A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood chapter 24

Episode 24 – Going out like a date, not a date

Me and Nina got out of the clothing store.

Since the payment was made in advance, all that was left was to wait for the clothes to be delivered to the dormitory.

By the way, Nina’s appearance was a bit strange.

A little trembling, like someone who is worried about something.

“Hey, boy? Aren’t you buying something too expensive? … ?”

“Hmm, Nina. I told you. Who was the person who had been by my side and took care of this and that?”

“… ….”

Nina seemed to be reacting that way because she felt like she was being given too much of an undeserved gift.

Really, she needs to know how much she is worth.

To me, Nina is the best, irreplaceable employee.

He has been helping me for over 10 years.

What’s the waste of buying such a person clothes that are worth a single gold coin?

I don’t know if it’s a person who can’t do his job properly, has accidents all the time, and is a nuisance here and there.

Nina was a professional at her job.

In addition, he was the best partner who knew my heart as an employer and prepared everything in advance.

Partners are not attached to ordinary colleagues.

Literally, she was talking to someone she trusted enough to entrust her everything to.

Nina was one of those people I could entrust everything to.

“For me, Nina is the best partner. So, I hope you know your worth properly. Do you understand?”

“Yes, yes… ….”

I gave Nina her pep talk and stroked her hair.

It might seem awkward stroking the hair of someone older than you.

As I stroke Nina’s hair, I remember the past.

‘Hello. Young master. My name is Nina, the handmaid who will assist the young master in the future.’

At that time, Nina was a lot taller than me.

“Now I am looking down at Nina.”

“Yes?”

“No. Nothing.”

Hmmm. I hope you didn’t hear her last words.

–

“… ….”

From noble mtl dot com.

Today I had an amazing experience.

Because you, the boy, gave me a present.

That, too, was a very expensive dress that cost one gold coin to make.

Even if I add up the prices of all the clothes I own, I can’t get enough of the dress you bought me today.

The wealth I’ve accumulated so far is less than one gold coin, but the young boy orders clothes worth one gold coin.

Is this the difference between nobles and commoners?

If you’re thinking about the future, you’d better save it… You are spending too much money.

However, I was very happy to receive a present from the Bocchan.

This is the first time I’ve ever received a gift from someone, and it’s the first time I’ve received a gift from someone I like.

“Hey, boy? Aren’t you buying something too expensive? … ?”

So I asked the young master.

I asked if he was buying something too expensive.

“Hmm, Nina. I told you. Who was the person who had been by my side and took care of this and that?”

You were talking about my service to you all this time.

It’s been about 10 years since I’ve served you by my side.

Ten years is a time when many things can happen.

I heard in the past that a noble with a bad temper would change his entourage more than ten times a year.

However, the young master has never changed his entourage for 10 years.

To be honest, I wondered why.

In the world, what part of me did the young master see and keep me by his side?

“Nina is the best partner for me. So, I hope you know your worth properly. Do you understand?”

Ah, the young master said that I was your partner.

Partner is a word that goes beyond a simple colleague relationship and refers to a person who is close to a companion.

Partnership is the highest compliment an employer can give to an employee.

I mean literally, you are the person I trust the most.

The boy… I didn’t know that they thought of me so special.

Partners…….

However, I have no intention of stopping in this relationship.

Why do you feel that you want to become something that goes beyond the simple relationship between an employer and an employee?

But…… No, I will think about this later.

Today is a happy day to receive a gift from the young master.

In addition, the boy is stroking my hair.

I would normally reject it, but for some reason I don’t want to refuse it today.

I want to feel your warm touch, even just a little bit.

“Now I am looking down at Nina.”

“Yes?”

“No. Nothing.”

No, boy, I heard you clearly.

When I was young, the boy who was shorter than me is now tall enough to look down on me.

What is this emotion that I feel in my heart whenever I see you growing up wonderfully?

It’s as if it’s because of me that the boy grew up wonderfully.

