So, I got the nonalcoholic beverage as planned and went back to Askan.
The place where Askan was, was closer than I thought, it seemed as if he might have witnessed the scene where I had just chastised the nobles.
There was no need to hide my actions, so I handed over one of the two drinks I brought without a word.
Askan seemed not to have expected to have a drink of his own, but soon he bowed his head in gratitude and took the cup.
Upon taking a sip, the pretty colored beverage was cool and sweet. Thanks to it, I felt a little relief from the discomfort earlier.
“Are you really going to rip their mouths?”
It was an unexpected question. I thought Askan would pretend not to have seen the scene earlier.
I didn’t know why he was curious, but there was no reason to avoid the question.
“I can’t.”
“So it was a lie?”
“More of a warning than a lie.”
I looked around at the surrounding nobles.
At a glance, the buzzing from earlier had subsided quite a lot. They were all watching me, not daring to speak easily.
“I expressed a little aggressively that I won’t watch any longer. Some people can’t understand unless you speak harshly.”
“……I see.”
Only then did Askan nod his head as if he understood.
It was strange why he, who usually seemed indifferent, was curious about this.
“Why? Because you thought I might really rip their mouths?”
“It seemed possible if it were you.”
I was dumbfounded at his bland response.
I wanted to argue that where did I look like such a person, but I couldn’t help but hold back as I remembered the bad temper I had shown until now.
‘Ugh, it makes me speechless.’
Suddenly, I looked around and saw noble young ladies looking this way. It didn’t seem like their faces were flushed because of me.
Following the gaze of the noble young ladies, I saw Askan.
Thinking about it, it was natural. Even when he was sly, he couldn’t hide his good looks, and now that he was fully dressed up, people couldn’t help but look at him.
Somehow, I felt proud watching him.
“Askan.”
At my call, Askan’s deep golden eyes turned to me.
“Look over there. The young ladies standing there seem to be interested in you?”
He glanced in the direction I was gesturing, then soon moved aside so he wouldn’t be seen from there.
I couldn’t help but be surprised by his unexpected behavior.
“What, are you shy?”
“No. It’s uncomfortable.”
Isn’t this the age when you’re interested in the opposite sex?
I was curious. So I didn’t hide my curiosity and asked.
“What’s uncomfortable? Because of your status?”
This place was a royal ball. All the young ladies who attended here were nobles, so it could have been burdensome for Askan, a slave.
But it’s not that they’re going to have a deep relationship with them, there was no problem in simply enjoying being popular.
Regardless of East and West, humans are attracted to beautiful things.
Askan had outstanding looks more than anyone, so he could have enjoyed people’s gazes looking at him.
“I just don’t like it. The look of them expecting something from me. I can’t do anything, and I don’t want to.”
Having observed Askan all this while, I knew.
He really doesn’t like this.
I summarized him in one word.
“You’re a hard type to date.”
“I’m not interested in that.”
“Aye, people who say that are the ones who date first.”
At my joke, Askan looked at me with a face full of things to say, but didn’t open his mouth anymore.
I thought it would be nice if he could treat me more comfortably whenever this happened, but I didn’t know if that was my greed.
“Well, if you don’t like it here, let’s go outside.”
As I first moved quickly, Askan followed me and asked.
“Even if I do, shouldn’t you be staying here?”
“Me?”
The royal ball wasn’t just filled with gossiping nobles or beautiful young ladies. Elegantly dressed gentlemen gathered in threes and fives, chatting.
In a word, this was a social place where you could meet a variety of nobles from the Arwen Empire.
Lower nobles wanted to get an invitation to the ball by any means because they wanted to establish a good relationship with many counterparts here.
If I didn’t mingle with anyone like now and went outside, it would be no different from throwing away that opportunity.
But I knew that many men were focusing on one place as if they had made a promise.
It was where Noksia was having a conversation with a smile.
“I’m fine. I have no intention of stealing my sister’s men.”
I don’t know about the original Tanashia, but I had no intention of getting involved in that mess.
Askan didn’t ask any more. He seemed to understand what I meant.
As I stepped outside with Askan, a beautifully decorated garden came into view.
The scenery during the bright sunny day was nice, but there was something charming about the natural scenery at night like now.
I strolled slowly through the garden decorated with dim lights. When I stopped at a scenic spot and drank a beverage with Askan, a calm music sound flowed from the bustling banquet hall inside.
