Yuna said, “He still likes your genuine nature. Don’t ever let him see through your true intentions. What he treasures most about you right now is your
purity and honesty. Don’t let that image become tainted in his eyes.”
Yuna narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “Garbisch and Jessica destroyed our family. We will avenge it!”
But right now, they didn’t have the power to take revenge. If they wanted to, they had to rely on Waldo’s influence.
“But, Yuna… once we get our revenge, will still be able to stay with Waldo?” Priscilla asked quietly.
“You’ve really fallen for Waldo?” Yuna frowned.
Priscilla lowered her head, saying nothing.
Yuna explained, “If he still loves you, becoming his consort could benefit our family’s restoration. But if you’re just following him without title or name, what good does that do us?”
“Then I’ll make Waldo marry me and name me his consort!” Priscilla Insisted. Waldo liked her so much. If she asked, he would surely agree.
“Foolish!” Yuna scoffed coldly. “What does he like about you? Isn’t it just that you’re different from all those other women? You don’t crave power or status, only sincerity?”
“Yuna, his love for me goes deeper than that,” Priscilla protested, unconvinced. “You’re not me, you don’t know how good Waldo is to me. I’ll prove it to you. Whatever I want, Waldo will give it to me!”
Yuna replied, “Save it. Waldo and Consort Adele aren’t fools. They know better than anyone who can truly help him. If Waldo is going to marry, the position of consort belongs only to Jessica right now”
“Yuna! You’re not Waldo! How can you speak for him? Only I know what he really thinks!” Priscilla got anxious. When she got anxious, her temper always flared.
She refused to admit she was any less than Jessica.
Jessica might be prettier. But Priscilla believed Waldo was not a shallow man who only cared about looks.
Waldo had said it himself, “Pretty faces are a dime a dozen. It’s a unique soul that’s one in a million.”
Waldo liked her because of who she was.
Yuna saw the firm look in Priscilla’s eyes and was about to say more when sudden footsteps came from outside.
She froze for a moment and said, “I can’t stay long. Cara will wake up soon. Just remember what matters most is keeping Waldo’s heart. As for everything else, don’t worry about it for now.”
Yuna added, “Remember, you’re a woman who ‘wants no fame or fortune, only true love‘. That’s what he’s fallen for. I’ll be leaving Capitalia for a while. Don’t mess things up! You’re different from the rest, you’re one of a kind. Don’t you forget it!”
Before leaving, Yuna gave her little sister one final round of intense brainwashing.
In reality, Priscilla was just a spoiled brat, pampered by her father and brothers.
But if that was exactly what Waldo liked, then so be it. It played perfectly into Yuna’s plans.
After Yuna left, there was a knock at the door. It was the real Cara.
Priscilla was about to respond impatiently, but then remembered her sister’s instructions. She was supposed to be different from all those ordinary women. She should be kind, sincere, and unbound by societal expectations. So just as her face was about to turn cold, she put on a warm smile.

She said, “It’s so late. No need to serve me anymore tonight. Go get some rest! Don’t treat yourself like a servant. There’s no need for such rivi
Cara was immediately touched and responded gratefully, “Yes, I understand. You should rest early, my lady.”
Everyone said Priscilla wasn’t good enough for Waldo. But to Cara, she was the best.
Priscilla never treated her like a servant. Often, she would even invite her to eat

Cara thought Priscilla was a kind mistress, and Waldo should love her.
But the moment Cara stepped out, Priscilla’s smile vanished.
She was tired of keeping up this act, putting on a friendly face for a maid.
She even suspected Yuna’s plan was just a prank.
She was the daughter of Pat Mcbride, a fearsome warlord from the desert. She shouldn’t need
