Chapter 210

The cold voice, like icy ice, swept over Maureen.

"When you said you wanted to get rid of me, you didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt, did you?"

"His Your Majesty..."

Do you think you still have the right to call me Your Majesty?

"..."

"I was about to give birth at that time, it was the birth of a new life for the Silver Dragon race, and you betrayed us at that moment. Do you know, Maureen, if it weren't for my husband, you would have killed not only me and my daughter, but also thousands of your fellow Silver Dragons."

The reason why Losweiser was angry can be simply put as these two points.

First, because of the issue of reproduction, not only for silver dragons, but for the entire Dragon Race, the birth of a new life is something that deserves attention, especially when it is born viviparous, which is of paramount importance.

Secondly, Maureen's treason would cause a large-scale death of her fellow silver dragons.

Constantine's power is undeniable. Anna can be considered a strong person below the Dragon King level, but she is still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of Constantine.

So what Losweiser said was not an exaggeration at all; if it weren't for Leon back then, the Silver Dragon Clan would no longer exist.

Of course, Losweiser also knew that there was little connection between Leon's intervention and the Silver Dragon Clan's unharmed state.

He chose to help in order to protect his daughters and... her.

Well, we can discuss this matter later. The most urgent task is to deal with this traitor in front of us.

"I won't deal with you immediately, Maureen. Is there any information you have that I don't know about but now want to tell me?" Losweiser asked.

Maureen clenched her fist, feeling the warmth of Losweiser's fingertips, and mustered the courage to meet her gaze.

"I have nothing to say to you, and neither does Shirley."

Upon hearing this, Losweiser was taken aback, and then actually let out a cold laugh.

Maureen was bewildered by the laughter.

What are you laughing at?

"My husband told me that you can know a person's face but not their heart. A seemingly ordinary and well-behaved girl may be scheming in every way."

Rosevie said, "Even now, you're still thinking of dragging your accomplice Shirley down with you, Maureen."

'Shirley too,' these simple five words reveal the filthy heart beneath Maureen's seemingly harmless exterior. Part Three

From her perspective, Shirley had been very kind to her, after all, she had thought of taking her along when they ran away—even though they were caught, Maureen probably wouldn't have been able to escape the internal investigation after tonight anyway.

However, during the final confrontation, she tried to drag Shirley into the mess, giving Shirley no chance to redeem herself.

Did she think Losweiser couldn't understand or something?

Oh well, it doesn't matter.

Because—seven

"If you turn around now, you'll find that your Sister Shirley isn't kneeling here like you."

"Wh-what..." (9)

Maureen turned around and was shocked to find Shirley still standing there, coldly watching her.

"Shirley, you!—You lied to me?!" After a brief moment of shock, Maureen angrily questioned Shirley.

"Does a rebel even have the nerve to be angry about being deceived?" Shirley replied calmly.

"You..." I

Maureen wanted to denounce these people as shameless and despicable.

But these words should never have come from a traitor like her.

It's completely upside down! (Teasing/Flirting)

However, someone spoke up for her.

Then they heard the Queen's husband's voice coming from behind the tree.

The black-haired man with the strange appearance stepped out from behind the tree and slowly said,

"You might think our entrapment tactics are unethical, even shameless, but we're not following the law. As long as we can catch you, the traitor, what does it matter how unscrupulous the methods we use?"

Mr. Casmod understood the essence of this statement: choosing the appropriate means for the appropriate circumstances.

He's not a police officer; you can't arrest a murderer without an arrest warrant.

Similarly, catching undercover agents does not require following the process of 'clues → evidence → inference → identity confirmation'.

To put it simply, it doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat!

"But how did you know it was me..." Maureen asked a question that is asked to all undercover agents and traitors when they are discovered.

Leon was very familiar with this phrase.

Because Victor had asked a similar question when he was exposed.

However, he was willing to give this traitorous woman a brief explanation.

"You still remember your Queen —tsk."

He paused, realizing his statement was inappropriate, and immediately corrected himself.

"Do you remember the day my wife gave birth, you came to the bedroom to tell me that we could escape through a certain path in the back mountain, that it was safe? But I just casually tested the magic circle for my birthday blessing and ended up luring out the Crimson Flame Dragon that was lying in ambush on that path?"

Maureen's thoughts returned to that day.

Before launching the attack, she did receive instructions from Constantine to lure Losweiser to the path behind the mountain.

She did indeed carry out the order step by step.

To her surprise, this Prince, who usually seemed only interested in taking care of children, was actually quite knowledgeable about military strategy, and while being cautious, he also noticed Maureen's unusual behavior...

"So that's how it is..."

"Of course, that alone is not enough to be 100% certain that you are a traitor," Leon said.

"Then, when did you find out... that I was a traitor?"

Leon pretended to ponder for a moment, then replied seriously, "Ten minutes ago."

"Ten minutes ago..." Maureen felt that her intelligence had been greatly insulted.

