The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 4774

"Zack!"

Shannon could hardly contain her anger then, glowering at Zack. "How dare you commit such treason, lying to the people and trying to steal the throne. You'll pay for this."

"Heh heh…" Zack's expression was completely smug. He stumbled forward a few steps, whispering by Shannon's ear. "None of that matters, Shannon Long. You're not the Empress anymore, and the entire royal city is under my control. Plus, no one's going to believe that you're the Empress anymore anyways. All they'll treat you as is nothing more than one of the Carters. It's fate if you ask me, ha ha…"

As he laughed, Zack's expression grew cold. "Throw them into the dungeon, and hold a public execution in three days."

"Yes!"

At the order, the guards quickened their steps, escorting Shannon and Ambrose into the dungeon.

A few minutes later, in the dungeon.

Shannon and Ambrose sat with their heads hung in defeat in the cell, not speaking to each other at all.

The tension was positively palpable.

"You…"

Just then, Shannon hesitated before opening her mouth to speak. "You're fine, right?" She figured that he must have been hurt pretty badly by the attack from the black kylin just now.

Ambrose's expression was completely unbothered. "I'm alright. Just a little injury, I'll be fine in a day."

As he spoke, Ambrose was unable to hide his anger. "This Zack is real cunning, how dare he attack me from behind."

"It's all my fault!"

Shannon's expression was nothing but apologetic. "We would've never been caught if it hadn't been for my stubbornness. I'm sorry, it's my fault ths happened to you."

Ambrose smiled, shaking his head. "It's alright. There's no use saying anything further at this point. But don't worry— what happened today will reach the Carters before you know it, and Uncle Chester as well as Uncle Dax will know what happened. They'll be here to get us out before you know it."

Alright!

At the words, Shannon nodded her head. Yet her emotions went into a dilemma. She had defeated the Carters along with her army several times— would they still come to her aid at a time like this?

"Oh, right!"

Just then, a thought seemed to come to Ambrose as he asked curiously, "I heard there's been a group of pirates running wild out at sea, and they've wreaked havoc and chaos onto countless citizens. What's up with that? Who are these guys, really?"
