Chapter 780 You think I wouldn’t?

The guards didn't stop even though Duke Yuletide made that outburst.

They just followed the fourth prince's orders and brought the duke's wife and daughter up onto the stage.

When they saw everyone that was there, the two of them started trembling in fear.

The only one that they could turn to was Duke Yuletide since he was the only one that was on their side. Both of them immediately looked at Duke Yuletide with looks as if they were begging him for help.

Duke Yuletide had a look like he wanted to rip the fourth prince to pieces after seeing the way that his wife and his daughter looked at him.

However, the guards were restraining him and wouldn't let him move at all. So it wasn't as if he could do a single thing physically.

The only thing that he could do was say, "What do you want?"

The fourth prince stopped talking to the crowd and turned to look at Duke Yuletide after he heard this. With a calm smile on his face, the fourth prince said, "I've already told you what I wanted and I've told you not to regret the chance that I gave you earlier."

Duke Yuletide felt a chill run down his spine when he heard this.

Even though the fourth prince was smiling at him, it was more like the smile of a devil more than anything. He didn't know what to say in response to this, but it didn't matter what he would have said.

The fourth prince didn't wait for Duke Yuletide to respond anyway as he turned back to look at the crowd.

He even took a step forward so he was right in front of the crowd as he said, "To punish the duke for the crime of treason that he's committed, we will punish his wife and daughter."

Duke Yuletide immediately felt another chill run down his spine when he heard this.

That was because he could tell that the fourth prince was absolutely serious based on the expression that was on his face. It was as if he didn't care a single bit for what Duke Yuletide said.

The only thing that he cared about were a few certain words from Duke Yuletide.

These would be the words that would not only decide his fate, but also the fate of his wife and daughter.

These were words that would be related to the Snake Syndicate.

After staring at Duke Yuletide with this serious look for a bit, the fourth prince ignored him as he turned back to the crowd with the same smile as before as he said, "Now, since we are a civilized group, we won't give them a serious punishment."

The duke's wife and daughter let out a sigh of relief when they heard this, but it was too early for them to relax.

Duke Yuletide was different since he could hear the sinister undertone that was in the fourth prince's voice.

He knew that the punishment wouldn't be as simple as he made it out to be.

The fourth prince had given a deliberate pause as if he wanted to instill this false hope in the duke's wife and daughter.

However, once they had that look of relief on their faces, he continued by saying, "Their punishment will be simple. They will be locked up in this pillory for seven days in this square."

This did seem like a simple punishment, but everyone was certain that the fourth prince's punishment wouldn't be that simple since they gathered them all here. This seemed like it was just too simple...

The kicker came with what the fourth prince said next.

"They will be left here without any supervision."
