Chapter 138 – SHALL WE DANCE 2(3)
“The Marquis Rosaline Barba is coming.”
People’s eyes turned to the executive gate. While watching the dance, our gaze also turned to Marquis Rosaline Barba. A man I had only heard of but never met face to face was opening the door and entering.
“Uh,”
As soon as I saw him, I seemed to know what the ‘northern nature’ the coachman was talking about. Marquis Rosaline Barba was a human who seemed to have brought the harshness and loftiness of the northern mountains as it was. He was 2M tall, and his skinny face he gave off the impression of a statue carved out of stone. His limbs were very long, so he walked swayingly, and the people around him who saw him moving were making faces as if they were seeing a creature that couldn’t exist.
How could I have missed such a remarkable human being? On the first day, it was clear that Marquis Barba had arrived first and we hadn’t seen him. Marquis Barba ran a hand over his thick lips and scanned his surroundings. People hesitated at the sight of the golem as if it were about to offer a sacrifice. Marquis Barba made his way through the crowd and climbed to his seat his, the distant seat of honor, and sat there quietly.
As soon as he sat down, people gathered around Marquis Barba. Even the clumsy marquise’s presence faded when people covered it. As I watched the noisy crowds of people, this is why I didn’t notice. I alone understood.
“Marquis Barba. I am a merchant from the trading city of Esta…”
“The backbone of the slave trade in the eastern region…”
Amid countless questions and desperate cries to appeal to herself, Marquis Barba sat with her eyes closed like a statue. As if it were an annual event every time he came to a ball, the other nobles a little further away looked at Marquis Barba but did not speak to him.
I too was watching Marquis Barba to talk to him. Since I didn’t bring Robin with me today, I had to say goodbye with Sieri. Even from a distance, Sieri trembled as if the appearance of the Marquis Barba was burdensome. I said while holding Sieri’s hand tightly.
“Sierri. Don’t worry. We’ll just talk.”
“What if I misunderstand you, Lucius?”
With a very high probability, the remarks made by the Marquis Barba were not misunderstandings, but accusations based on facts, but I did not bother to bring up such a story. If Sieri looks good on me, isn’t that enough?
People who worked hard to appeal to themselves were falling exhausted from their pool. Marquis Barba opened his eyes only after the people had left and slowly drank the tea in front of him. He felt like an adult playing house when his pot lid-sized hand his held the teacup. I got up holding Sieri’s hand just in time for the people to leave.
The people who saw me moving started giggling again. Marquis Barba also looked at me. He was a man with skin as white as marble, like Lady Rosalind Eva. The traces of the years melted intact on his face, which was more suitable for the expression pale as snow than white.
Deep wrinkles like the canyons of the Dragon Mountains were hollowed out on his face. He was sipping tea and watching me approach. I didn’t expect to attract people’s attention to this extent, but it seemed that the closer I got to Marquis Barba, the more people’s curiosity grew. Marquis Barba looked at me with a furrowed eyebrow.
I sat down on the chair across from the Marquis. Sieri cautiously sat next to me, and Marquis Barba stared at me and remained silent. At a glance, he was n’t that strong of a person, but the murderous look in his eyes was no joke.

It seemed that with a blow to the head, he could be beaten like the aristocrat he met the other day. I sat for a moment in the capital and then lowered my hand. They said that people want to own things when they see something, and want to use it when they have strength.
“Nice to meet you, Rosalyn Barba Marquis.”
Marquis Barba nodded at my greeting for the first time. He put down the teacup he was holding in his hand and stared at me. He tilted his head and opened his mouth.
“I said what I said in a letter.”
Did you say that civilized people are more rude than barbarians because they never have their heads split with an ax? Rosalind Barbara acted like a man who believed he would never die. I wanted to crush that trust along with Marquis Barba’s arms and legs, but I decided to endure it one more time.
This wasn’t my personal problem, it was Robin’s marital problem. As long as my patience allowed, I was going to do my best.
“I was a little surprised when I read it because it was so determined. I would appreciate it if you would think about it one more time.”
“I have nothing more to say. How could I give my granddaughter to someone like you?”
At those words, the surrounding nobles were in an uproar. She seemed to think I was trying to master the fat woman fetish. I shook my head and replied.
“Marquis Barba. Please be precise. My wife is also by my side, and you are giving me Lady Rosalyn Yuba. I want to arrange a marriage between my knight commander Robin and Lady Rosalyn Yuba.”
