Chapter 220 (2/2)

When I climbed into the wagon with Sir League and arrived at the neighborhood of my house, I told the horseman where to head.

Sir League, who remained silent until the wagon changed its direction, asked carefully after getting out in the commoners district in the northeastern capital.

“My lady, what are you going to do here in the commoners district?”

“Well, actually, I have been shadowing Countess Dias. I’ve heard an interesting rumor about her recently. ”

I had to tip him off on the story, just in case. Looking cautiously around, I began to explain quietly.

“This is a rumor circulating among the lower nobles. It is rumored that the successor of the Dias family was born through her extramarital affair. It looks like such a rumor is getting around because her son doesn’t look like the earl. Besides, the earl was old.”

“Hmm. So what? ”

“You know, Earl Dias and his wife are known as a very happy couple. So, I dug into them a bit, and found out something suspicious about her. The place I’m now going to is her secret meeting place, but I don’t know if I can spot her there.”

“I see. By the way, why do you care? I don’t think you are doing it just because you are curious…”

“Shush! Wait a minute.”

As I saw the red roof of a house at a distance, I put my index finger on my lips and monitored the surroundings of the house. I couldn’t see clearly due to the streets, but it was certain that there was somebody there, given the light leaking out of the window.

According to Baron Carot, it was usually an empty house. Was half of my goal achieved already?

I quickly explained with a satisfied smile, “You asked me why I was shadowing her. It’s because her son’s father was presumed to be the black rose bud. ”

“… Really? Are you sure?” He asked back urgently, with his eyes wide open.

After giving him precautions, I continued, “We might have to use force. So, please pay attention. Got it?”

Sir League nodded heavily.

After exchanging eye signals with him for a moment, I headed for the red roof house with him.

As if Countess Dias wanted to keep her secret to as few as possible, there were only a few keeping the house. I and Sir League knocked out a couple of them who seemed to be a servant and a maid, then headed for the place where the lights came out.

Touching his ear to the door quietly, he whispered, “My lady, please stay here. Let me go in first.”

“Pardon? But…”

“… It is not a scene you want to see. So, please come in after a while. ”

“Ah yes.”

I blushed and stepped back, covering my face with hands. Smiling at me gently, he moved one step closer to the door.

Bang!

“Oh my God!”

“Who the hell are you?”

I heard the sound of the door crashing, followed by a woman’s screaming and an astonished man’s voice.

“You bastard! How dare you come into this place…!”

“I don’t care. Why don’t put on your clothes first? It’s disgusting to see you naked like this.”

When Sir League retorted sarcastically, the man shouted with an angry voice, “Do you think you can survive after storming this place? Get lost right away!”

“Tut, tut. You are the successor of the duke family. You’re so slow in assessing the situation. You can’t afford to punish me now. Anyway, put on your clothes first. Someone is outside to see you.”

“Dang it…’

I heard him making a suppressed moan and putting on his clothes slowly.

After I waited until the rustling sound stopped, I slowly entered the room. I saw a man and a woman, roughly dressed up, staring at Sir League. The man, who finally noticed me under the light, opened his eyes wide in surprise.

“You must be…!”
