His shouts had rendered me speechless. I bit my lips and thought for a moment. He does have a point. If itâs still in the past, weâre both a Captain, had many connections and backer, and possessed remarkable abilities, but I was more attractive, so itâs my win. But, all Iâve got now is just my good appearance, and in other aspects Iâm way too far behind compared to him. Despite the fact Iâm the eldest daughter of a Countâs family, Iâve practically zero connection to any powerhouse. At least, my face can be considered as beautiful, but it canât be said to be the most beautiful. No matter how unreconciled I am right now⊠itâs no doubt Captain Jullius had suffered loss. This is truly unfair! Arghh damn it!!\n\nIf itâs in the past, many people would say I was the one who suffered losses!\n\nNow I only have Sofia at my side. Oh right, Sofia said that I was the one who was in disadvantageous position!\n\nâTruthfully, Captain Jullius also wonât make a good husband.â\n\nSofia said so before that Captain Jullius was a weird person.\n\nHearing my words, Clauenâs red eyes coldly glared at me.\n\nâWhat do you mean? Thereâs nothing wrong with Captain!â\n\nâErmmâŠthatâŠâ\n\nWhat else did Sofia mention about Captain Jullius?\n\nâFirst, thereâre many bad rumors about him.â\n\nâThose are groundless rumors! They are completely nonsense!â\n\nâAnd⊠oh, right! Captain Jullius gave me a food he had already eaten! Thatâs really presumptuous!â\n\nâŠ, forgive me, Captain Jullius. But, half of the reasons whatâs happening right now is caused by your own subordinate.\n\nClauen was shocked when I said Captain Jullius gave me his already eaten food.\n\nââŠ, Captain must be doing it out of goodwiââ\n\nâThatâs still a rude thing to do! That aside, Captain Jullius also gave a long sword to a lady. My maid even wondered whether if the Captain is an uncultured man!â\n
In fact, I chose that long sword myself. Captain Jullius, once again please forgive me. In the future, I would steal any valuable decoration inside the mansion and sell it then I would use the money to treat you for tasty foods. After I had told some of Captain Julliusâ rude behaviors, Clauen had a dejected face.\n\nââŠ, you can use long sword, canât you? At that time it looked like youâre proficient in wielding a sword when you use Calitus.â\n\nâI do know how to use a sword, but still, giving a long sword as a gift for a lady isnât a proper thing to do.â\n\nSofia told me so.\n\nClauen let out a long breath and could only facepalm.\n\nâFor all the things he had done in the past⊠I apologized on his behalf.â\n\nâItâs okay. It doesnât really matter to me.â\n\nOh my, it really hurts my conscience. Captain Jullius, I sincerely apologize to you. Iâve never thought all the things you did for me as something bad. I know Captain Jullius is a very good person! All of this happened because that brat Clauen acted like a mother hen. I should have beat him up at that time.\n\nWhile I was feeling bad because I had wronged Captain Jullius, Clauen had a gloomy expression on his face.\n\nâIn any case, what Captain Jullius had done before is nothing compared to your rude behavior just now.â\n\nâI did it because Iâm worried about Captââ\n\nâDid Captain Jullius ever ask you to concern yourself in this matter? Ah, forget it! I will just directly ask him! Captain!â\n\nâMiss Epheria! Wait!!â\n\nA leader should gave explanation for his subordinateâs mistake. I shoved that bratâs hands away when I was about leaving the room. I kicked the door open and quickly went to the next room.\n\nâCaptain Jullius! Your subordinateâs bullying me!â\n\nâCaptain! Thatâs not true!â\n\nWhat did he say? So this jerk wonât admit his fault?! I kicked him with my heels then looking around inside the room. As I saw it, Captain Jullius was not here. Was he still taking a bath? Where is he bathroâ\n\nâYou, woman! Where do you think youâre going to?!â\n\nThis damn brat hindered me from leaving the room with all his might. He completely blocked the door, so it would be hard to exit the room. His abilty was not to be underestimated either. I put both my hands on my waist and raised my chin when I was talking to him.\n\nâWhere else could it be other than going to the bathroom?â\n\nâCaptain is still bathing right now.â\n\nâI also know that.â\n\nâD-Do you understand what it means?⊠Heâs not wearing anything right now!â\n\nâIâm already used to see it. No need to be that shocked.