Bab 379: Retribution As Deserved

As much as Xing felt bad for suddenly dumping everything about his beloved wife to her brother, she knew it is necessary.

"Forgive you? For what?", Xing turned at Takano. Takanashi still wasn't out of her hold and was still hanging with his feet dangling.

"Everything! I'm sorry...", Takano tried to change her kneeling position but she couldn't as her entire body felt pain.

"I'm sorry I wanted to be the Empress... I wanted to make my husband Emperor. So I used Weiye to start the war against Sky Kingdom. I'm sorry...", she sobbed as she could not bear the pain.

Rijun who was hearing everything from the outside clenched his fists wrinkling the robes his father gifted him for no reason the day before.

Takano did that...? She started the unnecessary war that almost depleted our treasury?

"And...?", Xing probed more sensing her being truthful. A little pain had made her obedient.

"I... I...", Takano went all limp and she looked like she was about to faint.
