LOGINI was very familiar with that kind of look. I knew they would never let me go as they would never forget a grudge.I smiled slightly and, under their puzzled gazes, raised my hand to cast a spell. They froze for a moment, but after realizing it was just a simple communication spell, they burst into laughter."Fool! Only now did you think to call for help?"With that, Caspian rushed toward me with the other two close behind. However, before I could defend myself, a figure quickly arrived and shielded me from behind."Don't be afraid!"I quickly stepped aside while Felix cried out in shock, "It's you!"The other two were stunned, but before they could react, they were surrounded by hidden guards who had emerged from the bushes.The newcomer was none other than Leo's brother. Noble families were fiercely competitive, and beastmen traditionally had many brothers.In my previous life, after my hearing partially recovered, I memorized everything they said and did. Leo had constantly
When Victoria was pulled back up by another rope tied to her body, she was covered in wounds. Her arms and legs were bent at unnatural angles. Felix skillfully pried open her jaw to force medicine down her throat.Mother sobbed uncontrollably. Victoria reopened her eyes and immediately crawled forward, bowing repeatedly as she tried to apologize."I shouldn't have toyed with you...""Shut up." The three beastmen gave her no chance to speak, kicking her over with a single blow."Was it fun?""No, it wasn't.""Hmm?" Leo raised an eyebrow.Victoria hastily said, "Yes, yes! It was fun."Felix looked satisfied. "But since you've had your fun, it's time for someone else to take your place. How about that old woman who helped you fake your death?""What?" Mother's face turned deathly pale as she backed away frantically, but Victoria nodded enthusiastically."Yes! That works!"She cried out to Mother in the same wheedling tone she always used, "Mother, you won't abandon me, will y
The court erupted in chaos because of that day's events. Many ministers and royal relatives had witnessed Mother and Victoria's fake performance, leaving them with no reasonable explanation.This made Mother's already mediocre political achievements look more pathetic. The people's support of me only grew stronger.Mother used her maternal family's connections to barely suppress the matter, but Victoria was still missing.I watched as many new wrinkles appeared on Mother's face. In my previous life, when I was tortured for three years and returned to the palace after hiding and fleeing, she had shown no signs of aging and had even been cheerful and smiling.The difference in how she treated us was painfully clear."What are you still doing here? Get out and find your sister! How can you be so shameless? You're a cold-blooded monster who only cares about power!"Mother frantically beat me, forcing me to leave. I dodged her impatiently.Just as I was about to mock her, a spirit be
The three beastmen spoke in a cold, threatening tone as they questioned Victoria."If you explain yourself clearly, I might still be willing to love only you.""You accepted so many precious gifts from me, but now, you fake your death and claim we're just friends?""If you've truly had a change of heart, turning you into a puppet wouldn't be excessive."They seemed quite willing to listen to her explanation, but Victoria mistakenly believed she still held the upper hand.She collapsed weakly on the ground, displaying her most fragile side while desperately trying to think. The people around them were deeply shocked and could not help whispering among themselves."Good heavens. How could she commit such shameless acts? No wonder they came looking for her.""Didn't the crown princess always preach that beastmen were inferior? How did she end up with three of them?"By now, everything had become both clear and absurd. Mother, as the main participant, did not dare say a word. She w
Felix reacted swiftly, immediately grabbing Mother by the throat. Everyone froze, not daring to make any sudden moves. They were stunned speechless by what they were witnessing."Oh, this… This is..." Everyone was clearly confused by Victoria's 'resurrection' and romantic entanglements."What's going on?" Felix narrowed his eyes, suddenly realizing there was more to this situation.When he first read Victoria's farewell message, he had assumed she was throwing a tantrum and leaving. However, a day ago, someone suddenly informed him of Victoria's whereabouts. He rushed here in haste, only to encounter the other two beastmen, resulting in this mess.The people he questioned did not dare to answer, so Felix tightened his grip around the throat of the man in his hand. The man trembled as he explained, "The crown princess fell off a cliff and died a few days ago. She's supposed to be buried today, but now, she has risen from the dead...""Risen from the dead?" The lion shifter, Leo,
By the third day, Mother voluntarily proposed a simple burial for Victoria, claiming it was to prevent her from ruining the kingdom's fortune. I had no reason to object and naturally let her proceed.Even so, how could I simply allow her to help Victoria escape through this elaborate scheme? The moment I opened my eyes this morning, I had someone announce the burial. By now, all the court ministers would know about it.I claimed that Mother wanted to accompany Victoria on her final journey alone and had requested the officials and me to join later. When the coffin was carried outside the palace, Victoria, disheveled and dirty, could not help but start crying."Mother, it's so stuffy. Let me get some air first."Mother felt deeply sorry for her and immediately planned to let her out."Your Majesty!"Both Mother and Victoria were startled. The officials and I had actually caught up with them. She shot me a hateful glance but dared not delay any longer."Since you're all here, le
