Chapter 36

Pride
Dilliam seemed irritated because of the strange conversation. Sheila replied in an attempt to appease him.
“Of course, I am a little scared and bitter. But I can’t just run back home defeated here, and I can’t give up on my path to becoming a knight just because of something as trivial as this.”
There was also fear, but most of what was swirling inside Sheila was frustration.
The unreasonableness of having to be discriminated against just because one was a commoner. Discontentment that couldn’t be refuted because of the difference in status.
Perhaps because she was confronted with a feeling of animosity, she was being provocative without realizing it. Dilliam’s temples tightened again.
“Something as trivial as this, you say?”
“….. It was a slip of the tongue.”
It was a bad answer, but Sheila couldn’t think of anything else.
Frankly, part of her was annoyed as to why she should care so much about the perpetrator. It was ridiculous to keep talking to him while she was soaking wet.
