Chapter 98 Eating your Own Poison (2/2)

”Your majesty, I have no excuses to what I have done.” Bradford said respectfully. ”But I am prepared to take responsibility, your majesty. I have taken princess Veronica's chastity, therefore I will marry her and take her as my wife.”

”Noooo!!!” Veronica shouted. ”I won't marry you. I wont marry anyone other than crown prince Regaleon!”

Then a loud slap was heard. It was the king slapping Veronica very hard. This was nothing compared to the slap Veronica got from the queen. Her cheek instantly swelled and was red.

”F-Father?” Veronica looked at the king in surprise.

”Silence!” The king roared. ”You are still saying that while your chastity has been taken by another?”

The king knew what was going on. If Veronica still insisted to implicate prince Regaleon into this, then he was sure that Regaleon will investigate thoroughly what has conspired tonight.

King Edward knew that prince Regaleon knows what Veronica was up to. And what is in front of him now was the prince's pay back to his daughter.

This was considered still a lite punishment. If Veronica still insists on marrying prince Regaleon, he was afraid that the prince will do something even more sinister.

The king looked at Regaleon. The prince gave him a wicked smile. He knew that the prince was observing him, waiting for his decision.

King Edward knew that even though he doesn't want to dance in prince Regaleon's tune, he doesn't have a choice but follow. Veronica was still his daughter, even if he was dissatisfied with her now, he doesn't want her to be killed or even worse than death.

”Then I will give you my blessing.” King Edward looked at sir Bradford. ”You will marry my daughter Veronica.”

”Thank you for your blessings, your majesty.” Sir Bradford's head was still bowed down.

”No..no...nooo.” Veronica was crying silently. The queen was consoling her.

The king turned around. ”Minister Stanley.”

”Yes, your majesty.” Stanley bowed his head.

”Make sure this incident won't leak out.” The kind ordered. ”And prepare Veronica's wedding as soon as possible.”

”Yes.” Stanley walked out of the room in an instant.

King Edward looked at Veronica one last time. She was crying on the floor.

'You did that to yourself you foolish girl.' The king thought and walked out.

By the door the king saw prince Regaleon. He was wearing a wicked smile.

”You made the right choice your majesty.” Regaleon whispered when the king was right beside him. ”I won't tolerate anyone that bring's harm to me or my fiancee.”

The king understood and nodded. He walked away from the room.

Regaleon looked at the scene in front of him. The crying Veronica was being comforted by the queen and Elizabeth.

”Is this enough, your highness?” Dimitri asked.

”This is enough, for now.” Regaleon replied. ”She is still my sister-in-law. This is me giving her face. But if she does things against us again, I will make her life a living hell. She will be wishing she would rather be dead.”

Regaleon's face looked devilish. Dimitri knew that this was the face the crown prince wears when he is angered. No one has had a good ending when the prince wears such a face.
