Chapter 299
After the mysterious mysterious woman left.
Bertus wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
‘I made this mistake.’
Because of the rudeness he had never imagined beyond the level of lack of dignity, Bertus was sweating all over his body.
If someone did that to me, I would have the urge to kill. Bertus had never seen or heard of, nor had he imagined, spitting tea into his opponent’s face.
That much, it was an act of rudeness that went beyond the limit.
By the way, the opponent seemed embarrassed, but not angry.
It was such an absurd answer.
His hands were shaking too much, so he wondered why someone who didn’t even know who he was would be so nervous.
I’m addicted to alcohol out of nowhere.
It was an answer that did not fit at all with his noble appearance.
The clothes were not very classy and plain. I couldn’t tell what was in the large trunk, but it was hard to see because it was a high-end item.
Strictly speaking, it would be about a well-bred commoner girl.
The only distinguishing feature is the silver hair that seems to shine and the delicate features that look like they were drawn in a painting. It looks like she put on heavy makeup, but I didn’t feel any discomfort.
He was a strange person in many ways.
From afar, I heard the commotion, and even on the way I heard that high-pitched voice.
-Huh, you’re just an idiot who’ll get out of hand if you’re wrong?
– Are you confident?
No matter where you look, it’s not something a grown-up lady would do.
– rattle
“I, Your Highness… … .”
“Uh, sit down.”
Bertus froze as he looked at the man approaching him and the two other men he was carrying.
They knelt in front of Bertus, not a chair, even though Bertus didn’t say anything. Bertus crossed his legs and crossed his arms, looking at the three on his knees.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I’m sorry!”
“Doesn’t it make sense when I say that the goal is the safe operation and operation of the horsepower train and each station? By the way, not only creating a sense of incongruity to the citizens, but also trying to stab the citizens?”
“Sorry, Your Highness!”
The man who finally got angry at the mysterious lady and tried to swing his hand.
These three are not just soldiers, but Bertus’ vassals.
In other words, they were the knights of the Salarian duchy.
Bertus laughed.
“How much did you get?”
“yes?”
“Fortunately, nothing special happened. If you had really stabbed that lady at least, I would have been beaten up for a week and then heard that the head of security let the citizens beat up, and my half brother would have done nothing but watched me explode. This is unfortunate. Because that girl is so nasty that she can block your slap with one hand? huh? Aren’t you glad that girl, not you, didn’t waste my week’s efforts?”
“Sorry, sorry. God’s thoughts were short.”
“Oh, how much did you get? You don’t understand. If you didn’t get money from Charlotte, why are you doing this crazy thing? Tell me, how much did my half brother get?”
The expressions of the three knights of the Duke of Salerian went white at Bertus’ evil joke.
Right now, Bertus’ words and actions were subtly similar to Reinhardt’s.
“Kill me, Your Highness!”
Bertus had a twisted judgment, but he had no intention of killing these three.
Knights transcend the law to some extent the moment they become a privileged class, especially when they become a knight of a family close to power.
So there are people who know that the privilege they have comes from them. So there are times when I am overly ignorant and arrogant.
There are only such people among the knights of the Salarian duchy.
Since there are so many things that guards do with just a few words, and there are so many things that people don’t take responsibility even after killing people, they think it’s okay to just kill a few citizens.
It was a bit, seriously stupid, to the extent of trying to stab a citizen in front of people.
“If you try to ruin my week again like this, it will be fun.”
Bertus bit them off after speaking with a bloody expression.
Even if they think short, there is no use in being competent if they are too short.
Those who like sword fighting can be sent to a place where they can do a lot of sword fighting.
Bertus had already decided which frontier to transfer the three of them to.
Even if it was a hand-to-hand sword against a petty thief, the problem would have been bigger if it had hit a citizen who was trying to stop the situation.
Bertus couldn’t see it properly, but he heard that the silver-haired lady grabbed the knight’s wrist.
He was a person who looked like he couldn’t use his power.
Even if it wasn’t full power, it was enough to grab the knight’s arm with one hand. Of course, Bertus was aware of some non-standard cases that body size and physical strength were not necessarily proportional.
what is the person doing
For the first time in his life, Bertus was very curious about the identity of the person he had spit black tea on.
‘I’m sure I saw it somewhere… … .’
