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

Chapter 7: A narrow escape, a new mission begins.

Scarlett timidly replied, "Your subject knows her mistake."

"Are you aware of your mistake?"

Catherine was taken aback for a moment.

Scarlett is introverted and deep-thinking. Even when she is wrong, she never admits it so easily. She always uses sarcastic remarks and argues her point until she can no longer find a way to defend herself before choosing to back down.

Catherine was somewhat surprised by how readily they agreed today.

Catherine raised an eyebrow slightly, gave a nonchalant "Oh," and continued, "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Scarlett nodded obediently, "Your subject knows. Your subject's mistake was not posting Riley's photo on StarNet, which gave them the opportunity to slander you and humiliate the royal family."

Catherine: “???”

Release photos? That's all?
Seeing that Catherine's serious expression softened, Scarlett continued, "Mother, I am petty and do not like my beast husband having too much contact with other females."

At this point, Scarlett choked up, "Princess Sophia comforted my beastly husband without my consent. I feel humiliated and should punish my beastly husband. Isn't that right?"

A beastman who has a female master cannot accept the comfort of other females, as this is an insult to the female master.

Sofia knew this all along, yet she still comforted her beastly husband in public.

This would be humiliating for any female.

Besides, Scarlett was an imperial princess.

Upon hearing this, Catherine's expression remained indifferent. She glanced at Scarlett, ignoring her slightly reddened eyes, and said coldly, "Scarlett, you're just an F-rank female. You can't appease your beast husband. If Sophia doesn't intervene, Riley will die."

If it were in the past, the original owner would have turned away in despair upon hearing these words.

She is indeed an F-class female. Why would the emperor, who is high and mighty, bestow marriages upon her with these high-ranking males when he knows he cannot appease her?
Are you waiting to see her make a fool of herself?

Scarlett, however, was different. She remained calm and argued logically: "Your Majesty is mistaken. Riley was injured not far from the Royal Court, and the Royal Medical Center is nearby, just a few steps away."

"The medicines in the medical institute are all developed by the Advanced Research Institute. Although they are not as soothing as female medicine, they can temporarily suppress the collapsing mental sea of ​​males, so there is no need for female medicine to soothe them."

"Otherwise, how could so many males in the empire survive without a female master? You agree, Your Majesty."

"presumptuous!"

Catherine slammed her hand on the jade dragon head of the throne.

The aura of an SSS-level female, once unleashed, is enough to destroy the entire imperial court.

Catherine suppressed most of her aura, but even so, she still managed to break the dragon head off the throne.

The jade dragon head, a symbol of royal majesty, rolled down the steps and landed at Scarlett's feet.

Scarlett's eyes widened when she saw it.

In hindsight, he realized that his last sentence had been too sharp and had offended the Empress.

It's over.

Another difficult person to appease. We haven't even finished appeasing the four at home yet.

Damn it.

Scarlett trembled, her body drenched in cold sweat.

Hesitant about whether to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.

The Empress's sharp question came from above.

"Scarlett, are you so jealous because you love your beastly husband, or because you loathe him?"

This is a question that could cost you your life.

The original owner answered with disgust and was put in solitary confinement.

The beastly husbands were bestowed upon them by the Empress; to hate them is to hate the Empress.

This was a provocation to the absolute imperial power.

To say that one likes someone would be suspected of deceiving the emperor.

Although Scarlett lived in her own mansion, she was surrounded by the Queen's spies. Every word and action of hers was under the Queen's watchful eye, and she could not lie in the slightest.

The original owner's usual behavior of abusing her beast husband was already a silent provocation.

Right now, we must avoid escalating the conflict and come up with a tactful explanation.

Scarlett thought it over and over, then knelt down and replied, "I didn't like it before, but I like it now."

Catherine didn't speak, but looked at her with a calm gaze.

Scarlett didn't look up, but she noticed the Queen's unfriendly gaze. She pursed her lips, decided to take a gamble, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Majesty, after the marriage, I hated you. I didn't understand why you bestowed them upon me. They were too powerful, so powerful that I loathed them."

"Later, I gradually realized that you were doing it for my own good."

"They are brave and skilled in battle, with unparalleled appearance and achievements in various fields of the empire. They are rare talents. It is because you feel sorry for your useless son that you use them to protect him."

"After I understood your good intentions, I was even more afraid that they would be taken away, so I locked them up and kept them by my side."

"Your Majesty, I both despise and love them. Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please forgive me!"

The original owner's beast husbands came from various families, and if you look at the relationships, they can all be considered as arranged marriages.

The better the original owner's relationship with them, the closer the relationship between the various families and the royal family became.

If Scarlett can see her mistake and turn back from the wrong path, she might be able to get out of her current predicament.

After hearing Scarlett's words, Catherine did not speak immediately. She sat upright above, her eyes coldly scanning Scarlett.

After a long silence, she narrowed her eyes and said quietly, "Scarlett, I entrust the matter of StarNet to you. If you don't handle it well, don't blame me for being ruthless."
