When he offered them as an apology for declining the previous request, Paulo grabbed his arm tightly in excitent as if he was very pleased.
"Qiong Xing is our grandchild!"
"That’s unfair! Share him with !"
"As if I would!"
At this point, Qiong Xing had no idea what was going on anymore.
He decided to leave the three of them arguing and quietly drink tea with Albe until things settled down.
"They’re all so energetic."
"Too energetic. And seriously, who is that guy? Arguing like that with those two is already sothing—wait, seriously!? A whip! He has a whip!"
At so point, Sarin and Katarina had taken out their weapon and Paulo responded by pulling out a whip of his own.
Wait... who exactly are these people!?
"Fine. I’ll take you on for the first ti in a while. Let’s go outside!"
"I’m not giving Qiong Xing or Lian to anyone. I’ll crush you!"
"Hahaha, do you really think I’d lose to the likes of you two? Co, I’ll give you a proper lesson."
Even if they were forr adventurers, why were they all so quick to start fights?
Qiong Xing could only feel amazed, thinking it was sothing he could never do.
"It’s fine if they want to argue, but if that’s the case, then he and the others will be leaving."
"No way that’s allowed!"
"That’s not allowed!"
"It won’t work if the main person leaves!"
Then stop fighting.
When he reached out toward Sarin who was still holding Lian, Sarin seed to realize it was bad and obediently handed the child back.
"It’s really fine. I don’t have any particular reason to stay here. And if the three of you want to get along in you own way, I won’t stop you guys."
"...... "
"You’re quite bold to say that in front of these two."
"Then could I have the dicinal herbs returned as compensation for the trouble?"
"My apologies."
At this point, Qiong Xing truly started to wonder why he was even here.
Even though they had ti, Katarina and Sarin had deliberately arranged for him to et Paulo, so he thought there must be so reason behind it.
And yet, instead of talking about anything important, the three of them kept arguing and leaving him out of it, which started to annoy him a little.
"So? Mr. Paulo... there should be a reason why Katarina and Sarin ask et you, right?"
If there was, then say it quickly.
When he tapped the table, the three of them hurriedly sat down.
After that, Katarina and the others spent several dozen minutes explaining many things.
"So, in short, you guys reported today’s matter to the pri minister, which makes the princess get scolded, and also punish the king for raising her like that, and make him apologize?"
"If you put it simply, that’s about right."
"I see..."
"Why?"
"...... "
Her attitude today was certainly not sothing to praise, but he didn’t understand why it needed to be reported to the pri minister, and even more, why there was any need for an apology.
"I also thinks her attitude should be improved for the future, but that has nothing to do with , right? I may have been the trigger, but I’m soone who will be leaving anyway. There’s no need for apologies or anything like that."
If that was all there was to the matter, then he thought it would be fine to leave. But as he stood up, the three of them hurriedly stopped him.
"You don’t need to leave!"
"That’s right. The one at fault is that foolish princess. There’s no reason for you to leave."
"For the sake of these old n, won’t you stay?"
What is this?
Not understanding at all, Qiong Xing looked at Albe, only to see his face stiff, clearly overwheld by the intensity of the three of them.
"I appreciates that you guys saying so much for , but there’s no need to make it such a big issue. If we start speaking against the country, even Katarina and the others won’t co out of it we, right? It won’t be like before, but they can still et like this from ti to ti—"
"No, no, no! Absolutely not! I won’t allow that!"
Before he knew it, Sarin grabbed his shoulders and started shaking him back and forth.
As expected, Lian started crying.
Sarin was imdiately beaten up by Katarina and Paulo.
"Let’s ignore that idiot for now. This situation isn’t just his problem. This country may seem relatively good, but that’s only because of the pri minister. With that useless king and that foolish princess, no one knows what will happen in the future. So, they’ll make them understand while they have the chance."
"Lately, the royal family’s behavior has been quite unbearable. I’ve also heard that many nobles hold resentnt."
And yet, sohow the king and this country were still functioning.
Qiong Xing could only admire this so-called pri minister who seed to be handling everything alone.
While the three of them spoke seriously, he listened as if it were soone else’s problem, thinking how troubleso it all sounded. Then, he felt a tug on his sleeve from Albe who was sitting next to him.
"What is it?"
"Is this really okay?"
What did he an?
"At this rate, it sounds like you’ll have to et that pri minister and the king too. That prince is a bit better now, but judging from that stupid princess, the king probably isn’t any good either. If you’re going to run, now’s the ti."
"...Hmm. What should he do?"
While soothing Lian, Qiong Xing quietly watched the three of them. Then, his eyes t Katarina’s.
"...I knows you don’t want to make this a big issue because you thinking about us. But we can’t stand hearing you being talked about like that."
Her voice sounded like she was gently explaining sothing to a small child.
From that tone, he could tell that Katarina and the others truly cared about him.
