Chapter 333: The Princess’s True Face
"Loraine, how could you do this?" Prince Claude’s voice was laced with hurt.
Princess Loraine looked at her brother, who stared at her with a wounded expression, causing her heart to churn. How could this happen? She wanted to deny their accusations as much as possible, but how could she when the evidence against her was overwhelming and she was unprepared for this?
She suddenly covered her face as her body trembled. It was unclear whether she was laughing or crying, as no sound escaped her.
The others watched the princess but chose to wait for her answer.
"I really love him, and I will do anything for him." Suddenly, the princess’s voice rang out.
Hearing her answer, the emperor finally lost control. He slammed the table beside him, his voice thundering as he shouted at his daughter for the first time in his life.
"’Him’?" The emperor’s voice was filled with disbelief. "Do you mean the damned Lust Devil? How can you fall in love with a devil—one of the Seven Deadly Sins, no less? They only want to use you!"
"He is not a damned devil, Father! He is different from the others! I know him very well, and he even said he would help us!" she shouted at her father.
Hearing her tone and the way she spoke to him, the emperor felt as if his heart had been crushed to dust. It was as if he was no longer looking at his daughter but at a stranger wearing her skin. She had never spoken to him like this in her entire life.
"You have already been fooled by the devil’s intrigue. There is no way the devils want to help you—forget about us. What does he even want to help with?" the emperor said.
"No! He will definitely help us! He has a way to save us when the time of the prophecy comes! He said that when that time arrives, no beings other than devils and their associates will be able to survive. Our family can be saved then!"
