Peace Offering To The Cursed Prince - Chapter 350
Eva was frightened when she saw one of the men running towards her so she increased her pace and got into the carriage. It was at this point that she realized that Jeffery had been the rider so running away will be a bit difficult. Just as she thought the man was going to pull her out.
She saw a force pull him back. The man that rushed after Eva could not explain what happened. He just found a force too strong for him to fight to pull him back and he landed on the ground with a loud. *Thud
The other three men seeing this also rushed to fight Jeffery at the same time but he managed to dodge all their blows, he knew that if one of these men managed to hit him then he will be in lots of trouble.
These men were not trained fighters like Jeffrey, the three just attacked without any formation. This made it easy for Jeffery to dodge. After failing to touch Jeffrey with their first attacks, the men become skeptical but they did not give up.
This time Jeffrey did not wait for them to attack. He went forward and throw a punch at the first man. No matter how fast the first man tried to dodge he was too slow for Jeffrey’s fist. The punch hit him directly on his face causing his breath to cut on his throat.
The impact of the punch sent the man to his knees, before he could catch his breath he felt a kick in his lower abdomen sending him to the ground.
The man bit his lips to stop himself from crying out in pain. The other two men were shocked at the sight but they soon returned to their senses and rushed towards Jeffery.
Seeing the men run to him like made men, Jeffery was not scared. If one were to look closely then he will notice the smile on his lips.
The first man throws a punch which Jeffery dodged with ease. This time the second man seems to have anticipated Jeffrey’s move so he throws his punch in the direction Jeffrey has moved his head. Since it was too late to dodge, Jeffrey could only raise his hand to receive the punch.
As the man’s hand made contact with Jeffery, Jeffrey used his free hand to attack the man hitting him hard on his neck. The man felt the pain and held his neck. The second man also took the opportunity to throw a punch but he missed and ended up getting a kick from Jeffery that sent him flying.
Thump* his back hit the horse, the horse was well trained for war, it raised its leg and kick the man away.
The man who could still feel the pain in his throat did not dare attack. He raised his hand in surrender. “I was wrong,” he apologized seeing the fate of his friends m
“Who sent you?” Jeffery could not be bothered with him.
“We do not know her, she was a noble lady. She promised to give us this house if we get rude of the lady who lives here,” the man said all he knew.
The other men also got on their knees, it not that they could no longer fight but they were not fools. The punch from Jeffrey was very powerful and they feared they will die if they dared to continue fighting.
” Did you take anything from the house?” Jeffery asked. The men did not bother saying anything but brought out the gold coins and pieces of jewelry they had taken from the house.
“you dare to take my family belongings?” Jeffery was angry. He knew very well that Eva could not afford the things the man brought out. When they heard his question. Two of the men who wanted to hide some of the things immediately brought it out.
Jeffrey shook his head and took a step closer to the fourth man. When the others saw that his attention was on the fourth man they ran away. Jeffery did not bother about them, instead, he took hold of the fourth man.
“If you and your brothers do not return in the next half an hour, then you can forget about finding a Palace to hide in Avalo,” After saying this Jeffrey let go of him.
As the man ran away he heard Jeffrey’s words. “you can try to hide but when I find you, you will be sorry,”
Eva took a deep breath and came out of the carriages, she did not look as scared as Jeffrey had expected.
“thank you,” she bowed in gratitude.
“Are you okay?” Jeffery did not even notice the care in his voice.
“I am fine, thanks to you,” Eva answered and tried to smile.
“Did you offend someone?” Jeffery asked as he bend down to pick the things that were left on the floor by the men.
“It is my cousin, she came to look for me yesterday and asked that I vacate the house as it belongs to her mother but I refuse and told her that I remembered that the house was my mother’s. She is the only one in Avalo who would want me to disappear,” Eva explained.
When Jeffrey heard her answer he was angry. He was not the type to care about other people’s business but he was angry.
First, this cousin stole another person’s identity yet they had the heart to send people to hurt them. Jeffery could still remember the night that the so-called cousin had shown up. ‘How could a person have no shame?’
“if she has anything to do with those men, I will help you get justice and reunite with your father,” Jeffery promised.
“no,” Eva shook her head. “if you can just help me get justice so I will not have to fear her again, I will be satisfied. I do not just want her to come after me,” Eva explained. She had never known her father, so she was not interested in such a thing.
Moreover, she knew very well that the family will just give her out to marry someone for their benefit. Becoming a noble was not necessarily a good thing.
Jeffrey could guess what she was thinking so he agreed. “help me pack my family things, I am here to get them,” Jeffery said.
Eva was happy to help and soon, they were down parking.
“Come with me, until your cousin is dealt with this place is not safe,” Jeffery could not leave her to die after saving her.
Eva did not dare refuse, just as she entered the carriage, the four men who ran away before returned.
Jeffrey was surprised since he did not expect them to take his words seriously. He knew the gates will be closed because of the search for prince William. He wanted to take advantage of the situation to find these men from their hiding but they showed up themselves
” We will do whatever you ask,” one of the men said. They had met one of their friends as they tried to escape the city. That friend had told them that the royal city was on lockdown and no one was allowed out of the city.
They were so scared that they decided to return, what if the man who beat them up had the capacity to find them.. If they run away from the royal city then they could be sure of their safety but within the gate, it was best that they surrender.
