妻子的情人

Chapter 101: Aren’t you going to thank me? Part3

The underground dungeons beneath the royal palace also housed several torture chambers, used to interrogate and punish the prisoners.

These chambers specifically had thinner stone walls compared to the prison cells, so that one could hear the screams and cries from the adjoining rooms.

This set of gruesome dark walls, typically bleak and desolate, currently had three stunning colorful beauties; each staring at the other with a different meaning in their look.

Charlotte especially was grinning from ear to ear.

Now that the Empress was not present, she didn’t even bother hiding her happiness any longer.

The dastardly snake had tested her boundaries a little too much!

What sort of a maniac would forcefully kiss their enemy?!

For all she cared, the snake was a complete perverted lunatic!

Killing her would have been better, but beating her senseless like this and kicking her perverted ass out of the elven boundaries didn’t sound bad as well.

Charlotte gleefully patted Isabella and mumbled, “Sister, don’t trouble yourself with such a violent thing.”

“I know how kind-hearted you are and how much kindness you even show your enemies, people who absolutely do not deserve it.”

“Why don’t I take this off of your hands? Please go upstairs and rest.”

“I will take care of this and meet you later.”

Isabella nodded and thanked Charlotte for being such a good friend. She then looked at councilman Madou to check if that was fine with him.

“Sure, I don’t mind who delivers the punishment.” He said.

“Sorry. I will then take advantage of your kindness. Forgive me, sister.”

Isabella handed the heavy iron whip to Charlotte and prepared to head upstairs when a set of heavy footsteps echoed from the lower layers.

Typically not many people had the clearance to visit the lower prisoner cells, so both Madou and Isabella curiously peeked as to see who it was.

Charlotte couldn’t care less though. She was far more engrossed in landing some actual blows on the dastardly snake.

And Tang Yue as well was not interested.

Slashes using iron whip? Keep it coming! Maybe it will improve my physical strength? This was her attitude. 

Mentally, she had already checked out and retreated to her safe place, counting down the days until she can smell the sweet air of freedom.

Meanwhile, the footsteps approached closer and closer to them. It sounded as if two elves were headed towards them.

Before Charlotte could even take a step forward and crack the whip, the duo had already reached them.

A frightening cold aura seeped out and everyone instantly froze. An unexpected godly figure had suddenly walked into the private party of four.

Madou was the one who had the least to lose. He was merely doing his job. So he casually bowed and paid his respects to the Crown Prince.

Isabella also was not doing too bad. Her surprised eyes quickly softened as she gazed at the man standing next to the General.

A look of adoration and love floated across her face. Today was definitely her lucky day. 

Not only did she manage to catch a glimpse of his highness, but she was also not the one with the whip.

She as well bowed to the prince, a coy expression on her face.

Among the four, Charlotte and Tang Yue were the most shell-shocked.

While Tang Yue silently gulped down her nervousness, hoping that the jerk wouldn’t ruin her plans, Charlotte seemed as if someone has just lashed her with an iron whip.

She was the one who was affected the most. She fretted as if the entire blue sky had crumbled and fallen down around her. 

She didn’t plan for this at all! Not today, not tomorrow, not ever! 

How could her beloved prince catch her in the middle of such a brutish act?? What the hell? 

And worst, she had absolutely no idea how to rectify this situation! Everything had happened too suddenly!

Who could have expected Xander to suddenly show up in the palace dungeons? 

It might have happened if there was some high-profile prisoner newly coming in but nothing of that sort was going down today. She knew that for a fact. After all, she was the General’s daughter.

Talking about the General, the middle-aged elf had already started sweating profusely.

Why was his daughter always in the middle of these things? 

Was he such a bad father? Didn’t he teach her anything at all?

I have to beat some sense into that girl once I get back home. The General shook his head.

It was already too late for him to intervene in whatever was going on, so all he could do was hope that everything happening had a meaning.

Surely his daughter didn’t drag another consort down to the dungeons and prepare to start whipping her on all her own accord?

The sight of Isabella standing next to his daughter at least gave him some sort of comfort. Still…

General Salvatore turned his head and looked at the crown prince with an anxious look on his face.

But the man seemed as impassive as ever. 

He was not in the least concerned about this scene at all, where one of his consorts was chained and the other two was getting ready to beat her up.

General Salvatore gulped in nervousness.

He hoped that Xander would be too preoccupied with the harpy’s blabberings to pay attention to this nonsense.

And answering his unspoken prayers, Xander, as well casually walked past the motley group of four.

He looked like he had no interest in interfering.

He crossed them without even sparing a glance.

PHEW!

Everyone including Tang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. 

The General quickly followed behind the prince, wiping the sweat off his forehead. Disaster averted!

But seconds later, suddenly, the pair of feet stopped walking.

Xander turned around with a subtle grin on his face that extended all the way to his eyes and started walking towards Madou.

And then, to everyone’s surprise, he asked with amusement ringing in his voice.

“What is happening here, may I know?”
