[R18] My father is a pervert – “My Father Is a Pervert” Chapter 170 Lionheart Arena 3 [English]
byLuke was stunned, he didn’t expect me to be so rude suddenly.Showing some uneasiness.
“I’m sorry, my master.” he said, “I will do my best to win glory for you.”
I choked at he’s words, and I felt the anger rushing to my chest. I couldn’t help shouting at he in a low voice: “What glory, what do I want with that! Why do you always make your own decisions? What’s the use of my wanting your victory?!”
Luke paused when I scolded him, remained silent for a second, and said in a low voice: “But I have nothing else to give you. Me and my honor, that’s all I have.”
I was momentarily speechless.I suddenly realized that we were in different time and space.When I traveled through time, I was always in contact with superiors, whether it was Uther, Leon, or Goya. I had to carefully beg, flatter, and plan to seek my survival, my favor, and the rewards I wanted.But Luke is on the contrary. For him, I am the superior, and he must dedicate himself to me and devote everything he has to seeking my favor.I understand this feeling very well, so now that I heard he say these words, my heart, which had been stagnant for the past few months, suddenly became sour and soft, as if it was coming back from the dead, and the anger that had just arisen suddenly disappeared.
When I spoke again, there was no anger in my voice. I just forced myself to be cold: “You have to save your life first before you can claim victory, right? Why not get a new pair of armor?”
“We have a competition tomorrow, so we can’t make it in time.” Luke replied.
Why is it too late to buy a pair of armor?I didn’t quite understand. I looked around and happened to fall on a suit of armor placed in the stall. It looked like he had a similar physique.
“That one doesn’t work?” I pointed.Luke couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“I can’t afford it,” he said.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I was enlightened.
In this era, knights had to rely on their own fiefs to make a living.However, except for the knights with prominent families, most of the knights had very little land. There were also knights who were promoted from civilians and had no land at all. They needed a lot of money to maintain their horses, weapons, and armor.As a result, most knights lived in embarrassment.This is attributed to the strategies of the cold weapon age, which encouraged knights to go to the battlefield more and plunder the spoils of war.And when there is no battle to fight, the knight’s survival becomes very problematic.With the output of the thin fields, he and his tenants had to make a living, maintain equipment and horses, and provide for their own social expenses – after all, knights were considered low-class nobles and needed to participate in social activities.After not fighting for several years, many knights were already destitute, and some were even deeply in debt and had to sell their fields, then their horses, then their armor, and finally their weapons…
I vaguely remember that Luke was a knight promoted from a commoner. With such a background, he probably didn’t even have land.Now that the empire has entered a peaceful era for almost two years, he will probably have a hard time.This can be seen from the clothes of he and he Yicong. He is quite neat and fit. As for he Yicong, his coat and trousers are obviously a lot smaller and have several patches on them.
Poor knights and townsmen grab handfuls from the streets, and everyone is used to it, including me.It’s only now that I actually hear him say “I can’t afford it” that my heart suddenly hurts, realizing what kind of situation a noble and beautiful person like him is in.I suddenly felt a painful embarrassment, my face turned red, I was a little flustered, and I shouted in a low voice, “Nonsense! It’s just a pair of armor, how can it be more valuable than a human life?” Then I turned around and ordered the boss: “Take that armor off and give it to him!”
What I said is that I don’t know the suffering in the world.In this era of backward production, a pair of ordinary armors was equivalent to the price of dozens of cows, and refined ones were even more valuable.Therefore, many knights’ armors were inherited from their ancestors or plundered on the battlefield.When the blacksmith heard what I said, he couldn’t help but raise his eyes, wanting to mock me for being a little girl who overestimates her own abilities. But as soon as his eyes fell on me, he was stunned. He felt that it was so dazzling that he couldn’t look directly at it. When he came to his mouth, his words became stuttering: “This…armor…this…should…”
he spits out a number.I grew up in a palace and have no concept of money. I only know that whatever I want, Leti will do it for me.I glanced back at Letty, and sure enough, her expression didn’t change, and she stepped forward to settle accounts with the boss.
I turned my eyes back with satisfaction.At this moment, a slender and graceful hand reached out and gently held my upper arm.
“No, sir.” In front of me, Luke showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and stopped me: “I can’t let you do this for me. I can figure it out myself.”
What a joke, what can you do to still insist on wearing worn-out armor and go into battle to fight for your life against others?
I didn’t want to listen to his excuses and ordered him: “Stop talking. When you go on the field tomorrow, just wear this.”
“Sir…” He’s face turned red and he refused: “I can’t accept this…”
“That’s enough!” I became willful after not seeing you for a long time and interrupted him impatiently: “You always said that you obey me and that everything about you belongs to me, right? Now I want you to wear this. If you don’t want to listen, then don’t say that to me again, and don’t come to see me again in the future!”
The sadness of the past few months, as well as the subsequent church renovations, have cast a cold layer on my beauty. Now when I look serious, I really have the arrogant attitude of a noble, but my voice is still childish and does not match my appearance.Luke was speechless by my words, remained silent for a moment, and finally bowed his head and obeyed.
“As you wish, my master.” he whispered.
I hummed.Turn around and leave with Leti.
The next day, Luke caused a sensation when he appeared. His brand-new armor faced the scorching sun. The silver-white stainless steel was decorated with golden patterns, which shone dazzlingly. It also showed that he had broad shoulders and a tight waist, making him stand out.The Lionheart Arena was completely drowned out by the screams of women. Before Luke even made his formal appearance, flowers and handkerchiefs were being thrown down like raindrops.
This untimely noise made the announcer’s head spin, and he racked his brains to appease the audience and get the game back on track.At this time, Luke rode forward. He was unfazed and expressionless at one end of the track. He raised his hand to hit his breastplate according to the etiquette of knights, and lowered his head to pay tribute to the audience.So, everyone saw my handkerchief that was still tied around his wrist.
The screams on the field seemed to have changed and were mixed with a lot of crying.Although he was the trigger point of the commotion, he remained calm and composed. He put on his helmet and raised his spear to indicate that he was ready.When the announcer saw it, he simply gave up controlling the hysterical women and waved randomly to signal the trumpeter to start.The loud horn sounded, drowning out the noise of the audience. Luke and his opponent kicked the horse in the belly, raised their spears high, and charged towards the opponent.
At that time, I was sitting in the private room, still turning my eyes away and not daring to face the confrontation.I tilted my head and thought, I tried my best to save his life, which can be regarded as compensation for him.
