Chapter 1418


    "I didn''t pay her anything. She volunteered to do this."


    Tristan''s tone was a little solemn as he spoke of this.


    "What happened?"


    Prisci was momentarily stunned, but she was anxious to know.


    Tristan whispered, "Bernard killed her most beloved man and drove her mother mad. Her father


    couldn''t stand the shock. So, he got drunk one day and died in a car ident. Then, her mother


    drowned shortly after her father''s death."


    That was a tragedy! Bernard''s reckless pige had caused the tragic death of a family.


    Prisci felt miserable all of a sudden after hearing this.


    "How is the girl now?"


    "She should be dead soon."


    "What? How could this be?"


    Prisci asked hurriedly, "Why didn''t you take her with you?" "She wants to die, and I can''t take her


    with me."


    Tristan also felt heavyhearted at this thought.


    But the girl didn''t want to live anymore. No one knew what the girl had suffered, and Tristan only


    knew that she was heavily scarred and bruised.


    There were many scars and wounds on her body, and most of which were caused by cigarette


    burns. There were even bruises on her body. All of them were caused by assault, whipping, and


    even wax burns.


    s! Bernard was simply a beast!


    Well, Tristan could cure the wounds on her body, but he couldn''t heal her emotional trauma.


    Besides that, the child in the girl''s womb had died because she had swallowed abortion pills.


    She even refused the operation to take the child out, so she couldn''t live much longer.


    Tristan told Prisci the stories sorrowfully, and Prisci was also depressed upon hearing them.


    "Urgh! Bernard died too quickly! He hasn''t suffered enough to pay for these sins!"


    "Well, to be fair, it wasn''t an easy death. After the girl drugged him, Bernard had lost all his strength.


    Then, she castrated him, and she pretty much stamped on his pride. Not only that, but the girl also


    told Bernard that his child was already dead. Bernard wanted to kill her then, but he had no


    strength left."


    When Tristan talked about this matter, he also felt very ufortable.


    Previously, the girl had sent Tristan a message saying that she would help kill Bernard. They had


    even agreed that Tristan would get her out of the ce once she had done the deed. However, it


    was all a lie as the girl never wanted to continue living.


    Then, the girl dismembered Bernard''s limbs and cooked them for As. After As took a bite, only


    did she tell him that it was his son''s meat. Naturally, As was outraged and killed the girl there and


    then.


    Hence, Tristan had heard that she had died a horrible death, and her body had been dismembered.


    However, Tristan withheld this information from Prisci.


    Although Prisci looked tough on the outside, she was still kindhearted and meek on the inside.


    Therefore, he decided to hide this bloody story from her.


    After telling Nathaniel about these things, Prisci saw that Tristan was staring at her intensely.


    "Why are you looking at me like that?"


    "My ne will arrive soon. Have you packed your things?"


    Tristan''s words startled Prisci immediately.


    "Are you kidding me? When did I say I would go with you?"


    "Are you telling me that you''re staying here so that you can find another husband? Don''t forget! The


    entire country knows that Laborn gave me your hand in marriage."


    "But you''re already dead!"


    Prisci gloated since she was the one who nned his fake death.


    However, Tristan smiled and said, "I could let everyone know that I am still alive at any time."


    "What? Are you crazy?"


    Prisci stared at Tristan and realized that there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.


    Urgh! How could he threaten her with his life?


    "Tristan, do you think this is a joke? Your life is your own. You can choose whether you want to live


    or die on your own!"


    "Alright then. I will return to the Acker family now."


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    After that, Tristan got up to leave, but Prisci grabbed him.


    "Will you stop messing around? You will end up losing your life!" "Hah! You don''t even care about


    me!"


    Prisci wanted to hit Tristan when she saw how shameless he was being.


    "Don''t force me, okay?"


    "Is there anyone else left who you care about? Maya''s brother had arrived at Ocean City. After you


    leave here with Maya, you shouldn''t have any more attachment to this ce."


    Tristan''s words frustrated Prisci again.


    "How many of your men are around me? Don''t tell me that everyone around me works for you! Are


    the people whom I have been training all these years all yours?"


    "Nah, just three or four of them."


    Surprisingly, Tristan was overjoyed when she saw how annoyed Prisci was.


    "Get lost!"


    Prisci was not dumb to believe his words! However, Maya had already finished packing, so she


    knocked on Prisci''s door and asked, "Princess, when are we leaving?"


    "Leaving? We are not f*king leaving!"


    "Hey! Girls shouldn''t curse."


    Tristan frowned slightly when he heard what


    Prisci had said.


    "It''s none of your business!"


    "Are you not going to listen to me anymore?"


    Tristan abruptly took a step closer as he questioned this. His 6-foot tall height frightened Prisci, so


    she involuntarily took a step back.


    "Do you think you''re impressive just because you''re tall?"


    "Yes, I think that it is! Heh, I don''t think you can grow up to 6 feet tall!"


    Prisci gritted her teeth in anger when she saw Tristan''s smug face.


    "Urgh! Get out of my way!"


    Prisci stretched out her arm to push Tristan away. However, Tristan took advantage of this and


    pulled her into his arms before carrying her up.


    "Let''s go home then."


    "Tristan, let go of me! You are kidnapping me!"


    "You can shout even louder. Maybe Laborn wille and save you."


    Tristan''s lips curled into a slight smile, and a smug expression was written all over his face.


