"Costat, please speak slowly. My psychological endurance is actually not as strong as I appear. I am still a fragile human being in essence."
"..."
"Sir, I'm... sorry?"
Before Costart could finish speaking, Ronald covered his chest and knelt down like her.
In the midst of an extremely delicate atmosphere between the two.
Although Costart looked embarrassed, he still chose to perform his duties, and then explained:
"At last night's banquet, there was a nobleman named Dantès who wanted his town to establish friendship with Curpis. Since you were not present, I boldly agreed out of positive considerations.
"
"..."
"Huh? That's it?"
Ronald's nervous expression collapsed instantly.
At first, when he saw Costart coming over to apologize in such an exaggerated manner, he thought he had gotten into serious trouble again. But after listening to this brief report, it turned out that it was just this level of 'making arbitrary decisions'?
"Hahaha." Seeing that the tense atmosphere disappeared instantly, Patricia who saw this scene couldn't help laughing, and even took the initiative to pat Ronald on the shoulder, "Ronald, you guys
These two are really interesting."
"But you don't have to worry, I asked about Sir Dantès last night."
"He is the lord of a port city in the [Nikos Empire]. He usually has a good reputation and does not have any annoying quirks. There will be no problem in contacting him in your town. Costart is still very serious in this regard.
I have thought about it for you."
"I understand." After listening to Patricia's explanation, Ronald cast a grateful look.
Then he immediately helped the maid in front of him up, and everyone around him could hear the ease in his tone:
"Costat, I misunderstood just now. You did a good job in this matter."
"Sir, is it true?"
Although he obeyed Ronald's action and stood up, Costart still had concerns on his face, obviously very unsure of his decision.
Regarding this situation, Ronald directly reached out and nodded his head, and then invited Costart:
"If you still don't believe it, you can come in and have a look."
"..."
Costat immediately understood what Ronald meant.
This is a sign that you can read and remember to ensure the absolute authenticity of the conversation.
"Sir, I believe you!"
Forget about the special situation when we first met.
Now that she has been with Ronald for almost half a year, she has gradually begun to awaken her complete personality. Costart, who has always regarded herself as a maid, how dare she do such a thing, now she bent down and saluted to repay her loyalty.
On the other side, watching the exchange between Ronald and Costart, Patricia confirmed that nothing would happen again, so she chose to say goodbye at this time:
"Okay, okay, you two will slowly get to know each other in private."
"I have to go and tell His Highness Ronald about your coming. We will see you at the banquet later."
As soon as the words fell, Patricia left here without looking back.
Her character as a swordsman remains the same as before, never hesitating in her actions.
"See you tonight, Patricia!"
Ronald waved goodbye, and then walked into the room arranged by Nikos with Costat.
The impact of strength is very obvious.
Although Ronald was not present when the room was arranged, he and Costart still had a quite luxurious room here. Both the furniture and the activity space were far better than what Ronald had rented before.
hostel.
But after just admiring it for a few seconds, Ronald noticed a problem.
There are obvious signs of El's activity in the room, but that super creature is nowhere to be seen now!
glutinous rice
Ronald was alert and immediately turned to look at Costart:
"Costat, where is that guy Il?"
The maid immediately responded:
"Sir, she performed very dazzlingly at the banquet last night and was very popular among the nobles of Nicos. So this morning, she was invited to the mansion by a local nobleman and will not come back until the banquet in the evening."
"..."
After hearing this, Ronald was silent for a few seconds, and then cautiously continued to ask:
"That guy Yier, didn't he use any special means?"
The worry in Ronald's heart was very real.
In this world where spells exist, people will be wary of spell casters and will also specialize in preventing spells from harming themselves. Judging from the information Ronald saw in Springs, this aspect is actually quite developed.
But this guy El is different!
This is a super life form that evolved under the influence of the rampage of the "Organic Encyclopedia". El can sense magic and make use of it, but she can also completely break away from the magic system and do some purely biological tricks.
And this kind of thing...
Let alone defense, the casters, who knew nothing about it, even found it difficult to detect Il's movements, not to mention Il's own strength was beyond the standard level.
After he asked, Costat immediately made a confident assurance, and then explained the situation:
"Sir, I am always supervising El!"
"The reason why she is so popular is that she learns human social interactions very quickly. In addition, she releases some pheromones at most as an aid. Il definitely does not secretly interfere or control humans excessively, as you fear."
"..."
Ronald's eyes went dark for a moment.
Although Kostat seemed to have no problem when he said it, the words "releasing some pheromones" really made people feel uneasy.
Perhaps, my one-week vacation really should be over.
Ronald had a vague plan in mind.
Since I took Costate and Il to join this voyage, as the instigator, I should still take responsibility in these aspects. At least Il should not be allowed to be so 'casual' anymore.
After that, I will continue to deal with all kinds of troubles.
But I had to bite the bullet and get rid of them all, and it was over.
At that moment, Ronald did not hesitate and sensed it with the fragment of Il's soul in his hand——
Feeling happy, relaxed and curious.
There is really no dangerous feeling like cruelty or killing.
"call--"
Ronald immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After figuring out that this guy really didn't do anything extraordinary, he confirmed to Costart again:
"Anyway, El will definitely come to the banquet tonight, right?"
Costart replied seriously:
"Yes, sir, she promised me that herself."
"If El doesn't come tonight, I will personally bring her to you, and then you will punish me again..."
Bang bang bang——
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
A somewhat respectful voice immediately sounded outside the door:
"Sir, the banquet is about to start. Do you need any help here such as providing a dress or introducing me in advance?"
