After several days of calm, the castle was still at peace. Massimo was deep in scheming for the completion of his great ambition. He continually basked in the joy of his imagined kingship, plotting the removal of the last duke, after which he believed there would be no obstacles in his path. At that time, he envisioned, the entire family would swear fealty to him. Laura stared at her pale reflection in the mirror, then down at her once delicate hands, now tortured and disfigured. She felt a profound sense of pity for herself. If only it weren't for Massimo, she wouldn't be in this state. Everything that had happened was his doing, and sooner or later, she vowed, he would suffer as she had. Ned took Laura's small hand and kissed it gently. "Even after all this torture, your hands are still so beautiful. I truly love them." "You're the only one who thinks so now," Laura said with a resigned smile. "There's just one left. What's your next move?" "The last one. I want to give your fami
In the town, a ragged madwoman appeared, shouting incessantly, "My husband has returned, he's coming to fetch me. Have you seen my husband?"After the death of Duke Page, the Duchess lost her status, her family fell apart, and she was reduced to begging for food. Her hair was disheveled by other beggars, and it seemed that witnessing the death of Duke Page was too much for her to bear, transforming her into this sorry state.Massimo, upon hearing that the Duchess had become a madwoman, ordered his guards to bring her back to the palace.Grabbing the Duchess's face, Massimo said in a low voice, "I know your husband is dead and it's hard for you to accept. But don't embarrass me in public. Do you want the whole town to laugh at our family?"The Duchess recoiled in horror, "My husband, my
As the clansmen fled the castle in droves, Massimo shouted, "Hey, you foolish people, I am your chieftain. Can you recognize the current situation?""We don't recognize you now, you scum. The family is ruined in your hands. I think the cursed one is you. You've implicated us and don't even know it.""I'll show you who your king is," Massimo laughed."You should really see what a chief is like. You said I was useless, didn't you? Let me show you."The scepter in Massimo's hand had been transformed into a large sword that could chop people. It instantly became a sword with just the press of a button.It turned out that there was a hidden room in Massimo's chamber, filled with weapon modification tools. He had ignored his clansmen, but he had been dedicated to transforming himself. He had been pondering how to become powerful.His initial plan was to use this sword to personally kill the four dukes, but unexpectedly, they died mysteriously, leaving the sword useless. He never imagined th
In the palace, Massimo was left alone, gazing at the vast emptiness. A crisp clap of hands rang out."My father, you are truly valiant. You have slain the entire Legoza family. I never expected such greatness from you.""I just didn't expect you to still be alive.""What, are you disappointed that I'm alive? Aren't you only left with me and my sister now?""So, my dear daughter, you and your sister should assist me in reviving the Legoza family.""Hahaha, are you joking? How can we revive them when there's no one left?""What's so difficult about that?" Massimo, the monster, walked over to Laura and circled her."As long as my bloodline continues, the family will be revived. You and your sister will continue to bear the hope of our Legoza family for me.""You haven't changed a bit. You're still as disgusting as ever.""Who are you talking to? Have I been too indulgent with you?" Massimo grabbed Laura by the neck, furious.Laura struggled for breath, slapping at his hand."You... remem
The next morning, Laura woke up feeling the stuffiness of her room and decided to take a stroll through the castle.As she traced the bricks and mortar, she saw traces of her and her mother. Her eyes seemed to see her six-year-old self running past, through a long corridor where she once ran to find her mother. Following this shadow, she walked and walked until she stopped at a room and knocked on the door.After a moment, her mother slowly opened the door, revealing only her body and hiding the interior from Laura's view.Peering through the crack, Laura could only see darkness, but she noticed a trickle of blood at the corner of her mother's mouth. Innocently, she asked, "Mother, what's that on your mouth?""It's just strawberry jam, dear Laura," her mother replied.Laura believed it was strawberry jam and reached out to her mother for some."Laura, let's go to the kitchen to get some, shall we?""No, no, I want what you just had. Mother, I want to go inside and play for a while. Pl
"Hey handsome, I have a crush on you. I fell head over heels for you the moment I laid eyes on you. You're unforgettable. I'd give my all to you." "We just met, right?" "As soon as you were gone, I couldn't shake the feeling of missing you. So, I dolled myself up especially for you. Do you approve?" "Not too shabby, quite good, I approve." Ned found her repulsive, but he played along without a second thought. Who would expect an aristocratic lady, violated by her own father, to seek solace in another man's arms? She had indeed inherited her father's perversions. But for the sake of his plan, he had to play along. Besides, he had felt nothing when he was with Laura. He wanted to experience a different body. Ned unzipped Kathy and slowly peeled off her clothes, revealing her body to his gaze. However, he felt no arousal. He roughly thrust his massive penis into her tight opening. Kathy had never experienced something so large entering her body. It was excruciatingly painful at fir