    However, Prisci shut her mouth.


    After all, he would not let Tristan die.


    "Even if Bernard is dead, As would not suspect


    Laborn as all." "Well, the girl works for Laborn."


    Tristan''s words stunned Prisci.


    "Is that true?"


    "Yes, the girl said so before she died. s! She helped us before she died."


    Tristan said solemnly as he was still very sad about this.


    Meanwhile, Prisci also stopped talking.


    If they wanted to end a regime, they had to pay the price by sacrificing a lot of people. Most


    importantly, a lot of innocent people had to give up their lives for this as well.


    Therefore, Prisci didn''t like the pce. She didn''t like the power struggle, and she disliked seeing


    the miserable deaths of innocent people. However, some things were out of her control.


    "I hope the civil war in Ango will end sooner, and the nation will continue to prosper."


    "Yes, it will. Lebanon has already awakened. After he exposes Laborn''s crimes to the world, he will


    be the legitimate sessor to the throne."


    After all, Tristan had always nned to help Lebanon win over the throne.


    When Prisci heard this, she looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Did you set this up from the


    beginning?" "That''s right."


    "Then why didn''t you help Lebanon when he was forced to leave Ango?"


    "How old was I when he left Ango? Come on! I had no authority at that time, so I couldn''t do


    anything even if I wanted to help him!"


    Tristanughed as he said this.


    Did Prisci think that he was omnipotent?


    Then, Prisci continued, "What about when Alfred died?"


    "Hmm... I can''t get involved in that matter."


    "What do you mean?"


    "My mother was the one who killed Alfred and framed it on Bernard. At first, Bernard wanted to take


    action against Alfred, but he then wanted to win over Alfred as thetter could influence Lebanon''s


    decisions. At that time, Alfred had too big an influence on Lebanon. He thought that Alfred was the


    same as him, but that wasn''t true. Soon, Alfred found out that his sister was in Bernard''s hands.


    Hence, there was a possibility that Alfred would join forces with Bernard for his sister."


    This was something that nobody knew about, but Tristan chose to tell Prisci this.


    "In fact, Alfred consumed the poison of his own will. My mother had rescued his sister and had


    arranged a good life for her. My mother had also allowed the siblings to say theirst goodbyes, so


    that was why Alfred was willing to die. He did it not only so that his sister could live in peace but


    also for Lebanon. Alfred knew that Lebanon''s feelings towards him were probably not true love but


    more like feelings towards family. If Lebanon were to one day be the king, he had to let go of this


    deformed love. However, Lebanon was a stubborn man. As long as Alfred was alive, Lebanon


    would never let him go. Therefore, only Alfred''s death could motivate Lebanon to fight for power and


    authority. Now that Lebanon is about to sit on the throne, he will only be lonelier."


    Tristan still felt sorry for Lebanon, so he decided to protect thetter by not telling him about the true


    story behind Alfred''s death.


    On the other hand, Prisci was slightly taken aback and did not say another word.


    When she came to her senses, she was already on the ne.


    "Tristan, you are asking me to abandon my home country."


    "Don''t worry. You''re just going home."


    Tristan smiled faintly when he said this. After all, he felt that being able to bring Prisci back to his


    country was his biggest aplishment so far.


    Then, one of his subordinates went up to Tristan and handed him a letter.


    "Mr. Acker, this letter is from the previous and current lords of the family."


    That meant that this was a letter Arlo and Teagan had written.


    The letter was very thick, and it was more than ten pages. There were very few people in this


    society who still wrote letters, but Arlo and Teagan were some of those few.


    Hence, instead of hiding thetter from Prisci, he opened the letter directly.


    In the letter, Arlo was a little reluctant to let Tristan leave and told him that the Acker family would


    always be his home and that there would always be a ce for him there.


    Meanwhile, Teagan also told Tristan that he would be his older brother for the rest of his life.


    Tristan''s name would be in the Acker''s family register, and the Acker family would remember


    everything he had done forthem.


    After reading this, Tristan was happy, and his heart was warm.


    He would never forget his foster family''s kindness to him, so he did not intend to change his name.


    After all, Tristan Acker was a nice name.


    "Haha! Well then, Your Highness, I''ll have to trouble you to marry me, even though I''m only the fake


    heir to the Acker family."


    Tristan was joking, but Prisci felt sorry for him.


    "You can return to your birth family when you return home."


    "I''ll certainly return to my birth family, but I won''t change my name. After all, my life was given by the


    Acker family. Hence, I did everything for the Acker family willingly. Hence, Your Highness, you


    should put more thought into the next generation of the Hans family. If not, there will be no


    descendants in the Hans'' family second branch."


    Prisci was dumbfounded after hearing what Tristan had said, and then she suddenly blushed to


    her neck.


    "Hey! Who said that I would birth you kids so that you can continue your bloodline? Tristan, could


    you be more shameless?"


    "I can be as shameless as I want with my wife. Right, I forgot to tell you. I have already submitted


    my request for marriage, and it was already approved. So, the first thing we need to do when we get


    back is to get our marriage license."


    Prisci was in shock when she heard how fast


    Tristain had taken action.


    He now had a military rank and naturally needed to request permission for his marriage. However,


    she was one of the princesses from Ango. Would the military even approve of their marriage?


    However, Prisci had a glimmer of expectation in her heart when she looked at Tristan and his


    bright smile.
