The moment Ritter finished his sentence, 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 his hand into Nasha's brown, waist-length curly hair and pulled out a gold coin.
Seeing this, Nasha was stunned for a moment. Then, under Ritter's gaze, she shook her hair hard, but nothing came out. She looked at Ritter with a puzzled expression."Where did you get this gold coin?”
"Secret!"
"Speak…"
Clack!
"Do you want to add more dishes? My lord."
Artolia knocked on the empty plate with a silver spoon. Nasha, who was about to act coquettishly to Ritter, gave up the idea without hesitation. She asked Artolia in a humble tone, then stood up and left Ritter when Artolia nodded.
"You're bullying me."
When Nasha left her side and came to take the empty plate from Altoria, the smile on her face turned into dissatisfaction as she complained to Altoria in a voice that only she and herself could hear.
"I didn't bully anyone. As a knight, I would never bully anyone.”
Artolia was lying after she responded to Ritter calmly. Ritter knew it very well. However, he couldn't expose her lie, because if he did, she would go even further.
After hearing what Altoria said, Ritter cursed Nasha and himself in his heart. She was always bullying him and Nasha. After a while, Ritter turned around and looked at Nasha, who was using the big iron spoon that could be used as a hammer to fill the plate that Altoria had eaten."My lord, you and I both know very well whether or not you have bullied anyone, so I won't say much. However…there is one more thing that I must say, and that is…”
Ritter stopped talking and only said that because one of the three maids came to Nasha's side when he said 'but'. He knew why the maid came to Nasha's side at this time. He raised his arm and threw the gold coin in his hand at lightning speed.
Before the whooshing sound caused by the rapid friction between the object and the air could be heard, a strange clanging sound could be heard. Ritter pointed at the gold coin embedded in the wall with a terrifying smile on his face. He looked at the stunned maid who was so frightened that she even forgot to put down her clenched fist and continued,"If you don't want to end up like that pitiful and hateful cockroach, don't challenge my bottom line, do you understand? Beautiful lady."
"I…I…I understand."
"Very good, but it would be better if you could stay away from Nasha.”
After saying that, Rittery changed his smile and eyes to look harmless again. If he didn't want to show his ugly side to Altoria, he would have hit her in the same way as the maid who was about to cry from fear.
Of course, regardless of the reason why a man beat a woman, the result would be that the man would be spurned, cursed, and despised. Ritter knew this, but the problem was that even though he knew, Ritter did not care about it at all. To him, whether it was a man or a woman, they were all human beings in the end. A human being had to pay a painful price for the mistakes they had made.
She tilted her head and glanced at Rittery, who had left Nasha's side and returned to her original position after hearing his words. Rittery still didn't turn around, but her mouth was open as if she had something to say. Altolia cleared her throat and said,""There must be a limit to everything. You said it yourself, Ritter.”
"As you wish, my lord."
Rittery understood what Artolia meant. When he was about to turn around, he smiled and waved at Nasha, who had just filled up the plate that Artolia had just finished.
Seeing this, Nasha, who was scared by the maid and had her eyes turning red, pretended to glare at her, then ran to Altoria with a happy smile on her face while carrying a plate of potatoes, meat, and carrots.""Please enjoy, my lord."
Nasha left her polite words and ran back to Ritter at a faster speed than before. While Altolia was eating, Nasha ignored Kel, who was wiping his mouth with a white napkin and looking at her, and gave Ritter a kiss.
Facing Nasha, who was very brave in this matter but very timid in other matters, Litte looked at Kel, who was staring at him with wide eyes after seeing Nasha give him a kiss. He raised his hand and pinched Nasha's cheek."Next time, you are not allowed to do such a thing again. Otherwise…I will be in trouble, regardless of whether there is anyone around.”
"Why?"
"Because Teacher Merlin once warned me that if I dared to do anything indecent with a woman, including kissing, he would personally tie me to the cross and burn me to death.”
Ritter could have said those words in a voice that only the two of them could hear, but he only spoke in a normal volume to make Kel shut up and let Altoria, who seemed to be focused on the food but was actually focused on him, let him go.
"Can't you marry that woman?”
"No, the reason is very simple. My…teacher forbids me from getting married, even though he didn't 'directly' tell me.”
Rittery, who had wanted to say " my lord ", quickly changed the word " lord " to " teacher " when he recalled what Altolia had said to him just now, so as to avoid a debate that would end badly no matter who won.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Ritter replacing the word " master " with " teacher " because his teacher, Merlin, had once told him at his home that everything he had belonged to his master, Altoria.
After hearing Ritter's words, Artolia gave up on stomping on his feet to vent her negative emotions. Instead, she remained silent and watched him and Nasha while eating.
However, while Altolia could maintain this state, Kel couldn't. He put down his napkin and looked at Ritter, who was reaching into Nasha's long brown hair again, as if he wanted to pull out another gold coin to tease her."Sir Merlin wouldn't want you to be a bachelor for the rest of your life, right?”
"I don't know if Teacher Merlin thinks this way. I only know that I definitely won't be a bachelor for the rest of my life.”
After saying that, Rittery took a look at Artolia. When Kel, whose mind was filled with mush, looked at her in that way, he also looked at Nasha. Kel, who thought that she was a man and woman who looked at Artolia first and then at Nasha, quickly raised her hands and hugged her body like a young girl who didn't want to be defiled.
"You…Phew…Don't worry, Kel. Even if I like men, I won't like an idiot like you whose brain is filled with paste.”
Ritter, who was almost angered to the point of swearing by Kel's posture, calmed himself down by taking a deep breath. Then, he said something that moved the six people in the small restaurant except him.
Fortunately, the number of people quickly increased from six to five because of the two people's question and answer.
"Then what kind of man do you like?”
"I…Wait, isn't this question a little strange? Kai."
"How is it strange?"
"I like men…"
"Don't mind such a small matter. Hurry up and tell me what kind of man you like. Was it a man like Toria who thought she was a woman, or was it muscles…”
"Is there a need to ask? Of course, it was someone like Daren! By the way, let me say this seriously, I don't like men! "So, Kel, and everyone else here except my lord and Nasha, listen up. If you dare to spread any rumors, I'll use such a huge leech to suck your blood dry!”
As he spoke, he gestured at how big the leech was. Ritter was serious, but both Kel and the three maids thought he was just scaring them. The reason was that they didn't believe that there was a leech as big as Ritter's.
However, not long after, Kel and the three maids didn't think so. This was because Altoria, who was widely acknowledged as the most trustworthy of the three, said this.
"Ritter, you can't use that leech to scare people.”
Altoria had once entered the forest with Li Te, which was full of all kinds of strange creatures raised by Merlin. They could not enter the forest from the outside, and they could only see the city wall. The reason why she said that was because she had seen the leech before.
After hearing Altolia's words, Ritter ignored the three maids behind him and looked at Kel, who was horrified.""I know, but I didn't say that I wanted to use that leech to scare people, so don't worry…”
"You can't be at ease, Toria! This bastard wants to kill me with that leech! Also, where did you get such a huge leech from?”
Kel, who had interrupted Ritter and said all of this in one breath, was scared out of his wits. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been panting heavily with a flushed face after saying all this…
