Chapter 209: Male lead my ass!
Sigrid had never seen a more foolish male lead than Benjamin Maximus. He had just heard his father mention his mother’s background and use the word whore in the same sentence and his first thought was to run to the world announce that the queen was a whore!!
With this kind of thinking, how could he be the male lead? In fact all of his decisions were wrong most of the time and she could not tell if it was an effect of her interference with the plot or his character.
King Raff turned back to Queen Maurelia who was sniveling. "I have other ways to handle this without exposing the shame of this family."
He gestured for his knights to come forward and pointed at the naked red knight. "Take him out and kill him. Cut him into pieces and feed his body to the dogs. If he has a family, tell them he died doing his job."
The naked red knight raised his head and shook it frantically, desperation poured out of his eyes. "Your highness please, spare me. I don’t know what happened, I would never dare to sleep with the queen." He shouted.
"Gag his mouth before he shouts this out to everyone along the way and dress him up so that the servants won’t speculate about his nakedness." Sigrid ordered. "We do need Solandor’s prince’s hearing about this."
The red knight was knocked unconscious, dressed and dragged out.
King Raff turned to look at Orena. She was already trembling and in tears. The knowledge that she was about to die was overpowering__so much so that she lost control of her bladder.
"If I kill you randomly, people will notice and nose around especially if they know that you were invited into my castle today. But if I let you go, I will remain uneasy because I don’t know what you might say and to whom you might say something about this night to." He gestured at the red knights again. "Take her back to her theater and kill her there, make it look like a theft gone wrong."
