Chapter 31 (2/2)

I tell Jin that it is fine for him to call me Doyle, but he refusesto continue this topic with hie

I think he needs to learn the etiquette of the noble circle I should ask Sebastian to teach hiives you the saave them I really want to say this, but I will endure it and return us back to the ht

”Please addressyou want to ask me?”(Doyle)

Jin repositions hi position He has a serious expression on This is very new for hiue that is different fro mode

”I do notto answer this question, but if you can answer, then please do answer this question, Master Doyle”(Jin)

”If it is nothing complicated, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities”(Doyle)

I reply to Jin who speaks in a serious tone

”Why do you so unyieldingly refuse help frohness?”(Jin)

This is quite the unexpected question

I aht he would ask why I accepted the ht this last ti the Selection Matches, but I do have to say that he is very observant despite being unable to read the mood

”What makes you think that, Jin?”(Doyle)

I answer his question with another question I will listen to people if they have a question for hinis is not that nice of a person to always obediently answer everything he is asked Also, I am really interested in Jin who asked such a question and how he arrived at such a conclusion

”To ask what made me think this is quite troublesome as I do not have a clear answerbut I suppose I felt it or it was intuition”(Jin)

”Felt it?”(Doyle)

”Yeswhen the groups were announced, Master Doyle was very easily able to see through His Highness's h you knew your actions would h with it I also feel that His Highness has a grasp on your feelings, but not to the level of how you understand hiu speed I was not surprised by this because during the group announcement, I felt that you two have a very deep bond that I cannot reach at this moment”(Jin)

I am surprised at this response

I knew that Gray had rushed to the scene that day and put himself in between roup as well I aue in the way it does not answer my question directly and informative as I can understand the essence of his answer from this response

”So on that day, I felt that you had pushed him away from you You had rejected his help and wanted to cohness wants to do is to help you His Highness wants to ht now, but Master Doyle strongly refuses to accept his help Why do you do this? I have no doubt His Highness will be happier if you accept his help You can understand the feelings of His Highness more than anyone else That is the reason I have come to ask that question”(Jin)

I think at this moment that even if I am not beside Gray in the future, he will be properly taken care of by Jin With this person by your side, I believe you will beco in the future, Gray I remember a conversation I had with my father when I was little about theI still remember how he asked me the question

”Jin, what do you think is the most important trait to have as the person who stands beside the King?”(Doyle)

”What?”(Jin)

”I will give you a hint It is not strength, intelligence, observation skills, supre you these hints, what do you think is the ?”(Doyle)

”The ?”(Jin)

”By the way,I also answered this question correctly when I was asked by him”(Doyle)

”Well then, I ive it my all to answer it!”(Jin)

That is a lie, I did not get the answer correct and kept thinking about it for an entire week I gave up after a week and had ht me that this is also an important lesson to learn if you want to become a [hero]

I re with ive ive him the answer

”Ahhhhh! I give up Master Doyle, I do not know!”(Jin)

Jin has been thinking for quite soht for about an hour

”I could not think of the answer Master Doyle Please tell me what is the correct answer!”(Jin)

He is a straightforward guy, but I think his straightforwardness is what h he does need to learn to hide his expressions and moods

”Theto have is”(Doyle)

”Yes!”(Jin)

”To never rely on the King”(Doyle)

”What?”(Jin)

When he hears my answer, Jin facial expression becohter because of his face

I rehter that day after I heard the answer I guess I must have made that face as well

(1) Show ju the course This is done to gauge the speed and distance required for each jump and understand how many steps are needed Doyle has already done that part and is now starting his jumps over the obstacles The rider must jump over the obstacles in the order they thee

(2) More show juht of fences, 0 is the shortest and 9 is the tallest Oxers also have levels An Oxer is two fences that are placed closely together || like this but with the second one being taller than the first This is an ascending oxer

(3) A course can have up to 13 jule level can consist of up to three ju it has two jumps in a row A combination jump is classified by how many strides you can take in between The rules of show ju officially say that when there are only two strides between jumps, that is a combination juht, and since it is combined with level 8 and 9 which are the tallest jumps, this is very hard to pull off
