The Guardian's Sword

Aria instantly smiled smugly at Rapido’s words.

Rapido had been Lisha's loyal suitor for several years, but Lisha had always
been dismissive of Rapido. As a result, Rapido could not help but resent Lisha.
Moreover, Sean had also humiliated Rapido in front of Lisha at the antique
market, which was why Rapido's feelings for Lisha turned from love to hatred.

In this case, Aria only had to seduce him a little, and he took the bait. Then
Rapido defected to Aria, helping her give false testimony that Lisha had Sean
assassinate Lowich and Aria.

Rapido swore at the time that Aria had not given him anything and that he had
not benefited from Aria.

He was telling the truth. However, he got Aria. That was what he got from doing
that.

"Didn't you used to like Lisha?" Aria asked triumphantly.

Rapido chuckled and said darkly, "Yes, I used to like Lisha, but what can I do
when she doesn't like me? Besides, Lisha is hungry for that man from Dragon
Kingdom. What can I do? If I can't get her, I'll destroy her. No one else can get
their hands on her!"

Aria twisted her body in Rapido's arms before adding, "It's good that you have
that determination. As long as you stick with me and make me mayor, I won't
treat you badly. The Kaygene family will have a close relationship with our family
in the future.”

Rapido was overjoyed to hear Aria say this. He found himself reenergized, so he
wanted another round.

Just then, the door was kicked open with a bang.

It was none other than Sean and Claremento who walked in!

Several people stood outside, all the personal guards of the mayor's residence
and the captain of the personal guards, who was devoted to Lisha.

With Aria in the room, who had no clothes on, they could only stay outside. Only
Mayor Claremento and Sean were allowed inside.

"So that's it..." Sean suddenly saw the light.

He finally understood why Rapido turned to Aria and gave false testimony for her.
He also understood why Mayor Claremento let Aria out while he kept Lisha under
house arrest.

Mayor Claremento could only find her weakness and expose her by letting her
out to do whatever she wanted!

Rapido on the bed was terrified. He got up from Aria with a squeal, got away from
her, scrambled out of bed, and knelt before Claremento.

"Uncle, uncle, don't misunderstand me! I like Aria, and we're old enough to get
married. Doing such a thing isn't against the law, right..."

Rapido was naked. His fat body disgusted people, and that ugly thing was
dangling in mid-air, making people feel like throwing up at the sight of it.

Aria on the bed was also ghastly pale, but she was calm. She did not panickedly
kneel to apologize but stayed in bed, covering her body with a thin quilt.
"There's nothing wrong with you two dating. But did you think I didn't hear your
conversation earlier?" Claremento questioned fiercely.

Rapido's body shook with fear, and the thing bobbed up and down.

"Kill him, Sean!" Claremento commanded.

Sean did not move.

What a joke. He was only here to be a witness, not a murderer.

He was the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army. If he killed
Rapido of the Kaygene family in Crosac, the Kaygene family would hate Dorodo.
Besides, he had nothing to do with this matter in the first place, so he did not
have to do anything. Besides, Claremento was in no position to order him.

"I'll take all the blame!" Claremento continued saying.

Sean smiled as he pulled out his longsword and chopped off Rapido's head as
he looked on in horror.

Rapido was decapitated. His eyes were still wide open as his head rolled to the
ground.

Sean then looked at Aria on the bed.

"What about her?" Sean asked, meaning whether he should take care of her too.
Claremento closed his eyes for a moment before finally saying, "She's my
daughter after all..."

"Alright then..."

Sean reluctantly sheathed his longsword. He would like to kill Aria if possible.
She was too annoying. However, since Claremento did not give the order, Sean
could only refrain, or he would be responsible for killing her.

Aria was placed under house arrest and sent to a monastery in Crosac.

She could forget about ever getting out of the monastery. Unless Claremento
died, someone else became the mayor and wanted to release her. Then she
would have a chance to see the light of day again.

Lisha regained her freedom. Although Claremento did not publicly state that
Lisha would succeed as the mayor of Crosac, it was clear to all that Lisha would
take over the position.

Crosac's city gate.

Everyone was ready to leave, while Lisha was still reluctantly bidding farewell to
Sean.

"Will you come to Crosac again?" Lisha asked.

Sean thought for a while and said, "I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not. I can't
promise you."

Hearing this, Lisha looked disappointed.

Zander felt helpless. His commander was as blunt as ever when it came to
women. He did not give them any hope.

"Go back, Lisha."

With that said, Sean mounted his horse and turned the house in Dorodo's
direction.

Watching Sean's receding figure, Lisha did not turn around for a long time.

The diplomatic convoy set off, leaving Crosac.
