Convenience (MTL Novel) Chapter 42

C42


Sauveur used to be called a mad dog on the battlefield, but he was a more rational man than he thought.

 

On the battlefield, he committed cruel acts so casually that he was called a mad dog because he didn't have to hold back his reason, but his judgment at the time was excellent. So, he was rational only when he wanted to be, which was to say that if he didn't want to be rational, he didn't know what would happen.

 

Why doesn't Gaspard stop Sauveur?

Isn't that an incredibly dangerous situation?

 

While Robert was nervous, Sauveur crouched down in front of Bianca. Bianca gestured to the side, and Yvonne, the maid, who was next to her, took Bianca's plate of sandwiches and passed it to Sauveur. She seemed very unhappy.

 

Sauveur, ecstatic, swept the plate of sandwiches into his mouth. After emptying Bianca's plate of sandwiches, he smiled and nodded at Bianca before disappearing. He didn't forget to shake her hand.

 

He casually intervened Bianca's walk and even got a snack. Robert's feelings on seeing Sauveur like this were absurd.  

 

Robert stood there expressionless, as if he had been stabbed with a knife. Bianca was calm, as if Sauveur had never come and gone.

 

Robert couldn't believe what he had seen. He thought: Oh, what I saw was a hallucination!

 

It was so absurd that I couldn't believe it. Robert laughed at the events of that day. LOL…. I work so much that now I see nonsense.

 

But it seems that it was not stupid. Robert distorted his face as he looked at Sauveur, who had a stupid expression on his face.  

 

Did he really leave his reason on the battlefield? What? Isn't he a bad person? So does that mean he's a good person?

 

Robert's dark green eyes shone brightly.

 

"Do you think the lady treats you like a human being?" She treats you like a dog. You like that? You don't even have pride. 

 

“It doesn't matter if he treats me like a dog. Honestly, I'm a dog. The Count of Arno's dog. Since I am her husband's dog, I am also the lady's dog. What's wrong with that? They gave me sandwiches. 

 

"Are you going to go in there and flirt without pride to get some of that?" Do you remember what she was like?

 

“Actually, we haven't talked long enough for you to remember. 

 

Robert's reproachful tone was terrifying, but Sauveur just scratched his head.  

 

Robert beat his chest in frustration. How he despised them and he ignored them! Even if they tried to say something nice, they just passed by like a cold wind blowing. As if there was no need to talk to them.

 

Only with her husband, Zachary, and Vincent, did Bianca have the slightest "conversation." For others, they were orders, not a conversation. Otherwise, she did not speak or listen to other people. It was the same for Gaspard and Robert as well.

 

Notably, Sauveur was the only commoner among Zachary's three commanders. Sauveur, a free man, was drafted into military service, but showed outstanding prominence and was chosen by Zachary. Robert came from a family of barons, and Gaspard came from a family of knights. For this reason, Bianca was particularly reluctant to mix with Sauveur.

 

Still, does he take it so well and wag his tail? She thought Sauveur was crazy, but he is an idiot.

 

Robert sighed deeply with concern for his partner. Whether he knew Robert's heart or not, Sauveur spoke about the good things about Bianca.

 

She stands proudly in front of a horse the size of a house that even men fear, and she is direct with what she has to say in front of me. Obviously, nobles are nobles.

 

It was pathetic to see him shake his head as he spoke. Aside from whether he could really be considered an asset, he couldn't figure out what the hell possessed Sauveur in such a short amount of time. The corners of Robert's lips twitched.

 

The Sauveur he knew was hot-blooded and thoughtless, but strangely cold and rational. So he was charmed by Bianca for no reason? He was absurd. However, when he saw Sauveur's face full of affection, he couldn't jump to a conclusion.

 

Sauveur was cold and rational, but he was not a two-faced man who hid or deluded himself. That's the truth.

 

Robert kept his mouth shut tight and turned his head over and over several times trying to think of what to say.

 

“She's a bit rude, no, it doesn't matter if she has a strong personality. I like that kind of woman. If we go to the capital this time, maybe it's not a bad idea to get the lady's scarf at the tournament. Oh. If I win, will I be able to give the lady flowers? That's kind of encouraging. 

 

-What?

 

Robert, who had been listening to Sauveur well until now, got up shakily. Mistrust filled his face. To wear his bandana in the tournament?! Also, is he thinking of giving flowers to his wife? Does this idiot know what that means?

 

"Didn't you eat something wrong?" The sandwiches the lady gave you last time. Are you sure they were okay?

 

 "No, did you see that?" What a shame.

 

She said it was embarrassing, but the corners of her lips, which were raised in a smile, didn't look like that at all. Robert's face hardened further at Sauveur's hopeful look.

 

Before the tournament, the knights who received jewelry or belongings from the ladies implied that they had a secret relationship with each other, and so was the glorification of victory. Of course, there were knights who participated to save the face of the teacher's wife, but it was very rare.

 

Until now, Bianca had not attended the tournament, so Zachary's three knights, who had no taste in giving flowers to other women, always gave flowers to the wife of Prince Gautier of Sevran, the prince Zachary served. 

 

To be honest, he didn't want to give flowers to a person he hadn't even exchanged a word with. But instead of her teacher, Bianca, Prince Gautier's wife seemed to be a more suitable lady to receive the victory flower. At least she received the flowers and handed out congratulations.

 

Perhaps because Robert's face showed a hint of reluctance towards Bianca, Sauveur added with a smile.

 

"We are the earl's knights, so it is not unusual to honor the lady."

 

“Of course it is. Even if I don't like him, in the end, I will have to grant him victory, even for the sake of my master and the Arno family. 

 

Sauveur's words were theories, and although he fully agreed with them, Robert's eyes darkened. Until now, she hadn't appeared, so he had never thought of such a situation, but next year, the story will be different.

 

What kind of response will you get when you give flowers to "your lady" at the tournament? If it were him, she wouldn't hesitate to even insult him. Just thinking about it gave her chills. Robert muttered seriously.

 

"If she throws the flowers, what am I to do with that shame?"

 

“Perhaps he just received it without thinking. 

 

Sauveur thought that Robert was exaggerating.

 

Sauveur was also sympathetic to Robert's reluctance towards Bianca. He doesn't have fond memories of Bianca either. But, as he told Robert earlier, it was rare for them to exchange words correctly in the first place.  

 

They followed Zachary to the battlefield all the time, and before that, Bianca was too young. It was not for adults or for men to consider even the faults of a young girl.

 

“Honestly, the reason why you hate madam so much is because she was too stubborn when she was young and you wanted to use her to some extent.