“It doesn’t change anything by saying that. Knights tend to resemble their master’s temperament. You must be aware of the fact that your pilgrimage and career are not so clean, so how do you make such a request?”
The Marquis of Barba stumbled on my female pilgrimage. It meant that the leader of the knights under a human who was a mermaid, an elf, a sodomy, and a nun would be a decent human being. I said.
“My Knight Commander, Robin, really likes Lady Rosaline Yuba.”
“While doing so, he must have wanted to take advantage of it. So far, all the brutes who have approached my granddaughter have said the same thing. The granddaughter is very beautiful. The granddaughter is very charming. I married my granddaughters, but none of them made my granddaughters happy.”
“My Knight Commander, unlike me, is a very simple and naive person. Although he doesn’t have the kind of bravery or strong determination that Marquis Barba wants, he is a man with enough passion to make Lady Rosalin Yuba happy.”
“Are you going to continue this story? I can’t feel the nutritional value. A young boy from a prestigious family is perfect for Yuba’s groom. I intend to give my granddaughter the happiest marriage before I die.”
“Then Robin is the perfect fit.”
“It seems to be endless… I will…”
“Marquis Barba. Would a wealthy and high-ranking aristocrat really want to marry Rosalind Yuba because he loves her?”
Marquis Barba frowned. He glanced around, then lowered his voice and asked me.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s literally. How can you tell the difference between true love? If you can prove it with just one word, Robin will sing a serenade to Rosalyn Yuba. I don’t believe that money will be the measure of love. Marquis Barba. Wouldn’t you like at least Lady Rosalind Yuba to meet Robin and let her decide?The Marquis must have loved too.Incompletely burned love continues to ignite and torment people.Give Robin one chance so that he doesn’t burn to death.Give it.”
“Huh.”
Marquis Barba snorted. I thought about getting a blow to the top of my head with a real capital, but soon gave up. It was because the height difference was so great that it seemed that the movements would show through. Marquis Barba said.
“Good.”
“Yes?”
“I’ll give you one chance. I don’t know how to coax my granddaughter, but since you came all this way begging me, I’ll give you a chance. But keep in mind, if no good words come out of my granddaughter’s mouth, It’s over. Don’t bother me with this again, okay?”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“I’ll put a separate contact at the address I sent the letter to. Then…”
So the prom that day ended without a single dance. Siri looked at me with a worried face and asked.
“Are you really going to be all right?”
“It’ll be fine.”
I had a plan I went right back to the inn. Robin was sitting on the first floor with her hazel face and her bouquet in her hand. Just looking at her face her, she had the feeling that she had not gone to the concert hall to see her young lady, Rosalind Yuba, but rather she had a big fight with a prostitute who looked like Rosalind Yuba.
“Robin, talk to me for a minute.”
“Yes? Yes, I understand.”
Robin shook her head like someone who had just woken up in response to my words her. I dragged Robin up to the second floor. Making sure others weren’t listening, I explained my plan in a low voice.
“Isn’t that… Not too dangerous?”
“This is the best. You went to the concert hall and learned your face, right?”
“It’s my first time going today, so I’m not sure yet.”
“For now, keep going to the concert hall and get to know Lady Rosaline Yuba. Leave the planning part to me, and make sure to come to the meeting place. Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes! I see.”
After the conversation, I left Sieri and left the inn. When the driver called for a drink, he climbed into his carriage, limp like a wet puppy.
“Coachman. I’ll buy you some expensive snacks, so please.”
“Oh, is there a question?”
Unlike the coachman I hired before, this coachman followed me like a dog when I told him to buy me a drink. So, although it cost a little extra, it was very useful for overtime work. The place I headed to was the inn with A.A. And Erina.
It boasted a magnificent figure befitting the accommodation of the specially invited warrior and the elf princess. I lightly passed the security in front of the inn and asked for an interview with A.A.
After waiting for a while on her first floor, Ai came down while adjusting her aristocratic attire. She didn’t seem to fit in her own attire her. When she saw me sitting at her table waiting, she stunned and backed away.
“No, warrior, why are you afraid?”
“…It’s not.”
A.A naturally sat in front of me, but she couldn’t make eye contact with me. I wanted to make fun of her, but there were more important matters than that.
“Hero. I have something to help you with.”
“What is it?”
When I spoke in a serious tone, Ai changed her expression and listened to me seriously. No matter how nasty a person is, they will help if they need help. That was her greatest strength her and her greatest weakness her. I said with a smile.
“Wouldn’t you like to rob us?”
