Freia vented her frustration in the room. The young man at her feet was already on the verge of death, unable to continue even wailing.
After being beaten until he passed out from pain, then awakened and beaten again and again, he had gone completely numb.
His eyes were empty.
The maids lined up on their knees beside him all lowered their heads in terror!
They were not surprised by such a scene. Most of the royal princes and princesses were far from normal. They regarded human lives as worthless and did not care about other people's feelings.
They even treated others' pain as a means of venting their own emotions.
Having vented enough, Freia found the young man beneath her feet, now completely motionless, rather boring. She kicked him aside and looked toward the kneeling maids nearby.
"Clean him up..."
"Yes."
At her command, the maids hurriedly rose and prepared to clean up the corpse before them and the bloodstains in the room. Their movements were highly practiced; it was clear this was not their first time.
It could even be said that Freia's personality was not considered the most twisted or deranged in this Empire. At most, she ranked somewhere in the middle.
The higher one's status in this country, the more depraved they tended to be. Some would brutally murder the guards and maids around them simply out of anger. At least Freia did not casually kill her own maids, which was her only redeeming quality.
Those maids closest to Freia were even treated fairly well.
They had long grown accustomed to such things. After all, how many people in positions of power were truly good?
After Jiowral had nearly taken control of the Western Continent, the nobles and royal families gained ever greater power and wealth.
