Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 379

The mere thought of it pushed Daphne Solano to the brink of a breakdown, her stunning features twisting into a mask of pure, unadulterated jealousy.

So, after risking Lucian Jagger's absolute disgust and going to such extreme lengths, everything she had done only ended up paving the way for Willow's victory?

The sheer agony of that realization was immeasurable, leaving her trembling from head to toe.

Upon hearing the commotion, Willow's gaze drifted over to Daphne.

A moment later, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Earlier, while hiding in the garden utility shed of The Rose Garden Conservatory, Willow couldn't see the outside world, but she had pieced together the situation based on their voices.

King Alaric hadn't even had the heart to punish Daphne!

Logically, Daphne should have been completely unharmed by now, yet the sight before her completely shattered Willow's expectations.

Daphne's extravagant royal gown had been whipped into tatters, her exposed skin marred by brutal lash marks, and even her beautiful face sported a fresh, jagged gash that made her look entirely unhinged.

It seemed Daphne had suffered quite a bit over the past few hours.

Seeing the pity in Willow's eyes, Daphne nearly lost her mind.

What did Willow mean by that look? Was she intentionally mocking her?

Heaven knew how devastated she felt!

Who on earth was framing her? No matter how desperately she explained herself, her father refused to believe her, even resorting to torture to force a confession!

When had she ever suffered such torment in her entire life?

Right now, she was terrified and in agony. She hadn't even secured the prize she wanted, yet she had already paid an unimaginable price.