Is this the feeling of pride you only saw in books?

Speak respectfully to everyone, and although he is often misunderstood because of his looks, he is a really nice person.

Mr.

Until the day my life ends.

I will serve you by my side.

It is my mission to serve the young master.

I, who received grace from the young master.

No matter how hard things go.

I will not betray you, Bocchan.

My son-in-law.

I will live for you.

Because you are my everything.

–

Do you know the difference between a novice traveler and an experienced traveler?

It was figuring out when to take a break.

If you are traveling a relatively short distance that can be covered in a day or half a day, it is good to take minimal breaks.

However, when traveling a long distance that requires at least a few days, you must take a break at an appropriate time.

Thus, knowing the right time or not is the point that separates beginners from experts.

Those who have been traveling for a long time know their limits, and take measures to rest and move as long as possible before reaching the limit and fatigue builds up.

However, beginners take a break if they feel tired.

However, if you feel tired, your body is already exhausted.

In order to recover from this fatigue, you have no choice but to stay in one place for a longer time, which in turn results in an increase in travel time.

“That’s why it’s not bad to take breaks like this in between. Got it, Nina?”

“Yes, yes. Would you like to young master.”

Nina sighed at my answer and answered.

Well, it was natural for her to react like this.

Because there were several kinds of sliced cakes in front of the person who wanted to take a break.

“Brother. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, aren’t you tired?”

“What do you mean?”

“No, you ate that at the last store. Are these still going into your stomach?”

Nina looked like she wasn’t tired.

I’m sorry about Nina, but I don’t get tired of it.

Why?

How could I have endured the high-intensity training conducted by my father at Yeongju Castle?

It was just to eat this dessert.

From noble mtl dot com.

On days when she endured high-intensity training, her father allowed her to eat something particularly delicious, and the first thing she ate at that time was a cake made by Michelle.

She couldn’t compare the taste of the cake she ate then with any food she had ever eaten since she was born.

Fluffy bread soaked in sweet syrup, soft cream on top, and sour pickled fruit in between.

How could a person eat something so delicious just once?

The cake that Michelle handed over to me, who had been trained by her and was dirty with dust at the age of seven, was the delicacy of delicacies to me at that time.

‘Is it delicious, young boy?’

‘Yes! It’s really good, Michelle. Michelle is a genius How did she come up with this?’

‘Hohoho. Young master. This is a cake. It’s a kind of dessert.’

‘Dessert?’

At that time, I first learned about dessert.

Maybe it was the influence of that day that I began to enjoy dessert.

It was the best, then that cake.

“Whoops… ….”

“… ….”

Remembering the cake I ate at that time brings a smile to my face.

Nina is making an expression that she saw something she couldn’t see.

“Nina. Why don’t you order Nina too?”

“All right, young boy. I have to eat lunch later anyway, but if I eat something here, I won’t really feel the taste of lunch.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. So, Bocchan, eat in moderation. I’ve found a good restaurant, but if I go and don’t enjoy the food properly, wouldn’t it be useless to come here today?”

Um, since Nina said that much, I’m going to stop today.

However, the number of dessert shops I have visited so far has only been three.

I ate three pieces of cake at one store, so if you include this store, it’s about nine pieces.

Ah, of course, the dessert I ate had already been digested.

My digestive power has strangely increased since I became a sword master.

I’ll have to ask my father when I go back to my parents’ house later.

“Oh, and from now on, I will only go to one dessert shop per outing.”

No, you said that! Too much nina

My only pleasures in life are going to a dessert shop and teasing you, but if one of the two disappears, what pleasure will I live with?

“Instead, if you promise to stop by just one place a day, I’ll go to the dessert shop with you anytime so you won’t be embarrassed.”

“Really?”

Ohh, ohh, as expected, Nina is an angel.

Actually, there was a reason why I took Nina around the dessert shop.

It was that, except for the table where Nina and I were sitting, all of them looked like women or couples.

Some of them seemed to be still getting to know each other.

