Xiao Nan nodded, remembering that the Princess couldn’t see. He set the room temperature just right, and as he was about to turn off the light, a sharp voice suddenly pierced the air.
"Don’t turn off the light."
In the darkness, this sharp and somewhat bleak voice made Xiao Nan’s heart tremble suddenly.
The next moment, the light dispelled the darkness.
The night was like a giant net, entangling her completely. The more she struggled, the tighter the net closed in, gradually stripping her of breath.
The night was so silent, in this suffocating silence, she could hear her own frantic heartbeat, panic, fear, anxiety...
She curled up in the blanket, yet the warmth couldn’t resist the cold that penetrated her bones, the night was so long and so cold.

"Brother, don’t blame me, I don’t want this either. Blame yourself for betraying the master because of a woman. The master hasn’t killed you, which is already the greatest mercy for you."
In the North Sea Islands, there was a natural island, desolate and secluded, scarcely inhabited, with nothing but the boundless sea and the deep, endless sea breeze. Even a seabird found it hard to fly over this place.
And on this island, there was a massive prison, once you entered this prison, the only way to leave was in the next life.
The prison had the most complete security system, even if you managed to escape, facing the boundless sea without a vessel, you would only end up in a fish’s belly.
The prison was divided into high, middle, and lower classes. The lower-class prison exceeded the ancient death row cells, filthy and cold, crawling with snakes and rats, absolutely surpassing the limits of human fear.
The high-class prison was like a suite in a five-star hotel, clean and tidy, equipped with modern facilities, offering a panoramic natural sea view outside the window, every meal delivered through special channels, good food. Apart from the loss of freedom, it was almost a life of enjoyment.
Yet for some, this long confinement, a life with lost freedom, was worse than death.
A man lay on a large bed, beneath him were soft cotton sheets, his eyes staring at the ceiling, limbs stiff, constantly gazing at the ceiling, nails digging deeply into the sheets.
Jiang Mi’er stood by the bed, looking down at the man lying there, sighing: "The master is still reluctant to kill you, but reinstating you is impossible. Brother, if you can repent, I will plead for you before the master, striving for an early departure. Otherwise, you will spend the rest of your life here...."
The man lay there motionless, as if he hadn’t heard a thing.
Jiang Mi’er glanced at him, covered him with the cotton sheets, "Perhaps this is the best choice for you, I will come again to see you when I have time, I’m leaving."
After speaking, she turned and left.
"Take good care of him, if anything happens, even ten heads won’t be enough to compensate." Jiang Mi’er’s stern voice carried through the tightly closed door.
Then, the sound of high heels on the floor gradually faded away.
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, the sound of waves crashing outside, the pale golden sunset filtering through the curtains onto the room floor, creating a desolate feeling in this isolated silence.
After an unknown amount of time, the man’s fingers moved slightly, struggling to prop himself up, slowly rising.
Strong anesthetics, fearing they were ineffective, they specially administered several doses, ha... they really regarded him highly.
This was the North Sea Prison, Queen’s secret prison, because it was far from the sea routes, no one could find the exact location of this island. Using satellite cloud charts as the coordinate axis, applied formulas, revealed the prison’s exact location, so to find its precise position, one must first get the formula, which is the password, a password known only to Queen, that woman was too cunning.
As far as he knew, the island secretly detained some long-missing politicians, these people became stepping stones on Queen’s ambitious path, never seeing daylight in their entire lives.
He must leave here, Queen’s reason for imprisoning him proved she was going to target Yun Ya, given Queen’s methods over the years, Yun Ya’s fate was predictable.
Yet he still harbored a glimmer of hope, after all, Yun Ya was her biological daughter. No matter how cruel she was, she wouldn’t extinguish her humanity...
But deep down, he knew well, that woman had no humanity...
The most urgent task now was to leave here. Every seven days, someone came to the island to resupply, this was the chance. But how to leave the room? He was affected by anesthetics, his whole body weak, finding walking difficult, let alone escaping under heavy guard.
