Chapter 37 Worry.
In the quiet and clattering room, Jin and his family slowly savoured their breakfast. The family was accompanied by two guests who remained in the state, Iris and Nina, who were fidgeting about the dining etiquette.
Although Marina and Ryan had informed them not to mind their manners, being surrounded by strangers and basically having a meal with some aristocrats put them on edge, especially the little girl, who was still oblivious to how the world worked.
Jin stabbed his fork into the omelette and put it into his mouth, clearly showing his brazen manners. However, no one was open to talking, as Ryan and Marina were also a bit disturbed by the whole etiquette thing.
"Jin, what are your plans for the day?". Marina put down the fork in hand and glanced at her son.
"I think I will be checking the Adventure guild and see if there is a quest I could take". Jin wiped his mouth, then took a deep gulp of water to cleanse his palate.
"Don't exert yourself; you just awoke from your bed yesterday".
"Hmph, say the man who challenged Jin into an intense duel and yet lost this morning." Marina snorted, further dampening the mood in the room.
Ryan's hand stopped inches away from his lips. He glanced at his side and saw his wife, body trembling and giggling. His hand sweated, and he forced his cramped lips to smile.
"What are you talking about?".
"Don't play dumb. Earlier, when Irena and I planned to ask you guys to come to the dining room, I saw your wooden sword snapped with the tips of Jin's sword on your throat! ...Pfft, a hahaha... "
Marina burst into laughter, while Ryan's face stiffened. Life seemed to slip out of his mouth, asking for redemption for his earlier actions. Even when he was suffering enough, Marina, fearless as a tyrannical queen, smiled widely and delivered another blow to him.
