Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 477

Chapter 477: Twisted Like Aldric

Islinda witnessed the moment when Aldric made up his mind and swallowed nervously. Today would be her last day on earth, which should have filled her with despair, but instead she was filled with anticipation to put an end to Aldric’s tyranny. Even if she didn’t win, she would die happily knowing she had put up quite a fight.

"You ungrateful little human!" Aldric snarled, his eyes filled with rage. He said, "Is this how you repay me for everything I have done for you?"

"No," Islinda shook her head, "You said it earlier, this was not for me, but for you! It’s for you to show off your authority and rule over your household with fear. Unfortunately, you should know that ruling with an iron fist doesn’t mean you will gain their respect. Fear does not beget respect, you have to earn it!"

He shouted, "She called you a whore!"

"Everyone calls me a whore!" Islinda screamed back at him, "I slept with Valerie and apparently with you-know-who. What were you expecting them to do? Congratulate me? Just a heads-up, Aldric, you cannot control what people think about you!"

"But you fought with her, didn’t you? Isn’t that a little hypocritical to judge me for punishing her when you fought with her?"

"Because I was angry and reacted emotionally. However, now that I have calmed down, I don’t want this anymore. But you? You are intentionally punishing her and if I’m not mistaken, you seem to be enjoying it. By the gods, you are acting like the monster they call Aldric!"

Aldric froze.

Islinda swallowed, breathing heavily. Perhaps she shouldn’t have said that. She studied his inscrutable expression, uncertain of what would come next.

He smiled icily, "Maybe, I am a monster after all. You just don’t want to admit it."

"What?"

He turned to face Sura, who had been catching her breath from the paused torture. It suddenly dawned on Islinda what Aldric was about to do.

"No, Aldric!" Islinda shouted, but it was too late.
