Chapter 253: Ruthlessness

Richard’s POV:

Diego, my subordinate, reported the turmoil in the city to me.I was so elated when I heard everything
he said.My plan had worked.

Before that little boy presented the bouquet to Rufus, I paid his father in advance to put some drugs on
the flowers.

Rufus was very sensitive and vigilant.

This was the only way I could think that he wouldn’t get suspicious.But actually, I wasn’t sure at first if it
would work.I didn’t expect it to be successful.

For the first time, I succeeded in setting Rufus up.It was very likely that this time, he would never be
able to turn the tables.

"Go give the father of that boy a reward.Tell him to keep his mouth shut or I’ll shut him up," I ordered
Diego.

"Then find an opportunity to get rid of him after this matter is over."

Only the dead could shut up forever.

The father of that boy had to bring my secret to his grave.

"But according to our men there, there were no major casualties in that turmoil," Diego said.

I frowned.I was not satisfied with this news.

Only when there were casualties could this matter be escalated.Then Rufus would be completely
overthrown.



Fortunately, I was prepared for this situation.I took a drag on my cigar.I was in a good mood when I
asked about Lucy.

"Lady Lucy has been given a muscle relaxant shot as planned," Diego answered truthfully.

I frowned again.

"Why do you still call her ‘Lady Lucy? She is now a mere dying prisoner."

"I understand.I’m sorry, Prince Richard," Diego answered timidly.

I didn’t make a fuss about it anymore.I put down my cigar, stood up, and walked to the parrot’s cage.

While playing with the bird, I asked, "Is Lucy in the manor in the suburb?"

"Yes, everything has been arranged.And the moon grass that can attract werewolves has been planted
along the road to the manor.When the drug takes effect, Prince Rufus will go crazy.His animal instinct
will definitely lead him to the manor to kill Lucy ruthlessly," Diego answered.

I couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Well done."

Lucy and that bastard in her belly would be my sacrifices to bring Rufus down.I deliberately used
muscle relaxants on Lucy instead of ether because I wanted to take revenge on her.I wanted her to be
torn apart by Rufus when she was still in a good state of mind.

By then, she would be too powerless to resist no matter how much she tried to struggle.I swore to
make her life a living hell Lucy was currently pregnant with "my child".

If Rufus killed her, I was pretty sure that he would be sentenced to death this time.



Even if he was the eldest prince, the throne would still be mine in the end. After being oppressed by
him for so many years, I could finally fight back.I had never been this happy before.I was so excited
that I unconsciously tightened my grip on the parrot.

It let out a cry, flapped its wings, and flew up.

"Fuck you! Fuck you!" it said, "Shut up!"

I snapped back.I shook the cage vigorously, trying to calm it down.

"Bastard! Bastard!" the parrot cried again.

This time, Diego couldn’t hold it any longer.

He burst into laughter.

I pulled a long face and put down the wooden stick.

This damn little parrot had obviously learned how I usually cursed Rufus.

I turned and glared at Diego.

"What’s so funny?" Diego shivered.

"Nothing.I’m sorry, nothing’s funny." I snorted coldly.

When Rufus really went to jail, I would send this damn parrot to accompany him.

Since I can’t scold him in person, I’ll let this parrot do it for me.I would do everything to piss him off.

"What if Prince Rufus sobers up?" Diego suddenly asked worriedly.



I squinted at him and said disapprovingly, "Do you seriously think I didn’t think of that? Unless there is
an antidote, the drug’s effect will stay in his body for twelve hours."

"It seems that your plan will definitely succeed this time," Diego said and gave me a flattering smile.

I tried my best to hold back the complacency in my heart, but the corners of my mouth couldn’t help
rising.

"Go and keep an eye on our subordinates.Make sure that the moon grass along the way will be cleared
as soon as Rufus enters the manor.Whether our plan succeeds or not, remember to destroy the
evidence first.Also, send someone to delay the soldiers in the palace.If they arrest Rufus before he can
do something to Lucy, our plan will be ruined."

After explaining everything to Diego, I sent him away to make the arrangements.I was only one step
away from achieving my goal now.I was already looking forward to the results.I was lucky that Blair
wasn’t here.

Otherwise, my plans wouldn’t have gone so well.
