Chapter 1021 Wayne wasn't reassured and continued to advise Yuvan.

"Your Highness, once your ambitions are realized, there will be no shortage of women for you to choose from. When that tcomes, you might find Violet no different from anyone else." "That's enough." Yuvan's expression darkened.

After uttering those words, an unexpected wave of frustration surged within him. It wasn't something he could control-the feeling swelled, crashing over him like a tidal wave until it spilled out.

"I have lived a simple, restrained life these years. I've kept my desires in check, suppressing my nature and not allowing any mistakes to show. It's not like I haven't been tempted over the years, but I ignored all of it because I knew indulging in pleasures would ruin everything. But Violet Spencer is different. She's the first woman I've desired who also happens to be useful. She's the perfect candidate to helpachieve my goals." Wayne was both alarmed and furious at Yuvan's outburst. For the first time, he raised his voice in a harsh reprimand.

"Your Highness, are you saying you have feelings for Violet? That you're in love with her? If that's what you believe, lettell you-it's not love. It's just a flimsy excuse to justify despicable behavior. It's nothing more than lust, dressed up as affection. If you truly cared for her, you wouldn't be plotting to ruin her reputation. I've even told you the drug could be fatal, yet you didn't hesitate for a second." Yuvan's face flushed with anger at being so bluntly confronted. Embarrassed and enraged, he threw caution to the wind.

"Fine! So what if I do have those thoughts? And how dare you calldespicable? How many men out there have multiple wives and concubines, and still keep mistresses? Compared to them, I've lived an ascetic life! Do you need to make a big deal out of one or two instances? Remember your place. You're just my strategist! What I choose to do is none of your business." "Your Highness!" Wayne didn't back down, and his voice grew colder. "If your aspirations are merely to pursue women and indulge in fleeting desires, then I want no part to play in your future: I wish you all the best. I hope your ambitions ctrue and your future is bright." The room fell into an oppressive silence.

Yuvan's expression alternated between shades of red and white, but he managed to hold back his anger and soften his tone.

Perhaps the string of failures since arriving in the capital has putin a foul mood, which madethink of this as a way to relieve myself. It's just a woman, after all. If you disapprove, then I won't dwell on it any further." Wayne knew his words risked offending Yuvan, but he pressed on earnestly.

"If I were completely opposed, Your Highness, I wouldn't have provided the drug in the first place. I only hope that you remain clear-headed and rational at all times. Violet is a tool to be used. Even if you take her body, it must only be for the sake of your grand ambitions-not because of fleeting lust ignited by her beauty. Lust is a whirlpool, Your Highness. It will drag you down and leave you with nothing." Yuvan was seething with humiliation and rage. He never imagined that his first argument with Wayne would be over something like this.

He held his tongue, suppressing the urge to lash out, and left without another word.

Molly and Fiona had already welcomed the guests inside. They were chatting and laughing in the main hall, but the atmosphere was growing increasingly awkward.

The tension arose because Molly kept undercutting every remark Fiona made. At the door earlier, Molly had felt disrespected. She was also worried that Violet might have overheard it would hurt her standing as Yuvan's princess consort. So now, she seized every opportunity to make veiled jabs, trying to restore her pride while venting her anger.

Despite her usual composure, Fiona barely managed to not lose her temper. It wouldn't have been too bad if they were all women, but the Hell Monarch was sitting right there. The two of them bickering like petty housewives in front of such guests was beyond disgraceful. Luckily, the awkwardness didn't last long.

After a short while, a servant announced, "Prince Yuvan has arrived." The group rose from their seats as Yuvan strode in, his demeanor regal and commanding.

"Apologies for intruding on you today, Uncle Yuvan," Rafael said.

Yuvan smiled, stepping forward to pat Rafael on the shoulder. "I've om visited your estate so many times, but you're always too busy to meet with me. For a while, I thought you might be upset with me."

As he spoke, his gaze drifted lightly over Violet. Her face, free of makeup, faceful in looked naturally beautiful in a pure, untouched way that was simply captivating.
