Feeling that Maurina’s force gradually increased, Astor could not endure the burning pain.
He hoarsely begged, “Your Highness, please… Please continue.”
At that time, he was not as arrogant and complacent as before.
“Firstly, bring me my mother’s belongings.
Especially her favorite pair of earrings from when she was alive.”
“Sure! Yes! ” Astor hurriedly nodded.
“Secondly, I had a personal maid, Penny.
I knew that from that day onward, she was shunned into the concubine’s palace residence.
Bring her over.
If I go to Astren, I’m bringing her along.”
Although Astor appeared to agree with Maurina’s requests, he secretly thought of an incomparably rancor idea.
Since Maurina taught him a lesson to his heart content, then he would make sure Maurina would never see Penny again.
Astor planned to kill that brat and simply found a reason to evade responsibility.
He could say that Penny was long dead! When that happened, he wanted to see what Maurina would do to him!
Astor secretly felt triumphant as he thought of ways to torture Penny and vent the anger he suffered here.
However, he soon heard Maurina’s footsteps approaching.
“Eunuch Fischer, if I notice a single strand of hair missing from Penny when she returns, then the third request will be your execution.”
Hiss…
Astor instantly gasped, and he felt his heart fall to his stomach.
Maurina could actually see through his mind so quickly!
At this time, Astor felt a sudden pang of pain in his chest.
Then, with a bang, Astor wailed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
His body was like a cannonball, it instantly flew into the air and dropped fast as he hit the wall again.
When he fell to the ground, Astor felt as if his internal organs were ripped apart, and he curled his body into a ball as his face was covered in tears and snots.
In his vague consciousness, Astor heard Maurina’s walking closer.
“Oh, right.
Eunuch Fischer, I don’t want to see you ever again.
Your old face absolutely revolts me.”
“Maurina Montgomery!” Astor clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger.
The resentment in his heart would not be washed away even if one used all the water in the world.
Nonetheless, after some time, Astor slowly released his fist and let out a sigh.
Morries deduced that he could not take revenge for this.
Although Maurina was imprisoned for a year in this frightening hellhole prison, Astor only felt that he was just an ant when he was facing Ishac,
Ishac,
Caspian,
Maurina did not kill him not because he was afraid but because he was lazy.
Initially, Astor thought that he reached the top.
However, the truth was otherwise.
In people’s eyes, he was just as insignificant as before.
At the thought of this, the humiliation that Astor felt at that moment was beyond words.
With a cloak draped around his shoulder, Maurina walked out of the dark hellhole prison’s entrance.
Finally, he could stand under the sun again.
Moreover, he was no longer breathing in the damp and rotten smell but fresh air.
Maurina looked at the sky and squinted.
“Marriage of convenience with Astren? It must be Daisy’s idea.
I captured her capital city, so why’d she save me..? Perhaps she wanted me to owe her a favor?” After pondering for a while, Maurina shook his head and walked downhill.
The carriage waited for him for a long while.
***
The moon hung high, and it was already late at night.
Even though Maurina recovered his title as the prince, the newly crowned prince resided in the Eastern Palace.
Besides, Maurina’s status was somewhat controversial, so he would have to leave the city for Astren as soon as the dawn broke the following day.
