Chapter 66: Visits or Negotiations?
It was a hot day in the Empire. A horse-drawn carriage walked down the path entering the forest. The horse carriage looked luxurious and comfortable, it was visible from the wheels that moved up and down when passing through holes or rocks. There were no shocks visible on the body of the carriage. It shows how expensive the horse-drawn carriage is with all its advantages.
The people in there are Alissa Hart and Rose. As the Madam was enjoying the view of the forest, Rose seemed agitated at the thought of something.
On the night before, Rose found out if there was an invitation from the Hart Family. That worried him, letting a minister from another kingdom roam around like this was so wrong. Especially regarding the Hart Family, Rose himself did not see any relationship between Alissa Hart and them.
"Rose." Alissa Hart called out to the maid as she continued to stare outwards.
Rose immediately regained her senses and immediately replied, "W-do you need anything, Madam?"
"Tell me everything you know about the Hart Family."
Rose was silent for a moment hearing Alissa's words.
Doesn't he know about Hart? Or did he deliberately ask like this to test me? It's impossible that he doesn't know. It definitely determines my future here!
"Okay, Madam."
In fact, when the Hart Family began its foundation to date is still questionable. Some rumors say that the Hart Family existed before the Empire was built over a hundred years ago.
The rumors were there because the previous Emperor had always turned a blind eye to what the Hart Family was doing.
For power, the Hart Family is the only one in the world whose entire lineage possesses great abilities. In a sense they are talented in any field. That is what makes them respected. Until a few years ago they jumped into the plunge by forming a party rank S.
The Duke leader this time is Karman Hart. No one knew what kind of person he was, as Karman Hart had been untouchable since becoming the head of the Hart family, supposedly only the upper class nobles had ever met him. However, the story of young Karman Hart is famous all over the world. A man with unreasonable strength who could defeat a dragon quickly.
"intriguing. I can't wait to meet them" Alissa said with a small smile looking at the window.
Rose was still a little confused as to whether Alissa really did not know or just tested it. However, he had explained everything carefully so as not to threaten his future if the woman was not satisfied with his explanation.
"Rose, did you meet two sisters after the show?" alissa Hart did not smile anymore.
"I haven't met any of them, Madam. Something seems to be happening."
Rose also wanted to know where the two sisters were going. Because their business was also in the Empire, but Alissa did not tell him clearly.
Bad feeling.
This was the first time since becoming Rose's personal lady-in-waiting to feel anything bad to come.
Alissa's expression looked worried, although it was not obvious, Rose could read it through the curve of the woman's eyebrows.
"Rose, if anything happens to me, contact Elina immediately with the communication item."
Rose really felt sad to hear her Madam say that. Rose looked like she couldn't do her job properly.
Spontaneously Rose grabbed the hand of Alissa sitting before him and said, "Mistress, everything will be fine. I'll protect you."
Alissa was surprised to see Rose suddenly grabbing her hand. He did not say a word and just watched his hand held by Rose.
"We've arrived, ma'am," said the horseman who immediately ended the conversation.
Travel quite far from their mansion, passing through the forest and away from the capital and into the territory of Duke Hart.
Inside the main mansion of the Hart Family. A tall, burly man stood facing the window. He looked towards the horse carriage that had just stopped right in front of the gate.
That man is Karman Hart, the Hart Family Head. The look in his eyes continued to point at the horse carriage, even focusing too much until he ignored the circumstances around him. It had no effect if there was an impromptu attack, Karman Hart only focused on seeing it through his senses, not with his skills.
Alissa Hart, I'm really curious about that woman. How could none of the families from the upper or lower branches have any relationship with him. Is he a fraud?
Until the train door opened. A maid came down first with a cautious attitude, to the point of attracting Karman's attention.
As far as you can hide it, you can't fool my eyes. An expert on killing being a maid?
Karman turned around and walked out of his room before Alissa got off the train. He smiled a little with hidden meaning.
Let's see where you're trying to fool people.
