Morgan, who believed that the person who raised Ritter in the capital was the person who got everything from him, would not know that he was wrong. He would not know from Ritter who was raising him in the capital unless she, the princess who lived in the capital but did not know much about the new happenings in the capital, was willing to send someone to investigate Ritter.
After leaving the small alley and returning to the bustling market, Ritter closed his eyes and put on his cloak. He opened his eyes and looked at the people around him who would occasionally cast their gazes at Morgan."Miss…Miss, do you think it's better to show your most beautiful side to a stranger or to the person you want to show it to?”
Ritey, who was walking on Morgan's left, looked around and glanced at her white breasts in a low-cut princess dress. He shook his head and chose the latter.
Although Morgan, who was very interested in new things, looked left and right, she happened to see Ritter shake his head when he saw her white chest. Therefore, she understood why Ritter was like this. After glancing at the stall selling small accessories on the right, she changed her direction and came to the stall."I don't want him to see the most beautiful side of me, so…Woo…Stinking troublemaker, are you trying to please me?”
Morgan, who suddenly thought of this, wasn't sure if Ritter was trying to please him by saying those words. Therefore, she, who was different from ordinary noble ladies in terms of status, upbringing, and personality, bluntly asked Ritter if he was trying to please her.
Ritter didn't rush to answer Morgan's question. Instead, he bent down and picked up a pair of silver earrings that looked like water droplets from a broken wooden table covered with a dirty white cloth."If you say so, then so be it. If you say so, then so be it. If not, why would they all step on my foot in this situation or similar situations? Hiss again…Good, good, good. I'm trying to please you. You're satisfied. Oh, oh, oh…Oh, my God! What sin did I commit to deserve such treatment! Also, move your feet! Did you hear that? I made…I was wrong. I shouldn't have shouted at you, so you should quickly move your foot away. Otherwise, even if my foot bones aren't broken, my toenails will fall off!”
Ritter, who had been very unyielding at the start, had a 180-degree change in attitude after being stepped on by Morgan. Morgan let out a cold snort and let go of his foot. At the same time, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and held up his bold chest, putting on a 'I'm very angry, you unruly person, hurry up and make me happy, or I'll teach you a lesson' attitude.
Facing Morgan, Ritter helplessly sighed and looked at the peddler who had been staring at her."Hey, do you still want your eyes and goods? If you don't want it, I'll gouge your eyes out first, then take your goods and leave. Also, are there any gold earrings of this style? If you have it, wrap it up for me. I want it.”
Ritter sounded like he was joking when he said those words with a smiling tone. In fact, no one knew what he was actually talking about except for him.
But even so, Ritter still made the peddler's gaze shift from Morgan to him. This peddler was slightly plump, with a round face and small eyes, a big mouth, and small ears. He was a smart person.
"Yes, but please forgive me for being presumptuous. I don't think these small things that I sell are suitable for your young miss.”
With a smile that could squeeze a mosquito to death, the peddler told the truth. It wasn't that he didn't want to sell his goods, but that he didn't want to cause trouble. The reason was that Morgan had the most beautiful face and the best waist-length wavy golden hair that he had ever seen. She wore a white princess dress and didn't look like an ordinary noble lady. If he sold his goods to her and she didn't think it was suitable, he would definitely be in trouble.
Ritter knew what the peddler meant. He looked at Morgan and shook his head with a smile."Your eyesight is not bad, but your intelligence is a little bad. When did you hear me say that I bought earrings for her? Of course, don't misunderstand. I don't mean what you think. I just think…um…it's best if you don't wear anything!”
The first sentence was meant for the peddler, and the second sentence was meant for Morgan, who had stepped on his foot again. Rittery wasn't trying to fool her, nor was he being stingy. He was telling the truth because his aesthetic standards were greatly different from others because of Artolia.
However, Morgan thought that Ritter was just fooling him, but because his tone was too sincere, he couldn't be sure if he was right or wrong. Morgan grabbed Ritter's body, and the people around him pulled Ritter's cloak away a little and stared at his eyes for a while before letting him go.
