Chapter 569
Keith was clearly here to stand up for Charles. At this point, who would dare to speak out?
Esme exclaimed furiously, "Won't any of you say anything?"
"That's enough!" Keith shouted harshly. "Without any evidence, if you dare to speak nonsense again, you'll be obstructing my duty, and I'll have every right to execute you on the spot!"
"I have evidence! Look at them," Esme said as she pointed at the people who had been restrained and had their heads marked.
Charles said, "That was part of a wager between us. They willingly let me mark them!"
"Is what Prince Charles said true?" Keith asked while looking at the marked people.
"It's true. We willingly let Prince Charles mark us," they replied with resignation.
"You guys..."
Esme was trembling with rage. She couldn't believe how cowardly these people were, covering up for those who had wronged them.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Keith asked Esme coldly.
Esme retorted, "If they were willing to be marked, then the same goes for Prince Charles!"
"Nonsense! We fought fairly, but this bastard ambushed me. When I tried to stop him, he stabbed my hand. Look!"
Charles raised his hand, which was still bleeding.
"Hurry up and bandage Prince Charles' hand!" Keith urgently ordered his men. Then, he turned to Esme and said coldly, "You're twisting the truth and obstructing justice. I'm going to execute you right here and now!" Marie was terrified as she pleaded, "Lord Eastsea, please spare her. She's young and didn't know better. Please forgive her this once."
Keith sneered as he replied, "It doesn't matter what the reason is. Everyone must pay the price for their mistakes."
Marie quickly looked at Charles and said, "Prince Charles, she's your future princess! Please say something to Lord Eastsea." Charles said, "Lord Eastsea, I want this woman to serve me. Don't kill her."
"As you wish. I'll have her captured and delivered to you," Keith responded sycophantically. Then, he ordered his men, "Seize her!" "Let's see who dares to touch her!"
Just as the soldiers moved to grab Esme, a woman suddenly barged in.
Everyone turned to see a striking woman in a bright red dress striding in. She was graceful and stunning. It was Gina, who had been waiting outside the whole time.
Many people in the room would recognize her as Lord Hydra, so she had waited until now to make her entrance.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
"All hail Lord Hydra."
Those who recognized her quickly bowed, and the rest followed suit once they realized who she was.
"Lord Hydra, what brings you here?" Keith smiled faintly at her but did not bow to her.
Although his rank was technically lower than hers, he believed himself superior to the four war gods in both strength and skill.
Lyra immediately recognized Gina
and knew that she was connected to Sebastian. Upon learning that she was the Lord Hydra, Lyra glanced over at Sebastian. She was both surprised and confused.
"Gina!"
Esme was overjoyed to see Gina and quickly ran over to her.
"Oh? Do you know each other?" Keith asked, slightly surprised.
Gina said coldly, "Esme is my best friend. Are you sure you want to arrest her?"
Keith replied, "Lord Hydra, I'm not going to embarrass you because she's your friend. However, she has falsely accused Prince Charles of assault and interfered with my duty. As a God of War, I must enforce the law impartially. I hope you understand."
