Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 48 Please remember what you said today, Your Highness. I'll be watching closely.

Nowadays.

Scarlett is no longer bothered by becoming a duke.

Although a ruler does not speak in jest.

But if you want to joke with someone, you can't refuse.

She took it as a joke.

We'll live our lives the way we always have.

After breakfast, Scarlett received some news that she wasn't sure if it was good or bad: Holster had woken up.

Scarlett recalled the original owner's relationship with Holst.

have grudges.

There is a deep-seated grudge.

The original owner had once thought about improving her mental strength, so she briefly fell for Holster. After a series of attempts to win his favor, she still failed to gain his affection. In the end, she found an aphrodisiac and gave it to him, intending to forcefully possess his body.

First the kidneys, then the heart.

The domineering princess's forced love.

When Holster went into heat, the original owner went to his room, but was harshly rejected by him.

Being drugged with an aphrodisiac and still able to remain rational and refuse her was a great humiliation for the original owner. She turned evil on the spot and ordered someone to inject Holster with a beast-form drug to turn him back into a beast. Then she took out tweezers and plucked off his protective scales one by one.

Unlike other scales, the heart-protecting scales do not have regenerative abilities, and they are extremely important to scaled orcs, serving as akin to a protective armor for the heart.

It lost its protective scales.

Holst remained in a coma for three months and underwent another three months of treatment before slowly recovering.

Holster's mental consciousness collapsed largely because he lost his protective scales, giving the Zerg an opportunity to exploit him.

Otherwise, with his SSS-level mental strength, he would never have been defeated to such an extent.

therefore.

Scarlett was very careful when she went to see him.

Choose the best fruits, flowers, and supplements to bring with you.

Scarlett arranged a new room for Holster, and he is currently lying in the room, resting with his eyes closed.

They heard someone come in.

His thick eyelashes fluttered, lifting his eyelids.

His smoky gray pupils looked at the newcomer, a flicker in his eyes, but his gaze remained perfectly calm.

"Your Highness."

He was about to stand up and bow when he said that.

"No, don't be busy, just lie down," Scarlett said, stopping her.

Holster is very weak right now, and she's afraid that he might accidentally use too much force and fall off the bed, which would only worsen his injury.

Holster paused for a moment, then propped himself up with his hands and leaned against the headboard.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Scarlett didn't really want to stay here.

That scene left a deep impression on her; whenever she saw Holster, she would think of that cold tongue.

My scalp is tingling.

Forcing herself to be cheerful, she put on a kind smile and inquired about Holster's health with concern.

Holster answered them one by one, his attitude indifferent, his eyes occasionally glancing at Scarlett's face, as if trying to figure out why she was asking these questions.

To the end.

Holster paused deliberately and said, "Your Highness, I lost control that day and almost hurt you. Please punish me."

The tone of this sentence is very serious.

The deep, resonant tone echoed in Scarlett's ears, causing a slight tingling sensation in her ear tips.

Scarlett rubbed her earlobe, not wanting to recall that day, and smiled casually, saying, "It's okay. You had a mental breakdown back then and couldn't do what you wanted. I won't blame you, and you don't need to take it to heart. Just rest well and get better."

Holster moved his dry lips, his expression unreadable, though it looked somewhat awkward. "Your Highness seems different than before."

Scarlett smiled, her expression natural. "Every time I clash with you, my mother punishes me, and the StarNet spreads all sorts of rumors about me. I don't want to see these vile words anymore, so I've decided to live peacefully with you. Anyway, we're getting a divorce, so let's part ways amicably."

"divorce?"

A cold glint flashed in Holts's eyes. "Will His Highness divorce us?"

Scarlett nodded firmly. "Of course. I'll get a divorce as soon as the three-month cooling-off period is over."

As long as I can appease you and you don't kill me, she'll leave me in less than three months.

Holster stared into Scarlett's eyes and smiled, "Then please remember what you said today, Your Highness. I'll be watching."

