Chapter 114: How Did You Die?
“Lady Judge, what do you mean?” Countess Rose’s expression turned ugly. If they discovered that Second Prince Oester was behind her, she would truly be beyond salvation. “I just didn’t want Liana, the most likely heir to Venus Territory, to lose her right to compete.”
“I originally thought Erinna, as an outsider, wasn’t much of a threat. Controlling Liana would be enough. But I didn’t expect that she would be the one presenting the greatest threat.”
“So you’re saying that in this matter, from beginning to end, you were the only one involved?” Minoga asked.
“I just wanted to hold the power in my own hands...”
“This hand?” Minoga’s blade pierced directly through Countess Rose’s right palm, causing bright red blood to gush out. “Those who touch forbidden drugs should pay the corresponding price. I have the right to judge your crimes.”
The pain in her palm was nothing compared to the fear in Countess Rose’s heart. Minoga’s eyes didn’t conceal her killing intent at all.
Countess Rose’s lips trembled. Should she speak or not?
If she spoke and let them know who was behind it all, would they spare her?
But if Second Prince Oester found out about this, she would certainly die.
Yet if she didn’t speak, she seemed about to die now. A Judge, in some places, could be considered the embodiment of the king. To a certain extent, what a Judge said could represent the king’s intentions.
Moreover, with both witness testimony and physical evidence present, Countess Rose naturally couldn’t disassociate herself from this matter.
The forbidden drug was an absolute prohibition, not to mention she had targeted the only daughter of Duke Venus. These two offenses together were enough to make her die a thousand deaths.
