Chapter 2303
The power Eden displayed was directly proportional to the anger burning inside him.
Although Eliza was a princess of a country, in essence, she was no different from him. If she died, another person could easily be adopted to take her
place. Therefore, Eden had nothing to fear.
At first, Elisa struggled fiercely, but gradually she began to loosen her grip. Her face turned red, and the veins on her face bulged. However, in the
next moment, she regained her composure.
"Prince Eden, you must release her quickly! If she dies, we won't be able to justify ourselves to Sycairn."
Initially, Eden's subordinate thought that he was simply trying to intimidate Elisa, to make her experience hardship. However, at that moment, Eden
showed no signs of backing down.
Elisa could not die at that moment.
Eden's subordinate was assigned to stay by his side, firstly to protect him and assist him in his affairs, and secondly to remind him not to engage in
"Even if she dies, her death won't be worth lamenting," Eden sneered. Although he was angry, he remained rational. Who would remember her, an
adopted child with no royal blood, even if she were to die?
However, his subordinate had already rushed up to Eden, prying Elisa from his grasp. Fortunately, Elisa was only unconscious from the chokehold,
not truly strangled to death.
Eden's subordinate pursed his lips and reminded him, "Prince Eden, even though she's adopted, she is highly popular among the citizens of Sycairn.
If she dies now, it will undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction over there. It may even be used as a pretext for an attack. I was sent here by Her Majesty,
and I don't want you to make this mistake."
Her Majesty? A cold, stern smile spread across Eden's lips upon hearing that title. Nicely put, he was assigned here to oversee the work, but what's
his actual purpose? He's actually here to monitor me and report everything to Her Majesty. They have long intended to get rid of me. However, since I
still have some usefulness at the moment, they refrain from making a move against me.
"Isn't waging war the right course of action? Since a marriage alliance is not feasible, let's take a forceful approach. When the time comes, we can
directly annex Sycairn. Won't that eliminate all the trouble?"
Eden let out a cold laugh. Despite being battered and bruised, his aura remained undiminished as the corners of his mouth curled into an icy smirk,
not to mention the ruthless ferocity gleaming in his eyes.
"Prince Eden, Her Majesty did not assign you here for this purpose. You have been delaying for such a long time, and I haven't reported this to Her
Majesty. She still believes that you have been diligently carrying out her instructions—"
Bang!
Before he could finish his sentence, Eden had already kicked his subordinate out. At the same time, he shot the latter a menacing glare. "Don't you
know that some people die from talking too much? I don't need you to arrange or explain things for me. If you choose to follow me, then you should
know when to act accordingly. If you don't want to follow me and insist on doing things according to Her Majesty's wishes, ha!"
Eden didn't say anything, but he made a throat-slitting gesture toward his subordinate.
Disobeying him meant death!
His subordinates also noticed the ruthlessness in his eyes, a sight they had witnessed before. The last time, Eden had directly ended a person's life.
Of course, the subordinate didn't want to throw his life away for nothing.
"Prince Eden, I was wrong. Please forgive me—"
"Do you consider yourself worthy of addressing me in my presence?" Before his subordinate could finish speaking, Eden scoffed and interrupted him.
Eden's laugh was cold, and the wicked smirk on his lips became even more apparent.
Without a doubt, despite the fact that this subordinate had chosen Eden, Eden was now consumed by anger. Although the subordinate might manage
to evade death, he would find it difficult to escape punishment.
