Chapter 147 Torture 1 (1/2)

(Regaleon's POV)

Darkness has enveloped the outside as the night had fallen. Erica was inside a dimly lit room, strapped on a chair. She was still sleeping because of the drug.

”Wake her up.” I told Dimitri.

”Yes.” Dimitri bowed. He took a vial from his pocket and walked towards where Erica was seated.

Dimitri opened the vial and put it under Erica's nose. Not long, Erica gasped awake.

”W-Where am I?” Erica was still visibly disoriented, looking around the room.

”My queen, are you awake now?” I hooked one side of my mouth up.

”P-Prince Regaleon…you..” Erica stammered.

”Do you remember what happened?” I asked nonchalantly.

Erica was visibly distraught. I knew she was now panicking internally. She thought that she was saved by me but in fact it was the opposite. She tried to move but saw that her whole body was strapped on a chair.

”What is the meaning of this?!” Erica roared.

”What do you think is it, queen?” I replied with a smile.

”How dare you, do this to me?!” Erica yelled.

”Oh, I do dare.” I looked at her with coldness.

Erica looked around her and saw Dimitri wearing his shadow guard uniform with his faced concealed. This shocked Erica.

”You… you were the one that ordered to attack my convoy?” Erica asked in disbelief.

”I see you are still clever, your grace.” I said sarcastically.

”Why are you doing this?” Erica asked still in disbelief. ”What have I ever done to you? Answer me!”

I look at her with anger building up inside of me. She asks me such questions. Doesn't she know what she has done to Alicia?

”You ask me this. Do you not know what you have done or have you forgotten?” I asked her with such cold tone.

Erica was stunned with my reply. ”This has nothing to do with you crown prince of Grandcrest. This is our family's affair. You have no part in this.”

I scoffed on her words. ”Nothing to do with me? Family's affair?” I asked with coldness. ”Have you forgotten who you tried to kill, Queen Erica?”

Erica looked at me as if she is not getting the meaning of my words.

”The one that you have wrong since from the start was my fiancée and future wife. By the time she became my bride to be, everything about her concerns me. Even if it was her past grievances, I am sure to get revenge for her, as she is the future crown princess of Grandcrest.” I said these words with such authority.

Erica shrank feeling my imposing aura. I know that she can clearly see my inner rage.
