Chapter 19 (1/2)
The progression of the events froy till him and his followers' departure took less than fifteen minutes
At the 'friendly' advice of the ized and ordered his followers clear the filth on dick At last, they carried dick away and left the doors of the Lithur manor
Judging from how hurried and silent their departure was, it was evident how embarrassed they were about the incident The , seemed to be indifferent to their emotions Instead, she sent them off with jovial smiles
”Safe travels, and the Lithurs will alelcome your presence here”
Accius glared at the madame and walked out of the manor without a word
The Fulners left just like that
Benja internally Of course, he held down his expression and did not show his happiness
This was probably the first time since he teleported to this world someone stood up and saved him when he was hopeless As a responsible adult, he are that he had to be independent, but it still felt great to tide things over without putting in any effort
Would this mean that he did not have as much of a bad luck as he did before?
Regardless, he would never be willing to be hit by a chamber pot At least he escaped that now, and that in itself orthy of a celebration
However, it did not take hi to realize it ay too early for him to be happy
”Benjaht? Are you the one behind all this?”
After the Fulners left, the ained his stature as the an to speak and question Benjamin in a stern tone
Benjamin's heart dropped, and he quickly sent a SOS look towards the madame
The nored him
””
Game over
If she wanted to help, she should have helped hiive up halfway!
What was that!
Clearly, Claude saw through Benjauilty conscience Claude emitted an unsatisfied ”h scary After a brief glance at the madame, he continued to berate Benjamin
”Don't think that this is over What have I taught you all this while? What happened to your pride as a noble? I'll ignore the fact that you ran away from home, but you made a mess within the first day you returned! Can't you let us stop worrying about you?”
Benja closely until he heard a particular sentence He had a question mark in his heart after that
Running away from home?
What was the situation here? Why did he feel like he missed a chapter and a plot point?
”Hey, what's with the running away from home? Did Benjamin run away from home?” Benjamin was perplexed, so he asked the System with telepathy
”Nope,” the System was certain
”If so, what's the matter now?” Benjamin continued
”I have no idea,” said the System
”You” Benjamin choked on his words, but this was not the first time he did that Thus, he recovered swiftly and chided
”Why do I need you?”
The Systeme in the future Let's breakup”
””
There must be a virus in the System
He regained his sense of reality and had a brainstory of events He quickly realized that the only possible reason for Claude's accusation of hi away from home”
Could it be that no one knew that he was kidnapped, and they assumed he just ran away?
Watson, I found the blind spot!
shi+t, no wonder no one in the house came to comfort hi at the edge of death? What rong with this family? How could they not know that their son was kidnapped? How could they assume he just ran away from home? The church probably contributed to this confusion, as they most likely hid the truth from the Lithurs in order to cover Michelle's tracks
No wonder! No wonder he had never gotten a friendly face around the house! No wonder everyone was hostile to him!
No matter what, he did wander around the valley of death just recently Hoould they treat him if they knew about this?
Once he thought about this, he started to explain
”I didn't run away from home! I was”
”Shut up! Since when you learnt how to lie, you brat? Huh, do you think I'm stupid?” Claude cut him off mercilessly His tone revealed that he would not allow any explanations, ”You thought of lying to me? 'Did not run away from home' If you didn't, where were you for the past few days? Don't tell ot yourself kidnapped!”
””
That was correct, I really was kidnapped!
Benjamin wanted to exclaim, but if he did, he would be beaten to death
fuck, another line stealer
Claude's anger ay more dramatic than what it was before His e one-upped by the madame when outsiders were present As Claude could not throw a fit to the madame, the only unfortunate person to take the toll was Benjamin
There was no use for Benja when his father was this furious
He could only face thelow
As expected, Lady Luck was only with hi partner was Misfortune after all
Thus, Benjamin determinedly stood in front of everyone and was shouted at by Claude for fifteen h what exactly Claude yelled about When Benja room was frozen They did not move nor speak, their head bowed low, and only the servants were nervously cleaning up the filth
After the bombardment of screams and shouts, Claude finally seemed to slowly calm down He looked at the quiet Benjamin and said after a brief pause
”Go to the cellar and think of what you've done You will not be fed until you've ads!”
