That leaden heart seems to become a different treasure in the eyes of different people.

Without exception, those things were the things that brought them the most joy.

For example, at this moment, in the eyes of the Queen of Hearts, this gem represents the power she seeks.

It seems that once you acquire it, you will gain the greatest happiness.

At that moment, King K beside him seemed to have seen something as well.

The Queen of Hearts' expression shifted; she sensed that King K was showing signs of breaking free from her control.

"Alright, I admit this is the most dazzling ring. You should put it away for now," the Queen of Hearts quickly said.

If the warmth of this ring continues to spread, the king may indeed regain his freedom.

At that time, everything she has done will be exposed to the public, and everything she has will be ruined as a result.

So at this point, she could only admit that the ring was the most beautiful ring.

Seeing that the ring had been put away, the crisis was temporarily over, but the beast had already passed two trials, and only the last one remained.

“I did make an agreement with you, but within that agreement you cannot commit any other moral sins.”

“If you have any other moral issues, we cannot fulfill our agreement.”

As she spoke, the Queen of Hearts said, "In the city, there is a statue of a prince."

"But one day, the gold leaves and jewels on the prince statue disappeared without a trace."

"Then even the prince statue was taken away."

"And according to the mayor, it was the Beast who stole the prince's statue."

"Isn't theft immoral?!"

“I’m not stealing, I’m saving a life!” the beast said in a deep voice, his eyes narrowed.

"Theft is saving lives, that's such a creative way to put it."

"Yes, wouldn't killing some of the lower classes free them from their miserable lives?"

Upon seeing this, the Queen of Hearts was about to declare the agreement invalid.

“This has naturally been confirmed by others!” the beast then said.

Just then, a bird flew over from afar; it was a swallow.

After the swallows arrived, the shepherd lightly touched his finger, and a fairy appeared.

This is another function of divine gifts: to attract 'employees' of morality and law.

After the fairy appeared, she bestowed a blessing upon the swallow, granting it the ability to speak.

The swallow then recounted the story of the Happy Prince.

"So that's how it is. A mere mayor actually caused the death of such a virtuous prince."

"Send men to arrest and prosecute him immediately!"

At this point, all three hurdles have been overcome.

The agreement has been fulfilled.

The wedding of the Beast and the Princess seems to be a done deal.

Chapter 605 Framed

Upon seeing this, the Queen of Hearts' face flushed red, and the veins on her head bulged.

The next moment, it seemed her head was about to explode, turning into that big-headed shape. Most importantly, her witch aura would be impossible to conceal and would inevitably be exposed.

At that time, she will definitely be swarmed by these nobles, princes, and heroes and chopped into pieces.

She tried her best to control herself and prevent her desires from getting out of control.

But there was no way to solve it.

The thought that the throne she coveted would be taken by this beast, and that her daughter would be an accomplice in it all, filled her with rage.

All that time and effort spent on planning was ruined by his own daughter's actions.

"Don't blame me, daughter." The Queen of Hearts made up her mind, and as this thought settled, her composure returned, for by doing so, no one would ever be able to wrest the throne from her.

In the palace, Sleeping Beauty lay on her bed, and the maids attending to her all froze, becoming 'puppets'.

The 'Round Tower Dog' that was guarding this spot also fell unconscious without anyone noticing.

Although these large dogs are powerful, they are not without ways to deal with them, especially against a witch who knows a lot of witchcraft and has been preparing for a long time.

Then the maids expressionlessly drew their weapons—claws taken from and sharpened from animal specimens.

These mindless puppets plunged their claws into Sleeping Beauty's body and ripped it out forcefully.

"This way, the princess is inside!" the king's voice rang out at that moment.

The beast felt a strong unease at this moment. Under the pretext of holding a wedding, the king invited him to the place where the princess was now sleeping so that they could exchange rings.

They then used the excuse that this involved the princess's privacy, so they asked the others to wait outside.

At that moment, the beast's keen sense of smell detected a foul odor.

"What happened inside?" the beast asked.

However, at this moment, the king simply smiled and said, "Open the door, beast!"

The beast sensed something was wrong the next moment.

Then the king suddenly pounced on the beast.

Meanwhile, inside the room, the maids wrapped a bloody mass in the bedsheet and threw it directly at the beast.

Wild animals instinctively smell the blood in those things.

As soon as the claw was cut open, a mass of internal organs was seen inside.

"The beast has gone mad! He killed my daughter!!!" the king cried out anxiously.

