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
"Then what do you want? To go back to Matthias who rejected you so blatantly?" he said from a distance. I was unable to watch his face as he continued to walk a step ahead of me.But not his voice. It pierced my heart to hear how he hated mentioning Matthias' name."I know you can never give up your love for Matthias, that's why I'm doing this for you," he continued firmly."No, what you did was wrong!" I insisted. "You lied to everyone, including yourself. If you want me to be happy, then you have to find an honest way by not adding trouble to others!""Adding trouble, you say?" he quickly retorted. And just as quickly his steps stopped in front of me, his face twisted back with a piercing expression."I pinned you and your baby against the cruel tyranny of Mattias," he said. "Why is it so hard for you to recognise my hard work? If it weren't for my plan, your baby would have been lost to the princes. And Matthias would have chosen Estella no matter what.""You're the one who forced
Inappropriate and humiliating items were crammed into my body by him. Something in my heart rebelled furiously against it, this was my first sex with him. Or, more appropriately, rape. "You ... are amonster," I said in a trembling voice. There was no pain that I felt after the various foreplay that he directed, but it was my heart that seemed to be torn apart so sadistically. "If you know you're a monster in angelic robes, I'd rather use these legs to reach the real monster," I moaned, holding back tears. On top of me, he who had remained with his cold face just stared at me silently. But not with his erect penis, showering me with lustful thrusts. Our intercourse was like two different sides of a coin. The full consciousness in my head clearly rejects whatever is happening now. In contrast to my consciousness, the touch after touch Frederick gives is like a drug that fools the brain. His caresses pamper my body, the scent of his pheromones binds my neck. Maybe he's deliberately
-- 7.00 PM-- City Park-- At the border of the Magnolia Kingdom..."Fruit! Buy fresh fruit! Winter is coming to an end and this is a very rare fruit! Please buy it!"Parallel to the cherry blossom trees that were frozen in the snowfall, stopped an old lady merchant who was not selling well. It's none of my business, I myself escaped from the palace and stayed in this garden to relieve my sorrow.As the gaze of the old lady in the red hood met mine, I turned my face away deliberately. I was very reluctant to talk to someone this morning. Not after all the abuse Frederick had heaped on me."Good morning, Your Honour." With a basket of very sweet-coloured peaches, more like apples grown in the dryness of winter, the saleswoman approached me.I didn't expect her to greet me even though I had clearly ignored her. She even cleared the pile of snow on my lap after asking permission."It's very cold today, Your Honour," she said in a warm voice, in contrast to her cold hands. "You could hur
"That's it, that's enough. Stop everything. You're only making my time shorter." I shooed away those who were still in a hurry to dress me in full royal attire.There's no telling here, with every second that passes, there's my heart pounding with fear of Frederick suddenly coming back and messing things up."All of you, you now must prevent anyone from entering this palace until I finish talking to my friend," I ordered all the servants and soldiers in front of me.I pointed at their confused faces without pity. "Don't let Frederick disturb me inside, understand you all?""W-what should we do, Your Highness? We're afraid we don't have enough power to forbid Prince Frederick from seeing you," said one of the servants standing at the back of the crowd."Tsk. Just do it! Engage him in conversation or distract him! That will do!" I snapped. They were so frightened because they had never heard a princess like me yell with such no manners.But damn the devil. Ever since Frederick bared his
"Did you just ignore my question?" I threw out rather sarcastically. My patience was quite burnt by how he coldly treated a customer."I'm the princess of Magnolia. You live there, don't you?" I mentioned it again.And finally, that sentence of mine managed to make his face turn to me, despite giving me a dubious expression."You are Princess Esther?" he said as if toying with my earnestness. "She died long ago in the kidnapping tragedy. I suggest looking for other materials if you want to lie to me. The news has already spread throughout the kingdom.""So you don't believe me?" I retorted while reaching into my coat pocket for something.His eyes, which had always ignored me, now turned wide as I took out the Magnolia crown and put it on my head.The beer bottle in his hand almost fell over if he didn't immediately stop the trembling his body was giving off, the effect of the shock he saw from me. He immediately bowed and gave me a respectful greeting, knowing that I was the real Pri
