Hughie said coldly, “You female assassins… Did you come here to seduce the princes? All that pretentious aloofness of yours to catch their attention?« Waldo was visibly repulsed after hearing Hughie’s question. He couldn’t believe how foolish he was.
As soon as Hughie finished speaking, Waldo gave a bone–chilling gaze. Seeing this, Hughie sighed helplessly. He felt his delivery had hit a sore spot.
Leon, with sharp discernment, instantly saw through his assassin’s scheme. Without a moment’s hesitation, he had her captured and executed on the spot, showing no mercy.
But Waldo was completely deceived by his assassin. Not only did he fall for her trap, but it also cost him his love life. Waldo had made a fool out of himself.
‘Damn these shameless, despicable women!‘ Hughie thought angrily.
“Spit it out! Who taught you these tricks to bewitch His Highness?” Hughie strode forward, hesitated briefly, then stomped on Priscilla’s hand.
There was no need for any sympathy when it comes to criminals with evil intentions. “Talk now, or we’ll start your torture!”
Priscilla screamed, “It hurts, it hurts!”
After several agonized screams, Priscilla finally broke down in tears. “It was Yuna, my older sister, who taught me. She said to get revenge on Jessica and Garbisch. We had to steal her man first, then destroy the Yates family.”
Hearing this, Waldo’s fists clenched tighter and tighter. His face went deathly pale, and his knuckles were cracking from how tightly they clenched.
Priscilla, panicked and desperate, her voice hoarse as she choked, “But, but I never thought I’d fall for you, Waldo. I mean it, I truly love you. I want to spend my whole life with you, Waldo. Please…”
“Lock her up in the dungeon. No one sees her without my command.” Waldo gritted out.
“Yes, Your Highness!” Hughie immediately grabbed Priscilla and dragged her away.
Priscilla kept screaming through her tears, “Waldo, my feelings for you are real. You promised to love me forever, to love only me for life. You said that, Waldo. You promised!”
Instead of earning Waldo’s pity, her voice only fueled his resentment. But at that moment, the person Waldo hated most was himself.
Waldo was too superficial. No wonder he fell right into the McBride sisters‘ trap. In contrast, Leon could see through it all.
‘How could I become so foolish that I couldn’t even tell right from wrong?‘ Waldo thought bitterly. ‘With Leon making such a spectacle this time, does Jessica now believe even more that I’m just not as good as him?
“Does she like Leon more now?‘ Waldo was desperate.
He took a deep breath, teeth clenched. “Search every corner. Find Yuna at all costs!”
Jessica made her way through Harmony Palace. The first person she chose to visit was Consort Adele.
Upon seeing Jessica, Adele couldn’t even feign/politeness; not a single courteous word escaped her lips. She snapped, “You’ve done this to my son, a you still dare show your face before me? Or are you just here to gloat?”
Jessica remained composed. “Your Highness, what exactly am I supposed to find amusing here?”
Back then, even if Adele disliked Jessica personally, she still valued her political acumen and strategic brilliance. But at that moment, whenever Adele

Witnessed Jessica effortlessly maintaining control, she was consumed by hatred so deep it seardd her very bones.”
“My son is beyond hope. Isn’t this exactly what you wanted to see, you vile woman? Poor Waldo was gauled by wolves while trying to save you turned your back on his sacrifice. Even after learning he was crippled, you couldn’t be bothered to visit himl
Adele spat, “You vile, heartless wretch. You’ll get what’s
coming to you!”
