C178

The door of the dungeon was suddenly opened, and the little king's steward came trembling into the room. As soon as he entered, he could smell the thick stench of blood in the room.

These days, the maids in the palace were always missing for no reason. In fact, they were all captured by the charming lady. The charming lady turned them all into one, locked them in the dark cell, and tortured them to death.

The housekeeper knew that Madam Mei's mental state had gone insane. She refused to perform any psychotherapy and threw away all the tranquilizing drugs prescribed by the doctors. This caused her mental illness to become more and more serious, and her method of killing people became more and more cruel.

If it weren't for the little king, the butler wouldn't have dared to step into the prison at all, and the old king's steward was poisoned to death by the charming lady. He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would end up like the old king's steward.

The steward walked to the side of the lady and said with a trembling voice, "Husband …" Madam … The little king said that the maid who served him had been lost and wanted to ask your ladyship personally about her whereabouts. "

She heard the butler's words clearly, then suddenly smiled and pointed at the woman she had tied to the pillar with a chain. She asked, "Are you talking about this woman?"

The housekeeper looked in the direction that the madam's finger was pointing at and was so frightened that his three spirits had all disappeared. The woman's face had long since been ruined, and her entire body was covered in bright red blood. She looked like a living person covered in blood.

The steward began to tremble and replied, "This... This... I... I can't confirm... What the little king said... Is it this woman? "

The charming lady got up from the cold ground, took up her snow-white handkerchief and wiped her hands, "It doesn't matter if it's this woman, it's not this woman. I hope that you can keep everything you see here to yourself, and that if I hear even the slightest bit of news about you in the palace, I can guarantee that your fate will be even worse than hers."

The butler sat down on the ground and nodded his head: "Madam, please rest assured that I haven't seen anything today. I won't leak a single word outside."

Madam Mei smiled and nodded. "Very good."

The charming lady opened the door of the dungeon and walked out. The butler followed closely behind her. The door of the dungeon instantly closed, isolating the entire room from the stench of blood.

"From tomorrow onwards, without my permission, no one is allowed to enter the Dark Prison, even if you have the orders from the little king!"

Everyone knew that the little king was only a puppet king, and that the real ruler of the palace was the charming lady. No one dared to resist her orders, so everyone replied, "Yes."

Lady Charming pushed open the door of the little king's bedroom and saw the little king lying on his bed. The little king was a teenager, very handsome, like a prince in a comic book, but his face was very pale.

"Edward, are you feeling better? I asked the maid to make you some millet porridge. You should get some sleep first."

Edward's breath was a bit unstable. He stared at the charming couple with deep blue eyes and said, "Mother, how about the maid who has been taking care of me all this time? Why haven't I seen her these days? "

The lady picked up the porridge on the table, scooped a spoonful of it with her spoon and blew on it. She then brought it to Edward's mouth and said, "You're sick. You need to recuperate. Have some porridge first."

"Mother, answer me. Where is the maid? Don't deliberately change the subject."

"She wanted to seduce you with her good looks, but I've already chased her out of the palace," the charming lady said flatly.

Edward was so angry that his face turned red. He raised his voice: "I don't believe you. Did you take her to the prison?" What the hell is that dungeon of yours for? Why is there always a maid missing? Mother, did you kill them? "

She put the porridge back on the table, and there was a hint of menace in her voice, "Edward, you've crossed the line. Is this something you can question as a son? I am your mother, who gave you the guts to question me? "

Fear flashed in Edward's eyes, "Mother, how could you do that? They are all living human lives. What did they do wrong? What are you going to do to them? Do you know that's against the law? "

The charming lady revealed a disdainful smile, "You are wrong, they are just lowly maids. In my eyes, they are like ants. To know the law is against the law, and that is to say to ordinary citizens. Here, there is no law, because I am the law of this country, and as long as I have enough power, no one will dare question you. "

Edward looked at the lady's ice-cold expression and lost control of his emotions. He raised his voice, "As the king of this country, I won't allow you to do this. You must stop your recent actions!"

The charming lady looked at her son and suddenly began to laugh loudly. After laughing for a while, her gaze became even colder and she said, "You're simply a joke. How old are you to dare yell at me when you're the king? I tell you, I was the one who brought you to the throne. Without the people I killed for you, do you think this king would have been able to take you on? Don't daydream, never forget your own identity. "

"You are just an illegitimate child I gave birth to through an affair. You are just like me, the blood in your bones is cold, take back that little bit of your ridiculous justice, and don't act so noble in front of me. Although I am your mother, I have to remind you that if I can make you king, I have my ways to drive you out of this position, and it's best if you don't do anything that would anger me.

He simply couldn't believe that his mother would say such a thing to him. He thought that his mother was just a bit colder, but he didn't think that she would only use him as a tool to consolidate her power. Even his birth had been planned beforehand.
