Qri was a bit stunned, found two bamboo sticks, picked up a resurrected scorpion, Emma said softly: “You said you were innocent, then okay, as long as you swallow this scorpion, I will believe you are innocent. I will definitely live with you kindly in the future. ** “Emily’s face turned pale, her whole body stiffened in place like a wooden puppet.Dan’s long sword passed through her neck. No one said anything. Everyone’s eyes were staring at her, including Emily’s maid, who also had a scared look on her face.The entire room was quiet. The scorpion suddenly squirmed and made a “rattling” sound, scaring Emily so much that she trembled violently.Emma smiled. Emily’s whole body trembled.Emma slowly smiled and said: “Don’t you dare? So it seems like what you said just now was just false sentiment.” (false, not with good intentions)Emily sobbed in a low voice, her eyes full of resentment, trying to hold back. “Third sister, I know I’m wrong. Please forgive me!”Emma smiled and said: “
Erica was horrified when she saw her younger sister, who had always been capricious but never displayed such madness before. This little girl had always remembered her status as a young lady of the royal family. She was never supposed to show this kind of frenzied behavior.Emily resisted desperately, even biting, head-butting, kicking, and thrashing around. She fought off anyone who approached her and, finally, opened her mouth wide, aggressively biting Erica’s hand. Erica screamed and stepped back two paces, her right wrist bleeding profusely, exposing nearly her bone. The fourth stepmother cried out in despair, “My daughter! How could she become like this?”Emily shouted, “Go away! Go away! All of you, go away!”The servants outside heard the fourth stepmother screaming and running toward them, calling for help, “Someone! Help! The girl has gone mad, she’s gone mad—”In the room, Luna Sandra was conversing with Emma, “Sigh. Last night was indeed strange. Just when everything was go
Beta Henry stopped in his tracks. Clear her name? How absurd! He couldn’t let those people spread this outside. They needed to pay! He coldly ordered, “Whoever is responsible, bring those guards—”He made a subtle neck-slashing motion, as cold and ruthless as ice.Emma raised an eyebrow, implying that she didn’t expect leniency for anyone who had wronged Emily. She glanced at the terrified maids and nannies around and gently asked, “Father, do you intend—”Her tone was questioning, expressing unease.Beta Henry calmly replied, “Emma, don’t show mercy. They saw what they shouldn’t have seen, and of course, they must pay a heavy price.”Emma said no more. She suddenly felt a cold flow in her body. Seeing those who had caused harm to her suffer made her whole body boil with excitement and cruelty. Perhaps, beneath her façade, Emma was even more ruthless than Beta Henry!The entire group of maids and nannies lowered their heads, aware of the changes in the winds within this mansion.The f
The petite face of the ninth princess turned deathly pale with fear. She stammered, “You... what are you going to do?”“Isn’t it you like snakes, princess? I naturally had to give you a little gift to show my appreciation,” Emma chuckled.The ninth princess was too frightened to where she instinctively backed away.Luna Sandra sternly scolded, “Emma, have you gone mad?”Emma turned her head to glance at Luna Sandra, saying, “Mother, it’s quite windy here. You should rest and not let your old illness relapse.”Luna Sandra suppressed her anger, coldly saying, “Emma, you’re capricious and unruly. Don’t blame me for not warning you. The princess is highly respected—”Before she could finish her sentence, Qri brought over a bamboo tube, and Emma opened the lid. A large blossom snake “hissed” as it slithered out, its forked tongue flickering towards everyone.Emma smiled and reached out to grab the snake, which naturally wouldn’t let her hold it as she pleased. It hissed and its tail thrash
Edward looked at Emma and said, “Do you think I was right to kill them, don’t you?”This question had no simple answer.Emma had an enigmatic smile on her face, her lips remaining uncurled. Her voice was low, sounding like an icy wind, barely there yet piercing into the core of a person. “Your Highness, what do you think you lack compared to Alpha Jeffn?”Edward’s face didn’t change, but inside, it felt like a whirlwind was passing through him.Emma laughed, “Being a member of the Royal family, you carry the vulnerability of a woman, something that shouldn’t be found in the descendants of the Royal Lycans. I dare to say that if you continue like this, you will undoubtedly cannot raise your head in the future. Let alone talking about good friends and siblings, even if they are blood-related siblings, they should be eliminated without hesitation if they obstruct your path. This is how a king should act. You have been studying outside, learning about these arbitrary affections. You’ve fo
Emma said nothing. She already knew the outcome of this story. King Lycan had furiously condemned Luna Liliana to death and ordered the execution of Alpha Cipher’s entire family. Alpha Jeffn was sent to be raised by Omega Lena. Omega Lena and the Queen formed a close alliance, and Alpha Jeffn’s deep respect for the Queen stemmed from this connection. However, this part of history was deliberately concealed by Omega Lena. King Lycan had only informed the public that Luna Liliana had died of an illness, maintaining Alpha Jeffn’s image. In reality, the shrewd knew that Luna Liliana, with her humble background, giving birth to a royal heir, had drawn both admiration and jealousy, leading to a conspiracy against her.Emma smiled. “The one behind the scenes understands King Lycan’s mindset. He knew that King Lycan wanted to eliminate Alpha Cipher completely, so he provided a convenient reason.”Edward was taken aback.Emma’s voice remained calm and devoid of emotion. “Doesn’t Your Highness
