Chapter 796 Count Amboise

Chapter 796 Count Amboise

The manor that they lived in was like the manor of the other nobles that I had met.

It was clear that they cared very much about their appearance with the size of their manor.

Though walking through their town, it didn't seem like their management of their people was that bad. It seemed that there was a balance between caring about their people and putting on appearances.

So they weren't the worst nobles that I had met and they weren't the best.

They were right in the middle, they were just considered normal.

When we arrived at the manor, there was a beautiful woman that came forward to greet us.

This beautiful blonde haired woman looked just like Rose even if she had blonde hair and even though she seemed a bit older, she seemed more like a sister rather than a mother.

Right, a mother.

That was because this was Rose's mother, Lily.

Both the mother and daughter seemed to be named after flowers, was it some kind of tradition or was it something else?

Though that really wasn't something that I should be thinking of.

When Rose's mother came down, the first thing that she did was take Rose in her arms and give her a big hug.

Judging by the wide smile that was on Rose's face, it seemed that she was happy to see her mother as well. It seemed that the two of them were quite close with how long they hugged and even though they eventually separated, she didn't move that far away from Rose.

That was until her eyes fell onto Cecilia.

With a wide smile, she stepped forward to take Cecilia in her embrace as well.

Rose kept pushing by asking, "Just what?"

Lily gave a cough to hide her awkwardness even though it was hard to hide it on that face before saying, "Your father was ill a while ago, but he just recovered. There's nothing for you to worry about."

Rose narrowed her eyes after hearing this before saying, "Mother, you were the one that sent me those letters about father in the first place. Are you really saying that there's nothing to worry about now?"

Lily trembled when she saw her daughter staring at her like this before eventually saying with a bitter smile, "Come upstairs and talk to him then. Your father is working in his study."

Rose gave a nod before following her up.

Behind them came me, Henry, Cecilia, and Shaka.

There was a look that Henry shot Shaka as if he wanted him to stay, but Shaka's presence was more than enough to make him back down. At the same time, I didn't say anything about Shaka being here, so he couldn't say anything.

When we came up to the study, we found a stern looking red haired man sitting there at the desk.

His desk was covered in papers and he seemed to be lost in thought as he stared at them.

When he heard the sound of the door opening, he said, "What is it?"

Lily just said with a faint smile, "It's your daughter."

The red haired man was surprised to hear this before looking up to see us standing there at the door.

He looked at me and Rose for a bit before giving a nod and saying, "Sit for a bit, let me finish this."

I didn't need anyone to introduce me to know that this person was Count Louis Amboise, Rose's father.

The way that he worked was just like the way that she worked, he wouldn't stop until he was done with what he was doing.

After a few minutes, he finally put away the pieces of paper in front of him and looked up at Rose to ask, "What is it?"
