Princess Freya?

Freya squinted her eyes and asked, "Is this girl Quinn's sister who is not related by blood?"

Freya knew a little about the Yael royal family.

Arthur Yael had two wives.

Quinn's mother was the queen, who, due to health reasons, couldn't bear children, so she adopted Quinn.

Later on, Arthur Yael took concubines in order to have descendants.

It seems that ying of these queens gave birth to a little princess.

And if Freya is not mistaken, this princess is none other than Princess Freya.

Bradley nodded, "That's right, it's her!"

Upon receiving the invitation, Bradley was somewhat surprised. After all, it was just a princess's birthday banquet, there was no need to make such a big deal out of it. But unexpectedly, the Ye Lu royal family sent an invitation to the Imperial Garden Villa.

Bradley felt it necessary to ask Freya if she wanted to go, he would be happy to accompany her. Freya nodded and said, "Go, after all, you will soon inherit the throne of the Southern Kingdom, and it is essential to have diplomatic relations with Z Country, necessary exchanges are needed."

"Alright, let's go together!" Bradley gently pinched her cheek, feeling relieved by her understanding of the overall situation.

Indeed, in just twenty years, the Southern Kingdom had experienced two changes in dynasty, a situation known to the international community. In addition, the Long family had offended many countries during their rule, and the situation in the Southern Kingdom was currently unstable, making alliances necessary.

If the Southern Kingdom could form an alliance with Z Country, rulers of other nations would also fear the Ye Lu royal family and refrain from interfering with the Southern Kingdom.

Therefore, it was indeed imperative to attend this birthday banquet!

Meanwhile, in Z country, Quinn paced anxiously in the living room. At that moment, a guard walked in from outside and eagerly approached, "Excuse me, has the invitation been sent out?" "Yes, Your Highness, it has been delivered to the Imperial View Villa." Quinn was overjoyed at the news, a smile uncontrollably forming on his lips, "Great, as long as it's been delivered." The southern country had just changed rulers, and the situation was unstable. He believed that Bradley would definitely attend the banquet with Reita upon receiving the invitation. By then, he and Reita would be able to meet again. Last time, he left a bad impression on her, but this time, no matter what, he needed to make her see him in a new light. "By the way, Your Highness, I just met the King on the way here. He requests your presence at the council chamber for a meeting."

Quinn listened to the words, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by unease and anxiety.

Just last night, he had partied too hard and accidentally killed a maid in bed. His father was looking for him now, probably because of this.

"Tell father that I am feeling unwell today and can't get out of bed!"

Quinn didn't want to go and face his father's scolding.

This father had never liked him, and an incident like this would definitely make him furious.

"You good-for-nothing, you call this unable to get out of bed?"

Just as he finished speaking, a stern voice could be heard from outside.

Quinn realized things were getting serious and looked up towards the door.

He saw Arthur Yael being escorted by two guards, stepping into the room.

"Fat... Father..."

Quinn was somewhat afraid, his voice still trembling.

After the incident in the capital of the Magniflora, his father restricted his movements and froze all his funds upon his return.

If not for this, he would not have fallen so low as to directly target the maids.

Little did he know that those maids were so fragile, they died on the bed after just a few moves.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard a crisp 'slap' sound, and his face burned with pain.

Quinn covered his face, looking up in disbelief at his father's eyes, which were red with anger.

"As an heir, before learning how to govern a country, ying must first learn to control ying's words and actions. If you can't even do that, how can I trust you to take over the entire country?"

Although the incident from last night was suppressed by Quinn in time, there are no walls that do not leak, and the news reached Arthur Yael's ears.

Learning of Quinn's debauchery, Arthur Yael was utterly disappointed.

He had raised this son with all his heart, and even though he was not of his own blood, he still entrusted him with the right to inherit.

But he is really good, completely lacking any royal demeanor, just indulging in love affairs all day long. Now, causing such inhumane things, torturing a young girl to death in the prime of her youth. If he does not step in and control this son, it is feared that even greater disasters will occur next. Quinn saw his father's anger and hurriedly knelt down on the ground. "Father, I know my mistake, please give me another chance!" He knew his identity, he was not at all the legitimate heir of Yael. With just a word from his father, he could easily abolish his current position. If he leaves the Yael royal family, he will be nothing. Quinn was very clear that now he had to admit his mistake first in order to preserve Everyone he currently had. "Chance? How dare you mention a chance to me. Last time when you returned from the capital, how did you assure me?" Arthur Yael was furious, raised his foot and kicked heavily towards his chest.

Arthur Yael excelled in martial arts when he was young. With a single kick, he made the person vomit blood.

Quinn held his chest and dared not to breathe. Because he knew that the more he tried to explain, the more he couldn't dispel his father's anger. Yet, he couldn't help clenching his fists.

If he truly had the Yael bloodline, Arthur Yael would never dare to treat him like this. But because he was just a puppet nurtured by him, Arthur Yael never showed mercy to his subordinates. He only cared about the face of the Yael royal family and its reputation internationally, not his own life.

Therefore, if he committed an unforgivable mistake, this man would destroy himself for the sake of the family's dignity. Arthur Yael kicked twice in a row, panting a bit due to his age.

After catching his breath, he called the guards and ordered, "Take this sinner away, give him twenty lashes, then lock him in the Palace. He is not allowed to step out of the palace without my command!"

"Yes!"

The guard came closer and said to Quinn, "Apologies, Prince." He then led him outside.

As he was pushed to the ground and knelt in front of the grand courtyard, Quinn's eyes flashed with a malicious hatred.

He tightened his muscles, allowing the stick to hit him over and over again.

At that moment, a bold idea surged in his mind!

He would become powerful!

And make all those who had insulted him pay the price!