Rose got out of the horse carriage, she went down the stairs carefully while watching the surroundings. There were many soldiers lined up in the courtyard of the mansion. However, it looked like a welcome as they lined up straight to set aside the long space in the middle leading to the mansion door. When she felt safe, she reached out her hand to lead Alissa out of the carriage.
Unknowingly, an old butler was already standing right before them.
Rose was very surprised because she did not notice it.
I've raised my alertness, even my senses to the maximum, but I'm not aware of this butler.
It looks like a butler in general. He was just an old man with short white hair who wore round glasses.
The butler bowed and greeted them. "Welcome, Miss Prime Minister. I'm a butler at Duke Hart's residence, my name is Kevin Hart. I'll escort you into the residence."
Rose noticed the butler's face, as she simply smiled with a squint. However, something happened.
*bum!
Rose instantly felt an overwhelming pressure on her body.
What the hell is this butler?! He's not just anyone!
Rose strengthened her mentally and regardless of the effects the pressure received.
On the other hand, Kevin was surprised by the maids who could escape the pressure. Basically, Kevin is someone who is an expert in psychological damage to his opponent with his special abilities.
It means that he is experienced even though I only use half my strength. But, I almost used all the power on this one.
Kevin glanced at Alissa.
He didn't even budge, as if all the pressure I exerted was simply absorbed.
Kevin is not surprised to the extent of it, but ....
His face, hair color, and even his red eyes. I'm sure it's all original, no disguise magic. He really is a Hart.
"Is there a problem, Mr Kevin?" ask Alissa.
Kevin immediately nodded. "No, Miss. Please just call me Kevin."
"Alright, please cooperate, yes, Kevin."
They walked towards the mansion with the soldiers on their right and left wearing full gear.
Rose was a little suspicious seeing them. He dared to ask.
"Mr Kevin, are the soldiers indeed wearing their full armor to welcome guests?"
Kevin paid little attention to Rose. He casually replied, "Normally they only wear formal attire, but this time it was different because of the guest of honor to come. This at once just in case something happens."
Rose was silent on the answer, but her premonition would not change with the answer.
I had to exert all my strength to defeat some of those soldiers. This warrior was even stronger than the soldiers present in the Imperial palace.
"We're up." Kevin pushed the large mansion's door slowly.
The contents within the mansion were clearly visible. Not many things are amazing, because the contents in the mansion look normal, but very spacious considering the size from the outside.
Rose was not too surprised because most families like this rarely show their interest in the interior of the house.
In the middle of that vast hall, there were three people consisting of two men and one woman. Kevin went towards the three people.
On the other hand, Rose felt a much more gripping air than Kevin. The aura came from those three people.
Of course I know who these three are.
Rose looked nostalgic and chose to fight back.
"Deliver you, Miss Alissa. They are the children of Duke Karman Hart, as well as future family leaders," Kevin said as he bowed his body.
The big, burly man with the most eccentric appearance. His hand muscles are clearly visible.
"My name is Maximus Hart, welcome to our residence."
A long yellow haired woman with an elegant appearance. He was wearing a black dress that covered almost his entire body.
Rose was really amazed to see the beauty of that woman. Coupled with glowing red eyes, he could barely even tell which Madam he was serving at the moment. They're really similar.
"It's nice to meet you, Miss Alissa. My name is Verena Hart" said the woman in an elegant manner.
And the last one. A man in glasses with bangs of hair who closed his left eye. He smiled with small eyes.
"Finally I'll meet you. My name is Danny Hart."
The three of them had extremely powerful auras. It was only natural that one of them would become the Head of the Family. The interesting thing in the Hart family is about the struggle for succession rights. All three will compete with their respective achievements, if all three have similar values, then the most anticipated thing will be done. Of the three, Danny was the one who made Rose curious.
"It's nice to meet you guys. Duke Karman is really lucky to have strong people around him." Alissa smiled so much that it made the three people gobsmacked.
"From here, we'll take you to the Head of the Family" Verena said.
Alissa said to Verena.
From here on, the tension will be higher.
