Chapter 103: No One Has Ever Dared to Treat Like This
***
"...Carlos."
I looked at him expressionlessly and said.
The red-haired man nad A-sothing-lex's smile froze on his face.
"Uh... Carlos?" He forced the corners of his mouth up, trying to maintain his smile, though it looked quite strained. "Miss, your na is really... haha!"
Those two "hahas" sounded extrely dry. I figured he had originally planned to shower with complints after I told him my na. He was probably quite skilled at this, phrases like "your na is as beautiful as you are" or "Miss, your beautiful na makes my heart race" were the kind of tooth-achingly sweet words that would roll off his tongue effortlessly. He'd probably already prepared his script in his mind, but now he couldn't bring himself to say any of it. After pondering for a while, all he could manage was a dry: "It's quite... unique."
Looking so insincere... I really put you in a difficult position, didn't I?
"I know that," I nodded at him. "Can you let pass now?"
Seeing that I wanted to leave again, A-sothing-lex imdiately extended his arm to block once more.
"Miss Carlos, I've already given you my full na, so according to noble etiquette, you should tell your full na as well."
Hahaha, Miss Carlos!
I had been sowhat annoyed, but upon hearing what he called , I suddenly wanted to laugh.
But I had to hold back my expression.
This guy seed like the type who wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal. I should just get rid of him quickly.
"My na is Carlos Gonzalez."
"Uh, Gonzalez...?" After hearing this, A-sothing-lex looked even more confused. "That surna is quite rare even in the Western Continent. Miss, aren't you a Wintermoon? Where are you from?"
"The Kingdom of Huaxia."
"...What kingdom?"
"Carlos Gonzalez... why does that na sound familiar?" One of the n behind him said with a frown.
"I rember, that seems to be the na of so Pontifical Knight..." Another man seed to recall sothing. "That's right! It's the Silver Flash who walks through the Abyss. That's his na!"
"Alex, this girl is ssing with you."
After their reminder, the red-haired man clearly rembered who the Silver Flash was and realized I was lying to him. His expression imdiately darkened.
"...Rude little girl, I'll give you one more chance. Now, honestly tell your na and what courses you're taking, and I can overlook the fact that you lied to ."
He was already tall and fierce-looking. Now, with his face pulled down as he spoke these threatening words, he looked quite scary... It seed I couldn't just brush him off easily.
A mischievous impulse suddenly arose in my heart.
I blinked my eyes, clenched my small fists against my chest, took a step back and assud a timid posture, as if I was really frightened by him, and stamred out a na.
"Vi... Victoria..."
The sweet voice combined with a delicate face must have been devastatingly effective. A-sothing-lex froze for a mont, sowhat unnaturally looked away, and his expression softened.
"Alex, you scared her!"
"Don't lose your temper. The little girl was just joking with you... seriously, have so patience, will you?"
"Um, little sister Victoria, don't be afraid." Soone ca forward, put his arm around the red-haired man's shoulder, and said with a smile, "This guy is just short-tempered, but he's actually a good person. He just wants to be friends with you, don't mind him... By the way, my na is Nelly."
"...Get lost!"
The red-haired man glared at him, and when he looked at again, his smile was quite gentle, no longer resembling the fierce demon from before.
Heh, n.
The disdain in my heart flashed by, but on the surface I continued to pretend to be harmless: "Can... can I go?"
"Ahem... No~ You haven't told your full na yet."
The red-haired man cleared his throat, deliberately speaking in a slightly playful tone with a thick smile in his eyes. He was probably trying to appear as a friendly big brother, but unfortunately, with that face of his, no matter how you looked at it, there was an indescribable strangeness to it.
But I still decided to answer him obediently.
"Elizabeth Victoria..." After saying that, I tilted my head. "Or is it Victoria Elizabeth?"
He suddenly froze.
The originally cheerful atmosphere solidified the instant I spoke that na.
"Hey Alex, she said her na is Elizabeth... that's..."
"I fucking know without you reminding !" Alex roared angrily at the man with his arm around his shoulder, and when he turned back, his gaze beca very unfriendly. "Little girl, you're playing , huh? Very good, you're really sothing! You even dare to use Her Majesty the Queen's na. You've got so real nerve..."
I looked at him quite innocently.
"Actually, I'm quite timid..."
"Heh." The red-haired man let out a cold laugh. "Aren't you afraid I'll report this to the Queen?!"
Hearing his words, I placed my index finger on my chin, putting on a thoughtful expression.
"Hmm... afraid... or not afraid? Go ahead and tell her, give it a try."
Hmph, how dare he try to threaten using that woman?
I'm not afraid of her at all!
"You..."
Seeing my fearless attitude, the red-haired man pointed at . The words he wanted to curse got stuck at his lips as he hesitated.
"Alex, this girl might not be as simple as we thought..."
I heard clearly the low whisper from the man beside him. The red-haired man nodded and asked : "Tell , what's your father's na?"
"Scalliger Cornwall Rand Wintermoon." I said without hesitation.
"So you really are a Wintermoon..." He had an 'I knew it' expression, then suddenly widened his eyes, showing an incredulous expression. "Wait, who did you say your father was?! Scalliger... the Grand Duke of Shanter Castle, His Excellency Scalliger?!"
"Mm."
After getting confirmation from again, his companions imdiately erupted into chaos.
"No way..."
"This girl... this young lady, is the daughter of the King of Exotic Weapons?"
"Does His Excellency Scalliger have a daughter?"
"I don't know."
"I think... I only know he has a son nad Lafayette... I've never heard of him having a daughter."
"This girl is still lying, isn't she?"
"Obviously still lying."
"The two princesses of the imperial royal family... if I rember correctly, they're both already married and couldn't possibly be here."
"So who is she really?"
"Probably so branch bloodline... really bold, got character."
"Poor Alex... being played for a fool."
"Aren't we the sa though..."
When Alex ca back to his senses, he was already burning with rage. Apparently convinced that I was toying with him, his face had turned red with anger.
Really, why doesn't anyone believe when I tell the truth... Was I a shut-in in my previous life? Or was I so insignificant wallflower? Just dominating at ho, but once I go out, no one knows , no one recognizes ...
"Little girl. Do you know who I am?"
"I know." I nodded. "You're A-sothing-lex."
Who gave him such an awkward, hard-to-pronounce na? Not as smooth as calling Brother Abel.
"...I'm very angry right now. No one has ever dared to treat like this, no one."
