490 Suffer (2/2)

”You useless thing!” Marquis Qin roughly stomped on the servant with each word he uttered. He continued kicking the servant to a pulp, until his large body was heaving for air and his breathing became labored.

The innocent servant laid sprawled on the ground, unmoving and dead. His face was disfigured with bruises and blood. Even his own mother would not recognize his mangled state.

Marquis Qin's anger did not go away. The sight of the servant pissed him even more.

All of his ship crew, dead. All of his ships were useless if there was no one to sail it. And the Marquis did not have time to train new sailors or hire trustable ones that would not flee with his ship.

Marquis Qin's entire body trembled with fury. The Crown Princess was bankrupting him with this request of hers. All of his hard work, all of his acquired wealth, it was beginning to diminish before his very own eyes.

How did she know the foreign Kingdom would be so unwelcoming towards visitors? How did she know his men would return dead or poisoned? Was this intentional? Or was it just a coincidence?

”Death by disembowelment…” he growled under his breath.

Marquis Qin clenched his fingers into a fist. It was not like the Marquis had ever wronged her. Their first encounter was in the Palace, where he had treated her with grace and respect. He had been kind to her, been grateful for her audience, and even wasted his own money to give her a gift.

There was no way she would harbor this much hatred for him. If that was the case, then why was she so cruel? Death by self disembowelment…where did she learn to be this cruel?

Who taught her to be such a bitch?

”Impossible!” Marquis Qin furrowed out. How could he have been bested by a stupid little girl? How could he have allowed himself to be played like a damn instrument?

She was just a girl. She was just a woman who opened her legs to the right person and gained power from it.

That useless tool for breeding had actually hurt his business like this. ”That whore,” he hissed.

Marquis Qin glowered at the lifeless servant at his feet. He rammed his shoe into the servant's stomach and sent the rag-doll flying towards a bookshelf.

No wonder Lady Ge Beining bought that aphrodisiac. It must've been used to ruin that vermin of a Crown Princess. His lips curled into a snarl. He should've mixed poison into the aphrodisiac, killing two birds with one stone.

”All of my hard work…gone just like that!” Marquis Qin roared. He picked up a shard from the ground and angrily threw it at the servant. Again and again, he picked up things to toss at the lifeless body. He did everything to quell his rage, but nothing worked.

Marquis Qin glanced at the servant one last time before storming out of his bedroom. It was the middle of the night, but he needed to vent his rage on an unsuspecting concubine. And he knew exactly which one. There was a concubine he had taken from Wuyi.

She would suffer for being born in the same country as the Princess.

”How dare she do this to me,” Marquis Qin snarled under his breath. ”How dare I let a wench like her affect my business and resources like this.”

Marquis Qin decided that tonight, that concubine would be his toy. He was going to do everything to her that he wished to do the Crown Princess. It did not matter anyway. The concubine didn't have a single family in Hanjian. Even if she was tossed into the river, no one would bat an eye.

And he desperately wished the Crown Princess would suffer to that extent.
