Isn’t that question a bit cheap? Although a living conscience pricked at her heart, Riga lied firmly.
“Yeah.”
If a passerby had heard, they would have said that woman was crazy. Hayden’s facial features were idealistically perfect. Plus, as someone who had seen him undressed, there was nothing lacking in his body.
“So, was it really that bad with me?”
It was tremendous.
“It was just a onenight thing. I don’t attach meaning to a fleeting connection.”
No, surely she would never forget. Where else in Rustica Gennes’s life would there be such a wellbuilt and handsome man?
She had felt another warmth moving within the same house for the first time in a long while, which made it all the more intense, but she had to cut it off. She wasn’t in a position to live with someone.
Hayden looked at her, his long and numerous eyelashes cast down.
“What if we meet again?”
“We probably won’t, but if we do, ignore me.”
But he did not respond to those words and only smiled.
“If that’s your wish, I will leave for now. Take care, and see you soon.”
Huh? Isn’t it time to pack up and leave? Riga wondered, approaching him, but in the blink of an eye, the tall man had vanished without a trace.
“Huh?”
Riga looked around. Hayden was nowhere to be seen.
[Star icon]Silence returned to the cabin.
There was no sign that the injured person had stayed there for a moment. Hayden had cleaned up neatly after himself, even leaving the money for the bear’s skin before disappearing in the blink of an eye.
‘This doesn’t make sense.’
That enigmatic handsome man had vanished instantly without a signal. No matter how much she searched the nearby area, she couldn’t find him.
‘He was a magician. A highlevel magician who could use teleportation magic.’
But for such a magician to be overpowered by two bears, it didn’t make sense. Did he intentionally get injured?
Riga looked through her meager possessions for any ill thoughts but, as expected, nothing was missing. In the end, all that remained was a pouch of gold coins received from the Lord.
“What is he up to, that guy……?”
Should she go back to the forest where he had disappeared? No, it’s pointless. He had said he was leaving, so what’s the point of looking for him now?
Her mutterings vanished into the silent cabin, where no sound could be heard. Only silence lingered again.
Riga bowed her head. This was the solitude she would have to bear all her life. She would hear the sound of people passing by the thin walls of the cabin, perhaps unnecessarily excited by the approaching footsteps.
Wait, the approaching footsteps?
“Ah, seriously, it looks quite remarkable.”
It was so quiet that she could clearly hear the mumbling voice outside, looking at the cabin.
Remembering whose voice it was, Riga immediately and silently grasped her sword. If someone had seen her, they would have been awed, even disturbed, by how swift and silent she was.
The owner of the voice was a man. He carelessly climbed the roughly hewn wooden stairs all at once and banged on the door.
“Imperial Knight Rustica Gennes of the Kaleta Empire, come out and receive the imperial command!”
What nonsense is this? Ru frowned and peered out through a window no larger than the palm of her hand. However, it seemed that the visitor was alone; no other people were in sight.
“Russticcaa. I know you’re in there, you drunkard. Stop sleeping and come out.”
The voice, annoyingly banging on the door and calling her name at length, was full of irritation.
Ru thought for a moment, then hid her sword, hastily mussed her hair, and loosely wrapped a blanket around her body.
Anyone who saw her would think she had just woken up from a drunken stupor and smelled of the most foul alcohol. She roughly splashed some liquor on herself and hugged a bottle of it. Her appearance was a perfect match for the person furiously pounding on the door outside.
The door opened.
“Oh my…….”
Ru slightly opened the door, being careful not to reveal her cleanly organized interior, which was very uncharacteristic of a drunkard, and then closed it behind her.
She deliberately frowned and looked down, seeing a pair of wellpolished boots. This person was definitely not a local.
“Oh my, really, oh my!”
She slowly raised her gaze to confirm a familiar face. The man looking down at her with an expression of near explosion was about half a head shorter than Hayden. Well, Hayden was exceptionally tall.
Furthermore, what to say about his face? Though not as goodlooking as Hayden, he had a remarkably clean face. Brown hair and sorrowful brown eyes. A typical handsome man from the capital of the Kaleta Empire, Katat.
“Why are you here?”
To Sir Aldwin Rochester, a knight of the Kaleta Imperial Knights, Ru asked nonchalantly, pretending to be hoarse. Aldwin, in turn, was so flushed that he couldn’t say more.
Leaning against a doorpost, Ru sighed as she looked at her old colleague.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
