Doug took his seat, his sharp gaze sweeping over holde before he lazily spoke, “So this is the King’s personally titled County Princess? Hmm, she looks decent enough So Murderer, is she?”

Isolde stared at him, and in an instant, her eyes misted over, her nose stinging with an unbearable ache. Her voice came out heavy with suppressed emotion. “Mr. Becker, I did not kill anyone

Before Doug could respond, Samiyah, who had been gloating over Isolde’s imminent downfall, suddenly crupted in fury. “Stop pretending to be pitifull You vile little whore! If not for you, would my Eleanor be in this state? And now you dare act innocent? I’ll rip your filthy mouth apart!“

Dong let out two sharp clicks of his tongue, his face darkening. His voice took on a mocking, sharp tone, “And here I was wondering who this loudmouthed old cow was Turns out it’s Milton’s wife. His gaze sharpened.

“Has the County Princess been convicted yet? No? Then who gave you the right to tear her mouth apart? I’m still alive, you know,”

His voice grew even colder as he sneered, “As for thore–who exactly are you talking about: I may have en away from Argentum for a while, but even I know your precious daughter was carrying William’s child our of wedlock. And yet you stand here–shamelessly–calling someone else a whore? Laughable.”

Doug’s words landed like a slap, and Milton and Samiyah’s faces turned ashen. Moments ago, they had been wondering why Doug had suddenly appeared. But now, hearing the undisguised sarcasm in his voice, it became clear–he was here for Isolde.

Milton, though unwilling to offend Doug, also wasn’t ready to let Isolde go so easily. Forcing a stiff smile, he cupped his hands and said, “Samiyah spoke out of turn. Please forgive her. But, County Princess harmed my daughter–her guilt is irrefutable. There is no room for denial. Since you rarely visit, why don’t I personally show you around the estate?”

A clear attempt to get Doug out of the way,

Doug’s gaze turned sharp. He pressed a hand down slightly, his mocking expression deepening. “Isn’t this estate the one left for the County Princess by Mrs. Prunella Langley? If anyone should be showing me around, wouldn’t it be her?”

Milton’s forced smile didn’t falter. “I’m afraid the County Princess won’t be able to accompany you.”

He turned to Tyler, his tone carrying an implicit threat. “Tyler, wouldn’t you say so?”
