“I’m the one who hit her, What does it have to do with Jessica?” Elsie stepped forward. She couldn’t stand anyone bullying the Yates strings,
Waldo glared at her, his gaze icy and oppressive.
The sheer forre of his inner strength, combined with that piercing gaze, sent a wave of pressure surging through Priscilla’s chest.
Her footing faltered, and she stumbled back a few steps.
Behind her, someone stepped forward and gently steadied her.
But as soon as she regained her balance, the person let go, keeping a respectful distance.
“General Garbisch…” Elsie was stummed.
She had just struck him today, yet not only did he bear no grudge, he even stepped in at her moment of danger and shielded her behind him.
Indeed, Garbisch positioned himself protectively in front of her, warding off Waldo’s threatening pressure.
Waldo hadn’t truly intended to hurt anyone. Even in his fury, he hadn’t lost his reason,
Elsie was Askar’s seventh princess. If he harmed her, it could fracture the peace between the two nations.
Seeing him hesitate, Priscilla grew both anxious and indignant. “She hurt me, Waldo! Kill hert Avenge me!

“Priscilla tried to harm Jessica first. Princess Elsie was only trying to protect her,” Garbisch said firmly.
Garbisch never lied, but he believed in these words. So, they didn’t count as a lie.
Jessica looked at Garbisch, emotions swelling in her chest. He had always shielded her like this.
It wasn’t favoritism. It was absolute trust.
Elsie also stepped out from behind Garbisch, glaring at Priscilla. “That’s right! This savage woman tried to harm Jessica, and I was just settling the score

“Lies! It was clearly… it was Jessica who hurt me!” Priscilla trembled with rage.
She raised her chin, showing the scratch marks on her neck. “Waldo, look! These wounds are made by Jessica’s people! She planted assassins around the area and had them attack me
Everyone’s expressions shifted slightly.
Then, someone chuckled coldly. “So this hunting ground has hidden experts now? Waldo, this area is under your jurisdiction. You let dangerous people slip in unnoticed. How do you plan to explain that to the King?“.
“…” Waldo’s face darkened.
This was the southern wing of the hunting ground. It was his territory. He’d summoned Garbisch here today, planning to send him

So, the calm of assassina in hiding was just honsende,
Pracilia grew desperate. “Waldol Why don’t you believe me? There were hidden guards. Just like… just like that nightr
In truth, Waldo still didn’t know exactly what had happened that night in the side hall, between Priscilla and Jessica,
All he knew was that Priscilla ended up injured.
After that incident, he had the Yates family manor watched closely, but never found ever a trace of s
In fact, he had started to wonder il Priscilla had staged the whole thing.
But Priscilla was so simple and forthright. He thought she couldn’t plot something like that
secret guards.
And now, she again claimed there were hidden guards, But he’d just personally swept this entire area.
If someone could sneak in and hide even from Waldo’s senses, then it was a humiliation to his skill.
He said, “Priscilla, stop… talking nonsense
Priscilla was stunned. Her chest heaved violently, eyes wide with disbelief. “You don’t believe me? Waldo, you’d rather believe them than believe me?”
