Chapter 1434
"Let''s go to the Acker family then."
Polo was stunned after hearing what Prisci had said.
"Princess, we can''t go there! The Acker family is in chaos now, and they are about to rebel. Right
now, the king is sending troops to suppress them, and the whole family might be exterminated."
Polo''s words shocked Prisci.
"What? Does he want to wipe out the whole family?"
How big of a crime did the Acker familymit?!
Was the king nning to leave no one from the Acker family alive?
When Prisci remembered that Tristan was already back, she immediately began to worry.
"Bring me to the Acker family!"
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
"Princess..."
"Don''t you understand what I''m saying?"
Prisci''s expression immediately darkened as she shouted.
When Polo saw that Prisci was so stubborn, he did not say anything else. Instead, he informed
the rest of the men in the pce to be on guard to protect Prisci.
Meanwhile, Prisci never looked up as they made their way to the Acker family.
Hadn''t it been only a few days since she left?
How did Ango be like this?
"What are As'' men doing?"
If this had happened because As had asked Arlo to meet him, why didn''t As help them when
Laborn wanted to destroy the entire Acker family?
She felt that something was wrong here.
Polo quickly said, "As fell ill after the incident happened. Many doctors went to treat him, but his
condition had not improved. I heard that he was in this condition because he had gotten too angry."
"That''s bullsh*t!"
Prisci cursed immediately. Polo was a little surprised, but he quickly lowered his head as if he
didn''t hear her.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that As had nned this. Perhaps he had been
nning to use Laborn to get rid of the Acker family in the first ce!
After all, the Acker family was a crucial family that could turn the tides of this war. If they couldn''t
be a helping hand, they would be the most dangerous enemy. Therefore, if As couldn''t
gain the support of the Acker family, he could have schemed to get rid of the Acker family by using
Laborn.
Well, Prisci''s gaze turned icy cold when she thought that this was true.
She would definitely make As pay for this!
However, if she were to rush over to the Acker family now, what could she do to stop Laborn from
attacking the Acker family?
Even if she was Laborn''s daughter, she couldn''t stop Laborn as thetter was enraged.
"Polo, send our men to At''s ce to gather some evidence of him framing the Acker family."
"Princess, I''m afraid that won''t be easy. As has sealed off his mansion entirely, so no one can
enter it."
Polo was in a bit of a dilemma, so he couldn''t help but say this.
"Even if it''s not easy, you still have to do it. I''ll go ahead to the Acker family to stop the army''s
massacre. Hurry up and collect the evidence and send it to the pce. Otherwise, I''ll die together
with the Acker family."
Prisci had returned here regardless of what had happened, so she was ready to fight to her
death.
Meanwhile, Polo was utterly stunned when he heard this.
"Princess, why are you disregarding your safety..."
"Look, we don''t have time to think too much. Let''s go."
As soon as Prisci finished speaking, she stopped the car and took a taxi to the Acker family.
At this time, not many people dared to go to the Acker family.
Polo looked at Prisci''s determined demeanor and knew that his mission was critical. Hence, he
didn''t stop for even a moment and began to carry out Prisci''s orders.
When Prisci arrived at the Acker family''s entrance, the ce was already surrounded by troops.
"People of the Acker family, by the king''s order, as long as you surrender, you can save your lives.
Otherwise...”
"Stop this!"
Prisci suddenly shouted, and the guard was stunned when he heard her voice. When he saw
Prisci was the one who had shouted, he was stunned for a while, and then he saluted
respectfully.
"Princess, why are you here?"
"I think that something else must have happened in the Acker family, so we have to find out the
truth. Stand down for now. We should wait for my men to return to the pce and talk to the king
before making a decision."
As Prisci came in a hurry, she was breathing heavily.
On the other hand, when Tristan heard Prisci''s voice, he was slightly stunned and couldn''t help
but frown.
Why was she there?
Meanwhile, Teagan nced at Tristan and whispered, "Tristan, she is Laborn''s daughter after all.
You and her..."
"She and Laborn are two different people. Furthemore, this blood feud has nothing to do with her.
Besides, she''s my wife."
Teagan''s expression changed a little after hearing Tristan''s words. It was obvious that he did not
agree with Prisci''s identity.
"Teagan, I know that you are heartbroken over our father''s death. But at that time, she was with me
in Ocean City, and she did nothing. Moreover, she helped us before. Have you forgotten about
that?"
"No, I haven''t. However, I feel displeased when I think about how she is rted to Laborn by blood.
We may all die here today. If you care about her, ask her to leave."
Although Teagan said so, he meant to say that Prisci didn''t deserve to die in the Acker family''s
land."
After hearing this, Tristan looked at Teagan and said nothing, but there was a trace of coldness and
sadness in his eyes.
"I see. I am not a child of the Acker family, after all. Since you care so much, I will die with her
outside this ce. Don''t worry. I will protect you and the others till myst breath. After all, this is
what I owe the Acker family."
Once Tristan had finished his words, he was about to go out, but Teagan stopped him immediately.
"Tristan, what are you saying? You''re a member of the Acker family. I know you''re acting like this
because I don''t want to admit that she''s my sisterin-w, right? But our dad died in her father''s
hands. How can I ept her? I saw our father lying on the ground covered in blood! So what if
she''s innocent? Our father was innocent too!"
