Chapter 770 It isn’t over yet!
The way that Duke Yuletide was acting was as if he was treating all of this as some kind of accident.
It was as if he was trying to sweep everything under the rug.
He went even further with this as he pointed at me and said, “Your highness, I found that this is all the tricks of this fugitive. Please hand him over to me so I can punish him for the things that he’s done to my men.”
He didn’t even hesitate to throw me under the bus, while also trying to get me back so he could continue with what he was about to do.
But the fourth prince just shook his head with a helpless smile before saying, “Do you still not get it?”
Duke Yuletide trembled when he heard this, but he still said with a fake confused look, “Your highness, what do you mean? Isn’t this the criminal that you were looking for? What is there to understand?”
The fourth prince gave a shrug before ignoring Duke Yuletide and saying to his elite guards, “Kill them all, there’s no need to spare a single one.”
Duke Yuletide trembled even more when he heard this before saying, “Your highness, what is the meaning of this? My family has dutifully served the kingdom for many generations and this is how the kingdom repays us?”
At this, the fourth prince revealed a smile as he looked at Duke Yuletide.
Duke Yuletide couldn’t understand what was happening, but he knew that this smile wasn’t a good smile.
It was like the smile of the devil as it was aimed at him.
The fourth prince just looked at Duke Yuletide like this for a while, but during this time, the sounds of people being slaughtered didn’t stop. During all of this, Duke Yuletide’s men were being cut down by the fourth prince’s elite guards
Duke Yuletide couldn’t take this anymore, so he roared, “Answer me!”
The fourth prince gave a shrug and spread his hands to the side as he said, “Don’t you already have an answer in your heart?”
Duke Yuletide’s face turned very ugly when he heard this, but he didn’t lose faith as he said, “Do you think that the people of the kingdom will accept this? You’re turning the nobles against you like this!”
Though he said this, Duke Yuletide’s eyes were moving around.
It was as if he was looking for some way to escape this place.
The fourth prince didn’t mind this as he said with a serious look, “Do you really take me for a fool? Do you think that I don’t know anything?”
Duke Yuletide revealed another confused look when he heard this.
The fourth prince just continued by saying, “The Snake Syndicate, did you really think that we didn’t know a single thing about what you’ve been doing?”
Shock filled Duke Yuletide’s face the moment that he heard this.
He opened and closed his mouth a few times before suddenly revealing a bitter smile and asking, “How did you know about this?”
The fourth prince turned to me and said, “Didn’t you already reveal everything to him?”
Duke Yuletide immediately narrowed his eyes to look at me after hearing this before saying, “You? You betrayed me to save yourself?”
I shook my head with a faint smile before saying, “Betray? You say that like I was working with you all along.”
“Ha, what else could it be considered if not that? You were going to betray the royal family just for your…” Duke Yuletide’s words trailed off as he slowly turned to look at the fourth prince.
It was as if the pieces of the puzzle were fitting into place and he was slowly realizing something as he looked at the fourth prince.
Then in a slow voice, he said, “From the very beginning?”
The fourth prince just gave a simple nod as he said, “Did you really think that he was our prisoner at all? Why would we suddenly have a falling out now after everything that’s happened?”
“But the Wyvern Stone…” Duke Yuletide said in a voice filled with disbelief.
The fourth prince took out the ‘Wyvern Stone’ and then dropped it onto the ground before having the horse crush it with its hoof.
The Wyvern Stone was crushed to dust, but the wyverns overhead were still acting the same way.
It was clear that crushing this stone had no effect on them.
So from the very beginning, the Wyvern Stone didn’t exist.
When it was put this clearly, it was impossible for Duke Yuletide to delude himself any longer.
It was clear what the situation was.All of a sudden, Duke Yuletide suddenly broke out into laughter before saying, “So you’ve been planning this all along? When did you find out?”
I just calmly said, “Last time when we came during the war. Did you really think that we wouldn’t notice your treachery? Did you think that we didn’t know about the Yuletide Family’s intentions to rebel?”
Duke Yuletide’s face twisted when he heard this.
He looked at me with a look that was filled with hatred, as if he wanted to rip me to pieces.
But I just looked calmly right into his eyes, as if I wasn’t bothered by this at all.
Finally, Duke Yuletide’s expression relaxed, but that wasn’t a good thing.
After all, if he were to feel relaxed at this moment, it could only mean that he still had a trump care that he felt that he could rely on.
The fourth prince also noticed this, so he said, “Guards, protect us!”
The elite guards suddenly moved in between us and Duke Yuletide while raising their guards.
There was a reason why they were the fourth prince’s elite guards.
But Duke Yuletide didn’t seem to care as he reached into his breast pocket to pull out a dark stone.
He raised this stone up above him before saying, “It isn’t over yet! You haven’t won yet!”
