Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 328

Maurice let out a cold, humorless laugh, his eyes narrowing into dangerous slits.

Caesar stood frozen, not daring to utter a single word. He feared that any sound might draw Maurice's ire and make him the scapegoat for Maurice's growing rage.

If Maurice had never experienced the joy of standing again, perhaps this wouldn't have stung as much. But to taste that fleeting freedom-only to have it ripped away-was cruelty almost worse than death.
