The fourth prince raised his hand when he heard this.
He didn't tell the guards to move away, but he did stop them from doing what they had been about to do. Though the guards had stopped, that didn't mean that they let go of the duke's wife and daughter.
They were still restraining them and even had the swords still pointed at them, as if they would do what they had been planning to do at any moment.
Everything would depend on what Duke Yuletide would say next.
Duke Yuletide had a very ugly look on his face as he looked at the fourth prince, but he still said, "I'll tell you what you want to know."
The fourth prince gave a nod before moving forward, as if he was giving Duke Yuletide a chance to say what he wanted to say.
However, Duke Yuletide tried to move even closer to the fourth prince before being restrained by the guards. He wasn't allowed to move any closer to the fourth prince than this by the guards.
