Beatrice raised her head and glanced at the steward with a dark gaze. She bit her rosy lips, but didn’t argue with him.
As soon as the steward saw Beatrice’s hostile gaze, he felt angered. “Heh, you’re just a piece of trash from a fallen country. How dare you glare at me?!” With that, the steward took out the chain at his waist and mercilessly whipped it at Beatrice’s thin body.
After the blunt whip hit Beatrice’s head and shoulder, she was in extreme pain and blood flowed out of her nose.
Seeing this, the other merfolk lowered their heads and pretended to be frightened.
Jessica hurriedly knelt in front of Beatrice and flattered the steward, “Sir, this dog is disobedient, so let me help you train it a lesson. I promise that I will train it to be as obedient, sensible, and grateful as me.”
!!
When the old butler heard Jessica’s words, he was instantly pleased.
He pinched the chain and said to Beatrice, “Look, this is what an obedient dog should be like! Learn well.”
Beatrice saw Jessica’s red eyes and didn’t want to implicate her, so she lowered her head and used her scarred hands to hold the rag tightly while wiping the ground mechanically.
Seeing this, the steward strode past Beatrice and stepped on the back of Beatrice’s right hand, which had just been broken yesterday.
Beatrice gasped in pain.
The steward looked at the few drops of nosebleed in front of Beatrice in disdain and he said sinisterly, “The most important diplomat of the Divine Moon Empire is coming to visit the palace. Hurry up and clean up your disgusting and smelly blood. If the diplomat sees anything dirty, I’ll chop you up and feed you to the wild dogs outside!”
With that, the steward stomped his feet hard and when he heard Beatrice moan in pain, he left quickly with a smug expression.
After he left, the other merfolk looked at Beatrice worriedly, but they didn’t dare to get too close to her.
Getting too close to Beatrice was courting death.
Jessica turned around and looked at Beatrice. At this moment, tears were streaming down her face. Jessica wiped away the blood from Beatrice’s nose bit by bit. When she saw that Beatrice’s right finger bone couldn’t move at all, she sobbed in anguish. Then, she said in a low voice, “Your Highness, the Caro Dynasty has been overthrown. If you are lucky enough to escape this hell and obtain a new life, don’t think about restoring the country. In the future, you have to work hard to become a kind, upright, and powerful person. That will be the best repayment to the king and queen.”
“Your Highness.” Jessica patted Beatrice’s back gently as she said, “Everyone says that if you suffer when you’re a child, when you grow up, you will enjoy endless blessings. If Your Highness can survive this hellish life, you will definitely obtain a more brilliant future. So, Your Highness, you must survive. Even if you are as lowly as a dog now, you must survive.”
Beatrice nodded vigorously. “I understand.”
At this moment, the steward suddenly brought a group of people back to the courtyard. He shouted, “The eldest prince is here. Everyone, keep quiet. You can’t disturb the eldest prince and his noble friends!”
Hearing this, all the servants quickly retreated from the courtyard to the palace. All of them lowered their heads and worked quietly like quails.
Soon, the eldest prince of the Beast Clan walked over with a man in a black suit.
The eldest prince was a man with a lion’s head. He was very burly and more than two meters tall.
Qin Lang, who was only 1.8 meters tall and had a refined aura, should have looked petite when he stood in front of the eldest prince. However, Qin Lang had always been a man who was good at keeping a low key. He was best at saying the most heartbreaking words with the gentlest look on his face.
Qin Lang wasn’t any less imposing than the eldest prince at all.
“Mr. Qin, this is the servant courtyard of the Beast Clan. Everyone you can see here is a slave we chose from various defeated countries. They are all the most obedient lap dogs!” Slavery had always been prevalent in the Hundred Beast Continent. Even decades later, the Hundred Beast Continent had yet to abolish slavery.
At this time, slavery had long been abandoned in the Divine Moon Empire. Qin Lang had never seen a slave since he was born, so when he saw slaves here, he took a few curious glances.
Qin Lang knew that the Beast Clan’s royal family had overthrown the Caro Dynasty and had also heard that the Beast Clan had captured the remaining members of the Caro Dynasty as slaves. However, he didn’t know that one of those slaves was the younger cousin of his good friend, the Crown Prince!
At this moment, the outside world thought that the little prince of the Caro Dynasty, Beatrice, had already died in the war.
Qin Lang looked at the palace and saw a few merfolk kneeling on the ground and working, as well as a few elves, some orcs, and even humans they had snatched from other countries. These slaves were all wearing slave uniforms.
The slave uniform was a loose gray linen robe. Both men and women wore the same design.
Many women couldn’t even hide their private parts when wearing the slave uniform.
Seeing this, Qin Lang frowned and felt slightly uncomfortable.
He turned his gaze slightly and realized that there was an extremely weak-looking little merman kneeling on the ground.
As if sensing Qin Lang’s gaze, the little merman suddenly raised his head.
He was a very handsome young merman. He had dark blue curly hair and his two dazzling sapphire-like eyes were the only intact feature on his face. His ears, lips, and nose were covered in all kinds of scars.
Some were whip wounds, and some were knife wounds.
