I added with a little self-confidence.
“Well……maybe there is. If you meet that person, you don’t have to worry about eating anymore. You can choose only what you want to eat for your life.”
Larissa’s husband must be a rich man. Not just a normal rich man, but a tremendously rich man.
And he also had titles, so his self-esteem had to be high as well.
‘He also shouldn’t be needing a few diamond grains.’
So he wouldn’t have to beat his wife.
“And that person was different from our family, who has no title……”
Huh? As I talked, the side of my face was very itchy for some reason.
I stopped talking and looked back.
The men sitting at the table next to me were staring at me.
As soon as they made eye contact with me, they looked at their plates and started eating again as if nothing had happened.
But in that short moment, I could see the other person’s face.
‘Oh, you’re so handsome……! Are you a statue?’
They were all messy as if rolling on the ground.
However, the man’s appearance in the corner was not covered by his dirty outfit.
‘If a statue gets dirty, it’s still a statue.’
Through the dust-covered in the face, a good appearance is seen.
The features were neat and the line was thick, but there was an intense and thrilling atmosphere somewhere.
Ah, I really don’t want to say this, but I am not immune to intolerable appearances.
Thanks to the blood of a fairy, I have a beauty that is hard to find a person to compare myself with, and my brother Villain is good-looking too.
It wasn’t easy to find the appearance that fits my eyes because the faces I always see were like that.
But that man looks good in my eyes!
Even though he was covered in dirt.
Thanks to this, I forgot what I was talking about for a while.
‘By the way, is it true that we just made eye contact?’
Why did you look at me?
I tried to ask him what he saw, then I changed my mind and just turned my gaze.
At that moment, someone’s inner voice was heard.
– This crazy bit*h……
I flinched my shoulders and looked back at the men’s table.
The two of them just ate quietly.
At that time, an inner voice was heard again.
– Damn it, where did these ungrateful things go! Just wait till I catch you two……!
It wasn’t an inner voice coming from inside the restaurant.
It was an inner voice I’ve ever heard.
It was Igor.
‘Why is he so fast?’
My blood seemed to go out of my body.
Hearing Igor’s inner voice meant he was not far away.
Not surprisingly, urgent footsteps were heard outside the door.
‘What should I do?’
I couldn’t escape through the door.
The door to the kitchen is too far.
There was no time to think.
“Larissa, come here!”
I grabbed Larissa and hid under the table.
I hugged Larissa tightly, hoping the dirty tablecloth would cover us.
At the same time as we hid under the table, the bell on the door rang.
The sound of footsteps came into the restaurant.
It seems to be trampling my heart every step of the way.
The men at the table next to us have seen all of us like this.
But there was no other corner to run away from.
“Welcome! Please wait a minute!”
In the kitchen, I heard a rattle and shouts all in a hurry.
It seemed that the woman couldn’t come out now since she was busy because of the dishes I ordered.
“The gentlemen there.”
It was a rough man’s voice.
That familiar voice belongs to Igor.
He was gasping for breath as if running in a hurry.
“Have you ever seen two girls? One is thirteen years old and the other is about seventeen. The little one is this tall with silver hair, and the eldest one is blonde, they are my daughters. The two went missing together.”
My heart seems to be popping out of my chest.
Larissa’s body began to tremble.
Just listening to her father’s voice makes her body tremble reflexively.
I held my breath and energized my arm holding Larissa.
“Especially the little one…… her life is at risk if she doesn’t take the medicine the doctor prescribes. I have to find her as soon as possible.”
Prescription medicines? It was the first time I heard it.
I looked at Larissa.
Larissa shook her head.
It is a lie.
Igor’s voice sounded quite pathetic.
I quickly started to think about what to do.
Judging by the footsteps, Igor will probably be alone.
But even so, he is an adult man.
‘He can’t be beaten by his physique, what should I do?’
At least can Larissa get some time to run alone?
You’re not going to kill me just because I set Larissa free, are you?
‘No, he might really kill me.’
When you see diamond mines flee before your eyes, there is no way you will let me live.
Even if Larissa escaped safely like that, there was no way she could survive alone from then on.
Because she’s been trapped all her life.
I laughed in vain.
‘If Igor lifted the tablecloth, it would be better to shout that what he said was all a lie and shout for help to the people around.’
If I take a handful of jewelry out of my bag and throw it at the messy-handsome men over there, maybe they will help us.
Because few people stay sane in front of money.
Sorry to Larissa, but it might have worked a little more if I rolled up her sleeves to show signs of abuse and complained that he was trying to beat us and kill us.
‘Even people who don’t move with money can move ethically.’
I reached out and pulled the bag of trinkets and jewelry closer.
“If it’s such girls……”
“I haven’t seen them.”
Two voices a little high and low were heard at the same time.
Silence flowed for a while.
The lower voice said firmly once again.
“I haven’t seen them, we are the only ones here.”
“Have you ever seen them outside this restaurant? People say they’ve come this way. Think carefully. Haven’t you really seen them?” Igor asked persistently.
The man replied the same as before, “I’m sorry for that. But I didn’t see them.”
The man’s answer sounded very convincing.
‘Why are you helping us?’
Thanks but-
I relaxed a little and gently swept Larissa’s back.
It was then. The smell of food blew up.
The smell of roast chicken and potatoes.
“Oh?”
There was a voice of a woman that sounded confused.
I held my breath.
The dish we ordered just came out.
But the customers who ordered the food disappeared, and the new customer seemed to be having a quarrel with other customers rather than sitting down.
‘It’s over.’
I closed my eyes tightly.
“Would you like to bring it here?”
At that time, the other man spoke to the woman and said in a hard tone.
“Oh, it’s finally out, it was hard to wait. Here, put it next to my plate.”
“Yes?”
“What are you doing without bringing it?”
Soon there was a clink of plates.
The owner brought the food to the men’s table.
“Isn’t there already a dish on the gentlemen’s table?”
Igor made a suspicious voice. Another man kicked his tongue.
“Hey, look at our size. We placed an additional order because we wouldn’t fill up with a single serving.”
“Yes……these people ordered more food.”
The woman’s voice struck a quick match. A low voice followed.
“Instead of wasting time here now, why don’t you go out to find your daughters quickly?”
It was a lowly threatening tone.
“I see…… If you see my daughters later, please contact me right away. This is Igor from the Blick family from the North.”
Igor left the men and went out.
As the footsteps were no longer heard, the voice of a heavy man continued.
“Ladies, you can come out now.”
Larissa was still trembling.
As I patted her back, she held the hem of my dress with one hand.
“It’s okay now.”
After whispering a little, I looked outside by slightly lifting the tablecloth.
Then I slowly went out under the table.
The two men sitting on the other side and the restaurant owner standing next to them looked at me at the same time.
The handsome man opened his mouth,
