Chapter 762 Find him!

Chapter 762 Find him!

Naturally, this escape wasn't missed by those that were inside the manor.

An hour later, the fourth prince found out that the prisoner was missing and he flew into a rage.

"How could you let him escape?" The fourth prince said as he pointed his finger in Duke Yuletide's face.

Duke Yuletide his head down as he said, "I'm sorry, your highness. I never expected him to suddenly make a break for it. I'll be sure to punish the guards that let this happen."

Though he said this, it was clear that he wasn't actually planning on doing anything like that.

The fourth prince narrowed his eyes to look at Duke Yuletide before saying, "I don't care what you have to do, find him! I'll give you three days to find him or else you should know what will happen."

Duke Yuletide slightly knitted his brows when he heard this, but he still gave a nod in the end.

After all, there was no denying that this was his fault.

The fourth prince just looked at him for a bit longer before turning around to head back inside.

Duke Yuletide was surprised to see this so he asked, "Your highness, where are you going?"

The fourth prince stopped and looked at Duke Yuletide to say, "Where else would I be going? I'm going back to enjoy myself."

Duke Yuletide was even more surprised when he heard this, but he didn't let that surprise show on his face. After a moment of silence, he said, "Then please enjoy yourself, your highness."

The fourth prince gave a nod before heading in without turning back once.

When Duke Yuletide was left alone there, there was someone that came up to him.

This was the captain of the guards that had been in charge of watching over the cage.

When he came over, he bowed his head and asked, "My lord, what should we do now?"

Duke Yuletide didn't answer this question as he turned to pat this captain on the shoulder before saying with a smile, "Good job. You can leave the rest to me."

Then with a satisfied nod to what seemed to be himself, Duke Yuletide said, "Go cut off the head of the captain of the guard and present it to the fourth prince."

The dark clothed figure just simply gave a nod before standing up to leave.

This dark clothed figure wasn't surprised at all by the cruelty that Duke Yuletide was demonstrating since he was already used to it.

Once the dark clothed figure left, Duke Yuletide stroked his chin again for a bit before saying, "Now that all the pieces are in my hands, it's all about how I play them. With this, I should be able to accomplish the generations long wish of my family."

A smile slowly appeared on his face as he said this.

If there was anyone there to see that smile, they would have been shocked.

This was different from the friendly smile that Duke Yuletide normally had on his face.

This was the smile that a villain would have.

No, it was even beyond that.

This was the smile that a psychopath would have.

This was just the pressure that came from generations of expectations placed on him, causing him to be pushed to the brink.

But it was all about to end with this.

...

When the blindfold was removed from my eyes, I found that I was in a luxurious room.

This was clearly a room that was designed to show off wealth and provide comfort, but the problem was...

Where was this?

"My lord, if you please, we have prepared a bath for you."

I was surprised by this voice that suddenly rang out.
