her when you went?”
“Don’t be ridiculous. There's no child at all, just her and a house full of people watching her,” Lionel replied.
“Then, that’s good.” Marjorie sighed in relief.

The SuprCourt was investigating Eleanor’s case again today. This time, under Salvador’s orders, they
resorted to torture.

sleeve, go ahead and use them.”
Naturally, Matthew showed no mercy since she had said that. He put her through every basic form of torture,
working to break her stubbornness, but she endured in silence. She didn’t reveal a single thing. keeping her lips
sealed tight.
Everyone had anticipated this outcome. After all, the severe punishments had been abolished during the reign of
the late king. If they truly resorted to extrtorture, perhaps they could pry something out of her.
Salvador wouldn't resort to the brutal punishments that Sigmund had abolished. He wouldn't act against the late
king's wishes, at least not now. With most of the court filled with Sigmund’s old officials, Salvador didn’t want to

challenging enough. However, he felt no sympathy for him, knowing the man’s arrogance had led him to this
point.
With a wave, Rafael dismissed Matthew and the others, preserving Malcolm a little dignity in the process. Once
inside, Malcolm stood awkwardly. He didn’t utter a word or even address anyone and simply stood there in a
