Son of Light 14
Zes, who had just arrived, did not dare to offend the princess in front of him, so he had to suppress his anger and accompany this simple princess to play boring flower arranging for an afternoon. Before leaving, Hill told him with a smile on her holy and incomparable face.
"I like you very much. We will meet again."
And things seemed to have come true. The emperor openly announced at his investiture ceremony that he would marry Princess Hill to him. This was a bolt from the blue, both for him and for others. Zeth was attacked by tens of thousands of fanatical people from the capital who were greedy for Hill, and even lost his life several times. Hill forced him to break up his engagement with Denise and almost killed him.
He was the first to become the target of Zeth's resentment. He once opposed and hated his marriage, and strongly stated that he already had a gentle and lovely fiancée.
The emperor promised a large amount of wealth to the princess, but did not give Zes a penny. Perhaps the suppression from the emperor was too obvious. After weighing the pros and cons, Zes had no choice but to compromise. He could not look at Denise's crystal eyes filled with tears, nor was he kind to Hill who could not bring him any benefits. The royal order to reproduce offspring was just a routine matter to him.
If a stagnant marriage was such a failure and could not be changed, Zes felt that he was fully prepared. A life with a foreseeable end was not unbearable, as long as the territory was safe enough. However, what happened next became more and more unexpected, and even made him want to kill.
That was the fifth year after they got married, when their relationship was getting colder and colder. That day, he ran into Hill making Denise kneel on the ground and massage her legs. When she saw his angry expression, she greeted him very calmly and asked him in confusion what happened.
What happened? Huh, first of all, he had to calm down. A mere baron's daughter was not even worthy of carrying the princess's shoes. It should be an honor for Denise to have Hill's legs massaged, so he had to suppress his anger, even though Denise was already pregnant with their child.
Zes responded coldly with a few words and left. On the way back, the more he thought of Denise's pleading eyes, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart. He couldn't help but run to the training ground to practice sword frantically.
While practicing swordplay, he thought carefully about his married life in the past few years. In fact, having a beautiful wife was not a good thing. Even if he tried his best to strive for fame and made the swordsmanship family Sadria famous throughout the continent, it was still not as deterrent as the royal family in the Frey Empire. Everyone would say that he relied on the royal family to lead the troops to fight. Having a princess with a good reputation among the people as his wife made it easy for Sadria to recruit troops from abroad.
Ordinary people only yearn for the princess, but his colleagues don't think so. Even as a princess, many nobles covet her body, and this is often what Zeth hates the most.
Although he knew that Princess Hill did nothing wrong, his humble self-esteem always got in the way, and a big quarrel was inevitable after he returned. Usually, he was the one venting his anger hysterically, while Hill sat beside him, looking at him gently, handing him a glass of water when he was thirsty and apologizing very sincerely.
Zes always feels powerless when facing such situations. He feels like a woman, always chattering about all this to his partner, but his partner does not take it seriously. The quarrels often end unilaterally, and Zes will go to Denise for comfort. The two of them are like cats that steal fish, hiding in a straw hut where no one finds them, and doing it again and again.
Zeth put down the sword in his hand, and at this time heavy rain began to fall from the sky, soaking Zeth's angry heart. He threw away the sword dejectedly and asked the servant beside him to hand him a dry towel. Before he could wipe the rain off his hair, a sharp scream came from the back garden.
It was Denise's voice. Zes's pupils shrank, and he pushed the servant away and ran forward. When he arrived, his hands began to tremble violently uncontrollably.
Because Hill was holding a pair of scissors and stabbing Denise's stomach frantically. Blood flowed down Denise's skirt and merged with the rain to form a horrible blood stream. Several servants surrounded her and tried their best to stop Hill's actions. Denise's voice gradually became low, and she couldn't help but shed tears when she saw Zes coming.
She whispered with trembling lips, "Save me."
"Boom!" A huge roar came from the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder. In the faint gap, Zes's expression became extremely ferocious. He walked closer in two steps, snatched the scissors from Hill's hand, hugged Denise in his arms, used magic to cover the bloody holes on her body, and roared at Hill, asking her what she was doing.
At this moment, the empire's most dazzling jewel, Her Royal Highness Princess Hill, was also in a state of dismay. She hung her head in silence for a long time before she looked up with a hint of fatigue and said, "Until the wife has borne children, a mistress cannot bear children. Zeth, I hope you understand my difficulties."
In the heavy rain, her figure was very thin, her pale face was like a ghost, and her emerald eyes emitted a faint light like that of a wild beast.
She knew it all along! She knew Denise was pregnant with my child!
She did it on purpose!
She is abnormal!
She's a monster!
'Boom' 'Boom' His heart was beating violently in his body. Looking at the woman in front of him, at this moment, Zeth's fear of her reached its peak.
From then on, Zeth was always suspicious of her, and Ciel didn't seem to notice that her husband had become even stranger.
So when Hill gently stroked her belly and told him that she was pregnant and that the lover she had always loved could also start preparing for pregnancy, Zes interrupted her loudly and angrily.
"That's enough. Do you think I'm ridiculous? Do you enjoy having me in your hands and doing whatever you want? Have you ever truly loved me?"
When he asked the last question, Zes felt that he was ridiculous, but he still asked it, along with the grievances and resentments of the past few years.
Hill's silver hair looked particularly bright in the dim bedroom. Her green pupils looked at him gently as always. There was no emotion on her beautiful face. She was like an exquisite doll, just quietly watching her husband vent his emotions.
After Zes finished speaking, Hill said softly:
"I like you very much, so I ask His Majesty to marry me to you, so..."
She paused, "I do love you, Zeth."
She said.
"I have fulfilled my duties as a duchess. I don't feel I have done anything to offend you. I'm sorry if you feel offended."
