Chapter 267: The Regret of Veronica

After seeing the barrack, strangely, all of the carriages headed that way. However, before the carriages took a step further, the mercenaries seem discussed something with Vesta, which made their movements was halted.

*knock*

As soon Desmond heard the knocking sound, he already knew it was the mercenaries. He glanced at his maids and gestured them to clean the room.

"Please wait," Laura shouted from inside while she began to raise the storage chest and put that down below her bed. Meanwhile, Annie was seen cleaning the dirty plates and glass that were on the table.

After a few minutes of cleaning, Laura finally pulled up the door and greeted Ray and Veronica.

"We came to say goodbye to master Desmond," Ray was the first one who opened his mouth to speak. Therefore making Veronica looking at him strangely.

"I see. Thanks for your hard work. I'll inform master Desmond. He still sleeping because yesterday he was too excited reading many books at once." Laura replied and then bowed to them. At the same time, from the corner of her eyes, she also glanced at Veronica for a moment.

She then gave a broad smile toward Ray and his mercenaries. They really fulfilled their promise and did not take any extras benefits even though her young master prepared to bribe them.

....

It's rare to found this kind of people among the selfish mercenaries nowadays.

"Why don't you and your members enjoy the meal we prepared?" Laura invited, she still smiled even though when she felt his members gazed lecherous at her body.

"Thanks for the invitation, but I'm sorry we must refuse." When Ray said those words, the expression of his members fell into disappointment.

They even glared at the blockhead Ray for a moment and eventually shake their head simultaneously.

"Then I'll take my leave," Ray continued with his expressionlessness. Although their contract was only a master and guard relationship, he already informed him about his departure and fulfilled his duty as guardian in this mission.

There is no need to extender their relationships. Desmond's identity was too important to this kingdom.

The last step he should do is to head to the Guild and confirmed the mission status. After all, this was a private mission handed personally by Guild without posting it on the board.

As for Veronica, Ray glanced and observed her for a moment before finally turned around and head to the Guild in this city.

After seeing Ray's departure with his mercenaries, Veronica, who was waiting for this moment, finally opened her mouth," I-I ca-mme here because of the agreem-ment with master Desmond." She spoke in trembled.

She just came to know and witness that the Corps of Teleknights really did not benefit from the extra work they do, unlike her mercenaries.

Veronica was ashamed and embarrassed. Although Ray did not know their agreement still, she felt like he could stare deep into her body.

Did she regret it? Yes, but what could she do? The agreement had been made, and if not for that, her members would not participate in helping him clear the path.

When she thought about this, she smiled wryly in her mind.

"I know. Please come in." The smile on Laura's face faded, replaced by indifference when looking at Veronica. She opened the door wide and let Veronica in before immediately shut the door.

Unlike Ray and his mercenaries, Veronica came alone. Making the thing became easier.

As soon Veronica entered, she was amazed by how vast the room inside the carriage was. Although she knew some rich people would buy this type of carriage, this is still the first time she sees it directly with her eyes.

"Please take a seat, Ms. Veronica," On the other hand, Desmond was currently sitting with a cup of tea in his right hand and looking at the bewildered Veronica.

She was dumbfounded looking at him. Her maids said he is...

She glanced at his maids and found them tightly shut their mouths.

"Hello, master Desmond." Veronica smiled awkwardly and sat across him. In front of her, only another cup of empty glass was seen without any other food present.

This is what I get? Although she was upset with the preparation, she still remembers coming here and shamelessly demanded the agreement.

Her anger vanished, and she now feels guilty for him but could not make it up. Remembering the expression of her members waiting for her arrival, she shook her head.

Really? Should I abandon the mercenaries? Veronica thought all of her members were displaying their greed even though they still mourn their friend's death.

Although she knew the mercenaries were known for their selfishness, she could not help but feel sad. The friend she has had changed.

Maybe it's only me? When she fell in thought deeper about her friends, she became sorrowful. However, she should fulfill her duty as a leader.

"Let make a quick, " Desmond spoke. From the corner of his view, he could see a grey dot coming to his carriage from the direction of Vesta's carriage.

Desmond glanced at Laura, and the latter nodded while carrying a bag of coins.

*thump*

When Veronica saw the small bag of coins, she frowned. However, upon opening the bag, she was shocked to the core. Her eyes widen and looking at Desmond and his maids repeatedly.

"Take it, fast," Desmond remained indifferent and replied, hurry.

Without courtesy, she took the bag and shoved it into her pocket. She also noticed his expression and immediately stood," Thank you very much, master Desmond." She spoke, only one sentence came out of her mouth even though there were many words she wants to speak.

She is really shameless and thick-skinned. As the previous guardian of his sister, if Alice knew her behavior, she must be disappointed in her.

Feeling with regret, Veronica immediately took her to leave without saying goodbye.

"Puff," Desmond let out a sigh of relief. When he noticed the gray dot on the map already back away, he was glad. He did not know who is that, but judging from the direction he comes, they must be suspicious about his carriage.

Before he criticized the family for why they blocked the path for normal people to pass, yet right now, he was doing the same.

They came just because they did not expect this to take a long time, only to say goodbye.

How troublesome, how could he know that mercenaries were in a hurry to finish their mission? Plus, the Steel Legion blatantly asking their compensation in the middle of the road.

Come on, we did not do a sprint here! Desmond thought and complained inwardly toward their behavior. He was really ashamed because of them; Vesta was waiting for him for a long time.

Their reputation for selfishness was really proved in this situation
