Chapter 14
You’re giving me the chance to get revenge!” Priscilla scoffed. “What are you up to now? Some new schime?”
I’m giving you depth to her appeara
hance–but only one!” Jessica’s stunning beauty seemed even more striking, with a subtle shits in her angrais
Hergate swept past the others and settled on Garbisch, who had just arrived. “If Priscilla managed to harm me here, regardless of whether I live on no one in the Yates family will hold anyone accountable”
“Impossiblel” Garbisch quickly stepped forward, positioning himself protectively behind Jessica.
He glared fiercely at Waldo. “Prince Waldo, no matter how noble your status, you cannot humiliate Jessica like this! The Yates family has long been known for its military achievements.
“If anything happens to Jessica today and the royal family doesn’t give an explanation, I’ll smash my head and died in the Throne Palace and see how you stop the rumors!”
Priscilla sneered, “You, a defeated general, still date to shout at me?”
“Enough!” This was the first time Garbisch had directly confronted Priscilla after his downfall.
His entire body was stiff with rage, his hand trembling with barely contained fury. He was on the edge of losing control, wishing he could kill Priscilla with
his own hands.
“It doesn’t matter,” Jessica said calmly. “This is my choice. If there are any consequences, they’re mine to deal with, and it has nothing to do with anyone
ck to rest
She looked at Monica. “Take General Garbisch back
“Garbisch!” Jessica’s gaze hardened, and she met Garbisch’s eyes. There was a cold, resolute determination in her eyes that left no room for argument.
“You need to leave now.”
Garbisch had never seen Jessica so cold and commanding. He froze, stunned by her demeanor.
Jessica had always been gentle, kind–he had never seen her so stern.
He was lost in his thoughts for a moment, and by the time he snapped out of it and tried to rush back in to protect her, he was stopped by Waldo’s guards.
Waldo’s expression was complex as he watched Jessica.
He still couldn’t bring himself to believe that she truly wanted to cancel the engagement. Maybe, as Priscilla said, she was simply using this tactic to force him to submit
If he believed that, he would be ashamed of himself as Novigrad’s war god.
“Fine,” Waldo said, his voice turning cold. “If this is what you want, I won’t stop you.” His gaze briefly drifted down to Jessica’s chest, a moment of weakness he couldn’t entirely control.
It was a pity. She was perfect, and d seeing her destroyed like this would be a loss for any man
“You can’t bear to see her like this? Priscilla seethed, her eyes filled with fury
Priscilla thought, “Jessica, you ruined me and are now seducing Waldo. Such a vile bitch. I’ll make you regret.

Chapter 14
Waldo quickly looked away, his expression hardening. “Jessica, this is your choice. I’m not responsible for what happens navi.*.
He thought if giving Priscilla her revenge would end this endless conflict between the tan anmen, perhaps it wouldn’t be the word thing.
But he still had to warn Priscilla. “She’s from the Yates family. I know you like to do things your own way, but you need to know your limit
He thought, ‘At the very least, don’t truly harm Jessica. A wound can heal, but if her lide is taken, it’s over!
Priscilla glared at him, her fury evident, “Gel outf”
Waldo didn’t hesitate. He turned and ordered the servants to close the door to the side hall, keeping everyone outside.
Then he turned to Monica. “Go get a female doctor. Now!”
Monica, still holding onto Garbisch, remained calm and expressionless. “Your Highness, General Garbisch is unwell, and my lady has ordered me to can for him. I can’t leave. Please forgive me!
Waldo’s expression darkened. “Jessica, just wait…”
He paused, looking around at the guards and servants before growling. “Get a female doctor. All the men, out!”
