“I see. You have a pleasant name, Riva.”“Thank you! Can I also know your name, my lady?”“You can just call me Charlotte.”“Okay! Thank you once again, Lady Charlotte! I hope we can see you again next time!”“Hmm. You should go back to your parents now.”“Oh…”Riva, the young boy, lowers her head a little but he quickly looks up and smiles brightly at her.“Then I will go now.”After Riva bows his head in front of Charlotte, he turns around to go back to his parents. But as he did, Charlotte’s expression changed a little. Her eyes are focused on Riva and the little boy who are still busy collecting money from the people who watched their show earlier. Soon, Charlotte called Annie and ask her to come closer.“What is it, my lady?” Annie quietly asked.“Send someone to monitor their movements and tell them to report immediately if they noticed something wrong.” Charlotte replied without looking back at her maid.“Is there something wrong with them?”Charlotte did not reply to it, but h
By just looking at her appearance, that young lady obviously belongs to a rich noble house. But what about it? If they become successful in kidnapping her without leaving any witnesses, they will still gain a lot. Not to mention, that young lady has a beautiful face and a good body. Those sick old men will surely bid a lot of money just to buy that young lady and put her on their bed. But after seeing how she defeated his friend, the man suddenly has doubts in his chest. Is she really an ordinary lady? What if they messed up on the wrong person this time?"Who are you?!" He asked again. "Is it important for you to know who am I?" Charlotte asked him back. "Do you really want to feel regret touching me once you know my identity and get inside the prison?""Shut up! Just answer my damn question!"He cannot calm himself down. The longer he sees that young lady acting calm and collected, the more he feels uneasy and nervous. He really feels like this young lady is acting too mature for
While he was in deep thought, the other man starts attacking General Rovira. The female General tried to deflect his attacks but the sword in her hand flew away. With no weapon in her hand, General Rovira started moving around to avoid his attacks. Her concentration is still obvious in her eyes.Before she can be hurt, General Aster finally stepped out from his hiding place and made a huge slice on the man's back. He only gave him a flesh wound, but it is enough to let him bleed a lot and lose his strength. He still needs him to be alive so that everyone can see the faces of those people who dare to hurt the civilians.Before General Aster can inquire more, the little boy who is hiding in the corner runs towards General Rovira and hugs her waist. He was about to pull the child away but then she stops him. The female General lowers herself until her eyes meet with the little boy's gaze."B-Big sister, sorry... Sorry for bringing a problem to you..." The little boy cried. Big, fat tear
After making sure that Riva's family is now safe, General Rovira ordered the Nocturnus Knights who were patrolling at that time to bring them to an inn with good service and security so they can rest well tonight. All of their expenses will be put on her tab. She also ordered one knight on their side to inform anyone who ignores or looks down on them that they are under her protection and supervision. General Rovira's name is already well-known in their empire and no one dares to openly ignore her or pretend that she doesn't exist.Riva tries to refuse her kindness. He told her that his family is aware of the danger they can face since someone warned them about it a week ago. He also added that it was they who became at ease and lower their guards. But General Rovira is having none of it. She told them the things that happened to them tonight were not their fault. It was they who failed them since they got hurt and almost got kidnapped by those criminals. The female General apologize
After making sure that no one has followed her, Charlotte enters a dark alley for a moment. And when she comes out, her disguises are already gone after removing the ring on her finger. Before leaving the dark alley, she looks around first to double check her surroundings before blending with the people in the plaza. Some of them are looking in her direction seeing her dirty and torn dress but Charlotte paid them no mind. Charlotte goes straight to the fountain where Annie and Sir Lance are already waiting for her. Upon seeing her master, Annie quickly approached Charlotte and put the cloak she was holding around her body. This will help cover the mess on the dress she's wearing. After that, Sir Lance informed her that he already brought a carriage that she can use to go home tonight. Nodding her head, Charlotte enters the carriage and lets out a soft sigh once her back feels the soft foam placed on the backrest of the seat inside."Are you alright, my lady?" Annie asked once the carr
"General Commander... General Valentine... Ugh, General Valentine...?"Rovira slowly blinks her eyes before she focused on Sir Gabriel who is now calling to get her attention. He is holding a stack of papers in his hands. Looking at his face, Rovira can also see a few bruises on his face. Noticing that his General Commander is looking at him, Sir Gabriel stands up straight and waits for his superior to speak.Right now, General Rovira is in her office to finish a few documents that she left unattended for several days. Sir Gabriel is with her to help. After working for three hours straight, they already finished two-thirds of the documents on her desk. It was because Rovira had been working on these documents in secret while she was in the White mansion as Lady Charlotte.A lot of things happened since yesterday. Last night, Countess Rosalyn kept apologizing to her eldest daughter and asking for a second chance. Although Charlotte refused to show her emotions too much, it doesn't mean
"Big sister!" Rovira is surprised to see the little boy who is energetically running towards her. When he reached her, Mifa hugs her waist tightly and shows her a bright smile. Because of the overflowing happiness of the little boy, Rovira cannot help but smile back at him. Her smile is visible since Rovira did not bother wearing a mask today. Soon, a young lad who is trying to catch his breath appears behind them. "Mifa, you should not run like that. It will be rude if they see us—General Commander!" "I can see that you are also doing well, Riva." Because of nervousness, Riva gently pulls Mifa away from Rovira and forced the little boy to bow in front of her with him. Although Mifa pouts his lips, he still follows his big brother's movement. Their parents said they should be respectful of his big sister because she is a noblewoman. "Please forgive our rudeness just now, General Commander. And thank you for meeting us today." Riva said while bowing. "Enough with the formal greet
"P-Please, have mercy...""W-We will n-never do it again...""Please...""H-Help us..."Rovir ignores the pained moans and cries of those people tied in separate chairs inside the ice prison. Only eight people are still alive. The others died just a few seconds ago after the General Commander stabbed her sword into their necks and chests. They were killed brutally but Sir Gabriel, who is standing at the corner and waiting for his General's orders, thinks those people are very lucky to die early at this point.As for the remaining eight people alive, they will surely suffer more now that General Commander Rovira personally visited them. No one can stop her now even if Sir Gabriel tries to ask him not to kill them. And besides, the Vice General thinks his neck is more important than these vicious criminals."P-Please, give mercy to us! W-We will never do it again.""W-We will change... Just let u-us go...""Please don't hurt us! I-I don't want to die yet!""J-Just let us go. We a-are go
