Chapter 11's

Madam Anton let go of her doubts and spoke softly to comfort Margaret, slightly patting the woman's arm.

“Will be good if you do that.”

"of course. I'll do just that.”

While listening to the other wives, Margaret laughed inwardly.

To him, Radis—'s reputation and his entire future in this regard— is no more important than eye booger.

Therefore, he did not feel guilty at all.

It was much more important for him to protect David and the family.

To the point that Radis was really nothing to him.

As the conversation subsided for a moment, Yurhi pulled on Margaret's sleeve.

"Mother mother!"

“Oh, daughter! What's problem?"

"Look at Radis over there."

With her fan, Yurhi pointed to the corner of the banquet hall near the ladies' toilet.

Radis stood alone among the pillars, so far away from everyone else.

When they looked closely at what he was doing, they saw that he was staring at the balcony on the second floor.

Margaret grunts.

“Did he have no shame? Does she think she will be able to seduce people who look like that?”

Yurhi covered her face with both her hands.

"ah! So embarrassing!"

“Other people feel ashamed for him, but he himself is very shameless.”

Margaret's eyes twinkled happily as she looked sideways to the banquet hall. He stroked Yurhi's head, then spoke.

"Go and meet your friends."

“How about you, Mom?”

Margaret's eyes twinkled silently.

"I'll give him a sense of reality."

...* * *...

'The Russell family held conquests regularly, but sometimes their knights were sent as reserves for Imperial conquest. Will they be there? Of course, they won't know me now, but maybe I can join the conquest. It's not like there's no women at all. If I could meet that person and take the test…'

Radis looked around to look for a familiar face, but his expression hardened when he realized that Margaret, with her interested lips forming a wide smile, was approaching him.

And next to Margaret, a man escorted her.

Maybe they're talking about Radis.

“He's here now, but when we parted, he couldn't socialize at all. The kid is really lacking. ”

“Haha, that's how most young women are.”

"Will you escort Radis, Huber?"

“It's my honor.”

Margaret approached Radis and looked straight at him. He grabbed Radis' arm as tightly as possible, then whispered quickly.

"What are you doing now?"

"No."

"What do you mean it's okay!"

With a distorted expression, Margaret shouted at Radis.

“Do you think I don't know what's on your mind? You look like a woman from the streets while staring at the second floor with reckless eyes! ”

Radis frowned at the unexpected humiliation.

He glanced a lot towards the second floor, but he was not the only one. In fact, most of the people gathered on the first floor looked up.

In particular, there were many young women buzzing under the balcony hoping to see even the Third Prince's shadow.

Including Yuri.

Radis brushed off Margaret's hand and was about to scream.

“Only what—!”

Margaret covered Radis' lips.

"Don't you dare embarrass me here!"

Radis brushed off that hand as well.

But he could not say anything more to Margaret. Somewhat far away, Huber looked at them with an inquisitive look.

Margaret spoke as if she was sincerely advising him.

“Wake up and face reality. That guy is perfect for you. She is my gift to you because you look so lonely.”

"Gift?"

Margaret clutched Radis' arm as if she wanted to tear it apart.

Then, in a very low voice, he whispered.

“There are rumors that he is quite rich even if he looks like that. Isn't this too good to be true for you? Good luck. You never know, maybe you can marry a rich man who does not need to receive a dowry. If it's like that, then I finally feel appreciated having a daughter like you.”

Throughout Margaret's verbal abuse, Radis turns pale, then she pulls Radis towards Huber. He disappeared with a big smile on his lips.

'Is that really something a mother would say?'

As he looked at the figure of Margaret retreating, Radis shook his head.

'No. I don't need to be hurt anymore.'

Then, Huber spoke to him.

“Yes geez. I haven't introduced myself. I Huber Cradium.”

'This guy, Huber. He's here too.'

He knew.

Of course, he was someone known to twenty-six-year-old Radis, not sixteen-year-old Radis.

As he recalled his memories, he almost snorted.

While rubbing Margaret's shredded arm, she responded harshly.

"I know."

Huber's eyes sparkled.

"You know me?"

“Are you not a trader from Gillem?”

Radis nodded small.

'And I know more than that. Being a merchant from Gillem is only your profit, but actually, you are a merchant of mana stones. You squeeze out which stone from the people in my family without telling them the true market value of which stone.'

As Radis looked at him, he swallowed back these words.

In her previous life, Margaret and Jade were responsible for selling which stones Radis had obtained after hunting down demonic monsters.

They get acquainted with Huber, but it is Huber who first approaches them with ill intentions.

He desperately prevented other merchants from knowing about which stone and persuaded Margaret to let him buy it cheaply.

Of course, the silly stunt did not last even half a year, but Huber made quite a lot of profit during that short period.

Margaret and Jade, who were tricked without them noticing, deeply humiliated—but they could not complain about it anywhere.

When this old memory returns, Radis immediately wants to punch Huber in the face.

But it's an old memory. The incident has not happened to sixteen-year-old Radis.

Sighing for a moment, he caught the man staring at him.

Huber's fraud has never happened—no, it will never happen in this lifetime.

First of all, Radis would never bring home any stone.

Radis spoke coldly.

“I don't need a companion. I like being alone.”

However, Huber simply smiled and did not let the situation pass.

"Who in the world would love to be alone like this?"

“……”

Radis turned away from her without answering.

He obviously ignored her.

Hearing this, Huber frowned.

Although outwardly he seemed fine, the same was not true inside. There was no one here who did not know that the Tilrod family was like a sinking paper boat.

However, such a young family woman ignored him.

Huber, whose mood was deteriorating, changed her approach and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

“By the way, the Tilrod family seems quite enthusiastic.”

“……”

“The dress looks familiar. It's in Rhode's store catalog with a 50 percent discount at first, then 60 percent, then 70 percent one after the other. Isn't that a dress that's gradually becoming 90 percent? Aren't you ashamed to wear clothes like that?”

Shortly after saying that, Huber herself realized that she had gone too far.

The person she spoke to was a sixteen-year-old girl who had no socializing experience.

His words and actions were too exaggerated just to avenge an arrogant girl who turned away from him.

However, Radis smiled and just said this.

“It looks like you are interested in women's clothing. Rather suspicious.”

“……!”

“I'm sixteen years old. I had no choice but to wear what was given to me. Doesn't that also happen when you're your age?”

Huber could not say anything back even as she muttered. Radi continued.

"But if it's something embarrassing, then it must be embarrassing just staying beside me."

Radis narrowed her eyes as she looked at him.

“Then, I'll go. I have something to do, even when wearing a dress like this.”

Huber in front of him was not the same man who had deceived him and the Tilrod family.

But that doesn't mean he should be nice to her.

"Maybe it's better not to get involved with him."

But other than that, he saw a familiar person on the second floor a moment ago.

'Robert.'

But he's not sure.

And if it was really Robert he saw, it was strange why he was here from the start.

After all, he wanted to go and see if that person was really Robert.

But.

"Wait a minute!"

Huber persistent.

“Please forgive my bad behavior. As expected, it was a female-like response from a noble family. To apologize, will you dance with me?”

Huber's voice was even more layered than it was just a moment ago, and her eyes lit up with thoughts she could not read.

As their eyes met, Radis could feel the feathers on the back of his neck standing up.

'Dancing?'

He doesn't want to. How appalling.

Going to the demon monster forest with just the clothes on his back was a more interesting idea than dancing with Huber.
