Chapter 599

Before she could finish, Lizzie swallowed the rest of her words.

Lizzie stared at fenis, her eyes wide with shock. “So, you’ve been working for my brother for a long time?”

“Yes” Ferris bit out the word, his expression deceptively calm,

His sharp eyes were now utterly lifeless.

He said, “Once I took the Ashen Feather, my life belonged to His Majesty. Without the antidote from him, I’m doomed to be a lone woll”

Arthur had turned him into a lone woll, all for the sake of control,

It was a ruthlesschente

Lizzie’s eyes first widened in disbelief, then she burst into hysterical Laughter. “My brother knew you were poisoned, yet he still forced me to marry you. All he wants is to make me obedient, tool”

Lizzie shrieked while sweeping everything off the table in one funous motion, “But why? How dare he?”

She went on a rampage, smashing every breakable thing in the room to smithereens

After what felt like ages, Lizzie collapsed to the floor, weeping and laughing hysterically. “If Arthur hadn’t resorted to scheming, would that throne ever have gone to him?”

“Princess!” Ferris cut her off sharply. “Mind your tongue. Do you want both our heads to roll?”

The room was in utter shambles Ferris sat drinking while Lizzie, alternating between cobs and laughter, rambled drunkenly

What should have been their joyous wedding night had turned into utter chaos,

But Ferris couldn’t care less. He’d ever truly wanted to marry Lizzie inte

He kept refilling his glass, drinking one after another in silence.

After Father died, when he saw had no one left to

Lizzie sat beside him while sobbing uncontrollably. “He was so jealous that he had to destroy me. After Fal protect me, he lured me out of the palace and abandoned me in the desolate wilds.

“Several men pinned me to the ground…”

Ferris snapped his gaze toward Lizzie, only to find her eyes glared over, her expression hovering between truth and pretense

But the sorrow and pain in her eyes was no act.
