505.Chapter 505

Sophie trembled uncontrollably, the sharp sound of slaps echoing in the room as she struck the same side of her face over and over.

She avoided the other side to keep the wounds from reopening, but after several hits, one side of her face was swollen to an alarming degree.

"Stop it, Sophie. Please. Eliza-no, Your Grace. Fine, I'll call you that. Sophie already hit herself-what more do you want?" Matthew pleaded, his voice thick with frustration.

He tried to step forward to intervene, but before he could, Sophie suddenly shouted, "No. Matthew, stay back."

Her head hung low, her voice trembling with fear. "It's my fault. I deserve this. No, I have to punish myself. If it makes Your Grace happy, I'll do whatever you want."

'If that guard tells Eliza about my little tricks and she gets angry, I won't survive the day, she wondered. 'Better to grovel now and keep her happy-at least I'll stay alive. Even if it means living in humiliation, it's still life. As long as I stay alive, there's hope. One day, I'll rise again."

"But Sophie, are you really okay? Let me take your place. I can-" Matthew offered.

"You can't." Sophie finally snapped, her patience worn thin. 'Seriously, couldn't Matthew stop being an idiot and quit messing things up?' she wondered.

"I told you to stay back. I know what I'm doing, no matter what." Sophie snapped, her anger barely contained. Matthew hesitated but eventually closed his mouth, silenced by her outburst.

Gabriel, who had been quietly observing from the side, frowned slightly at Sophie's strange behavior.

Behind him, Benedict remained motionless, his eyes closed as if the chaos around him was of no concern.

Yet, whenever Eliza spoke, Benedict would crack his eyes open, sneaking glances toward Eliza.
