CH 122

After finishing the story once, Sarah, who smiled to the end and saw the elders off, sat on the sofa, unable to hide her tiredness. Then she looked at Ethan and asked him.

That word alone made Ethan narrow his eyebrows. It was banned in the Crombell Empire, but it happened frequently in other countries.

"Usually, in such cases, they follow the mercenaries and survive, but to the mercenaries, the child soldiers were the only object of anger in the battlefield where their lives came and went, and they were also playthings."

"And it's a battlefield where mercenaries are allowed to do whatever they do to the boys...... so it makes sense."

The Empire had battlefields, large and small, from which Benjamin survived. Many things must have happened before the child who had a hard time holding even a single dagger properly grew up to become a vicious mercenary that made the mercenaries tremble. In the middle of such a battlefield, Sarah found Benjamin, who instinctively expressed his hidden talent ahead of his death.

"Right. So when Benjamin sees boys his age then he tends to be a little kinder."

Was it because he think of himself from then? Even Benjamin, who had no mercy in his hands, showed patience in front of children of his age, enduring it twice and three times.

"There are mercenaries in the capital right now. I heard that everyone hired a lot of mercenaries because of what happened in Alton Estate."

"You're right. Since there were not one or two nobles who had to go to the Alton Estate, the number of knights must have been insufficient."

In the end, Sarah, who returned to her room with a lot of temptation from Ethan, lay on her bed and covered herself with blankets.

"Duke-nim is so mean."

Ethan Ambrosia was too generous and caring for Sarah. It was crazy good, but it was also crazy bad for the heart.

"If you're not going to like me, then don't seduce me."

Sarah kicked the blanket with her feet in anger. Ethan Ambrosia was such a sinful man. If he behaved like this, there would be no woman who wouldn’t fall for him.

'I wish I could have a word with Duke Ambrosia-nim.'

'Of course, Duke-nim is not the one who would coldly reject a Lady's request for dance with a very aristocratic manner.'

'But with a polite but sober voice, you won't want more than that.'
