The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 250

Abelus was stunned.

No one had ever called him stupid—not even Kaymil, his sister, who had crushed him nonverbally thousands, tens of thousands of times since birth.

So for a moment, he didn’t even know how to react. Megara let out a light, airy laugh, her eyes still unfocused.

“Cunning, me? I was only trying to survive. What else could I do? All I had left was my wits. Some people—like Your Highness—get everything merely for being born as the child of His and Her Imperial Majesties, even if they’re as stupid as you. Can’t I at least use my brain?”

“This is…!”

Abelus was taken aback by her sharp words—and simultaneously furious.

Megara was right. When Count Islani and his daughter first revealed that Princess Kaymil had been framed by Megara and imprisoned, and presented Megara’s letter as proof that she’d made Nelusion her accomplice, Abelus had been enraged.

After all, as Crown Prince, he could never tolerate any insult to the Imperial Family. But soon, he’d even convinced himself it was fine.

After all, Kaymil had been imprisoned for attempting regicide, and it was Megara who’d pushed her to raise her hand even against their father. Thanks to that, Abelus had felt truly free of his sister for the first time in his life.

He’d planned to interrogate her discreetly in a private room, lock her away, and then quietly send her far off without the nobles noticing. He could even use young Marquis Rikeandros as an excuse for that.

After all, the Crown Prince had been toyed with by a lowly mistress, causing another imperial family member to fall—and even dragging a duke into it.

If this scandal ever leaked out, it would be a disgrace. That was why he’d come alone to apprehend Megara. Outside, several imperial knights were already waiting to take her away.

Yet who could have guessed that instead of groveling the moment she realized she’d been caught, Megara would brazenly pour out accusations like this?

“You always struck me as ridiculous. How can someone so naïvely believe the world revolves around them? How can someone be so utterly convinced their own thoughts could never be wrong? Do you really think the nobles admire Your Highness’s dignity? They don’t. Do you know why?”
