Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent-Chapter 245: Two Urgent Reports

After removing all traces of battle, everyone went their separate ways.

"Sir, can we really trust that person?" Aldrin asked with a worried look. He couldn't bring himself to trust Von no matter how hard he tried.

Henry grinned and shook his head. "Of course not. Why would I trust someone we just met?"

Hearing this, Aldrin was dumbfounded. "Then why did you send Sir Rigor and the others with him? We don't know what he might do."

Henry glanced at him and smiled. He didn't answer him and asked a question instead. "Among the Knights in the Household, who is the strongest?"

Aldrin furrowed his eyebrows, but he still responded truthfully. "It's Sir Rigor…"

"Right. Rigor is the most powerful Knight of House Silversword. Even in the North, there are only two or three Knights who are on the same level if not stronger than him." Henry shook his head. His words displayed the confidence he had in Rigor's ability.

He tapped Aldrin's shoulder and added. "Don't worry about him. Rigor can protect himself. The kids I sent with him aren't pushovers either."

Aldrin no longer said anything after hearing this.

Von…that man, I can sense the desperation in his eyes. That was the desperation of a father and a husband. A man who worries about his family, I hope I made the right decision.

Henry thought to himself.

Meanwhile, in the main mansion of House Silversword, the servants were busy moving the decorations they had prepared for Alaric's wedding ceremony. These decorations were specially designed for the occasion and it was Maria who had ordered them.

She wanted the best for her son so she didn't hesitate to use the money they had earned from their recent business ventures.

At this moment, Maria was instructing the servants in the main hall.

"Be careful. Some of those items are made of fragile materials." She reminded the servants.

"Yes, my lady!" The servants responded.

These items were to be delivered to the wedding venue which was a newly constructed building within the estate.

Everyone moved with caution, ensuring that the items would be delivered without any damage.

"My lady, why are you doing this yourself? Didn't I tell you to rest? You are with child so you should not overdo yourself." A voice filled with concern echoed through the main hall.

Maria lifted her head and saw her son walking down the staircase in a hurry.

Seeing him, she let out a loving smile and said. "Good morning, my son. How was your sleep?"

Alaric sighed as he approached his mother. He looked around and when he noticed that the servants were busy, he leaned forward and whispered. "Mom, you should get some rest first. I will handle everything here. I cannot let you do all these troublesome things."

Maria shook her head with a faint smile. "It is not troublesome. I love doing this since it is for your wedding. Do not worry about me, son. I am taking care of myself well. Besides, there are doctors and nurses at my side who are doing their best to keep me healthy."

"The doctors also told me that I need some physical activities so it will not be difficult for me during delivery." She added.

Alaric could only shake his head with a defeated look. "Fine, but you must rest after lunch."

"I will." Maria chuckled.

The mother and son chatted briefly before Alaric stepped out of the main mansion to head to the training grounds.

He couldn't find the time to do his daily missions so there was no increase in his attributes other than his mana.

While he was performing his weighted exercises, a warrior suddenly came to deliver a report so he had to take a short pause.

"I apologize for disturbing you, my lord. I just want to inform you that the assassins have already been taken care of." The warrior reported in a whispering voice to make sure that only Alaric could hear him.

Hearing this, Alaric remained unperturbed. "Oh? No one saw you guys, right?" He casually asked.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

The warrior shook his head. "Sir Butch personally handled their execution and we made sure that no one was nearby. By now, their bodies should be rotting in the soil."

"Good!" Alaric nodded.

How could he show mercy to the assassins who had tried to kill Hershey?

The only reason he allowed them to live a few days longer was to make them believe that he would let go of them. Just imagining the despair in their eyes as they were slowly dying made him thrilled.

The warrior shivered upon seeing Alaric's smile.

Alaric sent him a look and warned him with a stern gaze.

"No one must know about this. Do you understand?"

"Yes, my lord!" The warrior nodded.

"You may go. I still have to continue my training." Alaric waved his hand, signaling for him to leave.

The warrior no longer dallied and left right away.

After the warrior left, Alaric resumed his weighted exercises. He was just about to proceed with his sword training when another urgent report came.

What is it this time?

Alaric frowned as he took the letter from the messenger. When he unrolled the letter and saw that it was from Warrick, his expression changed.

After Vivian's execution, Alaric sent Warrick and Fredrinn to Copperglade to protect his grandfather from House Harrison.

Alaric thought that nothing would happen to his grandfather with those two protecting him, but he had underestimated the recklessness of the enemies.

Those bastards actually attempted to kidnap my grandfather!

Alaric's eyes burned with fury.
