“Well, … I must have misunderstood then. I thought that a guy from who knows where took Natalie, but I guess he was just a friend.”
Then Ralph started to laugh, “Hahahaha.”
What the heck is going on?
Why is he laughing?
I am a little confused.
Well, I didn’t want him to be mad at me, but…
“Owen, please continue to get along with Natalie.”
“…Y-Yes?”
I wonder how he came to that conclusion.
I truly don’t understand the thought process of the big shots.
Ralph stood up from the couch in a good mood and headed out of the room.
“Natalie. Go back to the hall after a while. If the main character does not show up for a long time, they’ll get suspicious.”
“Yes… I’ll be right there.”
Ralph slammed the door shut.
I made sure he left the room then collapsed limply onto the couch.
“Aah. I was so nervous!”
“Even you get nervous?”
“Of course. He is the head of the Alderath family.”
He has a lot of trust from the king and can be entrusted with the central part of the country.
In addition, he is skilled in the use of magic.
I can be destroyed in an instant, socially, and physically.
That makes me nervous.
“But he is a better person than I thought.”
“That’s not the case… I am sure my father thought you would be helpful. He’s the kind of person who only sees others by that kind of criteria.”
Useful …huh.
I wonder what criteria he uses to make his decision.
“I don’t know what kind of uses I could serve, but I’m glad you didn’t blame me.”
“Yeah. That is right. As father said, I think we will have a long relationship. Please treat me well,” Natalie put out her right hand and asked for a handshake.
