Prince Andrew is currently inside the dungeon. The husband and wife are both tight-lipped and refuse to provide the answers that he wants to hear! He tried physical torture on the man but he really would not spill the beans! Since he could not torture him to death so he changed his strategy. He will use psychological torture instead!
"Are you going to tell me what I want to know or something bad will happen to your beloved wife..." He maliciously stared at the beautiful middle-aged woman tied to a chair beside the man who is panting and hanging from the ceiling, tied to chains, blood dripping severely from the physical tortures that were applied to his huge muscular body.
This time the woman could not take it anymore seeing her husband's suffering!
"You are truly an evil incarnate! We made the right decision not to marry off our daughter to someone like you!" Lady Andrea could no longer keep her mouth shut! Her heart is aching seeing her husband's physical, mental, and emotional suffering!
Prince Andrew's face became darker, colder, and more malevolent after he heard it!
I am right! These two people know something very important about me and my Beatrix! They know about the nature of our connection to each other! I am going to find out soon...
"Andrea! Do not interrupt! Stay out of this!" General Ardor warned his wife not to interfere as much as possible.
Sad to say, General Ardor could not protect her or himself at this time! He and his wife were captured by this cursed and hateful prince! When his daughter told them about her previous lifetimes, he made a further and deeper secret investigation about the two princes, especially Prince Andrew! He uncovered many dangerous secrets like the existence of his black army, ghost navy, red assassins, and shadow spies! The general discovered the hidden and dangerous power and influence of Prince Andrew. He could guess the nature of Prince Andrew's ambition but it is a pity that he lacks concrete evidence to present it to the emperor!
At first, he thought that this hateful entity must have discovered that he knew too much which is why he laid an effective trap for him and his wife, Andrea. They grandly fell into his trap while they are on their way to their vacation! The worse is no one will know of their disappearance for at least four months since he and his wife are supposedly on vacation!
This prince is truly a sly fox! Now, he is torturing him to death but to his amazement and contrary to what he expected, this hateful entity did not ask him about the sensitive information that he knew about him, other imperial family members, the Sky Empire, other officials, and the neighboring empires... He seems interested to know everything about his daughter and he is itching to know if he and his daughter have a connection or some sort of relation to each other aside from the canceled betrothal.
General Ardor understood that Prince Andrew is already aware of all the tricks the Lamoreaux and Marvel families did to break the marriage arrangement! He feels that the evil entity is not happy about it! He is torturing him just to know all things about his daughter but he, as a Father and General, is determined to never reveal anything to him! He could kill him but he will never reveal his daughter's secret!
General Ardor is glad that he did not do anything bad to his wife, Andrea, or at least none at the moment but he is so afraid that this hateful entity will do it soon. He does not know if he could continue his firm stand if this evil incarnate does something bad to his wife!
"Tell me everything about my Beatrix. Tell me why she escaped marrying into the imperial family. I know that we have some sort of special connection... What is it?" Prince Andrew rephrased his question.
"Your Highness Prince Andrew, the only connection between you and my daughter is the broken marriage arrangement. That is all!" The General repeated his answer. "Your Highness, please release me and my wife. We will act as if nothing happened!"
Prince Andrew smiled maliciously...
"Do you share the same thoughts, Lady Andrea? If you cooperate and tell me exactly what I want to know, you have my word that I will immediately release both of you..." Prince Andrew declared.
Lady Andrea looked at her suffering husband. She understands his hidden message: 'Do not tell him anything!' so she steeled herself and lied.
"As my husband said, there is nothing special, Your Highness Prince Andrew. Your only connection is the broken marriage arrangement." She repeated what her husband said.
Prince Andrew looked at both of them.
Do they think I am stupid? I could feel that they are not telling the truth!!!
