Chapter 455 Confess?
At this time, only ordinary soldiers and minor nobles participated in the war, so the Lord of the North and several other earls were staying in the rear.
Under the protection of Alice and others, Gervis came to the rear of the army. At this time, the Lord of the North also rushed over after hearing the news.
"Grevith, you are pretty good. You have been missing for so long and yet you are still able to come back intact."
"And you saved Caroline for me! We, the Welton family, owe you a favor."
After knowing that Caroline was "given" to Gervis by the Principality of Alban, the little bit of worry in the Lord of the North immediately disappeared.
After all, Gervis is Alice's husband, and he has known Caroline for a long time, so he naturally would not let Caroline suffer any grievances.
"Haha, Master Gust, you're too kind. I just saved Miss Caroline by accident, and you're Alice's grandfather, so don't talk about whether I owe you a favor or not."
Gervis felt quite guilty. It was right for him to rescue Caroline, but if Gust knew what he had done with Caroline, he probably wouldn't think so.
"Gevis, I heard that you went to Maiye City to exchange for the ransom. How come you ended up in Hayden City and became Viscount Harry?"
The Lord of the North interrupted the conversation. In fact, Alice was also quite curious about what had happened to Gervis during this period, so she asked as well.
Of course, while asking questions, Alice glanced at Caroline and Gervis subtly.
The Lord of the North thought nothing of it because he was just happy that Caroline was back safely.
But Alice always felt that there was something wrong with the way Caroline looked at Gervis.
Seeing Alice's eyes fixed on himself and Caroline, Gervis felt a chill in his heart and a little guilty.
He was thinking whether he should confess his relationship with Caroline to Alice.
But Gervis knew that if he really confessed to Alice, his cheap wife would probably ignore him no longer.
But fortunately, Alice was asking other questions now, so he still had a little time to think about it, so Gervis answered truthfully.
"I robbed castles on other noble routes, and when I reached the eldest prince's route, I heard about Caroline!"
"So I thought about using those noble descendants to redeem Caroline, so I rushed to Maiye City quite early."
"I just didn't expect Caroline to be taken directly to the King's City of Hayden by the Thunder Knights. I can only continue to exchange gold coins with them."
"After the exchange was completed, the nobles of the Principality of Alban were naturally unwilling to let me go, because the army of the Principality of Jean had not yet arrived, so they had plenty of time to deal with me. In the end, they set fire to the large forest where I was hiding, hoping to capture me."
"Next, I could only flee southwards towards the heart of the Principality of Alban, trying to find a suitable place to hide. However, I didn't expect that there would be very few large forests after Maiye City. Even if there were any, they were near those towns, and there was no place to hide."
"Finally, I met a group of minor nobles from the Principality of Alban..."
Next, Gervis told Alice and the Lord of the North in detail how he was recruited into the team of the Principality of Alban, how he arrived at the Royal City of Hayden, and how he participated in the competition to rescue Caroline.
The Lord of the North and Alice were both amused and worried when they heard that Gervis had failed to find a suitable forest in the heart of the Principality of Alban. Fortunately, Gervis returned safely.
And when Caroline heard that when Gervis was in Maiye City, he was thinking of using those noble children to save himself, the look she gave Gervis became softer, with an indescribable emotion in it.
Alice immediately noticed the change in Caroline and became suspicious. She was only slightly alert just now, but now Alice had a lot of guesses.
While speaking, Gervis had been observing Alice's expression. When he saw her looking at Caroline, and then at Caroline's affectionate look, Gervis said in his heart: It's over.
"Hey! I found something very important in the King's City of Hayden, Lord Gust. This matter may be related to the survival of the Principality of Jean. I will need you to talk to the king later!"
In order to divert attention, Gervis quickly continued.
"What is it?"
Seeing that Gervis was so serious, and considering that this was a matter concerning the survival of the Principality of Jean, the Lord of the North immediately became serious and asked.
Alice's attention was temporarily diverted and she looked at Gervis.
"When I was in the Hayden Palace, I discovered traces of the church. The reason why the second prince was able to successfully usurp the throne was with the help of the church!"
Gervis had originally intended to tell these great nobles of the Principality of Jean about these things, because only if they did not fall could they help his weak arms and legs to stop the church.
Of course, Gervis will not reveal anything about the Holy Continent for the time being.
"Moreover, the Principality of Alban took the initiative to attack this time. Alot's confidence must have come from the church. I suspect that the church has a huge conspiracy this time!"
"What, is this really a conspiracy by the church?"
In fact, King Lawrence and others also sensed something was wrong from the knights' duel just now, but they had no evidence for the time being, and they could not believe that the church would be so thoroughly involved. This was no different from a head-on confrontation with the Principality of Zeon.
"Yes, Lord Gust, it is because of the church that Alot can get the support of Hayden's direct guard!"
At that moment, Gervis told many clues that he knew, and then he told what he saw as the great commanders left Alote's tent with the spiritual essence.
"Although I don't know what the church and Alot are planning next, since they dare to fight a battle with the army of the Principality of Zeon, they must have other plans!"
"There are five or six bottles of spiritual essence alone! Gervis, if things are really as you said, then the church's plan this time is at least to completely destroy our Principality of Zeon!"
"Caroline, you stay with Alice first, or go back to the camp by yourself later. Grandfather is going to find King Lawrence first!"
The Lord of the North could no longer stand there, and hurriedly gave instructions, then turned and left.
The church is a more terrifying threat to the Principality of Jean than to the other two principalities, so Gust cannot help but be anxious.
…
After the Lord of the North left in a hurry, only Alice, Gervis and Caroline were left.
The scene fell into silence for a moment.
Gervis didn't know what to say. He guessed that Alice must have noticed something. A woman's sixth sense is sometimes no joke.
Now he had a dilemma. He could either confess to Alice and wait for her judgment.
Or he could hide his relationship with Caroline, which would definitely be unfair to Caroline.
But no matter what choice is made, Alice and Caroline will be hurt.
Gervis's eyes first glanced at Alice, then at Caroline.
Irresponsibility and deception were words that Gervais didn't want to describe either of these two women.
Finally, Gervis gritted his teeth and decided that he had to bear the consequences for what he had done, so he prepared to confess to Alice.
Even if both women ignored me in the end, I deserved it.
"Alice, I have something to tell you!"
Gervais spoke up.
"What's up!"
Alice looked off into the distance and asked casually:
A man and a woman are alone together, and Gervis is the hero who saves the beauty. Alice seems to know what Gervis wants to say.
"Actually, I..."
"Grevith, thank you for saving me! I will remember your kindness! I will go back to the Weldon family's camp first! I wish you and Alice happiness in the future!"
But before Gervis could say a few words, Caroline suddenly interrupted Gervis.
"Alice, I have to thank your husband for saving me this time! I'm going back first!"
After saying that, Caroline jumped on her horse without looking back, and headed towards the camp behind, without even giving Gervis a chance to react.
Gervis was a little confused. He just wanted to confess to Alice that Caroline must be aware of it, but he didn't expect that this woman would just leave like this.
And the meaning of Caroline's words was very clear, that is, Gervis did not need to be responsible, and he could continue to be in love with Alice in the future.
Alice also looked at Caroline's back with complicated eyes. She knew Caroline best.
Caroline is a competitive person. According to her usual personality, if she likes Gervis, she will definitely find ways to destroy the relationship between herself and Gervis.
Now that he has left like this, it means that he is really in love with Gervis, and deeply in love with him.
To describe Caroline now with the words of Gervis in his previous life: I would rather be a bootlicker than let you be happy!
