Chapter Twenty-Three: Pathos

"You ...... Know?" Tarrant carefully let go of his wrist and put the man down, realizing that he had made a fool of himself again.

The man's distorted face turned to Tarrant, "Hell, who are you?"

"I'm ......" Tarrant's face burned, "I mistakenly thought you were stalking......"

"He's really following me", the girl glared at Benson angrily, "what are you doing here"

The door of the villa opened, and a man in a military uniform ran out of the door, "What's wrong?" with a guard of honor sword at his waist.

"It's all right, this knight is secretly protecting me, and he has helped me teach me a lesson from a despicable stalker," the girl angrily pointed at the guy named Benson.

Benson flicked his hands in the air, "I didn't I just wanted to see where you went"

"I have nothing to do with you, everything you do makes me even more disgusted," the girl accused loudly.

The farce at the door attracted the people of the villa, who hurried over, all dressed in ceremonial dresses, two of the men in military uniforms, and the girls with wine glasses in their hands, and a small ball.

"Sandra, it's only me who truly loves you, they just fancy your family's wealth," Benson rushed towards the lady.

The man in the military dress stood between the two, his right hand on the hilt of his sword, "Sandra, who is he?"

"A shameless fellow, let him go", the girl turned.

The sword was drawn, "Untouchable, do you hear me, this young lady doesn't want to see you again." ”

"Sandra, I truly love you, and I'm willing to give a qiē for you, even if it's my life," Benson tried to get closer, but was held to his throat by the tip of his sword.

Crowd shouted: "Shameless pariahs" "Get out" and "Get out of here"

Two other officers walked towards Benson.

The poor man, Tarrant, who began to sympathize with him, was insulted by everyone in front of the woman he loved, and his bold confession was described as "shameless".

"Sandra" Benson suddenly fell to his knees, "They won't give you happiness, they only have money in their eyes," he cried out in pain.

The officer kicked him over, "What nonsense, your pursuit is an insult to this pretty young lady, get out of here"

The officer on the right clenched his fists and walked towards Benson.

Tarrant could no longer bear this scene, the feelings of the rotten nobles and forces, he stepped forward and grabbed the officer's hand, "Don't"

Everyone's eyes moved to Tarrant, and the officer shouted as if provoked, "Who are you?"

"He's the knight who protects me, the Knights of the Light of Protection, and he's the one who found this man following me," the girl gave her a grateful look.

"What a knight of justice," whispered a girl in the crowd.

The officer stared at Tarrant's face, and after a few seconds, he slowly released his fist, pointed at Benson and shouted, "Guard, let this pariah disappear"

The two guards embarrassedly picked up the crowd and led Benson to the street, and the infatuated man still confessed loudly: "Sandra, I will not give up on you, I will always love you alone"

There were a few sneers from the crowd, and the officer beside Sandra put away his sword, "I'll take you back in my carriage later." ”

"Thank you," the maiden bowed, and said to the crowd, "how can I thank this knight?" ”

A couple of girls invited, "Come along." "Welcome the Warriors of the Light of Shelter"

The officer duly held out his hand to Tarrant, "Thank you for your righteous act, how about joining us at the ball?"

From his contrived expression, Tarrant saw disdain for the adventurers, his invitation was just to prove his demeanor in front of the girls, Benson was right, this group of people only cared about status, wealth, status, Tarrant felt suffocated by this kind of occasion, he reached out and shook the hypocritical man, "I have something to do." ”

A man in a black tuxedo popped out of the crowd, "Hey, isn't this Tarrant?" He had brown hair, a round face, a fat nose, and a slightly fat build, "What a surprise to see you here"

The disgusting expression, Homer, was Tarrant's former friend, his father was an officer in the Empire, and Tarrant had no friendship with him so far.

"Come", Homer grabbed Tarrant's hand, "Let me introduce you, this knight's name is Tarrant, and his father was the captain of the Royal Guard of Siant"

"Oh—" The girls exclaimed softly, and the eyes of the three officers changed.

"He's inherited his father's bravery and swordsmanship, remember Wensley?, the Demon Artist, the knight who found out that he had been rewarded with great prizes from four empires for it, and had earned our respect," Homer clapped his hands as the others beat along.

"Not only that," Homer swept over the crowd, "Tarrant fought in the Castle Guard, he was one of the very few surviving warriors, and his sword was stained with the blood of those ugly elves."

Tarrant doesn't know what Homer's current job is, but he has a set of propaganda and exaggeration, perhaps related to politics, exaggeration and deception.

A woman in a tight red dress smiled at Tarrant, "That must have been very tragic, I heard that the king had lost nearly a thousand cavalry troops. ”

"The dark elves are the most terrible creatures," echoed another nobleman.

"Hahaha", Homer smiled and gestured for silence, "Why don't we invite him in and let him tell you about those extraordinary experiences" The crowd immediately moved out of the way, and the three officers stood aside with their heads bowed, Homer held hands and invited Tarrant, "Come on, hero." ”

The gaze on Tarrant's face made him feel uncomfortable, he didn't want to be exhibited like a circus bear, they had no concept of Tinworth Mountain and the Dark Elves, they just wanted to have some occasional fun in their ordinary lives, why waste time here? Tarrant took a step back, "I still have something to do, let's do it later." ”

Homer raised his hand, "Ah, I forgot one thing, this busy hero, close to the big guys of Siant"

Everyone's eyes became even hotter, almost leaving a visit mark on Tarrant's face, and the fat face next to him made Tarrant sick, and he protested in a low voice: "What are you talking about?"

"Hahaha, we know each other very well, don't we", Homer paused slightly, "Horrentino, everyone has heard of it, Tarrant's relationship with their family is extraordinary, if any lady wants to order rare jewelry, this is a good opportunity", the thief's eyes rolled in circles, " And Lynn, this name that appears in the newspaper every day, Tarrant and Lord Lynn are the best partners, they almost grew up wearing the same pants Before you are surprised, stop, I have another character to add, this name may be a little unfamiliar to the ladies present, but I am sure the gentlemen must know, the director of the Culpeber Institute of Magic"

The guy's introduction almost made Tarrant a commodity, and Tarrant's resistance began to boil, and he was tempted to grab the fat man by the collar and beat him in the nose.

Homer didn't mind Tarrant's eyes, he laughed cheekily, "Let me think about what other stories he has, his experience is so rich, maybe not so many things will happen in my life, tell us about it." ”

"You've said enough", Sander stretched out his hand, his snow-white skin faintly revealing under the veil, "Knight, how about a dance with me?" The men around him looked envious, maybe it was a privilege for them, but it didn't pique Tarrant's interest in the slightest, it was all dark, and he was probably late, "I'm sorry, I have to go." ”

"Just do a dance," Sandra said to Tarrant.

Tarrant had turned and walked down the stairs, "Next time," the bright candle flame in the room casting his shadow on the ground like a humanoid monster.
