13.
This little bastard
Of course, even if I had an accident, I would not have a child like that, say to me, but there was nothing these people could not say.
Feeling my blood pressure rising just a little bit, I let out a small sigh and drank the matt placed in front of me.
Be patient. Opponents are a bit bigger than Archie.
My blood pressure dropped quickly as cold carbonic acid splashed down my throat.
‘Anyway, this seems to have prevented me from leaving the West.’
This seemed to be why the Erikana vassals stopped traveling outside the western part of Hansako. No wonder they kept me stuck in Lord’s Castle when I left the West a little.
‘This is nothing compared to the bizarre humiliation I’ve experienced in my life.’
Of course, in the case of the traitors, it is still like a rumor, but it will not be enough for the word to enter the ears of the Lord.
The West, where Mcfoy’s influence is strong and prosperous thanks to Mcfoy, considers ‘Aisa McFoy’ as the heroine who revived the West. The patriarch of Mcfoy, who dominated the west in the vast empire, was like the king of the west.
However, Asia Mcfoy was regarded by many other people in the empire as a witch who became the head of the household by cursing her or a courtesan who sold her body to rebuild her family. Like the queen of a famous country next door, swearing at an existence they had only heard of through rumors was simply entertainment for them.
I admit to a certain extent that it was a disgrace to the nobility because the great nobility was doing business with their name, and their main product was alcohol. The law did not prohibit it, but the rules within the aristocracy did. It was such an obvious truth that it was not written in the law.
In the end, it was my choice to become infamous in the Empire. But in the end, notoriety was also fame. No one can easily touch the notorious family owner McFoy.
I’ve grown so strong. My power is like that.
McFoy has gone through too much to be hurt by the reputation at the bottom of the twinning of such a joke.
“…”
But I guess it wasn’t Norma.
What’s wrong with him?
When the boy called me a ‘whore’ in front of my face as if possessed, Norma’s mouth, which had always been on the rise, stiffened horribly.
No, it was before that. Seeing the person spraying flowers with a straight face, I unknowingly flinched and paid attention to the change.
‘These must have been too promiscuous words for a well-bred Paladin!’
Whether that or not, the stupid drunkards called out the nicknames of the Mcfoys one by one, like a puzzle, and then started talking loudly about the demeanor. The contents were dirty, befitting the level of a rural bully.
When the side dishes for today were decided, the gnomes began to speak excitedly about the ‘girl’ who was the head of the family of Mcfoy.
Even if it’s uncomfortable, he’ll be wearing a hoodie. It’s too late to regret.
As a rule, rumors tend to spread more irritably the more they pass through each person, so the words that came out of their mouths were variations of the stories I was familiar with. There, the violence and level went up to the limit.
Some of them were mixed with descriptions that had never been seen before. It was confirmed that the eyewitness story was a lie from the part of ‘Magfoy’s taller than a man.’
My height was a little, a little, shorter than the average imperial woman. “A little short” was my little complex.
In any case, it seemed clear that obscenities coming out of the mouths of bullies couldn’t come up in Norma’s dictionary. Norma opened and closed her lips in a panic several times amidst the bombardment of indiscriminate obscenity.
“Is that what they’re saying about you?”
Finally, Norma asked. His voice was very calm, but it was easy to sense that it was slightly different in texture than usual.
I couldn’t take my eyes off Norma’s stiff mouth, as the calm voice sounded somehow angry. The cold back of my head gave me an uneasy feeling.
Well, witch and whore… They all, indeed mean me. My reputation is terrible. They don’t think I’m who I am.”
I said it insignificantly, but Norma made no reply, like a man at a loss for words. There was something about it that made people a little uneasy.
“… You’re not going to fall for such a provocation, are you? I told you to cut the chivalry. This is not the ballroom of the imperial mansion but just a bar in the back. Of course, it is natural to swear at the aristocracy.”
“It’s too much.”
“Don’t mind them. Don’t take away their fun and pretend you didn’t hear them.”
“…”
Norma, who had been through two days, did not lie, but when he was at a disadvantage, he spared his words or replaced them with silence. He seemed to have chosen silence this time.
What are you doing? I raised my eyebrows and watched him.
Norma was Diazi, who lived on honor, reputation, and pride. At first, he seemed dizzy at the fact that his fellow noble, the lady he was protecting, was the target of such abuse and ridicule.
‘But what? What to do if you are offended? Should you even challenge them to a duel? Anyone who sees it will think it’s an insult to you.’
Just in time, the cheeky boy from earlier brought the food. The duck leg dish smelled quite delicious.
“Don’t you know this is the only inn? I want to sleep in bed today. It’s embarrassing to go over such a ridiculous provocation. So let’s just eat and go up quietly and rest.”
