In the Midst of Revenge on Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 96

The First Prince’s relentless nature was already well known from numerous wars, and it was the general consensus that if the Crown Princess were still alive, she would surely be captured.

Opinions diverged only on how the First Prince would punish his wife afterward.

Some, citing his cruelty, predicted she would face an extreme penalty, while others guessed she would be imprisoned for life in the royal dungeon. Either way, everyone agreed the Crown Princess would not escape unscathed.

Thus, when news spread that the First Prince had returned with his wife, nobles and commoners alike waited with bated breath.

They were curious what punishment the rumored Crown Princess would receive. But those who actually saw them were left utterly speechless—their expectations had been completely overturned.

The royal couple rode side by side in a carriage crossing the central avenue of Lehoz, appearing as peaceful as if they had merely returned from a leisurely journey.

Even more astonishing, the First Prince wore a gentle smile as he gazed at his wife, his arm wrapped protectively around her waist. Moreover, Count Linton, who followed in the procession behind the carriage, appeared perfectly unharmed, leaving everyone utterly bewildered.

People began whispering that perhaps the First Prince had fallen so deeply for his wife that he’d lost his usual shrewdness.

After all, it was unthinkable that *that* Kahilrn de Hillik would not only spare someone who betrayed him but treat her as precious instead.

Some even murmured that if he truly lacked such discernment, he might be unfit to rule as king.

But Kahilrn silenced everyone that very day of his return by ruthlessly punishing the nobles who had committed treason.

Conversely, the scandal surrounding the Crown Princess gradually became accepted as fact.
