A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 204 The Majestic Cave
Suddenly, the attendants cheered in unison, "Welcome, Your Majesty!"

Both were startled and turned to look ahead, where they saw Empress Garuda walking gracefully towards them amidst her entourage.

Jialin's eyes lit up as if he had found a lifeline. He rushed over and knelt at Jialouluo's feet, crying out in anguish, "Mother Empress, you must do justice for your son! This foreign female can't even produce any evidence, she's just slandering your son and father with empty words! I think she's a spy sent by a foreign country to sow discord, her heart is despicable! Mother Empress, quickly send someone to arrest her!"

Shen Tang sneered inwardly; it was a real shame that her acting skills weren't good enough for an Oscar.

Garuda frowned and looked at the group of people. "What happened?"

"Your Majesty, this father and son sent assassins yesterday to try to harm me and Princess Jialan."

Ignoring the murderous glares from the father and son, Shen Tang smiled and said, "You keep saying you want evidence, fine, then I'll produce the evidence and announce it to the world! You'd better take a good look!"

After saying that, Shen Tang took out a jade box from his spatial storage.

The moment the father and son saw the jade box, their expressions froze and became extremely ugly!

Shen Tang took out the doll from the box and handed it to the Empress, so that the Empress could see this witchcraft item for herself.

“Your Majesty, this was found by Jialan and me in the side palace. Everyone present can testify to this, and I have also recorded a video as proof. If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can watch this video!”

Shen Tang played the video on the spot.

Faced with the facts, the father and son had no way to deny it.

Sivar suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground, his face deathly pale. What? How could this be?!
"Mother, Father and I know we were wrong. We were bewitched and did something stupid! Please forgive us this time, Mother, for the sake of the many years we have served you!" Jialin clung to Jialouluo's legs, tears streaming down her face, begging for forgiveness.

Garuda looked at the witch puppet in his hand, his expression changing several times. Hearing the cries and pleas for mercy in his ears, he was furious. He kicked Jialin to the ground and said, "You still have the nerve to beg for mercy from me?"

Garuda's expression was furious. His cold gaze swept over the father and son kneeling on the ground. His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was icy cold.
"Guards, strip Xivar and Jialin of their royal status, break their fish tails, and banish them to the Xiong Cave!"

These words caused an instant silence to fall over the room, and a storm of emotions surged within everyone present.

The Cave of Heroes! A place darker and more dreary than a prison, a place where life is worse than death!

That place is hell for male beasts, and countless tragic incidents are reported every year.

Orcs sent to the Caverns will become toys to be played with and abused at will, never to see the light of day again, until they are ravaged to death!
Within a few years, the male beasts' bodies would collapse, becoming like a lump of stinking, rotting mud. It was even said that some male beasts were sent in that day and dragged out horizontally that same night, their corpses thrown into mass graves to feed the sea monsters. It was a truly tragic sight...

Sivar felt his blood run cold, his limbs stiff and icy. He stared blankly at the monarch who had been by his side day and night, the man beside him, his heart ashen, his voice trembling, "Why!"

He suddenly stood up and rushed over, but the guards subdued him instantly.

Shivar stared at Garuda with resentment, like a raging beast, and roared in despair, "I admit it, I did it! Just for a prince, you're going to banish me to that kind of place!"

Garuda looked down at him coldly, questioning him with an air of authority, "Now that you dislike a prince, you dare to use such evil magic! If one day I displease you and you secretly resent me, will you also use this method to plot against me in private?"

Her last sentence suddenly became more forceful, and Sivar collapsed to the ground, his voice trembling as he said, "No, Your Majesty, I didn't mean to..."

No matter how he tries to argue, there's nothing he can do.

Garuda looked at him as if he were an insignificant, boring toy that she found utterly repulsive.

Sivar had a lot more to say, but when he met the Queen's gaze, he suddenly couldn't utter a single word.

His chest heaved, and he let out muffled laughs, as if mocking himself.

Having served His Majesty for so many years, he knew her character all too well. Was Garuda furious because she felt sorry for the prince? No, she was acting more for her own sake. Such evil magic was absolutely forbidden in her harem, and she would use this opportunity to make an example of him and his son!
Everyone said he was the Queen's most favored concubine, otherwise he wouldn't have been made a secondary consort, but only Sivar himself knew that he had never won Garuda's heart.

I never imagined that our years of friendship would be so fragile, not even as strong as a piece of paper. His Majesty is truly as cold and heartless as ever...

When Jialin heard that he was to be exiled to Xiong Cave, he was so frightened that he almost wet himself. He broke down and hugged Jialouluo's leg again, crying and sobbing, "Mother! Please forgive me this time! I will definitely repent and never do anything stupid again! I will definitely treat my brother well... Please, please don't throw me into that kind of place! My life is ruined!"

Garuda remained unmoved, its gaze growing increasingly disgusted.

She had so many concubines and children that she couldn't even remember them all. Losing one or two wouldn't make any difference to Garuda.

"Guards, take them away and deal with them. Don't let them annoy me."

"……Yes!"

The servants dragged the two away.

Jialin's pig-like wailing grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.

Shen Tang hadn't expected Garuda to be so ruthless. She snapped out of her shock and sincerely said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Garuda looked at her and said in a low voice, "No need to thank me. They violated the prohibition first and should be punished. The fact that such filthy people came into the palace is due to my poor supervision, which caused our distinguished guest and Lan'er to be frightened. I should apologize to you."

"Your Majesty is too kind. Once the person is dealt with, everything will be fine... By the way, Your Majesty, could you please give me this doll?"

Garuda looked surprised. What did she want such an evil thing for?
Garuda originally intended to destroy it directly, but since Shen Tang asked for it, she was too lazy to ask any more questions and simply gave it to her.

Shen Tang put the doll into her spatial storage. This thing was too magical and too strange. It would be a pity to destroy it directly. She wanted to keep it to study it and maybe she could find other clues.

"By the way, what exactly happened yesterday?"

Shen Tang recounted the details of yesterday's assassination attempt to the Empress.

Shen Tang thought about the curse within Jia Lan, but decided not to say anything.

This is, after all, a secret of the priestly clan.

If Garuda didn't know, it meant that Lunas hadn't told her either, and as an outsider, she had even less reason to tell him.

Garuda thought it was the puppet's doing and looked at Jialan with concern. Seeing that he was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief. "But how did you save him later?"

"I entered Jialan's mental illusion... Later, a senior found me."

Garuda: "Oh? Who is it?"

Jialan also looked at Shen Tang in surprise. He didn't have many memories in the mental illusion and didn't know what happened next.

Shen Tang looked at the mother and son and finally spoke up, "I met Jia Lan's father, the High Priest of the Sea Kingdom."

Garuda was incredulous and utterly shocked.

Jialan was stunned on the spot.

His father is still alive? The High Priest of the Sea Kingdom?
