Chapter 47 Dangerous Alliance

• "Regina..." I heard Richard mumble my name under his breath as he turned away, his voice filled with agony.
• "Are you punishing him, or have I done the honor in your place?" Charles said it with a devilish smirk on his face. I could sense the tension between them as if they were locked in a battle for control. Richard's pained expression revealed the weight of his inner turmoil, while Charles seemed to relish the opportunity to assert his dominance.
