She tried not to think about anything else.
There was a woman lying in the city who was trampled to death by a frightened horse, and her body was naked.
Someone came forward to identify her, and it was Elena, the second daughter of the famous Legoza family!
They said that Elena, the second daughter of the Legoza family, became insane and ran out of the manor without clothes. After a long period of time, she ran to the stable and frightened the horses, which were then trampled to death.
Only a few days ago, the Duke died tragically, and the young lady went mad. Not to mention running out naked, the rumors spread all over the city.
Kathy became the only surviving legitimate daughter in the manor, and her father Massimo Legoza directly handed over many responsibilities to her. At that time, Kathy was not interested in managing the family affairs.
She didn't care about rumors, and she didn't think anyone would dare to damage the reputation of the Legoza family.
The only thing she cares about now is that Elena's death will soon be suspected to be her fault.
Kathy has seen people whispering when she passes by.
Yes, on the first day Elena was scared out of her mind, she was locked up in the east wing of the third floor under strict guard. The key to that room only belonged to her.
However, she not only failed to fulfill her responsibility, but also scolded Elena frequently from the beginning because she slept with John.
Just yesterday, when I came back from Laura's, she was about to go to Elena's to settle accounts, but she found the door ajar and no one inside.
She felt in her pocket and realized that her keys were gone.
Because Kathy didn't allow anyone to visit Elena, there was no servant on the third floor, and no one could prove that she didn't let Elena escape.
Just as she was in a state of utter confusion, a roar came from the top floor, echoing throughout the castle.
Kathy Legoza, get on here!
Kathy looked up in horror at the furious Massimo Legoza.
In her father's hand, she saw the key she had lost.
Everyone turned around and looked at Kathy, waiting to see what she would do.
Father! Someone is trying to harm me! The key has been stolen!
Kathy shouted, with fear in her voice.
No one is not afraid of the Lord of House Legoza. In this family, he is like God, a man who can be compared to Tywin Lannister. He puts the family honor above everyone, especially his own children. No one dares to rebel against him.
"The key is on the ground in the east wing, lying with your handkerchief. You still want to argue!"
The cold expression on Massimo's face was evident.
He doesn't like anyone to break away from his control, especially children.
"Kathy Legoza, come on up."
Listening to the cold and emotionless voice, Kathy felt her legs trembling.
She was extremely frightened, knowing what she was about to face, yet she had no choice.
——
In the cage, Ned lay in Laura's arms, and Laura's fingers gently pressed on Ned's head. Ned enjoyed it, and slightly squinted his eyes.
For a moment, Laura wondered if the one lying in her arms was not an Alpha werewolf with superpowers, but a puppy who liked to lie by the fireplace.
She once had a white puppy, which grew to be very large and loved to lick her palm. One winter, she took the puppy out to play with her tutor, carrying a wooden board as a sled and wanting the puppy to pull her along. But the puppy ran away, into the frozen wilderness.
She was young at that time, and now she can't remember the name of the puppy.
Even the dog had to leave her.
At this time, Ned interrupted her thoughts and said slowly:
"So you left the key to frame her."
"Also to see what keys she has specifically, let you leave the east wing room there first, they will definitely think that the owner of the keys opened the door.
Ned looked confused. "It's troublesome. Can't we just kill her directly?"
"You don't understand."
I couldn't see Laura's eyes in the darkness.
"I want to rot this family from the roots, and that means planting the seeds of doubt in their most prized blood ties."
Ned rubbed his head against her chest and heard her calm voice.
“Revenge has just begun.”
