Chapter 12 Knight Captain (1)
Looking at this female knight, Madame Rose said with a smile, "Captain Cecilia, I wanted to talk to you."
The female knight Cecilia was caught off guard when she heard this, but then she asked, "Madame, what did you want to talk about?"
Madame Rose said with the same smile, "It's a private matter, so I was wondering if we could discuss it in private."
All the guards who had piqued their ears to listen to this conversation jolted when they heard this. They all quickly turned their eyes away and pretended like they didn't hear anything.
Cecilia narrowed her eyes to look at them before saying, "All of you can go run fifty laps."
The jaws of all the guards dropped when they heard this.
They looked at Cecilia with unwilling looks, but faced with the stern look that she had on her face, they had no choice but to listen to her.
So they all ran off to the field to run fifty laps.
Of course, not a single one of them dared to show their dissatisfaction and just ran with their full devotion.
As they headed off, there were a few of them who looked back. Their eyes were looking right at Cecilia and the look in their eyes made it clear what they were thinking.
After they had been sent off, Cecilia brought me and Madame Rose into the building before bringing us out the back. We continued along a path until we came to a smaller building that was further away from the main building.
When we came in and I saw how the room was decorated, I knew that this was her private office.
Cecilia sat down at the desk before gesturing to the sofa and table in front of the desk for us to sit down on.
Once we were all seated, she looked at Madame Rose and waited for her to speak.
Madame Rose revealed a beautiful smile before saying, "Cece, I need your help."
Cecilia couldn't help being taken aback when she heard this before she couldn't help knitting her brows.
Cecilia was someone who had served Madame Rose's family before coming here to become the knight captain for the baron. So it could be said that she was Madame Rose's childhood friend.
But it had been a long time since Madame Rose had addressed her like this.
After all, they were now both adults who had important positions. They couldn't just go back to the way that they were before.
So for Madame Rose to address her like this...It must mean that something very bad must have happened.
Cecelia looked at me with those knitted brows, but she still didn't say anything. However, it was clear what she was implying with that look in her eyes.
Madame Rose also understood and said, "He's mine, so he won't ever betray me."
Cecilia had a trace of doubt in her eyes, but since Madame Rose had spoken, she didn't say anything else. After looking at Madame Rose with narrowed eyes for a bit, she finally said with a sigh, "Ro Ro, what is it?" 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐨𝗿𝗴
Even if they were now adults and they both had important positions, Madame Rose was still her childhood friend who she cared about, so she couldn't just ignore her.
Madame Rose looked right at her and said without any hesitation, "My husband is a demon worshiper and he's planning on framing me for the beast wave."
"Huh?" Cecilia's chin dropped down and she couldn't close them as she stared at Madame Rose with wide eyes filled with shock. There was a clear look of confusion on her face as if she couldn't understand what she had just said.
She tried to close her mouth several times, but it just kept opening and closing as if she didn't know what to say.
After a long period of silence, Cecilia finally recovered enough to say, "Ro Ro, what kind of a joke is this?"
Madame Rose shook her head and said, "It's not a joke."
Cecilia once again couldn't say anything as she looked right at Madame Rose, as if she was trying to read her. However, she couldn't see a single thing that was off with Madame Rose.
So instead of looking at Madame Rose, she turned to look at me with sharp eyes.
It was clear by the look in her eyes that she was blaming me. She thought that I was manipulating Madame Rose in some way that was making her act this way, but I wasn't in the end.
When she couldn't find anything from me either, she finally said with a sigh, "Ro Ro, tell me that you have some proof at least. You can't just make claims like this without any proof."
Madame Rose revealed a smile and she told Cecilia everything that had happened.
This was also my first time hearing this.
She had only told me that the Lord Baron was a demon worshiper and what his plans were, but she had never told me why she thought this.
It turned out that she had found letters between the Lord Baron and the demon order, detailing their plans. This was found in the Lord Baron's private study, so there was no mistaking them.
At the same time, she had also found a dagger that was filled with demon magic in the same drawer, so she was certain that these were real.
After hearing all of this, Cecilia couldn't help asking, "Could it be that the Lord Baron is being framed?"
Madame Rose shook her head and said, "From the very beginning, that man never touched me since our wedding night. It's clear that he only married me to use me as a tool for his plans."
Cecilia wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
I also felt very uncomfortable being there since I never knew that this was the relationship between the Lord Baron and Madame Rose.
Seeing that neither of us said a thing, Madame Rose looked at Cecilia and said, "Cece, how is your sex life?"
