The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

A hellhole prison was located near the border of Salleria.

It was built hundreds of floors underground, and just like a ghastly beast with a huge mouth, it wanted to swallow everything around it.

The prison was deprived of light all year round.

It was dim and damp.

Furthermore, as one went further down, the surroundings became darker and colder.

When they finally reached the deepest end, they were greeted with intense cold and pitch-black darkness.

Even if a candle was lit, it would only be a faint gleam.

The darkness emitted a sense of despair as if it would swallow a person whole at any time.

At that moment, a shrill but subtle noise echoed intermittently along the dark corridor, coming from the deepest end of the hellhole prison.

It sounded like a banshee’s wail, so mournful that it made one‘s hair stand on end.

“Obeying God’s order… The emperor issued an imperial edict…”

“His Imperial Majesty crowned an heir to the seat.

To celebrate, he’s granting total amnesty…”

“The prisoner, Nirina Montgomery… Will restore his status as a prince… Travel to Astren… Marriage of convenience…”

”Embark on the journey tomorrow…”

“These are the words of the emperor…”

After reading the imperial edict, the eunuch arrogantly looked at the young man, whose arms were hung by iron chains.

Then, he smirked.

“Congratulations, Your Royal Highness.

You should’ve been sentenced to death for conspiring against the monarch, yet you‘re pardoned a year later.

I’m envious of your great luck…”

Even though he addressed Nirina as Your Royal Highness, by congratulating him and saying he was envious of him, a fool could tell how cynical his tone was.

“Oh? Is that so?” In the dark, Nirina Montgomery lowered his head.

His long hair fell on his sides and covered his cheeks.

No one could see his expression, but that did not stop him from questioning,” Eunuch Fischer, don’t you know well why I’d commit treason?”

Morris Fischer was the eunuch in question, and when he heard Nirina’s words, his face immediately fell.

Then, as if there were ants in his pants, Morris was startled and shouted, “What are you talking about? Shut up!”

Then, he hurriedly glanced at the jailers and imperial guards who followed him, afraid that they would pick up any clues.

Nirina sniggered, and he calmly said, “I entered the first stage of the True Martial Realm when I was six at Blue Mountain, where I bare-handedly killed packs of twenty six wolves, protecting the safety of the people.
