Chapter 802 Deserve Death + Pearts

The nobles, all from the third generation of their families, sat frozen, the weight of Karen and Matilda's confessions hanging heavy in the room.

Rhea, an insignificant figure with no resources or survival skills to speak of, had dared to set her sights on Robin-a man infamous for his ruthlessness andnoveldrama

What kind of sheer ignorance did it take to imagine such a dangerous and foolhardy plan?

Robin's influence, even in the open, was untouchable. Yet Rhea had dared to plot against him, to harm his family and challenge someone feared for the destruction he left in his wake. It wasn't just reckless. It was self-destructive.

The lords exchanged glances, shaking their heads, as if silently asking each other the same question: How could anyone be so foolish?

It was plain to them that these girls lacked any understanding of respect-or fear.

Without that, it was no wonder they'd ventured into something so vile and senseless.

Mr. Josington stepped forward, his hand gripping Rhea's hair. He forced her head up, making her meet his eyes before turning her gaze toward Karen and Matilda.

"Is their story true?" he demanded.

Rhea's face was streaked with tears, her voice shaking as she confessed. "Yes, it's true. But Len, Kieran, and Karina told me it would be fine. They said Kieran had the support of a lord-" "Enough!" Lord Southmere's voice cut through the air, his command absolute.

"Execute Karen and Matilda first," he ordered, his tone leaving no room for debate.

Karen and Matilda's faces went pale, their bodies stiff with shock.

They hadn't thought that a few careless actions, done in the service of Rhea, would lead to this.

Before they could utter a word of protest, two of Southmere's guards stepped forward, their pistols drawn.

The shots echoed sharply, and with that, Karen and Matilda collapsed, lifeless.

They had no time to grasp the lesson that their deaths delivered-a stark truth that accomplices, even more than the schemers themselves, bear the weight of guilt.

Both had known Rhea's plans were twisted, yet they had chosen to assist her, feeding her malice.

In the end, who else but them deserved to pay the price?

Rhea froze, her wide eyes fixed on the lifeless forms of Karen and Matilda. The scene before her was a nightmare brought to life, and her body betrayed her completely. 19. Mon, Dec 30

Lord Southmere stood nearby, his presence overpowering. Though his age showed in his lined face, he was no less terrifying-like a predator ready to pounce

His cold gaze secuned to strip away any pretense of courage she might have had.

Collapsing to her knees, Rhea cried out, her voice breaking. "Please, my lord! Have mercy! I'll do anything!"

But Rhett remained impassive, his face unreadable, his eyes fixed on a distant point in the room. He neither acknowledged her words nor showed any sign of forgiveness.

Skylar, standing silently at the edge of the scene, shifted uneasily. A shadow of concern passed over his face, though he quickly masked it. After a brief hesitation, he signaled to one of the Fioris guards.

The guard, as if anticipating this, slipped out of the room without making a sound.

In her desperation, Rhea scrambled to speak, her words tumbling out in a frantic rush. It wasn't my idea! Len and Kieran-they forced me into it! They wanted Brenda and Joanna! I only helped a little, I swear! I didn't do anything else!" Rhett finally stirred, raising one hand in a sharp motion. "Show her," he commanded, his tone cold and final.

At once, Mr. Josington moved to a nearby console. The screen on the wall came to life, playing a series of recordings.

The room watched in silence as the footage displayed Rhea's actions.

Every scene exposed her inescapable guilt-her goading of Kieran and Len, her meticulous involvement in their sinister plans, and her callous exploitation of Brenda for humiliating photographs.

The tension in the room grew palpable. Each face reflected anger and disgust as the evidence stacked up A few clenched their fists, their restraint visibly thinning.

When the screen went dark, Rhett's voice broke the heavy silence. "You came from nothing, didn't you?"

Rhea blinked, startled by the sudden question.

"You were fortunate, Rhett continued, his tone sharp. "Someone gave you a chance. They saw promise in

and helped you rise above your circumstances."

He stepped closer, his gaze piercing. "You should have seized that opportunity. You should have worked hard, studied, and shown gratitude for the kindness you were given.

"But instead," his voice darkened, "you spat on their generosity. You became something vile a parasite, feeding on others and showing nothing in return."

Rhett's voice grew colder with each word. "Even that could have been overlooked. But you chose to harm. You preyed on others, and for what? Your heart is as black as coal." He straightened, his presence looming over the room.

I've never believed that someone so twisted can change. People like you-people who repay kindness with betrayal-don't deserve a place in this world."

The room held its breath as he gave his final decree.

"Killing you with a gun would be too kind." He turned to Josington. "Bring me my sword. I'll take care of this fills myself.

Rhea froze in place, paralyzed by fear, She knew pleading with Lord Southmere was a wasted effort.

She crawled toward Robin, her voice desperate and shaking.

Robin, please, we were classmates. Don't do this. I swear I'll never make the same mistake again!"

Tears streamed down her face as she continued, her voice barely a whisper. "You've seen what they did to me. Surely, your anger has faded. Please, let me go.

Robin gestured to Joanna's lifeless body. "If you can bring her back to life, I'll consider sparing you. Can you do that?"

Rhea's eyes widened, disbelief flooding her face. "She's dead! How am I supposed to bring her back?!"

"Then there's nothing left to talk about, Robin said coldly. With one swift motion, he kicked Rhea aside. "You've earned your fate, you vile woman.

Mr. Josington stepped forward, drawing Lord Southmere's battle sword and holding it out in front of him.

Without a second thought, Rhett took the sword and swung it, cutting through Rhea's body with one clean strike.

The room fell into a chilling silence. The only sound was the drip of blood hitting the floor.

Burt, Kieran, and Len were frozen, trembling, unable to look away.

Skylar stood still, his mind racing. He had followed Lord Southmere for years, and in all that time, he had never seen him waver. Rhett had promised to repay a debt, but something about this felt wrong. After the deed was done, Rhett walked slowly back to his seat, the bloodied sword still in his hand.

As he passed Skylar, he glanced at him and casually asked, "Skylar, how does my strike compare to the one I made years ago?"

Skylar hesitated, his words caught in his throat. "My lord. I..."

Before he could finish, Rhett gave a bitter smile. "I'm getting old."

But his face soon darkened, and his voice turned cold. I've never forgotten the purpose of this sword. It's meant for those who are wicked, those who are heartless, those who forget where they came from." He tossed the sword back to Mr. Josington.

Rhett then turned his attention to Kieran, still lying motionless on the floor. "Kieran, seeing you like this breaks my heart."

His eyes softened as he remembered the past. "When you were born, I felt such wonder. Another new life In the family."

His voice hardened with regret. "But now look at you. Your actions have led to this. And your father has a

hand in this, too. I can barely bring myself to call you my grandson."

He moved closer, his gaze uiwavering. "The family owes an answer for what's happened today."

Khen's voice filled with regret. "When I had nothing, when I was starving, Dragon Lord gave me food, gave me a chance, and gave me everything I have now."

He continued, his voice tight with anger. "All my honor all the glory of the Shaw family, everything we have today-it's all thanks to Dragon Lord."

He looked down at Kieran with a hardened expression. And now, because of your actions, Dragon Lord's granddaughter, Renee, is dead. You must pay for that."

His gaze turned even colder. "Your father will be locked away for life."

He shook his head, almost in disbelief. "But even that won't repay Dragon Lord's kindness to the Shaw family

Rhett turned to Mr. Josington. "Give me the gun. I'll handle this myself. I must make amends to Dragon Lord
