"P-Please, have mercy...""W-We will n-never do it again...""Please...""H-Help us..."Rovir ignores the pained moans and cries of those people tied in separate chairs inside the ice prison. Only eight people are still alive. The others died just a few seconds ago after the General Commander stabbed her sword into their necks and chests. They were killed brutally but Sir Gabriel, who is standing at the corner and waiting for his General's orders, thinks those people are very lucky to die early at this point.As for the remaining eight people alive, they will surely suffer more now that General Commander Rovira personally visited them. No one can stop her now even if Sir Gabriel tries to ask him not to kill them. And besides, the Vice General thinks his neck is more important than these vicious criminals."P-Please, give mercy to us! W-We will never do it again.""W-We will change... Just let u-us go...""Please don't hurt us! I-I don't want to die yet!""J-Just let us go. We a-are go

She let out a sigh before rolling her neck. Prince Marius sits on the vacant chair next to her. When he snaps his fingers, the curtains on his windows close."You cannot use your magic anytime," she warned him."I know, I know. I am just too lazy to stand up and close it by myself." Prince Marius defended himself. "Anyway, you can remove your ring in the meantime."When the General Commander did not say anything, the Crown Prince let out a sigh."Don't worry. No one will dare to enter my office without my permission. I just want to feel relaxed. That's all."The female General stares at him for a moment. But she soon shakes her head before removing the ring on her thumb. In an instant, her chestnut hair and onyx eyes return to their original colors. After that, she

But she was specifically kind towards the princess and Charlotte.When her son told them the truth, Empress Veronica blamed herself for their misfortune. If only she brought her children on their trip, those horrible things would never happen to them.

Emperor Halil admitted that he was quite surprised to see a child like her. Although her body was small and thin, Charlotte's eyes were something very familiar to him.

As expected, Emperor Halil told them not to tell others about their abilities. Aside from the fact that they didn't know exactly how these things happen, they also don't want to arouse the nobles' suspicion towards the twins. The people were already unsatisfied with their Crown Prince who they haven't seen for years now thinking he was not willing to go back to their empire yet.