Laura shut the door behind her, slowly sliding down its surface until she hit the floor. Hugging her legs tightly, her gaze was vacant and unfocused.She struggled to articulate how she felt about Ned. But every time she pictured Kathy entwined with him, an ineffable ache filled her chest. It hurt, in a way that made her want to curl up and disappear.Fresh from the throes of missing her mother, Laura now had to grapple with the agony of betrayal. She felt as if the universe was conspiring against her, dealing her one blow after another. The idea of Ned leaving was almost too much to bear.As she sat on the floor, memories of them together flooded back. Ned, gnawing gently on her arm at night, his eyes darting up to meet hers every so often, checking if she was okay. When her complexion paled, he'd immediately stop, allowing her to tend to the small wounds herself.Afterward, they'd gaze out the window together, watching the moon hang low in the sky. Laura would think of her mother th
Ned and Kathy were entangled in a secret affair, their bodies intertwined on the bed."Is this comfortable for you?" Ned pressed against Kathy, his breath coming out in heavy pants."You feel so good," Kathy gazed up at him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and leaning in for a kiss.Ned turned his head away, "Kathy, you're crossing a line. I told you, I don't kiss. Just enjoy what we're doing."Kathy stiffened at his words, but continued to savor the moment."Deeper, harder, it feels incredible," she moaned, matching her movements to Ned's desires."You're such a tease," Ned growled, thrusting into her with more force. Still, it wasn't enough for her."Faster, harder, I'm almost there," Kathy cried out."Ah, that's it, keep going," she urged herself on.Ned's excitement mounted at her cries, and he gave it everything he had."Come inside me," Kathy begged."You're incredible," Ned gasped. "I'll make you feel good."Moments later, Ned let out a low groan, his body shaking as
Years later, as the sun cast its golden rays over the peaceful countryside, Ned and Laura sat on their porch, looking out over their lush garden. Their hair was now white with age, but their eyes still sparkled with the same mischievous glint as in their younger days.Laura tended to the flowers while Ned tinkered with a small device, his mind still filled with ideas and inventions. They had grown old together, side by side, and their love had only deepened with time.One day, a young boy appeared at their cottage. He introduced himself as a descendant of one of their old friends and said that he had come to seek their wisdom. The boy, named Alex, was a curious and adventurous soul, and he wanted to know more about the legendary heroes who had saved the kingdom.Laura and Ned smiled at the youngster's enthusiasm. They invited him to stay and share their stories, their experiences, and the wisdom they had gained over the years. Alex was eager to learn, and he listened intently as they
Leo spoke up to Halen, "Prince Halen, something this bizarre must be caused by some kind of supernatural force. I've heard of a similar incident happening in a kingdom to the east."Upon hearing Leo's words, Halen's eyes lit up, and he called Leo close to him, eager to hear more.Leo began to speak in a measured tone, "Prince Halen, it is rumored that a curse was placed on the head of the patriarch of that family, causing a series of strange events that ultimately led to the deaths of all its members."Halen was taken aback and asked, "Do you know who the patriarch of that family was?""I've heard rumors that his name was Massimo Legoza!" Leo replied.Halen's eyes widened in surprise, "What! How could it be him?"Seeing Halen's reaction, Leo pretended to be oblivious and asked, "Why, Prince Halen, do you know him?""He's the Duke of our family. I never knew he was once the patriarch of a family," Halen said, sounding alarmed.Leo feigned concern, "Oh, Prince Halen, then you must be ca
The guard hurriedly entered the study to report. "King, something terrible has happened. The Queen... The Queen is gone.""What?" King Naumes stumbled slightly, his face registering disbelief."King, the Queen is dead," the guard said tremulously, afraid of the king's anger."What! Impossible! My mother was fine. How could she be dead? You stupid guard, shut your mouth!" Halen looked incredulous, contradicting the servant and kicking him to the ground.King Naumes pointed at the guard, his voice trembling. "Where is the Queen? Tell me where she is!""King, she's at the castle gate. The doctor believes she fell from the terrace," the guard said.King Naumes rushed to the castle gate, his heart pounding. He saw the Queen's closed eyes and the blood staining her lips, her blood soaking into the ground.The king embraced the queen, shaking her body and calling her name desperately. But she wouldn't respond to him like she used to, and the king howled in despair."Why? Why?" The king, who
Ned gently placed the handkerchief back over Laura's face and patiently explained, "If you don't wear this, Massimo will recognize you instantly when you come across him. It will be difficult to carry out our revenge then."Laura found Ned's words reasonable and didn't protest further.That evening, Ned and Laura were standing on the top floor of the castle, admiring the view. "Laura, what do you think we should do now?" Ned knew that with Massimo's return, Laura would be eager to take the next step."It's time we create something interesting to celebrate Massimo's return," Laura said with a glint in her eye.Ned understood Laura's intention and asked, "Who do you want to be the first to initiate this?""Of course, it should be our esteemed First Prince. I want him to go down and fetch washing water for my sister
Nevin slowly approached Laura and placed his hands around her waist. "Could you be my princess consort, replacing the previous one?" he asked. Laura felt a sense of disgust as she heard this. She almost pushed him away, but then she thought that being close to the prince might provide an opportunity to exact revenge on the princess consort. So she pretended to be bashful and remained silent.To Nevin, Laura's silence seemed like acquiescence. He continued, "Alright, then from now on, you will maintain the schedule of the previous princess consort and take her place. You won't have to do any cleaning; I'll have the servants do it for you."Just as he finished speaking, Halen walked in and applauded, saying, "Brother, you're really in high spirits! The princess consort has just left, and you're already cozying up to her servant." Laura, sensing Halen's arrival, discreetly made her way out, but lingered near the door.
