BXBX NOVEL Chapter 90 90 – Changed People
Afterward, I returned to where Milea was together with Jane. When I reunited with my cheeky nun, she looked at the maid beside me with a confused look, not expecting me to return with her instead of the stalker.
Then I roughly explained what happened, explaining to Milea that Jane was the stalker. Then Jane apologized to the cheeky nun, bowing her head deeply. Her appearance was hidden by the dark robe she used earlier; only us from a close range could see her face clearly.
"I apologize for scaring you!"
Milea wasn\'t sure what to do and looked at me. I leaned slightly toward her ear, causing her to jolt a little when my breath brushed against her skin. That was something inevitable, so I just whispered to her about the situation, as it included Eliza.
Fortunately, my nuns were all capable and smart. She understood almost immediately that this would be a chance to get Eliza and nodded to my words with a cheeky smile.
"I forgive you! However, you could just approach me and ask whether you need help or not. Sir Paladin is a kind man and would help any damsel in need!" Milea raised her voice purposely for the other people to hear.
I did say that I would help anyone, but why did she announce it in this crowded street? Many people even looked in our direction, some with shining eyes full of hope. I only helped because I would be able to get Eliza\'s faster and meet with Vivian.
If some of these people suddenly knocked on my door, I would punish her. And why did she look at me with such a smug grin? Her cheek also turned slightly red.
At that time, I immediately understood. She did it purposely because she wanted to be punished and used like a toy, just like before.
\'If that was what you wanted, I won\'t give it to you. Let me see you suffer.\' I grinned back at her before turning to Jane, asking her to follow us to my mansion.
We couldn\'t really talk about the details in the middle of the street. And so we returned after I secretly gave Milea a quick spank that made her let out a cute squeal and rubbed her bum. She looked at me with a pout, and I smirked at her.
Once we arrived in my mansion, we immediately went to the drawing room while Milea returned to the kitchen to put the groceries down. Replacing her was Garcia, and she stood behind me as I sat on the sofa.
Jane was kneeling on the floor as if she was just a maid and had no right to sit in the same position as me.
"So, I will tell you something first." I began with a soft tone as I crossed my legs. "Eliza is my childhood friend, and I am indebted quite a bit to Baron Rose for managing the orphanage I was in when I was a kid."
At my words, Jane raised her head and raised her eyebrows in surprise. "As expected…" She muttered in a low voice.
Hmm, she did know about Arthur\'s existence, Eliza\'s childhood friend. She also connected Eliza\'s childhood friend with me but was still unsure because I had probably changed a lot from when I was a kid.
Besides, I was a Paladin. And she didn\'t want to be rude toward me, the only savior that could probably save Eliza.
Baron Rose didn\'t know that Duke Bluerose would fall one way or another. In less than a month, no less, as they had touched the church and me. Whether I made a move or not, Eliza would be safe. Still, I would make a move. They had sent the letter of war.
"So I will help Eliza." I continued. "But I\'d like to know why Madam Vivian Rose sent you instead of Baron Rose. He should be the one who held the authority of the house."
"… To be honest, Baron Rose also sent a man. But that knight, Otto, will arrive at least tomorrow to inform Young Miss and find a clue about Paladin. I could only arrive in Academy City faster than him because I used a magic item to teleport to this place."
Jane pulled out a broken blue crystal from her pocket and showed it to me.
"As you can see, it\'s a one-time use magic item. It broke once I used it."
That appearance, although shattered, was indeed a teleportation magic item called [Teleportation Gem]. I could understand why she arrived in a few days instead of a week.
The distance between Rose Barony and Academy City was by no means short. It took a carriage more than two weeks to arrive. And by using a fast horse, one could arrive in a week if the horse was pushed without rest.
But with [Teleportation Gem], one could arrive instantly.
However…
"That\'s not my question," I spoke in a chilling voice, causing Jane to shudder. "I wanted to ask why Baron Rose and Madam Vivian sent different people just to inform Eliza about this. You mentioned that Madam Vivian sent you here secretly. Why so?"
"Because Madam believes the Baron changed a few days ago before receiving the letter," Jane replied with a heavy tone, gritting her teeth.
"I can\'t quite explain it, but the atmosphere around him was different after he returned from Capital City. Since then, both of them seldom talk, and Baron Rose even went to the underground redlight district with the knight, Otto. We noticed that Baron\'s Sins had risen, and so were Otto\'s Sins."
"Capital City, huh?" I muttered and let out a sigh.
Probably, that was where Beatrice hid herself. After charming and controlling Alexander 3 days ago, she fled to Capital City and planned this, knowing that Eliza was my childhood friend. Her target was clearly me and not Baron Rose. They were just caught in her plot.
\'So Baron Rose was charmed too. How troublesome.\'
A grin crept into my face. Well, it was Baron Rose\'s fault for falling into that Succubus charm. And he even went to the underground redlight district with this Otto? The one he asked to tell Eliza about this news. It seemed like there was a Succubus\' toy in Baron Rose too.
"So this Otto isn\'t that trustworthy, and Madam Vivian sent you?"
"Y-Yes." Jane nodded, her voice quivering in fear.
"It seems like we need to stop this Otto from reaching Eliza first before going to Rose Barony to settle this."
