Henry was surprised to hear this before his eyes lit up even more as he said, "Brother in law, can I really?" This time, Lily was also worried. After all, seeing the wyverns and riding the wyverns were completely different. If something were to happen, it would be too late to do anything when the time came. So she wanted to say something to stop Henry before he could say anything else. It was just too bad that the count grabbed her by the shoulder. When Lily looked back at the count, she found…

When morning came, we came down with smiles on our faces. It was as if the tension from yesterday didn't exist at all. Lily and Henry were happy to see this, though there was a trace of something else in Henry's eyes when he saw the three of us come down together. It was something that seemed to be aimed at Cecilia... But he had learned his lesson from yesterday and learned how to hide it before we came over. Of course, I didn't miss it since my attention had been on him the entire time. As for…

Dinner was a somber affair since the matters between Rose and her parents hadn't been cleared up. Lily tried her best to keep the mood light, but it was clear that no one was in the mood for it. So after dinner, we all went to our own rooms. They had tried to put Cecilia in a different room, no doubt this was because of Henry, but she just came to our room without a care. It was as if she was already familiar with this manor, but that wasn't strange since she was Rose's childhood friend in the…

Count Amboise looked at me with a complicated look before saying, "It's hard when one of your children is too capable." I was surprised to hear this since this certainly wasn't what I had been expecting to hear. After all, isn't it a good thing if one's child was capable? Count Amboise then said with a sigh, "Since one of them was too capable, I couldn't help spoiling the other to feel normal. I know that this isn't the right thing to do, but I just couldn't help myself…" My brows slightly…

In the end, it was up to me to diffuse the situation since there was no one else that was qualified. At the same time, I could see the subtle looks that Rose was giving me. I knew that she also wanted me to do this. After all, the plan was to stay in the first place and take care of her family. If we were to leave just like this, there was no telling what they would have done in the future. Instead, it was better to stay here and manipulate them into doing what we wanted them to do. It was…

Rose was surprised to hear this at first before saying with a bitter look, "I think I should be the one that's asking you this. You're the one that summoned me back by saying that you're sick." Count Amboise narrowed his eyes for a bit as if he had to think about this before turning to look at Henry. Henry turned away when he saw Count Amboise looking at him like this. Count Amboise remained silent as he kept staring at Henry before turning back to say, "Right, your father was ill, so he wanted…

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…

Henry and the rest of his men were shocked to hear this. After all, they never thought that I would suddenly speak up for them. In the first place, we weren't even related other than me being married to Rose. His own biological sister was treating him that way and here I was speaking up for him. It really was a strange feeling seeing this… But Henry remained silent as he waited to see what would happen next. Rose narrowed her eyes to look at me and the two of us just looked at each other for…

The soldiers just looked at each other in a daze in response to Rose's accusation. It was a good thing that the captain of this group was able to react in the end. He quickly came forward and gave a bow before saying, "My lady, we've never heard of any of this before. If you would just give us a bit of time, we'll go and confirm this with our superiors, as well as bring your family over to see you." Then after a pause, he boldly said, "If you would come with us, we could also bring you to see your…

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…
