TCIWTFY - Chapter 151

With the arrival of Emperor Katzen's envoy and the crossing of the strait to Valdina, the Claudio family was released.

Both Valdina and Katzen succeeded in achieving mutual demands within a reasonable line.

The engagement ceremony with the 4th Princess was also concluded in no time.

Samon had clearly survived. He barely managed to suppress the urge to laugh out loud.

'I succeeded! Peleus! That brilliant siblings tried so hard but still could not kill me! I won!'

And soon his cousins will be beating the ground in regret, saying they should never have let Samon live.

Samon turned to the Fourth Princess.

Towards his future wife, a foolish, cruel, yet powerful woman who saved his life.

"Your Highness. Thank you. Your Highness has no idea how honored I am to be your husband."

He smiled as best he could.

Even though they've already revealed their true colors, aren't they stilI destined to become a couple?

Having already managed to crawl into the Princess's bed once, Samon was confident that he could melt her frozen heart.

'All women are the same. If you accept them with affection, they will eventually break down the wall and fall for you.'

However, the moment Samon reached out, there was a popping sound.

"Ugh-!"

The Princess, unable to bear it any longer, picked up the scabbard of the knight next to her and struck him down.

Samon fell to the floor with intense pain in his lower back.

"How dare you, you little rat! You're a bastard who's not even as good as the dirt on my toes, and you've ruined my life."

He was so happy to have escaped Valdina safely that he overlooked how the Princess had treated him during that time.

The murderous eyes looked like they wanted to eat Samon's bones.

'If I could, I'd really kill him.'

The 4th Princess suppressed the impulse that was rising on Samon's astonished face.

"Shouldn't he at least make things difficult for you?"

The unique, calm voice that turned the other person's stomach upside down rose from her memory.

On the day when the agreement between the two countries was finalized, the Princess of Valdina came to see the 4th Princess.

"4th Princess, congratulations on your engagement."

"Are you kidding me right now?!"

"That's not true. It's just a shame. A couple shares each other's burdens and lives together, so now Your Highness the Princess will have to shoulder Samon's burden and notoriety as well."

The Princess of Valdina was full of life.

Unlike the 4th Princess, who had been going through all sorts of hardships since coming to Valdina, her clear skin and clear eyes were overflowing with freshness.

As she bit her lip and tried to suppress the jealousy that was rising in her, the Princess continued speaking. 

"Poor thing. Her Highness the Fourth Princess has lost so much, while Brother Samon has gained nothing from this engagement. Rather, his worries have turned into blessings."

"Is the mockery going that far? Right now. I could be anyone... Sigh."

The 4th Princess swallowed an angry breath.

The Princess was right.

Although he had lost both his reputation and the future of his successor by becoming entangled in dirty business with the devil, Samon Claudio had instead gained wings.

The Emperor's edict put so much pressure on her that she had no choice but to accept the engagement with Samon.

His mother, Empress Dowager, also sent a letter informing her father of anger and asking her to stop her rash actions.

'If I kill that bastard, the Emperor will never forgive me.'

The 4th Princess felt like she was going crazy. No matter how much she screamed every night, the anger that had built up inside her just wouldn't go away.

Medea pointed out gently as if reading her mind.

"Your Highness, there is no need for Your Highness to unconditionally endure. There are many ways to achieve one's goals in this world."

The fourth Princess glared at Medea. Her eyes were filled with caution and suspicion.

"Ha! Do you think I don't know that you're trying to kill that kid with my help?"

"I won't deny that I want to get rid of Claudio. But then, Your Highness, are you saying that it's not true?"

The 4th Princess could not deny Medea's question, which she asked with a smile.

The 4th Princess herself may really want to kill Samon, perhaps even more than the Princess.

"The Emperor of Katzen said that as long as Samon is 'alive'. It doesn't matter what method is used."

Medea continued speaking as if she could read the Princess's mind.

"The Duke's family has already fallen, and Samon has also been demoted to the status of a commoner. Furthermore, he dared to use his brilliant mind to corner the 4th Princess, so who would say anything if the 4th Princess were to vent her anger a little?"

"..."

"Your Highness, instead of taking his life, you are only giving him a little pain. Shouldn't Samon suffer at least as much as Your Highness?"

Medea glanced at the knights behind the fourth Princess, then slightly bent her knees.

"Your Highness, you are so kind-hearted, despite not being lacking in tools or the ability to clean up after yourself."

"..."

"It was just my casual conversation, so don't take it too seriously. If you do, please take a look." 

After Medea left, the fourth Princess was left alone and thought deeply. The long-standing grudge against Medea was blurred when she stood before the culprit, Samon. 

'Yeah, isn't it okay as long as you don't die?'

The Emperor needed his life as a reason to replace the King of Valdina.

'You have no intention of hiring Claudio separately.' 

Of course, there's no way she could give another chance to someone with such poor skills and talent. In that case...

"You guys, bring a whip. A wet leather one would be nice."

"Yes?"

The Princess's escort knight paused.

"What are you doing without bringing it?! Tell the guard that this Angelique is leaving right now."

From that day on, the 4th Princess took out her anger on Samon to her heart's content.

The Fourth Princess thoroughly beat Samon's face below while holding both of his arms so that he could not resist.

So no one knew that Samon was exposed to brutal violence.

"Bring holy water and heal him. My precious little Duke Claudio, who will become my husband, has lost consciousness."

The repeated acts of treating Samon after he passed out from being beaten and then beating him again were almost torture.

It was the same on the day of the wedding.

"Your Highness, please forget the old things that happened before this and come with me..."

Samon's efforts to somehow improve their relationship did not reach the Fourth Princess, but rather only made her angry.

"Forget? You may easily forget this small country, but what I lost was a great empire! I lost the throne because I was held back by the likes of you!"

"Ugh!"

The Princess, full of anger, swung her whip wildly.

'That throne, you weren't even supposed to sit on it from the start!'

Samon didn't know that the Fourth Princess would not show consideration for his circumstances even in front of everyone.

But what tormented Samon more than the pain of his body being beaten was the fact that he was showing everyone the sight of himself being beaten like a dog by the Princess.

"..."

The regent Duke flinched as he watched the fourth Princess's brutal violence, wondering if he too would be hit. Instead, it was Catherine who bravely stepped forward.

"Ahh! Stop! My son!"

She ran forward and put her arms around her son's shoulders. Then she shouted at the Princess.

"Your Highness! Samon is now your husband! How can you do this? There is no law in the Katzen Imperial House!"

"The dogs are barking in a pack. Let's scold them together."

The 4th Princess gave orders to the knights with a cold face. After a brief pause, the club swings continued.

"Ahhh! No! Aahhh!"

Catherine had to be beaten by Samon while hugging him.

"Oh, Your Highness. There are so many eyes on you, how about doing it a little later..."

Even though Samon, the regent's son, did not know, Count Raju, who could not bear to see his lover get hurt, tried to dissuade the 4th Princess.

Crack-!

However, his courage was in vain as he was slapped in the face by the 4th Princess.

"Shut up and get out of the way."
