Adelaide's POV

It's been a while since I step foot into the dungeon where they kept the dowager and her husband. But today is the day- the day of torture.

I stood in front of the couple's cell with a smile on my face. It's weird to see them like this. They were born in richest and yet this is how they spent their life for the last ten years- as slaves. Well, they did some awful things to their people. It's only fair for them to live this way.

"Adelaide— ADELAIDE! Let us go if you know what is best for you. If that person knows what happened to us, he will never let you go!" The old man keep yapping about some guy for ten years.

I am amazed that Moloch could bring them back from the pits of hell everytime they died. But the result from that made them look like a walking corpse now— a zombie is what the young knights called them.

"Oh, your majesty— you're here early. I'm sorry for the delay. Serafina is in a really bad mood. So- what shall we do today?" Moloch asked as he stood next to me.

"Let's play with their memories. It would be better to show them what it used to be when they were on the peak of their life. Also- get your demons to track down Victor from the forest of monsters. I wish to see him in person." Moloch hummed.

"Well, the things is— Victor is here. The emperor pick him up herself a few days ago." Oh- why would Astoria—

"Speaking of the devil- there he is." Moloch was pointed at a wooden box carried by two knights.

"Victor is in there?" Moloch nodded and asked the knights to put the box down.

"The emperor asked me to cast a spell. He will spend his eternity inside this box. I suggest that you prepare your stomach before opening—" I didn't wait for Moloch to end his sentences and just simply open the box.

I laughed at the sight of my ex husband.

"How is he alive with only his head remain in all these liquid?" I asked the demon.

"The liquid is his body. Usually the spell was cast on demons who betrayed their master. Victor was a special case. And the emperor needs to make him as an example for the retainers who began to show their true colours. I have two more nobles that needs to be place inside the box." Moloch sigh.

"What did they do?" Moloch explained to me that the nobles were talking about Astra in a rude way.

"I see- well, what are you waiting for? Turned them into— whatever this is. Put them on displayed for a week for everyone to see." I smiled at Moloch who look at me with wide eyes.

"But your majesty- you said you wouldn't show such sight to the people of this empire. Why-" I turned and face Moloch.

"Just do what I told you to do. We given these nobles a second chance and yet they think they could say whatever they wish to say. I don't like those kind of people. My children will understand." Moloch nodded before I leave the dungeon.

As I leave the dungeon door, I was surprised to see Aeron and Archer waiting for me. The servant close the door immediately while I guide the boys away from such place.

"What a surprise to see both of you here. So, there there anything momma can do for you?" I asked with a smile, hoping they didn't hear what I just said to Moloch.

"We saw mama kill a man. But please don't tell mama we went into the throne room without permission. It's just- we have something to saw when we saw mama stab the man multiple times." Astoria! Just what are you doing while I wasn't there?!
