Chapter 162
When Waldo frore Priscilla, he was already severely injured, and with his internal energy depleted, his strength was lacking.
Just as Hughie asked the question, Priscilla suddenly regained freedom.
She sprang to her feet, fuming. “What’s a commoner like you doing here? Not only can’t you save us, you’ll just drag averyone down! You gave them hope, only to crush it again. That’s even crueler than killing them outright!”
Jessica merely cast her a cool glance, ignored her, and looked up at the sky.
The eastern sky showed the first taint hints of claws Daybreak was near.
Jessica turned to face the brothers. “Wim just one person, so my strength is limited, I can’t tend to all the wounded. My priority must be healing His Highness. You all understand if anything befalls him, none of us will survive.”
Though her voice wasn’t loud, the hush that had fallen over the room ensured everyone heard her.
o’s life was worth more than theirs.
Her words were indeed cutting, but none could deny Waldo’s
If anything happened to Waldo, they were all doomed,
Suddenly, someone cried out softly, “We’ll all follow Ms. Yates!”
The people around immediately chimed in, “Ms. Yates, we’re all with you!”
Voices rose in unison, “All follow Ms. Yates!”
Priscilla spat out, her voice trembling with rage, “All you spineless fools…”
“Priscilla, if you keep spouting nonsense, that Priscilla stumbled back two steps.
don’t blame me for what comes next!” Hughie strode right up to her, his towering frame radiating such menacé
This time, Hughie didn’t give her an inch. He snapped, “If you keep making a scene,
cene. I’ll tie you up
you up and leave you here to fend for yourself!”
Priscilla couldn’t stomach such humiliation. She shot Waldo a furious glare and snapped, “Waldol Just look at how your underling is treating me! You promised me the high life in Capitalia, but what am I actually getting?”
Waldo shut his eyes and fell silent.
He was truly fed up.
Priscilla wasn’t ready to give up yet. She tried to rush forward, but Hughie shoved her back without hesitation
Priscilla glared at him, her eyes flashing with rage. “Don’t you dare touch me! You…”
Hughie raised his hand in warning.
Priscilla immediately backed down, her fiery demeanor vanishing in a blink.
Priscilla thought, Waldo’s too badly hurt and out of it to save me now.”
No matter how willful Priscilla was, she knew when to back down
Without Waldo’s protection, she was nothing here.
Priscilla glared at Hughie, seething. ‘Hugbell won’t let you off that easily!”

Orice we’re back, I’ll make sure he dies!”
Hughie glared daggers at Priscilla until she quieted down. Then, turning to Jessien, he bowed with utmost defarance and asked, “Miss Teles, wh
we do now?”
Priscilla was on the verge of another outburst.
Priscilla fumed inwardly, “That bastard! He treats me like dirt, but turns into a groveling lapdog for Jessical
Just wait, I’ll make sure Waldo kills himl
Jessica glanced at the sky once more, then looked down at Waldo.
Waldo had lost consciousness.
Jessica looked away and said calmly, ‘Find a way to get a stretcher. I’ll lead you all out of here.”
“You think you can lead everyone out?” Priscilla scoffed disdainfully. “Do you have any idea how many bandits are out there? V you are, thinking you can lead us to safety?”
Who the hell do you think
Priscilla scoffed inwardly. If even Waldo and I couldn’t pull it off, how could some sheltered noblewoman who slept her way to the top possibly manage? What a joke!”
Jessica cast Priscilla a cold, mocking smile and sneered, “Fine. Since you’re so incredibly brave, as long as you’re willing to lead the charge, I’m sure I can get everyone out safely.”
Priscilla’s face suddenly changed. “What did you say? Are you trying to get me killed? You evil woman! How vicious you
are!”