And somehow I got used to it.
It’s not a face or expression or anything like that.
-Huh, you’re just an idiot who’ll get out of hand if you’re wrong?
– Are you confident?
no wonder.
I guess that behavior is familiar.
But the silver-haired girl’s impression was so strong that Bertus couldn’t think of anyone else.
The way he was so flustered and restless that he faced himself was somewhat cute.
‘… … It wouldn’t be nice if a noble person knew about it.’
And, even though he never said it, he seemed to know who he was. Of course, her face wasn’t unknown at all, so there was nothing particularly strange about knowing her.
who is it
what is the person doing
Bertus was disturbed by something that happened out of nowhere.
* * *
Even meeting Bertus through a dog-like coincidence made me cringe. However, it was even more like a dog that nothing would have happened if the kids had seen them beaten up and just let it go.
this.
It was a concept at first, but now that I live like this, I feel like I’ve really become this kind of person.
No, but isn’t it a little bit like beating kids like dogs?
… … Even if the words are right, I guess I’ve already eaten a little bit at the point I said them.
Let’s not mind.
There’s no way Bertus would come to see something like a dress-up contest. In the first place, it seemed that he was not planning to go to the temple because he was in charge of important work rather than the temple festival.
As they approached the temple, their steps became heavier and heavier.
really… … .
I really hate to go… … .
Still have to go
Because this is all about wanting me to do well.
I have to go… … .
The trunk was also somehow heavy, like dragging a lump of iron.
One thing I decided on.
If you go out of your temper like you did just now, strange things might happen.
First of all, let’s be patient no matter what happens. If you don’t tolerate it, it may turn out to be even worse.
* * *
“why me… … .”
Kono Lint was staring blankly into space with unfocused eyes. She, Lint, was wearing a women’s dress prepared by the organizers.
Kono Lint wanted to cut out his tongue for talking nonsense.
‘I heard that the dress up contest is today?’
‘What is that?’
Heinrich von Schwarz, Kaier Bioden, Erhi de Laphaeri, and even Kono Lint.
The four of them were enjoying this and that by wandering around together throughout the festival.
‘They say they’re accepting applications until this evening.’
The reason I brought up the story was because of the evil thought that it wouldn’t be me.
‘The one who lost by playing rock-paper-scissors, get out of there. how is it.’
Boys sometimes risk their lives on odd bets.
To be precise, they take unnecessary adventures to see the ugliness of others.
‘… … what? Why do you go out like that? it’s crazy?’
‘Why, isn’t it interesting?’
how embarrassing will it be
The appearance of each other doing things we would never want to do in front of so many people. Just looking at that shame-soaked face, I could feel the warmth.
The teasing of a lifetime.
There’s no reason not to see it. Naturally, everyone reacted lukewarmly.
Until Kono Lint said this, it certainly was.
‘Isn’t it just me?’
There are four candidates. So the odds are one in four.
It’s an impossible gamble.
Before rational judgment took precedence, Kono Lint spearheaded it.
‘If I don’t do it, I’m leaving!’
result.
“… … .”
All of this is explained by the fact that Kono Lint is now in the waiting room at the back of the auditorium where the crossdressing contest is being held.
To become someone if it wasn’t for me was to become someone, and that was Kono Lint.
It would have been the same probability, but strangely, there were many cases where one side decided to do it first, and Kono Lint was the match.
“Baby. Aren’t you going?”
“Ah Okay… … .”
“Listen to my face. what’s wrong with your skin I don’t even wear makeup. Tsk.”
Liana de Granz was painting Kono Lint’s face.
Liana, who usually sees herself as a cow and chicken. Like this, the duke’s daughter is enjoying the honor of doing makeup with her own hands.
Normally, I would be overjoyed and my heart racing, but Kono Lint just died in real time.
‘what? A dress-up contest?’
‘Do you guys have a hobby like that?’
‘penalty?’
‘Oh, is that him?’
‘Huh. nice. Oh yeah. It’s fun! Ah, ahaha! Makeup? okay. What can I do? uh! I’ll do anything! Where are you? Is it today?’
I don’t even want to put on makeup, but in the end, friends tend to cooperate very enthusiastically with those involved in such bad news.
Everyone went to see Liana because they knew that Liana was supporting Ellen and Cliffman because of Mr. and Miss Temple’s problems.
