Chapter 22

I would. It was a pity that there was Cesare.

Cesare let out a small sigh and took out a handkerchief from his arms. I wondered how many handkerchiefs he has. Cesare even reached out and wiped the man’s tears himself. There were no adult soldiers. At Cesare’s gentle touch, the man looked at Cesare with tears in his useless, pretty eyes.

“The Lord is wiping my tears away……”

“If I see that little boy later, I will reprimand him and teach him that it’s not good to taunt other people’s weakness. But I don’t think your lack of hair is your weakness.”

“It is not a weakness. How could you say that, it’s none of your business…”

“Listen. Haven’t I been to the capital recently? In the capital, bald hair is rather popular. Isn’t it better to wear a wig? Even men with thick hair are deliberately shaving their hair to be like you.”

“In the capital?”

“Yes. You’re wearing the capital’s trendy haircut. You are leading the fashion in this town.”

As if he had never thought of it that way, the man fell into thought with a bewildered look.

“I am the trend leader……”

“You have a pretty round head, so you don’t even need to wear a hat. So be bold. Of course, you will be upset by touching what you thought was your weakness, but

why don’t you think of it as an opportunity?”

The man hesitated for a moment and then took off his hat. The man’s eyes were sparkling with hope.

“Is it really okay……?”,

“Yes. It’s cool and it looks very good to be bold. If you don’t think of it as a weakness, the people who make fun of it will disappear.”

“I’ll keep that in mind! These were the words I wanted to engrave on my tombstone. Thank you!”

The man clasped his hat in both hands and bowed his head. The man’s hair gleamed as if it had been waxed in the light of a candle. The man left the room with a more relaxed expression. The moment the man left, I immediately asked what I was curious about.

“Is baldness really fashionable in the capital?”

.”The last time I went it was definitely trendy”

“When is the last time?”

“About 10 years ago.”

Looking at my subtle expression, Cesare smirked. In the end, I couldn’t even say anything, so he had a talent for unraveling the facts unexpectedly.

I couldn’t help it and burst out laughing. Lie.

“Why are you laughing?”

“It’s just, it’s fun. The Lord takes even the smallest things seriously.”
