has a very poor standard!”

 

Some nobles were furious at Marie’s words, but when they saw me walking in front of Marie, they shut their mouths.

 

“I hope this social gathering can warmly welcome nobles from other countries in the future.
Unlike other countries, Bing Caravan is a place where all cultures in the world come to communicate and exchange.
I hope you can bear in mind what I just said.
This was Marie from the Arianne family speaking.
Thank you.”

 

Marie walked down from the stage after saying that, and the nobles who were watching her speak suddenly began to applaud loudly with cheers and whistles.

 

And then, Marie began to bow her head to the Akazit four sisters showing a very different gentle expression than before.

 

“The ladies of the ever-famous Akazit family, I hope you will forgive the rude behavior of this noble lady.
I have made a mistake in a worry of possible damage to the honor of my family in a conversation that happened a moment ago.“

 

The ladies who were surprised at Marie’s sudden change of attitude were just blinking their eyes in astonishment.

 

Soon after, the nobles around started cheering for Marie, and the applause and cheering only got louder and louder.
And the Akazit sisters who decided to ride on with the crowd said,

 

“Th-that’s right.
We were being a little too mean, weren’t we?”

 

Making eye contact with each other, confirmed that there was nobody on their side in this room, and lowered their tails.

 

And then, women in extravagant embellishments grouped around me.

 

“Did you say your name is Maxim?”

 

“Your armor is quite beautiful.
It must be a work of a noble artist!”

 

“It suits your name as the Knight of Flowers!”

 

“Your blades moved in such a beautiful yet critical way.”

 

I felt so grateful that I was wearing a helmet, that I had considered it a burden, at this moment, as I received the burdensome gaze of the ladies.

In contrast to my situation, men started to gather around Marie.

 

“I never knew how great the Arianne family truly was.”

 

“I must confess that this is my first time ever hearing your family, however now I think I can remember the two names, ‘Arianne’ and ‘Marie’ until the day I die.”

 

“You see.
You would need to pass a few formal rites in order to sign up for this social gathering, however, I will make sure to sign you up for our gathering without having to go through such bothersome processes.”

 

“We can help you experience the tradition of Bing Caravan.”

 

“You can’t miss out on the auction in Bing Caravan!”

 

“If you become a member of our social gathering, you can enter the auction without having to go through any process.”

 

After listening to what the men gathered around Marie said, I finally started to understand why she wanted to participate in this social gathering.

 

The content of the letter must have said to become a member of this social gathering through any methods necessary.

 

And she managed to complete this mission in her own way.

 

If I were to receive that role, would I have been able to complete it as she did?

 

If I could act that perfectly, then I would’ve become an actor a long time ago.

 

Marie and I received so much attention that we were able to get out after staying for a long time.

 

She was holding a card with a jewel engraved on it which authenticates her as a member of the social gathering and I had a countless amount of faint lip marks on my gauntlet.

She kicked the high heels she was wearing off her feet as she came back to the inn.

 

“Now the real game begins.
We earned the entrance ticket to the auction that has  ‘Eulicine’s Rhapsody’ registered for sale.”

 

She laid herself on the bed and began to stretch out loudly.

 

“Anyways, you were really good at acting back there.”

 

I carefully asked her a question.
Then she said,

 

“Well, I am experienced in this, so.”

 

She answered me in her normal form as Khea.

 

The roleplay was finished for now.
Realizing that swept the burden that had settled in the corner of my heart away in an instant.

“Wait, Khea.
Does that mean you were a noble once? What do you mean you’re experienced?”

 

“You think that a half-elf can be a noble? Really?”

 

She talked to me as if I said something funny.

 

“This only worked because we were in Bing Caravan which is a multicultural state.
If this was anywhere else, I would’ve been captured and arrested on the spot.”

 

She told me as she sat up in the bed, tying her hair tightly.

 

“I’ve worked for nobles as a slave before.
That’s why I know how they act or think better than anyone.”

 

She revealed her past as if it were nothing.
My heart felt like it sank for a moment.
She smiled as she looked at me and said,

 

“Honestly, when those Akazits said things about half-elf and slave market, I wanted to cut their heads off.”

 

She said with melancholic eyes,

 

“Because I was so angry about the blood that flows in me and its destiny.
But I thought about it a moment, then realized that I wasn’t a half-elf.
I was a Sworder.”

 

“And so?”

 

“So I ignored any other thoughts because I decided to act as a ‘Sworder’.
I was a little girl who suffered through life because of race as a half-elf am no more.”

 

She said, trying to sound as blunt as she could.

 

I couldn’t even imagine the pain and suffering she received from her past or the misfortune she had to persevere through at her young age.

 

All I could do was nod my head as she continued to speak calmly.

 

“The bidding starts tomorrow.
Let’s get this mission done, and return to the Sanctuary.
Master told me that we will be getting a pretty lengthy free time after this mission.”

 

“Really?”

 

She smiled slightly at my question.
She seemed to have laughed at my response since I reacted with a springing action at the word ‘free time’.

 

“Truth be asked only to the blade.”

 

She put on her blanket after answering me.
As for me, I swallowed the bitterness from listening to her past and also said,

 

“Truth be asked only to the blade.”

 

And left the room, closing the door behind me.

 

The smile she showed me, despite her dark past,

 

It was enough to convince me that she was strong.

 

She is strong.

 

And she is reliable.
