The Greatest Man Alive By Maveric Bowman

"Well, well, well…" Rui smirked. "What do we have here?"

His very voice seemed to trigger deep trauma in each of them.

Prince Randal's breathing grew heavy as his expression crumpled, gritting his teeth. It was as though he needed to exert himself just to maintain his composure before Rui. Princess Ranea stared at him with unadulterated fear while Raemina's demeanor grew psychotically hateful.

Princess Rafia started shivering uncontrollably.

"Tsk tsk," Rui tutted lightly at her. "How brittle. The mere failure of the assassination attempt and the revelation of our blood relationship were enough to break you mentally? What a joke. None of you would last a day as a Martial Artist."

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Princess Raemina screeched.

"Ah, the psycho has snapped," Rui heaved a sigh. "Behave unless you want to be stripped and thrown into a cage like an animal. I can arrange for that if you want."

His words shut her up on the spot. She certainly despised him from the depths of her heart, but what he had described was soul-excruciating to even fathom, let alone actually experience.

"…Soft," Rui huffed, shaking his head. "So addicted to your luxury that even a commoner's life must be gut-wrenching to you."

"…What do you want?" Prince Randal managed to squeeze out.

Rui turned to him. "I have an offer. If you refuse, I will ensure that you will live like animals for the rest of your life. If you accept, I can arrange for more amenable circumstances. If you do really well, I might be willing to have the Martial Union reduce your sentence to house arrest."