Of course, Morgan let Ritter go because she realized that Ritter not only dared to look at her, but his blue eyes were still clear and bright.
If not for this, then this day next year would definitely be the anniversary of Ritter's death.
The peddler felt that the master and servant were very strange. After staring at the two for a while, he shrugged his shoulders and began to do what he should do. He took out the gold earring shaped like a water drop from the leather bag at his waist and wrapped it up for Ritter.
Ritter, who had seen the hawker's every move from the corner of his eyes, used one hand to tidy up his cloak that had been scattered by Morgan, and the other hand to open the bulging bag of gold coins tied to his waist."A few gold coins? Huh? Three gold coins? Are you kidding me? Two gold coins, one more copper coin, you can keep it for yourself!”
Although Ritter had never sold any accessories or bought any real gold or silver, he knew that the earrings he wanted were definitely not worth more than one gold coin, including the craftsmanship.
The peddler was about to argue with him to earn more when he realized that he wanted to leave. He immediately abandoned this idea and stopped him."I'm selling it to you. Just as you said, I'm selling this pair of earrings to you for two gold coins!”
The hawker pretended to be in pain, and Ritter rolled his eyes at him. He took out two gold coins from the bulging bag and placed them in his hand. At the same time, he picked up the pair of gold earrings that had been wrapped in small steps and stuffed them into his sleeve.
"Stop pretending. No matter how much you pretend, you can't change the value of this item. By the way, Miss, have you seen enough…Okay, since you want it, then buy it. But then again, what was this thing on it? Why did it look like a flower that had yet to bloom?”
Morgan said," I like this necklace." Ritter hesitated for a moment before agreeing to her request. At the same time, he voiced his doubts.
"This small one bought this necklace from a businessman from across the sea. According to him, this necklace was made from a brave flower that had not bloomed. As for the real name of this flower, this small one did not know. At that time, this small one thought that this necklace was very beautiful, so he bought it.”
After answering Ritter's question in a serious manner, the peddler glanced at Morgan, who was staring at the necklace, and took a deep breath."Pack it up…Uh…Okay, I'll put it on for you later…No! Why should I put a necklace on you…Fine, fine, fine. I'll put it on for you, alright? Hurry up and move your feet away!"
Ritter, who hadn't reacted at first, immediately shouted at Morgan, who had asked him to put the necklace on her. However, no matter how he shouted, he couldn't change his fate of having to do as Morgan said. The reason was that he had figured out one thing. If he didn't listen to Morgan, his feet would suffer.
"Humph! Why didn't you do this earlier? Why did you have to make me waste so much effort?”
Morgan, whose request had been satisfied, ignored Ritter, who was twitching his mouth, and picked up the silver-like necklace to admire it.
"Why do I hate you so much!”
Morgan, who had heard his complaint, glared at Ritter with a helpless expression as he looked at the peddler, who was smiling so widely that his lips were about to reach the corners of his eyes."You're smiling so happily. Do you think you're going to be rich? Let me tell you, you're dreaming! If the price of this necklace exceeds my bottom line, I…”
"Let me tell you, this necklace is mine!”
"Take him away without giving you a single gold coin! It's useless even if you call the soldiers over!"
Morgan had wanted to say 'I don't want it', but Rittery had a helpless expression on his face. However, he had a serious expression as he made a declaration that was no different from a robbery declaration.
Although the peddler couldn't see Ritter's face and eyes, and didn't know why he covered his face and eyes with a cloak, the peddler could tell from Ritter's unquestionable tone that he was serious. Therefore, the peddler who wanted to extort Ritter thought for a while and looked at the bulging bag of gold coins hanging on Ritter's waist."Seventeen gold coins, not a single gold coin less! If you think it's expensive and want to snatch it, then kill me. Otherwise, I will definitely not let you snatch it!”
The peddler knew very well that Rite was playing with him, so he decided to play with Rite. He believed that Rite wouldn't kill more people in this crowded market…
