All Chapters of The King Let His Queen Kill Five Heirs: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

When Sebastian Sylvestrion came with Gregory Adelard to visit me, the queen dowager’s head lady’s maid came as well. “Your Majesty, the queen dowager has decreed that the loss of five heirs in succession must be the fault of Lady Merione’s lack of virtue. “She is unfit to be a mother. The royal lineage is a matter of state, and jeopardizing it is a capital offense! As this is a grave matter currently being discussed in court, Lady Merione must provide us with an explanation!”Sebastian, the king, frowned as he gently brushed aside the hair on my sweat-sopped forehead. “I understand. Report back to your mistress that I will settle this matter personally.”However, the lady’s maid, Mathild Helmann, did not leave.“Your Majesty, the queen dowager would like to know how you intend to deal with this matter, so that she can pray for guidance if necessary.”I clutched the hem of my skirts, feeling a sense of anticipation that I should not have.I waited for Sebastian to recount the

All of a sudden, everyone panicked. Sebastian was incensed. “This is absurd! How dare anyone harm the queen? Get to the bottom of this! I will have the perpetrator’s entire family hanged!”The needle of the compass spun wildly until it stopped with a plink, pointing to the southeast corner. Master Talebot immediately went to his knees. “It’s pointing to Lady Merione’s chambers!”With that, the hall plunged into silence. Sebastian stared at me with a complicated look in his eyes. Meanwhile, Vasya spat out a mouthful of blood. “It is my own fault; my sins are too great! This has nothing to do with Merione. Don’t listen to Master Talebot, Your Majesty!”Mother’s eyes were red-rimmed as she clutched Vasya’s hand. I was about to explain when Father rushed over and slapped me, sending me to the floor. “You wench, it’s bad enough that you couldn’t keep the royal heirs alive, but now you curse your sister? How could we have had a heartless wench like you?”Tears streamed do

The last thing I saw was Sebastian dropping the bowl of blood and lunging over to me. His gaze was shattered as he screamed my name. “Merione!”With another beep, the System sounded again. [Congratulations, User! You have successfully been extracted.

When the dizziness passed, my chest itched, and my breathing felt labored. I could not help but cough. Urgent beeping came from beside me. Then, I heard a familiar voice. “Meri, Meri! Doctor, come quickly! Merione’s awake! Please check if Merione’s really awake!“Meri, open your eyes. It’s Mom, Meri. Please, open your eyes and look at us!”Hot tears ran down my face. My eyelashes trembled, but I could not open my eyes at all. My hands were being held tightly, and warmth flooded through me. My eyelids were forced open, and light pierced me. “Her pupils a

After he said that, Sebastian carried Merione’s still-warm body back to his own chambers. A cool breeze blew past. Vasya stumbled and sprawled in a heap by the bed. The priest’s terrified, begging cries filled the air. Vasya did not bother to listen to them as she was trembling uncontrollably. Vasya had assumed that whatever affection Sebastian showed to Merione was born out of guilt and pity. After all, as the king, Sebastian always helped her hide her involvement in the deaths of Merione’s sons. He never even told her off for it. Yet, he was currently questioning her for Merione’s death and suspecting her of involvement. He was unreasonable in his fury. Vasya gradually and belatedly realized that Sebastian had fallen in love with Merione. He had fallen in love with someone who was not her!Vasya could not imagine what Sebastian would do to her if he found out this had been her scheme all along. Vasya was trembling as she had Runa bring her family over. She prayed

(Merione’s POV)I found out about everything that happened in Sebastian’s world through the System in a dream. Even the thought of all that had happened to me back then made me feel a hollow chill inside. I shook my head and forced all this to the back of my mind. There was no way Sebastian had any feelings for me. Even if he did have feelings for me, they were surely false. All he felt was the loss of a pet he had once liked. He was simply unused to the sudden change. There was no way a child murderer like him could feel love. In any case, I was very happy. If not for that dream, I would never have thought about the past. I took a deep breath. Just as I wanted to head outside for some air, someone knocked on my door. As I opened the door, there was a chime, and the System’s notification sounded.[Warning, ex-User!
