The Villainess Wants a Divorce:Beast Husbands Regret It to Tears-Chapter 165: Seraphina, Don’t Look at Other Males
She turned her head towards Silas Shaw.
"But what about Silas? When we were with the Eagle Clan, I didn’t want it, and he forcibly dragged me into the cave, making me bleed to acknowledge him as my master. I said no, but he threatened to starve me until I complied. Is this supposed to be caring for me? That’s just fake, isn’t it?"
At that time, she was isolated and helpless, imprisoned in that cold cave, surrounded by hostile stares.
"Later, when I found a chance to escape, he sent the Eagle Clan males everywhere to hunt me down. After I left the Elephant Clan’s settlement, he came after me, and he even tried to kill my Beast Husband!"
That night, she hid in an abandoned rock cave, listening to the footsteps outside, knowing she could be captured at any moment.
And her Beast Husbands, only wanting to protect her, were viewed as obstacles to be removed.
"Beast King, judge for yourself. Not only did he forcefully seize a female, but he also wanted to harm my partners. Let’s handle it according to the rules!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
She stood tall, staring straight at the Beast King.
In this wasteland where strength is revered, all a weak female like her could do was tear the mask off falsehood with truth.
Silas Shaw’s face turned deathly pale.
He knew the Crystal Stone’s determinations never lied, and once it emitted light, it meant his lies were fully exposed.
And now, that light was slowly rising from the stone.
He wanted to withdraw his hand, but the guard beside him held him firmly.
"I didn’t..."
"The Crystal Stone speaks." Ian Brighton coldly interrupted him.
"According to tribal law, those who seize females should lose thirty percent of their Beast Power. Those who intentionally harm a female partner should be imprisoned for six months for reflection. Silas Shaw, do you submit?"
Looking at the increasingly dazzling light from the Crystal Stone, Silas Shaw knew it was useless to argue, so he remained silent.
But he still gave Seraphina Caldwell a vicious glare.
He never thought he would be defeated by a young female.
He also never expected her to dare to stand up and shatter his carefully woven lies.
He once thought she would be afraid, would shrink back, would bow her head under pressure.
But instead of retreating, she pressed forward step by step, using facts to nail him to the pillar of shame.
Seraphina met his gaze unwaveringly, not taking a step back.
Everything she did was to survive, to protect those she cared about.
She remembered clearly, if it weren’t for Isaac Vaughn activating the Teleportation Array desperately, she would have already been captured.
Since crossing over, she had been living cautiously.
To survive, to find her father, she couldn’t afford to be soft-hearted.
Suddenly, the Crystal Stone’s light burst forth violently.
The people around stepped back in unison.
Silas Shaw screamed in pain, looking at his arm.
On his right arm, a pitch-black brand rapidly appeared.
It was the Crystal Stone’s punitive mark, signifying the loss of thirty percent of his Beast Power.
His Beast Soul violently surged, the once surging power within him ebbed away.
The Green Rank Beast Ring that had been glowing blue was losing its color bit by bit.
He suddenly raised his head, roaring in anger at the sky.
"My strength! My Beast Power is gone!"
The guards did not hesitate, stepping forward immediately to pin him down.
The man struggled, but was directly forced to his knees by a powerful force.
Ian Brighton stood at the front of the crowd, glancing over the dozen or so Eagle Clan men behind him.
"One by one, proceed according to the rules. In front of the Crystal Stone, no one is exempt."
The Eagle Clan men exchanged nervous glances.
They silently stepped forward one by one, pressing their palms against the Crystal Stone.
In an instant, a series of horrific screams erupted in succession.
When the last Eagle Clan man was dragged into the dark stone cell by two guards, the heavy iron door slammed shut.
Only then did Ian Brighton slowly turn around to face Seraphina Caldwell.
"It’s all sorted out. You should go back and have a good rest."
"Don’t resist your mating season, complete the Bonding with your partner soon. It’s good for your body."
He paused, glancing at the males around her.
"If... you’re not happy with your current males, I can help you find a match. There are several males in the Beast Realm without a Female Master, and they’re quite eligible."
As soon as he said that, Wyatt Yardley’s body stiffened.
He took an almost imperceptible step closer to Seraphina Caldwell.
Isaac Vaughn’s arm around Seraphina also subtly tightened.
Even the usually silent Kaelan Hawthorne lifted his head at this moment.
But Seraphina just shook her head.
"Thank you for your kindness, Beast King, but it’s not necessary."
She paused slightly, then slowly turned her head, her gaze sweeping over her Beast Husbands.
"When I’m truly ready, I’ll naturally bond with them."
She had no intention of forming any Bonding now.
Silas Shaw’s issue was already behind her.
Next, she had to calm her mind, focus entirely on finding her father’s whereabouts.
Amidst her swirling thoughts, her gaze unintentionally fell on Ian Brighton’s chest.
There, tucked close to the open collar of his shirt, was a palm-sized Beast Seal.
The seal was predominantly silver-white, with delicate and smooth lines, lifelike in detail.
Seraphina’s heart skipped a beat, leaving her stunned in place.
This pattern...
Was astonishingly similar to the fox Beast Seal on her father’s chest!
She remembered clearly, her father also had a similar fox-shaped seal on his chest, with the same silver-white base color.
Yet, upon further thought, there seemed to be subtle differences between the two.
Was it the direction of the lines?
Or the curl of the tail?
At the moment, she couldn’t pinpoint it.
She was frozen, staring intently at that seal.
She hadn’t even noticed when Ian Brighton had already withdrawn his gaze, turned, and was about to leave.
"The wind’s strong, don’t catch a cold."
It was Isaac Vaughn’s voice.
He had long noticed Seraphina was lost in thought.
Following her gaze, he saw the Beast Seal on Ian Brighton’s chest.
Only then did Seraphina come back to her senses, feeling her face heat up.
She had been staring at the Beast King’s Beast Seal for so long.
That Beast Seal had a faint dark gold pattern, faintly visible at Ian Brighton’s neck.
Realizing her faux pas now, her cheeks turned scorching hot.
Ian Brighton, seeing she had come to her senses, didn’t ask much but waved his hand, saying.
"Go back and rest well. You can come to me anytime you need."
With that, he turned and walked towards the depths of the stone house.
Isaac Vaughn nodded at Seraphina, turning towards the stone house.
The light rain continued to fall, yet was thoroughly shielded by a thick cloak.
Seraphina leaned against his embrace.
After walking for a while, Isaac Vaughn suddenly lowered his head.
"Seraphina, don’t look at other males, even if the other person is the Beast King. It makes me uncomfortable."
Seraphina was taken aback by his words, quickly explaining.
"Isn’t the Beast King already partnered? I was just curious about his Beast Seal. Besides, he’s about my father’s age, and I’m not short of elder care."
The beast seal was indeed peculiar, with its edges tinged with a strange dark red.
But she now had no mind to think about it, only focusing on reassuring Isaac Vaughn.
Even though there was no need to explain, realizing Isaac Vaughn was jealous made her want to say more.
It turned out he did care, he did feel uneasy.
This realization warmed her heart, also leaving her somewhat guilty.
She had been hesitating recently whether to dissolve the contract, never truly considering his feelings from his perspective.
After all, he had always been gentle and kind to her.
But what about her?
She had been weighing the pros and cons in her heart.
Hearing her explanation, Isaac Vaughn’s eyes immediately brightened.
He looked at her, an unconscious smile lifting at the corners of his lips.
Her willingness to sincerely respond to him...
Did it mean she cared about his feelings too?
