Busodi returned home filled with rage, having not eaten, and then having been played by Samiyi. How could he not be angry?
âHis Royal Highness, youâre back!â the manorâs butler greeted Busodi with a smile.
But Busodi, now unable to look at anyone favorably, heard the butler greet him and subconsciously yelled, âWhere else would I go if not here?â
The butler didnât know what he had done to offend Prince Busodi, but facing the princeâs scolding, all he could do was silently bear it, âYes, yes, this is your home, you should come here.â
âHmph, do you still remember this is my home?â Busodi asked, âThen why, when I come back, are you the only one to greet me?â
The butler was sweating coldly, âIt is rest time now; the Princess and the two young princes have already gone to restâ¦â
Busodi didnât let the butler finish, he angrily shouted, âIâm out there working myself to death and no one bothers to ask, they donât have to do anything, they donât even come to greet me when I return. Are they the masters of this house, then?â
The butler felt that Prince Busodi must have been provoked again at the palace. Whenever he was provoked and came back from the palace, he would explode in anger. However, he had never lashed out at the Princess and the young princes before. This time must have been a major provocation, as he even scolded the Princess and the young princes.
Facing Busodiâs questioning, all the butler needed to do was to maintain his silence, since the prince would calm down after venting his anger.@@novelbin@@
Yet this time, the butler was wrong; after scolding them, Busodi went to the bedroom of the Princess and the young princes.
Monica was taking a nap and was dreaming sweetly when suddenly she felt a pain in her arm, followed by her falling to the floor.
âWas there an earthquake?â Monica suddenly woke up, clutching her painful arm and screaming, âHelp, thereâs an earthquake!â
Busodi, for the first time, found Monicaâs voice so annoying, he slapped her across the face, âShut up!â
Monica was terrified, she covered her face, and shockingly asked, âYour Highness, why did you hit me?â After speaking, she burst into tears.
Busodi couldnât stand to see a woman cry, seeing Monica cry so sadly made him feel somewhat distressed, so he reached out and pulled Monica up, âSorry, I was a bit emotional just now.â
Monica felt wronged. She had been played by Samiyi and others at the palace in the morning, and then unexplainedly got slapped in the afternoon. Why was she so pitiful?
âYour Highness, why did you hit me?â Monica cried, âThis morning I was played by Samiyi, and in the afternoon, while I was sleeping, you slapped me. What did I do wrong?â
Busodi also felt that his behavior was wrong, and he comforted Monica in a gentle tone, âItâs my fault; I havenât had lunch yet, and when I saw you had already eaten and were lying down, I felt somewhat annoyed, so I hit you.â
Even though Busodi offered an explanation, Monica didnât want to listen; she shook off Busodiâs hand and then sat on the ground and started to tantrum, âI know, people in the palace look down on me, they say my education is too low, they say my background is too humble, thinking Iâm not a match for the prince. I never took their words seriously because I know His Royal Highness loves me, as long as His Royal Highness loves me, I wonât be afraid of other peopleâs mockery! But sob sob sobâ¦â
Monica covered her face and wept bitterly, âSince His Royal Highness despises me, then I might as well die!â
After saying that, she ran towards the window.
The nearby maids saw this and immediately rushed over to stop Monica, shouting, âYour Highness, please donât do anything foolish!â
Originally, Busodi felt a bit guilty toward Monica, but seeing her seeking death again, he just felt irritated.
âAgain with this act, huh?â Busodi angrily said, âIf you want to die that badly, then just jump!â
Monica was stunned, then she cried even louder, âI donât want to live, I donât want to live.â
Her maids held her tightly, knowing that Monica wasnât really seeking death, so they had to play along with Monicaâs act.
Their arguing woke up the two young princes in the next room. Crying, they wanted to find their mother. As they passed by Busodi, they didnât even stop to glance at him.
