In fact, Ritter had wanted to tell him the truth long ago because the honest Nasha was often ordered around by the older maids, but Nasha didn't let him say it. As for why she didn't let him say it, Nasha didn't say.
"Litte, we agreed on this. How can you say this out loud?”
"Nasha, first put your palm up on the table for my lord and Kel to see. Then look into my eyes and tell me why I can't say it?”
The person who Ritter owed the most since he was young was Nasha, followed by Will. The reason was that Will gave him food and water when he needed them the most. He also gave Nasha and her parents enough food and water at Ritter's request. As a result, Ritter and Will only had water in the middle and later stages. Without food, they could only rely on torches to catch small prey in the forest at night to satisfy their hunger.
Fortunately, whether it was Will or Ritter who was lucky, the two of them always had a good harvest every time they went out to hunt. If it wasn't a pheasant, it would be a hare or some other small animals. The biggest harvest was a wild boar as tall as Will's waist.
Of course, if it hadn't been for the wild boar chasing after Ritter as if it had taken a berserk potion, Ritter and Will wouldn't have killed it. The reason was that both Will and Ritter knew that they were no match for the wild boar. However, the wild boar chased after Ritter and ignored Will's existence. Therefore, the two of them planned to kill the wild boar. Thus, when they dragged the wild boar back to the camp, everyone received a piece of meat and a bowl of soup. At the same time, the two of them, especially Litte, received the appreciation of the captain.
However, Ritter was unable to do anything in return for Will. He couldn't even treat him to a meal. The reason was that Will had killed a horse that was running around crazily for some reason in order to save a child who was about seven or eight years old. The horse's owner, a baron, beat the horse to death on the street with a stick.
In the end, if it wasn't for Will's captain, Will's body would have been thrown out of the city by the baron to be fed to wild dogs or crows.
When he heard a soldier he knew, the one who had kicked Ritter seven years ago, mention this, Ritter immediately became furious. Even though he was only ten years old at the time, he still pulled out the wooden sword at his waist, ready to seek revenge for Will.
However, Ritey was dragged back to his wooden house by Merlin, who had roughly understood the situation through the guard's explanation. Ritey, who had gotten the baron's name and address from the soldier, was on his way there. When he closed the door of the wooden house, he patiently enlightened him.
Merlin, who often enlightened others and most of them had good results, had only managed to get a bad result when he tried to enlighten Ritter. It was a very bad result because no matter what he said, Ritter would not change his mind about killing the baron.
In the end, Merlin, who had no other choice, said a sentence in order to prevent Ritter from sending him to his death. This sentence was carved stroke by stroke on the wall next to the bed by Ritter with the heavy sword of meteoric iron under the bed. He could see it when he turned over.
'Power is the source of everything.'
Just like that, Ritter, who was angry but did not lose his mind, temporarily gave up on the idea of revenge and began to train himself crazily. At the same time, he spent a lot of effort on Nasha, or more accurately, Nasha's parents. For example, he borrowed 3,000 gold coins from Merlin every year. Then, he used these gold coins to buy a house for Nasha's parents at the market in the commoner district. Not only did he help the two of them get out of that state, but he also helped them open a grocery store. At the same time, he helped the two of them settle the purchase and sales channels.
Of course, Merlin was not the only one who had helped in this. Kel, that idiot, had also helped because he had taken care of the purchase and sales channels, the soldiers who collected taxes, and the knights who managed that area.
As for the 3,600 gold coins that he had taken from Merlin two years ago, including interest, Nasha's parents had already returned them. Or rather, Merlin had taken most of them. The reason was that whenever Merlin researched new potions or strange things, he would burn gold coins crazily, which meant that he would consume a large amount of materials. Even Litte felt heartache when he saw this.
Right now, the only thing Ritter had to do was to let Altoria and Kel see her hands that were placed on the table with her palms facing up, so as to force Altoria, who couldn't even get close to Nasha and talk to her too much, to allow him to do so, let alone spend time on Nasha.
