There was a strong tremble that came over Henry's body before he suddenly said with a smile, "Brother in law, what are you saying?"
The smile wasn't a confident one, but rather a desperate one.
It was like he knew that his situation was very bad, so he could only cling to the only straw that was available to him.
But I wasn't that easy to fool.
With a calm and cold look on my face, I said, "Did you think that I wouldn't know what you did? Did you really take me for a fool?"
Henry was shocked and confused when he heard this.
The expression on his face made it clear that he had never expected to hear this.
It was as if he thought that his plans had been perfect and there was no way that he would have been caught.
There was a part of me that recognized him as an idiot when this look appeared on his face.
After all, the things that he did...were just too obvious to call them hiding it well.
Just a simple search was enough to uncover everything that he did...
I really couldn't understand how he managed to look so confident like he had done something great.
But still, that was the kind of fool that I was dealing with.
After a long silence, Henry kept playing the fool by saying, "Brother in law, I really don't know what you're talking about. I think that there must be some kind of misunderstanding. So how about we just go back to the ground and talk this through?"
I shook my head and said with a sigh, "You made two mistakes in the end."
Henry was even more confused when he heard this, but he didn't say anything as he looked at me with a cautious look.
It was as if he was trying to figure out what I was going to do.
I didn't mind this as I just calmly said, "Your first mistake was thinking that you could take advantage of me. Instead of just welcoming me like you should have, you wanted to be greedy and wanted to get all that you could from me. You thought of me as an easy mark, which was why you did all of this."
Henry once again trembled when he heard this, but at the very least, he could pretend to deny this. At the very least, he did what a villain would do and pretend that he didn't know anything about this.
It was just that I didn't bother listening to him as I continued to the second point.
"The second mistake is that you set your eyes on someone else's wife."
Henry immediately stopped talking the moment that he heard this.
His eyes opened wide in shock when he heard this as he looked at me.
Then he slowly looked at Cecilia who was on the side with a hesitant look. Only there was a trace of hopefulness that was in his eyes as he looked at her.
After hesitating for a bit, he finally said, "You're the one who's forcing her to stay by your side. You're just a tyrant who doesn't care about her at all!"
It seemed that he was giving up trying to act like he didn't know anything.
Instead, he looked like he wanted to confront me with the way that he said this.
"We're the ones that are childhood friends, the one that should have been destined for each other. If it wasn't for…"
His voice trailed off a bit, but it was clear that he was referring to how Cecilia had gone off with Rose when she had been married off to the baron.
Then he said with a firm look, "I would have gone for her and taken her as my bride when the time came, but now you've stolen her from me!"
Then turning to Cecilia, he said, "I'm the one that truly loves you, the only one that can take care of you! You should come back with me!"
Cecilia just shook her head with a sigh when she heard this, but it seemed like she was too exasperated with him to actually correct him.
In fact, Cecilia had already told me that she was very bothered by all the things that Henry did when they were younger.
It was one of the reasons why she had even followed Rose in the first place.
Seeing this, I knitted my brows.
This idiot was completely ignoring me and confessing to my wife, where did that put me?
There was no respect given to me at all.
I was being treated like I didn't even exist!
How could I let him do something like that?
So I waved my hand at Cecilia, who looked at me with a confused look. Still, she came over to Joan and got on Joan's back to come to my side.
When she came over, I looked at Henry and grabbed Cecilia by the waist to pull her in. 𝒻𝓻𝘦𝑒𝓌𝑒𝓫𝓷𝑜𝓋𝘦𝓵.𝓬𝘰𝓂
Cecilia was surprised by this action, but she didn't resist at all as she let me do what I wanted.
At the same time, there was this blush that came over her face.
Henry's face immediately turned dark when he saw this before he roared, "What are you doing?!"
I just calmly said, "She's my wife, I can do whatever I want with her."
Then before he could say anything, I grabbed Cecilia's cheek and turned her face over to give her a deep kiss.
Cecilia was caught off guard by this and she seemed even more embarrassed at being treated like this, but she didn't resist as she let me do what I wanted.
No, she didn't just let me do what I wanted, she even got into it.
By the end, it was as if she was the one that had engaged.
By the end, Henry had a look on his face like a stake had been driven into his heart and he completely lost control of himself.
He tried to charge forward, but the knight that was with him on the wyvern suddenly hit him in the back of the head and knocked him out.
Seeing this, I stopped kissing Cecilia and to her disappointment, I said to the rest of the knights, "We're heading back."
All of them nodded, though there were strange looks on their faces as they looked at me.
