Chapter 46: We are doing thorough cleaning
Fredrick, who is behind General, is also twitching his eyebrows, thinking "He had obviously prepared two carriages of gifts, but now they turned into just an ordinary token.
This person, by the looks of it, was someone with significant background. Why would he need to swagger around? Such a person would probably walk around in capital without anyone daring to stop him.
Damn it! General, you're really cunning! Turning the young lady into that, and treating the benefactor of the young lady like this!?"
Knowing that he wouldn't see Lady Aurora today, Emperor Marcellus had no intention of staying long. He placed the token in his pocket and said, "Thank you, General, for the gift. It's quite exquisite. Since the young lady is not receiving guests today, I'll visit another day. Farewell."
Relieved that the ominous figure was finally leaving, General hurriedly and apologetically said, "Actually, I should have kept the young master for a meal at the mansion. However, too many people died in the mansion yesterday. It not only reeked of blood but also many servants scared so much that they are frightened. Currently, the mansion is undergoing a major cleaning, and we can't prepare delicious meals. I hope that your majesty won't mind."
Emperor Marcellus, with his charming and slightly mischievous smile, replied, "How could I mind!"?
"Can't he even come up with more disgusting words? Did he forget that he just told his subordinates that he intended to invite the young master?" Swarchak couldn't help but complain to Marcellus in a secret voice again.
"After the house is cleaned today, how about we invite the young master to the mansion in a few days?" General asked
"Sure."
General said politely, and then escorted Emperor Marcellus out.
When he was about to board the carriage, Marcellus suddenly turned around, smiled and said to General: "Actually, the young lady has seen what I look like, so General Gabriel, you should not talk about your lady in such a bad way. No one is a saint. Who can be without fault, right?"
General's face changed, and he smiled awkwardly, saying, "You're right, your majesty. I suppose the young lady hasn't gotten over the difficult situation with that refugee, which is why she doesn't want to see other men. After all, she loved that man for a full two years; it's not easy to let go. But the master's thoughts, we, as subordinates, shouldn't casually speculate, right?
Emperor Marcellus smiled and got into the carriage.
Watching the carriage slowly go away, Fredrick opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw General making a silent gesture, he quickly closed his mouth and said no more.
After entering the house, General's feet softened and he fell directly to the ground.
"General!" Fredrick hurriedly approached to help him. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by General.
After a while, General regained his strength, picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote down a sentence.
"Today's events are to be treated as if they never happened. Do not mention anything to the young lady."
Although he didn't know who Marcellus was and why the general was so afraid of him, he didn't even dare to say anything after everyone left, so he could only write. But Fredrick also understood the seriousness of the matter, nodded, and left.
After General burned what he wrote with his spiritual power, although his expression was still bad, he pretended to be fine and ordered the servants of the Duke's Mansion to do the cleaning.
He just hoped that Emperor Marcellus, because of his words, would dislike Lady Aurora, and never visit their mansion again!
On the carriage, Marcellus's lips still showed the faint smile that he had just shown in the Mansion, and it was getting deeper and deeper. Making Swarchak shudder, he couldn't help but complain: "My Lord, they kicked you out, and you're still smiling. Do you really want to swagger through Weeping City like a crab?"
