Nicholas was greatly influenced by a book
“Well, it is our job to guard people… And so we must follow Lady Claire or Lady Tilura when they go somewhere.”
“Normally we stay and protect the house. But there are times when we have to leave for long periods of time. And sometimes, we have to change where we live…”
It seemed unlikely that Ms. Corint would want to marry someone who would leave the house so often.
If she wanted a happy family, then perhaps a farmer would be better… Besides, being a guard was quite dangerous.
But then again, she might get along well with someone who was very serious about work.
And since Ms. Corint would also be working, she might not be in the house that often anyway.
Besides, the people in Range Village were very friendly, so I doubted that she would feel alone.
“Well, she looks pretty serious about it to me. Though, I don’t know if she fully understands what it means to be a guard. It’s one thing if you don’t mind being away for a while, but… Still, I suppose the conditions are not bad.”
Yes, she had gone straight towards Nicholas. They say that if you fall for someone, you’ll be able to forgive minor faults. And Ms. Corint seemed like the accepting type.
While I was on the dense side, even I could tell by the way she looked at him.
Her expression was completely different when she spoke to him compared to other people. She looked more cheerful. And it did not look like she was doing it deliberately.
“Hmm. So this Ms. Corint is quite bold when it comes to Nicholas. And she wants to be married… Has she been seen approaching any other men like that?”
“Not at all. Well, it’s not like I’ve been keeping an eye on her… But while she is a friendly person who can talk with anyone, she does seem quite different when with Nicholas.”
“I see. So she must be serious at the root. It depends on the type, but some people who only care about getting married, they will run to as many people as possible and approach them…”
It sounded like Mr. Euto was speaking from experience.
In fact, it sort of reminded me of Phillip…?
Though, he didn’t want to get married. He just wanted to be popular.
“So she is perfect for Nicholas then. Though, maybe it’s not good for a couple to be too serious together… At least Ms. Corint seems quite flexible.”
“Is-is that so…? Also, that hurts…”
Phillip was grinning while jabbing Nicholas in the side with his elbow.
“The silent Nicholas and the cheerful Ms. Corint, huh? I think they should be well balanced. Though, Ms. Corint might be a little too bold when she talks…”
“Just like Nicholas is too quiet, Takumi. I think he will just see it as training. Having to put up with that.”
Not saying what you want seemed rather questionable as training…
“Being able to bear something is a samurai’s duty… Bear the pain and wait. That is training too.”
“…So he really does see it as training.”
Nicholas nodded while Phillip looked exasperated.
“Wait a second, Nicholas… Did you just say ‘samurai’?”
“Uh, yes… As a fighter, the samurai is one of the things I strive to be like…”
“Re-really…?”
“Mr. Euto?”
Mr. Euto was surprised.
But you would think he would know about that after living in this world for so long.
“Where did you hear about that? About samurai? There are none in this country… Only knights.”
“In the Ractos orphanage. There was a book about it… How to live and how to fight.”
