Chapter 495 Visiting nobles (11)

That night, I received the report of a proper execution from my assistant.

It was a simple beheading with a proper executioner.

In one swing, it was over for those three rogues.

Apparently, they didn't believe that they would be executed like this since they were certain that they would be freed as adventurers. So in their panic, they started revealing information that would be damning to Viscount Teomold.

But before they could reveal anything too damning, their mouths were stuffed by the executioners and they were killed.

There was no doubt that there would be conflict between the Adventurer Guild and Viscount Teomold from now on, but that wasn't my problem.

What I cared more about was the information that the assistant brought back about Viscount Teomold's crimes.

It wasn't that incriminating, but it definitely could be used since it would give us a few leads to follow up on.

The next morning, we were setting off.

We weren't heading back to our territory yet, but rather heading to the territory of another noble that Rose had contacted previously.

This noble wasn't a part of Viscount Teomold's group, so I was interested to see what kind of noble Rose had contacted.

At the very least, it wouldn't be worse than Viscount Teomold.

To my surprise, this noble's territory wasn't that far from Viscount Teomold's.

It was practically right next to it, but there was a small barony in between them. However, when it came to territory disputes, this small barony served as nothing more than a buffer zone for them.

In truth, it could be said that this noble was considered Viscount Teomold's rival.

When I found this out, I couldn't help looking at Rose with a strange look, but she just looked back at me with a smile on her face. It was as if she wasn't disturbed at all by this and that she was proud of what she did.

Was she that kind of person?

Slowly, her expression changed as she looked at me.

Rose looked right into my eyes and slowly said, "I'm alright."

This time, it was my turn to be surprised since I could see that she understood what I meant.

After a long silence, she said, "This is a part of me and I accept that. It has been there inside of me the entire time, so I am just embracing what I am. You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine with who I am."

I just silently stared at her for a bit before slowly giving a nod.

I had been worried that she would be affected by all of this since she had shown distress when she found that her former husband had cursed her.

I was worried that it would have a negative impact on her knowing that there might be side effects to breaking this curse.

But it seemed that I had been worried for nothing.

In fact, it seemed that I had underestimated Rose.

She was fully aware of the changes with herself, but she had chosen to accept them since she knew that this was a part of who she was.

It seemed that she was much stronger than I gave her credit for.

I should reflect on this in the future.

Haley, who had been silent on the side, suddenly came forward and hugged Rose to say, "I like who you are too."

Rose revealed a faint smile and hugged her back before saying, "I like you too."

A warm smile appeared on my lips seeing the two of them like this.

I was worried for nothing, she would be fine.

So now it was time to focus on what would come next...

Unlike Viscount Teomold, the next noble that we were visiting was one that had earned his title instead of inheriting it.

He was a knight that had earned his title after many years on the battlefield.

I wondered how different he would be compared to Viscount Teomold.The source of this content can be connected to n0v3lb!n★
