While everyone was resting, agonized screams echoed from the dungeon of Imperial Beast City. Xandros was bound tightly, and Ivasha lashed at him repeatedly with a whip in her hands..
Ivasha harbored a deep-seated hatred for Xandros, so she decided to seize that opportunity to exact her revenge.
Xandros let out continuous anguished cries, but he was trapped in a place where no one would offer him any assistance.
“Please, stop hitting me. I beg you,” he pleaded with Ivasha desperately. Unfortunately, Ivasha remained unfazed, continuing to swing the whip she wielded. In the end, she even brandished a dagger.
At that sight, Xandros was scared out of his wits. Terror-stricken, he threatened Ivasha loudly, “W- What are you going to do? I’m telling you, if you kill me, the entire Imperial Beast City will perish alongside me!”
“Don’t worry. I won’t kill you. Killing you just like that would be too merciful.”
Taking in the sinister smile on Ivasha’s countenance, Xandros trembled all over. Holding the dagger, she slowly approached Xandros. A cold gleam flitted across her eyes as she stabbed Xandros’ groin with the dagger in one swift motion.
“Ahh!” Xandros howled, and blood instantly flowed down his legs, soaking his trousers. The intense pain caused Xandros to pass out at once.
Only after seeing him faint did Ivasha leave in contentment. Now, Xandros will never be a man again in this lifetime! Meanwhile, in a grand military tent within Norwal City’s army, Lucian was sound asleep when Remus woke him up.
“What’s the matter? Why did you wake me up in the middle of the night?” Lucian asked in displeasure. If someone else had roused him from his slumber so late in the night, he would’ve lost his temper. However, at the sight of Remus, Lucian managed to retain a semblance of politeness.
“King Lucian, Mr. Xandros…” Remus was visibly anxious, unsure of how to break the news.
“Has Xandros gotten himself into trouble? Did he bring a few women into the tent to mess around again? I’ve warned him time and time again not to engage in such activities in the tent now that we are at war. His action will have detrimental effects on the troop morale, but he refuses to heed my advice.”
