ice cave, and his tired eyes slowly opened.
After Stefan shivered all over, he looked at the woman in front of him with gloomy eyes.
He did not see Martha who was tied across from him; hence he guessed he might have left.
He knew that Martha should have agreed to Catherine's request, otherwise Martha would not have left here.
Catherine stood on the steps in front of her, looking at the man in a state of embarrassment in front of her, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.
Her sneer sounded in the dark room, making it look extraordinarily gloomy.
"You don't know it yet, just now Martha has agreed to marry King Ducasse, and the wedding is three days away."
"What did you say?"
Stefan looked up in shock at Catherine standing before him.
He didn't expect that Martha agreed to marry King Ducasse.
Before he could react, Catherine spoke again-
"I told you so. No woman can resist the temptation of money and status? Look, in the end, she chose to be the queen!"
She looked at Stefan in front of her with a sneer, intending to sow discords between Martha and Stefan.
But after Stefan heard this, he immediately retorted sharply, "Impossible, you forced her."
Catherine must have forced Martha to agree in threatening ways.
If he hadn't been tortured at that time, how could Martha have agreed to marry King Ducasse?
At this moment, Stefan could clearly feel the sharp pain in his heart, which hurt so much that he felt it hard to breathe.
He struggled vigorously, but with wounds all over his body, his body hurt even more when struggling.
His hand moved violently to break free from restraints when he bore the pain.
Helplessly, he was tied by iron chains, with injuries all over, he had no strength to break free at all.
In the end, Stefan lowered his head weakly, his thin lips were tightly pursed into a line, and his eyes were full of despair.
He still couldn't protect her.
Seeing this scene, Catherine smiled even more contemptuously.
"For such a woman, is it worth it?"
Stefan looked at Catherine in front of him with gloomy eyes, his eyes were as cold as ice, and Catherine's body froze.
Soon Catherine came back to her senses, and took a step forward mockingly.
"Do you think she really likes you that much? She actually likes my son, or why would she choose to marry my son?"
Stefan tightened his hand at his side, and retorted coldly, "Impossible!"
She wasn't that sort of person, and if it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have chosen to marry King Ducasse.
At this moment, Stefan began to have some regrets in his heart, and he became Martha's burden by staying.
After hearing the man's rebuttal, Catherine smiled even brighter.
Her eyes and her voice was full of sarcasm, "My son is the king of Z Country, marrying him will allow her to enjoy wealth and status."
"But what about you? You don't have anything, how could she fall in love with you?"
After Catherine said this, she took a step forward with a sneer, and then continued-
"Actually, Martha just pretended to be affectionate with you at the beginning and played with you. Who knew that you were so stupid that you were played by a woman."
Hearing this, Stefan sneered and retorted-
"If Martha is such a woman, then your son is such an idiot, being played by a woman."
Catherine's face darkened when she heard this, her red lips were tightly pursed and she didn't speak.
She looked at the man in front of her with gloomy eyes, wishing she could strangle him to death immediately!
