“Yes, my life is solely for you. Once I officially receive my knighthood, I will swear my knightly oath to you.”
He watched for Rosette’s reaction.
“Will you accept it?”
Melody, who had been watching quietly, approached and knelt beside her brother in front of Rosette.
Rosette looked into the two pairs of blue eyes gazing at her and nodded.
“Okay.”
“Thank you, young lady!”
“Thank you!”
The three of them smiled at each other.
They didn’t yet know that it would take less than a year for Joseph Oser to officially swear his knightly oath to Rosette.
“There’s no connection. Is this really all there is?”
Duke Adrian pressed his temples after setting down the report. His aide bowed apologetically.
“I’ve searched as much as possible… I’m sorry.”
The one who orchestrated this incident, Baron Shane, had been discontent with a proposal Duke Adrian had submitted to the emperor half a year ago.
It seemed he plotted to remove the Duke, thinking the proposal would pass without him.
That was the apparent reason revealed so far.
But almost no one believed it.
Duke Adrian was convinced that someone else was behind Baron Shane. Thus, he had mobilized all of Adrian’s intelligence to uncover Shane’s backer.
Yet, nothing came to light.
“Baron Shane isn’t capable of planning something so meticulous. Using Shane’s resources to plant two spies in Adrian? Nonsense.”
“I’ll investigate further.”
After the aide left, Duke Adrian opened his eyes.
He pondered over what his eldest son, Daniel, had said earlier.
-Father, actually, Rose said something odd before.
-What did she say?
-She told me to be careful when riding in a carriage.
-A carriage?
-Yes. Ultimately, it was you who had the carriage accident, but I couldn’t just ignore what Rose said.
Daniel also mentioned this:
-His Highness Joshua said something similar…
-The prince too?
-Yes. He warned about a carriage accident. Precisely, His Highness spoke first, but it was around the same time as Rose.
The fact that Joshua and Rose, at similar times, warned specifically Daniel about carriage accidents was certainly unusual.
So, after parting with Daniel, Duke Adrian met with Joseph Oser, just in case, and asked:
-Was it not only me they were targeting but also Daniel?
However, Joseph’s answer was ‘no’. He unequivocally stated that the unnamed opponent targeted only Duke Adrian.
Though the target was different, a carriage accident did indeed happen.
Duke Adrian couldn’t just overlook this point. He tapped his fingers on the desk, then got up to meet his beloved youngest daughter.
When Duke Adrian found Rosette’s room, she was still in conversation with Melody.
“Rose.”
Melody, who had been chattering away in front of Rosette, stiffened.
“Miss Melody, shall we go see your brother?”
Quick-witted Joan led Melody out of the room.
Left alone with Rosette, Duke Adrian had a somewhat different expression than usual.
‘What does he want to talk about?’
Rosette, noticing the Duke’s slightly unusual demeanor, felt a bit tense.
Even though everything had ended well, the Duke still seemed to have something to say.
Sure enough, the Duke sitting opposite her subtly asked:
“Rose, I heard you said something to Daniel before.”
“What did I say?”
She pretended not to know, though she had an idea.
“You told Daniel to be careful when riding in a carriage.”
She knew a question like this would come someday. Rosette calmly offered the answer she had prepared.
“I heard a lot about carriage accidents when I was in the village. That’s why I said that.”
“Why only to Daniel? Weren’t you worried about Dad, Isabelle, or Lucas?”
Rosette vigorously shook her head.
“I was worried.”
“Then why?”
“Isabelle and Lucas hardly ever take carriages. So, I wasn’t too worried about them.”
“And what about Dad?”
The Duke seemed slightly dismayed by her question.
“Dad is…”
Rosette hesitated before spreading her arms wide and smiling brightly.
“Dad is the strongest sword master in the world!”
Meaning, there was no need to worry about him.
