Imperial Palace..

"What's? Marquess Ahen is a murderer? Did I not hear wrong?"

"Is that woman making it up? But, she is the woman who was made the main witness by His Majesty right now."

Ranting was heard from inside the palace. It was because Diana revealed that Marquess Ahen was the perpetrator of her daughter's murder.

"Don't accuse me!" the circus Marquess Ahen was still firm about his stance.

But this time, no one believed that person anymore. To everyone, Marquess Ahen was simply the burden of the empire right now. Whether he was right to commit a crime or not, most importantly his reputation was already very bad.

Diana stared at Zac at a glance, the woman again raised her voice, "Baginda, may I teach her a lesson now? After that, you can do anything to her." said Diana with her head slightly lowered.

"Do what you want, Baroness" said Zac, nodding lightly. It didn't matter to him if Diana gave the man a lesson. After all, the victims here are women including Rubby and Diana.

Diana was silent for a moment, her hands clenched for a moment, she brushed away the strength of her dress and tried to hold back the tears. He did not want to look weak to beat up the perpetrator of the murder of his daughter.

The killer is still the killer. You don't deserve to live in this world. Diana was deep, biting her lower lip rough so that a single splash of blood dripped from her lips.

...

THE PLAQUE!

"This is a slap because YOU've ENSLAVED THE WOMEN!"

THE PLAQUE!

"THIS IS A SLAP BECAUSE YOU'VE INSULTED THE EMPRESS."

THE PLAQUE!

"And the last one..." Diana was silent for a moment, her heart suddenly felt pain, even her heart seemed to stop beating.

"This is a slap..."

"BECAUSE YOU KILLED MY DAUGHTER, VIONA."

No matter what everyone thinks of him. Now, in the presence of many, he only wanted to teach a lesson in all that had happened because of Marques Ahen. In fact, a slap is not the price of everything the man has done. Many lives were lost, and women were treated at will.

The nobles were whispering again, there were also those who were laughing in satisfaction because Marquess Ahen was being treated contemptuously this time, just as he usually treated others.

Grttt.. Marquess Ahen bit her lower lip, a feeling of annoyance as well as embarrassment mixed into one. Yet he could only bow weakly in the presence of many people.

After being satisfied with slapping Marquess Ahen, Diana returned to her original place. A slight sense of relief appeared in his heart's mind. At least he was relieved to beat up a murderer from his daughter. Yes, even though it still can not pay for the lives that have been lost.

The crowd began to fade with time, as the night was also late, so Zac ordered the nobles to leave the Palace.

Then now, only Rubby, Diana, and the women were found in a room hidden in the ground and made slaves by Marquess Ahen.

But still, the women were still silent with their heads bowed. Their faces looked gloomy, and their bodies still trembled slightly. There were even some of them who played their nails so bloody.

Rubby clenched his hands for a moment, the woman then exhaled a rough breath. "I'll only give him a sentence of exile if you keep quiet" Rubby exclaimed with emphasis. The alienation? of course it's too easy to teach a killer a lesson and a man who has the heart to torture women.

The women then raised their chin, now Rubby can see clearly their faces, and of course many of them have scars on their faces.

The deg!

"Faces.." Rubby muttered softly. Both of his eyes were wide open.

While Zac is aware of it, he then pulls Rubby's shoulder to face him, he does not have the heart if Rubby has to see the faces of the woman who may be said to be very scary, yes, like a curse. Many parts are torn and damaged, it is not worth it if they are called okay.

"Baginda, what are you doing-"

"Shttt! Don't look, Rubby." said Zac worriedly. But Rubby quickly shook his head, he took off Zac's hand which was still on his shoulder. "I'm fine, really." Rubby smiled.

Rubby clasped Zac's hand and took a small look, hinting not to think about the woman's face. "I'm a woman, did you forget?" rubby. He changed his style of language to be more relaxed, who used to speak my formal language, now me.

"Ma.pardon us." the women looked down again, thinking that their faces were like monsters. But it's not all their fault. Every woman must have a beautiful face, and what caused those injuries was not them, but Marquess Ahen the sinner, ah, maybe even better if you say so.

Rubby approached the women, grasping their fingers and uniting them. "Don't worry, I'm a woman, and I understand how you feel" Rubby smiled. "Tell me, what is the appropriate punishment for a sinner like that?" now, Rubby's speech is turning more serious. He looked closely at the faces of those who had returned.

The women looked at each other, they then gave a small nod, and one of them raised a voice. "We want her lost in this world, Sire" one of the women told Rubby. Disappear? Rubby was silent for a moment, it didn't take long for him to understand.

Rubby nodded in understanding, the woman turned around and looked back at the already weak Marquess Ahen helplessly. "Baginda, I would like to.. submit a death sentence request for Marquess Ahen, can... The trial be conducted tomorrow?" rubby asked with eyes that stared intently forward, and beside that, Diana opened her eyes wide. It is quite surprising if a woman with a soft face like Rubby now says firmly, she does not even hesitate to say a big punishment related to 'blood'.

Rubby raised the corner of his lips, he saw Diana who was still shocked by the words he just uttered. "Don't be surprised, aunt. Since I am also an adult, I have considered it carefully." exclaimed Rubby who made Diana only nod slowly but speechless.

"W-what? Your majesty! Please forgive me! Sa. I'd be willing if my title was revoked, but if the death penalty was then-"

"Stop rambling, your voice makes me sick." Zac cut off Marquess Ahen's words, he looked at the man with a cold gaze and turned to look at Rubby. "I'll have Edward prepare it, just tomorrow." Zac stressed.

"Sir Ethan.." Zac stared into the net eye of Ethan who was still standing there. Yes, in addition to Rubby, Diana, Zac, and also the former women enslaved, do not forget Ethan who is still loyal to be beside Rubby to take care of his mistress.

"I'm going to take him to the basement, Sire." needless to say, Ethan seemed to understand Zac's gaze hinting at many of those things. Ethan bends his body slightly and pulls Marquess Ahen's wrist to be taken to the dungeon, a narrow, dark room, just like Marquess Ahen enslaving the women he put in prison bars.

"Ha..hah.." Diana's legs weakened, she was already quite tired today. The woman clenched her forehead for a moment. "Let me take my aunt to her room" Rubby told Zac, who was still standing there, the man gave a small nod.

"You also rest" said Zac sighing. He had his own temple in effect because he was also quite tired of taking care of Marquess Ahen's case.

"Eum, Sire, what about these women?" Rubby whispered softly.

"I'll have the guards put them in a decent place, calm down, don't worry." said Zac who slightly smiled at his face, it made Rubby a little relieved. "Until we meet tomorrow, Sire" Rubby smiled faintly. The woman then turned around to escort the drowning Diana to her room.

Meanwhile, no matter when the rain came back to wet the palace. Zac took a deep breath and exhaled.

The rain?

For some reason Zac's feelings became uneasy, a sense of tightness rumbled in his heart. "That's it," Zac decided to turn around and take his eyes off the raindrop he saw through the window.
