Chapter 793 Rose’s plan
When we left, we took the wyverns.
I wanted to go with a horse carriage, but it seemed like Rose wanted to travel by wyvern.
Though I felt that this might be a bit too much for her parents.
At the same time, it was better to keep a low profile since the fourth prince told me to keep a low profile.
However, for some reason, Rose seemed insistent that we take these wyverns.
It wasn't as if she had never ridden on the back of a wyvern before, so I couldn't understand why she was so insistent on going by wyvern.
At the same time, she was insisting that Cecilia ride with us, so the three of us were together. There was no one else that was allowed on the same wyvern as us as everyone else flew on their own wyverns around us.
When we were in the air, Rose finally told me why she insisted on all of this.
"When we get to my father's territory, these will be our roles."
Both Cecilia and I were surprised by these words from her.
After all, before we left, she seemed like she was worried about her family and now...it seemed like she was plotting against her family. It was as if the side of her that she showed before was all fake.
Rose could see the way that I was looking at her, so she said, "It's just that I've calmed down and gathered myself. I was worried earlier, but you assured me that it'll all be fine, so I'll believe that."
I was surprised again at how much she trusted me, but I didn't say anything as I just gave a simple nod in response.
Rose continued by saying, "Besides, now that I've calmed down and thought about it, I know that there's one thing that I want to do. Just in case this is all a trick, I want to make sure that I don't have any plans at all. I don't want to regret anything, so I'll make sure that I can make things go the way that I want."
Seeing the way that she said this and the look in her eyes, both Cecilia and I were a bit afraid of her.
It really made the world seem small, especially when the people down there looked as small as ants.
...
Three days later, we arrived in the territory of Rose's father.
This wasn't because it was far away, but because...she wanted to catch him off guard.
She didn't send a letter as soon as we left our town and since we left on the wyverns, she was certain that the person that her father sent to watch the town wouldn't know. At the same time, she had someone send a letter by horse when we came close to her father's territory.
So we had actually been waiting nearby for the letter to arrive.
That way, we would be able to catch them off guard.
When we arrived, there were people that came forward to point their weapons at us.
They naturally didn't expect us, so naturally they would point their weapons as the wyverns that suddenly appeared. However, it was very clear that they were very scared of our wyverns.
These soldiers were nothing more than simple guards in the middle of the countryside that had never seen any real action. They couldn't compare to the soldiers on the frontline that had seen all kinds of warfare.
Not to mention, even those soldiers on the frontline would be scared when they saw wyverns arrive.
So it wasn't strange that they had this reaction when they saw us.
Rose stepped forward on Joan's back and said, "Who do you think you're pointing your weapons at? I am Duchess Rose, the count's daughter! I was told that my father was ill and I even sent a letter stating that I would be visiting! Are you saying that I'm not welcome?"
Since they were soldiers that worked for the count family, they had naturally seen Rose's portrait before and recognized her.
When they saw her, none of the soldiers knew what to do.
