Well, I still dont know your naIve asked for it before, but youve never answered . Could you tell
now? I spoke carefully so as to not hurt his feelings, but he luckily didnt seem offended by what I said. A brief silence ensued before he opened his mouth.
Its Max.
Max. If I were to find fault with this na, it would be that it was a little close to the crown princes na. Nevertheless, its aning wasnt bad. Thats a good na. Your parents mustve wanted you to beco a great person, I said.
He stared at
for a while in response. Yeah, he finally said. I thought he was going to look away from
again like he did before, but he continued to hold my gaze with his red, sunset-hued eyes. I felt strange for so reason and decided to change the subject.
Hey, about
He interrupted . Didnt we just decide to call each other by our nas?
I smiled awkwardly because his words had caught
off guard. We did, Max. A soft smile appeared on his face when I said his na. I stared at him for a while before deciding to get down to business. Why dont we write out an official contract? At the word contract, he scrunched his face at once and glared at .
A contract? Is it necessary to write such a thing? I clearly rember telling you that I didnt want to be compensated for this, he said. I sighed in response.What did my father teach him, if not common sense? What if he gets scamd by soone?As I sighed, I assud the position of an instructor to help this pure, innocent man in front of .
All contracts must be officially written out. If you dont do that, people will think youre a pushover and take advantage of you. What I an is, they will refuse to compensate you or do bad things in your na. Although I could tell he was listening to , he was looking at
with a clueless expression.Ugh, should I explain it to him again?I sighed and contemplated whether I should use simpler words so he could understand . At that mont, he spoke in a sincere voice filled with conviction.
But you wont do that to .
His words made
feel strange.Until now, no one has ever trusted I had been living my role as a villainess, so it was natural for everyone to hate . No one had ever confided in
before either, not even my father. Please trust , Jubelian had told him in the novel, but he rely ignored her pleas and threw her to prison. However, the mans red eyes, which were focused on , didnt reveal a hint of doubt. A strange feeling arose within , stirring the lower part of my heart.Ah, this isnt the ti to zone out.When I barely managed to compose myself, I opened my mouth.
Scams are so effective because theyre usually done by people you trust!
Is that so?
Yes, thats why no matter how close you are with soone, you shouldnt hold them accountable for their words but write an official contract. Okay?
Alright. He sighed and nodded at my continuous nagging. His obedient response only made
beco more worried.This guy is really naive and ignorant of worldly affairs will he be able to handle this unkind reality?
I had originally been worried about his fearso personability, but now I was worried about his carelessness and ignorance. After mulling over my concerns for a while, I made a promise to myself.Since were in a contractual relationship, I will teach him a lot of things.I actually felt bad that he had refused compensation, so I would repay the favor by teaching him life lessons.
Before we write the contract, lets co to terms about the most important thing.
And whats that?
When he prompted , I told him sothing I had been thinking about for a while. Geraldine is the leader of the escort knights, and based on his personality, he will definitely interrogate us on how weve t. We cant tell him the truth, so we should make up a story we both agree on.
AhI see. Even he couldnt deny my reasoning, knowing that our first eting involved trespassing, threats, and a sword.
So, I was thinking How about this story? I told him a scenario I had been thinking about for a while, but he quickly raised his voice.
What? I absolutely hate it!
I looked at him and saw that he clearly loathed my sche. Do you have anything better then? I asked with a stern expression.
Cant we switch the roles? What if Im the one who
I cut him off. No, that wont make sense. You know Im always surrounded by knights. I studied the man who was now deep in thought, then took his hands and held them tightly. It might be daunting now, but it wont an anything later. If its still too difficult for you, you can just stand next to
and let
take the lead.
As I coaxed him, he nodded with a blank expression. Alright.