As if everyone had been squeamish, as soon as Kono Lint was decided to participate in the women’s dress up contest, he succeeded in recruiting Liana, who was normally shy to talk to.
It was fun, so as if it was all right, Liana was in the waiting room at the back where the dress-up contest was taking place, and not only did Kono Lint’s makeup, but also picked out her clothes.
Of course, Liana didn’t lend her clothes.
While putting on one of the many women’s clothes prepared by the organizers, Liana was struggling with makeup and wigs.
After thinking for a while, Liana clicked her tongue.
“What?”
“what.”
“No matter what you do, it’s just funny?”
“… … .”
No matter how hard she tried, Liana giggled as she looked at Lint’s appearance.
A similar scene was unfolding around them. Since the scale of the competition was not that large, the waiting room was just a huge hall behind a huge auditorium. Some people just sigh deeply, and there are others who, like themselves, have someone put on their makeup.
Usually, the expression is bad.
There were also people who were fiddling while looking in the mirror intently, and it was harder to see that way.
And over there, a huge human tank was wearing a one-piece dress that was as big as possible, but it looked like a short skirt.
It was even more terrifying to see that he couldn’t bear it, as if he was ashamed of himself.
This place is hell.
Kono Lint wondered who was more vicious, the demons of Hell or the crowd who came to laugh at them.
Since the number of participants is limited to one person who can help with makeup or coordinating like Liana, it was fortunate that only Liana would laugh at this.
This guy’s mouth is the problem.
Even if you fall into a sense of wonder, you can’t turn it back anyway.
Participation number 1.
Kono Lint wore a placard with his number on his chest.
even one time
Participation numbers are random, not in order of application.
The person who applied last must go out as the first batter.
It made me want to die even more.
“Why weren’t you born prettier?”
“Why is it my fault… … . Why do I have to be born pretty… … . I’m a man… … .”
“okay? But you weren’t particularly handsome.”
“help me… … .”
While Liana was putting on her makeup, she was giggling at how interesting it was, and was banging on it all the time.
Who do you resent?
I just resent myself for inviting this hell.
Inside that hell where we look at each other like that and hold back our laughter, in the slightly noisy waiting room while preparing for the tournament.
Kono Lint saw someone sitting somewhere in a corner among people who looked like him.
It was a man wearing a robe.
It looked like he was a participant.
I couldn’t see it properly because I was wearing a hood, but I could see the silver hair of the other person, the beautiful jawline, and even the sparkling pink lips.
Even if you pretend, the atmosphere is somehow different.
Someone approached a person who was just sitting in a corner, not talking to anyone, and just sitting still.
It was a person who appeared to be a member of the organizers of the tournament.
I couldn’t hear the conversation because it was far away, but it seemed that they were having a conversation, and the person took off the hood with a nod of understanding.
For a moment, Kono Lint was speechless.
It was the same for the other contestants who happened to have their eyes on him.
It seemed that they were having a conversation in that state, and the host nodded as if they understood.
“Where do you see that?”
When Liana couldn’t take her eyes off Kono Lint somewhere, she turned her gaze towards it and dropped the cosmetics she was holding.
“… … what. Can women participate too? No, it can’t be, can it?”
Liana muttered blankly.
Of course, I knew it couldn’t be, but I couldn’t help but say it.
girl.
No, not a girl, but a girl anyway.
After talking with the organizers, the girl put the hood on again.
“Is that a man?”
Liana turned to Kono Lint and asked with a bewildered expression. Her face was no longer visible,
“Even if you ask me about that… … .”
Not only the two of them, but everyone who saw the silver-haired contestant couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
Even Kono Lint thought that the girl(?) had met his eyes before putting on the hood.
I saw clearly that the face of the girl who wore the hood was blushing.
‘no way… … .’
Even though it was only for a moment, Kono Lint felt something in the girl’s face and attitude.
‘Isn’t it that he has a crush on me?’
Kono Lint was on a strange slippery slope.
Participation number 40.
If nothing else, Lindt could see the number on the girl’s chest.
Kono Lint could see the girl muttering something all the time under the hood with only the shape of her mouth.
-Why are these sick people here… … . why… … .
Of course, I didn’t know that it was mostly a nutshell close to sangsori.
