Chapter 14
Lucius stood under the scorching sun with an icy expression. His eyes locked on Violet and the male
servant, who were in each other’s arms.
From where he was standing, they looked like they were flirting with each other.
Violet and the male servant pulled away at the same time. She stumbled a bit but managed to steady
herself.
“We…” She was about to explain herself. However, instead of approaching her, he turned and went

the palace.
For some reason, she felt dejected when she watched him leave.
Was she actually starting to see herself as Agatha?
“Madam, Master Lucius wants to see you.” George came over. His expression was dark. He
unfastened the chain that had tethered Violet to the wooden stake. After hesitating for a moment, he
handed it to her. Even without being chained up, she could not possibly escape from here.
She struggled back to the palace while the chains made loud clanging sounds. A rush of cold air
instantly greeted her. She felt significantly better and more alert.
Lucius was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and his hands on his knees. He emitted a cold,
authoritative aura.
However, the atmosphere was too heavy and stifling. A row of imposing bodyguards stood in formation
behind
him.
He rarely adopted such an authoritative and imposing manner in his own palace.
“The servant has been fired,” George reported in a low voice as he walked over.
Lucius ignored him; his expression stayed indifferent.
Violet sensed something was wrong and said, “Why did you fire him? He was just being kind to m-
“Do you want me to catch you two red-handed on the bed instead?” He cut her off rudely and smirked.
Agatha, are you so desperate for a man that you’re willing to sleep with just anyone?”
“What?”
Violet was shocked. She was not expecting this to cause her trouble.
“Since you want to be comforted so badly, I should let you know what it feels like to be deprived of
comfort,
no?”
She was speechless.
What did he mean by that?
She did not even know what to say as an answer to that.
Lucius stood up abruptly and walked toward her. She suddenly felt like she was being engulfed by a
huge shadow. Her already drowsy mind became even drowsier.
He held her arms tightly. She could not fight back as he pulled her toward him.
He leaned over slowly and put his hand over her neck, as if he was about to squeeze down.
“Stop!”
She was so frightened that she instinctively struggled against his hold.
He whispered in her ear, “I would never dirty my hands with your blood.”
His words were merciless and cold.
She realized she had once again been overthinking things. She pursed her lips and was unable to say
another
word.
“So-” She felt him grip the back of her shirt, and he yanked her out of his arms.
He pushed her and said, “Drag her outside by her legs, strip her naked, then tie her to a pole with no
shelter.
Make sure she gets no food, water, or sleep!”
Violet could not hold herself up and fell right in front of the line of bodyguards. It hurt, but what bothered
her
more was what Lucius said.
What did he tell them to do with her?
The bodyguards were taken aback by his unexpected order. They all looked alarmed as they took a
step back.
“What’s the matter? Can’t stand the thought of having all your rights stripped?”
He ignored the trembling guards. He only focused on Violet as he studied her. He interpreted her
response to
suit his own perspective.
“Lucius, you’re crossing the line!” she shouted. It was one thing to torment her, but humiliating her like
this
was just not right!
He did not seem to hear what she said. His attractive, indifferent face was like a demon’s.
“I’ll throw those who don’t do it into the swamp!”
