chapter 24
I told her.
“As I said before, express your thoughts and opinions.”
Ashel flinched and turned around.
Then he nodded his head and opened his mouth.
“Can I help that employee?”
“do whatever you want.”
It was the moment when Ashel was about to get up in response to my answer.
“I, Young-ae.”
A voice came first from somewhere else.
It was a young man sitting in a corner seat.
As he approached her, he intercepted the collapsed employee with a sly smile and said:
“I’m sorry to interrupt you, but if you forgive me at this point, this employee will be greatly impressed by Youngae-sama’s generosity. So…”
“What are you? Aren’t you off?”
The woman pushed the man away and picked up the glass bottle that was on the table. It’s like he’s trying to hit the employee’s head with that.
The man was startled by this and quickly grabbed his wrist.
turuk.
At the same time, the escort knight standing next to her also grabbed the man’s arm.
I could see his face contorted in pain from how tightly he held it.
“······her?”
The woman, who had been looking at the hand holding her wrist as if she was amazed, immediately shifted her cool gaze to the man.
“Did you take my arm? You dare?”
“I, once fixed….”
“Gerald, cut off his wrist.”
The man’s expression hardened.
The knight took his hand to the hilt without hesitation, as if he was really trying to carry out his orders.
That was the moment.
Bump!
Ashel approached the knight and grabbed his arm.
The knight holding his arm frowned and looked back at Ashel.
And it seemed to give him strength, as if he was trying to get rid of it, but it couldn’t be.
When his arm did not move at all, the knight looked embarrassed.
“What else is this? Do these lowly things keep interrupting me because I’m crazy?”
“············”.
“What are you doing, Gerald! Cut this crazy bitch!”
However, the knight’s arm was still immovable.
Seeing his face completely red with blood, he seemed to be bewildered as to whether the woman had understood the situation, then turned and looked at me.
“Hey, there’s black hair! This is your escort! Don’t you hurry up?! Do you know who I am?!”
·······The black hair is calling me now?
He couldn’t even laugh because it was ridiculous, but Barros’s expression turned harsher.
“I don’t even know the subject…”
It seemed like he was going to summon a spirit and launch an attack, so I gestured as if to stay still and opened my mouth.
“You’re superstitious.”
“·······What? What? Thing?”
“It’s so vulgar to run like a foal with a tail on fire. Stop making a fuss and get out.”
It was then that Ashel released the hand she was holding. The knight grabbed his arm and stepped back.
The trembling woman screamed once, then glared at me as if she was going to kill me.
“Kill it! Don’t stay still like an asshole, kill him right now!”
The knight hesitated, and eventually took his hand to the hilt of the sword.
I told Ashel.
“If you draw a sword, cut both of them.”

At my words, the knight’s motion stopped as it was.
She looked at me and Ashhel with an expression that looked like they were about to break out in a cold sweat, and then glanced at the woman again.
“What are you doing! That bastard said I was vulgar! I’ll kill you quickly!”
Shouting out loud, she seemed to understand the situation, slept and half lost. It looks like a swarm of cubs.
‘It’s a little bit, really.’
I said with a small click on my tongue.
“If it sounds empty, pull out your sword. Or take the noisy thing and go out.”
The knight stared intently at me and finally released his hand from the hilt.
It seemed that the difference in ability was clearly realized after competing directly with Ashel.
Instead, he opened his mouth and spoke in a threatening voice.
“…I don’t know who Confucius is, but he’s making a big mistake right now. This is the mayor of this city….”
Instead of answering, I beckoned to Ashel.
When she took her hand to the hilt, the knight could not finish speaking and shut his mouth again.
“this······!”
The woman, who was furious at the sight, trembled and trembled as if she could not overcome her fury, and slapped the knight on the cheek.
The knight was just silently hitting the hand that slapped him hard over and over again.
The woman who had been so angered turned her gaze again and glared at me savagely.
“You’re really going to kill me. Do you know who my father is? He’s the mayor of this city. The whole city belongs to our family.”
“············”.
“I’ll make sure to pay the price for teasing you on that lowly tongue. I’ll make you crawled between my crotch and won’t be able to walk on two legs again without praying.”
Then he turns around and strides out of the store.
The escort driver followed her and left, and the store went silent. All eyes around him turned towards him.
‘Wow······.’
That’s great.
On the one hand, with admiration, I looked at the place where she had disappeared.
Baros looked at the door through which she had left with cold, sunken eyes, and said cautiously to me.
“If you give me a word, I will meet the mayor of this city in person. That cheeky girl….”
“done.”
Neither Enrok nor any other monarchy, he didn’t want to make a fuss.
Because my whereabouts could be revealed to other lords, and in that case, there might be a guy who cares about me needlessly.
But now that it’s like this, can it be done?
From the moment I intervened, I knew it was going to get annoying.
Thinking of seeing the face of the mayor who raised that great idiot tomorrow, I immediately turned off my nerves.
“Are you okay?”
Ashel raised the fallen employee.
The manager and other employees, who had been watching, approached her belatedly with regretful faces.
Asher returned to her seat after handing it over to them and sat down with her head bowed with a slightly puzzled look.