She knew that the more noble a person was, the less likely he would say a word. Refusing someone like that would be like skinning a tiger, but when she rejected him, she didn’t feel afraid at all, because if Edward was angry because of his rejection. , then he will not have any promising future worth mentioning. Also, she wants to be an ally with Edward, not a submissive subordinate, and not the woman he loves. He has to get used to her way of speaking!Edward saw her stony face, was frightened, and suddenly let go of her hand.Emma quickly said: “I need to go back, I’m so sorry.” After speaking, he turned around and left, briefly and fluently.Edward bewilderedly watched her leave, feeling sad and lost, but he was not worried. There will be many opportunities to win her heart in the future, that’s for sure!Emma calculated in her heart, she did not expect Edward to make such a request. She was not sure if this came from his sincere love, or because he felt they could stand on the sam
Draco’s cool eyes turned away.Emma smiled, “No one in this world can oppress me, and if she wants me to come, then I have to go. I don’t care about the consequences.”A while later, Emma entered Luna Sandra’s room with a bright smile. A maid was massaging Luna Sandra’s feet, her left ear covered by the raised collar of her robe; her gaze vague and unfocused. Nanny Joie spoke gently, “The Third Miss is here.”It wasn’t until well over half a day later that Luna Sandra finally opened her eyes. She stared at Emma for a moment, then smiled slowly. “Emma has arrived, I see.”Emma smiled brightly, “Indeed, Mother. I’m here to assist as per your instructions.”Luna Sandra uttered a single word, “Good. It’s time for a meal.”Nanny Joie had already instructed the servants to set up the dining table, and Luna Sandra looked at Emma. With a friendly tone, Emma stepped forward to help her.In the presence of all the servants and nannies in the room, the two appeared very affectionate, almost like
The second stepmother’s eyes swelled like peaches. If anyone who looked at her would think she was so compassionate.Only she knew how much effort it took to put on this facade, even using the best perfumes layered six or seven times just to make her complexion appear slightly paler.When she saw Felicia dressed in vibrant red, she was initially surprised, but then a bitter smile appeared in her eyes, and she determined not to give her time to change clothes.She grabbed her hand and said, “Quickly come in, senior lady is waiting for you!”Felicia misunderstood the meaning behind these words, becoming even more convinced that her maternal grandmother had passed away.Overwhelmed with joy, she tried to restrain her expression of happiness, intending to brush off the woman’s hand.However, unable to avoid the onlookers, she was forcefully dragged into the main hall by the woman. As soon as she stepped inside, she heard the second stepmother exclaim, “Senior lady, Felicia has returned!”
Emma estimated it to be three months, but in reality, Luna Sandra passed away just a short month after the mourning was announced at Alpha Goode Manor.On that day, before dawn had even broken, representatives from the Goreng family were already knocking on the grand doors of the Seldom family mansion.Carol received the news first and hurriedly came to report, “Luna Sandra has passed away!”Although prepared for it beforehand, upon hearing those words ringing in her ears, she still felt surprised.“Why so soon?” Luther beside her couldn’t help but remark.Carol’s face carried a hint of sarcasm as she replied, “After the Goreng family brought her back, just as the young lady said, they invited the Imperial Physician from the palace to examine her, but the lady’s condition had already deteriorated critically. She refused to take her medicine. The Goreng family tried everything, even inviting a renowned healer from the south, but before that person could arrive in the Capital, Luna Sand
Luna Sandra despised this second maid, her eyes darting around, wide open with surprise. It turned out that every flower, every blade of grass, every door and window, every piece of furniture, and even the mountainside, the dining hall, everything was plastered with yellow talismans.This bizarre scene left Luna Sandra dumbfounded.Miona exclaimed, “This is—”She turned back to look at Luna Sandra, her eyes questioning, but Luna Sandra seemed bewildered, unable to say anything. Nanny Marry breathed a sigh of relief; currently, Luna Sandra was confined to her room, though she ate and took her medicine three times a day as usual. However, the third young lady had quietly instructed that no one be allowed to talk to her. Over time, Luna Sandra seemed to forget how to communicate, spending her days in a daze, her nerves gradually deteriorating. Now she even refused to take her medication, constantly claiming to see spirits and sometimes even rolling off the bed. At this moment, her breath
