111 Chapter 111: Change of Plans (1/2)

”Surely you jest?” Ahri spoke with a higher octave than normal, it was clear that Caesar's question had caught her off guard.

Caesar tapped his chin with his index finger, ”perhaps not a daughter, but at the very least, I will become her godfather… as I promised, I will give her a life worth living” Caesar said with a strange gleam in his eyes.

”Wait, wait, hold on a second, who are you even referring to? I'm confused” Ahri couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion.

”The assassin that had infiltrated your room a few nights ago, to get her to align with us, I promised her a better life compared to what she had prior, naturally, at the cost of some information” Caesar explained.

Ahri massaged her forehead with the palm of her hands, ”are you sure that's a good idea? What if she gives you false information, how can you trust her?”

Caesar's expression darkened as he squinted his eyes, ”I pride myself in being able to see through someone's character, however, if I do find out that she still holds loyalty to her previous master… I will personally dispose of her” a light smile suddenly appeared on his face as he continued.

”Alas, that would be the worst case scenario, I don't believe she is a bad person, in fact, I would even go to say that she has wanted to subconsciously leave her master for a long time now. If not, she would've killed herself whilst in the jail cell, or at the very least, killed that human soldier stuck in there with her”

Ahri shook her head with a wry smile, ”I suppose you're right, but please be careful. I would join you, but I have my duties as Empress, mainly the work that my grandfather is too lazy to complete” she said with a disgruntled tone and tidied up her clothes.

Seeing her regretful expression, Caesar gently pat her head for a few moments before walking out of the door… Once he exited, he immediately took off the kimono she gave him and put on a more western raven black suit, it sported a long overcoat with two silver chains draped from his right shoulder to his left.

The guards at the side had their mouths wide open in bewilderment, ”e-esteemed strategist, why are you stripping all of a sudden?” one of them gained the courage to ask.

”Ah, you know, relationship things” Caesar replied curtly to which both guards nodded their heads with an understanding look.

”We completely understand, don't worry, your secret is safe with us!”

Caesar raised his eyes and looked at both of the guards, he had a strange suspicion that they may have misunderstood something, alas, he didn't care enough to correct them… once he finished changing, he quickly headed toward the jail cells where Ronny and the girl were located.

Caesar passed the long corridors and soon, that gloomy room with dim lit torches entered his line of sight, he walked by the neatly arranged jail cells with steady steps until he arrived in front of the last one.

The cell door was still open, as Caesar had left it… he walked inside and scanned the room, however, what he saw, no, what he didn't see, caused the temperature to drop a few degrees.

The assassin girl was nowhere to be seen and just Ronny, who was loudly snoring was left in the room.The smile on Caesar's face froze as he approached Ronny and nudged him with his feet.

”Hmm, huh, oh, M-Marshall, I mean, Mr strategist, what do you need of this lowly servant?” Ronny's drowsiness vanished once he saw Caesar's cold face, this was the same face he had when he 'trained' that crown prince… Just the thought of it made Ronny shiver in fear.

”When did the woman leave”? Caesar asked.

”H-huh? A few guards came in here and took her away, she tried resisting at first, but once they told her that you were the one who ordered it, she stopped resisting” Ronny stuttered while telling the story, even an idiot was capable of realizing that Caesar didn't order anything.

”When did this happen, and why did they not do anything to you?” Caesar asked coldly.

”I-it happened about an hour ago, I-I was faking my sleep, s-so they didn't pay any attention to me,” Ronny said.

Caesar crouched down and became eye level with Ronny, ”If I find out you're lying to me… you know the consequences, right?”