The reason why he let Kel see it was not because it was 'coincidentally', but because Ritter wanted to use Kel's mouth to convey some news to Sir Eckart. For example, his servant girl had gone too far. If he did not do something about it, he would have to do it for him.
Of course, although Ritter was Altolia's "attendant"(servant), he was also Merlin's student. Therefore, he was qualified to discipline his servant on behalf of the head of the family, Sir Eckart. The prerequisite was that Ritter had to have a legitimate reason. Otherwise, Merlin would discipline him properly.
After stopping her meal, Altolia wiped her face with a white napkin and tilted her head to look at Nasha's hands, which were full of cracks and calluses.""What…what is going on? Why did Nasha's hand become like this? I swing my sword 2,000 times a day, but it doesn't turn out like this.”
"It's very simple. Nasha is always ordered by some people to do the dirty work that others are unwilling to do.”
Ritey smiled as he answered Altolia's question. He looked like someone who was going to be in trouble, but he didn't want to speak up for them. He was angry even when he saw Nasha's hands that hurt.
"Then…hmm…I'll talk to my father later and ask him to let Nasha do the lightest work in the house?”
Because of Ritter, Kel didn't dare to transfer Nasha to a place where no one could bully her, because that place was his own bedroom where Ritter could cut him into pieces, so he could only say that.
However, what made Kel feel strange was that he originally thought that Littery would smile and nod in acceptance. Instead of smiling and nodding, Littery shook his head with a straight face. Kel, who was about to ask Littery what he meant, was one step ahead of him."I told you, Nasha is not your maid, so you don't have to tell your father about this. You just need to tell your father to transfer all the maids in this small restaurant. Then tell them clearly that if they dare to bully Nasha again, I will discipline his maids on behalf of Sir Eckart or pay them back double.”
"Uh…Litte, do you want my father to hit me? Also, why don't you tell my father this yourself!”
Kel, who thought that he would be beaten up if he told his father about this, rolled his eyes at Ritter. Although he was a little stupid, he wasn't stupid enough to say or do something that he knew he would be beaten up.
"Don't worry, Kel. Sir Eckart won't hit you, I promise!”
"No…"
"Let me put it this way. If Sir Eckart hits you, I will let you hit me back twice as hard, whether in quantity or quality. If Sir Eckart really hit you, and I really didn't keep my promise, you can use... hmm... you know how to find a balance.”
If Rittery didn't think that his words might cause unexpected situations, he would never do that, because it would make Altoria suspicious.
Kel stared at his bright blue eyes and nodded vigorously."Alright, since you've already said that, then I…”
"I'll go after breakfast."
"Alright, I'll go after breakfast. By the way, where can I find you after I finish talking to my father? This is still the door... entrance... Hmm, I'll look for you at the door.”
After saying that, Kel started to focus on finishing his breakfast. He calmly ignored Altoria, who had already started to eat the pyramid of stewed potatoes and meat at a speed that could scare outsiders, and the blond, blue-eyed b * stard who had secretly fed Nasha meat while the people with a strand of hair on their heads were focused on the food.
However, just because Kel ignored Ritey did not mean that others would do the same. For example, the three maids who were three or four years older than Nasha were busy with their work behind Ritey and occasionally looked at him with disdain, disgust, and disdain.
When she tilted her head and opened her mouth to eat the meat that Ritter fed her, she inadvertently saw the three maids who often bullied her looking at Ritter. Nasha was about to swallow the meat in her mouth when she heard him say with a piece of meat in his mouth,"You can eat more, but you can't talk too much. If you understand what I mean, then open your mouth.”
"But…Fine, I'll open my mouth.”
"That's right."
Whether it was on his face or in his eyes, Ritter was smiling. The moment he finished his words, he stuffed the half-eaten milk bread into his mouth. Like Merlin who often pulled out something from his empty hand to tease himself, he reached into Nasha's brown, waist-length curly hair and took out a gold coin and placed it on her face…

Personally, I like Nasha.
