The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1417

Priscilla never thought that Tristan's men would be in her palace.

Suddenly, she recognized the guard in front of her. He was the son of a official whom she had saved from Laborn two years ago. At the time, the official had sent his son to be her bodyguard out of gratitude.

During the past two years, this guard had abode by her orders and requests well. But what was happening now?

Was he working for Tristan?

At this thought, Priscilla's gaze suddenly hardened.

"Get in here and make yourself clear!"

With that, Priscilla turned around and returned to her room.

This was outrageous!

The guard didn't appear to be afraid nor worried. Instead, he followed Priscilla back to the palace and knelt in front of her.

"Please forgive me, Princess."

"What happened? When did you become one of

Tristan's subordinates? Tell me the truth!"

Priscilla was infuriated as she said this.

On the other hand, the guard wasn't even terrified. He looked at Priscilla and whispered, "I have always been serving Mr. Acker."

"Hah! Are you telling me that you've always been his subordinate since the beginning? So the incident with Laborn was a setup?"

"No, it was real, but it was also a dangerous move by Mr. Acker."

The guard said in a low voice, "At that time, you wanted to develop your forces and power. As a result, you were placed in the limelight too often, so you caught Laborn's attention. To protect you, Mr. Acker planned for me to deliberately commit mistakes so that the king would catch me. At that time, my family was rivals with the forces that you were supporting. So, Laborn also wanted my family to be on your side, so he didn't want you to support them. Thus, Mr. Acker got me to seize the opportunity to get close to you so that I could report your movements to him and protect you at the same time."

Priscilla felt a little upset after hearing this.

Wait. Did the guard mention that this happened two years ago?

Did that mean that Tristan had been monitoring her since two years ago?

Although Tristain had not monitored her himself, she still didn't feel great about it.

However, Priscilla did not continue to delve into this, and she thought about what the guard said instead. It seemed that Laborn had been cautious of her since two years ago. She had been complacent and so confident in herself that she thought she could withhold her information from Laborn. Hah! It turned out that she had been too naive instead!

Without Tristan protecting her in secret, she would have died many times over.

As she thought of the wounds the guard had suffered on her behalf for the past two years, she couldn't help but feel perplexed.

The more she learned about the truth, the more she felt that she owed a lot to Tristan. But Priscilla was not a person who liked to be indebted to others. What should she do then?

How could Tristan be so loathsome?

She had become indebted to him without her knowledge. What should she do?

Hence, Priscilla looked upset right now.

"I want to leave! Since you work for Tristan, so you should know that he is in a dangerous situation. I must go and help him. Do you want to watch him die without doing anything?"

The guard still insisted and said, "Princess, before Mr. Acker left, he said that no matter what happened, you must not leave the palace. Otherwise, my family and I will die. Please... I beg you to remember how dedicated I have been to you for the past two years! Please spare my family!"

After hearing this, Priscilla was stunned.

She had never imagined that Tristan would threaten her with the guards' family members.

That hateful jerk!

"But if he dies, won't you be afraid..."

"Mr. Acker will be fine as he will not be at the front line. Besides, Mr. Acker had said that the best way to solve this issue is to borrow someone else's strength!"

The guard's words slightly surprised Priscilla.

Was he planning to leverage on others to solve this?

What did that mean?

However, Priscilla also realized that Tristan would not carry out the attack himself.

She finally felt relieved.

"Do you know his plan?"

"I don't, but Mr. Acker gave me this order before he left. He said that if you asked about this, I should reply in this way to put you at ease."

"What? I'm not worried about him!"

Priscilla felt as if someone had offended her, and she was immediately pissed.

When the guard saw this, he lowered his head and said nothing, but Priscilla was still frustrated.

Hah! No wonder Tristan could come and go freely in her palace. It turned out that he had his men here!

"How many of my men are Tristan's?"

"I don't know. I only know that my duty is to protect the princess. There may be another messenger, but other than that, I don't know anything else."

Upon hearing the guard's words, Priscilla felt like picking a fight with Tristan. He was such a jack*ss!

She had always been proud of the fact that she could roam free and easy in her palace all these years because she was powerful. But now that she knew that Tristan was protecting her secretly, she felt terrible!

"Get out!"

"Yes, Princess."

The guard understood the situation and left immediately.

After listening to this, Maya looked at Tristan in a new light.

After all, it seemed like Mr. Acker had a deep affection for the Princess!