The beast immediately understood what was happening.

He suddenly rushed into the room.

The princess had been disemboweled, her wounds looking as if she had been ripped open by a ferocious wild beast.

"How could you do this?!" The beast had truly begun to go berserk.

He glared at the king, unable to understand how the other man could have gone this far.

In an effort to prevent him from marrying into the royal family, they even killed their own daughter and used that as a pretext to frame him.

He couldn't understand why things had to go this far!

The king did not answer his question, but instead kept calling for the guards.

At the same time, the maids, one by one, lunged at the beasts with expressionless faces.

Weapons like daggers appeared in his hands, and his only purpose was to kill him!

In this situation, the beast has no choice but to act.

He swung his claws, and with a single grab, the maid who had lunged at him was sent flying backward. Then, in mid-air, she seemed to be sliced ​​in half, turning into pieces that scattered all over the ground.

The beast was shocked by what it saw. It hadn't used that much force at all, and even if it had, it wouldn't have been enough to tear a person to pieces.

However, at that moment, the people outside heard the shouts and rushed in.

By this time, many people had witnessed this scene.

His insane killing spree seems to be a fact that everyone has witnessed.

Furthermore, from beginning to end, the world has shown genuine discrimination against 'monsters' like him.

At this point, almost everyone believed the king's explanation.

After all, nobles represent credibility, and a ruler of a country would not easily lie.

Monsters represent a lack of morality; they can do anything, and it's all possible and justifiable for them.

Therefore, even though the beast has now gained recognition, completed the three trials, and is about to marry the princess, there is no reason for it to kill anyone.

However, with the king shouting this and the people rushing in seeing the blood, most people basically concluded that something was wrong with the beast.

"It was the king and his men who killed them!" the beast cried out, but apart from the shepherd, no one was willing to believe him.

They shouted frantically about killing the beast and then rushed inside.

The Queen of Hearts was also among them, and then she embraced the princess's gruesome body and wept bitterly.

"How could you be so cruel as to kill my daughter? Why did you come back?!" The Queen of Hearts cried miserably, her emotions overflowing, and the resentment and pain she felt were absolutely genuine.

The shepherd saw this and kept shouting for everyone to calm down, but it was no use.

A large number of people rushed in, and the scene had already been completely destroyed.

Meanwhile, the use of various blessings has caused this place to become extremely chaotic. Even if there were some blessing that could restore the truth, it would be impossible to do so at this moment.

"It seems the divine messenger's judgment wasn't so good after all. The person you considered your best friend is ultimately just a beast." At this moment, the nobles who had been watching the spectacle from the sidelines also laughed and sighed.

This is exactly what they wanted to see.

Although they were not entirely clear on what exactly happened, they had successfully exerted pressure on King K, leading to his honor killing.

Or did the beast truly go berserk upon seeing the other?

However, the shepherd has lost a helper, which has also undermined his authority.

In the future, it will not be so easy for the shepherds to push for aristocratic reforms as before.

Games among nobles are governed by rules.

The shepherd's entry as a messenger of God gave him a significant advantage.

However, once his identity is tarnished, other nobles can rely on the rules of the nobility to gradually erode the power that this divine messenger should have.

The shepherd, however, had no time to concern himself with such matters.

He rushed into the crowd, trying to stop the fighting that was taking place.

But at that very moment, casualties had already occurred.

From that moment on, things became irreversible.

The shepherd thought he had grown strong enough to fight against this treacherous world.

However, reality told him that he was still too young.

The darkness and profundity of this world were far greater than he had imagined.

Chapter 606 Even More Despicable, Even More Shameless

The beast was now in utter despair.

The event was so sudden and far beyond what normal people could have expected or understood.

The biological parents cruelly murdered their daughter simply because they didn't want her to marry.

This is something that wild beasts cannot comprehend.

And then, with the princess's death.

His chance to make amends to the other party will also be gone forever.

He could never make amends for the guilt in his conscience, and he would forever remain a beast in this state.

Most importantly, the beast knew how much this event would affect the shepherd's reforms to restrict the behavior of the nobility.

Although he didn't do it, he messed everything up.

This despair gnawed at his heart, and then at that moment his gaze met that of the shepherd who wanted to stop the fight and save him.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and the beast charged at the shepherd.

The shepherd had a bad feeling when he saw this.

Sure enough, he then heard the roar of a beast: "I was lurking beside you from the beginning, you didn't expect that, did you?"
