As Wokan had suspected, the girls, who had eaten almost a day's snacks, couldn't eat much at the main meal. Although Wokan and Leti were fed intermittently, this little food was nothing as people who practiced martial arts all year round. So the girls just tasted a little bit of each food, and the rest was left to the young masters to deal with.
Watching Lanoda and Rosette talk unscrupulously at the table, occasionally even influencing their overseers to take food, Kirde quietly disagreed with the two friends' disapproving and conniving attitudes.
Wokan is notoriously debauched, but because he has never acted in a way that really affects the family itself, the Taps turn a blind eye to him. But since he brought Lanoda home last year, Wokan has restrained himself a lot, focusing most of his energy on Lanoda.
Ranohda's father was a mentor among the aristocracy, and once they had children, they would ask him to teach them. When Ranorda was 6 years old, she didn't know what kind of accident happened to let others see the black wings that appeared on her back - the pattern did not just appear on the skin like a tattoo when it appeared, it also emitted a black glow that was so obvious that no one else could ignore it. Thus, when Ranorda was 6 years old, she was arrested and imprisoned, and her father was influenced to stop serving as a mentor among the nobility.
Even so, Ranohda's father was still respected, and he never complained about his daughter because of this involvement, but always tried to seek her forgiveness.
It is said that Lanorda was not well received by the Tap family when she first entered the Tap family, but it didn't take long for her status to skyrocket, whether she volunteered or not, because she was able to keep Wokan at home honestly.
If you let Kryd evaluate, Wokan is just making a mistake. It's not that Wokan hasn't seen a woman who wants to be captured, but he didn't expect that this time he didn't want to capture and indulge, but really looked down on him, so he got into trouble with the other party.
However, to the surprise of the Tap's family, when Ranoda was willing to treat Wokan as a friend, Wokan did not lose interest, but stalked her even more. The Tap family seems to have had a private conversation with Ranoda's father, and it is unclear to what extent an agreement was reached, but Ranorda's father allowed Ranoda to continue living in the Tap family.
As for Rosette, she used to be the eldest lady of a small aristocratic family, but at the age of 12, her black wings were discovered by a sinister kin, and when Rosette was captured and imprisoned, her family was also destroyed and swallowed up by that kin. Letty had always been a man of self-purity and cherishing his reputation, but he uncharacteristically took Rosette with him wherever he went, and behaved intimately.
The people of the Kettar family didn't care too much about whether Letty should marry a famous lady, Letty was the second son in the family, and the Kettar family didn't pay much attention to this - the Ketta, Tap, and Nobil families were nobles who had been with the Demon King for thousands of years, and they didn't need to marry other families to ensure their status and power. According to Letty, in the eyes of the people of the Keta family, Rosette has a certain knowledge of etiquette and is also elegant and knowledgeable, and this is enough.
β¦β¦ Kylde felt awkward about how he sounded this, as if Leti and Rosette were already engaged - but this was impossible, even if they didn't need to marry, as nobles, if they wanted to have a marriage contract, they had to have a grand ceremony.
Every time Kilde sees the tacit understanding between Letty and Rosette, who are almost close to being married for many years, and the pattern of Wokan and Lanorda's love, he wonders whether the two friends are too shocking or he himself is so immersed in the past that he misses something crucial.
"Isn't it delicious?"
A girl's voice sounded with a little strange emphasis in it, which strangely freed Kyild from the previous entanglement. He just glanced at Bianco, and continued the eating action that he had inexplicably stopped before.
It was probably because Letty was brought by Wokan that became unreliable. Kyild finally agreed. Regardless, he didn't notice a tendency to cross the line between him and Biankop, which was enough to prove that it was his two best friends who were special, not his problem.
"Long waiting!" A vigorous female voice rang out, "I'm sorry, please let me go, I'm going to put this plate down!" β
The waitress who looked like a normal human came over with a surprisingly large plate, and Kyald and Wokan tilted to the sides to make room for her to walk around.
"Huh?" Lanorda asked, a little confused, "Didn't we order the same thing?" β
Her question drew the attention of the others to the table, and only Biancole stared intently at the waiter.
"It's a gift from the owner." The waiter showed a cute smile, "It's not on the menu, it's free!" β
Kyild's eyes narrowed, he always felt that something was not quite right about this waiter, but for a moment he couldn't tell.
"Your heart is beating so fast."
Bianko's voice rang out abruptly, and the scene fell silent for a moment, but the change didn't startle Bianko, she was still staring at the waiter, her chest, to be precise.
