Martin’s eyes flickered, but he did not respond after a long time.

The moment Carmella fell to the floor, his heart was momentarily gripped. It felt like a ripple, though, spreading out

in circles and leaving no trace afterward.

In spite of it, they were husband and wife. He was not a heartless beast without feelings.

Carmella’s pitiful state brought back flashes of the good times she had had with him in his mind.

“Get a doctor to treat the queen’s wound first.”

Noah was surprised but complied with a nod nonetheless.

Carmella was soon treated, and the bleeding from her head stopped. She was then taken back to her palace for

rest, but it was heavily guarded, and she could not move around freely anymore.

Noah looked at Martin. The old king looked tired. His eyes lacked luster and brimmed with endless self-blame and

despair instead.

Noah bowed slightly. “Your Majesty, once Her Majesty’s health improves, officials from the judiciary department will

come to take her away. There are still many details to be examined regarding this case, so…”

“How many years will she be sentenced to?”

Noah was slightly taken aback but answered truthfully, “The best outcome would be 30 years.”

Martin closed his eyes and breathed out. “And the worst?”

“For life.”

Martin nodded. After a moment of silence, he said softly, “These punishments aren’t enough for her.”

“What?” Noah was astonished.

Martin’s voice was quivering. “She harmed my younger sister and my niece and kept me in the dark for almost 20

years! She’s ruined Helene for life!

“I admit that I had a moment of weakness just now. After all, we’ve been married for years. It’d be a lie to say that I

feel nothing…

“But if I cave in and plead her case for her because of it, I’ll be sorry to my parents, every member of the Charles,

and my younger sister and niece who have suffered so much out there all these years!”

“Your Majesty, you mean…”

“Everything she has done is for me and for my throne, right?” Martin chuckled wryly. “Then I’ll show her how I

destroy everything!”

Noah looked at the king in shock.

Martin stood by the window. The chilly moonlight shone on him, coating him with silver. He lifted his hands to

remove the crown he wore—the movement was solemn and formal, as if it was a ceremony.

“I step down as king.”

Noah was stunned speechless, but Martin smiled. It was a smile of relief and the easiest one he had over these 20

years.

Whatever he did would not be able to recompense Helene. Only by destroying himself—the man Carmella had built,

by ruining the throne she cared about the most—could these turn into a sharp knife that stabbed right into her

heart!

“But Your Majesty…” The tip of Noah’s nose was dotted with sweat. “Won’t you have to pen a declaration to tell the

world and announce your successor?”

The rules of the royal family were complex and tedious. The succession of the throne, especially, had to be done

cautiously.

Martin had abdicated, so could the next-in-line be…

Noah blinked and could not help sighing inwardly at his son’s shrewd judgment.

“I’ll write the decree,” Martin replied in a low tone. “As for my successor, I’ve considered it.”

He stroked the gemstone on the crown. “I’ll pass the throne to the one I trust the most. The future ruler of

Southeast Aciatic will certainly make this country better.”

“Your Majesty… who is it?”

“Alexander.”

Noah paused again. Although Alexander being the next-in-line was not detrimental to him, it was just a little far in

relationship compared to his daughter-in-law.
