His Love Is Untamed
Chapter 3
I dare not say a word against Freya. He threw me heavily to the ground and left the Buddha hall without looking back.
My personal maid Iris ran over, her face full of concern, helping me up and leading me to the front hall to receive the imperial decree.
Just like in the previous life, when I heard that the emperor was going to appoint me as the County Princess, Freya cried and said that she also wanted to be the County Princess. Matthew then went to the palace with the eunuch to deliver the imperial decree.
And I hastily wrote a letter, took out a token, and asked Iris to deliver it up the mountain.
As soon as Iris left, I was escorted by a group of imperial guards and taken to the imperial study.
I am seriously physically weak, and my feet feel light with every step I take.
The infection in the knee was also very painful. The emperor looked at my struggling appearance and frowned slightly, saying, "Do you feel unwell? Do you need a doctor?"
Matthew sneered, "Your Majesty, don't be fooled by my sister. She has always been like this since childhood. Whenever she does something wrong, she starts to act pitifully and seek sympathy. In fact, when we are at home, she is always bullying our other sister, making her life miserable."
"Is this true?" The Emperor's face immediately showed displeasure. "Gloria, I ask you, your brother said that you used an ancient medical book to save people, but it was actually a prescription given by your step-sister. You took it and claimed the credit. Is this true?"
"I have never done such a thing, and I will never admit it!"
I knelt on the ground, weakly defending myself.
Seeing that I dared to defend myself, Matthew became even more angry. "Gloria, if you want to die, you can suicide. But don't commit the crime of deceiving the Emperor and bring trouble to our family. Please!"
I said in grief and anger, "I obtained that ancient prescription by studying day and night... Ah!"
Before I could finish my words, my mother struck my already bruised back with her cane, causing me to cry out in pain.
I fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
I could only hear my mother, who held a first-class imperial decree, saying, "My daughter has been too spoiled and has committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor. I beg Your Majesty to spare her life!"
Although it seemed like my mother was pleading for me, every word she said emphasized my guilt of deceiving the Emperor.
Hastily and anxiously, Matthew followed and said, "You should quickly beg His Majesty for mercy!"
He stood in front of me just like before, not giving me the slightest chance to defend myself.
And in my next life, I would never let them manipulate me.
"Your Majesty, I have a way to prove my innocence. Please allow me to bring my sister into the palace!"
I tried my best to shout as loud as possible, trying to make my voice louder.
"How could waste his energy on such trivial matters!"
My mother kicked me again while speaking.
"Mrs. Welch, you have treated Miss Welch too tough. If Miss Welch can find a way to prove her innocence, I would be delighted to see it and there would be no need to spend any effort investigating this matter!"
The emperor immediately summoned Freya into the palace.
"If you say that the medical book was obtained by you, then you know what is recorded in the medical book."
Freya couldn't remember a single word, and she was so upset that tears streamed down her face. Meanwhile, I recited the contents of the medical book word for word.
Seeing this, the mother said, "Ever since Freya was violated by a bad person, she has been having nightmares every night and can't eat or sleep. These ancient medical books are so complicated that she can't remember them. I hope Your Majesty can understand the situation!"
Freya saw the situation and quickly held her chest, pitifully saying, "Mom, my chest hurts so much, I'm afraid I can't hold on."
Matthew's heavy heart ached, "Freya, please bear with it for a little while."
He turned around and scolded me, saying, "You should confess quickly. Your sister can't bear on any longer. Admit your guilt and let your sister return home for treatment as soon as possible!"
Even the Ethan King who had always loved me, frowned at this moment and said, "Life is important. You should quickly confess your guilt and Freya could return to the mansion. Otherwise, I will cancel our engagement with you!"
My biological mother, Matthew, my full-blooded brother, and my loving fiancé.
At this moment, everyone was threatening me for Freya.
My heart was full of bitterness turning into indignation, "I am innocent! Why should I confess?"
At this moment, Freya leaned against my mother and said with grievance, "You are the legitimate daughter of the Welch family, with a noble status. When you were young, you caused me to lose my innocence and contract a terrible disease. I have never blamed you for it."
"But you shouldn't have taken the medical book that I searched for with my life. This is the foundation of my position in the Welch family. Sister, are you so heartless that you stole my credit?"
Freya cried and she was the most able to control my family.
"Rebellious girl! You rely on your photographic memory to steal your sister's credit. You will face retribution!"
Just as my mother finished speaking, the Empress Dowager, supported by Iris and others, walked into the hall. "Gloria has been studying medical books day and night at the Church. I saw it. How did this become Freya's credit?"
