After hearing about the so-called "assistant's" identity, Joshua felt a sudden tingling at the scalp, even experiencing a strange phantom pain on his face.
If one were to find the person Prince Freckles feared most in the entire Kingdom, no one would dare claim the first place if his cheap brother-in-law declared himself the second.
After all, even if he committed some absurdities that angered the old King, at most he'd be scolded and put in detention for a few days. If there was a plea from the Queen, even the detention might be waived.
But if he pissed off that cheap brother-in-law, he really would get slapped hard enough to faint, and even be slapped awake again, treated for his injuries, and then slapped until that man's anger subsided.
What's more despairing is that after being slapped, the other party wouldn't face any punishment whatsoever.
Touching his face, which had been slapped several times, Joshua couldn't help but feel a deep sense of helplessness in his eyes.
