On the other hand, that very night, after Lady Tiana threw Anna's tiara into the fireplace, the festive dinner party ended in a chaotic and tense atmosphere. Anna, who was dead inside, made the eunuchs, who initially held her tightly, begin to let her go, thinking she wouldn't rebel again. Then, with a blank stare and slow steps, Anna walked to the fireplace. She crouched down, and her hand went into the fire, taking what was left of her beloved tiara. The gold that made up the tiara had melted; the only thing that was still good was the round purple crystal in the center of the tiara. Anna didn't feel the heat of the flames that began to wrap around her skin. She took the crystal out of the fire, wiping the ashes off with her dress. Then she stood up and turned around. In front of everyone, she kissed the crystal.She was completely fine. Her skin was still as white and beautiful as it had been before she put her hand into the fire. The fire was so hot that even gold could melt, let

Then Anna burst out laughing. Her laughter sounds so creepy. The king became irritated with her. Her laughter was so loud that it could be heard from outside the chamber. Through that laughter, Anna let out all her feelings about how disgusting the Harlow family was and how they ended up losing their nobility by wanting the blood of a slave they had always despised. What an irony."Cut her tongue." I command you."A guard took out the dagger he was carrying. The others held Anna. Anna remained calm and kept a smug face. Then, with one swipe, her tongue was cut out. She didn't laugh anymore, but she kept smiling, as if she felt no pain. But it was true—she felt no pain at all.Then she was moved back to the dungeon. Her feet were chained. Every evening, a guard came and slashed her wrists. They collected the blood in a glass as King Daryl's personal wine. She was kept fed, watered, and medicated to keep her alive so they could continue to take her blood. Several times, Lady Tiana also

"Prepare my red dress. There is a man I must kill tonight. The handsome, arrogant prince Erwin Oh my god, finally I can see how handsome he is." Lady Arista said to her handmaidLady Arista climbed out of her milk tub. Still naked, she sits on the couch behind her dressing table.She looked at her naked body through the mirror."I'm beautiful," she said."Yes, my lady, you are the most beautiful girl in the whole kingdom. The prince will be sick for you," said her handmaid as she brushed her master's hair."I must kill Prince Erwin," said Lady Arista again.She is in a high mood tonight. She found a new prey. All men are foolish when it comes to female beauty, including the prince, she thought. And she always knows that her beauty is "lethal". She loves to break all men's hearts with her beauty and black eyes. And she even feels confident that Erwin will fall in love with her and that she will break his heart as well."Just because I have to marry him does not mean he will have my lov

Lady Arista entered Erwin's room and saw the prince looking at his reflection in the mirror."My prince, I'm sorry I kept you waiting so long," she said.Erwin turned to look at Lady Heather. He saw Lady Arista bowing respectfully to him."So you are Lady Heather," said Erwin.Erwin walked up to Lady Arista to kiss her hand."This is awkward for me; why do we have to talk in the room, my lady? I want some fresh air; how about we sit on the terrace?" Erwin said."No need. I usually meet guests in the room.""Really? Is that what your father taught you?"Lady Arista nodded.All her life, Lady Arista's father, Lord Heather, had whispered in her ear about her beauty and noble status, saying that there was no other woman more precious than her and that she must raise her family's status one day. Lady Arista believed what her father said wholeheartedly; even when her father asked her to meet guests in the room and use her beauty to manipulate other nobles, Arista believed that it was what a

The king was naturally surprised to see Erwin alive and fierce on the dragon's back. And he was terrified to see the anger in Erwin's eyes. At that moment, even the bravest knight accompanying them was frightened by Erwin's arrival. How could they not? They believed that Erwin already knew about the assassination attempt against him, and for that sole reason, he could order the dragon to burn them all. Even now, Erwin has witnessed the girl he loved being humiliated and severely injured. Even if Anna were not his girl, his anger by seeing the poor girl tortured by the king’s madness would still tolerable. They all know that what he did to Anna was unforgivable, they wish that they stopped him earlier, maybe Erwin will spare their life then. But, now, they are too late. And Erwin’s wrath will consume they all.However, the king himself suddenly calmed down after he realized that Erwin, who was accompanied by the dragon Frenya, did not have a single soldier with him."Take it easy, dear
