Chapter 100: Conspiracy

"Miss!"

Les was so happy when she saw Aurora came back intact. Tears streamed out like waterfall and she really wanted to pounce on Aurora if only it was allowed.

However, seeing Aurora’s hands were stained with blood, she felt really distressed.

Aurora raised her head and looked at the knights who have fallen along with the other three knights who were still alive.

"Miss."

The three knights were injured and could only sit up, but they still struggled to greet Aurora.

Looking at their movements that seemed like they wanted to go, Aurora’s eyes were cold. "Les, my sword."

"Ah?" Les was stunned and rushed to the carriage to take Aurora’s sword.

When Aurora was fighting against the bandits and then got kidnapped, the sword fell down from her hand and landed inside the carriage. There was no time for Aurora to take it away and the bandits also didn’t care about a woman’s sword.

After all, Aurora’s sword was somewhat lighter and smaller compared to the other knights. It was designed to suit her height and strength.

Mr. Wren looked confused. "Miss?"

Aurora didn’t explain and after she received the sword, she walked towards the three injured knights in front of her.

"Miss, what are you...."

Slash! Slash! Stab!

Due to their injuries, these three knights couldn’t react at all when Aurora reached them. Their eyes widened in disbelief as Aurora killed them neatly.

Blood splattered and Aurora retracted her bloodied sword.

She turned around and saw the others were looking in her direction with various emotions within their eyes.

William looked in disbelief, Prince Lester was calm and was not perturbed in the slightest bit, Les was dumbfounded, and Mr. Wren looked conflicted.

"There are some people who wants me to die and to do that, they had to start from the inside," Aurora said calmly, not explaining her actions. "If you think my action is not appropriate, you’re free to leave and no longer following me."

Because Aurora knew very well that her path after this might be stained with more blood.

Even if she knew that her every action would affect so many people’s lives, but this was the first time she saw it with her own eyes. And in the future, this kind of scene might even be quite common to the point that people would vomit blood.

So if these four people didn’t want to follow her, Aurora would not stop them.

She trusted them to a certain degree and knew that even if they left, they would not do anything detrimental to her.

Unless they were threatened with something precious to them.

But...

Is there any that could make them betray her?

"No." Prince Lester shook his head almost immediately. He wanted to say that he’s Aurora’s dog as she had claimed. But that kind of status didn’t seem to be suitable to be said out loud in front of others, so he didn’t explain.

He simply looked in Aurora’s direction calmly.

Aurora responded by looking back.

She could see that for Prince Lester, this kind of action might not be something worth questioning. Perhaps, he himself had seen even crueler things and thus, this could not disturb him in the slightest bit.

It was good.

"I’ll never leave you, Miss!" Les was the second to said. Her fingers were clenched into a fist in front of her and she was trembling so badly, but her eyes were full of determination.

She had followed Aurora for a long time and Les knew what Aurora experienced more than anyone else. Even if Aurora were to be enemies with the entire world, she would still side with Aurora and helped Aurora to the best of her ability.

Aurora smiled at Les.

The only maid whom she knew that she could trust is Les.

It was also because of this that Aurora always brought Les around no matter where she went.

"Miss, I’m your knight." William took a deep breath and looked at Aurora with determination.

When he saw Aurora holding the bloodied sword back then, he realized that this might be something that happened again in the future.

And it meant that he would also face enemies.

But William was no afraid.

From the very moment he chose to become a knight, he knew that he had to face danger. Being Aurora’s knight meant that he had to be the one to protect her.

As for backing down?

William didn’t want to back down. He had decided to follow Aurora after he saw her abilities and even now, he decided that he would continue to follow Aurora.

Only Mr. Wren didn’t answer right away. He looked at Aurora with complicated emotions because he understood that there was an undercurrent that he didn’t realize happening.

And now, they were all pulled to the center of the upheaval.

No matter what happened in the future, he would have to face these things.

"Miss, can you tell me... what is your real plan?" Mr. Wren asked slowly.

He had actually asked this question when he first met with Aurora and saw her abilities. But at that time, Aurora refused to say anything aside from leaning more about various things and revealed bits and pieces of her action.

Even with these things told to Mr. Wren, he couldn’t guess what Aurora actually wanted to do.

Three years or so have passed since that time.

Mr. Wren had to admit that he was not capable enough.

So all he could do was to ask Aurora directly about her plan.

Aurora looked at Mr. Wren and silently looked at the sword in her hand and took a cloth to wipe the blood on it. Her eyes were cold and there was a faint chills that could be seen. "Do you think the noble families are clean, Mr. Wren?"

"No," Mr. Wren replied immediately.

As someone who had dealt with the nobility for a long time, Mr. Wren was still very clear about this point.
