Cheat Awakening

"Father-in-law really knows how to ruin others' moods. That man can't bear to see anyone happy. I wonder what on earth did you ever see in him that made you marry him..." Myne fumed as he picked up his clothes scattered on the floor.

If not for Faren's special status as Garnet's husband, his wife father and the king, he really wanted to lock him somewhere for a few hours so he wouldn't make more trouble, but sadly, he couldn't do that.

"Don't be sad," Garnet soothed, her smile coaxing. "This is just the beginning of our secret relationship. We have a lifetime ahead of us. Give me some time, and I'll create a special chamber for our lovemaking, a place where no one can intrude, a place that only belongs to both of us. The chance of our secret getting discovered will be practically nonexistent.

Come back to me the day after tomorrow, and nothing will stand in our way." Garnet cupped Myne's cheek and planted a tender kiss on his forehead.

Myne sighed. "Fine, but make sure the bed is sturdy enough," He said with a chuckle. "I won't go easy on you, and it would be awkward if it got broken in the middle of passionate lovemaking." He pulled Garnet into a tight hug, before sealing her lips with his. Though Garnet struggled nervously, fearing Faren's sudden arrival, Myne remained oblivious.

He didn't release her until the sound of the door opening pierced the silence.

"See you later, my dear mother-in-law," Myne winked playfully at Garnet while slapping her butt tightly before opening a portal behind himself and jumping into it.

The portal shimmered shut just as Faren entered the room. He found Garnet standing dazedly beside the bed while staring at the wall, clad in an extremely seductive nightgown.

The sight would have flustered most men and they never would hesitate to directly jump on her without wasting a single second, but alas, Faren, who had just had a heart-to-heart in-depth conversation with his personal maid in his study, was in no mood to do anything to Garnet at this moment.

He just frowned a bit, thinking that Garnet might have again been trying to seduce him, before walking toward her. Discover hidden content at empire

"What's going on here? Why are you wearing these kinds of clothing in broad daylight?"

Garnet, jolted out of her happy reverie by Faren's question, and her face instantly turned ugly. Ignoring his inquiry, she simply turned and stared at him in silence. An awkward silence stretched between husband and wife.

Finally, Garnet glanced down at herself; she was still wearing the nightgown, with her giant breasts hanging outside thanks to Myne's naughty hands, her wet panties dripping love juices on the ground.

After which she looked at Faren, who showed no reaction to seeing her in such an erotic condition at all and his face remained cold and indifferent – as if she weren't his wife but a mere palace maid. Even his little brother showed no reaction as if she didn't exist at all, and she also smelled faint womanly perfume from him.

Seeing this much, If Garnet still couldn't understand where Faren had been busy before coming here, then she might have just wasted her entire life. The realization fueled a long-suppressed anger within her, and she could no longer hold back the torrent of emotions threatening to burst forth.

Garnet's long, night-black hair floated in the air, unruffled by any wind. Her eyes glowed with an intense blue energy. Before Faren's horrified gaze, she raised her hand, and Faren, as if grabbed by a giant invisible hand, slowly started floating in front of her. With a slight wave of her hand, a loud bang resonated as Faren slammed hard onto the ground.

This wasn't the end. Garnet had no intention of letting Faren off easily. She understood that after this, their relationship might be nothing more than in name. But now, with someone offering her spiritual support, she didn't care about a man like Faren for whom she had sacrificed so much but didn't give a f*ck about her.

She levitated him again, and before he could manage a word, another bang sent him crashing to the floor with a heavy impact, eliciting a coughing fit that produced a mouthful of blood.

"Garnet..." Faren choked out between coughs.

Bang!

"Listen to..."

Bang!

"Cough! S..."

Bang!

The sounds of a human body repeatedly thudding against the ground echoed outside the King and Queen's chambers. Two of Faren's personal maids, who currently had a special relationship with him and one of Garnet's, along with a few guards, couldn't help but shiver as the loud, agonizing cries and crashes emanated from within.

Although they desperately wanted to enter and assess the situation, to see if there was an enemy inside. However, none of them dared to do so for fear of seeing something they shouldn't and losing their heads for no reason, and they also didn't have the authority to open the door. Helplessly, they exchanged glances.

Finally, Faren's two personal maids, who had long harboured dreams of becoming his concubines after years of secret relations, shared a knowing look and hurried towards Aniue's study.

The remaining guards and maid, of course, couldn't decipher their unspoken thoughts. They resorted to gossip, frantically speculating about what was happening inside. A few minutes later, they heard heavy footsteps approaching rapidly.

Aniue, whose face was a mask of worry and fear, arrived before them. He didn't ask anything; he directly took out a golden key covered with dense, weird symbols. As if conjured by magic, a keyhole materialized on the door and he inserted it into the keyhole. With a click, the lock yielded, but Aniue's attempts to push the door open were met with immovable resistance.

No matter how much he tried, it wouldn't budge.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on here?!" Aniue roared in frustration, exerting all his strength against the door, but It wouldn't budge. Realizing the situation was escalating quickly, he frantically ordered the assembly of the royal knights.

Ten minutes later, more than 50 people, exerting all their strength to the point of damaging their muscle tissues, finally managed to pry open a narrow gap, just large enough for a single person to enter. Ignoring the warnings of the royal knights' leader not to rush inside recklessly, Aniue stormed into the room, only to be met with a deafening boom as the door slammed shut behind him again.

But Aniue clearly didn't have time to care about such a small matter. The state of his parents' bedroom left him utterly stunned, momentarily questioning his own sanity, wondering if he was hallucinating or something. The entire room was in such a bad condition that people would wonder if it was the aftermath of a hurricane.

Furniture, the bed, lamps, picture frames – everything lay shattered into pieces, with bloodstains visible everywhere in the room. His mother, clad in a light blue robe, stood serenely by the window, gazing outside as if nothing had happened.

"Mother? Are you alright?" Aniue, who hadn't seen his father yet and didn't know the real situation, inquired nervously, his gaze yet to find his father. He cautiously approached Garnet.

"Oh, Aniue," Garnet replied with a gentle smile, as though nothing untoward had occurred, "You're here. Perfect timing, I was just about to call for you." She reached out and stroked his head.

"Mother? Where is Father? Wasn't he with you? And what happened here? Did someone attack you?" Aniue, already having a very bad feeling seeing Garnet's unnatural smile, asked nervously, gulping down saliva. He gulped nervously.

If not for his responsibility as the eldest son in the family, he'd have fled the scene immediately, he really didn't want to be here at this moment.

"Oh, about that, nobody attacked here. Your father and I simply had a disagreement on a certain matter, which has now been… resolved. As for your father, he's currently resting. You can check on him if you wish. He's over there," Garnet said, still with a gentle smile, seemingly harmless to animals and humans, as she pointed at the broken bed.

Despite wanting to refuse with a shake of his head, Aniue, ever the dutiful son, couldn't abandon his father. He nodded and approached the bed. The luxurious king-size bed, once the most expensive and comfortable in the entire kingdom, was now a mangled wreck. The wooden frame was broken, the sheets lay discarded, and the mattress sagged in the middle.

As Aniue drew closer, he finally saw his poor father bathed in his own blood, with hundreds of small to big wounds on his body, lying on the broken mattress like a dead dog, breathing weakly.

If not for the fact that he saw Faren's chest rising and falling, for a second, he even thought he had become fatherless, which he never wanted to see, at least now he is not ready to accept such a huge change in his life.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
