Chapter 5073
Forsythe called out in response before asking for a few details and hurrying out of the
palace.
Right after he left, Morticia collapsed onto the ground like a deflated balloon, both from
worry and fatigue.
She had been putting up a front toward Forsythe the entire time. Now that no one else
was around, she could pretend no longer. Despite being a Fiend Empress, she was but a
woman at the end of the day. Maternal instincts were unshakeable, and there was no way
she could calm down with her child in trouble.
'Please don't let anything have happened to you, my child.’ 'Nothing at all, I beg.'
As she sat on the floor, Morticia closed her eyes and began to pray. 4
Forsythe left the palace and began to head toward the stone house.
This was because Morticia had instructed Forsythe to go alone so that news would not go
out.
He had thought it through. He was going to bring Heather to the exchange by himself. As
long as he got the child back, he would not mind if he turned to dust.
Despite once being a good-for-nothing pirate leader, Forsythe was a man of honor. He
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtknew that he would be nowhere without Morticia and was nothing but grateful for that. It
was now time to repay her.
Just then, in one of the rooms in the stone house.
Heather's limbs had been completely chained as she sat in the corner of the room, staring
out into the night sky with a dazed expression.
It had been five days.
She had been seized for five days, in which Heather had had her internal energy blocked
from drinking spiked liquor. Under the imprisonment of the Dragon King Palace, there was
no way for her to escape at all.
Upon being apprehended and brought to the Dragon King Palace, Forsythe had come to
see her once in an attempt to convince her to join the Bloody Fiend race as well as offer
her phenomenal benefits. Yet Heather had turned him down almost immediately.
On top of that, she had also begun to fast herself in an act of rebellion.
This had gone on for two days.
Heather would not even glance at the food the Dragon King Palace brought in, choosing to
stare out of the window instead.
She missed her family; she missed Ambrose.
And yet...
Would she ever get the chance to see these people again, trapped in a place like this?
Just then, Heather yearned for her family as she swayed in semiconsciousness. Fasting for
three days had taken its toll on her.
Creak!
Just as Heather was about to keel over, the door was suddenly pushed open. It was
followed by a figure walking in with an unreadable expression on his face. It was none
other than Forsythe.
"Ambrose..."
Heather had gone slightly delirious then and thought that Ambrose had appeared.
Forsythe did not respond, staring at her coldly.
F*ck, it was all because of this woman that the Empress' child had been taken away.
At the thought, Forsythe wanted nothing more than to kill her. Yet he held back, as the
Empress said this woman needed to be unscathed in order to get the Empress' child back.
Quickly enough, Forsythe readjusted his emotions before turning to
Heather and saying, "You've got quite the temper for someone so young, trying to
threaten us by fasting yourself. Do you think you'll be able to end your own life as you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwish here on Dragon King Island?"
Oh?
Hearing that it was not Ambrose's voice, Heather startled before realizing that the man
standing before her was not Ambrose, and it was Forsythe instead.
She had been hallucinating.
All at once, Heather was embarrassed. Yet she did not let it show, harrumphing and
turning her head to the side.
Quite the temper, indeed.
Heather's temper annoyed Forsythe greatly, but he managed to force out a smile. "I'm
telling you this. I wouldn't give a damn if you were dead or alive on any other occasion-
but I'm guessing you lucked out. Someone's coming to save you."
Someone's coming to save mm?
As the words rang through the air, Heather stopped short. No one knew that she had been
kidnapped and brought here; who would have come for her?
At her response, Forsythe scoffed coldly. "Come with me."
As he spoke, he unlocked her handcuffs and strode out of the room.
What in the world was going on with this man?
Heather frowned to herself, hesitating briefly before she followed him out.