The knife pierced through the princess's body, and she slowly collapsed to the ground.Everyone was horrified by the princess's actions. In the distance, Ned watched the scene with a smile."This family is really interesting," he said.Nevin's eyes widened as he watched the princess lie motionless on the ground.Halen immediately ran over, cradling the princess's body in his arms. "Why? Why did you do this? You didn't have to protect me," he asked, confused.Blood continued to pour from the princess's mouth as she trembled and spoke. "Because you were so good to me, and I knew all about your plans," she said."You knew, but you still helped me? Why are you so foolish?" Halen was shocked to learn that the princess had been aware of his schemes."Because...because you were one of the few people in this castle who were kind to me. Even
When the Queen saw Halen in such a state, she assumed he was feeling unwell and quickly walked up to him. "Halen, my dear son, what's wrong with you?" she asked. Halen, upon seeing the Queen, quickly bowed and wiped the corner of his mouth. "I'm sorry, Mother. I just saw a woman, and her beauty was so captivating," he confessed, pretending not to know who the princess was. "I saw her too. She's your brother's woman. Don't even think about it. Go back to your room and rest. I'll send a servant to bring you breakfast. You need to get well. The way you behaved just now is not befitting of a prince," the Queen said, feeling a sense of shame that her son was coveting his brother's woman. Halen, hearing his mother's words, had no choice but to return to his room. However, as he lay in bed, his mind was filled with thoughts of evil plans. With a wicked smile, he prepared to take a nap. Meanwhile, the princess had brought the roses into her room and began arranging them beautifully. When s
Laura cautiously leaned in to listen at the door, coincidentally, Ned was wandering around the castle and saw Laura. He walked towards her, but Laura was so focused on listening to the sounds inside the room that she didn't notice him. Ned quietly approached and gently tapped on Laura's shoulder. Laura was startled and turned to see Ned, pushing him away lightly."You scared me, do you know that?" she exclaimed."What are you doing?" Ned asked with a smile.Laura gestured for him to be quiet with a "shhh" motion, reminding Ned not to speak. Ned understood and leaned in to listen as well. They could hear the sound of a bottle shattering inside the Prince's room. Laura was very worried, she was concerned about what might have happened to the Princess. She wanted to knock on the door, but her status prevented her from doing so.Ned saw through Laura's thoughts and took her by the hand, using his magic to make them both invisible. Laura looked at Ned with confused eyes, not understanding
When Laura saw Lucy's angry appearance, she did not intend to pay any attention to her and thought about what to do next.The next morning, when the Selene foreman came to assign work, Lucy was still so eager to attack Laura that she did not listen to what the Selene foreman had to say.Lucy deliberately walks up to Laura and uses Ned's method to deal with her. When Laura comes, she reaches over the mop and directly trips Laura"Ah -" Laura cried out in pain, and this scene was just seen by the foreman Selene, who did not want to listen to any explanation from Lucy, put Lucy in the back kitchen to help, and was never allowed to come back to work.In this way, Lucy completely disappeared from Laura's life, and her residence was changed. Laura lived a reasonably well-nourished life without Lucy's provocation.At the end of their work, Ned and Laura go together. Ned leans close to Laura's ear"I'll meet you tonight in the back garden. I found a great place
