'It's him! Wasn't he captured by Master Magaera? How can he possibly be here in the New World?'' Yvette was stunned to see Skylar there.
Lord Kenny and the royal guards that stood around him were also shocked. Then, a barely noticeable look flashed across Lord Kenny's eyes. "Skylar?"
He was pretending to be surprised. Everything in front of them was a play staged by Skylar. They used a eunuch to lead Yvette alone to the palace and then trapped her in the formation. Skylar would then appear and save her from a bad situation.
They did this to dispel any bad impression Yvette had of Skylar. They hoped she would join them on the dark side.
Lord Kenny Bred regained his composure and pretended to be furious at Skylar's appearance.
"Skylar, how dare you trespass onto my palace? If you are sensible, just surrender right now," he shouted.
Lord Kenny was actually not a terrible actor. The royal guards had fixed their eyes on Skylar as they were ready to make a move at any time.
Skylar raised his head and laughed with unconcealed arrogance in his eyes. He sneered at Lord Kenny Bred, "Lord Kenny, you call yourself the New World Emperor? Why deploy so many royal guards to deal with one weak woman? I'm ashamed of you."
He looked at Yvette and continued, "I heard that she still calls you Uncle according to her seniority. You killed her father in public and robbed her brothers of the throne. Now you even want to kill her just to keep her mouth shut. Shame on you."
Skylar looked more arrogant than ever. He seemed to be mocking Lord Kenny, but in fact, he had been secretly paying attention to Yvette's reaction. After all, they were just putting on a show for her.
"You..." Lord Kenny's face turned red and his eyes were burning with rage.
Yvette came to her senses and shouted at Skylar, "Skylar, this is my fight. It's none of your business."
