Chapter 896
I listened to the foreman and Ms. Delia
Judging by the way he was eating and drinking, I could certainly believe that he was more sad about not being able to hunt as well if she left.
Well, perhaps he was just too awkward to show his true emotions.
Perhaps Ms. Delia could return more quickly if she rode on Leo? But then again, she might not want to do that.
Well, I would make sure she had enough days off… After all, it was a nice village, and I would probably want to visit with the others as well.
“Still, I heard that you will be working under Lady Claire? Are you sure that everything will be alright?”
“Sure about… I was able to talk to her. She seemed very kind and wise. I have nothing to worry about.”
Ms. Delia glanced towards me awkwardly.
She would really be working for me, but could not reveal that part right now.
“Lady Claire is currently living in that mansion near Ractos. Some think it quite strange.”“Yes, indeed.”
Ms. Delia looked more uncomfortable as the conversation continued.
I nodded at her reassuringly… Claire would not be offended by such comments. Though, she might be interested to know how others thought of her.
“Living so far from her father… But it seems like they get along, at least. Well, perhaps it is a good thing, as things are improving in Ractos. By the way, what did you think of it, Delia? I have not been there for a long time myself. Last time I was attacked…but I sent him running.”
“Hmm… It did not seem very dangerous to me. Someone even helped me when I tripped.”
“I see… So things have improved since then. But you had to cover your ears and tail? I doubt there are other beastkin in Ractos.”
“Well…at first. I wore a hat and hit my tail… But it’s so difficult to walk like that. On the other hand, they were selling hats with fake ears now. So when I showed my real ears, no one said anything.”
“That is a surprise… Though, I was in the slums when I got attacked. Some thugs cornered me.”
“They must have been very bad. I suppose they wanted money.”
“If anything, they wanted me to join them at first. Said I could help them attack travelers and merchants.
“…So they thought you were one of them already! After all, children sometimes cry when they look at you.”
So he hadn’t been threatened for money, but they wanted him to join their gang.
Perhaps they were like the people Nick was involved in, who had attacked Claire and I before.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Indeed, there was something about the foreman’s face that could be perceived as villainous to some…
From those sideburns to the scars on his cheek. And he had very piercing eyes as well.
In any case, I would not say such bold things to his face, like Ms Delia was doing… Well, she could say that because they were close.
Besides, I knew someone else like that.
The duke had a stronger impact than anyone I had ever met…
