Chapter 114: The Wise One (1/2)
”The Wise One...”
Inside the carriage...
Calvin was sandwiched between Bruce and Ashlynn.
The Cavaliers were definitely low-key.
Despite the fact that most of them wore clothes made from high-quality fabric and silk, they rented a carriage from a company situated at the Western Borough for five Joselian Pesos a day.
Including the horse, the daily rent amounted to eight pesos a day.
That was a week and a half's worth of wage.
But even though the carriage rental was so exorbitant, the carriage was trash. It seemed that the person who made this carriage didn't fully grasp the concept of suspensions. It was because the carriage kept on jumping up and down even if the roads weren't really that bumpy.
This meant that since Ashlynn was sitting beside him. Her breasts keep on hitting Calvin's arm.
Ashlynn glanced at Calvin and gave a cheeky smile.
She pushed herself closer to Calvin and asked, ”How do you like that?”
Calvin gave a bitter smile, ”Is this some kind of a honeytrap?”
Smack!
Ashlynn smacked Calvin's arm and said, ”Hmmph, you really don't know how to be grateful, eh?”
”What honeytrap? I just want to know more about what happened that preceded that incident. Hehehe, who knows? What if you suddenly remembered everything after being so close to me?”
Ashlynn winked at Calvin.
Calvin let out a dry cough.
Bruce turned to look at Calvin and he couldn't help but sympathize.
Ashlynn may be a beauty and an eye-candy but she always acts like a hooligan!
The world of Las Felipinas was a world stuck in the eighteenth century when compared to the modern and urbanized world of Earth. In other words, this was a world that called for women to be modest, virtuous, and always thoughtful.
The fact that Ashlynn acts like a hooligan and coquettish at the same time was considered strange.
The look on Bruce's face alone told Calvin everything that he needed to know.
”Am I not that attractive? I may be quite old now, but I'm still a maiden. I haven't done that sort of thing that can only be done by a man and a woman, you know?”
Peng!
A dull thud suddenly rang out.
For some reason, Bruce's head collided with the ceiling of the carriage.
”What are you doing?” Ashlynn looked at Bruce and asked with a frown on her face.
”Uh... Nothing, I just lost my balance...”
”Damn, this carriage is too bumpy!” Bruce scolded under his breath.
”Oh, I see...” Ashlynn softly uttered, and she didn't think about it anymore.
”Hey, what do you think...? Am I beautiful?”
Ashlynn went even closer to the point that her lips were now so close to Calvin's ears.
The hot air from her breathing gently tickled Calvin's nerves.
But Calvin remained steadfast in her assault.
He awkwardly scratched his cheek and said, ”Well, I guess... you're beautiful?”
”What kind of response is that? Just be straightforward!”
”Am I beautiful or not?” Ashlynn fumed.
”Y-Yes... You are beautiful...” Calvin almost immediately replied.
Ashlynn gave a small smile.
Pushing her arms against her breasts, her assets became even more pronounced and bigger as she asked once more, ”Then in that case, do you want to... do it... with me...?”
Peng!
Another dull thud rang out.
