章節 347: Even if I don't treat you right, you are mine.

"This… is the emperor?"

Aries's mind went blank, and she barely blinked while staring at the animal inside the cage. No, it wasn't a wild animal. There was blood all over him, dried blood around his mouth and on his entire body, smudging the floor. Intimidating grunts would caress her ears from time to time, reaching his dirty hand towards them. 

'What is this…?' she wondered while all the muscles in her body stiffened as a knot in her stomach tightened. 

This was something that never crossed her. Even in her wildest imagination would she ever consider the emperor falling to this state? Had he lost his mind? Aries could only twist this revelation to make more sense to her since there was no way the emperor would become a monster. 

She flinched slightly when the man within the cage raised his eyes to her. His eyes were bloodshot and the veins in his sclera were protruding as if they would explode anytime soon.
