THE WASTED PRINCE AND PRINCESS
Punishment

The day keeps changing. It didn't feel like two years had passed for Liona and Han. They both seem to be getting bigger. They were separated when they began to grow up as teenagers. Liona was busy learning to make potions with the court healers, while Han was practicing war.

Seven years old is still very young to jump into battle. But it didn't seem to apply to Han. As crown prince, he should be educated like a formidable warrior. Han often received punishment. His childhood was neglected because of the order of the king who wanted him to immediately train for battle. I don't want Han to obey him.

Training is not easy. Han had to pass through various terrifying obstacles. Jumping from a height even dropped the opponent over the piranha pool. Han went through difficult times in his early age. He felt that his father no longer loved him.

"That's not all trudging! What are you going to be?!"

The king looked angry when Han could not be proficient in fighting in a fast time. The king whipped Han with a whip made of rough rattan. Han's in pain. But he endured the pain so as not to be viewed weakly by his father. The king continued to beat him. The sentencing chamber bears witness to how dark the royal environment is.

"My husband, what are you doing?!"

The queen came hastily into the punishment room. Of course the queen could not bear to see Han being beaten by her father. He kept the king from beating Han. But the king looked merciless.

"See your teaching results! This weak kid can't even fight fast! Not like Liona who is smart at concocting drugs. I'm ashamed to have a child like her!" The king compared Han and Liona.

At that moment Han swallowed the bitterness of life. His body was already in pain from the lash. Now his heart also hurt because the father compared him to Liona. Han felt that his father loved Liona more than he would inherit the throne.

"My husband. Every child is different. Don't be too hard on Han." The queen calms the king.

"Keep behaving like this. The government will no longer have any successor. All will perish because of weak successor candidates." The king did not heed the advice of the queen. He wanted to whip Han again.

"Dad, no!"

"Liona?"

At that time the king did not hit Han. Han was still kneeling in his place. It's not moving at all.

"Dad, don't hit Han again. He has received too much punishment. I should give him a chance to learn." Liona.

Han grieved in his heart. He felt that Liona was only pretending to want to help him.

Basic sycophant. You pretended to be nice in front of me.

Han assumes that Liona is only pretending to defend him. Because Han knows that his father loves Liona more than he does. Han also started to dislike Liona. He even hoped that Liona would no longer be in the palace. Han wants to get his father's love.

"Han has embarrassed me, Liona. He must accept punishment in order to rethink his actions. She's humiliating. He played too much. So let me punish him."

The king stared intently at Han who was still sitting on his knees. He also wants to lift his whip. Han seemed to accept it. He closed his eyes.

"Thank you, Naughty Boy!" The king lifted his lash.

"Dad! No!"

However, just then Liona blocked him. He put up his body to protect Han from the lash. Liona was also hit by the lash of the king.
