Chapter 746: Hit!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Princess Daisy tightly clenched her teeth.
As a member of the royal family, she had carried her pride since birth.
There was no way she would kneel before Karl!
But Karl looked at her with a cruel expression.
This princess had been disobedient recently. It seemed that she had been given too much respect, causing her to forget who was in control!
In his eyes, the royal family was nothing more than a tool.
How dare she put on airs in front of him? She didn’t even know who she was or the current decline of the royal family!
Karl sneered and gave a signal to the nanny once again.
The nanny continued to lash out harshly, whipping her leg!
Princess Daisy’s face turned pale from the pain. Cold sweat formed on her forehead. Her leg was in excruciating pain and she could barely stand. However, the nanny, following Karl’s instructions, continued to lash out at her.
One lash…
Another lash…
Daisy’s leg was covered in blood. She was on the verge of collapsing.
It wasn’t her pride that she couldn’t hold on to anymore, but her leg was in unbearable pain, making it difficult for her to maintain her balance.
Daisy clenched her fist. At that moment, she suddenly remembered what Shen Ruojing had said, not to entrust her fate to others. From today on, she wanted to try controlling her own destiny!
Princess Daisy’s expression became more determined.
She looked at Karl, at everyone in front of her, and tears began to well up in her eyes!
She didn’t want to be a puppet. She wanted to be the master of her own fate!!
With this thought in mind, Princess Daisy’s leg finally lost sensation. She forcefully knelt down on the floor with a loud thud.
But she stubbornly supported herself with her other leg. She didn’t want to kneel down on both knees in such a miserable state!
However, the nanny had succeeded halfway. Naturally, she wouldn’t show mercy and lash out at her other leg again!
The nearby maid couldn’t bear to watch any longer and rushed forward, pushing the nanny away and protecting Daisy. She asked, “Princess, are you alright?”
Princess Daisy clenched her teeth tightly and forced a smile, “I’m fine, please step aside.”
She didn’t want to burden the maid.
But the maid refused to step aside. Her eyes were red as if she had made a firm decision. She turned and looked at Karl, “How can you treat the princess like this? It’s simply too much!”
Karl sneered at her and said, “We are doing all this for the good of Her Highness. What are you? How dare you lecture me here?”
After saying that, Karl looked at Daisy again and sneered, “Princess Daisy, your maid is not very obedient. It seems like 1 need to teach her a lesson on your behalf so as to ensure the slave won’t bully the master!”
After finishing his words, Karl looked at the people beside him, “Take her away and give her twenty lashes!”
“Yes!”
Twenty lashes could very well cost the maid half her life!
Princess Daisy couldn’t bear it any longer. She shouted, “No!”
Karl looked at Daisy and sneered, “Princess, if you want to save this maid, all you have to do is issue that statement.”
Daisy was stunned. She understood that Karl was using the maid to threaten her!
She stared angrily at Karl and shouted desperately, “Karl, you’ve gone too far!
She is a citizen of Country Y and has the right to personal freedom!”
Karl laughed, “Do you really think she has freedom in this palace? Princess, are you too naive? Countless people die in this palace every year. Does everyone have personal freedom here?”
After finishing his words, he waved his hand, “Since the princess is unwilling, I’ll take care of this maid for you!”
The security guards behind him immediately stepped forward and directly restrained the maid.
Princess Daisy rushed forward but was pulled back by the maids.
The maid looked at Princess Daisy and shouted, “Princess, don’t be afraid, you don’t have to compromise for me! As long as they stop beating you, it’s fine.”
These words made Princess Daisy’s eyes turn red. The maid’s impulsive actions were actually just to redirect Karl’s anger toward herself and protect Daisy’s dignity!
However, what does dignity matter in the face of life?!
Princess Daisy couldn’t bear it anymore. With a bang, she knelt down in front of Karl and pleaded, “Please, spare her!”
Karl stared at Daisy and said, “Then issue a statement.”
Daisy shook her head and cried.
Dignity can be sacrificed, but one’s moral bottom line cannot!
Seeing her stubbornness, Karl shouted, “Go! Bring the wooden board directly to the room and beat her fiercely in front of the princess!”
Immediately, someone rushed out, and in no time, they came back with a wooden board.
The board looked extremely heavy. How could their bodies bear the impact of a strike?!
Daisy’s heart turned cold.
The maid finally became frightened. Her body trembled as she was held down and unable to move, but even so, she didn’t say a word.
“Hit!”
With Karl’s command, the board was raised high and then struck down mercilessly.
“No!”
Daisy exclaimed, broke free from the maids’ grasp, and rushed over, directly embracing the maid!
The security guard’s board stopped in mid-air, hesitatingly looking at Karl.
Karl frowned and said, “Hit!”
The board was raised again.
The maid said, “Princess, move away!”
“No! If they want to beat you to death, they’ll have to beat me to death first!”
