Chapter 794 Arriving before the message
?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 family right now."
Rose gave a snort before saying, "Is this how my family will treat me? Perhaps I should just leave then?"
The captain trembled when he heard this before quickly shaking his head and saying, "My lady, we would never do something like that. It's just that..."
Before the captain could finish, there was a group of horses that rushed over.
When they came over, the one that was in the lead came right up to Joan and the person riding on it jumped off before saying, "Sister, what are you doing here?"
Rose narrowed her eyes to look at this handsome red haired young man who stood there. She just stared at him in silence for a bit before finally saying, "Henry, didn't you and mother send me a message saying that father was ill? Because of that, I dropped everything and rushed back to see father."
The one she called Henry was surprised to hear this before saying, "Sister, if you were coming back, you could have sent a letter, right? If you're going to come like this, we at least need to know to stabilize our hearts."
Rose gave a snort before saying, "I did send a message. Are you saying that you didn't get it yet?"
As if on cue, there was someone else on horseback that suddenly came over.
When they saw the wyverns, they only seemed a bit surprised as if it was their first time seeing wyverns. However, they didn't seem like they were surprised that there were wyverns here.
After riding over, that person jumped off their horse and stood in front of Henry, giving him a bow before saying, "Young lord, there's an urgent message for you."
There was a bitter smile that appeared on Henry's face as he took it before saying, "Why didn't you bring it sooner?"
The person that brought it over said with a bitter look, "My lord, it just arrived..."
Henry just gave it a simple look before throwing it back to the messenger.
With a bitter smile on his face, he turned to look back up at Rose before saying, "Sister, you can't just arrive before sending a message like this."
Rose gave a shrug before saying, "I sent the message and you're just receiving it, is that my fault?" 𝗳r𝐞ew𝚎bn𝚘ve𝚕.c𝗼𝗺
Henry slightly knitted his brows before asking the messenger, "Why did it take so long to arrive?"
The messenger still had the same bitter look as he said, "The messenger came by horse, so it just arrived at our town not long ago."
Henry realized what the messenger meant by this, so he turned back to look at Rose with the same bitter smile before saying, "Sister, you're sending someone on horseback to send a message…Of course they won't make it before the wyvern."
Rose gave a shrug before saying, "You wanted me to send a wyvern?"
Henry trembled when he heard this, but he quickly shook his head and changed the topic by saying, "Sister, why are you in such a rush anyway?"
Rose narrowed her eyes to look at Henry before saying, "Weren't you and mother the ones that wanted me to come back quickly? Weren't you the ones that said that father was ill?"
Henry was caught off guard when he heard this as if he didn't expect her to say this, but then he said, "Right, father is…well, he was ill. It's just that he's better now."
Rose narrowed her eyes even more to look at Henry before saying, "Since that's the case, then there's no need for me to stay any longer."
Henry was once again caught off guard when he heard this before he quickly stepped forward and said, "Sister, since you're here, why not come and see mother and father? It's been so long since you've visited, I'm sure that they would love to see you."
After that, he turned to look at me and said, "I'm assuming that you must be Duke Zwein. We would love to have you visit as well. This is our first time meeting, but you can be sure that we support you and your marriage to my sister."
The way that he said this seemed much more friendly than how he talked to Rose.
It was clear that he was much more interested in me than he was in Rose, which meant that our suspicions had been confirmed. They were doing all this just to get me to come to their territory.
As for what their goal was…
I didn't get to answer as Rose suddenly said, "So is that the only reason that you want to invite us? In that case, there's no reason for us to stay." She turned around and said to me, "We're leaving."
Henry revealed a shocked look when he heard this since he never expected Rose to react like this.
Then there was a look of panic that appeared on his face as he didn't know what to say next. It wasn't as if he could use force to make them stay since the other side had wyverns.
Even if all his men tried, they wouldn't be able to do a thing.
But we didn't leave in the end as I grabbed Rose by the shoulder and said, "Wait, let's not be hasty. Your brother is inviting us to meet your parents, I think that we should at least go."
