Chapter 322 – A Family (1)

It was common for wagons to waddle along the country roads. Matilda clutched her doll tightly and looked anxiously at the distant view of the mansion. She said as her nun her, who was next to her, held her hand tightly.

“It will be fine. This time, he is a really famous and nice person.”

“Yes.”

Matilda knew who this time was nominated as her benefactor her. Peta Lucius. She was the one who saved him from hell, and she was a lustful woman known throughout the continent. He was especially famous for taking his wives regardless of his race, and was nicknamed the ‘Sex King’ within the academy. Matilda was at the point where she wondered if it was her destiny to meet only such people. The lord of Delmon Manor was a low-quality person who tried to get his hands on him, and another aristocrat he met afterwards was the head of an illegal drug trafficking organization, who was caught by the relentless pursuit of the Knights and executed last night . Matilda’s expression darkened whenever she thought of this story.

“It’s not your fault. Matilda.”

The nun tried to placate her Matilda. Her parents her, Matilda, were not human beings as her parents her. Her father her was a rowdy drunkard who lived with her alcohol, and her mother her disapproved of her studies her and often insulted her. It was the nuns of Daecheon Shinkyo who recognized her talent of Matilda, who was immersed in her mud. Knowing how to teach her Hana, and solving problems by thinking about theories she had never learned, was exactly the same as geniuses who appeared in history.

“But everywhere I go it ends up like this. Will it really be different this time?”

Matilda asked her nun in her melancholy tone her. She held Matilda’s hand her tightly in silence. The very fact that she said that she would be fine made her feel irresponsible even to herself. She prayed in her heart her. When her academy was on vacation, Matilda had to go either to her hometown her or to the mansion of her patron her. Matilda cries and eats mustard, she chooses the mansion of Peta Lucius.

When she entered the estate, Matilda’s first impression of her was that she was more energetic than she thought. For a person with a promiscuous nickname like the King of Sex, she seemed to rule the estate very well. Matilda felt a strange feeling when she saw the inhabitants of the estate talking freely to her children and knights running around while she laughed.

“Doesn’t it sound like a nice place?”

“Yes.”

The nun looked at the Archangelic Church. Seeing people rushing her steps to pray for her, she felt somehow proud. Somehow the idea of ​​a good place settled in her head her.

“Hurray!”

Someone shouted loudly in the street where the carriage was passing. Matilda stuck her head out a little and looked out of her window. Something in the distance was running, raising dust. The nun hurriedly pulled Matilda back, and she identified the flying thing.

It was a sight difficult for her mind to comprehend. Following the directions of the mermaid in her wheelchair her, the beastman was running along the main road with her tail stiffened. Faster than galloping horses, they passed the wagon. The nun looked in the direction where her wheelchair had disappeared with a bewildered face.

“What’s wrong. Sister?”

Matilda called her nun her sister her. It was because the nun who took care of Matilda, who had never felt the affection of her family her, was like her older sister her. The nun, who did not like this title at first, eventually gave up on her persistent title of Matilda.

“No, nothing. My head hurts, so I must have looked at something wrong.”

She decided to pretend she had seen the wrong thing. He must have been having strange fantasies because he had been worrying about Matilda so much lately that her heart had suffered. A mermaid and a beastman running in a wheelchair, there was no way there was such a thing in the world.

The carriage was heading straight for the manor house. To get there, you had to cross the town square. People were sitting in huddles in the square. There was a small hall in the center of the square, where a lady was singing.

“It’s a pretty voice.”

Matilda laughed bashfully at the sound of her singing her. She was looking at the place as if the nun was also enchanted by her beautiful singing voice. She listened to the song, with the coachman stopping her words in silence. She was a nun, but somehow in this estate she felt that Matilda might fit in well.

After finishing the song, the aristocratic lady greeted me with a gentle smile. People were cheering. In particular, a middle-aged knight wearing huge and thick armor was cheering enthusiastically. The cheers were so loud that they drowned out the cries of others. Matilda laughed because it was funny. It was because she was a little different from the knights she knew. The lady courted by her knight shamefully covered her face.

At the end of her song, the coachman, who had come to her senses her as if freed from her spell her, drove her horse again. A smile grew on Matilda’s face her. The nun somehow had the feeling that she would do well this time.

Match! Match! Match!

A cheerful sound echoed through the mansion. The sound grew louder as the coachman approached her mansion. The nun and Matilda were deducing the identity of the sound.

“Sister. What is this sound?”

“Well, it sounds like you’re playing some kind of percussion instrument, right?”

As they amicably shared their inferences, the voices were getting clearer.

