Of course, it was normal for Morgan to not understand why she was angry. She didn't know if she was angry because she wanted him to become her Ritter and draw a clear line between them, or if he had done something that only she could do, or something else.
Ritter knew that Morgan's tone was filled with cold killing intent, and the smile on his face was a little distorted. He helplessly shook his head and looked at the wrinkled white-haired old woman selling honey, who had been frightened by Morgan."Please give me two sticks of honey. In addition, I apologize to you for my young miss's behavior. I hope you can forgive me.”
As he spoke, Ritter placed his right hand in front of his chest and bowed to the old woman whose hands and feet were trembling in fear.
The old woman immediately stood up and raised her hands to pull him up."You're too polite, sir. I…I…You can take as much of my honey as you want. I'll give it to you for free.”
Although Ritter was not a noble, the old woman still addressed him respectfully. Because the young lady wearing a white low-cut princess dress beside him was a noble, as a commoner, she had to address him respectfully. This was polite, and she did not want something bad to happen to her.
However, because of how polite Ritter was, the old woman who had never been treated like this by someone of similar status to Ritter was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
Morgan, who had thought that Ritter would ignore the old woman's frightened state, did not expect him to do so. He also could not understand why he did so. The reason was that Morgan believed that Ritter should hate the Celts who had killed so many of his own kind.
Just as Morgan was about to ask him why, Ritter, who had been lifted up by the old woman, opened the bag of gold coins on his waist and took out five gold coins. He then picked up the smooth brown jar that was about a foot tall and half a foot in diameter."Please do not decline. You deserve this, and I deserve this.”
Ritter quickly bent down and took out two half-foot-long branches from the small wooden barrel on the ground. Before the old woman could say anything, he grabbed the two branches and dragged Morgan away, leaving the confused and happy old woman behind.
"Unruly person, shouldn't you hate…?”
Morgan was pulled by Ritey to a distance of ten meters away from the old woman. He kept asking Ritey, but before he could ask, his mouth was covered by a mouthful of honey.
Looking at Morgan's angry and enjoying expression after he stuffed honey into his mouth, Ritter stuffed the two peeled branches into the jar that was filled with honey and said in a low voice,"" I do hate Celts, but I don't hate all Celts. For example, in the early autumn three years ago, when the Celts executed my people one after another, the old woman who gave my people water and honey to eat and the other old people who gave my people food to eat. However, I couldn't do anything for them on the surface. In fact, to avoid suspicion, I couldn't even buy honey from her when I was alone. This was because there were many people in the capital who were staring at these old people who were friendly to the Outsiders, and I was like this. Therefore, before today, I had always let…mm…some idiot buy honey for the same amount of gold coins as before. Although it was inappropriate to express my gratitude to her in this way, there was no other way. This was the only thing I could do now. By the way, I had secretly provided some help to old people like her, like when she woke up and found a dozen gold coins beside her pillow.”
After explaining to Morgan in detail why he did that, Ritter dug out some honey from the jar that was half filled with honey in his left hand. Then, under Morgan's gaze, he used the hand that was holding the two branches with honey to open the cloak and put the two branches into his mouth.
"Then why didn't you... you unruly person! You're really too rude! I hate you so much! However, seeing that the honey is very delicious, I won't hold it against you!”
Morgan's mouth was once again covered with honey, and the amount of honey was twice as much as before. After saying this, he raised his pink fist and knocked on his shoulder to vent his dissatisfaction.
Rittery accepted this with a smile, knowing that his behavior was rude and what she wanted to ask. He looked at the passersby pointing at him and Morgan and shook his head."At that time, it wasn't that I didn't want to save them, nor was it that I didn't dare to. It was that I couldn't, because everything that belonged to me wasn't mine. It belonged to my lord, so I didn't want my lord to be involved in such a bloody mess.”
Ritter answered Morgan's unfinished question truthfully because the Empire had not massacred the Germanic people living in the Empire ever since Morgan became the Regent. At least on the surface, that was the case.
Morgan instantly narrowed his emerald eyes, which were filled with killing intent. But just as Ritter tilted his head and looked at him, Morgan changed his gaze and smiled."It seems that ignoring the objections of those old fellows and ordering them to stop that stupid behavior was the right thing to do. Otherwise, the noble lady would have died in that dirty alley today. Also, I'm liking you more and more, unruly man.”
Morgan, who had a thought-provoking smile on his face, believed what Ritter said. It wasn't that he didn't want to or didn't dare to, but that he didn't save his own kind for his master. That was why she said something that surprised and puzzled Ritter.
However, Rittery soon stopped being like this. The reason was that Rittery understood from Morgan's gaze that she liked his name, which was his 'loyalty'.
Feeling gratified and proud, Ritter dug out some honey from the jar in his left hand and brought it to her pink lips. After watching her open her pink lips and suck the honey into her mouth, he retracted his hand and looked at the blue sky with a few white clouds floating in the air."It's my honor,'My Miss'.”
Rittery, who had sincerely addressed Morgan as such, liked to be admired because of his 'loyalty', but he would never give his loyalty to anyone other than Altoria, unless Altoria didn't want him anymore.
Although Ritter had also called him that, his tone was different from this time. Morgan swallowed the honey in his mouth and looked at him happily."You know what? Lie Te Yi, I really want to snatch you from your master's hands. But for your sake, I won't do such a tasteless thing. But remember, if your lord is blind and doesn't want you anymore, don't forget to come to me, who is always open for you.”
Although Morgan said that, he was thinking about how to snatch Ritter from his master. She wanted a young and powerful person like Ritter who would abandon righteousness for loyalty and was indifferent to her beauty.
Ritter tilted his head and looked at Morgan, who had made such a declaration. He then used the same method as before to put some honey into his mouth."…If what you said really happened, I will…Alright, I will go find you, so quickly move your little foot away from my foot!”
Rittery swallowed the honey in his mouth and opened his mouth to say," I'll think about it," but Morgan, who knew what he was going to say after the test, stepped on his foot. He had no choice but to change his words and use a crazy tone to ask her to move her foot away.
"You damn unfilial citizen, you don't know what's good for you…”
"It's not that I don't know what's good for me, but I'm guilty…um…you know, so the thing you said really happened. I need to consider whether I should return…um…to my side and die to atone for my sins, because I can't be sure if my parents are among those who died.”
Ritter interrupted Morgan, who was in a fluster and refused to take back his foot. Not only did his words make her instantly calm down, but he also made her let go of her foot, even though she stomped her foot hard before letting go.
Rittery felt that if he really ran to her place after she abandoned him, she would definitely do something worse than what she did to him.
But even so, Ritter couldn't say this because he was sure that if he did, Morgan would definitely treat his other foot in the same or even more ruthless way.
Morgan, who didn't know what Ritter was thinking, looked at his position and pulled Ritter towards a street with fewer people than the market exit."Are you stupid? You've untied the knot in your heart by apologizing with your death, but how can the knot in the hearts of those who are still alive be untied? Am I? Stop dreaming. I won't do such a thankless thing! However, if you become my possession after that or now, I'm willing to do so.”
Morgan, who had thrown out this bait for Ritter to eat, believed that even if Ritter didn't come to eat it now, he would come to eat it in the future. As long as he continued to increase the price…
