After getting the answer to her question, Artolia sat up and was about to get out of bed to argue with Merlin. However, just as Ritter, who did not want her to do so, sat up and hugged her from behind, the door was opened.
Ritey was shocked. He wanted to let go of Artolia and explain to the man who opened the door, but he heard the man say,""Litte, what are you doing? Ah! I told you to look after Toria from outside, but you actually…actually saw her on the bed!”
The person who had said these words in a tone filled with anger was Merlin, who wanted to teach Litte a cruel and bloody lesson.
Of course, Merlin did not appear here because he saw something through the crystal ball. He thought that the three days of confinement should have allowed Altolia to reflect on her mistakes. He did not expect to see this.
"I…I'm innocent! Merlin…It hurts! But even so, I'm still innocent! I didn't want to do anything indecent to Toria! No matter how you look at me, I look like I want to do that to Toria!”
Merlin, whose head had been washed to the side of the bed, used the staff in his hand to knock it hard. Litte, who did not stop defending himself, knew very well that if he did not give Merlin a reasonable explanation, even if he would not be burned to death, he would still be half-crippled by Merlin, whose eyes were so red that it was scary.
Fortunately, just as Merlin, whose eyes were bloodshot, raised his staff and was about to knock Ritter's head, Altoria quickly turned around and hugged Ritter's head.""Teacher Merlin! Ritter is mine! You can't hit him!"
The unquestionable tone and the lioness 'expression that said she was protecting her food, or rather, protecting her male lion, instantly extinguished the anger in Merlin's heart. This was the first time he had seen Altoria like this with his own eyes, and the first time he had heard her speak to him like this.
Merlin was both sad and happy. He was sad that Altoria, whom he had brought up, would treat him like this. He was glad that Altoria was becoming more and more like a king. He was glad that Altoria and Litte's relationship was so good that he did not have to worry about it.
Merlin knew that something bad would happen if he continued to hit Ritter. He sighed deeply and sat on the bed, looking at Artolia who was sitting on Ritter's back, holding his head and burying his face in his two buns."It's true that Litte is yours, but don't forget that you and he are both my students, Toria. Also, how long do you plan to hug Litte? When Kel came to look for you?"
"Kai…"
"Let go, Toria. Teacher Merlin won't hit me again, at least not now.”
Ritter interrupted Artolia, who was about to refute Merlin. When Merlin glared at him, Ritter raised his hand and patted Artolia's waist, making her let go of him. He moved his face away from the two soft mountains that were not very big, or even very small, and emitted an alluring fragrance.
However, even though Artolia let go of Rite, she did not get off him. Instead, under Merlin's gaze, her mouth twitched as she turned around and sat on Rite's lap. Leaning against his chest, she tilted her head and looked at Merlin like a queen sitting on the throne."Not now, and not in the future! Because Ritter is mine, I can only beat him! That's what Ritey said!"
Artolia, who was spouting nonsense in a serious manner, made Merlin believe her. With a dangerous smile on his face that made Ritter tremble involuntarily, he said,"Alright, Teacher, I won't hit your Ritter in the future. But Toria, you have to tell Teacher what else Ritter told you.”
"I didn't…"
"Litte also said that he wanted to marry me!”
After hearing what Artolia had said, Ritter immediately made the decision to throw her onto the bed and run away. However, just as he put his hands on Artolia's waist, Merlin knocked his head hard.
Upon seeing this scene, a dangerous expression appeared on Artolia's face. She was about to say something when Ritter, whose head had been knocked by Merlin with his hand, beat her to it.""I'm innocent! Teacher Merlin! You have to believe me, believe in me, who has been a good child since I was young!”
Ritter was in so much pain that he was gritting his teeth and inhaling cold air. He covered his head and said these words in a tone that sounded like he was about to cry. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't cry, he would have already laid on his bed and cried.