Teagan eximed with bloodshot eyes, and his voice was hoarse.
At this moment, the captain of the guards had already rejected Prisci''s request.
"Princess, I''m sorry. The king ordered that no one was allowed to plead for mercy, so I can''t stand
down. Otherwise, I will have to kill everyone without exception."
"Then you can kill me too. I am nothing to him anyways."
Prisci''s words were sonorous and forceful, so the crowd began whispering among themselves.
That was exactly what Prisci wanted.
She said in a loud voice, "For many years, the Acker family has alwaysid low, and they have
never participated in any political struggles. Now, they are going to eradicate the entire Acker family
because of some groundless crimes. Doesn''t the king want the support of his people anymore?"
"Princess!"
The captain turned pale with fright after hearing what she had said.
Princess Prisci was too bold! How could she say such treasonous words? If the king were to take
this into ount, she would be punished even if she was a princess.
However, Prisci said coldly, "What? The king dared to do this, so why can''t Iment on it? What
did the Acker family do wrong? Captain, I hope that you can give us a reasonable exnation. The
Acker family are honest merchants who had donated a lot of money for Ango, but they will die a
unjust death today. Even if the king doesn''t care what his people think, I can''t stand by and watch
this. If the captain can''t give me an exnation today, I swear not to obey this order in my name. If
you want to harm the Acker family, you have to do it over my dead body."
Prisci said these words loud and clear.
Teagan waspletely stunned after hearing this, while Tristan had tears in his eyes.
That silly woman came all the way here to die!
He didn''t tell her when he learned of the news because he was afraid she would act impulsively.
However, she still came anyway.
Right now, Tristan would not tolerate his wife being bullied by others!
At this thought, Tristan got up and was about to go out, but one of his secret bodyguards stopped
him.
"Tristan, the Princess is asking you not to go out. You are already a dead person in Ango. If you
go out now, the Acker family will only look more guilty. Furthemore, Princess Prisci has already
sent people to search for evidence to show As had framed the Acker family. As long as we can
find the evidence, both her and the Acker family will be safe."
The guard didn''t say these words loudly, but Tristan, Teagan, and the other members of the Acker
family understood what the guard was trying to tell him.
At this time, no one dared to get involved in the affairs of the Acker family. Hence, they never
expected Prisci to not only involve herself in this, but she was determined to see it through.
Suddenly, when Teagan recalled how he had looked down on Prisci previously, he immediately
regretted his actions.
"Tristan, I..."
"You don''t have to say anything. Do as she says. Teagan, take everyone and leave through the
secret passage."
Tristan had made up his mind after hearing what the guard had said.
However, Teagan said with some concern, "Tristan, what about you? How are you going to get
out?"
"I have my ways. Lead the Acker family out through the secret passage. My uncle''s and Captain
Eaves''s men are waiting for you outside. We have to take revenge, but first of all, we have to save
our lives. So, let''s leave now."
Teagan knew that Tristan''s words were reasonable, but he couldn''t leave Tristan behind.
"Alright."
Teagan nodded and then brought all his rtives to the secret passage, but he stayed back after
that.
No matter what, he had to fight together with Tristan.
On the other hand, Tristan did not know that Teagan had not left. Instead, he watched as Prisci
protected the entire Acker family with her frail body from the crack of the door. His emotions
churned inside of him, and he wanted nothing more than to carry her away on his shoulders.
Prisci was such a bold woman! But he liked her even more now.
At this thought, he was determined to im her as his.
It didn''t matter what tribtions they would face. In fact, Tristan vowed to stay with her, even after
their deaths.
After all, Tristan knew that their chances of escaping that day were close to none. At first, he had
regrets as there were still many things that he had not said to Prisci, but now he felt relieved.
Once the captain heard what Prisci had said, his face turned pale.
"Princess, you aremitting treason here!"
"What? That''s outrageous! I am trying to appease the hearts of the people as a member of the royal
family. How dare you say that I''mmitting treason? I''m sure that you fabricated the order to
exterminate the Acker family too, right?"
Prisci had used the captain of such a great crime, so thetter''s expression changed
dramatically.
"Princess, if you continue to be stubborn, please forgive me for offending you."
After finishing his words, the captain then raised his gun and pointed it at Prisci.
Meanwhile, Prisci''s heart skipped a beat when she saw this.
s! She was sure now that she was worthless to Laborn.
She was delusional to think that she could suppress the situation with her status. It turned out that
she had only thrown away her life bying here.
However, she felt d because she was the one who had chosen to die here.
All kinds of thoughts shed through Prisci''s mind. Then, she looked at the captain indifferently
and shouted, "Shoot me if you dare. I''ll like to see who gave you the guts to do so! After all, I''m
willing to die for the sake of the people!"
Just as Prisci''s voice faded, the captain pulled the trigger.
The bullet pierced through the air and headed towards Prisci.
With her skills, she could have dodged the bullet the instant it left the gun. However, she couldn''t
because the people standing behind her were the innocent family members of the Acker family.
At the critical moment, a figure dashed towards her, and then she felt a familiar breath on her skin.
However, Prisci didn''t have time to react before she was pressed against a familiar chest. Then,
she heard the sound of the bullet piercing through the skin. At the same time, Tristan''s handsome
face came up right in front of her.
