Chapter 1357
"Who is it?"
Prisci said these words with a hint of coldness and anger.
Suddenly, Maya walked in quickly.
"Your Highness, the king''s men are here."
After saying this, Maya looked down carefully and found that there were two cups on the table.
Thus, she immediately ignored the etiquette and hid a cup in her sleeve.
When Prisci saw this, she nced at Maya with an appreciative gaze. However, a hint of doubt
flitted across her pupils suddenly.
After all, Laborn never came to her ce, nor did he care about her. Hence, why did he suddenly
decide to do so now?
Perhaps... did he discover something?
At this thought, Prisci subconsciously nced at Mango''s room and couldn''t help but say, "I''ll go
out and take a look. Remember, no one is allowed to enter my room without my permission."
When Maya heard Prisci''s orders, she knew that something was up, but she still nodded.
On the other hand, Prisci was a little worried.
However, now that things had escted this way, she could not stay here any longer. Furthermore,
if anything happened to Mango, Nathaniel would think that Prisci had plotted this on purpose.
D*mn it!
Urgh! Why was she going against Mango?
"Let me repeat my orders! No one is allowed to enter this room or you''ll be killed without exception!"
When Maya saw Prisci'' grave expression, she knew that this matter was serious, so she quickly
said, "What if the king''s men insist on breaking in?"
"I told you that I would kill anyone who enters that room! No exceptions!"
As Prisci said this, a ruthless gaze shed through her eyes.

Meanwhile, Maya was stunned.
Was Prisci nning to go against the king?
After all, why would she do this for a man? This wasn''t worth it!
Well, Maya did not know the answer to this question, but she felt that Prisci was terrifying right
now.
"Maya, you need to think carefully and make a decision now. Will you take my side? Or will you
stand with the king? If you regret your decision, I will set you free."
Well, Prisci had met a lot of people throughout the years, so she knew their true colours well.
Hence, she noticed how Maya''s expression had changed as well.
After hearing this, Naya was stunned, and she couldn''t help but shiver in fear.
Then, she immediately knelt on the floor.
"Your Highness, I''m your subordinate, and I only work for you! I''ll do anything for you, even if I have
to give up my life!"
"In that case, get someone to move Henry to the basement. Also, make sure to use the
doppelganger that we arranged previously."
Once Prisci was in charge of Henry, she was afraid that Lebanon woulde to trouble her.
Hence, at that time, she had asked Maya to find a doppelganger to rece Henry. In fact, she even
asked someone to break the doppelganger''s hands and legs to make this more believable. With
that, her n would be foolproof.
"Yes, Your Highness."
They were pressed for time now. Hence, Maya could not go over to Henry''s ce herself, and she
could only give instructions over the phone.
Meanwhile, Prisci seemed to be talking to herself as she muttered, "I hope Henry is fine."
On the other hand, Mango, who was hiding in the room, was a little worried.
After all, Prisci wouldn''t say such things for no reason. Moreover, after hearing what Prisci had
said, she could tell that Prisci had already made precautions as thetter had already expected
that someone would bring Henry away. Hence, Mango felt thankful for Prisci now.
While they were talking, the king''s subordinates entered the room.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness."
The official greeted Prisci with a respectful gaze. Well, this was something that Prisci didn''t
expect.
"Hello, it''s been a while since an official came here, so I''m sure that you must have had a hard time
finding this ce. Here, Maya, give him a cup of tea."
"Thank you for being so considerate, Your Highness. However, I came here today on His Majesty''s
orders. He wants you to hand over one of your people to him."
The official replied ad got straight to the point.
"Oh? Does that mean you came to my ce to take someone away? Does father want a male
servant or a female servant?"
Prisci pretended to be silly as she asked.
"His Majesty wants a guard named Henry."
When Mango heard Henry''s name, her heart skipped a beat.
The king had obviously sent his men to take Henry away!