Luna Sandra’s grandmother observed Emma from afar, clad in simple attire, with a graceful figure and gentle footsteps. Her eyes carried a hint of a smile as she appeared, lacking the ostentatious beauty of a moonflower, yet her gentle smile and serene demeanor, with tranquil eyebrows, exuded a rustic elegance, akin to a proud white orchid.Luna Sandra glanced, immediately recognizing Emma’s subtle strength. Such a girl lacked the captivating beauty of Felicia, but concealed her own power and charm. While she seemed plain at first glance, she stood out among a myriad of blooming flowers, inadvertently dominating the room.Emma acknowledged Luna Sandra’s assessing gaze with a calm smile, sincerely addressing her, “Emma pays respects to the maternal grandmother, the first sister-in-law.”Luna Sandra remained silent, her maid Miona astute, stepping forward to support Emma’s hand, carefully assessing her from head to toe, remarking, “The third cousin is exquisite, pure and gentle, generous
He suddenly remembered something, his face darkening. “Has someone angered you?” The words had barely left his mouth when he immediately felt regret. Tentatively, he reached out, lifting her face, a tear as cold as ice falling onto his hand without warning. Clearly cold as it was, the young man’s heart felt as if it had been scorched in an instant, a pain inexplicable.Emma raised her head, her eyes devoid of tears, as if the tear in his hand was merely an illusion. She smiled gently, whispering to the confused young man, “Younger brother...”Now, the only person she could fully rely on was him.If possible, she hoped, he would not change throughout his life.“I won’t let anyone bully you.” The young man reached out, stroking her soft hair.Emma was stunned, then immediately smiled. At this moment, she thought the young man was joking, but later discovered she had been mistaken.Today, Dan rode a horse straight to the Seldom family’s residence.Dan hurried to Emma’s side, kneeling dow
The king, very suspicious. So everything that happened today was within Emma’s calculations.Emma turned away, and the distant fire cast an uncertain flickering light on her face. Her voice was calm, so ordinary that nobody could sense the unprecedented fatigue beneath it. She said, “I did this for the Seventh Prince’s own good.”Edward looked at her in surprise.Emma continued, “Today’s events, on the surface, Luna Daisy, were reprimanded by King Lycan. However, King Lycan knows he wronged Luna Daisy and even contemplated assassination. King Lycan will conclude that someone overwhelmed with jealousy against his beloved consorts plotted against Luna Daisy, always so gentle. Tell me, who will think King Lycan is a threat and resort to taking action against her?”“You intentionally chose Luna Meria?” Edward looked at her in disbelief.“That’s right, Luna Meria’s second son, who is also my Second Elder Brother, was married into the Alpha Male’s household. He has a legitimate daughter who
King Lycan’s face turned purple with anger, and he ordered an investigation. The result of the investigation found a wooden nameplate hanging from the waist of one of the palace maids, used for distinguishing the maids. This nameplate was traced back to Luna Daisy’s palace.At that moment, the expressions of everyone present changed dramatically.Luna Daisy had always been highly favored by King Lycan and had remained unshaken in her position for many years. But now, King Lycan was furious as he held up the wooden nameplate meant to distinguish the palace maids and threw it strongly in Luna Daisy’s direction, saying, “Luna Daisy, is this the good deed you’ve done?”Luna Daisy’s face suddenly turned pale. She had been in the palace for many years and had seen her fair share of such situations, but she had never witnessed King Lycan this furious. Overwhelmed by the sudden catastrophe, she was so frightened that she almost collapsed on the ground. Her usually sharp mind went blank, and s
Luna Meria, upon hearing these words, displayed anger and bitterness on her face, saying, “Emma, if it weren’t for your desire to compete with Naomi, how could she end up in this state? Everything is because of you...”Monami looked at Luna Meria with sympathy and believed that this had nothing to do with Emma. If it weren’t for Naomi’s haughty attitude, Emma wouldn’t have wanted to compete with her. Furthermore, her injury was an unfortunate accident. Just as Monami was about to speak, Emma gently interrupted, saying, “Miss Monami, I have a few words to speak with my aunt. Could you step out for a moment?”Monami was a wise and tactful young lady who understood human nature. She believed Emma wanted to explain things to Luna Meria, so she smiled and said, “Of course I’ll leave for now. I’ll find you later.” As she observed the behavior of many young noble ladies who were often haughty, Monami, with her martial family background, admired Emma’s straightforward, intelligent, and courag
“Carol, present your treasure to the Seventh Prince,” Emma gestured.Carol approached Emma with a stony face and retrieved a bronze mirror from within her clothes, and Edward quickly understood.“I asked Carol to pay attention to the surroundings. When that person shot the arrow, she signaled me,” Emma explained simply. Many complex details, such as how Carol had detected Samuel, how she had chosen the perfect moment, and how they had communicated, remained unspoken, but Edward still understood.It was all part of a carefully orchestrated plan.Emma invited Naomi to the horse race, but in reality, she had intended for Naomi to die in her place.Edward asked, puzzled, “Why did you choose Naomi? From what I know, you are ruthless and wouldn’t spare the innocent.”Emma chuckled and replied, “Some people have been noticing Luna Meria and Naomi coming to Luna Daisy’s camp the past few days. They wondered why they were so concerned about me. I thought I should repay their kindness in some w
