Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 781 Then it’s your own fault
Chapter 781 Then it’s your own fault
"Si!" There was a cold breath that rang out through the crowd when they heard this.
At the same time, there were looks of despair that appeared on the faces of Duke Yuletide, his wife, and his daughter at the same time. It was clear that all three of them immediately understood what the fourth prince was implying with this.
However, there were some people in the crowd who didn't understand.
Those people started asking the people around them and soon they quickly understood what the fourth prince was planning to do.
He was planning to leave them here in the pillory without any supervision, that meant that he was giving his implicit permission to do whatever they wanted with the wife and daughter of Duke Yuletide.
They were free to do whatever they wanted to do, that would all be left up to the citizens of Vayne City in the crowd.
As soon as they understood, there were some people that started looking in the direction of the duke's wife and daughter with unsavory eyes.
There was no doubt that the wife and daughter of the duke were beautiful, which just made those eyes turn even more unsavory. It was clear that there were things that they wanted to do with the wife and daughter of the duke.
When the duke's wife and daughter felt the gazes that were cast on them, they both had terrified looks on their faces as they began begging for mercy again. It was just too bad that their words fell onto deaf ears.
They slowly realized that there was no use in begging the fourth prince for mercy, so instead…they quickly turned to look at Duke Yuletide.
"Tell him what he wants to know already!"
"Papa, please, I don't want this! Just tell him what he wants to know!"
Duke Yuletide deeply knitted his brows when he heard this, but he remained silent.
He could see the fourth prince turning to look at him, as if he was waiting to see what he would do.
But Duke Yuletide didn't say a single thing even though his wife and daughter were begging for him to do something.
The fourth prince narrowed his eyes when he saw Duke Yuletide like this.
There was a long silence that hung in the air, even the crowd fell silent as they felt that something was off, so they didn't dare make too much noise.
After that long silence, the fourth prince said with a sigh, "Fine, don't blame me for what's about to happen. It's your own fault that this is about to happen."
Duke Yuletide knitted his brows even more when he heard this, but it didn't seem like the fourth prince cared.
The fourth prince just turned back to face everyone as he said, "We will now put the criminals in the pillory. Once that is over, we'll leave them here to serve out their seven days of punishment."
Both the wife and the daughter of the duke trembled when they heard this, but they realized something.
There was only one pillory that was on the stage right now.
Did that mean…?
Both of them looked at each other in that moment and they could see what the other was thinking. Both of them immediately looked at each other with hostility as soon as they realized this.
It was clear that the fourth prince was only planning on putting one of them in to serve as an example, so that meant…
Both of them immediately started denouncing each other.
They both started to scream out crimes that the other person had done, in an effort to make themselves seem less guilty.
However, that was all in vain as the guards brought out another pillory.
When the two of them saw this, they both had looks like they were about to die on their faces.
They weren't fools, so they knew that the fourth prince had completely tricked them.
He had only put one pillory on the stage to make them think this and to turn them against each other. In truth, he was planning on putting both of them on the stage from the beginning and he was just using this chance to torture them even more.
Both of them were filled with shame at the fact that they had fallen for the fourth prince's trap and turned on each other like that. Neither of them could even look at each other after what had just happened…
But there was still something that they had to do.
If they didn't do anything, there was no telling what would happen to them…
So they both started urging Duke Yuletide to give the fourth prince what he wanted.
Only this time, they weren't as kind as before.
"You decrepit old man! Just tell him what he wants to know already!"
"You useless father! How dare you bring me down with you like this!"
It had reached the point where they were even cursing out Duke Yuletide for his insistence on keeping silent.
Once the second pillory was placed, the fourth prince gave a nod to the guards and said, "Make them more comfortable."
Both the wife and the daughter of the duke trembled when they heard this.
They clearly didn't like what this meant, so they looked at the guards with eyes filled with fear.
One guard went behind each of them to hold their hands, making sure that they couldn't do anything. Another guard came in front of them with a sword pulled out and they grabbed their clothes, almost as if…
The eyes of the two opened wide in fear, but they didn't get a chance to say anything as the guards had also muffled them.
They could only look on in absolute terror at what was about to happen.
Duke Yuletide had been gritting his teeth so hard that it even seemed like his teeth were about to crack.
But he finally did break as he said, "Enough! I'll tell you what you want!"