Scarlett left.

Holst felt a tearing pain in his heart again.

He pressed his hand to his chest, his brow furrowed in pain.

The pain subsided after a long while.

This time, however, after the pain subsided, he did not immediately find peace. Instead, a dense itching sensation crept up his heart, as if ants were crawling and biting on it, making his heart both painful and itchy.

It's so uncomfortable.

How could this happen? Has the wound become infected?
Holst lifted his shirt and glanced down at his chest.

This look.

He was completely stunned. His smoky gray eyes were torn between astonishment and doubt, and he almost doubted what he was seeing.

He reached out, his fingertips trembling with excitement, and after a long while, he finally touched his heart.

A cold, smooth touch flowed over his fingertips; the edges, though soft, also carried a hint of sharpness, gently scraping his fingers.

Scales.

Transparent scales.

Three protective scales have grown back on his chest!
……

……

Scarlett has a restless personality.

She quickly put leveling up on her agenda.

Only Dzeko wasn't there.

There were only four of them, and with the new leveling area and new rules, Scarlett felt she needed to plan things out carefully.

while eating.

Scarlett mentioned it briefly.

Upon hearing this, Sylvia snorted and arrogantly declared, "I'm not going."

He was still angry with Scarlett.

Chi Ye also said, "I'm not going either."

He won't always tolerate a female who is fickle and gives him away to someone else; he will occasionally rebel to prove his position.

Holst sat in the seat furthest from them.

Looking at their expressions and the words they uttered.

He was clearly rejecting Scarlett, but his face clearly said, "Come and coax me, a little coaxing will make me feel better."

When did those two become so shameless?
Don't you dislike Scarlett? Why are you sending her this kind of signal?

He only went to another planet, a round trip of no more than ten days. Even if his head had been squeezed in a door, he should have been cured by now.

Holster's thoughts had barely settled when he heard Riley say awkwardly, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, the Privy Council has important matters to attend to these days, so I can't go."

Holst's gaze shifted to Riley.

Is he genuine or faking it?

That tone sounds so harsh.

three people.

They all felt off to varying degrees.

Did Scarlett do something to them?

Scarlett was initially quite desperate as she listened to the three of them, knowing that Chi Ye and Sylvia were angry and that she had to coax them.

But upon hearing Riley's words, she suddenly felt less hopeless.

If Riley doesn't go, she can find power leveling services on the dark web, all kinds are available, and the customer satisfaction rate is 100%.

She raised her eyes, about to speak, when Chi Ye glanced at her smiling face and, combining that with what Riley had said, immediately guessed what Scarlett was about to say. His expression tightened, and he blurted out, "I'll go!"

Sevier was taken aback and turned to look at him. "Why are you swearing?"

Chiye: "..."

I said I'm going, not I'm going to you...

How is that considered swearing!

He really wants to swear right now.

Chi Ye hesitated for a moment, then said, "I meant I would go with Scarlett. Since Riley isn't going, I have to take on the responsibility of protecting the female master, so I'll reluctantly go with her."

Chi Ye said he was going.

Sevia is getting anxious.

We were just on the same side a moment ago, how come you changed your tune so quickly! You traitor!

He looked at Scarlett, pursed his lips with a pitiful expression, and raised his head as a last act of defiance.

"If Chi Ye goes, I'll go too."

Even if the two of them go, Scarlett will still be one person short.

Scarlett didn't place her hopes on Holster, so she didn't even look at him.

He added a piece of food to both Chi Ye and Sevier's plate and praised them, saying, "That's a good boy."

The two of them turned their faces away in unison: "Hmph!"

This scene.

Holster's brow furrowed as he watched, thinking Scarlett's behavior resembled dog training.

Chi Ye and Sylvia have become the most obedient dogs in her hands.

He was increasingly curious about what Scarlett had done to them, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as he said, "I'll go too."