Early the next morning, the entire Elena family was slaughtered without a trace of blood at the scene, and their heads were missing. However, all the doors and windows were locked. In a fit of rage, Massimo barged into Kathy's room, where she was blushing and lying on top of Alex, who was in the midst of thrusting. Ignoring their naked bodies, Massimo roughly pushed them apart and threw Kathy to the ground. "Isn't being in solitary confinement enough for you? What do you want?" he growled. Kathy trembled in fear, covering her chest with her hands and barely wrapping herself in a carpet. "Father, yesterday he impersonated a guard to deliver food to me and drugged me. He's the one who framed me for all this," she pleaded. Massimo sighed at Alex. With Elena's family, only he remained as the last legitimate heir. Massimo didn't want to punish him too severely. "Listen carefully, Alex. Since this is your first offense, I'm reassigning you to a prison job on the third floor. You are n
Massimo was hiding by the door and looking around at this moment. To his surprise, the child had sharp eyes and actually saw him through the crack of the door.Massimo leaped up, picked up the child, and quickly ran outside. No one noticed that the child's eyes had become scattered, muttering something in his mouth.Many nobles had fled to the top platform of the castle, which was very high and inaccessible to the wolves, who surrounded them barking furiously. They were dressed in thin clothes and shivering constantly.Pretending to care, Massimo shouted, "My people, do not be afraid. I have arranged guards here to protect your safety!"The nobles were in an uproar, and many were whispering among themselves. In their eyes, their fear of the patriarch had diminished, and they had gained more respect and gratitude.Seeing that they had been deceived, Massimo continued to encourage them. "If any of you have mages or powerful attendants, it would be better to contribute them. To safeguard
Massimo was shocked by Kathy's sudden appearance and momentarily at a loss as to how to handle the situation. He waved his hand and said, "Alright. Take them to the east wing on the third floor for interrogation."Two attendants lifted Laura, while two others escorted Kathy. Laura didn't resist, only staring coldly at Kathy with a seemingly sarcastic smile on her lips.The nobles who were still on the top floor began to make their way downstairs. Seeing Kathy being escorted with a lifeless expression, they gathered to discuss:"What's going on? Is Kathy also behind this? Wasn't Elena her good sister? What kind of grudge could there be for her to be so ruthless?"Laura sneered inwardly. This was just the beginning. Wait until Kathy's true colors were revealed; the shock was still to come.Massimo spoke righteously, "Rest assured, everyone. Although she is my daughter, I will uphold justice and not spare a single culprit."All the attendants returned to their lord's side. Massimo clappe
The creaking door opened, and Alex peeked in. With a delighted smile on his face, he walked in holding flowers. Tall and handsome, he looked like a stately fishbone tree outside the city. He knelt before Kathy with a hint of apology in his voice, "I'm sorry I'm late. Whether you want to hit or scold me, I have no complaints." Kathy's face was as cold as ice. "How did you know I was here? Father just ordered me to be brought here, and you followed closely behind. Didn't the servants stop you?" Alex anxiously grabbed Kathy's arm, but she sharply shook him off. "No," he hurriedly explained. "I saw you being scolded by your father yesterday, and I felt helpless and anxious. So I went to consult with my father and planned to sneak in through the window to see you. But you were gone. I had to bribe a guard to tell me where you were." Tears welled up in Kathy's eyes. It was evident that her previous heartless words were just a test for Alex. Laura sneered sarcastically. She found the wh
As the clock struck twelve in the castle, Massimo's powers had been restored. In the most luxurious room of the castle, Massimo gradually awoke, looking at the ring on his hand in panic. However, when he tested his powers, he was amazed to find that they had miraculously returned. Nonetheless, he thought of the draining scene from before still made his heart race with fear. He walked over to the bookshelf and moved the leftmost book, revealing a locked password lock chained in place. Using his powers, he unlocked the password , and with a loud bang, the bookshelf slid downward, revealing a large door shrouded in black mist. Massimo calmly walked through, entering a vast chamber filled with bloodstains left by werewolves. Unperturbed, he sat on the throne and whispered to himself, "This day will finally come." Meanwhile, in the inner chambers, Laura leisurely sipped coffee that Ned had smuggled out of the castle, as if she were in a peaceful paradise far from her life as an illegitim
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