I envy you.

“When will I ever be able to love like that… ….”

“What did you say, young master?”

“No. Nothing.”

Ha really, why does my inner heart keep coming out of my mouth like this today?

I can’t, Alberto.

Starting today, we will start training at dawn.

Once again, rigorous training pushes me to the limit.

To see the end of the true sword path beyond the realm of ‘sword master’ as the old sword master Tarun said.

With the spirit of a sword master, it seemed difficult to withstand the affectionate expressions and behaviors of couples.

Let’s go! You can do it! You’ll be the best!

–

Alberto and Nina were on their way back to the Royal Academy after leaving the dessert shop.

Although he couldn’t buy the accessories because he didn’t like them, Alberto was determined to buy accessories that would suit Nina.

“Nina, did you say you can bring an attendant to the banquet?”

“Yes.”

“I’m glad. Then, I hope you will definitely come wearing the dress I gave you.”

“Oh, I see. Young master.”

Alberto and Nina were walking towards the Royal Academy, discussing what to wear and what to do there.

“Hey there.”

At that time, someone blocked Nina and Alberto.

“Hmm? Who are you?”

The person who stood in front of the two was a woman about the same age as Alberto.

Judging from the clothes she was wearing and the person standing behind her wearing a maid’s outfit, she seemed to be a lady from an aristocratic family.

“Are you Alberto?”

“Yes, but who are you?”

Alberto was wary of a woman who suddenly appeared and called his name.

“Me? Don’t you know who i am Elizabeth, who is called the genius beauty wizard?”

“Elizabeth?”

“Yes. I am Elizabeth Almerose Vertus. People in the world call me a genius beauty wizard. My father is Archduke Bertus, Grand Duke of Steel.”

“I see.”

As for the Steel Archduke, Alberto knew him well.

The ruler who rules the steel fortress built to prevent the demonic beasts from the outer demonic world, called the unexplored land outside the borders of the Bregern Empire.

The man who was nicknamed ‘the one who is proud even in front of the emperor’ was Elizabeth’s father.

However, from Alberto’s point of view, there was no reason to be intimidated by Elizabeth.

His father was also Count Meidern, a swordsman with a reputation equal to that of Archduke Bertus.

In addition, it was only because of the title of Count, but the reputation and authority of the Earl of Meidern were practically equivalent to that of a duke.

He only stayed in the position of count because he himself was not interested in a power struggle.

If he only wanted it, there could be Count Meidern in the place of Archduke Bertus.

That was the position of a sword master.

“So, what are you looking for?”

“Hmm, your reaction is very different from other people?”

“So, I asked why you came to see me. Lady Bertus.”

Alberto felt slightly offended at the sight of Elizabeth answering the alumni question.

He has to go into the dormitory and practice, but he is holding on to himself and not letting go, so it was a natural reaction.

Nonetheless, Alberto responded with a smile through his superhuman patience.

From noble mtl dot com.

“Well, I didn’t come to see you because I like it too, right? If my father hadn’t sent me a letter, there would be no reason to come here.”

“So, why are you looking for me?”

“My father told me. Find out if you are ‘the man of promise’ my father said.”

Elizabeth brought up her words, ‘the man of the promise’.

Her father, Archduke Bertus, said that if the other party was the promised person, he would recognize it at once.

“The Promise… is that person? What do you mean by that? I have no idea.”

Alberto responded with a smile and no idea what he was talking about.

Then Elizabeth gave a look of pity and she stepped back.

“…… Sheesh, you really don’t know. I will back off this time.”

“Is that so? Sorry for not being helpful. Please enter carefully.”

Alberto bid her farewell to her departing Elizabeth and sent her away.

“What a strange person. I’ll have to write her father and ask him later. Let’s go back, Nina.”

“Yes. Young master.”

Alberto and Nina walked towards the Royal Academy, thinking that some people are really strange.

So, the happy day of the two ended in disarray when the daughter of a strange aristocratic family invaded.
