"I didn't think Adeline would catch up to my activities this soon. Maybe this is why she is the chosen one," Edwin smirked as he watched his quarter being ransacked by the Royal Guards.
Prince Edwin didn't try to fight back or create a scene and just let the guards do whatever they were ordered to do. Two of the guards were holding him captive in his private chamber while several other guards were searching for the hidden money.
But Lillian could not stay still when she heard the news about Edwin being under house arrest. She came running in her son's quarter and was causing a scene in front of the guards. She was giving an icy stare to the guards and was shouting at them, "I am ordering you all to stop this nonsense at once. You don't have the right to do anything until he is proven guilty."
She was behaving like a madwoman and was even openly threatening them, "Do not lay a finger on my son, or else I will sever that finger from your hand."
