Chapter 173: Chapter 125 Asina’s Yearning for Guidance (1)_3

Still advocating for himself at this time, if Lord Jie Luo hadn’t spoken before, perhaps he would have developed a slight fondness for him.

Of course, compared to Lord Jie Luo, he wasn’t even worthy to carry his shoes.

However, in light of his assistance this time in extricating her, it wouldn’t hurt to give him a little reward in the future.

This kind of man, just a little bit of seduction, and he would immediately come running eagerly like a dog...

Asina’s gaze, on the other hand, was somewhat pitying... Poor man, still speaking up for Rose Vesper, you have no idea who Catherine and Rose Vesper are, or even that they’re plotting to kill you behind your back, do you?

Such a pitiful man.

Since there was the more pressing matter of Karsas to attend to, and with Qin Chu speaking on her behalf, Rose Vesper and Catherine quietly took Qin Chu away from the Imperial City and covered up the massacre of the Holy Knights by Karsas, merely receiving a cursory reprimand.

Nadia too was warned that she must intervene if she encountered such a situation again.

At noon, Augustus hosted everyone, but having witnessed too many bloody beheadings earlier, hardly anyone had an appetite.

Qin Chu didn’t leave until mid-afternoon.

He hadn’t gone far when hurried footsteps sounded from behind. It was Rose Vesper, who was quickly catching up while lifting the hem of her dress with both hands.

"Mr. Brave..."

The soft and enchanting call made Qin Chu stop in his tracks.

Approaching Qin Chu, Rose Vesper’s delicate, pale hand gently caressed her chest, which involuntarily rose due to the hastened pace, her fairness beneath the pure white Saintess costume drawing Qin Chu’s gaze like a magnet.

It always felt as if the neckline of Rose Vesper’s Saintess costume was lower than before, or maybe it was just Qin Chu’s imagination.

The look in Qin Chu’s eyes filled Rose Vesper with satisfaction. Even though there were Angelica, Nadia, and even the brusque Violet by the Hero’s side, as long as she was willing to show just a bit of seduction, the Hero’s focus would instantly center on her.

She, Saintess Rose Vesper, was not of the same caliber as those vulgar women.

With triumphant thoughts whirling in her mind, Rose Vesper’s expression remained as gentle as ever, "Mr. Brave, thank you for speaking on my behalf before the Pope..."

Qin Chu struggled to pull his gaze away from the whiteness and then shook his head in a gentlemanly manner, "Holy Daughter, I did not advocate for you. I merely spoke the truth."

Rose Vesper smiled softly, pleased with Qin Chu’s response:

"By the way, why did you shout earlier?"

Her voice was sweetly whining, carrying a bit of peevishness, as if she held some resentment towards Qin Chu for yelling earlier. If only Qin Chu had remained silent then, many things wouldn’t have happened.

Qin Chu’s expression seemed somewhat aggrieved, yet he silently gazed at Rose Vesper, and that look caused Rose Vesper’s heart to inexplicably race.

After a long while, Qin Chu finally pulled back his gaze with a hint of desolation, "When I heard Augustus questioning Karsas, Holy Daughter, you instinctively looked at me..."

"I have always abided by our agreement, yet Holy Daughter, you have never trusted me."

"It’s very saddening."

He had absolutely kept his promise to Rose Vesper; after all, he did not tell Augustus that Karsas was the culprit. He only wrote a small note. People wrote small notes every day in this world—it was not a crime.

Telling Asina the truth was Jie Luo’s doing, what did it have to do with him, Qin Chu?

Such an honor-bound gentleman, truly moving.

Leaving behind these words, the heartbroken Qin Chu left without looking back, resolute in his departure!

After a brief hesitation, Asina also followed from a distance; tonight, she planned to seek out Jie Luo again, longing for his guidance.
