I Became the Wife of the Monstrous Crown Prince

Tenstheon locked Duke Cassil in the west prison of the imperial palace. Frank Cassil was sent to an underground east prison in the imperial palave.

The place where Frank is in, was a place where prisoners are usually punished, there were manu torture tools and the facility is poor.

Richard tried to meet Frank, but he couldn’t bribe the knight there.

The fact that Drank was locked up in such place will made him go crazy and spill everything. Understanding what Richard meant, the duke of cassil were furious.

”Frank won’t betray us!”

”Maybe he already betrayed us, he easily betray people for his own gain. Just put every blame on him.”

The duke of cassil slapped him on the cheek.

”You wicked bastard! What are you saying! You must have wanted to take Frank’s place.”

”It’s not like that, I only made the offer to protect you.”

Richard meant it. He was planning to get rid of Frank anyway since the duke is more important.

He hated the duke and his family but he needed their power. He wanted everything the duke of cassil had.

”Frank is the child that will become the future emperor! He’s very precious! Just wait and see! The nobles are bound to take my side anyway. Even if Tenstheon’s influence is strong, he doesn’t have any heir. By now, the appeal for my justice would already be piled up! Marquis Westin would also help his son in law.”

His daughter is disgraced, and you believed marquis westin will help you?

”Just get out of here! What a disgrace! I will never forgive Tenstheon and I’ll make him pay!”

”Your Excellency, calm down. You have to blame Frank for your own good.”

Richard persuaded him once again.

Arnold hit him again.

”You ungrateful bastard! If Frank’s in a crisis you should’ve helped him! Have you forgotten why I took you in? It is to help Frank! You’re fed thanks to Frank, you need to repay him!”

”…”

”Release me and Frank today. Otherwise I’ll expel you from the family!”

Richard left the prison without replying.

***

Did he think I’ll follow his demand? What’s the use when the cassils are about to be gone.

He returned home with a burning anger. Tenstheon is now holding the cassils a hostage. With the fall of the duke’s family, Richard wouldn’t be able to become the emperor and the cassils will lost its strength and position.

’So, let’s kill Tenstheon.’
