Chapter 51: Chapter 51: WHAT DOES SHE WANT FROM ME?
"My lord, should we commence the plan?" a man shrouded in black, dressed like a ninja in the middle of the day, asked respectfully as he looked at the taller man who stood like a ramrod. His gaze seemed to be reaching quite a distance.
"Did everyone manage to get here?" the taller man dressed in simple blue robes asked, his voice sounding very gentle.
"The first group is already settled. We are still waiting for other groups since they took different routes."
"That’s good then. Let’s wait for everyone to arrive first. Now tell me, what did you find about her?" the man asked, his eyes narrowing as he turned to face the man dressed in black.
When the man heard the question, he immediately stood respectfully and looked at the man directly, since that was something, he instilled in all of them. When reporting a serious matter and he was looking at you, the reporter was required to gaze into those deep eyes and report whatever was required of them.
After doing that for years, that piercing gaze was no longer as scary as it used to be. As long as one was honest and reported truthfully, no harm would befall them. So why become a scaredy cat?
Besides, the issue he was asked to investigate was an interesting matter. He couldn’t wait to report his findings. He just hoped that his master would calm down upon hearing what he had to deliver.
"Master, I have used all channels we have around the continent and I can surely say that the Mistress’s past is very mysterious. It’s like she appeared out of nowhere. However, it could be said that she appeared roughly around eleven years ago. Back then she was young, however, because she liked keeping to herself, she barely attracted a lot of attention."
"If it wasn’t for her stopping by the Grace Inn in city T, which had gotten very popular in the past years, we wouldn’t have known much about her. From the inn’s owner, he said that it was because of the mistress that he got what he has now. In order to never forget where he got this grace, he had an artist paint her. And I have brought a copy of that painting."
"The mistress didn’t do much from what we have found. However, due to whatever circumstances, she ended up around this side, which led to her meeting with her deceased husband. From what we have gathered, apart from the mistress’s thick skin to her refusal to leave her deceased husband despite him being married, it was the deceased husband who was very persistent. No one knows why he was like that, considering that he was twice her age. But in the end, the two got married."
"During their five-year marriage, the two could be said to have lived harmoniously if we ignore the interference of the relatives and villagers. The two wives didn’t live in the same yard. To provide peace and harmony, the deceased husband separated them and divided his time between the two."
"The mistress never directly sought violence, but she was also the kind of person who, if provoked, wouldn’t lie low. Unfortunately, after five years, her husband went to hunt, and got attacked by the beast before running into bandits who robbed him and left him for dead."
"By the time she and the other people got the news, the husband was no more. That was how it all ended. When he died, everyone in Nicosa Village rejected her and called her names. Above all, they refused for her to mourn her deceased husband."
"Devoted to her deceased husband, she refused to go far away and through the grace of the Cropville village, her now best friend’s father, she was able to attain the hill where she is living with you and settled here."
"She mourned her deceased husband for three years, which was commendable considering that she could have forgone that and just moved away and got remarried."
"In the past two years, she hadn’t done much except live her life. She is pretty much known for her extravagance and luck. At the same time, she is also known for being a bit lazy. However, apart from that, she is pretty good. If it’s not for the envy of others, her life could be said to be perfect."
Hearing all that, the taller man narrowed his eyes as he thought of something. After a while, he asked the black-dressed man, "Before this, you didn’t find any news of her being married before or having any family?"
"I would be lying if I said I heard it, but there is nothing."
Hearing that, the man’s brows furrowed deeper. Honestly, he didn’t know what to say and how to take what he was hearing. His mind had been shrouded in confusion, and even after hearing the detailed investigation from his man, he remained doubtful.
"Just remain low and make sure she doesn’t see you or suspect you."
"Is she that strong?"
"Um. She might be the strongest woman I have ever seen in my life, so be careful."
"Since you have found what you want, why don’t we just take it and leave?"
"I am afraid that can’t be done quickly. I need to be sure of what I am taking. Otherwise, with her nature, I might send the whole family to their early graves. She is quite sensitive and something about her just bothers me!" he couldn’t help but say as a certain image appeared in his mind.
"Then I guess we can test the place out when is out!"
"It’s impossible. Only myself can perform the task. Just make sure that no ruffians come and cause trouble. The more peaceful the village is, the more at ease she would be. Right now, her vigilance is way up there and it took me three days to be able to leave that hill. If she suspects anything, she is the kind that can be ruthless without batting an eye!" mirth could be seen in his eyes as he smirked, making the scar which didn’t use to be there weeks before scrunch up.
The black-dressed man shuddered as he thought of how crazy this mistress was for her to manage to do that to his master without getting recuperation.
"I will inform the men to be careful."
After talking to the black-dressed man for a while, the taller man suddenly waved his hand and a breeze of cold air seemed to have passed where they were both standing.
Moments later, the man in the back suddenly disappeared, only to reappear moments later, in his hands holding two rabbits and two pheasants.
The taller man took the four carcasses and smiled suddenly, "wifey will be happy when she sees this!" saying as he started walking without saying a word to the man in black.
The man in black, seeing the silly smile on his master’s face, couldn’t help but shudder.
’Is he genuine or just playing a long game? If he is genuine, what would the misses do?’
