The girl was leaning against the window, looking in the direction of the palace with a sad expression on her face. She cried so much that she almost couldn't breathe.
She couldn't understand why, but after coming to the central city, the man she admired had become the queen's man in one fell swoop...
She was sad, angry and puzzled, but didn't even have the qualification to fight for him.
Her father was just a mediocre nobleman and she didn't dare to compete with the queen for her man by being willful and ignorant.
All she could do was be sad by herself.
Her brother stood aside, watching his sister's sad appearance and sighed before turning his gaze towards their father.
"Father, what exactly is going on?"
Just as their father was about to speak, clear footsteps suddenly came from outside of the door.
The next second, someone pushed open the door from outside.
A familiar figure stood outside with a slender body and looked coldly at this family of three inside. Without that mask covering his face anymore, his charming features were fully exposed. Coupled with some lingering demonic energy that hadn't completely dissipated from escaping out of vortex earlier made him look like he could charm anyone he wanted.
The girl blushed as she looked at him happily before running towards him. "You're back!"
But before she could run over there completely unbridledly , her own father and brother stopped her in time.
The girl only cared about being happy without noticing how cold and murderous-looking he appeared in his eyes.
This person... definitely did not come here to thank them for saving his life!
Osvaldo's cold gaze locked onto the middle-aged man in the room. "Tell me, a year ago, did you save me by accident or were you ordered to do so?"
The middle-aged man's face twitched slightly. "It was purely accidental..."
Osvaldo raised his hand and pointed a knife at the young girl. "I don't like it when people lie to my face. This is your last chance!"
The young girl looked at the sword pressed against her throat, her face turning pale.
She wanted to scream but her brother covered her mouth before she could.
The young man turned to his father with an anxious expression. "Father!"
After a year of being around this man, they knew he was ruthless and cruel.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up under the threat of harm to his children. "Someone told me about you - that day I happened to be passing through your area when someone handed me a note saying that if I saved you, there would be great rewards in store for me."
In reality, when he found this man he had already been bandaged up by someone else.
They simply brought him back with them.
His only relief now was that they hadn't done anything harmful towards him during this past year.
After all... wasn't Osvaldo considered royalty?
In a cold voice Osvaldo asked: "Where is that note?"
The middle-aged man produced it and handed it over without hesitation.
With his answer obtained, Osvaldo withdrew his knife and left without another word.
After he left, the young girl looked at the empty doorway and suddenly burst into tears. "Brother, he's so scary. I'll never like him again..."
