Richard’s POV:
I stormed back to the palace angrily. I felt as though my chest was about to explode. Damn it! I couldn’t believe that my father actually scolded me in front of Rufus. How humiliating! Rufus must’ve felt so smug now. He probably viewed me as some circus monkey that could be toyed with. How could I have become the laughing stock of the family?
This was all because of that bitch, Lucy! If she hadn’t cheated on me, I wouldn’t have been in this
situation. “Prince Richard, please have some fried pork chop. Lady Lucy cooked it herself.” Just then, a servant approached me with a plate. I was so angry that I yanked the plate out of his hands and dumped its contents on his head. “I had Lucy locked up. Who allowed you to let her out?” The servant was shocked. Black sauce dripped from his head and onto the expensive carpet we were standing on. Trembling, he didn’t dare to clean himself up. “It… it was Lady Lucy who ordered us to open the door.”
“So you just obeyed her? Are you her slave?!” I cursed and kicked him to the floor. “Where is she?”
“She… she’s in the kitchen.”
I left him in the dust and stomped towards the kitchen. There, I found Lucy standing to the side, instructing a maid who was cooking some food in a pot. Thinking about the pork chop, I gritted my teeth angrily. That bitch had the audacity to lie that she had cooked it herself. “Lucy! Who the hell allowed you to come out of the confinement room?” I grabbed her by the wrist and started dragging her away.
Fearful for their lives, the servants didn’t dare to utter a word and simply scurried out like mice.
Lucy stumbled as I yanked her. “Let go of me!”
I glared at her and continued to drag her towards the confinement room.
“Richard!” Lucy opened her mouth wide and bit down on my hand-hard.
