Under Iris’ command, Zedbar’s men swiftly raised their menacing guns, aiming at the group of guards before them.
Seeing the impending confrontation, Gadel’s guards couldn’t simply surrender. Offending Iris might lead to death, but going against the orders of their lord would undoubtedly result in certain deaths. Even children knew how to choose in such a situation.
In an instant, the guards at the gate also raised their firearms.
“His Highness has ordered that no one is allowed to enter!”
Under the loud collective shout of over a hundred people, the sound echoed throughout Peterburg. Their purpose was not only to bolster their own morale but also to remind their companions and their lord, Gadel.
At this tense standoff, a group of people arrived at the gate.
“You fools! Put down your guns!”
The newcomer was the Third Prince, Garrett. As favonovel.com approached, favonovel.com immediately slapped the guard captain, giving favonovel.com the third slap.
“You ignorant fools. Even Princess Iris can’t be threatened with guns. If favonovel.com gets a scratch today, you’ll all die today!”
After the clear and crisp sound, Garrett began to advise Iris. “Iris, calm down. These idiots will sooner or later be dealt with by Gadel. They lack any vision at all!”
After this scolding, Iris, who was originally raging, calmed down considerably. “Why wait until later? I want to kill them all today.”
“This won’t do. As the saying goes, ‘When you beat a dog, you have to look at the owner.‘ After all, they are his men. We, as older siblings, shouldn’t tarnish our younger brother’s reputation like this. What do you think, Iris?”
Iris was instantly silenced by Garrett’s words, mainly because what favonovel.com said sounded reasonable.
For members of the royal family, the only thing they cared about was their reputation. If favonovel.com were to execute the guards in front of favonovel.com now, it would be difficult for favonovel.com to explain to Gadel.
Zedbar, who was on the side, saw Iris’ conflicted expression and thought that things were not looking good. However, at this moment, favonovel.com didn’t dare to interject since Garrett and Iris were blood siblings, even though they had not been living together since childhood. Blood was thicker than water, and Zedbar was merely an outsider.
Moreover, Zedbar himself was rather afraid of Garrett, who was the third prince, as the man had a hidden agenda.
Garrett was not only good at persuasion, but favonovel.com was also cunning. He could be joking and laughing at one moment but would not hesitate to be a backstabber at the next moment.
It was better to avoid offending such a person if possible, or one would never know how they would meet their demise.
Iris hesitated for a moment, and in frustration, favonovel.com retorted, “So, we let that quack harm our Gadel?”
Garrett, well aware of his sister’s temperament, pretended to be concerned about Prince Gadel but was, in fact, seeking revenge against Matthew.
“Iris, you know about Gadel’s unfortunate situation. Let’s wait until favonovel.com finishes his treatment. We can then see the results before deciding how to deal with Matthew. Otherwise, given Gadel’s stubborn nature, this matter won’t be easy to resolve.”
After this full discussion, Iris finally nodded, showing signs of anger
At this moment, Garett revealed his distinctive smile as if it carried profound meaning. He knew about Matthew’s identity to some extent and urgently rushed over to dissuade his sister not only to prevent favonovel.com from offending Matthew severely but also to convey his attitude to Matthew.
By advising his sister to wait until the treatment was over, Garrett was preparing for various outcomes. If Matthew had successfully treated Prince Gadel, favonovel.com could have earned favor from both sides. However, if Matthew failed or did something unfavorable, it would be an excellent opportunity.