Upon hearing Ritter's words, Merlin glanced at Altoria, who had a dangerous expression on her face, and patted his chest.""Since you said that you were wronged, then tell me, why did Toria say that you wanted to marry her!”
"She…I…this…"
Ritey did not know how to explain the reason behind Altoria's words. When Merlin, whose expression was even more dangerous than hers, raised the hand that had knocked her head, she gritted her teeth and stomped her foot."Toria said that because she wants me to take the blame for her because she wants to marry me, not me!”
"You mean you don't want to marry me and you don't want me to marry you?”
The moment Artolia finished her words, she turned around and grabbed the golden bangs that she had cut short with her sword, which could cover his eyebrows.
Witnessing this shocking scene, Merlin, who had always thought that Ritter had discovered Altoria's real gender and was pursuing her, finally realized that he was wrong, and very wrong. It was not Ritter who was pursuing Altoria, but Altoria who was pursuing Ritter in a way that few people could accept.
"Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't dare to vomit…Sorry, I was wrong. I want to marry Toria, and I want Toria to marry me.”
Ritey had always been the kind of person who dared to think and do things, but he dared not to do such a thing emotionally. The reason was that he dared to do it. Like Atolia, she dared to be a knight who was so cruel that she would beat her servants to death and not let them eat.
Artolia narrowed her emerald eyes and stared at Rittey who was smiling apologetically for a while. When Rittey put his hand on her shoulder and shook her body tentatively, she let go of his bangs."Litte, let me tell you, if you don't want to end up like 'that man', you'd better not lie to me!”
Altolia, who warned Litte, did not know that if he ended up like 'that man', she would be the one who would be the most upset. However, she soon knew because Merlin, who was watching them from the side, spoke up.
"If the 'man' you're talking about is the 'man' you hacked the day before yesterday, I feel that I have to tell you that the man died at noon yesterday.”
"How…how…how is this possible? I only chopped off that man's entire arm at that time. I didn't hurt his life! Moreover, that man still had the strength to shout at me to wait when I left. He would definitely come to take revenge on me! How could he have died on the second day?!”
She didn't realize that she had already told him the reason why the man died, nor did she care about what had just happened. Although she was not stupid, she didn't know how to use her extraordinary strength to cut people.
Ritter noticed that Altolia's expression had changed. After glancing at Merlin, who had a calm expression, he raised his hands to cup her cheeks and said to her with a gentle smile,""My lord, you don't have to do this, because you did what a knight should do.”
"But…"
"Besides, strictly speaking, that man's death has nothing to do with you. There are two reasons. First, that man didn't die the day before yesterday, when you cut off his arm.”
Ritey did not want Altoria to feel guilty for the man who had cheated many women and money. He began to talk nonsense, which Merlin thought was both good and bad, and diverted Altoria's attention from this to other aspects.
"What about the other reason?"
As expected, Artolia, who believed in Litte unconditionally, was distracted by him.
At this point, Ritter, who thought he could continue, raised his left hand with a serious expression. He raised his index finger and pointed above his head."The remaining reason is that I believe that man would have died yesterday afternoon whether his arm was cut off by you or not. It's because as Teacher Merlin often said, everything is decided by fate.”
"This…"
"Think about it. If that man really died because you cut off his arm, then why didn't he die on the same night or today when you cut off his arm?”
Seeing that Altoria was still hesitating, Ritter decisively gave her another shot. After thinking about what she had said, she nodded her head vigorously.
"Yes! I understand now. That man's death was inevitable. Even if I didn't cut off his arm, he would have died yesterday afternoon!”
Ritter's serious expression disappeared as soon as she said that. She smiled and pinched Artolia's smooth cheeks, which were no longer blaming herself."Apple, do you want some?"
"Eat!"
"Then…um…here, here you go."
Saying that, Rittery, who was wearing clothes that didn't look like an apple, conjured a big red apple out of thin air for Altolia. Before Altolia took the apple away from him, he put the apple in her hand and asked her to run behind him to do her favorite thing…
