Bab 320: An Easy Life

Damien had subtly gestured to the Crimson Corps soldiers to cut off their ears as well, and thus it came as a shock to the Marlowe Brothers.

The Marlowe Brothers looked at Tristen with reddened eyes, feeling extremely humiliated and angry. But despite the pain they were in, they quickly hid it lest they wanted to undergo more punishment from him.

Damien spoke in a serious tone, "I cut your tongue as punishment for defaming my Will Protector and me. As for your ears, I decided to cut it since you let the words of my Will Protector fall on deaf ears. What's the use for ears if you don't use them? Do you two feel angry at me?"

The Marlowe Brother's eyes widened at his explanation, feeling that the prince was too cruel. However, hearing his question, they frantically shook their heads. They didn't dare to imagine what offense Tristen would pin on them if they directed any anger towards him.
