Actually, I Was The Real One
Chapter 37
After much thought, he asked a few questions that nobles living in the capital city – the latest trends, new artists, and social scandals would know.
Every time he did that, Keira looked very confused.
'Is he acting?'
However, she looked so original that it was hard to think of her as acting.
He also reminded himself that he could not only improve his acting skills in an instant after that performance some time ago. When he praised the restaurant, he sounded like he was reading directly from a book.
'Could you have visited a fancy restaurant in the capital but pretended not to visit it for my honor?'
It was Keira's attitude that added confidence to the illusion.
With sparkling eyes, he asked.
Keira: "How do the nobles in the capital support artists?"
He looks very curious.
Any aristocrat who had the money to set aside supported artists as a way to show off their wealth.
It was impossible for a noble who possessed sufficient wealth to live in the capital to not have artists to sponsor.
"I may be wrong."
Aiden reassured himself and answered Keira.
Aiden: “Is there a special way? Nobles only help artists continue their artistic endeavors without worrying about finances. ”
In return, if nobles get bored, they can call artists to perform.
Keyra nodded her head.
Keira: "So it's the duty of nobility."
Aiden: “Tapat.”
These days, however, it has become a means to show off the family's wealth, but Aiden doesn't add to that.
He told the story of the beautiful life of the nobles of the capital as if to show off. Every time he did, Keira always seemed fascinated by his stories.
Aiden mostly speaks, and Keira ooh-ed and ahh-ed.
It was enough to think that he reacted that way because he was from the countryside.
Keira, who had been listening to the story for a long time, hesitated and opened her mouth.
Keyra: “Eh..”
Aiden: "Is there anything you want to say?"
Keira: “Front..”
Aiden: “Hmm?”
Keira: "" I wonder if you can make time for me ..."
Aiden had met many women, but he had never met a noble woman who asked him out on a date.
Usually, they are too embarrassed to ask first.
Either way, it's funny.
Trouble is…
Aiden: “Sorry. I had an engagement earlier that night. ”
Keyra: “Ah..”
Next Wednesday is another day to take care of the fish in the fish market.
'Because I was supposed to attend the Marquis' party.'
Not knowing that she was thinking about another woman, Keira felt ashamed.
Since Aiden is not around, he does not have a potential partner.
He could ask one of the knights or go alone.
Aiden: “I'm worried it's a reading party with old friends. I hope we get a chance next time.”
Aiden made excuses because he couldn't say exactly that he was attending a dance with another woman.
Keira: "If you've had an engagement before, we can't hold it."
Aiden: "Yes, but I'm sure we'll see each other soon."
“…!”
Those words made Keira instantly blush.
Aiden realized that because he had no experience with men.
Aiden: "Yes, next time for sure."
Keira nodded her head with a confused expression.
Keira: “Then, do you have a minute after you finish eating?”
Aiden: “Of course. Do you have a place in mind? ”
Aiden thought it would be better if they could go somewhere where they could be alone.
Keira: "I want to get on a plane and look around the capital."
Aiden misunderstood that it was something that a noble from the countryside had wanted to do that had just traveled to the capital.
Aircraft flying over the city are a specialty in the capital. No wonder if there are people who fantasize about flying transportation in the air.
'Once you get it, the illusion of it being magical will disappear.'
Airships have long been a tourist attraction due to their low efficiency as a means of transportation, but airships were originally made for the purpose of public transportation.
In other words, the facilities are uncomfortable, cramped, and dirty.
Worse, it was so jarring that he often got drunk on travel.
"I don't want to drive it."
Aiden: “Ha ha, the airship has a fixed time schedule. After all, the station is far away, so it is rather..”.
Keyra: “Nothing. I told them to pick us up. ”
Aiden: “...Sorry?”
For a moment, Aiden wondered if he had misheard her say airship instead of carriage.
Aiden: "Haha, you're funny too."
Keira: “I'm not kidding. I actually rented one for the day.”
“…”
Before Aiden could ask if he was talking about the train, he heard a crackling sound outside.
'The voice is ...'
Keira: "Ah, it must have come a little earlier."
Aiden: "Eh, uh ..."
Keira: “The voice might make others uncomfortable, as well?”
Aiden: ""No, wait a minute, that's ..."
Confused, Aiden reluctantly got up from his seat.
Even the staff was so shocked that they forgot to drive the guests away.
The eyes of those people were all focused outside the window where the sound was coming from.
"Wow, I've never seen a plane that low!"
"The movement is exposing sexual violence in order to eliminate it."
"What the hell is going on? Is it broken? ”
airship? Is it really an airship?
An airship hangs a net ladder next to a towering square clock tower.
Oh God.
Aiden froze like a statue.
Meanwhile, Keira said timidly.
Keira: “I thought the trip to the station would take a long time because of the long distance, so I called him.”
“…”
Aiden doesn't know what to show.
......................
Joseph and his group settled near the window of the cafe opposite the restaurant.
It's easy to see that woman from here.
They were spying on the building opposite with drinks in hand. To be exact, it wasn't 'them' but 'two of them.'
“...I don't think this is true.”
It was less crowded than the square, but people were still staring.
Zeke whispering.
Zeke: “All other guests are looking this way, right? Aren't you ashamed?”
"It's to protect the people you care about, so what's embarrassing you about?"
His answer was so convinced that Zeke thought that shame was wrong, but he soon came to his senses and denied it.
Zeke: “In what way do we protect noonim? We were just watching him from afar!”
"If the snake tries to do something terrible, we'll chase after it and beat it half to death?"
Zeke: "Do you think my sister would be beaten up by such an ugly man?"
Joseph: “You never know. If he's using drugs.”.
joseph said, recalling the crime he had read about in the paper a while back.
Next to him, Arthur and Raina whispered, "you're overreacting," but he ignored them.
One must not neglect their duty as knights of the House of Parvis.
He brought the opera glasses closer.
He could see the woman smiling happily through the window. He was sure if he stood close he would hear him laugh.
Joseph had been loyal to the Parvis family for quite a long time, but he had never seen him laugh so freely.
Arthur mumbled slowly.
Arthur: "Wow, I've never seen that woman smile like that before."
Reina: “I also..”
“…”
Somehow, the desire to kill the snake seemed to grow.
"We have to take care of our women."
There are people who have bad relationships, and then their lives get messed up.
So no, they don't do this out of pure selfishness. It doesn't matter if it's bothered by the thought of possibly living with that handsome bastard.
It was then that they heard a voice that could not be ignored.
Sensing the mana wave, Zeke was the first to react.
Zeke: "the: "... What's up now?"
