272. Money, Money, Money…

The bloodbath wasn't fast, and in some cases, swords were not even used. When the news of Conrad becoming the King spread through the castle halls, many women in the Harem wing of the castle shut themselves inside their rooms with their children. 

There, some slit their own wrists, along with their children's. At the same time, some who lived on higher floors jumped out with their children to their inevitable death. It was not a good sight to hear the screams of someone falling from a tower in the castle every few minutes. 

But still, Conrad didn't show any mercy or stop the massacre. Instead, he ordered his soldiers not to stop until each one of his stepmothers and step-siblings was dead, for even a tiny glance at them enraged him, reminding him of his childhood that he spent in pain and misery despite being the Crown Prince.
