Chapter 1889 - 187 Your Highness Is Coming Out
Jacob Winchester truly felt overwhelmed with astonishment; he had never anticipated such a turn of events.
He had always been rather proud of himself, believing that he had played his cards right and could potentially ascend to the throne. But once inside, he realized his schemes were a joke in the face of Great Power, and as each prince revealed their strength, and with the intervention of the major sects, he suddenly realized he was out of his depth.
The course of events had completely defied his expectations. The thought that he was merely a Chore Disciple and that the Heavenly Domain Gate was planning to back Prince Alfred was profoundly depressing to him.
Standing here, watching the people from the various Kingston Houses and then looking at the subordinates of his own, Prince Jacob suddenly felt a sense of loss.
"Welcome back, Your Highness."
Everyone came forward to greet him. Naturally, they were excited that their own prince had not perished, which indicated that Prince Jacob’s Mansion was now on the winning side.
"Your Highness, is Prince Samuel still alive?" one of Prince Samuel’s Manor’s people asked.
Glancing at the man from Prince Samuel’s Manor, Jacob shook his head and said, "The prince is dead, you all should prepare yourselves."
He truly wasn’t in the mood to say much more. To the external world, he might seem exalted, but he knew the reality—that he was just too weak.
Seeing a once arrogant Prince Jacob reduced to this state, everyone’s expression shifted. Such a change in demeanor suggested that something significant had happened, even though they had no idea what could have transpired inside.
When the people from Prince Samuel’s Manor confirmed that their prince was indeed dead, their faces turned ugly. They knew it had to be true, and now they faced a tragedy; they needed to think about their future.
