As Bart, heading toward the main building, spotted a familiar servant.
‘A maid who used to be with the young miss!’
Her name was Delma, right? If she was that maid, she might know where the young miss was!
I lightly retraced my steps and followed her again. However, upon closer inspection, I noticed a unfamiliar noble walking ahead of Delma.
‘Hmm, come to think of it, wasn’t today the young miss’s banquet?’
I vaguely remembered hearing about hosting a banquet and inviting the nobles from the capital.
If that’s the case, could the young miss be around the banquet venue? But why is that noble taking the young miss’s maid with him?
The noble who arrived at the back of the detached house took Delma to a secluded place with few people.
I thought about passing by, but I was curious after all. Unable to resist his curiosity, Bart briskly moved his steps.
“Why are you doing this, sir!”
“Didn’t this wench dirty my clothes! I demand compensation for that!”
“P-Please don’t do this!”
The scream of the maid was heard at that moment. Sensing danger instinctively, Bart quickened his pace.
He soon arrived at the back of the detached house. The first scene he saw was the noble’s hand on the maid’s shoulder.
‘That scoundrel!’
What kind of place was this that he dared to do such a disgraceful act! Bart, his eyes burning with anger, shouted aloud.
“Stop right now…!”
“Kyaah! Don’t do this!”
Bart’s words were ruthlessly cut off by the maid’s threatening voice.
Delma grabbed the noble’s arm, assuming a stable posture, and cast a perfect body slam. The noble, unable to overcome that strength, floated in the air.
“Kwack!”
The noble’s body fell to the ground with his waist stuck in the same position, trembling in pain.
However, Bart didn’t see what condition the noble was in.
He was only focused on Delma, who, after knocking down the noble, looked at him with a slender voice.
“That’s why! I told you not to do such things…!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️
[Whoa, whoa!]Eunbam marveled at Delma’s perfect fighting skills, which were rarely seen. I was also astonished.
‘Delma, you’re really good at fighting!’
In fact, when Asilwood Jajak raised his hand to Delma’s shoulder, I was about to attack him with a real rock.
But before I could lift my foot, Delma swung him perfectly to the ground.
I really had no chance to interfere.
“Argh, how dare you! Wench! What are you…!”
Asilwood Jajak, supporting his waist with one arm, barely managed to get up.
I wanted to applaud Delma for her body-slamming technique, even though she was clearly inferior in fighting skills.
“I won’t let it go. I will expose every single thing you did to me…!”
It seemed like he still hadn’t fully recovered his senses. Although he was clearly outmatched in terms of fighting skills by Delma, I couldn’t completely let my guard down.
‘A cornered mouse may bite the cat.’
That was something Dad used to tell me often.
I used to think Dad was just overly worried, but now, looking at the situation, I vaguely understood the meaning behind his words.
“D-Don’t come any closer!”
“You wench, how dare you!”
Jajak approached Delma limping, holding his waist with one hand.
“Stop it!”
At that moment, a menacing voice was heard from one side. Without needing to see who it was, I recognized the owner of that voice.
‘Is it Bart?’
“What are you again!”
“I’m Bart from the Leviche First Knights. This maid is the young miss’s maid. What business do you have with her?”
“L-Leviche Knights?”
Comparing Bart and Jajak, it was clear that Bart had a much better physique. Realizing this, Asilwood Jajak took a few steps back.
It was truly despicable and pathetic how one could appear endlessly weaker in front of someone who seemed stronger.
“Miss Delma, come over here.”
“Ah, yes!”
Bart cautiously hid Delma behind his back. Asilwood Jajak’s face crumpled when he saw the two of them.
“Alright, I’ll go!”
Asilwood Jajak left without looking back. Despite wanting to run away quickly, it seemed he couldn’t, probably due to the strain on his waist.
‘He won’t be able to approach the merchants since he’s injured.’
Now, there seemed to be no need to follow him. Still, just in case, I asked Eunbam.
“Follow that noble and let me know where he’s going.”
[Barehanded?]“One star will do.”
[Hmm.]“…I’ll give you the magical stone that the Viscount gave me, how about that?”
[Okay!]The delighted Eunbam followed behind Jajak. I only had one magical stone left, and I cherished it.
‘Anyway, he has sharp eyes.’
Even if Eunbam wanted to see, he always wished it was something I hesitated to give.
Still, there was no choice. I needed to make sure the swindler stopped swindling.
‘Is Delma okay?’
She seemed fine at a glance, but just to be sure, I approached Delma and took her to the physician to be shown.
“Thank you for helping. May I know your name?”
“Ah! Y-yes, yes! I’m Bart. You can call me Bart! Anyway, are you hurt anywhere?”
Delma and Bart were engaged in a conversation.
“Delma!”
“Oops! Ah, miss!”
“Oh my!”
When I called Delma loudly, Bart and Delma, startled, separated, looking surprised.
‘Why are those two acting like that?’
