Everyone held their breath as they watched Duke Rudwick raise his sword at his first son. His wife tried to stop him but that didn’t stop him.

“Tell me… what’s stopping me from killing you under the military law?”

He muttered in a chillingly cold voice.

He sent his son to save you and protect the king, you… his second wife.

Instead, his son only saved his lover and left you as a hostage.

His recklessness caused the king’s imminent death, you’re now bedridden while the doctors don’t even know your condition.

Even if you’re his second wife, you’re very important to him.
