Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 1788

“Your highness….” Fanny trembled. She would never forget his gaze for her whole life. It was terrifying.

The next second, Fanny squeezed a smile and pretended to be afraid. “I was wrong. I wasn’t making sense.”

Ambrose looked cold and did not speak nonsense but asked, “Let me ask you, why did you capture Aurora and Eira? What was their crime?”

Fanny hesitated and said carefully, “Your highness, you may have forgotten, but, when we were at the Emei Sect’ 1000th-anniversary celebration, you came to look for Eira. At that time, the Sect Master Senior Sister had told you Aurora had an unlawful relationship with a wild man and gave birth to Eira. She’s a bastard, a child out of wedlock. She disobeyed the rules of the sect, and logically we did what had to be done.

“Aurora broke the sect’s rules and humiliated the Emei Sect. It was logical for the Sect Master Senior Sister to capture the mother and daughter.”

Fanny acted naturally as if everything made sense.

When he heard that, Ambrose clenched his fist tightly, rage burning in his heart.

‘Aurora and Eira had been exiled from the Emei Sect for years. Even though they might have been wrong, they would have redeemed themselves. However, the Emei Sect still insists on holding them guilty. Are they only satisfied after they destroy their reputation completely?’ he thought, his eyes blood-red as he stared angrily at Fanny.

“Release Aurora immediately!” he said.

Eira escaped, so he did not need to worry about her for now. However, Aurora was Eira’s mother, and he could not just ignore the fact that she was suffering in prison and not do anything.

Fanny’s expression changed. She bit her lips hard, shook her head and said, “Your Highness, I’m afraid I can’t do that!”

His gaze was shining as he said coldly, “Really?”

He released a strong aura from his body that was so strong it felt suffocating.

Fanny trembled as she felt Ambrose’s murderous aura, and she took a cold breath discreetly.

The next second, Fanny pretended to be calm as she smiled and said, “Your Highness, you should know I am only the acting Sect Master. I can only handle small matters of the Emei Sect. I do not have the authority over matters about a traitor like Aurora.
