?Chapter 720:


    “Yes, sir. Everything is in ce. We’ll lure the three princes to Makenna and Martin’s rendezvous under the pretense of fetching medicine for Evelyn. This will ensure that Makenna and Martin are caught in the act,” the subordinate answered.


    I nodded, satisfied by his answer.


    My subordinate, however, had a confused look on his face. Timidly, he asked, “Sir, I don’t understand why this long ruse is necessary. Wouldn’t it be easy to just drug”


    Makenna and Martin in the pce? Wouldn’t that make things easier instead of going through all this trouble?”


    I chuckled coldly at his question. “In the pce? That’s too risky. Makenna’s friend and servant are always by her side. The three princes also keep a close watch on her. They would go ballistic if she disappeared for even a moment. Besides, without Makenna pleading for the princes to search for Martin, they wouldn’t suspect her. They might even end up uncovering my scheme.”


    My subordinate’s face grew thoughtful as he reflected on my words.


    Watching him struggle to understand, I borated further, as I was in a good mood.


    “Makenna went to the princes for help yesterday but was refused. This means the rift between them is widening. Today, she decided to go find Martin alone. This will only cause further misunderstanding.”


    A sinister smile curved my lips, and I continued, “When the princes catch Makenna and Martin in apromising position, even if they have doubts about the situation, Makenna’s stubborn nature will keep her from exining, thereby sealing her fate.”


    My subordinate’s eyes suddenly lit up in understanding, and a look of admiration spread across his face. “That’s truly brilliant, sir,” he said.


    His admiration caused my grin to widen even further. Finally, I said, “Make sure to lead Makenna and Martin out of my estate and drive them to the designated location.”


    “Yes, sir,” the subordinate said with a bow before exiting the room.


    Makenna’s POV:


    The moon shone brightly in the sky, illuminating the night. Dressed in ck, I stealthily approached the Harrison family estate.


    The dazzling lights illuminated the estate, making it as bright as day. The guards stood alert, their hands on their weapons.


    However, from my observation during the day, I could tell there was a weak spot in their defenses. The guards would be even morex now that it was dark.


    With this thought in mind, I crouched down and moved toward the weak point I had previously observed.


    My heart thumped in my chest as I approached. There were only a few guards stationed there. These guards were anything but vignt. They leanedzily against the wall, visibly fighting off sleep.


    It seemed this was my lucky day.


    Although delighted by this turn of events, I refused to act rashly. I stayed hidden and waited for the perfect moment.


    Perhaps fate truly favored me, because momentster, one of the guards yawned and said, “Ah, this is a wretched night. Nothing’s likely to happen. Let’s go have a drink.”


    The other two guards readily nodded at this suggestion, and soon they went off to drink.


    Perfect!


    I was happy yet suspicious at how easy this seemed.
