His tone dripped with sarcasm. "How can she faint after a mere twenty lashes? I wonder how Serenity endured all fifty lashes back then" His words seemed laced with anger.
He had his subordinates investigate what Eliza had experienced in the Duke's estate all these years. They found out a lot, but they couldn't find out the source of the injuries on her back that he saw outside the imperial study on the day he first met her, And today, he finally understood that all those scars were from her own family.

He thought, 'No wonder there was always a hint of sadness in her eyes. With a family like that, I wonder how much she has suffered in the Duke's estate.
Nolan looked back at Eliza with heartache.
As if sensing something, Eliza looked up at him, and as if she had seen through what he was thinking, she raised the corners of her lips and gave him a comforting smile.
Nolan's words successfully stopped Gabriel's intention to delay the matter. "Bringa bucket of water and splash Lady Sophie awake." Benedict silently lowered Sophie, whom he had helped up.
Sophie felt speechless.
Seeing that the servant had really gone to fetch a bucket of water, Sophie, who had been lying on the ground for a long twithout moving, quickly pretended to have just regained consciousness and slowly opened her eyes.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Benedict hated Sophie.
Sophie cursed Benedict in her heart.
She thought, 'Crazy! Idiot! Jerk!'
Sophie wanted to split open Benedict's head and see what was wrong with him. She thought, 'What did he mean by ending my pain quickly? 'Is this how he ends my pain?'
With this move, Sophie didn't even have a chance, and she endured fifty lashes. In the end, she collapsed to the ground, covered in blood.
