The moonlight was like frost as it enveloped the majestic imperial palace in a layer of frigidity. The dew that fell on
the steps gave off a touch of chill.
Carmella stood in the center of the hall with her eyes cast down. Her expressionless face was stiff with a
determined indifference.
It was all over, and talking about it was futile.
The only thing she cared about was Martin. If Martin did not trust her, was repulsed by her, and loathed her, then
her world would lose all its radiance.
Carmella spoke softly after a long silence. “Your Majesty, are you hungry?
“I remember you used to like the raspberry cake I make. Shall I make some for you now?”
“You don’t have to bother.” Martin’s voice was hoarse as he slowly turned around. “You probably don’t know that I
don’t like that kind of overly sweet stuff… It’s you who always thought you knew best!”
Carmella’s eyes dimmed, and she clenched her hands tightly.
Martin looked at her, his commanding expression jolting her.

loving me!”
“Martin—”
“I admit that I was blinded when it came to the throne back then!” Martin was regretful. “Helene made a mistake,
and as her older brother, I should have helped her. Instead, I selfishly harmed her!”
Martin approached her step by step, his imposing aura fierce and chilling. “Carmella, I thought that… you’d treat
that child kindly! I thought you’d really hand her over to a lawyer couple for adoption!
“I never expected that you not only harmed that child but you also harmed Helene!”
Carmella’s knees weakened, and she fell to the ground with a thud, looking dazed.
In a trance, she seemed to have returned to the day when she first met Martin. She was 14 years old, dressed
festively to the palace to participate in the National Day ceremony. She saw the prince standing in the center of the
crowd, shining like the sun, right away.
With just that one glance, she was fixated for life.
“Your Majesty…” Carmella let out a bitter smile, murmuring softly, “Since the day I married you, I’ve sworn to clear
all obstacles for you. I want to make you a true king…
“Because I can never forget the way you shone among the crowds when I saw you at the age of 14.
“I swore to guard and protect you for life. I wanted to help you extend this glory forever—”
“Shut up!” Martin roared, veins bulging on his forehead. “You’re a monster!”
“A monster?” Carmella sneered. “Which monster would treat you so well? Which monster would plan things out so
thoroughly for you?”
“You…”
“Your Majesty, you can’t do without me, can you?” Carmella’s gaze changed. There was a hint of madness. She
suddenly stood up from the ground, grabbing Martin’s collar. “I’m your wife, the queen of Southeast Aciatic! You
said… You once said in front of many foreign diplomats that I’m your virtuous wife!”
“Get out!” Martin could not take it anymore.
He wanted to shake Carmella off, but she was surprisingly strong. The two of them were tangled together, and
Carmella was grabbing him almost in a frenzy, her facial features twisted like a demon.
“You won’t leave me! You won’t!” she screamed hoarsely. “Martin, you love me, and I love you too… We’re

“You lunatic! You’re crazy!” Martin grabbed her wrist and flung her away with force.
Carmella let out a scream as she hit the floor vase standing in the corner of the wall heavily, her head bleeding
instantly.
The guards rushed in. However, no one dared to speak, seeing Martin in a rage, and they held their breath as they
looked at him.
“Your Majesty…”
“Head out first. Leave it to me!” Another authoritative voice sounded. There was also the heavy sound of military
boots treading on the floor.
Martin looked up and saw Noah standing in the hall in his military uniform with a sharp and cold gaze.
Noah was accompanied by four to five people, all elite soldiers who had followed him for many years. He saluted
Martin, and his sharp eyes fell on the woman slumped on the floor.
“Your Majesty,” Noah said in a deep voice. “Her Majesty has private possession of drugs and plotted against
Princess Helene. Numerous charges have been confirmed. She can now be officially handed over to the judicial
authorities.”
