Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 189
I thought about it briefly, but I had to decide what I had to do.
“Wait a minute. I’ll check and come back.”
“Are you sure?”
“Aristocrats or not. Shouldn’t we find out first?”
“It is, but… how…?”
They thought they were aristocrats too, so they could have come this far without hesitation. Sen tilted his head, but there was no reason to explain what he would soon find out anyway. I just flicked my finger to follow him and walked towards the carriage.
Then, I don’t know if it’s because the guy who told me to bring him when I gave the signal walked on his own, but the expression of the armor changed strangely, but I decided to focus on the kids for now.
Isn’t the position of exclusive butler of the Ogatorv family Sogaju not a position secured by parachute mobilizing personal connections? It was obtained by mobilizing the great sales spirit and workmanship of the cogs of society living in modern times, and even after that, through the butler’s steady education, I learned how to distinguish luxury goods that I did not know well in my previous life. say no.
As the distance got closer, the condition of the clothes the children were wearing became more evident. Along with being extremely anxious. Still, looking at their faces, they seemed to be in good health, as if they were children who had been eating well.
The boy, who looked much younger than the girl, was wearing simple clothes, but the style was appropriate for nobles to wear when attending banquets. However, the clothes themselves were slightly worn, except for the messy or torn ones. If you were a noble, you wouldn’t buy and wear second-hand clothes for your children, so unless that guy hasn’t grown up for several years, it’s highly likely that he inherited clothes from his brothers or others.
On the other hand, the dress worn by the girl is a formal dress with a design that is popular even in the capital city. The fur coat he was wearing was crude, but the shawl he wore around his neck was even made of silk. Judging from the fact that he was wearing such a thing, it seems that the saying that he was rescued right away was not a lie.
However, the dress that has to go well with that shawl is only in fashion, and the fabric itself is very ordinary. It is likely that he is an aristocrat, but not very wealthy.
“Not only was the greeting delayed due to lack of circumstance, but also the rudeness caused by various misunderstandings. And I apologize for not even setting proper etiquette. My name is Eldmia Ega.”
As she greeted her naturally and according to the etiquette as if water were flowing, the girl’s eyes began to fill with wonder. But that’s for a while. The girl in my arms hugged the boy’s shoulders and moved aside for a while, and the girl accepted my greeting with a calm attitude.
“Dog, you don’t have to worry, Sir Ega. It’s fortunate that the misunderstandings about each other have disappeared, albeit belatedly.”
It is surprisingly common for nobles to find it difficult to even take care of a child and decorate it. Even now, since we are obviously at war, the nobles who are entangled in it can do so. And usually, the more aristocratic, the stricter the law on honor and etiquette. Even though he was so nervous, his manners of sticking out and sticking out seemed to prove it.
I don’t know what the purpose was, but it was certain that he was a noble. I don’t know why he lied about being an Ogwen noble. I politely continued with a smile like a knight in a fairy tale that was polished in the empire.
“I heard that the lady is on her way to Ogwen. I am also on my way to Ogwen, so I want to accompany her to my destination
.”
Anxiety once again dwells in the girl’s eyes. Even I would be concerned if a person who had been threatening to kill all the menacing people who had just been chasing him and would kill those who had saved him would suddenly change and accompany them. It wasn’t like they didn’t have a choice anyway, but for now, they pretended to be understanding, pretended to be respectful, and gained a little bit of trust.
“I don’t know if the gods have arranged it, but I’ve been living in Ogwen since I was a child, and I’ve been protected by the lord, Baron Benect. He’s the only noble in Ogwen, so the young lady must be part of Baron Benect’s family. A lady like that Now that I know that my life is threatened, I would like to help with all my heart in order to repay the favor to the baron.”
Of course it’s gurada. My childhood was thoroughly under Asilie’s protection.
On the contrary, I was blinded by worries about my children and was indifferent to the fact that vigilantes were often taking back money and committing corruption, so I suffered only because of it. Well, it’s not that I don’t understand why my only child voluntarily went to a dangerous battlefield.
Thanks to the lip service that had nothing to do with that fact, the girl who hadn’t even revealed who she was yet seemed greatly relieved. This was a bit surprising. He doesn’t seem particularly good at acting, but even though he mentioned the baron directly, he didn’t even show any signs of fear of being lied to.
