"Go and bring Reina here." Martin ordered the Shadow Hunter with a stern look.
The Shadow Hunter instantly appeared, bowed respectfully to Martin, then raised his hand to create a crack in space, and stepped into it in a flash.
Not long after, the Shadow Hunter appeared in the throne room with Reina.
Martin looked straight at Reina, his tone questioning: "Are you really going to do this? Do you really want to embarrass us all?"
Reina pursed her lips, said nothing, and just looked back at Martin quietly.
Seeing this, Martin couldn't help but laugh in anger, "Reina, I'll give you one last chance to tell me what you really think."
"If you continue to remain silent, you won't have the chance to speak later even if you want to."
However, Reina remained silent and did not respond.
Just as Martin was about to speak again, Reina finally said slowly: "Your Majesty, now, Hunter is my only remaining relative."
"Please, please give him a chance to live. Just let him stay with me. I promise you that he will behave himself and never cause any trouble."
"Reina, don't you understand that this is not what I want to ask. What I want to ask is why you made this public?"
"Are you afraid that I'll kill him, so you want everyone to know about Hunter's existence? You are so stupid and ignorant!"
"Originally, I planned to have the Queen send Kate out of the palace and arrange for him to be housed in a mansion near the palace."
"But now, because of what you did, I changed my mind." Martin glared at Reina and scolded her sharply.
"Come here!" Martin gave an order, and a team of court knights rushed into the throne hall as fast as the wind.
"Go, drag that child, Hunter, from Princess Reina's bedroom and execute him on the spot!"
After receiving the order, the court knights immediately turned around and ran away.
When Reina heard this, her eyes widened instantly, her face full of disbelief.
Then, her legs went weak and she fell to her knees on the ground with a plop, begging Martin with tears in her eyes.
However, Martin's face was cold and he was not moved at all. He ignored Reina's sad plea and strode out of the throne room.
When they arrived outside the hall, Martin called out to the chief steward Lilith.
Lilith was capable and Martin found her useful, so he specially transferred her from the secret realm.
"Lilith, please send more maids during this period to take good care of Princess Reina's daily life and avoid any accidents. Do you understand what I mean?"
Martin looked at Lilith with deep eyes. Lilith was shocked.
He quickly suppressed the surprise on his face and responded respectfully, saying that he understood His Majesty's meaning and would take good care of the imperial concubine.
After everything was arranged, Martin turned and headed towards the pavilion in the imperial garden.
He sat quietly in the pavilion, his eyes fixed on the fish swimming in the lake, and his irritable mood eased a little.
At this moment, a court knight hurried over to report that Her Majesty the Queen had gone to the throne room and took Princess Reina away.
After hearing this, Martin waved his hand gently, signaling the knight to retreat.
Meanwhile, in the secret place of Lake Hestia where they were sent, Belin was being hung up by a horsewhip by her father White and was being beaten mercilessly.
The second wife was extremely anxious and wanted to stop it but was completely powerless. She could only cry as she looked at her daughter who was being beaten and wailing miserably.
When Eric sent Belin back here, everyone was very surprised because Belin was sent here imprisoned.
Based on everyone's understanding of Martin, if Beilin had not committed an extremely serious mistake, there was no way she would have been brought back in such confinement.
Afterwards, Eric summoned the Knight Commander and all the stewards.
In front of everyone, he said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty has decreed that from today onwards, Beilin is not allowed to leave this secret realm."
"If Belin leaves the secret realm, everyone present will be executed, except for the royal family. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, the Knight Commander and the stewards all bowed respectfully and nodded to show that they understood.
At this time, White walked up and asked Eric anxiously what had happened.
Eric hesitated for a moment, but finally told the emperor exactly what happened in the throne room.
Then, Eric turned and left. As Eric's figure disappeared, the restraints on Beilin were instantly lifted.
She had just breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she had escaped confinement, when she suddenly heard the Second Madam's anxious cry from a distance: "Belin, run!"
When Belin heard the shout, she slowly raised her head and looked forward. She saw White's eyes were red with anger, and he was walking towards her viciously step by step like an angry beast.
Seeing this, Beilin dared not stay where she was. She turned around and ran desperately towards the distance.
However, White has now achieved legendary strength by investing resources in cultivation regardless of cost.
He flashed like a black lightning, and instantly came behind Beilin who was about to escape, and grabbed her with his hand.
Then the scene described at the beginning occurred - White whipped the hung Belin with a horsewhip.
As White's whip fell again and again, Belin's miserable wails gradually became weaker.
White sensed something strange and discovered that Beilin had been knocked unconscious.
He stopped, slammed the whip to the ground, and looked at his unconscious daughter with cold eyes, full of confusion.
He really couldn't understand why Beilin would give up her peaceful life and go out to stir up trouble.
In his opinion, Martin was generous enough to his family, giving them almost everything they asked for.
Thinking of this, White's anger suddenly rose again, and he couldn't help but want to pick up the whip and whip Belin a few more times.
At this moment, the second wife saw this and rushed forward, hugged White's thighs, and begged with tears in her eyes: "Don't hit her anymore, Master, you will really beat her to death if you hit her again!"
White frowned, snorted coldly, struggled to break free from the second lady's hand, and left without looking back.
When the second lady saw White finally leave, she turned around and shouted to the servants anxiously, "Hurry and put Beilin down!"
The servants looked hesitant, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Mrs. Ellie also hurriedly said: "Don't stand there, put Beilin down!"
The servants then obeyed the order and immediately worked together to lower Belin from where she was hanging.
