W-What did I just hear? Did he just say he would have me executed in Prudent Hall? Does he not know who I am?

With that in mind, Yvette protested, “I-I'm the only daughter of Leo Sullivan, the former leader of Tarragon!”

The leader ignored her and continued fiddling with the communication device as he added, “Prolong the execution process as much as possible. I want you to use all the torture devices available in Prudent Hall. Failure to do so will be treated as a sign of incompetence, and I have no use for incompetent people. My pet crocodiles should be hungry by now, so this would be a perfect time to feed them.”

Yvette was as white as a sheet when she heard that, and a clear liquid slowly flowed out from beneath her.

“No, I don't want to die! I didn't do anything wrong! Why would you torture me to death?” she protested desperately.

Daniel stepped forward and reminded her, “Leader isn't talking about you, Your Royal Highness. He's referring to the traitors that we have captured at headquarters.”

At that moment, Yvette had never felt more relieved in her entire life.

As a pungent smell began to fill the air, the leader clicked his tongue in disgust and got up from his chair.

“Let's talk somewhere else. It stinks in here,” he said while walking toward the door.

Holden flashed Micah a taunting smile in response.


Hah! Take a good long look at this fiancée of yours, Micah! She tried to seduce the leader right in front of you and ended up embarrassing herself!

There was a vicious glint in Micah's eyes as he pursed his lips and yelled, “Get out, all of you!”

Everyone quickly backed out of the hall to give Micah and Yvette some privacy.

“P-Please don't get the wrong idea, Micah! I-I was just trying to serve our leader some tea!” Yvette stammered in a trembling voice.

Micah narrowed his eyes and glared coldly at her as he said, “Being the princess doesn't give you the right to act as you please. Your father didn't raise our leader, so he doesn't owe the Sullivan family anything. If you offend him, he will not hesitate to have you killed. Do you understand?”

Yvette shuddered in fear when she heard that. “If you don't want to see me offend him and end up getting killed, then hurry up and marry me! If you do that, I promise I'll behave myself and remain at headquarters! I won't mess with anyone ever again!”

“No.” Micah shook his head without any hesitation whatsoever. “I will never marry you. There are lots of men out there who are much better than me. I'm sure you'll find the right one for you someday.”

Yvette let out a wry chuckle and yelled at him, “Why would you stop me from going after other men if you won't marry me?”

The veins on Micah's forehead were bulging as he muttered through clenched teeth, “You can go after any other guy you like, but the leader is off-limits! You are unworthy of a man like him!” He then stormed out of the hall immediately after.

Yvette got so mad that she was trembling all over as she grabbed a tea cup and hurled it at the door.

I'm unworthy? I'm the freaking princess of Tarragon! Who else could possibly be worthy of dating our leader and ruling over Tarragon alongside him?

With a glass of wine in hand, the leader leaned against the couch in the study and arched an eyebrow at Micah. “That woman is your responsibility, so make sure you keep her under control. I will have her thrown into the snake pit if she tries to seduce me again.”

Holden shot Micah a glance before saying, “Leader, I'll need to make a trip to Zaewora and regain control of that area.”

“We're in no rush. Juliana has returned to her family. We can talk about reclaiming our land in Zaewora after she becomes the head of the family,” replied the leader calmly.

Meanwhile, Shirley had smashed up everything she could get her hands on in the fancy suite of a five-star hotel.

Her parents could only sigh as they stood by the door.

“I'm starting to wonder if our daughter isn't meant to be with Zeke. I mean, just look at how their engagement party turned out. They were this close to getting engaged, but then the fire broke out and ruined everything.”
