Hearing that, the woman instantly burst into tears. “My lord, please have mercy! It was this young lady who was recklessly riding her horse and crashed into my son! My lord…”

“The truth will be clear after a thorough investigation at the High Court,” Davon said lightly, not even sparing the mother and son a glance.

He looked at Priscilla and asked, “What do you think of this arrangement?”

“It should be investigated properly!” Priscilla snorted coldly. “It was their fault for frightening my horse!” She shot a disdainful look at the mother and

son.

Still, having someone stand up for her felt satisfying.

The foul mood she had been in all day, suddenly, was half gone.

Especially when Davon took off his own outer robe and gently draped it over her shoulders.

Around them, countless envious gazes fell on Priscilla.

Even a high and mighty prince treated her so courteously, speaking to her with such a pleasing tone.

From Davon’s respectful attitude, Priscilla finally regained a sliver of the self–confidence that Jessica’s harsh words had stripped away earlier.

Meanwhile, the woman kept begging, “My lord, please, we are innocent… My lord…”

She knew little of the High Court, but she had heard the rumors.

Once a person got dragged there, they were lucky to leave alive, even if they were innocent.

Waldo suppressed his anger and strode up to her, speaking in a low voice. “Davon, the child is so young. How can we send him to the High Court?” He turned to Priscilla, forcing himself to stay calm. “Priscilla, you were in the wrong to ride so recklessly through a crowded street.”

He had chased her all the way here. He discovered her riding skills were even better than he expected, to the point he almost couldn’t catch up.

Of course, he had to slow down for the sake of the people in the streets, but Priscilla had charged ahead recklessly, with no regard for consequences.

He knew from the start that something bad would happen.

Waldo apologized to the lady, “Lady, this is entirely my fault. If I hadn’t been chasing Priscilla, she wouldn’t have accidentally run into you and your

child…”

Priscilla frowned. “Waldo, what nonsense are you spouting? They were the ones who scared my horse!”

“Priscilla!” Waldo cut her off, unwilling to let the argument escalate.

Even though he was a prince, he couldn’t abuse his power against commoners so shamelessly.

Dragging two helpless commoners into the High Court would spark public outrage if word spread.

Waldo swept his gaze over the curious crowd gathering around them. “Today, the streets are bustling. There must be many who saw what Happened Davon, are you sure you want to investigate this?”

Davon’s eyes flickered slightly. He hadn’t really cared about this incident in the first place. He was just doing Priscilla a favor, trying to earn a little goodwill.

“Since this was just a misunderstanding, I’ll take responsibility for it.” he said casually, raising a hand. “Someone, compensate the mother and child generously, and escort them home.”

“Yes, Your Highness!” The guards immediately changed their attitude, offering silver to the terrified woman before quickly ushering her and her son away. The woman snatched the money and fled in a panic, desperate to get away from this disaster.

Davon turned back, smiling as he saw Priscilla’s furious eyes. “Ms. Mcbride, it’s not that I didn’t want to help you…”

He shot a glance at Waldo, leaving the rest unsaid, but the meaning was clear to everyone.

Priscilla gritted her teeth, glaring at Waldo. “You jerk! You really irritating!”
