Bam!
Knite threw the boar leg in front of Jessica and said proudly,
I was lucky. Today was the first day of training, and I was appointed as a team commander in the militia. I’m in charge of 100 people, and I think the time for me to marry you is here! Therefore, I advanced half of my monthly salary and bought this Desert Boar’s leg. The poor people in the city couldn’t even see the hair of Desert Boars on a regular day, let alone eating its meat during a war. Haha! Jessica, my dear fiancée. You can prepare the boar leg, and we can invite all the neighbors in the area to come here for a feast and announce our engagement.
You think too much,
Jessica threw the boar leg back and sneered,
Go and get engaged to the Desert Boar!
Haha, Jessica, you are not fair. Before, you said that I don’t have a proper job and rejected me because of it. Also, since your brother is a soldier, I couldn’t do much. But now, the situation is different. I’m a team commander in the militia constructed by King Alexander, and I’m going to be battling with the invaders of Jax soon. I’m already a changed man! Jessica, why won’t you accept me?
Monkey-like Knite zapped his mouth and explained. He completely ignored Jessica’s provocation, and he glanced at Jessica’s body.
Knite, you are too late! Stop bothering Sister Jessica! She already has a fiancé; it is him!
that girl who had freckles on her face pointed at Fei and declared,
Mr. Fei is much more handsome than you!
Knite looked in the direction that this girl was pointing at, and he saw Fei.
He immediately became hostile towards Fei.
The man in front of him was 100 times more handsome than him, and this man’s presence was also much better. Even Knite had to admit that he would choose this man if he was Jessica.
Who…… are you?
Knite asked carefully.
I’m Emile’s friend, and I’m here as a guest,
Fei said as continued to eat a piece of delicious honey bread in his hand; he didn’t raise his head because he didn’t want to be recognized.
So…… you are a part of the military?
Knite squinted his eyes and tried to get to know Fei more.
Yeah, you can say that. I don’t have much power in the military.
After they chatted a bit, Fei relaxed; he found out that this monkey-like Knite didn’t know who he was. He liked talking and listening to these people who were like his uncles and aunts; if his identity got exposed, these people wouldn’t feel at ease in front of him, and this rare atmosphere that he enjoyed would disappear.
Knite nodded and let go of the breath he was holding in.
Then, this new team commander who was feeling good about himself started to boast.
Eh, I thought so. Look at you; you are so weak that you couldn’t even lift up a blade. Since you can’t kill enemies on the frontline and gain military merits, you could only get a small position in the military with no real influence……
as Knite said that, his expression got happier. In his mind, this man in front of him was no longer a threat. He turned around and said to Jessica,
This guy isn’t that good. Although he looks good, he might be in the business of scamming young girls like you…….
Jessica spat at him and interrupted his insult of Fei,
Knite, shut up! I won’t allow you to insult my brother’s friend.
You……
Knite felt like he was belittled after Jessica acted rudely towards him for several times.
After all, he had a few of his subordinates with him today, and he as their commander was being shamed. On top of that, Jessica was protecting Fei, and Knite thought that Fei was luring this girl; as a result, his jealousy burned vigorously inside of him.
He picked up that boar leg and threw it towards Jessica.
Hehe, what I said won’t change. I’m getting engaged with you today for sure, and no one can stop me. The war already broke out, and the situation in the city is very different. Before, I thought this dumb Emile is a high-level official in the military, but now I know that he is almost like a groom and a servant. I’m not afraid of him anymore! Don’t you value your big brother? If you don’t accept me today, I will move Emile onto the defense wall tomorrow. If the invaders decide to attack, I’m not sure if Emile can make it back alive,
Knite said in anger.
Knite was bullshting.
: Same Kind of Pure Soul (Part Two)
He was only a team commander in the militia; how could he command Husky who was a formal soldier in Dual-Flags City? Even though Husky had a low-level position and was like a groom and a servant to other high-level commanders, he was still a part of the native defense force. Even a brigade commander of the militia who had control over 10,000 militia members couldn’t command Husky, let alone a little team commander like Knite.
However, the other people didn’t know about this; their faces all changed color after hearing that.
The neighbors all started to worry. They all watched Husky grow up, and they knew that he was too simple-minded and a little slow. Even though he had a lot of physical strength, he never learned any fighting techniques; if Husky went on the defense wall, he would probably die under the blade of the invaders.
Jessica’s body froze after she heard that.
Even if I die on the defense wall, I won’t allow my sister to marry you! You are just a hooligan! How are you worthy enough for my sister? Even the priest from the Holy Church said that she would become an influential figure one day……
Husky shouted as he protected his sister with his back; he was too slow to figure out the errors in what Knite had said. This simple-minded man cared about his sister a lot, and he believed in what that priest from the Holy Church had said many years ago; he wasn’t going to let his goddess-like sister marry a hooligan like Knite.
Haha? You believe the words of that old beggar? A beggar and an idiot! Hahaha!
Knite laughed out loud with his subordinates behind him as if they heard the funniest joke.
On this continent that was ruled by the law of the jungle, the good looks of a girl would only bring her tragedy if she wasn’t powerful enough. If Husky didn’t serve under Ribry who was an overprotective general and if Jessica was a few years older and her body fully matured, she would have been kidnapped by the nobles and got ruined by them.
Becoming an influential figure? That possibility seemed slim.
However, Fei suddenly realized something.
A poor priest of the Holy Church said that Jessica is going to become an influential figure? Normally, even the lowest priests in the Holy Church won’t be broke enough to beg for food on the street, unless he was a scammer…… Or there is something else? Could it be that there is a secret around Jessica?
Fei suddenly thought about how Jessica felt similar to Angela, and Priest Balesi said that Angela had the purest soul in the world and almost forced her to join the Shrine Choir.
Could it be that…… Jessica’s soul is as pure as Angela’s? And a mysterious priest came to this city many years ago to check up on her?
Fei felt like that possibility was high; after all, Jessica and Angela were way too similar.
Emile, you are such an idiot! Your identity as a low-level commander in the military is worthless in my eyes! You can no longer protect your sister! Look at her hands! They are rough and thick like carrots! In a few more years, she would look like prostitutes who have thick waists and a full face of freckles. Hehe, if you die on the defense wall, who is going to take care of her?
Knite laughed as he mocked Husky.
I, Knite, is now a team commander in the militia under King Alexander His Majesty! If I get enough military merits, I will be rewarded by King Alexander and might even become a noble. Jessica, you are only a girl living in a poor neighborhood; if you marry me, you might become a noble lady one day! Also, Husky, I might also promote you, so you no longer need to work as a groom!
The more Knite talked, the prouder he was.
Girl, don’t reject our commander! Otherwise, your brother will die on the defense wall!
Yeah! If you let this opportunity go, you might have to open your legs for our commander when you run out of food, and he might not even look at you! Right now, even the women in the rich neighborhoods want to get themselves a commander in the military.
