Chapter 53: Friendship ......
The grass was muddy and wet after the rain, and Inya took off her armor with the help of her attendants and prepared to wash her hair. She had been marching with the Bretonnian army for a week, and she had been unable to take care of her personal hygiene, but now she had a rare source of clean water, so she naturally had to take care of it.
As soon as he took off his heavy armor, a Bretonnian knight approached. Oh, no, not a knight, and when he approached, Inya saw that it was Tallinnham. It's just that the armor and weapons he wears are too similar to those of knights, so from a distance, he mistakenly thinks he is a knight.
"Hello, ma'am, I see you washing your long hair, and I thought this might be useful to you. ”
Tallinnam walked up to the knightess and handed a small glass bottle to Inya. The waitress beside Inya took the bottle, glanced at it, and then handed it to her master vigilantly.
"What is this?"
Inya pretended not to know and asked with a deliberate smile.
"Olive oil. ”
Tarlenham stared at the female knight and replied with a serious expression.
"How did you get it? It's a priceless thing, and even in Tyrellle, it's not something that ordinary people can afford. The liquid of gold, as people call it. ”
Inya said with a smile.
"I got it from the accompanying merchants. ”
Tallinnam replied earnestly, but his tongue was a little knotted as he spoke. This made Innya feel funny, a young man in his twenties, as if he had never seen a woman.
"It should be expensive. Broke the bank. Inya laughed, "I don't need it anymore, though." You'd better keep it for yourself. ”
"Why?"
A look of disappointment came out of Tallinnam's face, barely concealed.
"The battle is coming, my long hair will obstruct my vision, and my movement will be dull, so in order to fight to the best of my ability, I must cut my hair short, like you men, so that I can better wear my helmet and wield my sword. ”
Inya said, her tone visibly serious.
"But...... That's a whole year of your hair. ”
"How do you know it's a whole year?"
Inya looked at the little squire in front of her, and her question left the lovely young man speechless.
For a few seconds, Tallinn froze in place, his words stuck in his throat, unable to speak. Fortunately, Inya quickly resolved the embarrassment.
"Hehe, it's a whole year. It takes at least a year for a girl's hair to grow to this length. You are attentive, my friend. ”
Hearing him say that, Tallinnham felt his heart beat faster. Yes, Inya doesn't seem to be disgusted with herself, and besides, she considers herself a friend. You know, as a foreigner, she came to fight in Bretonnia and barely let down her guard against anyone. Those knights, on the surface, pay attention to the spirit of chivalry, but what is really behind the scenes, no one knows.
"So, did you come to see me?"
Inya asked the attendant to wash her hair while chatting with Tallinn. She really didn't have any dislike for this little squire, because he was very real...... Like his lord Berto, upright, true.
"Hmm...... No...... I...... I passed by ......"
When they looked at each other, Tallinnham felt that his gaze had nowhere to go. He wanted to look at Inya a few more times, but he was worried that the other party would be angry and that he was rude. So, I can only look away and look away. When he retracted his gaze, he realized that the other party was still looking at him. This made him even more overwhelmed, and his voice was slurred.
This amused Inya, who smiled, two small dimples unconsciously showing the corners of her mouth. It made Tallinnham more and more difficult to extricate himself.
"Okay. ”
Inya sat on a stone pier, facing Tallinnam. This was the first time Tallinnham had seen her unarmoured, no different from a noble girl...... Of course, she was originally a noble girl. At the age of less than twenty years, it is the most youthful and beautiful age of a woman. Tallinnam's surprise was only her figure, originally thought that a woman who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time should have the same strong body as a man, but when Inya took off her armor, Tallinnham found that the other party's figure was as slender and slender as those noble girls locked in the court. It's just that Inya's sword arm muscles are very strong, and her skin is not as good as those noble girls. It should be said that she originally had beautiful skin, but after a long time of wind and rain, sun and rain, her delicate skin became a little rough and chapped.
"Tallinnam. ”
"Huh?"
"I'm curious how you managed to gain Berto's trust, I've been out and about for so long, and I've never seen a squire on an equal footing with your lord. You're a peculiar man, and so is your lord. ”
Inya said as the waitress stood behind her, cutting her long hair off with a knife.
Tallinnam only felt pity, but there was nothing he could do.
"You may not believe it, but I didn't take the initiative to become Lord Berto's attendant. It was he who once saved my life, and out of gratitude and for learning, I became his attendant. ”
Tallinnham returned in earnest. He looked at Inya, and once again looked away from the other person's eyes, and when he saw Inya's towering breasts, he looked away embarrassed......
"We take risks together and fight together. When Lord Berto was out on his adventures, he had no knight by his side, and I was his only attendant. We have traveled from Kislev to the Empire to Tyrells, the Frontier Princes, and more. The more dangerous the enemy, the more the Berto lord has to explore. ”
"Behemoth's lair, the Skull Coast, the undead fleet, we've seen so much. There are some things that even the people of Bretonnian themselves do not believe. However, these are the things that I and Lord Berto have experienced firsthand. I know I lack a lot, but, in terms of adventure alone, I don't think there is any knightly squire in Bretonnia who has as much experience as I have. ”
Tallinnham said proudly. Inya listened curiously. He was indeed an anomaly, and she was not. Give up a pampered life, be alone, say goodbye to your hometown, say goodbye to your parents, and embark on the path of pursuing the truth. This is originally walking a different path from ordinary people. From this point of view, they are still somewhat similar. For the obsession in my heart, even if I don't understand it, I don't hesitate to do it.
"Have you ever been to my hometown?"
Inya asked softly.
"No, Lord Berto and I both walked on small paths and tried to avoid big cities. Unless food and supplies need to be replenished. Otherwise, it is rare to enter large cities. According to Lord Berto, too much comfort in life wears down the will of man. Only desperate situations can unleash human potential. ”
"Your lords are peculiar. No wonder no one wants to go out on adventures with him. ”
Inya joked.
"But he's right, the current Bretonnian knights ......"
Tallinnam stopped talking...... He looked around, but still didn't say anything.
