Chapter 808
Crack!
The Emperor whipped non-stop.
In just a short amount of time, Tiara had been whipped a dozen times. She could feel a searing pain each time the Emperor laid the lash across her back. The excruciating pain caused her muscles to tremble, but she gritted her teeth and refused to utter a single word.
She knew she must never speak.
If she gave in, it would mean betraying James. Not only that, it would mean leaking James’ plan which would make his position even more precarious.
She would rather die than let that come to pass.
Tiara was just an ordinary girl who had just graduated college and was in the prime of her youth. Just like any other girl, she loved and worshiped heroes. Yet somehow, a single accident turned her life upside down.
‘I mustn’t say a word,’ she murmured silently.
The conviction strengthened her.
Despite the excruciating pain, she gritted her teeth and said nothing.
“Stubborn, aren’t you?”
The Emperor’s face darkened. He ordered, “Let her down.”
“Understood.”
The moment Tiara was released, she immediately collapsed to the ground. She could feel a searing pain the moment her injuries made contact with the ground, and could not help but groan in pain.
Beside her were a few branding irons.
The Emperor held one in his hand and looked at Tiara, who was lying on the ground, coldly, ” This is your last chance… Speak!”
Tiara gritted her teeth. However, upon seeing the smoldering heat of the branding iron, her teeth could not help but chatter. Even her body was trembling in fear.
At that moment, terror enveloped her. She almost chose to compromise.
However, her strong conviction overwhelmed her fear.
The Emperor walked over to her with the branding iron.
Before it even came into contact with her body, Tiara could feel the scorching heat of the iron.
“I wonder how long you can last.”
The Emperor’s face darkened, and he prodded the iron into Tiara’s flesh.
