Chapter 222: KABOOM

[Charles POV]

"Master. What did you do?"

The defense forces of this city surrounded Rose and me. I also had no idea what had happened. I don't remember doing anything wrong. Being surrounded had Rose scared, which made me cover for her.

"Is there a problem? Officers?"

One of the officers walked up to me. I would assume that he would be the leader of these people.

"We have reported that you have stolen an item from the auction."

"Stole? That's quite the accusation. Can you prove that I did? And if I did, could you tell me what I stole?"

Did that black-dress bitch frame me? She was the only person I knew who could do this. If I find someone who tried to screw me over, I will ruin them.

"That's what we're here for. Cooperating would be in your best interest. As for the item, all we were told was that you had stolen something."

That was vague. It was suspicious, no matter how you thought about it. Even so, I had to comply with their request.
