Chapter 221: We Have a Traitor Among US (1/2)
“It’s not a matter of appearances…it’s…you won’t understand…“ Anmi paused for second before staring at the ceiling full of hanging fish bones as if there was something be found there.

“What’s the problem?” I suddenly had a bad feeling about this whole situation, and it was getting worse by the second along with my unease.
Ignoring my question, Anmi threw a pleading look at the Eldest Prince, Weiderly: “…Weiderly, if you let me go this time, the next time I’ll…”
“You help me now or I’ll tell my little sister.” With that, Anmi caved in and a triumphant smile graced the lips of Weiderly: “Choose one, those are the only two choices I’ll give you.”
“Weiderly! Don’t push this cat too far!”
“I dare you to try and kill me then.” Weiderly rolled his eyes at the raging cat, clearly not paying any heed to his murderous intent.

Just as Anmi’s murderous intent was about to burst forth however, the hidden elder spoke up and warned the furious cat: “Anmi, rein in that aura of yours, we permit you to force him into submission but we won’t allow you to harm him.”
“…” From the looks of things, the one who was driven into a corner wasn’t the Eldest Prince but rather Anmi…
“Well then Anmi, what’s your answer?” The Eldest Prince smiled as he sat atop his platform. Judging from his confident expression, he must’ve already predicted that Anmi would never marry the princess. At the same time, he knew that should he bring up the whole matter of that betrothal, the Princess would definitely force Anmi into a marriage? That was roughly the whole situation as of right now. The biggest question however was why was he so adamantly against marrying the Princess?
While I might have only seen her once, I honestly didn’t see a reason for him to hate her so much.
“Anmi, if it’s not convenient for you to act, you can just leave this matter to us.” In the midst of his hesitation, I took a couple steps forward and stood between him and Weiderly: “As long as I don’t cause him any lasting harm, the Elders’ Consortium won’t interfere, right?”
“That’s right, as long as you do not cripple or kill him, we won’t interfere, however, try not to hit him too hard.” An unknown elder answered in a teasing tone.
“All right, even without crippling or killing him, I have a ton of methods that will make him regret ever being alive. Even for a cat, they should work.”

“…stay away, nyahh…what the hell is that twisted smile supposed to mean…Anmi save me…save me…” Perhaps it was because my smile was a little demonic at the moment, but the instant I took a step forward, the Prince cringed back in horror, retreating step by step until finally he reached the end of the platform. Yet for some strange reason, even though he was clearly terrified of me, he never once thought of jumping off that platform.
Speaking of which, I wasn’t kidding when I said I knew a ton of torture methods. The Ten Great Manchurian Torture Methods and what not, I knew them all; the internet was full of information on that subject after all. With nothing much to do back then, I took a quick look and then branched off even further. While I might have not remembered all of them, I could say with confidence in my heart that my arsenal was still quite full and ready for the Prince, should he be so foolish.
“You fiends! Don’t you know I’m one of the candidates for Cat King, representing the pride and dignity of our clan…to think you all will actually sit idly by and watch me get tortured by an outsider…where is your sense of decency? Your sense of honor? Have they all been eaten up by dogs?!”
“Your Highness, I don’t remember any dogs offending you.” Sinmosa glared at the Prince before turning to face me: “Mister Mo Ke, if it’s not too troublesome for you, how about leaving this chore to me instead, with regards to such methods, I’m glad to say that I know a few as well.”
“Noo…don’t hit me…nyahhh…”
In the midst of all that, the elders began their own discussion as well: “Is it really alright for us to watch him get tortured?”
“But the rules clearly state that as long as he doesn’t suffer too much harm, we mustn’t interfere, besides…”
“It’s rather fun to watch him get abused.”
“Mhm, mhm.”
“What a coincidence, I feel the same way as well nyah.”
‘With elders like that…all I can say is…best of luck, Your Highness.’
