Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent

Chapter 171: Vivian’s Secret Affair

In the next few days, news about Alaric and Hersheyʼs upcoming wedding spread across the surrounding cities. It was a union between two of the most powerful houses in the North, so everyone was looking forward to this event.

While many were excited about this, certain people felt the exact opposite.

One of these was Vivian, Baron Nathanʼs wife.

At this moment, Vivian was drinking alcohol in her room, her face looking incredibly unsightly to behold.

”That fucking bitch!” She angrily threw the glass she was holding at the wall, smashing it into pieces.

Her plan to take over House Paxley using her sons had become increasingly difficult. Her youngest son Liam had become a fugitive and was currently in hiding, while her oldest son Theo had become distant from her.

”This is because of that annoying bitch! Everything fell apart because of her!” Vivianʼs voice shook with anger.

She believed that the reason for this series of misfortunes was Hershey.

The shaking of her body suddenly stopped as she lifted her head, revealing a look of madness on her face. ”Should I kill her?”

The instant she uttered those words, a twisted smile hung on her lips.

”Why did I not think of doing this before?” Vivianʼs emotionless voice echoed inside the room.

She turned her head and saw her reflection in the mirror.

Seeing her disheveled appearance, she immediately tidied her hair.

”Leandro…” She called out.

Whoosh!

A figure suddenly appeared behind her.

Vivian stared at the person through the mirror. He was a middle-aged man with handsome facial features wearing leather armor with a steel breastplate.

”My lady, what are your orders?”

”How many soldiers do we have right now?” Vivian asked.

The man pondered for a moment before he responded. ”Initially we had over a hundred warriors, but we sent some of them to follow Lord Liam. Now, we only have over eighty warriors. Including me, we have four Elite Knights and ten Knights. The rest are Knight Apprentices and normal warriors.”

Viviam combed her hair with a brush as she spoke. ”If I want to kill that bitch, how many should we send?”

The handsome middle-aged warrior knew who she was referring to. As someone who had always been at her side, he was aware of her hatred toward Hershey.

”Thereʼs no need to send so many warriors. I alone will be enough, my lady.” He answered confidently.

Vivian frowned upon hearing this. She turned around and looked at him. ”No! That will be dangerous! I do not want you to be in danger!”

Leandro smiled faintly at her words. ”Iʼm ready to die for you, my lady. As long as it can make you happy, I will do anything!”

”Leandro…” Vivian approached him.

The handsome middle-aged warrior took her in his arms and gave her a passionate kiss, greedily sucking her tongue and her lips.

After a long while, the two finally separated.

Vivian stared into his eyes and said. ”Send someone else to do the job. I do not want you to take any risk.”

Leandro nodded as he gently rubbed her back. ”Alright. I will send Austin and a small group of elites for the job.”

Hearing this, Vivianʼs face broke into a smile.

Austin was one of the Elite Knights that she had been secretly nurturing for a long time. If it was him, killing Hershey would definitely be an easy task.

Leandro suddenly leaned closer to her and whispered.

”Letʼs talk about that later. Why donʼt we continue what we have started?”

Before she could even respond, she felt a strong pair of hands tugging at her dress, before pulling them apart.

Vivian yelped in surprise.

”Wait! That fat pig might come here…” She looked at him with a pleading gaze, but instead of stopping, Leandro removed the final layer that covered her body.

”Doesnʼt it excite you?” Leandro whispered before he pinned her against the wall with her back facing him.

”Wait! We really canʼt do it-”

Uhn~

A soft moan leaked out of her mouth when she felt a warm object suddenly penetrating her from behind.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

Uhn~ Mn~

Leandro squeezed her waist as he forcefully slammed her ass repeatedly.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

Meanwhile, in another part of Ryvaad. Alaric went to visit the church with Hershey.

”Are you sure that Bishop Anton will agree to your request?” Hershey asked while looking at Alaric with a hint of worry.

Alaric had already told her about the situation, but she was uncertain whether the bishop would accept the request.

Alaric smiled at her and replied. ”Truthfully, I am not sure if he would agree, but since we are already here. Let us just go in and try.”

”Alright then.”

The two headed inside the church under the guidance of a deacon.

The deacon brought them to the guest room where the bishop was already waiting for them.

[Do you want to use Appraisal on the target?]

[Yes] [No]

Alaric clicked [Yes].

Alaric widened his eyes when he saw the bishopʼs attributes. What surprised him the most was the old manʼs incredibly high mana.

He had never seen one with such high mana before!

”Oh, my! To think that the newest couple in the city would actually come to visit me! Iʼm honored.” Bishop Anton warmly greeted them.

”Thank you for having the time to see us, Your Excellency.” Alaric cupped his fists as he smiled.

They exchanged pleasantries before the bishop told them to take their seats.

”So why did you come to visit me? Are you here to invite me to officiate your wedding?” The bishop smiled lightly while staring at the young couple.

”Thatʼs right. It will be our honor to have you at our wedding.”
