Iris was puzzled, and Hayer continued.

“But as you know, isn’t Annamaria a commoner? The man she likes is a second son, but he’s from a noble family. She gave up early because she didn’t think she’d get permission.”

“I see.”

“But it would be different if she had a permanent residence someday. When I become lord, I will be able to confer a title to my vassals.”

“Ah, so…”

Iris murmured, recalling Annamaria before passing through the North Gate.

In the past, Annamaria said Hayer should have rebelled and defeated the king at the age of 20.

If a lord occupied a large area of land in the Luwan, he could distribute the land to his vassals and give them the status of nobility.

However, already in the land of Luwan, the nobles took as much land as they could, and the rest was just wasteland that was of no use for anything, or long grassed areas where large trees couldn’t grow.

In the first place, it was almost impossible for the nobles to expand to new territory, as only the Hall family had fertile land in Luwan.

From Annamaria’s view, Hayer seemed to have thought that if the new territory could not be expanded, he would take the country with treason.

Iris said.

“I wonder, what kind of person Dame Annamaria likes.”

“Ask Annamaria later. She’ll be excited to tell you.”

“I really must ask.”

Iris was talking like that, and then she turned to Ruben. Even Ruben, who was bored in the dungeon the whole time, had a shine in his eyes.

He opened his mouth.

“For a commoner knight to fall in love with a noble. That is tragic and beautiful.”

“I don’t know if love is beautiful, but he was handsome. Those green eyes…”

“Ah, maybe he’s from Dirpone!”

He seemed to be a person whose name came to mind just by saying green eyes and handsome.

The name that Ruben thought of was correct, and Hayer nodded.

Ruben said.

“Ah, I understand if it’s him. I saw him for a second, and Sandra was really amazed. It was a wonder that there was such a pretty man in the world. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed, but there was nothing I could do as a friend…”

Ruben, who couldn’t resist the love story after a long time, covered his mouth with both hands. Iris and Hayer were looking at him at the same time.

Hayer told Iris.

“Honestly, isn’t it deception to insist that it’s friendship despite being jealous?”

“It’s deception.”

“You’re a liar, Ruben Everhart.”

“I’m disappointed.”

Ruben was taken aback by what the two exchanged, and looked at both sides alternately.

Iris saw Ruben’s expression change from moment to moment, and was convinced that it would be strange if he didn’t love Sandra.

For a moment, Iris was completely distracted by Annamaria’s love story, but she immediately returned to reality. She thought she’d ask Annamaria later when she saw her.

She said to Ruben.

“So Ruben, did you kill your brother because you loved Sandra?”

“…It can’t be helped. Yes. That’s right.”

Ruben nodded helplessly.

Then Hayer said.

“You two must have been very close since you were young.”

“Ah, of course.”

“What kind of games did you play the most?”

“We probably… I think we went around picking a lot of fruit from trees. As you’ve seen, the Hall family’s mansion is full of fruit trees. All day long, we used to bet on who would get all kinds of fruit first.”

“I see. You climbed trees when you were children, didn’t you?”

“Yes! Of course. Since I was young, I used to compete with Sandra in climbing trees.”

“Who won? What’s the best record?”

“Sandra always won. The best record is… don’t be surprised. Sandra once climbed a tree in 58 seconds and then got down.”

“That’s amazing. Was there a big difference from you then?”

“I remember being competitive at that time, and coming down a little over a minute.”

Ruben was happy just to recall the memories.

Hayer listened to the stories and asked.

“Until when did you play like that?”

“Well, I think Sandra won until she was about 12 years old. After that, of course, I let her win.”

“At the age of twelve, she was fast enough to beat you.”

“She was.”

“With one arm.”

“……”

“She’s amazing.”

Ruben only then realized that the man who had been irritating from the beginning did not bring up the story of his childhood for fun.

Ruben said thoughtfully.

“Sa-Sandra… she was an athletic child. The trees…”

It was no use trying to make excuses.

Of course, it was true that Sandra was good at climbing trees. But when asked if it was enough to be able to beat a boy her age with one hand, it wasn’t.

Hayer looked at his left hand and said.

“Even I don’t think I can climb trees fast without one hand.”

“I… had a late start. How could we start together? I lost because I started climbing very late.”

“You didn’t say that when you said it took 58 seconds.”

“……”

“I can understand that, by saying that, Sandra Hall—the head—had both hands at that time.”

Ruben’s eyes began to shake.

He knelt down right in front of the two.

“Please. Please keep it a secret. Please…”

“Left hand, who cut it?”

“I… I did.”

Ruben’s shoulders trembled.

Sandra couldn’t sleep well ahead of her marriage to Ruben’s brother, Leon. It wasn’t that she slept much, but after a week, she had no choice but to wake up several times in the middle after she decided to kill someone, especially the brother of her precious friend.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she took out the dagger she had hidden under the sheets. She’s never killed a person with her own hands.

She clasped the handle of the dagger in her hands and pretended to thrust it into the air.

Will I be able to do it well?

To be honest, there was so much difference in physique with Leon that she wasn’t confident.

She was hiding her dagger under the sheet again when a shout was heard from outside.

Sandra went out to the balcony and found about 30 soldiers training in the distant training ground.

The training ground was quite far away, but she could hear their shouts from here. Everhart was a trading city, so they had no choice but to raise a vigilante like this.

There were some women in the vigilante group. Among the men, there were differences in physique. Maybe they know swordsmanship well enough to overcome the differences in physique.

When Sandra turned around and returned to the bedroom, there was a maid from Everhart when she came in.

She spoke to her.

“My lady, the young master asked to have a meal with you…”

Sandra nodded without saying anything.

She wore a dress with dozens of ribbons and then put on stockings.

Sandra fastened a garter belt on her thigh, and the maid weaved the stocking and garter belt. The shoes were shiny, new high-heeled brown shoes.

When working on the territory of the Hall family, she had never worn such fine clothes, but Leon bought her several of them.

It was all his taste, and his taste was very uncomfortable and dangerous. The heels were so thin that she was already nervous that she might fall.

When she finished dressing and getting her hair done, the maid straightened Sandra’s skirt and led the way to the dining room.