At this thought, Mango felt a little strange. After all, Henry had hidden his true strength well. Hence,
how could he attract so much attention now? He had only shown his real abilities because Bernard
had forced him to do so. But now, Laborn was doing the same thing! s! What did they want to get
from Henry?
Wait! Had Henry been exposed since the beginning?
Well, Mango didn''t have the time to think about it carefully. After all, she knew Prisci wanted her to
bring Henry away and rece him with a doppelganger.
However, where could Mango bring Henry to?
Suddenly, at this moment, Nathaniel jumped in from the window and startled Mango.
"Hey! Why are you here?"
Mango mouthed to Nathaniel in shock.
Then, Nathaniel mouthed back, "I came back because I didn''t see you. However, I didn''t say
anything when I saw that you and Prisci were drinking. Anyway, we should take Henry away first."
"All right."
When Mango saw Nathaniel, she felt more relieved as he was her support. After that, she jumped
out of the window with Nathaniel.
"Mr. Ye, this way please."
Meanwhile, Kash was already waiting outside to lead the way. Obviously, Prisci was concerned
about Nathaniel.
Then, Mango and Nathaniel followed Kash to where Henry was. Henry was still in aa, so Kash
carried Henry on his back and said to Nathaniel, "Mr. Ye, it''s not safe here now. Since the king has
set his eyes on this ce, we can only hide him somewhere else. However, we can''t send him out
of the pce now. So, Mr. Ye, do you where we can hide for now?"
After all, this was an emergency. When Prisci first looked around for Henry''s substitute, she
intended to put some of her people around Lebanon. However, Laborn had gone to Lebanon''s ce
beforeing to her ce to ask for Henry. Thus, this meant that he knew that both of them were
in cahoots, and he was now suspicious of them. Thus, they would only make things more
complicated for Lebanon if they sent Henry there now.
However, Prisci didn''t have any feelings for her Lebanon, her brother. On the other hand, he was
Mango''s cousin, and Nathaniel cared for him. Thus, she couldn''t help but care for him too.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel didn''t know what to do.
After all, he felt quite lost in this pce.
However, Mango said softly, "Follow me, I know a ce where we can hide him."
After all, Henry was still one of Mango''s subordinates. Hence, she would not allow anything to
happen to him.
"Huh? You know where we can hide him?" Nathaniel asked as he was somewhat surprised. "We
can hide him at Princess Prisca''s pce." Well, Mango knew that Prisca was suspicious, but she
had no other choice.
After all, Mango had the same thoughts as Prisci. If they sent Henry back to Lebanon, this would
only expose the rtionship between Lebanon and Henry. Thus, Bernard and Laborn both wanted
to kill Henry because of this well.
After all, Lebanon had been in Z Country for many years, and he was close to Mango. Furthermore,
Henry was also a former member of the Dark
Night Empire.
At this thought, Mango suddenly felt upset.
After all, she was the one who put Henry in such danger, so she couldn''t ignore him. Moreover, he
was still in aa, and he didn''t know what was happening around him.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel was only slightly stunned and said to Kash, "Is there a shortcut that can bring
us to Princess Prisca''s pce from here?"
"There is a secret passage that the Master used to escape. I think we can make it to Princess
Prisca''s pce through here!"
Kash replied hurriedly.
Mango did not know how Nathaniel and Kash had managed to get in contact with Prisca as both of
them had only arrived in the pce recently. However, she was relieved as they had a safe ce to
hide now.
"Let''s go then!"
Nathaniel grasped Mango''s hand and quickly followed behind Kash after saying that.
When both of them arrived behind the mountain, Mango found out what Prisci had done in the
capital of Ango all these years. While Mango walked through the secret passage, she began to
admire Prisci even more. After all, Prisci had managed to build a secret passage in the pce
without anyone noticing. Obviously, it must have taken her a few years to do this. Hence, it meant
that Prisci had been plotting this since she came back to the pce.
