Lord Hamel remained silent as he contemplated.
But one of them refused to keep worrying only about the Household. She chose to solely care about Eugene.
[I've stopped fighting since I'm just a second wife and the more I talk back, the more she targets Eugene.
I have allowed her to do as she pleases to me as long as she won't have my son hurt or killed.
I've done my best holding on all these years for this family.
But what is it all for if my son dies in the end?]
"Please have mercy on my son. I know he had committed crimes. But it's because I didn't raise him well. Please, don't execute him," Eugene's mother said. She kneeled and bowed deeply.
[He is still his son. Can't he at least look out for him too even if just in front of others?]
Eugene's mother glanced at Lord Hamel with a begging look, pleading with him to at least ask for their son's life to be spared even if he was imprisoned.
"..." Lord Hamel was speechless as he thought about what he should do.