The man who was standing still at that time also approached this way.
He was a man who nearly cut off his wrist for interrupting before Ashel could step forward.
“Hey, thank you. Confucius and the lord helped me live. I almost lived as an outsider for the rest of my life.”
I nodded as I watched him say thank you with a sly smile.
He was a man who looked like an ordinary stranger in his attire.
Still, he seemed to have a pretty good personality because he was the only one out of those who just watched the madman’s atrocities. I’m not blaming those who didn’t.
‘··········?’
But, wait a minute…
I looked at the man’s face carefully once again, in a moment of faint familiarity.
It’s like the first time I discovered Ashel.
As I stared intently, the man looked at me with puzzled eyes.
I asked him.
“What’s your name?”
“Yes?”
He seemed perplexed for a moment, but then answered with a sly smile again.
“My name is Lian, Confucius.”
Ryan.
It was then that an NPC character appeared in my memory.
A young man with the same appearance as the one in front of me now, with blonde green eyes.
‘her.’
I was surprised to myself, and on the other hand, I was surprised by this strange coincidence, and I repeated his name.
Not the pseudonym I just said, but the real real name I’m hiding.
‘Tair Bamon.’
The abandoned youngest prince of Earth Hill, a neutral country.
He is not to the point of being called the main character in the Lhasa universe, but among the supporting actors, he was the most lead character.
The Earth Hill Neutral Nations episode related to it was one of my favorite main stories of the game.
Yes, it was 5 years ago now, so I haven’t returned to the kingdom yet, and I’ve been wandering around Calderik…
“I… the dish came out.”
At that time, the waitress came to the table with the finished dish in person.
Tasty fried chicken pieces came out in a basket full.
I glanced at the chicken, then looked at the table where Rihann was sitting, then looked back at him.
and asked.
“It’s a relationship, too, would you like to have dinner together?”
“······Yes?”
What kind of nonsense is this again? Rihann’s eyes widened.
Ashel and Baros, who were seated in the front, also looked at me with questioning eyes as to why I wanted to be here all of a sudden.
But the context was good.
I wanted to talk to him.
It was because I thought that maybe there was something to be gained from this relationship I met by chance.
***
The Keynes family was a venerable family of the 5th Monarchy, serving as mayor of the city of Bilpek for ninth generation.
Mayor Colton Keynes was having a late dinner with a distinguished guest who had not visited the mansion in a long time.
“So, there were rumors that the seventh monarchs who were enthroned this time immediately crushed one of the tops…”
When Colton asked a hint, the middle-aged prisoner nodded and said.
“It seems that the owner of the workshop where the upper part was working was somehow related to the monarch. I don’t know the details, either.
“············· So creepy. What kind of person do you think you are? I heard that you are an outsider, a human being.”
“I’m just an administrator, what do I know. I don’t know anything more special than you.”
He was Laika, an administrator belonging to the 7th Monarchs who stopped by here for a short time on business.
He was also, apparently, a close friend of the mayor Colton.
“I’ve never done anything other than the top job. They said he was looking at a map all day before I left the castle.”
“Huh? It’s a map, what…….”
“The atmosphere in Seintea and the neutral countries is not unusual these days, so it may have something to do with it. I’m careful not to say everything, so don’t ask too much.”
Even if they were the only ones present, talking about the monarch was something that could not be talked about as casually as small talk.
The two quickly switched the topic to another story.
Then there was a commotion at the entrance of the restaurant.
Colton tilted his head at the sight of his daughter walking into the dining room, cheering.
“You came back early, sweetheart. I said I was going to visit the night market, but the sun hasn’t set yet.”
The youngest daughter, who died after giving birth to his wife at the age of only three sons, was a precious treasure to him.
Daughter, Denbri, greeted Leica first.
“I’m sorry for disturbing the two of you.”
Leica nodded her head. To be honest, I was a little offended, but knowing that Colton loved his youngest daughter so much, I got over it.
she told Colton.
“Do you know what insult I just came out of, Dad?”
“······Well?”
“He said he dared to say to me that a thousand things that I didn’t know about the subject were vulgar! This idiot can’t even draw a sword, he’s just watching it!”
Colton hardened his expression and wiped his lips with a napkin.
Leica also paid attention to the story with an interesting expression on her face.
It was a fact that no one in the city did not know that the Denbri girl was an idiot. But did she come back after being humiliated by someone?
“Tell me more about what’s going on.”
To him, Denbri explained what had happened in the restaurant.
An employee who spilled drinks on his dress, an escort driver interrupted while training the employee, and the abusive language the knight’s owner uttered.
As the explanation continued, Laika looked at her with a slightly bewildered look.
It was absurd to say so proudly that he had committed such severe violence for just such a thing.
Colton’s expression, on the other hand, remained even more serious.
For him, it wasn’t her behavior that mattered, but the insults she suffered.
“Do you know who that bastard is?”
“I don’t know. At most, he must be from a poor family.”
“Well······.”
“It’s so humiliating that I think I’m going to die, Dad. I can’t live without getting an apology from him for banging my head on the floor.”
Colton asked Gerald, the escort knight standing next to him.
“How was that knight’s skill? To be honest.”
