Slytherin Cord calmly stood up and wiped the saliva from his face.

'Slap!!!!!!'

A Loud crispy sound soon resounded throughout the entire dungeon.... as it echoed around the staircases of twisted rock.

The woman had just received one of the hardest slaps in her entire life.

In short, the slap was so hard that in addition to all the other slaps and tortures that she had received.... this one immediately tore a piece of flesh from her dry skin, instantly letting out blood to ooze out from it.

But even though it hurt like hell, she just kept smiling at Slytherin Cord calmly.

And who was she?

She was Mona Ferris Barn.... the Ghostly prince's mother.

A while back, William had left for Baymard..... and even know she knew that she wasn't supposed to leave the hideout until he got back..... she wanted to head out towards the royal palace now that Alec was also away, as she had wanted to set out her trials way ahead of time as well.

Of course, her husband didn't approve of the idea, but she pleaded and begged for long... and just like that, she was let out with several hidden guards at her side.... who would he dressed as farmers.

But for the sake of blending in with the crowd, they couldn't be too much in number.... as they would look too suspicious.

So he let her go with only 5 guards at most.

After all, in each city.... they had hundreds... if not thousands of their loyal men stationed there.

So once she got into any city, she would definitely be fine.

At least that was her husband's thought process.

Hence she was permitted to infiltrate the royal palace in the Capital.

Typically, everything would've gone perfect fine.... but after travelling for more than a month towards the Capital.... she had decided to stop at the city of Sangria, which so happened to be where her son and this Slytherin Cord had last fought in a while back.

Anyway... the last time she had received news of where Slytherin was, she was told that he was out somewhere in the East.

However.... what she didn't know, was that her men had already written a letter to her and her people about Slytherin's presence in Sangria city.

But because she had left before the letter had arrived, she was completely oblivious to anything at all.

And while she was on the outskirts of the city, a group of able-bodied men quickly sprung up from nowhere... and immediately captured her and her men just before they could enter the city.

But all-in-all.... one thing she was sure of, was that this Slytherin Cord didn't know that she was William's mother.... since he had NEVER actually seen William's face before.

To him, she was just one of William's nannies or some servant of William.

In addition to that, her entire family was wiped out when this Slytherin was probably just one year old..... so only those nobles Alec's age might have a better shot at remembering her.

As for knights around Alec's age.... unless they had once worked within her household, pr had seen her out with Oden..... then it would also be hard for them to remember or make out her true identity.

After all, at that time, she was a young noble lady.... hence she was restricted to the number of times she could leave her estate.

And she only went out during royal festivals and so on.

So with how many noblewomen that existed, please!!..... who would truly remember her up until now?

Her memory from when she was 15.....had faded away over these past 20 years..... and no one could really claim to even remember the daughter of the noble Ferris family that went extinct overnight.

Hence she was sure that even if Slytherin was given a year, he still wouldn't know her true identity.

As for Slytherin.... no one knew how much he had spent over these past 2 years in order to track William down.

He had painstakingly put his other jobs on hold.... just so that he could focus on taking William down.

In short, even Eli had given up on passing along other missions to Slytherin.... as all he spoke about was the Ghostly prince day and night!

It was like he was possessed or something, as sometimes... even his own men would see him stare outside the window for hours without saying anything.

Only the heavens knew how much he had dreamt of killing the ghostly prince with his sword.

At this point, he had already planned to skin the ghostly prince, dry his skin up and hand it somewhere within his mansion in the near future.

So how did he know that this woman who always had dirt or cinder on her face was someone close to the ghostly prince?

Simple!

Close to 2 years back, his species had reported that the ghostly prince was seen in one city with a 30 something-year-old maid by his side..... whom he didn't allow to do any chores.

That could only mean that the maid was probably his nanny or caregiver whom he truly treasured.

And from there, the spies had drawn several portraits of the woman.... and circulated it amongst themselves.

Of course, one thing they noticed later in, was that this woman would always show up in public with different marks on her face..... but all-in-all, no matter what marks remained or stayed, the one on her left cheek had always remained the same.

So Slytherin and the men had immediately realized that this woman was probably using clay makeup to alter her appearance slightly.

As expected of the people close to the ghostly prince.

And just like that..... rather than hunting for the ghostly prince who was impossible to catch, they had actually diverted their attention to the woman.

And after keeping watch at the gates of Sangria, or any other cities which were also visited by the ghost prince... they had finally caught her on the spot.

Of course, it took them close to 2 years to do so, but so what?

The feeling was almost magical to them, as they truly felt like they were all one step closer to their goal.

Right now... they had already left a message for Williams people to find.

Hehehe..... an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

This time, since this nanny was important to the Ghostly Prince..... then he would make good use of her to torment the bastard.

After capturing him, Slytherin would imprison him first and f*** his nanny's brains out in his presence.

Yes!!

Then he would slice the woman up into pieces and force the bastard to feed on her body and drink her blood.

Ahhh!.... the things that he had planned to do were as long as a Christmas list.

And even though this nanny was old enough to be Slytherin's mother.... so what?

She was still good looking, and truth be told..... whether she was up or not, nothing would give him more pleasure than screwing with his enemy's mind.

After slapping the hell out of mother Mona, Slytherin took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands... as they had been stained with the blood of a lowly nanny.

"It seems like the torture from this past month, has done nothing to quench her fiery spirit.

In that case, why don't we triple the fun then?

Flint!.... Trent!.... Starting from tomorrow, give her the 'Butcher's treatment!"

"Yes, young master!" They replied in unison.

"_"

With that, Slytherin left the dungeon with a wide grin on his face... as he felt like he was very close to catching that damned Ghostly Prince.

And this time, he would screw his nanny just to drive him mad.

Heheheheh.... this way payback for what the Ghostly Prince did to him in Sangria.

'My dear friend, soon... I'll show you what it truly feels like to crush your enemy triumphantly.

So better get ready, because this time..... I will have my revenge.

Hahaha hahaha!'

And so just like that, Slytherin laughed all the way to his chambers.... as if he was crazed.
