Chapter 33: I want to be both your younger brother and stepmother. (10)

Xinuo clenched his fists, his thick eyebrows always displaying an undeniable determination.

He said firmly, "I disagree. I would rather endure thirty lashes than accept such punishment."

Rafa narrowed his eyes slightly, a glint of sharpness passing through the dark red pupils. The icy aura emanating from him made everyone bow their heads in silence, afraid to anger the king.

Only Yue Chu seemed to understand, with a hint of complaint hidden in his helplessness as he glanced quietly at Rafa.

He knew Xinuo would not like his suggestion, but His Majesty insisted on him speaking.

The astute Rafa easily caught Yue Chu's subtle glance. The anger that had just simmered down seemed to be extinguished instantly like rain dousing a raging fire.

He had always thought Yue Chu was always gentle, but he hadn't expected this hint of a temper. However, he didn't dislike it; in fact, he quite liked it.

Rafa warned Xinuo with a hint of dissatisfaction at his inexplicable behavior, "Xinuo, don't say such stubborn words."

But Xinuo completely disregarded it. He couldn't take off his shirt because Anna's name was already tattooed on his chest. If everyone saw it, Anna would surely be in danger, and he couldn't allow that.

What did it matter if he received only ten lashes?

Xinuo never considered that Feilin and Dila, who hadn't done anything wrong, would be implicated and punished because of him. At this moment, his heart was filled with one thing: Anna.

He lifted his chin, stubbornly staring at his father, and said each word firmly, "I! Refuse!"

Rafa's eyes grew cold, his brows furrowing like dark clouds blocking the sun, lightning flashing within.

Seeing Rafa about to get angry, Yue Chu quickly stepped forward, elegantly bowing, "Your Majesty, His Highness is not wrong. This kind of punishment is indeed detrimental to His Highness's dignity. How about letting me take the punishment instead of His Highness? As long as His Highness can make up for it in the upcoming trials, it will suffice."

How could this be?

The thought flashed through Rafa's mind immediately, yet he couldn't understand why he disagreed. There was nothing wrong with Yue Chu's arrangement; since Xinuo was of noble birth, it was acceptable for someone else to take his place. But...

He gazed at Yue Chu's face, those clear eyes blinking at him slowly, the long and thick eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, gracefully sincere, making it hard to look away.

Rafa felt somewhat uneasy, lowering his gaze and making a slight gesture, a silent agreement.

Xinuo breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't have to take off his clothes, any arrangement would do. He quietly stepped aside, unaware of the deep disappointment in Rafa's eyes.

The scorching sun pierced through the thin clouds, illuminating the white marble tiles, and reflecting a silvery light that dazzled the eyes. In the spacious square, Yue Chu and the others were tied to pillars, their upper bodies exposed. Of course, Feilin didn't fully undress; she was still wearing an intricately patterned corset, revealing her exquisite figure.
