Again, Beatrice still loses if she dies lol. She's clearly banking on not dying in this life. If Raeliana is prosecuted or dies from this, Adam or our duke here can easily just off her before they have to face punishment. Yeah maybe they can't escape the country's soldiers, but they could def kill one defenseless girl before they get caught...
I mean really, they took down those monstrous beasts during the hunting competition but the rest of the people in the palace think they can hold them back from killing one girl? Only the knight captain could probably hold them off, and he's all distracted and shit. Plus, his sister died from that stunt Beatrice pulled.
Thanks for the chapter!
