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
"You look tired.""And you look ugly.""That's rude. Do you want me to put you inside the jail?""As if you can do it.""Well, fair point."General Commander Valentine enters the Crown Prince's office and sits on the sofa. She let out a sigh before rolling her neck. Prince Marius sits on the vacant chair next to her. When he snaps his fingers, the curtains on his windows close."You cannot use your magic anytime," she warned him."I know, I know. I am just too lazy to stand up and close it by myself." Prince Marius defended himself. "Anyway, you can remove your ring in the meantime."When the General Commander did not say anything, the Crown Prince let out a sigh."Don't worry. No one will dare to enter my office without my permission. I just want to feel relaxed. That's all."The female General stares at him for a moment. But she soon shakes her head before removing the ring on her thumb. In an instant, her chestnut hair and onyx eyes return to their original colors. After that, she
Fourteen years ago, four out of fifteen children were separated from the group. The people who abducted those children congratulated the four saying they were different from the others. After that, these four children were temporarily locked inside an old building.These children were Charlotte White, Aster Castella, Prince Marius Iryl Demitria, and his twin sister, Princess Andrea Violyn Demitria.The royal twins were kidnapped while they sleeping. At that time, Emperor Halil and Empress Veronica were not in the castle because he was visiting the other empire. It turned out their nanny collaborated with the kidnappers and put sleeping pills on their dinner before they had gone to sleep. When they woke up, the twins were already tied with the other children.Aster Castella, the only son of their Grand Duke, was also abducted. According to him, Aster joined his father to learn how to hunt in the forest when he got lost. Soon, people dressed in black appeared out of nowhere and hit him
When Prince Marius woke up, he discovered they were inside a clean room. Each one of them has its own bed. There was also a huge table in the middle of the room filled with delicious food. And that made the prince suspicious.It's because that place was a far cry from the old laboratory where they locked them for months. When he looked around, Prince Marius saw his twin sister and Aster were still sleeping on their beds. Fortunately, their conditions were good and it was obvious they had plenty of rest. But before he could let out a relieved sigh, Prince Marius noticed that someone was still missing in their room.It was Charlotte. Without thinking, the prince frantically knocked on the metal door to get their kidnappers' attention. He remembered the deal that Charlotte had proposed to those men in exchange for their safety. The prince did not stop hitting the door until his knuckles bled. Soon, someone opened the door and brought Charlotte inside the room.Prince Marius will never
