บท 444: Admit Mistake

Before the Emperor could pose a question, the fifth princess knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and admitted her wrongdoing, sobbing uncontrollably. "No… Father, I have committed a grave mistake!"

"Sob… I have suffered the consequences too…"

"Sob… Father, I beseech you to decree my execution. Do not tarnish the royal family because of me!"

The Emperor's countenance turned ashen. "Cease your weeping! If you truly desire death, I shall grant it!"

"But before your demise, you must provide a clear account of the entire matter!"

"As a princess, how did you become associated with a courtesan from a brothel?"

He was seething with anger. His most cherished fifth princess had engaged in such disgraceful conduct.

Moreover, it had become public knowledge, a severe blot on the royal family's reputation.
