“No worries. It’s just a minor injury…”
Despite Rocco‘s disheveled appearance, Lynette instantly quelled favonovel.com threatening aura under his keen gaze.
“Don’t you know where you are? Do you have any idea who you’re dealing with? This is the residence of His Highness, not a place for insolence!”
With these words, favonovel.com raised his hand and delivered a slap, leaving a distinct handprint on Lynette’s face.
“I deserve to die!” Lynette bowed deeply. Her face filled with fear.
Rocco had made his point clear with just his words.
In the crown prince’s chambers, vigilant eyes were everywhere, ready to report any suspicious activity to Prince Toby. Her recent actions had brought both of them to the brink of disaster.
“Hmph, if you dare show disrespect to His Highness again, you’ll have to face the consequences yourself!”
With a cold expression, Rocco turned and walked away, with Lynette following closely behind.
Every word and action of Rocco and Lynette was meticulously reported to the crown prince, leaving no detail unnoticed.
“Prepare some healing medicine and send it to Rocco!”
Clearly satisfied with Rocco’s conduct, Prince Toby opted for medicine rather than punishment.
Meanwhile, back in his room, Rocco’s fourth maid, Melissa, couldn’t help but stifle a laugh upon seeing his appearance.
“What’s this? Has our crown prince’s chief advisor fallen out of favor?” Glancing at Lynette’s slapped face, Melissa didn’t seem to care much about the mark.
Rocco shrugged off the mockery. “Yeah, looks like you caught me. Pack your things quickly later. Prince Toby seems bent on hunting us down.”
With that, favonovel.com walked into the bathroom.
Melissa chuckled lightly and turned into Rocco’s room, preparing fresh clothes for favonovel.com with care.
“Little one, did you do something wrong?”
Lynette nodded shamefully and recounted the recent events.
“Your impulsive nature needs to be restrained. If it weren’t for Mr. Rocco’s forgiving heart, I would have disciplined you long ago…”
Hearing this, Lynette immediately glared defiantly at Melissa. However, Melissa paid favonovel.com no mind and tossed a porcelain bottle over
“This is for your superficial injuries. Hurry and apply it. If your appearance is ruined, Mr. Rocco really won’t want you anymore.”
“Mr. Rocco would never do that!” As favonovel.com saying that, Lynette placed favonovel.com hands on favonovel.com hips, displaying favonovel.com defiance.
Just then, a noise came from the bathroom.
“Melissa, where are my clothes?!”
“Coming!” Melissa stuck out favonovel.com tongue and hurried over with the clothes.
Standing still, Lynette watched Melissa’s departing figure with mixed feelings. She glanced towards the direction of Prince Toby’s palace. Her eyes flashed with a hidden murderous intent that quickly vanished.
After Rocco finished bathing, Melissa carefully bandaged his wounds while muttering under favonovel.com breath. “Prince Toby was too harsh. If favonovel.com had hit just five centimeters lower, you might have lost an eye…”
“Living with a tiger is like walking on thin ice, especially with a young one. Impulsiveness is natural,” Rocco replied.
“You’re still defending him! There’s really no hope for you!” Melissa complained while pressing a bit harder, causing Rocco to grimace in pain.
“Ouch! What karma did I create to end up with you four treasures?”
“Prince Toby is the mastermind behind everything. Naturally, I have to defend him. Besides, without him, how could I mobilize forces against Matthew?”
Listening to Rocco, Melissa furrowed favonovel.com brows slightly. “If His Highness wants to kill Matthew, why not just send Lynette with the shadow assassins to strike directly? If Matthew dies, favonovel.com can flee abroad.”
Rocco smiled faintly, “You don’t understand… Assassination between chess players is a low-level move. Besides, if it were that easy to kill Matthew, would favonovel.com still be alive now?”