This is how entrapment is carried out.

After all, the other party doesn't need to follow any so-called "rules and procedures".

Moreover, Leon's actions are not merely entrapment; he is always bold yet cautious in his dealings.

By deliberately choosing to send Shirley fishing late at night, even if Maureen wasn't the traitor, it wouldn't alert the real traitor and arouse suspicion.

However, it now appears that General Leon's judgment was quite accurate.

Losweiser released her, then stood up and looked down at her.

"I'm not interested in why you betrayed me. My husband told me that the reasons become meaningless the moment the betrayer makes the choice. Of course, I also think there's a lot of truth in another of his statements."

"Those who rebel must not be allowed to live."

Losweiser glanced sideways at the Head Maid.

"Anna, lock her in the dungeon and deal with her another day."

Inside the dungeon, the maid Maureen —or rather, the traitor Maureen —was chained to a shelf with anti-magic chains.

Suddenly, crisp footsteps sounded outside the cell.

The high heels tapped on the cold floor tiles, echoing in the dark, damp iron cage.

"Squeak—"

The cell door opened, Maureen could only vaguely hear that familiar yet authoritative voice giving orders to the jailer guarding her.

"You all go outside and keep watch. The Prince and I want to interrogate her ourselves."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As the jailer spoke, he tossed aside the blood-stained rattan whip in his hand, as if it were a veiled reminder of his unfinished work.

Leon's gaze lingered briefly on the vine whip, its surface stained with blood, outlining the mournful cries that had echoed through the dungeon.

Looking up at Maureen again, this once loyal servant was now a ruined statue, her former radiance now bearing only the marks of time. Her disheveled hair fell around her face, the cold stone and iron frame forming a backdrop that painted a picture of a treacherous person.

Rebels are intolerable to anyone, regardless of race.

These rebels, disguised as their own kind, carried cold, sharp blades. Perhaps they never truly realized the devastating consequences of the secrets they exchanged in the darkness.

Those silent acts of betrayal can, in an instant, take away the lives of countless innocent people and even destroy a peaceful homeland.

Leon had experienced betrayal and witnessed the losses it brought.

Therefore, he no longer has any sympathy for traitors, undercover agents, or moles.

Oh, of course, compassion only refers to trying to understand the traitors' motives for choosing to betray, not to intend to let them off the hook.

This change in mindset was largely thanks to Victor. When Leon first learned of Victor's motives for betrayal, he felt that asking such a question was a complete waste of time.

That's why he told Losweiser before this sting operation against Maureen that there was no need to know the traitor's motives.

Well, it seems his fake wife did listen to what he said.

"Shall you ask, or shall I?"

Losweiser's voice interrupted Leon's thoughts.

Leon snapped out of his reverie, leaned against the table, and crossed his arms. "You can do it."

"Why? This is clearly your own business." Although she was reluctant, Losweiser did not show a clear rejection.

Leon chuckled. "You're an official, you're better at this kind of thing than I am."

Losweiser rolled her eyes at him, a gesture that spoke volumes. "Then you'd better study properly. Don't just know how to fight."

"Yes, yes, I'm learning. Hurry up and start showing me, Ms. Melkwy."

(Shut up, prison isn't a place for you two to flaunt your love!)

Losweiser slowly turned her head and looked up at Maureen on the iron frame.

What tasks did Constantine give you?

The only response she received was Maureen's weak breathing.

"Besides reporting my exact delivery date, what other instructions did he give you?"

The lifeless rebel remained with his head bowed, offering no response.

"Maureen, Constantine is dead. You no longer need to remain loyal to him. Tell me what I want to know, and I will let you leave this world peacefully."

"Huff... huff..."

After several more rounds of threats and questioning, Maureen remained silent.

Just as Losweiser was about to speak again, she heard a suppressed laugh coming from behind her.

She slowly turned her head halfway, her silver eyes glaring at Leon. "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing... I just remembered something happy."

"What's making you happy?"

"I was trying to learn interrogation techniques from the Silver Dragon Queen, but after interrogating her for a long time, she didn't say a single word. What top-notch skills, Your Majesty."

Losweiser rolled her eyes at him, not arguing with him, and simply replied, "Idiot, open your eyes wide and watch carefully."

After saying that, Losweiser stepped forward and gently placed her palm on Maureen's forehead.

Immediately afterwards, a faint silver light flickered, transforming into countless streams of water-like substance that flowed into Maureen's head through the blood vessels beneath her skin.

Leon narrowed his eyes and examined it carefully, only to discover that what was occupied by Losweiser's Magic Power was not some blood vessel, but Maureen's magic circuit.

As her own magical circuits were invaded by external Magic Power, Maureen's body began to show signs of resistance.

But unfortunately, her hands and feet were bound by magic-suppressing chains, and all she could do was tremble and growl.

Undoubtedly, this process is somewhat painful, but it should not be fatal.

Leon believed that Losweiser had a plan.
