Quick, I don't want to be in love anymore

Chapter 415 Adaptation of the Little Mermaid from a Fairy Tale (22)

After all, how could she be so easily bribed as the Queen's trusted maid?

She was bribed because of the king, who was restless while the queen was pregnant and eventually became involved with a maid who already harbored ambitions.

To avoid upsetting the Queen and causing any mishap to the child, the King ordered her to pretend nothing had happened.

This filled the maid, who had always dreamed of becoming the king, with hatred in her heart. She firmly believed that as long as the queen was gone, no one could stop her from being with the king.

Even if she couldn't become queen, she could still become the king's mistress, instead of continuing to be a lowly maid without any title or status, as she is now.

So what if she's the Queen's personal maid? She still has to serve others.

Perhaps, if her womb were to be more fertile and give birth to a prince for the king, she would rise to a very high position.

Therefore, she strongly supported Allen's idea. However, she never expected that the Queen would survive at the last moment thanks to the miraculous medicine sent by her family.

After learning that the Queen could not have more children but her life had been saved, she panicked for a while, and then left the palace on the grounds of feeling unwell.

She kept this matter a secret until then, and outside the palace, she used her own methods and her identity as the queen's personal maid, which she despised the most, to marry a count.

After marriage, she gave birth to two sons, and the family lived a happy life.

After finding clues from some people from that year, the queen's confidant approached her and threatened her two sons' lives to force her to tell the truth about what happened back then.

Who could have imagined that someone who committed such a heartless act would care so much about her sons? Before she was taken away, she pleaded with the Queen to spare them. Thinking of all this, the Queen felt not only hatred for the King, but also deep self-loathing for being so blind and foolish as to have chosen such an ambitious and treacherous person as her personal maid.

Allen chuckled and continued talking to himself.

"You don't know, do you? Your son is quite strong. He's never uttered a sound when he's been beaten since he was a child. Even when he cries, he covers his mouth tightly so that he doesn't make a sound."

It was even funnier when he was little. He was clearly terrified, but he would never beg for mercy. He would just sit in the corner, huddled up, and every time I took a step closer, he would shudder. It was so funny, hahaha…”

Hearing his proud tone, the king could no longer hold back and punched him hard.

Allen collapsed to the ground, then sat up again, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb without a care, and continued speaking.

"If he didn't look so much like you, maybe I would beat him less. But he looks so much like you, every time I beat him it feels like I'm beating you. It's so satisfying. The prince has been beaten by me since he was a child, hahaha!"

The queen was trembling with anger when suddenly, the boy gently took her hand.

She glanced at him, then reached out and drew the sword from the guard beside her, solemnly handing it to the young man.

"Let you end this nightmare yourself."

Her eyes held encouragement. The boy hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and took the sword from her hand...
