The Secret Code of Monsters.

Chapter 569 Ch.568 Rupert Benevento

Rupert Benevento.

The third son of the Benevento family.

The son of wealth who was born with gold flowing in the Pink Palace and holding a diamond in his hand - at least everyone held the same view before discovering his "specialness".

Since the eldest son inherited the throne and the second daughter was born rebellious, as the youngest child of the Benevento family, he was born without the need to bear those responsibilities that made people have to be decent, to be picky between the knives and forks of etiquette and interests, and to breathe the turbid air that cuts the lungs like broken glass.

He just wanted to squander like crazy, bury the naturally upturned nose inherited from his blood in the ravine, follow the desires that wriggled in his kidneys and intestines, and scrape off all the fabrics from all directions that he didn't want to see like scraping off fish scales.

He is still a good boy who is easily praised by others, a young man with a bright future, a real man, and a charming gentleman.

The premise of it all is very simple.

He is a normal child.

Normal, and human.

Unfortunately, he was only half satisfied.

When the panicked maid knocked on Mr. George's study door holding the hot swaddling clothes, and when the Duke, smoking a pipe, had no time to scold the young girl who was about to suffocate his son because she couldn't tie the baby's clothes tightly - before that, her head was exposed through the velvet hole in the cloth.

The Duke noticed the strange eyes before the maid.

Like a pair of 'cursed' eyes solidified from molten copper.

Light pink, like eyes of multi-faceted gems, will certainly receive the same treatment.

Special means abnormal, meaning something unknown has happened - either a shameful night, a sinful relationship, or the surname of Benevento is stained with dirty blood that should not be stained.

However, the Honourable George Sutherland Levinson Benevento was indeed a decisive man.

Since that day, apart from the collapse of a stable in the Benevento family villa complex, which killed seven servants, no rumors about the "third son" have been spread - although there are many people who know the tricks and sneer behind the scenes:
Why would the cleaning lady, the valet, and the midwife go to the stables, seven hundred feet away from the main building?
'Maybe they were planning to have a tea party in the choking area.'

Surely someone knows what this means.

Meaning, something interesting happened, something interesting about Benevento's son.

But the Duke's subsequent handling was still perfect.

He put a blindfold on his young son and told him not to take it off except late at night or when he was alone - otherwise he would be whipped with a horsewhip.

But he is a father after all.

You can't really beat your own child to death.

Later, as his wounds increased, the beatings turned into fasting - he was cursed to begin with, could he starve to death after just one or two meals?

Hunger is more painful than whipping.

Rupert has become much more obedient.

He was not allowed to attend any banquets, or even to go to crowded places. His activities were limited to the main building, the second floor, the courtyard, the flowerbed, and the small forest with fruit trees that his father turned a blind eye to at night.

In fact.

Under the care of some personal maids, he grew up quickly and had a cheerful and kind personality.

He originally understood his father's difficulties. As a father, he also felt pained that he had 'imprisoned' his son - they could have had long talks late at night and found a suitable way to get along with each other.

until a certain day.

Signor Benevento had heard some rumors through the housekeeper.

A young cleaning lady lost a pair of light gray muslin lace satin stockings designed specifically for ladies - this style was extremely fashionable and indecent at the time and could indeed turn people into beasts in some special circumstances.

Expensive enough too.

Otherwise, the maid wouldn't have made such a big fuss. A few days later.

While cleaning the room, a maid found the socks - a pair of torn gauze socks.

In Rupert Benevento's room.

The Duke thought.

should…

It couldn't be that a man climbed in through the window in the middle of the night, stole a pair of insignificant socks from an insignificant maid in the house, tried them on, and then framed his son - that couldn't be possible, could it?
Or a bird flew into the house and took the sock away, and it happened to land on his son's foot, and he happened to be asleep, tossing and turning, and put on the sock, and when he woke up, he panicked and stuffed it into his pillowcase -

That shouldn’t be the case, right?
This matter, like the seven servants, was suppressed forever before it could fully surface.

The Duke said nothing, nor did he do much to show it.

He just quietly dismissed the male servants who served his son and replaced all the servants with young and beautiful girls.

Until later.

A lot of things happened again.

such as.

The person in charge of preparing meals in the kitchen reported that the servants in charge of lighting the fire and cleaning the kitchen stole the fruit, or the housekeeper embezzled the money, preventing him from serving his master better. The housekeeper in charge of the food warehouse said that she had bought enough and did not put a penny into her own pocket.

It was a 'fashionable' fruit that originated from the servants of Her Majesty the Holy and Supreme Queen - some particularly clever servants who knew how to divide the Queen's tacit attention discovered the 'use' of this fruit.

Doesn't this fruit that 'produces cold and sticky liquid that reduces desire' just happen to be in line with their majesties' philosophy?

"Women should be loyal, docile, and always be vigilant and restrain their greed and impulse to constantly devour men's blood. As angels who will eventually return to the family, we should not be excessive and annoying in some places."

This maid is very clever.

She began to eat the fruit all day long and advertised it in public. After eating it, she completely lost interest in sex and never looked at other men again. If she had married at this time, she would have been a perfect wife.

Soon, the result she wanted came.

This word reached the Queen's ears.

She summoned the maid, rewarded her, and asked her to show other royal family members how to eat the long, green fruit.

soon.

When this dish was added to the Queen's afternoon tea and dinner, the trend quickly swept across London.

Women eat it a lot. Married women use it to prove their loyalty to their husbands and relatives, while unmarried women use it to demonstrate their own virtues so as to gain the upper hand in the upcoming "war".

Men also often put it on the dining table.

Whether they are married or not, they want to prove that they are not lustful and adhere to some nobility and coldness that are chiseled on the stone slabs and have flowed in their blood since ancient times.

then.

Some smart people started to think about this fruit: they introduced its vines into glass tubes and made a "corrector" to make this raw green and ripe yellow fruit grow straight and standard, and even later divided it into different grades with different prices.

This is the fruit that the servant of the Benevento family was talking about.

They lose a few every month.

Slender, stick-shaped.

Who ate it?
