Chapter 208: Annoyance
It's not a good time to have a celebration, but you can't be sloppy with entertaining Age. Beth admires Age, though she still has a lot of questions about Edge. Naturally, she couldn't talk to Aiji alone. Although she has no relationship with Rice, she is also in the name of Rice's fiancée, how can she be ambiguous with another man in public.
Aegie expressed due etiquette in everyone's enthusiastic eyes, but he didn't have the consciousness of 'boising' with everyone to the end. For him, there are only two things he wants to do at the moment. One, talk to Bis and settle the matter of rolling the sheets that night. Second, solve the siege of the pirate group and return to the Greatsword squad as soon as possible.
Now he is well known to the seas in this area. A man with an exaggerated sword, a man who knows martial arts and advanced wind magic, a man who can sink several warships in a matter of minutes...... In short, the image of Aiji is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
However, no matter what others look at, Edge's belief is still firm. He wanted to sweep the sea as quickly as possible, so that it would become his power. And the premise of being able to take this action is after solving the plight of the Beth caravan and sending them away.
Ajiben was eager to help Bes, but later in a conversation with a nobleman, he learned that Beth was a native of the Bhikkhu Wild Empire. And this caravan is also a caravan belonging to the Bhikkhu Empire.
Hearing such news, Aggie had a lot of negative emotions.
The person who is now invading the Kenos Empire is none other than the Bhikkhu Empire. And now, the caravan of the Bhikkhu Ye Empire is in trouble in their own country, why should they help them?
What a rebellious thing to do! As a subject of the Empire, you should intercept the caravans of the Bhikshu Empire, destroy them, and rob them of their resources!
Luckily, Edge was an emotional man, and considering Jericho's request and the surname he recognized as Beth, he didn't have the idea of snatching Bess's caravan. Overall, Beth is still a good person, as long as she doesn't threaten the empire and doesn't do evil, everything is negotiable.
However, this does not mean that I have to help her for free. Since she is a caravan of the Bhikkhu Empire, then ...... Hmph, there's always something left, right?
For this reason, Aggie made an excuse and declared that he wanted to talk to Beth alone.
Beth was a little surprised, but she was glad that she had long wanted to talk to Aegie alone.
In order to avoid unnecessary gossip, Edge chose not to be in Bess's room, but on the deck of the main ship. Since it was a separate talk, the other guards and servants naturally had to be repatriated.
Beth is very fond of Aggie now, although she can't make intimate gestures, her eyes are very warm, and the corners of her mouth are always with a faint smile, as if she has negotiated a huge business.
Edge wasn't used to being like this. To be honest, he didn't want Beth to misunderstand anything about what happened with Bess, whether it was last night's stand or what he had just helped repel the pirates. And he can also see subtly that in Bessy's eyes, her feelings for herself and love have very little component.
It's more like a fanatical appreciation of something of great value.
If you think about it, Beth is a merchant, a shrewd businessman, fanatical enough to treat people as commodities, and there may be. Age was a little happy about this, since it was just an appreciative feeling, it was much easier to talk about.
"Miss Bess, I think we have to talk about something before we talk. Edge said to Bess.
"Was it last night? Was it last night?" Bis chuckled and looked at Age, shrewdly able to guess what Edge was thinking, and said, "You don't mind that, I don't mean to blame you." ”
"I regret it, I knew I wouldn't drink so much, so I could enjoy it better. "Beth quipped.
Edge was stunned for a moment, looked at Bes, and said solemnly: "Miss Bessy, if we hadn't been drinking, that kind of thing would never have happened." ”
"Okay, now that you've seen it, let's talk about it...... Let's get down to business. Edge was serious, and looked at Beth with a look of business.
Beth wasn't the kind of person who would deliberately scratch her head and pose, and since Edge was like this, she got serious and said, "Okay, what are you going to say?"
Edge was silent for a moment and said, "One, let me explain the situation to you first. As for who I am, I think you only know my name, not my identity. ”
"And what about your identity?" Bezy frowned slightly, with a feeling that it wasn't going well.
"Who I am...... Let me explain to you this, your grandfather asked me for help to support you......"
"What?!" Hearing Age's words, Beth immediately came out in surprise, glared at Edge, and shouted, "You say...... Are you the right person for the guard that Grandpa asked for help with the magic letter......? My grandfather told me that the magic letter he sent had been intercepted, and I didn't know if it was friend or foe. ”
"Oh......" After Beth said this, Edge remembered that he asked Monroe to stop Jericho's moving magic letter and did not reply, presumably because of this caused Jericho's misunderstanding.
"This ...... I'm sorry, but I was a little surprised to see your grandfather's letter asking for help, and I forgot to reply to him......"
"But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I'm here and I'll help you......"
"Doesn't it matter?!" said Beth and Edge.
Edge looked at her, not knowing what she was up against.
Beth suddenly sneered, snorted, and said, "Don't you think it matters?" Hmph, the helper my grandfather found had slept with me on the first day. You say, if my grandfather knew about this, how would he react? Do you know how much my grandfather loves me?"
"Hmph, if my grandfather hired you on certain terms, and you took the benefits to help me. So, don't you think sleeping with me is something you should take to heart?!"
Beth looked at Edge with the expression of a businessman talking about business. She thinks that it was her grandfather who asked Aggie to help her, so Aggie must have gained something. And Aegie came to the main ship last night, and when he saw her, he didn't reveal his identity immediately. This had to make her wonder if Aggie had ulterior motives?
Hearing Bessy's words, Aggie was even more sure that in Bessy's eyes, there was no subtle love between him and her at all.
Of course, he absolutely not, he is not so promiscuous, and suddenly falls in love with Beth while having Kate. In Bes's thoughts, it is more about her own interests, whether it is the needs of underground lovers or others, even if she really has feelings, it is also interests first.
Edge couldn't help but be a little annoyed by this.
Bess is a woman, her family background, appearance and other conditions are very good, a noble woman, even if she has a relationship with a man, she doesn't care very much. Could it be that the body is really cheaper than the interests around her?
Another point is that Edge didn't take Jericho's benefits directly at all! Bess's words made him somewhat displeased with Bez.
