Chapter 224 Head-on Collision
But her voice was incredibly beautiful. Especially her pleading, which unconsciously carried a touch of allure.
The crown prince was already impatient and was thinking of having the woman thrown out, but upon hearing this sound, he was suddenly a little disturbed.
"Bring the person over here."
Upon hearing the Crown Prince's command, the guards quickly brought the woman over. Seeing the dirt on the woman's face, the Crown Prince tentatively asked, "Miss, has something happened?"
Upon hearing the prince's question, the woman immediately knelt and bowed to him, choking back tears as she said, "Your Excellency, there are villains chasing me. Please, Your Excellency, save my daughter."
The woman had tears welling up in her eyes, but she was desperately trying not to let them fall. Her pitiful appearance made people feel sorry for her.
"She's there!"
A loud shout rang out, and the woman tensed up when several men appeared, her gaze towards the prince becoming even more urgent.
"Sir, please save me! They'll beat me to death if I go back."
The woman's fear was undisguised, and the crown prince felt a pang of tenderness at her gaze.
"Don't be afraid, come up first."
After the woman finished speaking, she disregarded her dirty clothes and quickly climbed into the carriage, trembling and cowering behind the prince.
At the same time, several burly men also saw the woman and hurriedly ran over, shouting, "You little bitch, come here right now!"
The burly man tried to push his way to the front of the carriage, but the woman shook her head in fear, her whole body trembling even more violently.
Just as the burly men approached the carriage, the guards standing beside it all drew their swords.
"Halt! Take another step forward and you will be killed without mercy."
The head guard looked coldly at the few fierce-looking men. The men were taken aback when they saw that the men looked like guards from a large family.
"What? So what if you're an official? Does being an official mean you can just take away other people's slaves?"
The big man didn't know the identities of the people in the carriage, but he also knew that he could not confront them head-on, so he simply resorted to shamelessness.
When the woman heard the burly man call her a slave, she panicked and quickly looked up at the prince. "Young master, I am not their slave. I am the daughter of an honest family. I was kidnapped by them when I went out. I am really not their slave."
The woman shook her head vigorously, as if afraid that the crown prince would abandon her and leave. Two lines of clear tears instantly slid down her already brimming eyes.
Tears washed away the dirt on her face, revealing half of her fair and delicate features. With such flawless skin, the Crown Prince naturally wouldn't believe she was a lowly servant.
"Don't worry, with me here, they won't dare to do anything to you."
The Crown Prince, unusually, didn't refer to himself; this was the first time in all these years that he had heard someone call him "Young Master." Whether it was just his imagination or not, he unexpectedly liked the title.
The prince patted the woman's back reassuringly, not minding that she was dirty. Then, looking at the burly men outside, he said coldly, "This young lady said she doesn't know you. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly. If you dare to block my way, don't blame me for being impolite."
The head of the guards was taken aback when the crown prince said this.
Does Your Highness mean not to reveal your identity? At his position, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he still has to follow the wishes of his master on the surface.
“Young master, leave this to us. It is your appearance that has delayed important matters.”
