Adide knew Madison understood she was a dead woman walking.

Even if she lived, with her pampered personality, she couldn’t handle the torture from the Ministry of Justice, so she wanted a quick end.
Seeing her intentionsid bare, Madison’s face instantly turned ashen. “Living is hard enough. Dying is the easy part, isn’t it? Why would I be disappointed?”
Adide said tly, “Living is indeed hard, but for you, dying won’t be
easy
either.”
Madison gritted her teeth in hatred and hissed maliciously, “Not easy? Then why did your whole family get destroyed? Look how easily your entire family died! They didn’t even leave behind full bodies. Is that not easy?”
She intentionally stabbed at Adide’s deepest pain and thenughed triumphantly.
Her eyes were more venomous than a pit viper’s. <fnf65a> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on Find★Novel</fnf65a>
She thought this would crush Adide, making her lose control andsh out.
Clearly, she was going to be disappointed.
Adide’s expression didn’t change. She just stared at her with icy eyes. “Even in death, they can be together forever. But you, whether you live or die, you will always be alone.”
“You think I care about that?” Madison burst intoughter, tearing at the wounds on her face and lips.
Blood oozed out, making her entire face look like a rotten peach. She still fixed Adide with a malevolent stare and spat out every word, “I don’t care at all!”
Adide said expressionlessly, “You better truly not care about anything, or you won’t survive your time with the Ministry of Justice. You should know, I don’t want you to die easily.”
When the vehicle arrived, Adide dragged Madison out.
Jess, the official in charge of guarding royal–rted prisoners at the Ministry of Justice, came forward for the handover.
After the exchange, Jess ordered heavy chains to be ced all over Madison’s body.

Jess then spoke, “Gamma Adide, Lycan Erasmus has ordered that to prevent Madison frommitting suicide, most of her teeth must be pulled and her hands and feet broken. Pleasee inside to supervise, so you can report back sessfully.”
Madison hissed through clenched teeth, “You dare?”
Adide just said coldly, “Lead the way.”
Madison was dragged inside, roaring and struggling the whole way, unable to maintain theposure she had shown in the car.
The Ministry of Justicepound was vast, divided by a wide central corridor: the east side housed the Ministry offices, and the west was the detention area.
Since most of those detained were from the royal family, there was no traditional prison. Instead, the area was divided into separate, guarded courtyards.
The entire detention area was surrounded by high walls and heavily guarded.
Adide had already given the order to Captain Ampelio of the Royal Guard to send assistance.
The Royal Guard had arrived, but Ampelio was not there yet.
Jess was a Ministry of Justice official in charge of all detainees here.
The Ministry had its own guards, but because Madison was under Lycan Erasmus’s special “attention,” the Royal Guard had been deployed to help.
They reached Madison’s detention courtyard, and she was pushed inside.
Someone was already waiting in the courtyard. On a dpidated small table, there were pliers and metal hooks for pulling teeth.
“Let go of me!” Madison struggled wildly, but the heavy chains made her lose her bnce, and she fell forward, copsing onto her knees.
Jess seemedpletely used to such scenes.
He said cidly, “Although Lycan Erasmus stripped you of your Princess title, he is still detaining you here at the Ministry of Justice. This is already a courtesy to you. Consider this kneel a thank you for that courtesy.”
With that, he ordered his men to grab Madison.
Madison’s mouth was full of blood. The fall had split her lip again.

Hearing Jess’s words, Adide suddenly recalled what Rosa had once said: whatever the noble did to the humble could be called a “Tavor.”
She genuinely wanted to call Rosa over and ask her if this “courtesy” was “in ce.”
Just as they were about to begin, Ampelio arrived with two Royal Guard members.
Adide had only met Ampelio once.
At the time, he carried the specific arrogance of a beta. His sulfur scent wasced with undisguised contempt, and he looked down his nose at Adide, never making proper eye
contact.
Ampelio still walked with the same imposing air, his face permanently etched with pride.
He bowed to Adide, but his knuckles were unconsciously showing the faint grey of a partial shift.
When he spoke to Jess, his tone wasced with barely hidden mockery. “How can we allow Gamma Adide to witness something so bloody? Please ask Gamma Adide to step away. We wouldn’t want her to be scared and need sedativester.”
As he finished speaking, a flicker of scarlet–pure contempt–passed through his eyes.
“Ampelio!” Ellen scowled and reprimanded him, his wolf ears raised in anger. “Don’t talk nonsense! Gamma Adide has fought on the Southern Border. What kind of bloodshed hasn’t she seen? Don’t be such a snob!”
The cold gleam of wolf ws was already visible in Ellen’s palms. If he wasn’t mindful of rank, he would have punched Ampelio already.
