Prudence quickly grasped Priscilla’s arm and sighed, trying to hold back her emotions. Looking at Natasha with a shaky voice, she said, “You must have mistaken someone else. Braden is dead, burned beyond recognition. The body was examined by the authorities, and there’s no doubt about it?

Priscilla’s mind began to race. So this is Natasha’s game–she’s trying to provoke us. She felt a coldness stir within her. She must suspect something, so she’s trying to test us. But Prudence is composed. I’ll play along.

Natasha paused for a moment, before standing up and bowing slightly with an apologetic smile. “Oh, is that so? I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve been unwell these past few days, and with all the worry about Isolde, I hadn’t heard this news. It seems I must’ve mistaken someone else for Braden. When that man was captured. he was introduced as Braden. I didn’t know him personally, so I assumed it was him. I even brought him here today… he’s still outside.”

Priscilla’s eyes narrowed, seeing right through Natasha’s feigned remorse. She’s testing us–this is deliberate.

Taking the bait, Priscilla sneered sharply. “If it’s just a thief, shouldn’t you send him straight to the authorities? A burglar daring to break into a house right under the King’s nose? The punishment for that is severe–first, a few dozen lashes, then to the magistrates.”

Natasha nodded solemnly. “You’re right. Thieves and lowlifes like that deserve nothing but punishment.”

She turned to one of her maids and ordered, “Take him outside, give him thirty lashes, then deliver him to the authorities.”

“Understood,” the maid replied, hurrying to carry out the command.

The sound of the whips cracking and the agonizing screams echoed from outside.

Vance, who had been standing in silence, quietly slipped out to see what was going on. He returned with a pale face and whispered something urgently into Prudence’s car. Her complexion drained of color as her lips trembled. Eyes wide with horror, she turned to glare at Natasha.
