At this life and death moment, she was still hung up on such i

still remembered their first meeting Even at a prisoner.
But now, she was still fearless, yet that once–admired pride of hers now seemed nothing but sheer folly.
“Ms. Yates…” a soldier suddenly croaked out.
Priscilla snapped, “I told you, don’t you dare mention that bitch’s name again! If anyone dares bring her up one more time, I swear I’ll—”
“It’s Ms. Yates! It really is Ms. Yates a soldier cried out, his voice trembling with excitement.
“It’s real!” the soldiers exclaimed.
“Ms. Yates is really here to save us a soldier cried out in disbelief.
The soldiers craned their necks as one, searching the inky blackness overhead for any sign of Jessica.
Waldo and Priscilla instinctively looked up as well, their eyes searching the night sky along with the others.
But against all odds, Jessica actually came
With Jessica was another person, her little maid, Monica
“How is this possible? It must be an illusion!” Waldo rasped.
But his gaze remained locked on that silhouette against the night sky, utterly transfixed.
“it’s fake! All of it is fake Wake up, your fools. Can’t you see it’s just an illusion? Priscilla shricked, stamping her feet in fury
Seeing everyone still gazing up at Jessica, Priscilla flew into a rage. She rushed to a nearby archer, snatched his bow, and loosed an arrow into the sky
A sudden gust swept through, scattering the mist.
Jessica and Monica vanished from sight.
ugh, it was just an illusion.
Sure enough,
But just moments ago, it had all seemed so real Jessica and Monica were moving through the rocks, almost close enough to reach out and touch.
It was as if they were reflected before them, like images in a mirror.
The men frantically scanned their surroundings, but thick swirling mists obscured everything from view.
Priscilla shrieked, “She’s not coming to save you! She’s probably rolling in some man’s bed right now. And you idiots still believe
her? Pathetic
Priscilla was practically sobbing with fury.
Everyone’s praying for Jessica to come save them. Everyone’s obsessed with her. She couldn’t accept how much Jessica meant to all these people

“I can’t take this anymore!”

The thought of any woman outshining her drove Priscilla mad.
Priscilla seethed inwardly, Tim’the best. No one else even comes close!”
“Fine! Since you’re all so terrified, I’ll carve out a path to survival for your Priscilla declared. “Listen up. Only I can save you! Only
tonto its back, and, to everyone’s surprise, charged off at full gallop in some direction.
Priscilla grabbed a nearby horse, leapt on
“Priscillal” Waldo called out urgently..
Though Waldo was imitated with her now, she was the woman he had once thosen.
In this vast sea of humanity, it was rate and precious to have love at first sight.
Deep down, he couldn’t bring himself to admit that he’d made the wrong choice back then.
Waldo leapt up and raced after her.
Alarmed, Hughie scrambled to follow. But with one on horseback and the other darting ahead, he could not possibly catch up.
By the time Hughie managed to find another horse and set off in pursuit, Waldo and Priscilla had already vanished without a trace.
“Your Highness!” The soldiers were utterly terrified.
Though they loathed Priscilla with every fiber of their being, their loyalty to Waldo remained absolute.
Rebel ambushers were lying in wait outside. It Priscilla rushed out and died, it would be fine. But if anything happened to Waldo, none of them would make it out alive.
