"Ahhhhhh~ It hurts please stop, I beg you, your highness," A girl was crying and screaming in the room. There was a man in his mid-twenties running wild on that girl like a wild beast. His only striking feature was his red hair which is brighter than the fire itself. Even though the girl is crying there was no kindness or guilt in this man's eyes. His big build body was crushing the girl who was looking rather pitiful because of his bashings.
"Shut up, you should be thankful, I'm using the body of a low-born commoner like yours to satisfy myself," The red-haired man said arrogantly to the crying girl.
This girl is not a normal commoner like he said rather she was the second child of a baron family which send their daughter for an apprenticeship in the castle. It's the custom to send their child who isn't going to inherit the title for some work in the castle or some administration work in a Nobel territory.
Pete Sacredmore the current crown prince of the empire is the man who is committing all these evil deeds in his bed chamber. Even though he had the strength to be a valiant warrior, his behaviour is no different from a wild beast.
*KNOCK *KNOCK
"Who is disturbing me during this hour?" Pete shouted looking at the door.
"Your highness, I'm Gilmorton, Her highness send me here to inform you about the incident that is going to happen today," He said,
"Ohhh~ Mother sent you here, come inside," Gilmoroton entered the room slowly but he couldn't help but avert his eyes from the sight of what was happening there. There were bruises all over the girl's body. Her lifeless eyes were not a pleasant sight to look at so he avoided looking at them and continued,
"Your highness, everything is ready to carry out our plans according to your mother's wisdom. We will be attacking today at midnight" He said
"Haha at last I almost ran out of my patience waiting, Did mother tell you to do anything with that woman?" Pete asked narrowing his eyes.
"Yes your highness, she told us to kill everyone without leaving any shreds of evidence," Gilmorton said feeling guilty that he will have to do something he never in his wildest dream thought he will do.
"Don't kill that woman, Give her a little injury and bring her to me. I will show her what a real man is like," Pete said laughing maniacally.
"We can't do that prince, Her highness ordered us to finish them without leaving single evidence," Gilmorton wanted to refuse his order but Pete suddenly narrowed his eyes. He was clearly dissatisfied with how little they cared about his opinion.
"Are you going against my order, I told you to bring her to me without killing, after I become the emperor you won't have a good life if you go against my order?" He said glaring at Gilmorton.
"Yes, your highness" Gilmorton helplessly nodded his head and left the room without giving another look at Pete.
Right after he left the room the sound of flesh clashing was heard again in the room but unlike earlier, the girl was silent the whole time.
*Tsk
"If not for the Queen Malfoy, I wouldn't even think about siding with this human garbage, whatever I'll just do my job, I don't know when I became this pathetic to kill a newborn baby," He thought inwardly smiling mindlessly.
Daphnia POV
I was happily looking at my two children's behaviour. Even though Delvi is the big sister she always acts like a child when playing with Veli but comparatively, Veli looks all grown up and plays along with his big sister without crying. Veli never cried even after the nurse hit his cute butt. While I was thinking all these things Lyra suddenly came running toward me shouting,
"Mother, what we suspected is happening we quickly need to leave the castle," She said while trying to catch her breath.
My face went pale hearing this I knew something like this will happen but I didn't think that it will come this fast.
*Sigh
What is that useless man doing, letting others act like this without doing anything. I knew that he will be of no help to us but I didn't think he will be this useless. The only thing he is good at is discriminating against other races and bullying innocent people.
"Lyra, did you see the emperor? Where is he?" I asked quickly because from now on every second matters.
"Mother, I heard servants talking about how Emperor and Queen Andriya is in the emperor's bed chamber," She said.
"Hah, what is she doing with that impotent man in his bed chamber," I thought silently.
"Oh! Now I understand why he became weaker and weaker than before, That bitch must have used some drug or something,"
Well, I don't care even if he died but I have to protect my three kids from those people.
All of this started even before I give birth to the little Veli. I was forced to marry that man by my family. Since I was from the Bersa Duke family of the empire. There were four ducal families here but our family was one of the most powerful families in the empire.
Bersa Ducal family is one of the major supporters of the crown. This is a family which produced many geniuses over and over again in history, so they obviously have more status than most of the Ducal houses in the empire. I was given the title of the second queen of the empire after my arranged marriage. The first queen was the princess of the Malfoy kingdom. She was Artificials old Queen having a child 2 years younger than me. I hated my fate to be a political tool for my family but still, I couldn't go against my father because I didn't want to hurt my mother by going against the family.
After our marriage during our first night, I was disgusted to be with that man in his bed but to my surprise, I got to know that he is impotent I was relieved to hear this fact. I had to go for an artificial pregnancy using his sperm. Luckily they had stored some of his genes using magic otherwise I would have to do something unthinkable and disgusting.
I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl with red hair, that was the only moment I was happy about this whole forced marriage but my ducal family was not happy with a daughter. They wanted me to give birth to a male, Even though they are my family, I hate them to the core of my existence.
First, they forced me a marriage with a man who is double my age then they start to criticise me and my child for being a girl. The only reason I go with all this forced marriage is because of my mother. She is the only person I adore in my family.
I am quite strong for my age reaching A rank at the age of 18 thanks to my adventuring experience but still, I had to do this marriage for the sake of my mother.