Therefore, Mango was grateful towards Prisci as she had done so much for Nathaniel. After all,
Mango had to admit that Prisci was still a wise princess, even though thetter was her love rival.
Meanwhile, Mango had mixed feelings as they walked through the secret passage. However, Kash
quickly led them to Prisca''s pce.
On the other hand, Prisca was surprised to see them when they arrived. But, she realised what was
going on when she saw the people behind them.
"Zina, prepare a room and find a doctor that we can trust."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After that, Sina left the room quickly to carry out Prisca''s orders.
"Thank you."
Mango thanked Prisca immediately.
Meanwhile, Kash was worried that Prisci would be in danger, so he left immediately after bringing
Mango and Nathaniel to the pce. On the other hand, Nathaniel was still worried about Mckenzie,
but he was reluctant to leave Mango alone at
Prisca''s pce too.
Meanwhile, Mango could tell that he was in a dilemma. Then, she said softly, "You can do whatever
you want. Don''t worry about me, alright? If Prisca wanted to harm me, she would have done so a
long time ago!"
"Okay, call me if you need anything. Remember to keep the tracker on so I can know where you are
at all times."
As Nathaniel said this, he looked at the bracelet on Mango''s wrist with a serious expression.
Hence, Mango quickly turned on the tracker on her bracelet because she didn''t want Nathaniel to
worry. Then, Nathaniel finally left after seeing that.
On the other hand, Henry wasn''t doing well, and he was already burning up.
Therefore, Mango looked a little anxious as Zina hadn''te back yet. When Prisca saw this, she
whispered, "Should I get someone to get us a doctor that works outside the pce? I think it will
take some time for Zina toe back as we are in a critical situation. After all, it''s easier to get a
doctor that works outside a pce."
When Mango heard what Prisca had said, she was confused."
"In that case, why did you ask your people to get a doctor that you can trust instead?"
Prisca looked around before answering, "That''s because I wanted to deceive some people!"
After hearing this, Mango immediately understood that Prisca did not trust the people that were
working for her.
Did the king ce some of his men around Prisca?
Mango was curious, but she ask this question. After all, she was not familiar with Prisca. But, now,
Henry was still burning up. Hence, if Prisca was telling the truth, this meant that Henry was in a
critical situation now.
"Will it look suspicious if we invite a doctor from outside?"
"No, I have an idea. I''m sure that the doctor will only take around ten minutes to arrive."
Mango started to change her mind when she heard what Prisca had said.
"If we get a doctor that works in the pce, will he take more than ten minutes to arrive?"
"Well, yeah. He''ll probably only get here in twenty minutes."
Since Prisca had already said so, after weighing the pros and cons of this situation, Mango had no
choice but to agree to the former''s suggestion.
After that, Prisca called someone and then asked a maid to prepare hot water for Henry.
Although Henry had a fever and could not think clearly he still whispered, "I''m... I''m fine. I won''t die!
I have to go back."
His voice was so soft, so only someone who was lying next to him could hear him clearly. However,
Mango had overheard what he said, so she couldn''t help but feel upset.
After all, she was the one who made Henry leave his hometown ande here. Now, no one knew
whether he would live or die.
"Don''t worry, I will take you home! I promise!"
Mango held Henry''s hand tightly as she dered.
Well, she didn''t know if Henry had heard it or felt it. However, Henry appeared to have found a
strand of hope as he grabbed onto Mango''s hand tightly. Mango''s hand hurt a little, but she didn''t
say anything, and she only nced at Henry pitifully.
Prisca saw this and asked in a low voice, "Is he your subordinate?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Hmm... he''s quite loyal."
After that, Prisca did not ask any more questions. Instead, she stepped out of the room to give
Mango and Henry some privacy.
On the other hand, Mango felt more rxed now
that Prisca had left.
Suddenly, about ten minutester, she could hear footstepsing from outside. After that, a
handsome man came in with a medical kit in his hands.
