But Baroness Rose was a graceful and smart woman, so she gave a simple nod before saying, "I'll leave this matter to you."
The knight gave another bow to accept this order.
When we thought that the knight would leave after this, he suddenly ca over to . As he stood there in front of , I couldn't help being surprised by what was happening.
I looked at him with a strange look, but I waited for him to speak first.
Then in front of everyone, this knight gave a slight bow to that caught everyone off guard again.
Everyone just looked at the knight with a confused look as they waited for the knight to explain what was happening.
As his head was slightly down, the knight said, "Thank you for saving the head knight. If it wasn't for you, we would have lost her and maybe the entire town."
Hearing this, I couldn't help being even more taken aback.
I never thought that anyone would ntion that matter since it was the priest and Cecilia who had taken down the Goblin General together. What I had done was almost negligible.
I looked over at Cecilia who had a blush on her face seeing the knight act like this and I knew that it wasn't sothing that she put him up to.
While this was happening, there were several knights and soldiers that also ca over to bow to .
I just couldn't understand why they were doing this until I took a closer look at them.
I saw that there was sincerity in their stance and could hear the sincerity in their voice. They were thanking for what they thought I did with the bottom of their hearts.
I knew that these were subordinates that had followed Cecilia for a long ti and had been personally trained by her, but I never thought that their relationship would be this close.
It seed that Cecilia was an even better commander than I thought.
At the sa ti, I started to understand why they had stood up for in the first place.
I ca forward and took the knight by the shoulder, helping him up before saying, "There's no need for this. If I had the chance, I would do the sa."
Hearing this, all of the knights and soldiers revealed surprised looks as they looked up at . Then after a pause, all of them suddenly revealed smiles.
These knights and soldiers were all part of the group that had been called out with Cecilia to attack the monster wave. They had been out on the field when I had gone out to save Cecilia and they had seen everything that I had done.
So it wasn't strange that they knew everything about what had happened.
The knight looked at with a serious gaze before he gave a nod and also revealed a smile.
This was a celebration feast, so there was plenty of food and drink to go around.
The knights and soldiers picked up a few flasks and brought them over. The knight that led them also handed one of the flasks to and raised his own towards .
I imdiately understood what he ant and we knocked our flasks together before chugging it all down. Instead of fake drinking, I actually drank this ti.
That was because instead of being in a dangerous situation, this was a celebration feast for this town that I belonged to.
If I didn't take the lead to liven the festivities, then who would?
The rest of the feast went on as planned, the guard that was taken away didn't ruin anyone's mood.
But this ti, no one dared to disrespect like they had before.
The townspeople never had a deep disdain for in the first place like the soldiers and knights had. Now that the soldiers and knights were showing that they were warming up to , the townspeople couldn't help becoming curious about .
After drinking together and having fun together, the bad reputation that I had in the minds of the townspeople was written over and they started warming up to .
It wasn't enough to make them love as much as they did Baroness Rose, but at the very least they no longer looked down on like before.
By the end of it, I was completely drunk.
I didn't rember how much I had to drink, but it definitely wasn't a small amount.
Baroness Rose and Cecilia had been watching from the side with a smile, almost as if they were holding back. They knew that if they ca out now, they would take the spotlight away from and it would make it harder to open up the hearts of the townspeople to .
So they decided to take the backseat this ti.
At the sa ti though, they were happy to see that everyone was starting to open up to .
After I passed out from being drunk, I didn't know what happened to .
I could hear a few voices that were softly ringing out around that sounded very familiar.
Also, I rembered being carried by a few soft hands.
When I woke up, I found that I was in complete darkness.
After taking so ti for my eyes to adjust to this darkness, I found that I was back in my room. Based on how dark it was outside of the curtains, it should be the middle of the night right now.
As I laid there, I tried to rember what happened before I passed out.
But as I was thinking, there was a throbbing feeling that ca from my head.
This throbbing feeling made rember just how much I had to drink at the feast and I realized what had happened…
I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile as I rembered this.
But then I realized that sothing was off.
Cecilia and Baroness Rose weren't here with .
They normally slept with when they were free and they had more free ti during this ti. So the fact that they weren't here was strange.
I was about to stand up and go look for them, but when I made noise as I sat up, the door suddenly opened.
I looked over and my chin dropped when I saw what was waiting there for .
