Waldo’s fingers tensed, and the cup in his hand almost slipped.
Hughie was completely stunned.
The arrows hadn’t just hit the bullseye. They had pierced through it.
This required not only precision but immense strength. Yet when he watched Yuna earlier, all he’d seen was her casually flicking her sleeve, as if the
hadn’t used any strength at all. He thought he had seen it wrong.
Hughie glanced at Waldo, but Waldo was still staring at Yuna.
Yuna put away her longbow, turned back, and gave Waldo a formal salute. “My lord, that was just a humble display. This little trick is hardly worth mentioning. Twish to join your team, and I naturally have far more to offer. Please grant me the opportunity to demonstrate my abilities.
That day, Waldo took Yuna for a walk in the back mountains.
He brought only Hughie with him. Not even Priscilla was allowed to come along.
Priscilla waited for a long time, and tears welled up in her eyes inexplicably, which she wiped away again and again. It wasn’t until the sun began to set that she finally saw Waldo return.
He looked to be in a very good mood. When he leapt off his horse, he even turned back and gave Yuna a rare smile. “You must be tired from today. Let Priscilla take you back to rest. Tomorrow, I’ll explain more about the team and the details of the Autumn Hunt.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!” Yuna bowed slightly, then turned and quickly walked toward Priscilla without any sign of lingering attachment.
Hughie let out a breath of relief.
He had thought this was yet another woman trying to get close to Waldo, but after spending the whole day together, it seemed Yuna was truly focused on her goal and had no intention of seduction at all.
On the contrary, Waldo seemed slightly pleased as he watched her leave.
“I thought the two sisters were trying to use some tactic to win me back,” Waldo muttered, a trace of amusement in his tone. “But now, it seems l overthought it.”
At that moment, he had no interest in romance. If Yuna was scheming something, he’d drive her out once the Autumn Hunt ended.
He no longer wanted to deal with overly complicated women.
Priscilla brought Yuna back to the Drizzle Pavilion.
After removing her fitted riding outfit, Yuna ordered Eda to bring in a bath and soak leisurely in hot water.
When she came out, she saw Priscilla still sitting in a chair, clearly waiting for her.
“You want to say something?” she asked.
Priscilla’s eyes were red again.
Yuna frowned. Before Priscilla could speak, she cut in impatiently. “This is all you’re capable of? Just sulk and cry? No wonder Prince Waldo didn’t mention you once the entire day.”
“He really… didn’t mention me at all?” Priscilla bit her lip, tears threatening to fall. She was truly heartbroken.
Back in the desert, her father and brother doted on her endlessly. Even though Yuna was formidable, she had never been favored. No matter how strong
Chapter 191
Yuna was, she’d always been a background character in Priscilla’s life.
But today, Priscilla suddenly felt like she was the background character.
That sense of weightlessness made her want to cry the entire day.
She felt wronged, bitter, and resentful, but there was nothing she could do.
Yuna gave her a glance, and her expression turned even more impatient, with a faint trace of disgust,
She snapped, “Do you even know? The person he’s thinking about now is Jessica. I heard him mention her name at least ten times today!”
Priscilla’s heart clenched, on the verge of breaking. “Yuna… is that true? Has he… fallen for Jessica again?”
