Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 767

Cedric nodded, his face etched with a look of melancholy. "When it comes to affection, how could yours be any less than hers? Caspian, please excuse my bluntness, but you've beaten and punished the young masters. Isn't it time to offer them a little comfort?"

Caspian lifted his eyes toward The Ancestral Hall. "How long have they been kneeling?"

"It's been a full day and night now," Cedric replied.

Caspian waved a hand. "Go tell them they can leave."

"Yes, sir." Cedric's face lit up with visible relief, and he hurriedly jogged out of the Conservatory.

Caspian smiled faintly and shook his head.

When Alaric, Cyril, and Julian walked out of The Ancestral Hall, their faces gave nothing away. They had originally planned to stop by the main courtyard to say goodnight, but Cedric persuaded them otherwise, insisting it was too late and they shouldn't disturb Caspian's rest.

Cedric personally escorted them to the edge of Northwing Court.

By now, the night was deep. Just outside the courtyard, construction workers were rushing to finish a job, the relentless hammering and smashing easily drowning out the cicadas in the trees.

The three of them stared at the utter chaos in The Elysian Courtyard. Before they could ask, Cedric let out a soft sigh and explained, "Miss Lexton injured her leg. Caspian was worried she'd have trouble getting around the estate, so he ordered all the steps, cobblestones, and narrow corridors to be demolished."

Alaric's eyes darkened slightly. He turned around slowly. "You can stop here, Cedric."

Cyril gave a faint nod, and the two of them walked off toward the inner courtyards, one after the other.

Julian stood by The Portico, his expression icy as he watched the workers tearing the stonework apart.

Cedric hesitated for a moment before slowly approaching him. "Julian, it's getting late, and you're still injured. Why don't you go get some rest?"

Julian shot Cedric a sideways glance. "Did the Cavanaughs come by tonight?"

"Yes."

"Just the matriarch?"

Cedric shook his head. "Mr. Caelan Cavanaugh and the Bellamys came as well."

Julian thought for a moment before raising an eyebrow. "What about Leander?"
