Chapter 16: Certain Accidents (2)
"I'm just going to say it, but remember the moment you hear it, there will be no turning back."
"It doesn't matter! If you did it over something trivial, you better be prepared!"
I already warned that old nobleman, but even so, that old aristocrat seemed to have too much faith in his son, so he replied to me in a determined tone.
"All right. If that's the case, then I will tell you everything that I heard."
It was unavoidable, either that old man or his son seemed to know me before because they both talked recklessly and tried to pick up the words easily.
Fortunately, Adilun was not here. It was a relief for me to know that she didn't have to hear these insults from them that I'm about to tell. But the one thing I was worried about was His Excellency, Duke Johannes Rodenov. If he hears this, he probably won't take it lightly.
"Yes. He has to live with the monster for the rest of his life, so it would be okay if we could see him dreaming at least once in the center."
It started with these words and I even laughed at the way he mocked me as if sympathizing with me and threw it in the old man's face. And on hearing these words, expressions of bewilderment appeared on his face.
"I've only heard of it, but who would have known she would look so terrifying? If it were me, I would have bitten my tongue and killed myself."
And as more words continued, His Highness Duke Johannes' face became stern.
"The horns on the top of her head were very attractive. It would be really cool if they were cut and polished. Oh, come to think of it, did I mention that Princess Esteban pays high prices for high-end handicrafts?"
And when I said the third line, ghat the old man's face turned white.
