Chapter 16 (1/2)
Although Benja room and looked at his father
”Father, I have returned”
The ed man who sat in the main seat scowled quietly at Benjamin However, his eyes did not have even a hint of happiness Instead, they were eyes of accusation, and Benjamin felt distressed by that look
What even happened here?
Claude Lithur was Benjaical father Benjamin had detailed memories of Claude Claude was the head of the household, the Duke of the Kingdoh status within the noble hierarchy in the Kingdom of Helius, and was typically a conservative noble
Conservative nobles would pledge loyalty to the king, where they would in turn pledge loyalty towards the church alongside the king The matters of social class were of absolute iation of the peasants from the nobles This also meant that they were very prideful, and they folloas called the 'honor of the nobles' In other words, this individual was very archaic and feudal
From a personal perspective, Benjamin's father was also a strictThis illustrated his sternness as a father, as he had high expectations of his eldest son Benjamin, but Benjaet a good look from him
He usually would tell Benjamin… Oh, no, he typically would be too lazy to even talk to Benja Benjamin when he was still a child, so when his repriave up
Even though Duke Claude was extremely disappointed at Benjaer when he saw Benjamin, he was still a reasonable person The furious expression he had right noould only surface when Benjamin misbehaved
Misbehaviour? What did he do? Benjaht in bewilderment
Suddenly, the unfaolden hair pointed at Benja the tension in the air, ”It's hi that… thing!”
Benjaly confused after he heard this
”Who is this?”
Just to be cautious, Benjaive any reaction in real life Instead, he consulted the System by telepathy
”Hmm, he probably would be dick Fulner Reht, and the one who you splashed him in the face with bodily excretions,” the System answered
Upon hearing the System, Benjamin paused and studied the person, and could finally feel some familiarity from his face
The nose that pointed towards the sky and looked eerily si was the exact replica of the poor sod last night It was just that this person had feces all over his face last night, and Benjanize him without them now
At this point, Benjaies, I couldn't recognize you without the shi+t on your face today” However, he knew that it was not the time to be sarcastic, and if he really did say that, he would lose control over the situation Thus, he sed his words with difficulty
He finally understood the situation before him The flow of the process was that this Mister dick was a guest at his house last night, but he started sleepwalking and met Benjamin, who just woke up Benjamin then used the chamber pot to hit hier, which hy he got his father over to the Lithur nity he could This as brewed just like that
They came to find blame! Dread filled Benjamin
He realized the difficult grounds he was on
After much contemplation, Benjamin did not rush to explain when dick pointed at hiinal Benja reprimanded after a mistake, with his head drooped low and his face stubborn
Explanations would only make matters worse He should first observe his father, Duke Claude's stance, before anything else
However, Duke Claude's attitude was not favorable
”Benjamin, was this the e educated you on the manners of hospitality?” he said with disappoint on the side of principle instead of his son
Benjahed inwardly
He already knew from the System that Claude was not the kind of person that would protect the flaws of the fae was in theto side the outsiders instead of himself
Upon reflection froot from the System, none of the people here had the tendency to cover up the failings of their own There were no rivalry between families that was often depicted in the novels, nor the custo their family members when outsiders were present Akin to the Western aristocrats, they interacted in harmony under the illumination of the church, without any conflicts
The western ideology on families is so feeble
Without the support of the family, Benjamin's circule session, where everyone was against him
It look liked he would have to go through some hardshi+p
When he thought of this, he immediately caved
”Oh,I did was unintentional! I'ive me!”
Even he could feel how genuine his act was
His nobility was already well trained at this point
He considered this carefully It was better for hiize first before Claude could force him to do so This would improve Claude's impression on hie of the situation He believed that if his attitude was portrayed perfectly, the Fulners could not find another reason to pick at him anymore
As Benjay, Claude's expression was coloured with a hint of surprise His fury was slightly soothed after that
After all, Benjamin's behavior noas morenor i ridiculous like teleportation From the perspective of the Lithur family e for the better could have come sooner!
Claude's toughness could be tey, but as the victier was not tamed
”Just because you asked for forgiveness does not ive you! Dreay!” dick Fulner's attitude was still harsh
Even the Systereed, ”Exactly, what use would the police be if apologies were that effective?”
””
Benjaazed at Claude Claude looked like he wanted to stay quiet and let the younger generation resolve the dispute
Benjamin could only ask, ”What then do you want me to do?”
