The Right Timing (2)

She knew this day would come someday. Liliana always thought that the day would come when she died at the hands of her father. She didn’t know why she had such a fear.

Since the death of her mother and the discovery that her father was involved in her death, Liliana had always feared the Marquis of Wenson.

“Stupid! Do you know what the hell you have done? Fooled by the filthy mixed race! You betrayed your family, you betrayed your father!”

When Kian’s description left his lips, Liliana came to her senses. She couldn’t die without him. She knew happiness for the first time when Kian held her in his arms.

Now… I have to stay still.

“She was planning from the start! Rowena had her knight seduce you!”

The Marquis of Wenson poured out groundless words, but Liliana just lowered her eyes. Liliana dated Kian long before Rowena was nominated for the crown princess.

In addition, even if Kian was given hundreds of millions, he wasn’t in the mood to seduce anyone.

She wanted to tell him that, but if she said that right away, she thought he would hurt a child who might be in her stomach.

“Suin people? What would anyone else think when you’re together with that filthy guy! How can people see this!”

An assassin was sent to Kian to hide it, but Kian didn’t appear to be dead.

“You seem foolish and stupid…”

Marquis Wenson turned his back on Liliana, who was held in the arms of the maids without saying anything. Liliana couldn’t breathe much and was only looking at his face.

“Take her to her room and lock her up! We’ll leave in the afternoon!”

At the Marquis’s order, the maids led Liliana to the front door. Liliana’s body stretched with tiredness and pain. She didn’t think she could last long.

Kernan thought he was the unhappiest man in the world. The same prison had eight men and several men who had seriously injured him.

Addicted to an aphrodisiac, they committed violence against each other. The resistance was formidable, so there were people who recklessly shoved it into someone’s mouth and got it cut off.

Even with treatment, the man had lost his manhood.

The wound itself was severe, so he couldn’t get up with his back straight.

The fact was that Kernan, who had been subjected to terrible things by eight arrogant men, couldn’t wake up. His bleeding was internal, so it was difficult to stop it.

He was on the verge of dying twice within a matter of days. The first time was due to excessive bleeding and infection of the wound, and the second time was while being tortured by the emperor’s officials.

Damn! Am I the only one who’s wrong?! A girl from a low-key noble family becomes the Crown Princess!

Even though he suffered the injuries he had planned and tried to inflict on others, Kernan felt it was unfair. It was Emilia who had instigated to harm Rowena.

He just came up with a plan.

Why am I so unlucky…?

If he could get out of this prison alive, he would never touch the imperial business again. He thought it was simple because Rowena was a girl of a boring family, but she was caught in this situation due to the intervention of the imperial family.

Nothing would have happened if he didn’t join hands with Emilia and turned his back on the stupid low-class aristocrat as usual. He tried to rise in status by threatening a big fish, but it turned out to be this way.

“It’s food.”

The guard came and laid down two wooden bins containing stacked bowls and food. One barrel contained hard bread like a stone, and the other contained a thin vegetable soup.

When the food was put down, all the prisoners in the room rushed in. Kernan also forced his sick body to reach out for food.

The guard, who was standing by the wooden barrels containing the bread, beat down with a club those who tried to take the second or third loaves. It didn’t matter if they starved or not, but if they die before executing the sentence, they have to write a written apology.

“Uwak! Argh!”

At least, the guard paid such attention only once a day.

Having managed to get his share of bread and soup, Kernan hurriedly put it into his mouth. The guard turned away when he saw that all the food had been served to the prisoners.

When Kernan saw it, he paused and opened his mouth.

“G-guard!”

“What’s going on?”

The guard asked, fiddling with the stick in his hand. The guards knew that Kernan and his gang were caught trying to harm the imperial family, so his treatment was particularly harsh. It was because they were worried that if they treated the sinners who hurt the imperial family well, there would be a problem.

“I heard that the festival started… When will it be over?”

“It is said that they left for exile to the southern island early on. The only people left in the capital were the people of the Kernen family, the Marquis of Hassler, and the Count of Otis. Some trials are ongoing, but punishment has been postponed until after the wedding.”
