Any Punishment You Desire Is Acceptable

Marcus's heart sank.

He had indeed deceived Lora, pretending to have a rut.

Initially, Marcus had some reservations about the genetically matched marriage, but after they went through that rut at the marriage registration office, his thoughts began to subtly change.

Of course, he still appeared as the cold and aloof Ninth Prince on the surface, indifferent to anyone.

However, upon learning of Lora's divorce request, he was furious and immediately chased after her to her military training base.

Although he didn't want to divorce her, he allowed her to be misunderstood, thinking that his identity as a prince marrying a commoner at this time would be advantageous.

He contemplated it and chose not to explain, letting her misunderstand.

He even threatened her harshly, using the orphanage she cared about the most as leverage.

In truth, Marcus regretted his actions at that time, but he didn't know how to keep her by his side or how to open up his own heart.
