Ritey didn't give the two of them a chance to ask him any questions. He quickly caught up with Altoria, who was one step ahead of him, Kel, and Nasha. He told them that he wouldn't answer them even if they asked him the question in their hearts.
Kel, who understood this but still wanted to voice his doubts, opened his mouth and closed it, because he saw Nasha, who had been staring at Ritter, put away the doubts on her face and chased after him in her black maid dress.
"What happened today?"
Leaving this question unanswered, Kel ran up to the three people led by Altoria and became mute.
However, when they arrived at the entrance of the market in the commoner district, Kel stopped being mute. The reason was that a knight and ten soldiers had blocked their way.
Looking at the knights and soldiers who did not draw their swords and only raised their hands to block their way, Ritter knew why. He did not wait for this knight, who should be a captain, to speak and pointed at Kel."He did it. Arrest him."
Ritter's words made Kel, whose mind was filled with question marks, understand when he saw Ritter point at his chin with his other finger and then in that direction."Oh, yes, I did it. Arrest me.”
After saying that, Kel came to stand in front of Litte with an indifferent expression and separated him from the knight.
Of course, the reason why Kel, who had never fought, would take the blame for Ritter was that fighting was a trivial matter to him as a noble. However, it was not the case for Ritter. Ritter was not a noble, but a servant. He would be brought back to the barracks for interrogation by the knight. Then, he would be discovered to be an alien and sent to the stake to be burned to ashes.
If things got to this point, no one would be able to save him except for King Yuse, who was now beyond cure. Merlin could not save him either. This was what Merlin had said in front of Aaloria, Litte, and Kel.
After learning from the report that it was not Kel who had beaten him up, but the cloaked man behind him and the blond youth standing on his right, the knight sighed and took off his helmet to rub his slightly swollen forehead."My little noble lord, you really know how to trouble me.”
The knight's words made the smart Ritter instantly understand what was going on. Therefore, before Kel could speak, he spoke in a calm tone,"A person wanted to hit another person, but what he didn't expect was that the person who wanted to hit that person was hit by that person. Therefore, the person who wanted to hit someone felt a little unbalanced and went to find 'external help' to vent his anger. Foreign aid…no, Mr. Knight."
"The wicked first to complain…?"
Seeing the hesitation in the knight's tone, Ritter felt that the opportunity to completely solve this problem had come. He quickly took a step back and used this method to attract the attention of the knight and the ten soldiers. He raised his hands and made a gesture to Nasha."Gentlemen, please tell me, when you want to fight someone, will you bring a servant girl who has no combat strength and no weapons?”
"I won't."
"Isn't this nonsense? Definitely not, even if he had a weapon, it would still be the same…Damn it! Those brats lied to us!"
"Damn it! Let's go! Go back and settle the score with those brats!”
"You guys…sigh…alright, I wish you and your companions a wonderful day, my little noble lord.”
The knight who left this sentence took a deep look at Ritter before leaving. His intuition told him that Ritter was very smart and dangerous.
Ritter narrowed his eyes and stared at the knight who was chasing after his subordinates who would definitely beat up those guys. After he ran away, he whispered,"This guy is definitely new. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought…”
"Ritter."
When Artolia saw Ritter shift his gaze from the knight to her, she raised her right hand and pointed at the fruit stall near the entrance of the market.""I want sweet oranges."
"Yes, my lord."
Knowing that the reason why Artolia interrupted him was not because she wanted the orange, but because she didn't want him to continue, Rittery patted Kel's shoulder and went to the fruit stall to buy some oranges for Artolia.
"What could happen to someone who's just buying fruits?”
Kel knew why Ritter patted his shoulder before he left for the fruit stall. Although he said that, his body obediently did as Ritter wished.
Seeing Kel pull out the wooden sword from the leather bag tied to his waist at the entrance of the crowded market, Altoria was very dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything because she knew why Kel would do that.
Artolia, who didn't want to bring any inconvenience or danger to others, grabbed Nasha's wrist and brought Kel to stand behind Ritter. Before Nasha, who didn't know whether 'she' was 'him', broke free from her hand, she retracted her hand and looked at Ritter, who was putting sweet oranges into a brown linen bag that was about one foot square."I'm no longer the same person as before, so I can protect myself.”
After that, Artolia picked up a big orange from the fruit stall and brought it to Ritter.
After glancing at the sweet orange, Ritter put it into the bag and said to Altoria who was calm but serious,""Do you mean that you no longer need my protection? My lord."
"No."
"Then don't say such words again, because it sounds like you don't need my protection anymore.”
Rittery knew that his words might anger Artolia, and he knew that he was being overly protective of her. However, he knew that, but he wouldn't change anything, because the purpose of his existence was to protect Artolia.
Upon hearing Ritter's words, Artolia immediately raised her fist and was about to punch him in the stomach. However, she quickly put down her fist because she suddenly realized that violence couldn't solve this problem. Therefore, she ignored Kel and Nasha who were looking at her strangely and said this to Ritter in a serious tone.
"I want to fight with you."
Knowing that the meaning of this sentence was not as simple as it sounded, Ritter did not immediately respond. Instead, after giving the fruit vendor a gold coin and receiving the change from him, he easily picked up the linen bag with his pinky and replied,"Before you can do this easily and have a real sword hanging on your waist, no matter what you say, I will not allow you to fight with me. By the way, you must listen to me this time.”
"If I don't…"
Artolia stopped talking because Ritter had thrown the bag of oranges to Kel and picked her up with one hand.
"If you don't listen to me, you will be treated like this. Although this is very rude, as long as I can prevent you from getting hurt, I dare to do anything rude.”
After saying that, Rittery gently put down Altolia who was looking at him with a surprised look. Before she and Kel who was looking at her with the same look opened their mouths, Rittery picked up a copper coin from the other hand which was holding some silver coins and copper coins that the fruit vendor had recovered.
"You…when did you become so powerful?!”
Kel was about to say," What are you doing?" when he saw Ritter pinch the round copper coin into a semicircle with his index finger and thumb, he changed his words.
"Take a guess."
Ritter answered Kel with a smirk on his face. After throwing the copper coin to the side, he raised his hand to receive Kel's fist."I admit that I do have a smirk on my face, but you…”
"Have you been secretly training yourself with that sword? Ritey!"
"You…okay, yes, I'll vomit…Wait until I finish speaking before punching my stomach. No, I can't vomit…It's not good to say no with my mouth…I really don't vomit these days…"”
In order to prevent his stomach from getting punched again, Rittery chose to shut his mouth. He thought that whatever he said now would become the reason for Artolia to punch him in the stomach.
It was true. As soon as Ritter shut up, Artolia put down her fist and walked into the market with a parchment that said," I'm not happy, so don't mess with me."
Witnessing this scene, Ritter, who was certain that he would be unlucky tonight, was about to say something when Kel, who had pulled his hand out, punched him in the chest."Go to hell! You bastard traitor!"
"Cough cough…I was just hiding my strength! How was he a traitor! You idiot, stop right there and speak clearly! Otherwise, I won't let you off!"
Ritter was so angry that he almost choked on his own saliva. When he saw that Kel had no intention of stopping, he covered his stomach with one hand and held Nasha's hand with the other to prevent her from getting lost.
Unfortunately, Rittery regretted it not long after catching up with Artolia. However, no matter how much he regretted it, he couldn't change anything, such as his lost Kim…# Date:08 24 2019 5:46PM
