Chapter 12: I Definitely Won't Tell Miss Durandal!
“Hold on!”
“Wait a second!”
The Valkyrie saw the two people downstairs looking at her so menacingly, and her heart trembled inexplicably. She quickly threw the bag in her hand to the ground and turned to run.
After all, the way these two people were staring at her was terrifying. They seemed like they wanted to devour her alive. Anyone, when faced with two people looking at them like that, would feel scared.
Especially these Valkyries, who were young girls in their twenties.
Rita and Chen Wenjin saw the Valkyrie turn and try to run, so they hurriedly called her back. Of course, if the Valkyrie really wanted to run, the two of them couldn’t stop her.
Unless Rita swung her scythe at the Valkyrie’s leg.
But how could Rita possibly do such a thing like cutting the leg of her subordinate?
“Vice-Captain…”
The Valkyrie heard Rita’s command and immediately stopped in her tracks. She then turned around slowly, her little face almost wrinkled, looking at Rita in helplessness, and then at Chen Wenjin behind her.
This man, wasn’t he the Chen Wenjin who had just joined the Third Squad today? Vice-Captain Rita said not to harm the girls in their squad, but then she herself went after him at night.
“I promise I won’t tell Miss Durandal!”
The Valkyrie quickly assured Rita.
“You were going to tell Miss Durandal?” Rita raised an eyebrow.
Rita’s expression hardened as she briskly walked towards the Valkyrie. As she passed by the bag on the ground, she casually picked it up.
The Valkyrie’s face underwent a sudden change when she saw Rita’s actions. Her face, which had already turned somewhat pale due to the intimidating gazes of Rita and Chen Wenjin, became even paler. She had actually thrown the bag on the ground?!
Oh no, please, Lady Rita, don’t open it!
The Valkyrie swallowed hard, her gaze fixed entirely on Rita’s hands, afraid that she would reach into the bag and reveal its contents.
As for what exactly was inside that bag? It was something that the Valkyries in the Immortal Blade squad liked, but they all knew that it was not something Lady Durandal and Lady Rita would want to see.
But now it had fallen into Lady Rita’s hands, and the Valkyrie could only hope that Lady Rita wouldn’t open it.
Then the bag was returned to the Valkyrie.
She let out a quiet sigh of relief.
“You just said you wanted to tell Miss Durandal something?”
Rita didn’t pay much attention to the Valkyrie’s small actions. She was more concerned about whether this Valkyrie would spread what she had just seen.
It wasn’t about what she and Chen Wenjin had done. It was the fact that Rita’s fame within the Immortal Blade was significant. If the news of her walking out of Chen Wenjin’s dormitory were to spread, it would be a troublesome situation. The entire Immortal Blade would likely know about Chen Wenjin by the next day.
But what she was most worried about wasn’t the entire Immortal Blade knowing about this. She was more concerned about Lady Durandal finding out about Captain’s identity. Because it was related to her, once Lady Durandal learned about this, she would likely immediately investigate Captain’s background, combining it with her future memories. Rita was very worried that after Lady Durandal met Captain, he might accidentally seduce Lady Durandal again, especially considering Captain had already directly called Lady Durandal by her name as if they were already acquainted with each other.
“You misunderstood.”
At this point, Chen Wenjin walked over. He glanced at Rita and then at the Valkyrie.
“Rita and I don’t have the kind of relationship you’re thinking of.”
“Rita?!”
Then, the Valkyrie got angry all of a sudden. She shoved the bag she was holding into Rita’s hands and stormed over to Chen Wenjin, extending her finger and poking him directly in the chest.
She poked him quite hard.
“Is it acceptable for you to call Miss Rita like that? Have you properly recognized your own identity?”
Chen Wenjin: “…” Could you be a bit gentler? You are clearly a young lady, so why are you behaving roughly like this?
Chen Wenjin was pushed back by her pointed finger.
“Call… Miss Rita… Miss!”
The Valkyrie continued to point at Chen Wenjin’s chest, her eyes wide and fierce. The timid mouse-like appearance she had just shown had completely disappeared.
“I’m telling you, don’t think you can be cocky just because you joined the Third Squad. If you ever disappoint Miss Rita, I’ll be the first to come at you with a knife!”
“Huh?”
Chen Wenjin frowned.
What did she mean by “disappointing Miss Rita”? I don’t think I have any relationship with Rita, do I?
Rita squinted her eyes.
Now this is my good subordinate.
She weighed the bag in her hand and felt something strange through the bag’s surface. Rita lowered her head and took a look. Through the bag’s exterior, she could see that there was a book inside.
Rita opened the bag and peered inside.
The first thing she saw was a manga depiction of Lady Durandal.
It was beautifully drawn, but…
The clothing was a bit minimal.
“Hmm?”
Rita furrowed her brows and took the book out of the bag. She looked at the cover closely.
The book image of Lady Durandal is quite audacious.
She flipped through a few pages inside.
A short-haired girl and a blonde girl were tightly embracing each other.
Rita’s face turned green instantly.
This Valkyrie, she’s actually holding a book featuring Lady Durandal and me doing that kind of thing?!
