Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 548 - 518: Repaying Every Humiliation of the Past
At the same time, the beast’s light blue long hair gradually faded, turning back into the familiar orange-brown curls from memory.
But what was different was that half of Sivall’s face was ruined.
One half of his face remained eerily delicate, while the other half was grotesquely demonic, chilling and utterly repulsive!
Seeing the woman’s shocked expression, Sivall’s lips curled into a smile as he spoke slowly, "No matter how much Your Majesty detests me, I am the one who has accompanied you for so many years. The only one who truly understands you is me."
He stepped closer to Jialouluo, his cold aura winding around her like a venomous snake, as he leaned in and whispered, "I know all your preferences, even if I wore a different face, I would still be able to return to your side."
Jialouluo was forced to take several steps back, putting distance between them.
She gazed at the familiar yet unfamiliar beast before her, deep blue beautiful eyes filled with intense disgust, her low melodious voice carried with overwhelming anger, "So it is you! You dared to secretly escape, and still have the nerve to appear before me!"
Sivall sneered, "I have a clear conscience, why should I fear facing Your Majesty?"
Jialouluo’s face showed mockery; this bastard and his son had once tried to kill Jia Lan, yet he still had the nerve to say such things!
"How did you escape?" Jialouluo asked coldly, "Where is Jia Lin? Where is he?"
Upon hearing these words, the false smile on Sivall’s face could no longer be maintained.
His gaze turned sinister and dangerous, his eyes filled with murderous intent and heavy ridicule as he looked at Jialouluo, "It’s rare for Your Majesty to still remember Lin’er, my poor child... What use is your fake sympathy now? When you broke our legs, dug out our Crystal Cores, and threw us into the Hero Cave, did you ever think of us?"
"I, Sivall, who was born a noble, accompanied you for decades, yet you were merciless to the past! Lin’er and I were thrown into that filthy place, subjected to inhumane abuse!"
Sivall’s voice carried a blood-stained sorrow, "Lin’er couldn’t hold on, he died there... He died so miserably, without even a person to collect his body."
Jialouluo’s throat felt a slight sting. Despite having hundreds of children, each one was her own flesh and blood, how could she have no feelings? Jia Lin was once favored by her, and when he was deposed and exiled to such a place, how could she not feel heartache?
But when mistakes are made, punishment must be given.
Even the emperor and commoners face the same justice.
If lenient, would it not encourage other princes to imitate? Allow the world to mock, where would the royal dignity be?
She was a mother and, more importantly, a ruler of the Sea Country, decisions had to be made.
Moreover, Jia Lin dared to be so audacious and disrespectful, it was undoubtedly his father’s incitement behind it all.
The real culprit behind Jia Lin’s tragic death was none other than Sivall’s ambitious intentions!
The pain in Jialouluo’s eyes dissipated instantly, and her aura became even more dangerous as she angrily scolded, "Blame your foolish self for failing to teach your child properly! You and your son met such an end, it serves you right!"
Sivall’s eyes turned icy cold, anger flooding through his tightly clenched fists, then he laughed again, "Your Majesty’s scolding is well received! Fortunately, the heavens had mercy, allowing me to survive."
He spoke arrogantly, "Thanks to the help of a benefactor, not only did I escape from that place, restore my body, but I also reforged my meridians and gained even greater power!"
Before finishing his words, Sivall’s aura surged. He completely ignored Jialouluo’s authority, and in an instant appeared in front of her, clutching her hand tightly, forcing her to touch his half-ghastly, groove-covered, demonic-looking face, "They could have restored this half of my face, but I refused—do you know why I chose to keep it forever?"
He stared intently at the pale, disgusted woman, his voice growing more sinister and terrifying, "I want to forever remember the pain I endured, to never forget everything you did to me! This past year, hatred grew and festered in my heart, transforming into my power of revenge! Today, I can finally return to enact vengeance!"
"Madman! Filthy! Lowly!" Jialouluo was horrified, her scales slightly lifted, she violently shook off his hand and cursed angrily, "A despicable being clawing out from the filthy Hero Cave, who knows how many have toyed with you, don’t touch me!"
Her hate reached its peak, "Not killing you back then was my greatest mistake!"
If not for considering the old affection, she should have killed Sivall long ago!
Seeing the woman remain noble and aloof, indifferent as though no one could capture her interest, nor earn the slightest compassion made his heart ache terribly, when his love for her had once driven him crazy along with countless males of the Sea Country. Now it only seemed blinding and painful!
With a cold laugh, he said, "I’m grateful Your Majesty spared my life out of sentiment, giving me the chance to come back for revenge today!"
"Today is your death day!"
Jialouluo, not wanting to waste more words, immediately launched an attack.
Her immense power summoned towering waves, the entire Imperial Palace trembled, and thousands upon thousands of Ice Arrows formed in the air, piercing straight at him!
However, Sivall merely smiled faintly, standing motionless as the Ice Arrows shattered half an inch before reaching him.
At the same moment, he stirred the raging seawater with a single palm strike, instantly breaking through the Sea Palace’s barrier! Seawater flooded in, and several buildings collapsed vigorously under the violent current.
The clash of two mighty forces created a heaven-shaking commotion.
Although Jialouluo was a Tenth Rank powerhouse, she was stunned to find Sivall’s strength even greater, having previously been an Eighth Rank, now unfathomably powerful, surrounded by bizarre energy which even overwhelmed her. This indicated his strength far surpassed Tenth Rank!
The tumultuous commotion alerted the palace guards and the Sea Clan Imperial Army.
The army quickly assembled, intending to assist the Emperor.
But from the sea emerged multiple unidentified black-clad individuals, possessing extreme prowess, even the Sea Clan Imperial Army was no match for them.
These black-clad individuals joined Sivall in attacking Jialouluo.
Their power transformed into black chains, binding the Emperor’s hands and tail, securing her completely to the ground, immobilizing her.
Jialouluo furiously and indignantly glared at Sivall, "If you have the guts, then kill me!"
Sivall looked down at her proud, exquisite face; though reduced to a captive, she remained so proud and unyielding, making one both love and hate, emotions surging like sea tides.
He could not forget their loving days, her cold-hearted indifference, and the torment he endured. Revenge was imperative!
Sivall leaned down, gripping Jialouluo’s face forcefully, his voice fierce, "Your Majesty, I can’t bear to kill you. I want to torment you, make life worse than death, to let you understand my agony!"
"All the disgrace of the past, I will repay in full!"
"Hereafter, endure confinement within the dungeon, pardon Your Majesty!"
...
On his way back, Jia Lan learned of the palace coup, that the once deposed and exiled Side Consort Sivall had returned with his family rebelling.
The Emperor was imprisoned, many of the Prince and Princess were also trapped deep within the palace, with no clear understanding of the palace’s interior situation.
Sivall’s purpose for returning to revenge was clear, he intended to force the palace to abdicate, crowning himself as the Sea Clan Emperor!
The Sea Country reached a zenith of internal and external troubles, the situation in turmoil, facing the possibility of a regime change. Many ministers and familial forces deployed troops intending to rescue the Emperor, but the palace and its surrounding areas were tightly controlled by Sivall’s forces, accompanied by numerous unidentified powerful black-clad individuals, rendering access to rescue the Emperor impossible.
Under such circumstances, even within the Sea Clan, many began to rebel, escalating the severity.
Jia Lan was furious beyond restraint, attacking the palace immediately, vowing to rescue his mother and siblings.
