Chapter 20

Noele couldn’t believe her ears. The words rang in her mind— like the loud tolling of a bell, reverberating throughout her body. She wanted to stumble back, even though she was sitting down on a chair. It was like she was slapped across the face. It was like she was struck to the soul.

She blinked a few times, trying to break out of her stupor. But she couldn’t steel herself. Not when the lens which she viewed the world was cracked, and all she saw was broken glass.

Before her sat Nicholas the Noble Knight. An S-ranked adventurer, but more than that, he was the very man she and her sister had admired. He was the inspiration behind their adventurer Titles.

When he showed up here in Wolfwater, Noele had been ecstatic. However, now, she wished she never met him. Because he was nothing like the man she thought he would be.

“Seriously,” Nicholas continued as he leant back in his seat. He swept his gaze over Bucky’s Out of this World Restaurant, and he wrinkled his nose when he saw the chicken resting in the corner of the room. “I can’t believe you’d willingly go out of your way to stay in this backwater place.”

He shook his head as Noele just looked on, barely processing his words. She was stunned into silence. There were so many things she wanted to say in response. But she couldn’t even muster up the strength to speak.

The Noble Knight sighed, rubbing his temples. “I understand that this is your home, but surely you don’t plan on staying here for the rest of your life, right?”

He stared expectantly at her. That managed to prompt a reply from the blonde girl, even though she was still in shock.

“I— I mean, I am just visiting right now, but…” she trailed off. Slowly, she got her wits about, and she stared uncertainly at the man sitting across from her. “You’re joking, right?”

She hoped this was all a joke. That it was a prank he was playing on her. Unfortunately, the truth hurt, and she was living in reality.

“There is nothing to joke about, Noele,” Nicholas said as he held her gaze, his voice unwavering. “You call yourself the Noble Spellsword, but there is nothing noble about living in this squalor. You cannot grow if you are surrounded by those who are not at least your equal, can you?”

Noele bit her lower lip, stopping herself from lashing out with any unnecessary remarks. This was Nicholas the Noble Knight. He was not just some jerk like Jax the Forsaken Archer. Surely he had to have some rhyme or reason behind what he was saying, right?

“That’s true… but only to a certain extent. I have met plenty of people who are lower-leveled than me who have helped me grow stronger.” The Noble Spellsword explained, shaking her head.

She was mainly thinking of Amelia when she said that, however the statement also applied to a plethora of others. Unfortunately, instead of even giving any credence to her statement, Nicholas just scoffed.
