The Reason I Keep Avoiding My Childhood Friend - Chapter 171

Only then did the two, who was in a tense war with each other, turned to look at me. The Taylon knight’s gaze seemed to ask. Why was there a child here? He’s treating me like a kid!

I was furious, but when I made eye contact with the knight, my agitated feelings faded in an instant. This time, nothing but exclamation came out. Wow, crazy beauty. I stared at him, forgetting what I was going to say.

Then Baron Owen stepped in.

“Excuse me. The knight had committed a disrespect.”

No. His face has the power to dispel disrespect itself. I unknowingly bit my lip to keep myself from uttering nonsense. That’s why the knight’s appearance was full of destructive power.

“Excuse me for being in a hurry. For entering without permission, interrupting during a conversation, I made two big mistakes. Please forgive my rudeness.”

With Baron Owen’s lead, the Taylon knight also realized his mistake and hastily asked for an apology. Even though he had thought of me as a child, I couldn’t help but bow down politely and receive his apology.

“It’s okay, so you don’t have to do that.”

“Thank you for forgiving me.”

My heart fluttered again at the smile that didn’t even look like a smile with his lips lifted slightly. Such a heartbreaker!

“Then, now that the situation has been sorted out, shall we have a proper conversation?”

I took my eyes off the Taylon knight at Baron Owen’s word. I decided not to turn my eyes to that knight because if I looked at him any longer, I would end up chasing after him like a person who fell for idols.

“I don’t have anything to say. What kind of conversation?”

“I came here with difficulty because I wanted to talk to Lady Aide.”

I clearly fixed my head in place, but my pupils kept moving to the side in search of the knight’s handsomeness. The Taylon knight looked surprised by Baron Owen’s words, and his expression slightly wavered. Then, when I saw that he sent an observational gaze towards me, this man also knew me.

That means that the other was also surprised that my image is different from what the Arendine Aide they were thinking of, right? I don’t know whether I should be glad that such a handsome man knows me, or sad that I was treated like a child.

“Why did you come to me with difficulty?”

“I asked for a meeting, but it didn’t go through, so I have no choice but to go out on my own.”

I was taken aback again. The question I asked was why did he bother to come to me? However, the answer he gave me was strange. He was saying as if I refused to meet him? Did he ask for a meeting? When?

“I don’t understand. How do you know me? And you asked to meet me? Who did you ask it to?”

When I asked back in confusion, the two looked into each other’s eyes rather surprisedly. And it seemed that they were having a silent conversation, like they were having telepathy.

I had felt it for some time, but it seems that there were people who can communicate with the eyes. Sometimes it’s like Father and the Grand Duke, or Father and Kir. There were times when some people made eye contact with each other without saying a word in a situation that only I did not understand.

“I have contacted the sage’s study several times to arrange a meeting. Have you never heard from me?”

I got a rough idea of what went out of line and what they wanted.

“First of all, I haven’t received any notification that anyone is looking for me.”

Seriousness lingered in both of them. Baron Owen’s eyes became very bitter, as if he would directly protest against the Sage’s Study after he left this place.

They misunderstood Arendine Aide as a sage belonging to the Sage’s Study. And that means they didn’t know me personally, but heard my name somewhere. So it got even more puzzling. I want to solve my curiosity, but I had to sort things out before that.
