As soon as she said this, Ron couldn't help looking aghast.
It was almost as if he had seen a ghost.
After opening and closing his mouth a few tis, he finally stuttered, "Young miss, how, how do you, you know about that?"
Ronnie revealed a sly smile like a raccoon before saying, "Who knows? But Uncle Ron, you should really learn to hide your things better in the future."
Ron looked like he really wanted to say sothing else, but seeing that there were others here, he just gave a sigh. Then with a cough, he said, "Young miss, you should know that this is a very dangerous trip, so this Ron still asks you to reconsider."
Ronnie ignored this and said, "Alright, let's get going!"
Ron gave another sigh before turning to us to say, "Before we do, we should ask these gentlen if we're imposing on them or not."
As he said this, he looked at us with a look that was asking for help.
Both of us were stunned when we saw this.
We had expected Ron to convince Ronnie, but it seed that he was just as helpless as us when it ca to this willful young miss.
It was unknown what he was expecting from us, but we were just as helpless when it ca to dealing with Ronnie.
Still at the very least, there was an excuse for us to give a refusal now.
"Well, actually…" Before I could say anything else, I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine.
I saw that Ronnie was now glaring at as I said this, almost as if she was saying, "If you dare…"
We had already seen what she had done to Ron, so even if she didn't know us that well, I was afraid of what she would do to us. If we were to reject her like this, it was hard to imagine what would happen, but we should expect sothing bad to happen.
So with a sigh, I said, "It's no bother at all…"
There was a defeated tone in my voice when I said this.
Ronnie revealed a happy smile when she heard this while Ron revealed a disappointed look, but he quickly made that look disappear when he saw the way that Ronnie turned back to look at him.
It seed that if he did anything else, she might really reveal his secret…
So he had no choice but to accept this with a sigh.
As for and Shaka, I secretly leaned in and said, "We'll just do so preliminary investigations today. We won't go too far since we have soone with us."
Shaka gave a nod in response without saying a thing.
But we both agreed that this wasn't the worst thing in the world.
After all, this would give us so kind of cover as we explored these ruins.
With Ronnie and Ron here, we could justify what we were doing here if soone passed by.
But in truth, that was just trying to justify my weakness in letting her co with us.
While we were secretly talking, Ronnie also moved over to Ron and said in a low voice, "Uncle Ron, these two are the ones from last night."
When Ron heard this, he couldn't help looking back at Zwein and Shaka with narrowed eyes.
After a few seconds, he turned back and said, "Young miss, I understand that cloaked person, but are you sure that this handso young man is also part of 'that'?"
When he said 'that', there was a tone of reverence in his voice.
Ronnie gave a nod in response to this and said, "In fact, it's the one that you're looking down on that's in charge. The one that you're afraid of is just his subordinate."
When Ron heard this, he revealed a shocked look.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Shaka was the one that was in charge and Zwein was just putting on a front. He was nothing more than the cover for Shaka who was really in charge.
But he never thought that it would actually be the way that it seed where Zwein was in charge and Shaka was just the muscle.
After a mont of silence, Ron asked, "Young miss, how do you know all of this?"
Ronnie revealed a sly smile and gave a wink before saying, "It's a secret."
There were three black lines that appeared on Ron's head when he heard this, but he knew better than to ask.
When the young miss acted like this, no matter what anyone said, they wouldn't be able to change her mind.
Once she was in this mood, she just acted however she wanted without a care.
Perhaps this wouldn't work if she didn't have the status and power that she had, but she did have it so there was nothing that anyone could do to her.
Ronnie just ignored Ron after he revealed this expression and turned her eyes to look back at Zwein.
All of a sudden, I couldn't help feeling a chill run down my spine.
It was almost as if soone had locked onto like a predator going after prey…
…
Back in Bright Water City, in the duke's manor.
"Where's Veronica today?" The duke suddenly asked the duchess who had visited him in his office.
The duchess gave a shrug to show that she didn't know anything before turning to the maid that ca with her.
This maid was her trusted aide and did everything for her.
The maid gave a bow to both the duke and duchess before saying, "The young miss went out with knight captain Ron early in the morning, saying sothing about going out to have 'fun'."
When they heard this, both the duke and duchess revealed complicated and dark looks.
After all, they knew what kind of personality their daughter had.
When she said she was going out to have 'fun', it was better to say that she was going out to cause trouble…
They just hoped that she wouldn't get in too much trouble this ti…