Match! Match! Match!

“Aagh! Aww! Wrong! Aagh!”

A human scream was heard. Matilda’s face her, which she had been smiling a moment ago, hardened. The nun, too, stiffened, meeting her eyes toward her mansion her. The two of them froze at the fact that it was not the sound of light percussion, but the sound of slapping flesh.

A guard stopped them in front of the gate. Matilda’s face her was slightly white. The nun tried her best to pat Matilda on the shoulder her and soothe her. The clap-clap range endlessly. Said the guard.

Match! Match! Match! Match!

“What are you here for?”

“Oh that… Daecheonsingyo support program… That…”

“Daecheonsingyo?”

Match! Match! Match! Match!

The guard put on a puzzled expression. He seemed to be new to this. When the guard showed signs of distress, the nun said.

“Oh that… Sponsored by the lord…”

“Oh, sorry. That’s the word of support. Yes. I heard the story. Come over here.”

The guard opened the door as if he had just remembered. Matilda was still trembling with fear, her body her shrunken. She was wafting through the yard of her mansion with sounds too deadly for a 14-year-old to hear. In the direction the guards were guiding them, they could see a woman holding her whip her and striking her fiercely. A soldier crouched down on the floor, shivering. A bloody sound escaped from her woman’s mouth.

“Hey you fucking bitch. Didn’t you goof around and get caught by my husband the other day? But the fuck did you get caught sleeping again?”

“Sin, sorry! Forgive me just once… !”

“Forgiveness is fucking…”

“I, madam…”

The guard pouted and spoke to the woman. The woman, glancing at the guard with her bloody eyes, noticed the carriage standing behind her and frowned at her. She was a beauty with red hair and sharp eyes. Matilda thought her eyes met hers, which made her tremble even more. It was because the atmosphere around them was so brutal.

“Who is it?”

I heard the woman ask her guard in a low voice. The guard spoke to the woman in a lower voice.

“That, isn’t it? She said she was sponsoring the other day…”

As her soldier slurred her words, the woman narrowed her eyes and she pondered for a moment before looking at the fallen soldier on her floor. He was shaking her body and complaining of her pain in her. Matilda poked her head out of her window and she met her eyes with the woman. Only then did Matilda know that she was her lover her. Depigmented pupils came in with her scars drawn over her eyes. Matilda quickly hid herself like a squirrel.

“Tsk.”

I heard her click on her tongue on her. The woman looked around her for a moment and then she said to the soldier.

“Didn’t you say you were coming tomorrow?”

“Today.”

“Fuck.”

The woman lost her temper again and kicked the fallen soldier to the floor. The soldier rolled on the floor making a strange noise.

“Oooh!”

“Fuck off! Go and hand in your resignation letter to the chief of your guard and start farming. Okay?”

“Oh, Lord Eve! If you cut me like this… !”

Eve drew her knife. The soldier, trying to ejaculate, shut his mouth and ran away with a limp. Eve put the knife back in and looked at her wagon her. The coachman, who had watched the series of events, was trembling while holding the reins with a pale face. Eve said.

“Okay. The child who rode there, the one we are sponsoring this time… A child?”

“Yes! Yes!”

The coachman answered loudly and hurriedly got off the carriage. Before Eve could gesture, he opened the door and let Matilda and her nun out. The nun quickly got off and she greeted Eve.

“No, hello.”

But the nun’s tone did not hide her fear of her. Eve’s eyebrows her went up slightly, then she went down again. It was because her eyes met Matilda, who got off after her. Matilda, seen by Eve, was a very fragile child. Her bobbed brown hair and her black eyes her. And the skinny body and pale skin of a child who has only studied her whole life.

“You. Is that the child to be sponsored?”

“Yes Yes!”

Eve’s question seemed to sound rather bitter to Matilda. Matilda answered quickly and nodded her head. Both the nun and Matilda were nervous about Eve. Eve thought she had bad timing. Because she didn’t want to appear like this.

Eve raised her hand slightly, and Matilda involuntarily took a step back. Eve let out a deep sigh and opened her palm to show her willingness to shake her hand. Matilda winced and carefully reached out her hand her. She seemed to be learning the process of making friends with wild animals. Eve held her hand lightly, and Matilda flinched and smiled awkwardly at her.

“Let’s go up first. I have to do paperwork.”

Since the sponsored child was handed over, I had to fill out the relevant paperwork. After she turned and disappeared into her mansion her, the nun and Matilda looked at each other, then nodded once and followed Eve into her mansion her.

Eve and Matilda. The two met for the first time like that.