"What is this young lady talking about?" The waiter just paused, and immediately responded with a smile, "Is my heart beating fast, others can't hear it?" β
"But I can hear it." Biancole said seriously, "Quickly, very heavy." Rossey taught me that in the body, the heart that beats in the chest is the heart, and your heart beats fast. β
The waiter's smile froze for a moment, and Kyild quickly stood up. He realized what was wrongβthe waitress was so steady that she didn't shake even when she was holding a tray larger than her body with one hand, and her footsteps were so faint that they could barely be heard. Even if he knew that the waiters in this shop were all mercenaries, it was far beyond the level that an ordinary mercenary should have.
"Who are you?" Kyild put on a cold face, "If the shopkeeper gives us food, then he will come over himself, and he will definitely not let a newcomer come." β
The waiter's gloomy face was fleeting, but it did not escape the eyes of the three men present. Just as Wokan was on his feet to grab the waiter, a sudden chaos ensued.
A masked man suddenly rushed up from behind behind Kyird's invisible, and slammed over the iron plate in the hands of the passing waiter, and the iron plate flew straight behind Kyird, while the waitress also lifted her iron plate over their bodies and fled with the man out of the store.
Although Kylde heard Leti's urgent warning, he couldn't turn around - he needed to catch the oversized iron plate with the two of Wokan and put it down properly, otherwise it would either hurt the women at their table who were unable to protect themselves, or the guests at the other tables would be injured, which would not be a satisfactory result. As for the iron plate behind it, it didn't have much accuracy when it sounded, and it wouldn't actually touch him at all.
"Bianko, get out of the way!"
He only had time to tell the girl sitting next to him to deal with the big guy in front of him, their casual clothes today had caused great inconvenience to their movements, and in a hurry, they could only pick up the plates and cutlery that had cooled down on the table to resist the trend of the iron plate, and then let it lose power and smash to the ground. Just as they were breathing a sigh of relief, the women's exclamations rang out again.
"Biya!"
Kyild frowned fiercely. After making sure that Letty and the other clerks had caught the man and woman, he looked at Bianco, who was surrounded by two women. An iron disc fell at the girl's feet, the hem of her skirt below the waist covered with oil, and on her arms, there were large red marks.
"Biya! Oh my God, Biya, hurry, hurry up and go to a place where you can wash your hands! β
Rosette panicked and took the girl's hand without the red mark and walked to the corner of the shop, and Lanorda followed in a hurry, and grabbed a clerk and told them to find the burn ointment. In stark contrast to them, there was no nervousness or pain on her face, and she was even looking curiously at the red marks on her arms, as if she wanted to touch them.
Kryd watched them leave with a stiff face, he was not stupid, but after a brief thought, he realized that even if the girl had heard his warning, she would not be physically fit enough to dodge the imminent attack. Wokan sighed and patted him on the shoulder, surely understanding his complicated feelings at the moment. But he went to Letty without sympathy, leaving him alone to agonize over whether or not he should fulfill his duty to visit the girl.
"Biya, oh, poor Biya." Rosette put cold water on her arm and said distressedly, "Does it hurt?" Look at what kind of stupid thing I'm asking, it will definitely hurt, and that iron plate will hit you directly on the arm! That's still piping hot! β
"I didn't feel any pain when I first ran into it, but I felt hot and a little painful on the way over." Biancole said of course, "It doesn't hurt now." β
Kryud, who had just walked to the bathroom door, paused, and after much thought, decided to stand outside and listen to them.
"It doesn't hurt now because there is cold water for you, of course it doesn't hurt." Lanoda said a little angrily, "Hey, I know he's your overseer and nothing more obligationβbut what's that?" Biya has been locked up in that kind of place all the time, how can he expect Biya to get out of the way? β
"Lano, don't be angry." "Mr. Kirde and Mr. Wokan need to deal with that more serious situation," Rosette said quietly. β
"How can this be called anger?!" Lanorda's voice rose for a moment, "Walkan remembered to pull me to a safe place first when he realized that there was something wrong with that woman, and Leti also protected the two people you went after well, didn't he think of something when he noticed that person's anomaly?" β
"Rano." Roset's voice became serious, "What are you talking about!" β
"Isn't itβ"
"If you want Biya to have a better life, then take back what you just said." Rosette's voice also raised slightly, "Mr. Wokan and you, Mr. Letty and me, Mr. Kylde and Biya, our relationship is completely different. You can't ask Mr. Kuird to use Mr. Wokan's attitude towards you - seriously, Mr. Kuird is just Biya's overseer, he has no obligation to protect Biya unscathed, he just needs to make sure Biya lives during his time under supervision! β
The bathroom fell silent for a moment, and after a few moments, Bianko's voice broke the silence.
"What are you talking about?" Her voice was full of doubt, "Why do you say it so loudly?" Are you arguing? β
"Oh no, Bia, we just had an argument about something." Rosette said softly, "Don't care what we just said, Biya. Lano, you go to the clerk and get a burn ointment shouldn't take that long. β
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
Kyild glanced at the clerk, who was afraid to go in because he was standing outside, and quickly left the place.
