Chapter 411: Origin (2)
I looked bewildered as I stared at the middle-aged man who had appeared without a trace.
I hadn’t even dreamed that he had approached so close behind me, almost like an assassin.
It wasn’t just because Mari and I were too caught up in our conversation to notice, but mainly because the middle-aged man in front of us hadn’t made a single sound.
And he wasn’t alone.
Standing proudly beside him was a knight with a heavy and imposing presence.
Although he was dressed in plain clothes rather than armor, the sword strapped to his waist made it clear that he was a bodyguard.
“How is it?”
“Uh…”
I blankly stared at the middle-aged man who had just made what seemed like a joke but wasn’t quite a joke, all while wearing a gentle smile.
