Chapter 1457: It’s not your turn to speak in the 1456th round.

Laka suddenly felt he could hardly breathe, the intense pressure forcing him to lower his head, “I understand, aunt.”

But Mahri would not lower his head. It was the first time in his life that he had been hit, and by a woman at that! If word got out, how could he face anyone in the future?

“Samiyi!” Mahri struggled forcefully, gritting his teeth as he said, “If you lay a hand on me, I will make you regret it!”

Samiyi sneered, “I advise you to stay put. If you dare to make another move, my guards will not be so polite.”

To prove Samiyi’s point, one of the guards immediately forced Mahri’s face onto the floor, compressing it to the point of deformation, making him look utterly humiliated.

Because the pressure was so great, Mahri could no longer speak. His eyes rolled back, filled with flames of pain and fury.

...

Samiyi showed no mercy; she slightly raised her hand and said, “Gag him and drag him out. Arrange for two people to supervise Mr. Duke and after his confinement is over, let him out.”

Tan Rou admired Samiyi once again for her decisiveness and ruthlessness in handling matters.

Others might hesitate to act out of fear due to Mahri’s status, but Samiyi was different. She always used straightforward and brute force to solve problems; she had no need to reason with those who defied reason, but simply suppressed them directly.

Mahri was dragged away by the guards with his mouth covered, his eyes brimming with anger, but he was helpless to resist—this was the royal palace, not his estate, and no one here would aid him.

Oh, but not necessarily. Someone who had come with him saw him being dragged away and spoke up to plead for him.

“Your Highness, isn’t this a bit too violent?” Kudu asked with a smile, “Duke Mahri has made significant contributions to the nation, you shouldn’t insult him like this!”

“Is it your place to speak?” Samiyi asked, “What is your status? Who allowed you to come inside the palace?”

These questions made Kudu blush and go pale, his mouth opening and closing without producing a single word.

Samiyi didn’t like Kudu. If it weren’t for her brother enjoying this man’s company, she wouldn’t even bother to give Kudu a pleasant look.

Now that she was in charge of the palace, there was no need to feign smiles at these people. She could act and speak as she judged fitting.

Kudu was quick to notice Samiyi’s distaste for him, though he couldn’t understand why she would show signs of disgust towards him. Had he offended her in any way?

“Your Highness, have I done something wrong?” Kudu asked with a smile, “Since you dislike me, could you give me a reason why?”

“Heh,” Samiyi chuckled, “When did I ever say I disliked you? And given our respective statuses, why should I need to explain to you why I dislike you?”

Though Samiyi spoke with a laugh, Kudu still felt a chilling air from her expression. She had changed.

In Kudu’s memory, Princess Samiyi was gentle and dignified. But the current Princess Samiyi was not only ungentle but had also become very cold. Could this be what Princess Samiyi was truly like?

“I want to see His Majesty the King,” Kudu suddenly demanded, “His Majesty said I could freely enter and leave the palace and see him anytime. Yesterday when I came to the palace, His Majesty was resting, but surely he can’t still be resting today?”

Samiyi responded calmly, “His Majesty is indeed not resting, but he will not come to see you. He has already told me to keep those close to Prince Busodi away from him; he would find it annoying.”

Kudu stressed, “My relationship with Prince Busodi is only that of friends…”

“And what does that prove?” Samiyi interrupted, “Who His Majesty wants to see or doesn’t want to see—is it your place to dictate?”

Kudu was not a fool like Mahri. Seeing that Samiyi would not allow him to see the King, he no longer insisted, lest he end up like Mahri.

“Alright, if Your Highness does not want me to see the King, then I will not.” Kudu said with a smile.