“You’re a very honorable person. We should give thanks and compensation for saving us despite the sudden meeting, but it’s just embarrassing that we can’t give you a proper recompense due to the current situation.”
I don’t know if she really has a connection with the baron, but she was a very conceptual girl, amidst many people who were just mindless trying to win the honor of saving a nobleman.
“Never mind. As one who wants to become a knight, I was taught that I should strive for honor and justice rather than riches.”
“Well, that’s a really good teaching. If you don’t mind, may I know from which family you were taught?”
I didn’t miss the color of the girl’s voice, which was sinking with a little anxiety. Yeah, like a kid who wasn’t even 12 years old yet, I thought he’d fantasize about something like a knight.
“I was briefly taught by the Ogatorf family. I have no qualifications to discuss chivalry carelessly as I will receive the honor of a wandering knight early next year, but I am trying my best not to be ashamed of my attitude.”
“Oh, Ogatorp!”
It’s not really a sphere with a soul… Because everything from one to ten is true. It’s true that I’m not even qualified to discuss chivalry, and apart from that, it’s also true that I’m trying to act consistently so that I’m not ashamed of my attitude in the eyes of others.
I didn’t lie!
Unlike the armor that managed to hide the bizarrely twisted expression, the kids completely forgot the uncomfortable atmosphere at the beginning and treated me with a look of surprise and longing.
“First of all, I think we’ll have to move on the horses the cultists rode instead. It’s going to be an arduous journey, but are you familiar with horseback riding?”
“Yes, yes. Horseback riding is a lady’s skill.”
“That’s a really good attitude. The result of not neglecting your usual learning shines in a crisis like this. Then, adventurer? Two other people will be bringing their horses soon, so please get ready to leave.”
“…all right.”
When I finished greeting the children politely, tearing my eyes away from the armor that answered with an expression that I had seen something I couldn’t see, I turned around to face Asilie, who was keeping a distance and making a strange expression, and Sen, who was astonished.
“Crazy fucking god. Do you have a double personality?”
“It’s the art of living. The art of living. What is dual personality?”
If it were the other guys, I would have hit him in the back of the head, but I keep thinking about Shadow’s feet, so I can’t hit him. Still, Sen, who came to his senses after seeing my expression, glanced behind me and quickly returned to the main topic.
“How are you? Are you a nobleman? You’re a nobleman, right?”
“Nobles are right.”
Get out of the ground. Sen breathed a sigh of relief, but I don’t know if they’ll be able to pay the compensation, including the cost of the wagon and horse.
“Wait. Aristocrat’ is ‘?”
Sure enough, it was Sen who keenly caught reactions that could easily be overlooked and passed over.
“A wealthy person can be aristocrats, but not all nobles can be wealthy. If you look at their clothes now, they won’t have much money. I’m not even sure.”
“Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
the road to Ogwen can get dirty anyway, it’s possible that he was wearing old clothes for the trip, but it has nothing to do with me anyway, so I won’t bother telling you that.” I watched Sen desperately in despair.
Asilie, who had quietly approached me, suddenly clung to me with her arms crossed.
“Huh? Why sister?”
“…Eldi is prohibited from pretending to be a knight.”
“Eh? Why?”
“I can’t be anxious. That’s forbidden.”
It was really cute to see her puffing out her cheeks with pouting, but if this trump card was blocked, I couldn’t help but be very embarrassed because I had a lot of difficulties when dealing with nobles. But for some reason, Asilier’s determination was extremely strong, and I tried to gain her trust by referring to proven cases.
“No, older sister? This is a perfect acting that has been proven even in Empire? At the academy there, not just one or two kids who were obsessed with my acting…” “I should listen to
that story closely?”
“…uh?”
I realized it belatedly.
That cute reaction is jealousy. And that it’s never as light as it seems.
In the end, I was able to stop Asilie’s complaints only after I made a vague oath that I would imitate a knight, but only in a way that would not arouse women’s feelings.
It remained a big problem that I didn’t know what form it was, but I decided to think about it later because it seemed that the crisis was averted.
