The next morning, Margaret declined the patriarch's warm invitation, saying that she wanted to visit an old friend. At the banquet last night, the clan leader also heard from Baz that he had seen this young lady when he was traveling, so he asked someone to bring her to Baz's house.
After thanking the people who led the way, Margaret led a few of her men into Baz's tent and was surprised to find that only Rita was left in the tent. Seeing that there was a visitor, Rita hurriedly put down what she was doing and poured tea.
"Rita, where's Baz?”
Margaret asked as she looked at the shabby but clean tent.
"Miss, Brother Baz and Brother Ika have gone out to train. Please wait, I'll go call him now.”
Rita replied hurriedly.
"No need, I just came over to take a look.”
Margaret stopped the girl who was walking out.
This morning, Brother Baz came back from his night patrol. He seemed to have changed completely. He was no longer as worried as before and was much more energetic. It was obvious that it was because of this young lady's arrival. Could this be the person that Big Brother liked?
Thinking of this, Rita stole a glance at Margaret and quickly denied this possibility in her heart.
Although this young lady was very easy-going, she always had a temperament that made people unable to help but listen to her. The gaze that Big Brother looked at her with was that kind of respect and admiration, just like the feeling he had when he looked at his parents when he was young. It was a feeling of respect and trust, not love.
Although he didn't know where this young lady came from, someone who could make his big brother admire her so much was definitely not an ordinary person.
Margaret chatted with Rita casually and soon found out what had happened to Baz's family in the past few years.
"I see."
said Margaret.
"So your two brothers train every day, hoping to get a good place in the Batulu Festival and earn some prizes for the tribe?”
"Yes, I am."
Rita was no longer as restrained as she was at the beginning. She said worriedly.
"But for some reason, brother Ika can't shoot accurately. In order to help him, big brother also put down his own training. What if on the day of the competition, both of them can't get good results?”
"It won't happen."
Margaret comforted Rita.
"I don't know about your brother Ika, but your brother Baz is the kind of person who gets braver the more he loses. He definitely won't let these things affect his performance in the competition.”
"I hope so."
Rita still couldn't laugh.
While the two of them chatted, Margaret's three subordinates were busy. Lauder was busy making a fire and moving things, while Mary was cutting vegetables. As for cooking, Daley was in charge of it. During this time, Rita felt embarrassed and wanted to help a few times, but she was stopped by Margaret. After a while, Daley brought a bowl of soup to Margaret.
"Yes."
Margaret took a sip and nodded.
"The mutton soup tastes good, but the heat is a little too high. Next time, you don't have to cook it for so long.”
"Yes."
Daley scooped a few more bowls of soup and placed them in front of the others.
After taking a sip, Rita's eyes widened.
He had never tasted such delicious mutton soup before, but Miss was still not satisfied.
"Baz and the others aren't coming back for lunch?”
asked Margaret.
"Yes, I am. Brother Baz and brother Ika don't come back at noon. In the past, I was the one who sent food.”
Rita replied.
"Oh, I see. I'm a little tired from sitting. Let's go for a walk.”
Margaret took Rita's hand.
"Mary, go and tell the patriarch that I plan to move with the tribe during this period of time. Tell him that I want to watch the Batulu Festival competition. Lauder, Daley, go and look at the other trainees and help them. After all, Baz is also your senior.”
"Yes."
"Let's go."
Seeing the three of them leave the tent, Margaret brought Rita out of the tent with a basket.
Everything was still the same as yesterday. Ika's hand would tremble involuntarily at the last moment.
After staring blankly at his hands for a while, Ika squatted down and hugged his head.
"Ika, don't be anxious."
Seeing his brother's actions, Baz hurriedly walked over to comfort him.
"I know, big brother."
Taking a few deep breaths, Ika raised his head.
Margaret, who was watching from afar, shook her head slightly.
"Brother Baz, Brother Ika!"
Seeing that her two brothers had stopped practicing, Rita hurried over with Margaret.
"Miss."
Seeing Margaret and Rita appear together, Baz was slightly stunned.
"The weather is good today. I wanted to walk around. Rita said that she was going to bring you lunch, so I came to take a look.”
said Margaret lightly.
"Oh."
Baz could not figure out what Margaret was thinking, so he could only answer. He opened the lunch box, picked out a meal, and held it in front of Margaret.
"I've eaten. You and your brother can eat. After you're done eating, let him practice and let me see.”
"Yes."
Baz and Ika took a bite of the food and were stunned. They couldn't help but turn to look at Rita.
Rita shook her head shyly at her two brothers.
After dinner, Margaret said she wanted to watch Ika practice, so Rita returned to the tribe alone.
Standing beside the target and watching Ika shoot a few arrows, Margaret sighed slightly.
"Miss, is there anything wrong?"
Baz hurriedly asked.
"He has a big problem here."
Margaret pointed at her heart.
"If you don't solve your heart problem, no matter how hard you train, it will be futile.”
"Then what should we do?"
"Batulu Festival is almost here. You should go and practice.”
Margaret suddenly changed the topic.
"After all, the hopes of your clansmen rest on you.”
"But my brother…"
Baz was about to retort, but when he saw Margaret's gaze, he lowered his head.
"Leave your brother to me. Just focus on your training.”
said Margaret straightforwardly.
"I will do my best to help him walk out of his inner demons. In return, you must at least find the outline of your own rhythm.”
Hearing Margaret's promise, Baz's body trembled, and his dull eyes lit up.
Ika saw his brother walking towards him after talking to the lady for a while.
" Ika, Miss told me just now that she saw the training of the swordsmen team in our tribe and was very dissatisfied. She hoped that I could go back and guide them so that they could get a place in the team competition. Moreover, the festival is coming soon, so I should go and train.”
Hearing that his elder brother was acting out of character and was actually willing to practice, Ika nodded despite his doubts.
"Ika."
Margaret said to the young man in front of her.
"Your brother and I have something to do. If you want to continue practicing, stay here and go back by yourself tonight.”
Ika did not know why, but he did not feel any displeasure when he saw the young lady who had snatched his brother away from him. He just nodded obediently and drew his bow again.
