The Youngest Daughter of the Swordsmanship Family Turned Great Mage (32 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 154

“I was asking whether Your Highness knows what Rogette has done behind my back.”

There was certainty in the voice of Duke Adrian as he asked. Joshua realized that he was not simply probing him, but had drawn a conclusion based on reasonable grounds.

However, regardless of the reason, it was still not appropriate for Joshua to reveal all the facts. Instead, he decided to find out what Duke Adrian was suspecting in return.

“I do not understand why you would say such a thing to me. Even Master, who stays with the princess, does not know—how could I possibly know?”

“If I say I do not know, will you believe me?”

“Your Highness, the situation is serious. For Rose’s sake, could you not tell me everything you know?”

As expected, Duke Adrian was not simply testing Joshua based on mere suspicion. Joshua let out a small sigh.

“Master, why do you think the princess would have done something behind your back? She does not seem like the type to cause trouble without your knowledge.”

“But if she did something before meeting me, then naturally I would not know.”
