The Regret of Veronica
After catching sight of the barrack, an inexplicable force seemed to pull all the carriages in that direction. However, before a single wheel could turn, the mercenaries engaged in a hushed conversation with Vesta, causing their movements to come to an abrupt halt.
*knock*
At the first sound of the knocking, Desmond instinctively recognized it as the mercenaries. He cast a quick glance at his maids and gestured for them to tidy up the room.
"Please hold on," Laura called out from inside, as she swiftly lifted the storage chest and discreetly placed it beneath her bed. Meanwhile, Annie diligently cleaned the soiled plates and glasses scattered across the table.
After a few minutes of meticulous cleaning, Laura finally swung open the door, revealing Ray and Veronica standing outside.
"We've come to bid farewell to Master Desmond," Ray was the first to break the silence, prompting Veronica to cast a perplexed gaze his way.