After the boy walked away, I quickly spat out the words I wanted to say.
“What are nobles doing? To think such a seductress is noble and leads a family, huh? Even if I did it, I’d be more elegant and cultured than a little girl. Oh, —that’s it!”
“A young girl who only knows how to fawn over pirates, the head of a family! Even Mcfoy would be embarrassed!”
But my secret powers mainly were mostly buried in the drunkenness of the gangsters.
Even so, Norma would have heard it all. That person is a paladin who handles holy power and ‘sword skill’ simultaneously. His bodily functions were different from those of ordinary people.
“…”
“…”
Don’t you answer?
I felt dizzy as if I was facing Archie, on the verge of exploding. We decided to call it Archie for a while, but why does it seem to overlap with our stubborn Archie?
… Why? It’s because Norma is a stubborn shit who doesn’t listen to her.
Cannot help it. It was a retreat, after all. At least, it would help if you slept comfortably. More than anything else, I felt like if I ate here, Norma would get sick, not me.
“If It’s cumbersome, just go up to your room and eat…”
“That’s an aristocrat! His Majesty, what is he doing? What is the god of Mehera doing!”
“That bitch, I hope she dies!”
In an instant, I forgot what I was saying.
Die, die Supportive voices and giggles followed. There was an illusion that her eyes went black in an instant. So I didn’t see Norma’s reaction.
McFoy’s family home is the center of gossip about Imperial celebrities. All kinds of absurd and bizarre rumors, ridicule, and swear words followed me. So die or die is nothing.
I’ve survived with a lot of blood on my hands. I’ve heard words like “die in the face” or “die in the face” so many times that scabs sit in my ears. Even at this moment, there may be a lot of people who have a grudge against me.
But this time, the timing was terrible.
I felt very dog-like when they said to die in the face of someone already suffering from death. Her face contorted uncontrollably.
“So, is that lady pretending to be arrogant, a whore following the man who is covering his face! Ha ha ha!”
“Don’t make fun of her! If she cries, will you take responsibility? Hahaha!”
Just in time, the topic changed to me right before them.
“Miss! Please look around here so we can look at that beautiful white face! Yes?”
Claps and whistles erupted, even if it was only a funny joke and joke. I was unlucky that my appetite plummeted.
“Let’s just go up.”
I’m not afraid, and I’m avoiding it. I swear I’m avoiding it because it’s dirty. The word die was a bit of a fatal hit, but it was better to ignore it.
“You’re lucky you’re traveling with a beautiful young woman! Take off your hood. You’re in good shape.”
The moment she was about to get up, it was Norma this time.
The condition of the drunkards was more severe than I thought. It is indistinguishable. Just looking at it, it was astounding to see how ambitious it was to touch Norma, who was unmanned in size. Unfortunately, it’s not worth it because it’s drunk.
Only then did I see Norma again. It was to urge him to get up.
“…”
However, Norma’s condition was strange. He had been stubbornly silent the whole time, and finally, with his head slightly lowered, he covered his mouth with one hand.
Why? Were these words so disgusting? But rather than being offended by that appearance…
‘Oh, My God.’
The goosebumps you would feel when facing a top predator ran through your entire body for a moment.
‘You’re really out of your mind, you.’
Bloody sword energy began to emanate from Norma. The problem is that Norma himself doesn’t seem to be in control of it.
At the same time, in my side vision, I saw a fat man staggering towards me. It was fantastic timing. The man lifted his heavy-looking leg and managed to take a step.
“Oh! You keep ignoring us now! Huh? I was kind enough to talk to you!”
One more step, splashing saliva while pointing a finger.
‘Don’t come, you piglet. Read the air.’
But one more step.
‘A guy who wouldn’t even know if he fell into a bucket.’
People become brave when they are drunk. It’s because all the senses are blunted. And courage was less necessary in everyday life than I thought. If you are a human being, you should know your subject.
Especially in a class society where the difference in physical ability is very different, you need to know your subject all the more.
You will have nothing to say even if you die right away because you are approaching me without noticing who I am with.
“… Archie, put it in.”
I said calmly. Of course, I did not take the side of those drunkards. It’s just that I don’t want to make a fuss at this inn and get kicked out. I just want a bed tonight.
The time given to me is at least 15 days and at most months. There was no time wasted being chased or captured by the town security knights.
“Archie.”
At first glance, the pupils of the gray eyes were all dead.
Norma can’t see me right now. I swallowed my saliva, and I didn’t even care. I don’t know what it was, but it was clear that something had touched Norma.
Norma’s presence was unstable. It was hideous.
‘Why did the situation suddenly become like that?’
But it wasn’t the time to ask why. It would be difficult for a swordsman to turn his eyes away like that.
