Weekly Chapter (2/6)

He threw the liquid in the cup outside the balcony, where no one was around.

In his mind he had created countless excuses.

For example, that he liked to be alone.

He walked away from the ladies with the lie that the alcohol caused him stomach pain.

He had to admit that he had escaped.

He looked down at the tailcoat that covered his body. It was made to fit him, but it didnt seem to fit him, he just felt suffocated.

These people had lived in a different environment to him.

He ate the oats fed to the cattle while they ate mutton.

He was curious about whether they had anything in common, or if they saw things the same way as he did.

Why are you here? This is a special occasion.

Sylverine walked toward the balcony where he stood.

Teacher.

Apparently, you wont be humiliated for not finding a dance partner.

She wryly spoke.

Are you saying this because Im alone?

No, I saw the girls faces. They looked like youd stuck them with a dagger.

Sylverine seemed in a good mood, though he didnt know why.

You dont like them because youre too picky? Or is it that you like another woman?

His expectations rose when he started living with Sylverine, but that was not the cause of trouble. Posted only on

Those women think Im a prince.

So whats the price?

He wants you to attend this gathering every year.

The compensation seemed quite generous in comparison to his effort.

How about it?

Accept if youre sure you can keep your word. It wont be too difficult, you can come on your vacation. And you can establish connections with nobles

He had nothing to lose.

If Sylverine agreed, he had no reason to refuse.

Sylverine, who was fed up with the crowd, entered the exclusive room.

No one could reproach her.

But he was in a position where he had to relate to the nobility.

He returned alone to the banquet.

Nancy and Bologna were pleased when he returned.

He decided to follow Sylverines advice.

They did not force him to dance because they realized he did not like it.

They walked slowly across the training camp lawn.

How did you meet Sylverine?

Tell me a story about how you killed a ghoul.

He mixed a few lies into his answers.

They listened to his stories attentively.

The conversation turned more and more toward swordsmanship, so he broke out in a cold sweat. He didnt know much about it.
