C154 Redemption to Shackles(part Ii)

The next morning. There were still four days until his duel with Heavenly Stage Knight Yoens.

Leopard Boy was woken up by the fragrance of breakfast. He lazily climbed off the bed. His mind was still not clear yet. He quickly cleaned himself up, and then immediately walked towards the dining hall before sitting down. He picked up the milk and added it to the black tea before slowly drinking it.

"Sure enough, you're sober." "Arthur suddenly appeared behind Leopard Boy.

Being suddenly frightened, Toville spat out the nearly half drunk black tea.

Arthur grabbed Leopard Boy's head with one hand. "Brat, don't pretend to be stupid. I know you can understand what I'm saying! Quick, tell me, what is the relationship between you and Coves?! Are you a spy sent by the Beastmen?! What is your goal?! "

"Arthur!" "What are you doing?" Bedivere had just finished washing up, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he quickly stopped him. Don't bully Toville! "

"Bully him?" I'm just asking him! Arthur retracted the hand that was pressing down on Leopard Boy's head, and said fiercely.

Ugh …" "Toville pretended to look pitiful as he snuggled up to Bedivere, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Didn't I say he's just a kid?" "Maybe he doesn't even understand what you're talking about. It's not so easy to learn human language." "

"Not necessarily." "Tristan stood by Arthur's side, inspecting the black tea that Toville had drank with milk." The way in which this black tea was drank with milk was something that not even the Mermen or Fish would know, it was something completely different from the human world. I don't believe that an orc kid would know how to drink it. This is not something that can be learned from long-term contact with the human world. "

"Now, are you going to protect the kid?" Arthur asked Bedivere.

"…." He was sold to the human world as a slave, so it wasn't strange for him to have seen such a method of drinking, right? Bedivere argued, "Can you tell that he's a bad guy just by the way he drinks black tea?" "

"I didn't say [he's bad], I just said [he's hiding something from us]." "This kid just sat down to breakfast like an old man. Did he treat this place as his own home at that moment?" No matter how he looked at it, this did not seem like something a slave should do! "

"Wu, wu, wu, wu, wu …" Saying this, Leopard Boy suddenly cried.

"What, what's wrong, Toville?" "Bedivere looked at the crying Leopard Man in shock. He consoled him while glaring at Arthur," Look, you made him cry! Do you have to be so mean? "

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!" Arthur was about to go crazy, "Why does it sound like I'm the bad guy!? This brat's acting is really good. He cried just because he said so?

"I don't think that's an act. His heart rate is very messy. It's a phenomenon that happens only when you're truly emotional." Guinevere walked into the house and said.

"Oh, Guinevere?" It was early. Arthur replied.

"Come and look at my [slave]." Guinevere laughed, "Looks like he doesn't have a bad aura, except for the fact that you made him cry." "

"I didn't —" Before Arthur could finish, Guinevere pulled him out of the house.

After they left, Guinevere whispered: "Did you know? There are two possibilities, I guess, for the child to understand us and not to respond. First, it may be true that during the brainwashing process some kind of nerve center in the brain was damaged, resulting in language barrier. There was also the possibility that some kind of psychological emotional disorder prevented him from speaking. "

"In the first case, nothing we do is worth it." But in the second case, as long as they patiently taught him and slowly gained his trust, it was possible for him to speak up again. "

Arthur looked at Guinevere and thought carefully, "Why do I have to curry favor with such a stinking brat? He could not see any advantage in doing this! "

"Don't say that," Guinevere said with a mysterious smile. "I can vaguely sense that there is some kind of huge darkness behind this child." Once the matter was made clear, there would definitely be some benefits. Aren't you curious about the interest side of things? Don't you want to know what happened to this kid? "

"I don't want to." One had to be low-key and avoid trouble. Understanding something new means you have to get involved in something new. Arthur said coldly, "It looks like it would be easier for me to put that brat in a cage and sink him into the ocean." "

"Idiot!" A cold-blooded fellow! Guinevere shouted angrily, "Enough!" Since you don't want to get involved in this matter, then consider it as fulfilling my request. You just have to take care of the child and [get his trust] let me do it! "

"Guinevere, you don't have to —"

"I did it because I liked it myself. I'm curious if you're not, so it's okay!" Guinevere retorted.

"Okay, okay." Whatever you like. Arthur replied.

"Now," Guinevere grinned, "let me earn some favorability. "
