Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 318

Jacob's face remained expressionless as he issued an order to the guards.

"Escort His Highness back to entertain the guests. He is not to leave the estate until tomorrow evening. when the wedding procession begins. If he leaves before then, all the guards will have their salaries docked for three months."

With Jacob's command, the guards all turned their hawk-like eyes to Rafael, forcing him to step back. Slowly, Rafael retreated, getting increasingly further from the entrance. Rafael rolled his eyes. "What are you all trying to do? I just had a bit too much to drink while entertaining the guests. I wanted to go out and get some fresh air to sober up." Jacob gave another order. "Bring a bucket of hangover remedy for the princel"

A whole bucket...?!

Rafael glared at Jacob furiously, but Jacob remained unmoved, his heart as hard as a stone. Even if Rafael looked at him like he wanted to gouge his eyes out, it didn't faze Jacob.

Luke, who had been running around non-stop, came jogging over. Despite the cold weather, he was sweating from all the work and used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Your Highness, can't you just give everyone a break? Who goes running to the bride's house the day before the wedding? People would laugh at you if they heard about it!"

"Fine, whatever. Stop nagging." Rafael waved him off irritably. "I'll go back and have a few more drinks with Davis. That old guy's been here for two meals already, and while everyone else has left, he's still drinking."

"Hey, you can't say that! Keep your voice down. Mr. Lloyd came as a sign of respect," Luke whispered.
