Chapter 7: Escaped, new mission arrives
Scarlett said timidly: "I know I was wrong."
"Do you know your mistake?"
Catherine was stunned for a moment.
Scarlett is dull and thoughtful. Even if she is wrong, she will never admit it so easily. She always makes sarcastic remarks and argues with reason, and only chooses to restrain herself when she has no more excuses.
Catherine was a little surprised that he was so straightforward today.
Catherine raised her eyebrows slightly, said "Oh" indifferently, and continued to ask: "Do you know what's wrong?"
Scarlett nodded obediently, "I know. My mistake was not posting Riley's photo on Starnet. It gave them the opportunity to frame me and humiliate the royal family."
Catherine: “???”
Release the photos? That's all?
Scarlett saw Catherine's serious expression soften a little, so she continued, "Mother Queen, I am stingy and don't like my beastly husband to have too much contact with other females."
Scarlett choked up at this point. "Princess Sophia appeased my beastly husband without my consent. I feel insulted. Shouldn't I punish my beastly husband?"
A beastly husband who owns a female master cannot accept comfort from other females. This is an insult to the female master.
Sophia knew this, yet she still comforted her beastly husband in public.
This is humiliating for any female.
What's more, Scarlett is an imperial princess.
After hearing this, Catherine's expression remained indifferent. She glanced at Scarlett, ignoring her slightly red eyes, and said coldly: "Scarlett, you are just an F-level female. You can't appease your beast husband. If Sophia doesn't take action, Riley will die."
If it were in the past, the original owner would have turned around and left in despair after hearing these words.
She is indeed an F-class female, but why did the almighty emperor grant her marriage to these high-ranking males when he knew that he could not appease her?
Are you waiting to see her make a fool of herself?
Scarlett, however, was not like that. She remained calm and argued, "Your Majesty, this is wrong. Riley was injured not far from the Imperial Court. The Royal Hospital is nearby, just a few steps away."
"The medicines in the medical center were all developed by the Advanced Research Institute. Although they are not as soothing as female medicines, they can temporarily suppress the male's collapsed spiritual consciousness. There is no need for female soothing at all."
"Otherwise, how can so many males in the empire survive without female masters? Don't you agree, Your Majesty?"
"presumptuous!"
Catherine slapped the jade dragon head on the throne.
The pressure of an SSS-level female, once unleashed, is enough to destroy the entire imperial court.
Catherine restrained most of her breath, but even so, she still broke the dragon head from the throne.
The jade dragon head, a symbol of royal majesty, rolled down the steps and landed at Scarlett's feet.
Scarlett's eyes widened when she saw it.
I realized belatedly that my last sentence was too sharp and hurt the Queen.
It’s over.
Here comes another difficult person.
I haven’t finished coaxing the four kids at home yet.
It's so annoying.
Scarlett shivered and broke out in a cold sweat.
Hesitating whether to kneel down and apologize.
The Queen's sharp question came from above his head.
"Scarlett, you are so jealous, is it because you like your beastly husband or do you hate your beastly husband?"
This is a fatal question.
The original owner responded with disgust and was put in solitary confinement.
Beastly husbands are given by the Queen, and hating them is equivalent to hating the Queen.
This was a provocation to the absolute imperial power.
If I say I like you, it would be considered deceiving the king.
Although Scarlett lives in her own mansion, she is surrounded by the Queen's spies. Her every word and action is under the Queen's nose, and she cannot lie at all.
The original owner's usual behavior of abusing her beastly husband was already a silent provocation.
Right now, we cannot escalate the conflict and must come up with a tactful explanation.
Scarlett thought about it for a while, knelt on the ground, and answered: "I didn't like it before, but I like it now."
Catherine said nothing and looked at her calmly.
Scarlett didn't look up, but she could sense the Queen's unfriendly gaze. She pursed her lips, decided to take a gamble, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Majesty, after we got married, I hated you. I don't understand why you gave them to me. They are too powerful, so powerful that I hate them."
"Later, I gradually understood that you were doing this for my own good."
"They are valiant and skilled in battle, and possess unparalleled virtue and appearance. They have made contributions in various fields of the empire and are truly rare talents. You felt sorry for your son's uselessness, so you used them to protect him."
"After I understood your painstaking efforts, I became even more afraid, fearing they would be snatched away. That's why you locked them up, preventing others from seeing them and keeping them only with me."
"Your son hates them, but he also likes them. Your son, your son was wrong. Please forgive me, mother!"
The original owner's beastly husband came from various major families. If you look at the relationships, they can all be considered arranged marriages.
The better the original owner's relationship with them, the closer the relationship between the major families and the royal family will be.
If Scarlett can turn back from her mistakes, she may be able to resolve the current dilemma.
After hearing what Scarlett said, Catherine did not speak immediately. She sat upright, her eyes cold as she stared at Scarlett.
After a long moment, she narrowed her eyes and said quietly, "Scarlett, I'll leave the Star Network matter to you. If you can't handle it well, don't blame me for being ruthless."
