When Petals Meet The Blade (Priscilla and Waldo) novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243

Two royal guards dragged Priscilla off.

Priscilla still clung to a sliver of hope, maybe the King was merely jesting.

But then, belatedly, she remembered what Waldo had once told her, “The king’s word is law.”

If the King decreed castration, then castration it would be. His commands were absolute and unchangeable.

She thought, ‘They’re actually going to castrate me!‘

Priscilla screamed, “No! You can’t! You can’t do this to me!”

Terrified, she thrashed wildly, pleading, “Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I’m Waldo’s beloved, I’m his woman, your future daughter–in–law, Your Majesty!”

Adele was troubled by what had happened to Priscilla

‘Even though I never liked her, Waldo adores her!‘ she thought with a pang of guilt.
