Episode 133- Forbidden Secret: Crown Prince

Previous episode: The group of women all looked like Lea. Con broke the death of Kal to them only to be met with pointed fingers. Crown Prince Nexiel announced his identity and the group of women broke down. Lise introduces a woman with no name; the one who makes the ''tribute figures'. Kal keeps figures that are important to him, sells less important ones, and buries the rest under the Royal Lake.

"To be their last.".

Lise turned to Eugene with a raised brow, "L, last?"

Eugene glanced at her feet with no emotions in her eyes and continued, "For no one to find them. For they can only be bound to him for eternity. To be their last man." In other words, to be chained even in death.

Eugene felt that the no-name woman was wrong. To leave his tribe figures under the Royal lake could only mean one thing. His hypnotism failed and these women weren't truly under his control and weren't obedient. He found this extremely displeasing; hence, they can only suffer in agony even after death.

And for the ones he... gives and sells, they were mostly ones he felt bored with or didn't care. At least... this was what her former family would have done. To keep people they hate in agony even after death.

The room turned silent at Eugene's interpretation of the tribute figures. Though they didn't hear why Eugene had come to this conclusion, they could tell that she was implying that this was Kal's way of humiliating the women even after their deaths.

Hal shut his eyes tightly closed as he hung his head down. He wanted to say that this was too cruel, but there was something in him that thought agreed with her. He knows how cruel Kal was, and this... was something he would do.

Crown Prince Nexiel exhaled loudly and raised a brow at Eugene, "What makes you think of this in such a... scary way?" He felt that there was something else Eugene was hiding, otherwise, she wouldn't comprehend the tribute figures in such a... horrifying way.

The no-name woman who had been listening in silence smiled slightly.

"... Because the tributes aren't just stone figures." It was Aernest who replied. He walked to Euria's side once he was finished.

"What do you mean?"

Eugene shifted her eyes to the smiling woman and made known, "The tribute figures are made from real bodies." Like a natural response to Eugene, the no-name woman's smile got wider.

Eugene continued, "They are made from the bodies of those who have died. Am I right, Lady." She directed the question to the no-name woman whose eyes were twinkling in fascination and amusement.

No one knew how to react. They only turned to the no-name woman blankly before a dreadful feeling could be felt in their chest and stomach. Immediately, they backed away from the woman whose face was getting scary and creepier. Unlike her dull appearance and her soft voice that had no presence, the woman now was standing out. And the way she was standing out was spine-chilling; as if her mask had cracked.

The woman chuckled and she stood up, "I wonder how you found out?" Her voice was crisp and cold, no longer soft. The group of women who were beside her ran away to the other side of the room instinctively because of the pure pressure that was radiating off her.

Lise's body trembled at the overwhelming pressure, "....Older s, sister?" she trailed her words as she stared at the 'kind' sister in horror.

Without words said, Con, Dea, and Aedelak stepped in front of the younger children. They had no idea what this woman was capable of, but the fact that she was exerting such immense pressure indicated that she wasn't ordinary or weak.
