Chapter 779 You, you monster!

Duke Yuletide had an uncertain look on his face after the fourth prince just ignored him.

He knew that the fourth prince was planning something and he had no idea what it was, so he couldn't help feeling more and more worried.

There was the reputation that the fourth prince had and Duke Yuletide knew that his enemies didn't get off easy. So now that the fourth prince had captured him and his family, what would he do?

There was a good fifteen minutes that passed before the spy from before came back.

When he did, he went right over to the fourth prince and saluted to him before saying, "Your highness, it has been prepared."

The fourth prince just gave a simple nod before turning to the guards surrounding Duke Yuletide.

He waved his hand at the guards and said, "Alright, bring him along."

They nodded in agreement before forcing Duke Yuletide to follow the fourth prince.

As he followed, Duke Yuletide had a worried look on his face.

Before this, he had been trying to remain as calm as possible. However, it seemed that he wasn't able to remain calm any longer after everything that the fourth prince said to him.

It seemed like he was finally cracking under the pressure of all of this.

He really wanted to know what the fourth prince had in store for him.

However, the fourth prince had a calm look on his face as he led Duke Yuletide through the streets of Vayne City.

As they walked through the city, there were some people that recognized Duke Yuletide and started to follow the procession. However, they weren't able to approach since the elite guards of the fourth prince kept them away.

Duke Yuletide couldn't help feeling more and more uneasy seeing the number of people that were following them.

However, there were many people that seemed like they were a bit happy to hear this.

It was clear that Duke Yuletide was not a good ruler for this city.

It was only because of the power that their family received at the founding of the kingdom that they even had this power in the first place.

Once the fourth prince waited a bit, he continued by saying, "So before we bring the duke here to the capital to stand trial, we have a little punishment prepared for him. This is a special punishment that I'm giving him with my right as the fourth prince, so I hope that everyone will not mind how small it is."

The fourth prince gave a nod to the guards near the pillory and they opened it up.

Duke Yuletide looked a bit relieved when he heard this since he had already expected this to happen. But he also heard the fourth prince say that he would bring him to the capital for trial, so he knew that the fourth prince wouldn't kill him.

What was a bit of humiliation compared to the chance of survival?

In the end, he would just take this and turn the other cheek.

Or at least that was what Duke Yuletide thought would happen.

However, it wasn't him that was brought over to the pillory.

The guards that were watching over Duke Yuletide just kept him there in place.

Instead, there were some other guards that left the square as if they were going to pick something up.

Duke Yuletide looked confused at first when he saw this as he had no idea what was happening, but the expression on his face quickly changed. The moment that he saw who the guards were bringing in, there was a look of shock and panic on his face.

He looked at them for a bit before turning to the fourth prince to say, "You, you monster! How dare you involve them!"

The reason for this large reaction from him was because the guards had come out with his wife and daughter.
