[Isabelle's POV ends here][Switch to Frederick's POV]..."Son Frederick. You must accept the legal punishment for what you have done to our daughter."I had predicted, at least this is what I would receive after daring to hurt Isabelle earlier.The royal courtroom was only filled with me, King Elbarrack, Queen Camellia, and one judge who was handling this matter. From any kind of angle, what I had just done to Isabelle was crazy.With the help of my subordinates, I managed to find out who Isabelle's real parents were. With that, I was already regarded as a god of help for the Magnolia Kingdom. And now, I've broken their trust."On what grounds did you harm Princess Isabelle?" said the magistrate at his bench. "Are you aware of the consequences you will face if you dare to touch a member of the Magnolia kingdom?""I was fully aware," I said, without trying to defend myself. "My emotions were the only basis for me to make a mistake and hurt Princess Isabelle. I was afraid of losing he
[Frederick's POV ends][Back to Isabelle's POV]...The highest point of a person's consciousness is when he manages to gain control over oneself, even though one is still trapped in the dream world.This happened to me for the second time. The first time was when I was about to miscarry, and I dreamt of being tortured by Gabriel.This second time, this time, I was dreaming of being chased by Princes who wanted my baby."Are you awake?"The only other thing was the presence of Alpha's voice, the minute I opened my eyelids.Morning was bright and sunny, not knowing that it was still snowing heavily. My whole body was stiff as if it had been hit by a block of ice, and the pain attacking my head made me unable to get up."Don't force yourself. You know I hit you pretty hard that time."That voice was present again. But throughout my vision that scrutinized every curve of this royal room, I saw no one but those Luxury royal stuffs.But I recognized whose voice it was."Frederick ...?" I c
My misbehavior was dealt with directly by him after he could no longer entrust my meals to the servants of Magnolia kingdom.It's been over a week since I've seen his tall figure, clad in royal attire with a fluttering white robe, standing with his back to the giant doors guarded by royal soldiers.On either side of him, followed by the various food carts destined for me. When he reached my bed, I threw away my reluctant face to look at him.His hand immediately grabbed my chin and pulled it forcefully. A spoonful of milk porridge that was still warm, he forcibly stuffed into my mouth. I closed my lips tightly, but he continued to force me. As a result, my lips were torn by the sharp edge of the spoon."Argh!" I growled in pain. The porridge was halfway down my throat by force. And invited his happy smile. For the first time, he'd managed to force me to eat."You're crazy Alpha!" I screeched at his cruelty.He recognized that this method was effective enough to force me to finish the
The gleam of his eyes reflected on my distended belly that could no longer be covered. The corners of his lips lifted into a sardonic, sneering smile, I could feel the sheer disgust with which he looked at our baby."I knew it, you're just like those cheap Omegas out there," he said with a sarcastic snort. "You're saying you got pregnant because of me? Because I raped you that night? Nonsense.""I'm not lying!" I screeched, shaking my head to make him believe me. "How many times do I have to say it? I was the Omega in your dream! You did fuck me that night! And this is your child!""Isabelle!" Frederick began to panic as I eagerly laid out all the facts in front of him."Stop that nonsense, you're pregnant with my child!" he snapped.I was starting to feel dizzy from the drama he was sowing. "Frederick? Have you lost your mind? There's no way I'm pregnant with your child. You know best that I'm-hmmm!"My words were cut short by a forced kiss by him. His fingers slipped between my hair
"Damn it! Answer me now!"My trust, which was already a paper-thin, was further burnt and scorched after being hit with layers of lies by him. I approached him by barging into the doctors who were treating him and pushed them roughly."You better answer me now before I kill you," I threatened with my blood boiling. I grabbed him roughly by the collar of his top until our foreheads touched.His eyes had a clear light that reflected the expression of my rage. He remained silent, but his silence was full of answers.That he was indeed the one who forced Matthias to leave me, the one who forced him to be with Estella more than me."You are crazy." That was the first sentence I could describe, by this Alpha who was supposed to be my god of help."Who would have thought that behind that angelic demeanor of yours, you'd be harboring such foul lies," I said.His reaction was that he allowed the wound on his head to open up, bleed again, just for the sake of carrying my body using both hands.
His demeanor, which had softened when dealing with my mother, changed like the North Pole illuminated by the scorching sun. His cold and gentle behavior turned fiery, harsh, and cruel when Camellia was no longer by his side."No! Let go of me! You! I already know your real plan! You've been playing innocent all this time because you wanted to snatch me away from another prince, didn't you!? You're more terrifying than all of them!"My words were taken for granted by his ears which were already stuffed with selfish feelings. My cries did not affect his resolve, and he locked me back in the room with my legs chained again."Tell me now, Frederick! What do you want!? Why are you doing this crazy thing to me!?"/clang!/The growl of my vocal cords was outshone by the noise of the door he locked and slammed from outside. Just a few seconds ago, I almost convinced Camellia to kick him out of here.And now, this body is again a farm animal being used as her hostage. Locked inside a room that
"So you're saying this was all Frederick's plan too?" I demanded."Huh? Ah, that's not what your Mom meant, dear." Camellia immediately looked awkward and flustered after she blurted out. Afterward, she repeatedly corrected her words by emphasizing that Frederick had nothing to do with the plan to destroy Theodosius.Unfortunately, all the alibis she threw at me sounded more and more suspicious, and I was more and more convinced. I clenched my hands into fists to cope with the emotions that exploded like an erupting volcano.In front of Camellia, I forced a smile so that she wouldn't feel uneasy. Though in my heart, I vowed to meet Frederick after this and beat him to a pulp.__________-- One Month Later-- Magnolia Kingdom, Magnolia Palace..."Your Majesty. It is with great regret that we must confiscate all the books in your collection, as this is Lord Frederick's order.""What?"Who wouldn't be surprised after returning from the doctor's examination, my room was already filled wi
"Here's the thing. To get out of here and strike back at Frederick, the first thing you have to do is win back Matthias' love," he said with a serious look on his face."With you being here, that means your relationship with Matthias is not good, right?" he continued with a rhetorical question.I was too lazy to answer, so I just rolled my eyes lazily."Yeah," I replied briefly and half-heartedly. "Frederick has managed to manipulate both my parents, and he has even manipulated Matthias' mind. Do you know what I've become? I'm like a mannequin doll with no will of my own.""Speaking of which, Isabelle. You ... How did you meet your biological parents?" he asked suddenly, which made me jump quite a bit too."Er ..." I mumbled while racking my brain. "Frederick was the one who brought me together with them. But I don't know the details. You can imagine, right? Being trapped here thanks to his ridiculous manipulations doesn't leave me much time to talk freely to my parents."Arthur seeme