â\n\nI used to see naked men in the past anyway! Uhm, but I only saw manâs lower part once and itâs in a bath house. At that time, the man screamed and ran away inside the bath house while being entirely naked. Besides, when someone was soaking inside the bathtub, didnât half of his body is inside the water? Then there isnât any problem, is it? The bratâs mouth was widely opened after he heard my words. In next moment, he was stuttering when he tried to say something to me. Itâs as if he was dumbstruck hearing my confession just now.\n\nâA-actually whenâ⊠Huh? No. Captain absolutely isnât that kind of person⊠didnât both of you just meet yesterdayâŠ? J-just now you were lying, right?!â\n\nâNope.â\n\nI really have seen lots of naked men in the past. Especially when itâs under a scorching sun in the summer, almost more than half of Holy Knight Squad didnât put on any shirts. Just because I didnât want to see it, it didnât mean I could avoid it either. After hearing my honest reply, Clauen covered his face with both his hands and acted like an actor in a tragic drama.\n\nâHow could this happenedâŠ?â\n\nWhatâs wrong with this brat? I knew for sure that itâs unacceptable if a man saw a naked woman. But it shouldnât be the case when itâs the other way around, right? My assistant never mentioned anything about that. Suddenly Clauen glared sharply with his bloodshot eyes and shouted.\n\nâAfter all is said and done, Miss must take responsibility for the Captain!â\n
ââŠ, ha? âŠ, take responsibility for what?â\n\nâMiss had âeatenâ our innocent Captain, of course you must take responsibility for him!â\n\nI donât understand what he said. When did I ever eat Captain Jullius? Hmm, so far I had only been treated for some food, but Iâve never âeatenâ him. Moreover, itâs illegal to consume humanâs flesh. Why did this brat in front of me accused me for having âeatenâ Captain Jullius? Has he gone mad?\n\nâI would appreciated it if you could explain in details.â\n\nâThatâŠ, Captain Julliusââ\n\nâWhat is it?â\n\nCaptain Jullius appeared right behind Clauen with an annoyed face as if he was trying to say, âI really want to sleep, quickly move away from the door!â\n\nThe brat was taken aback and moved his body to the side.\n\nWith voice full of grievances, I shouted to Captain Jullius, âThis bastard has been harrassing me while kept saying all kinds of nonsense!â\n\nLooks like heâs insane, so I need Captain Jullius as his superior to manage him.\n\nâI didnât!â\n\nThe brat immediately denied it. What did he say? He didnât? You kept saying all those nonsense when I didnât even do anything and you always nitpicked on me! Captain Jullius entered the room and back and forth looking at me and Clauen.\n\nâHarassed? What do you mean?â\n\nâI just had a little chat with Miss Epheria.â\n\nâThis bastard accused me that I had eaten Captain Jullius!â\n\nClauen jumped out on where he stood while screaming, âMiss Epheriaaaa!â\n\nAre you a rabbit? Why did you jump like that? His eyes were also similar to that of a rabbit.\n\nCaptain Jullius was pondering for a while after he heard my words and then tilted his head, looking confused.\n\nâAs far as I could remember, I havenât been eaten yet.â\n\nSee? I donât remember such thing happened either.\n\nFor some reason, Clauenâs face flushed red after he heard Captain Jullius words and he stammered to say something.\n\nâUgh, I mean⊠that⊠not the literal meaning of the usual âeatâ, but what I mean is⊠âhuggingâ. Ermm, do you get it now Captain?â\n\nâI remember that I did hugged her.â\n\nCaptain Jullius and me nodded in unison. He hugged me when he carried me to the armory backthen. But, how could this brat know about it? Did he secretly spy on us?\n\nâDid I do something wrong?â\n\nâItâs not that itâs a wrong thing, but⊠at least both of you should have known each other for a couple of months before doing it! Moreover, your engagement is still on talk, it hasnât been finalized yet.â\n\nâIs that so?â\n\nCaptain Jullius stared at me and then bowed a bit.\n\nâLooks like I have offended Miss at that time. Iâm sorry.â\n\nâItâs fine. I also want it too anyway.â\n\nAt that time, my feet was hurt because of the high heels. Besides, I realized that itâs quite comfortable to be carried by him.\n\nClauen stared on us,-who were apologizing and forgiving each other-, with deadpan looks as if his soul had left his body because of a shocking matter. We have admitted our wrongdoings, so what else did he unsatisfied with? This brat is really odd.
