[R18] My father is a pervert – “My Father Is a Pervert” Chapter 171 Old City [English]
byThe competition only ended in two days, but I thought I had done what I could, so I no longer wanted to pay attention to this national event that I was not interested in.I didn’t go for the next two days, but I later learned that during the finals on the last day, the king arrived at the competition venue to award the final prizes to the champions.
I didn’t know whether I was sorry or lucky to miss Uther, and then I heard the servant report that Luke had brought me a gift. He handed it to the porter and left. It was his victory prize, a small statue of a pure gold knight.
The concierge was kicked by Letty last time and didn’t dare to refuse Luke’s things anymore. This gift was handed to me layer by layer, and then it was my turn to worry.
The rewards from the tournament are the main source of life for the knights.The statue was melted into gold, enough to support a family for two to three years.Luke gave it to me with the intention of returning the armor to me, but considering the financial gap between us, how could I accept it?
I thought about it for a long time, but finally I had no choice but to let Leti prepare the carriage, and visited Luke’s mansion the next day.
I knew Luke was living in embarrassment, but I never imagined that he was in such a difficult situation.He cannot afford to live in the aristocratic area, so he can only rent in the market area of the old city.This two-story stone building was in disrepair, its appearance was dilapidated, and there was a mess in the backyard.The landlord’s family of five is crowded on the first floor, and Luke and He live on the second floor.
Nobles seldom set foot in this area, so my arrival caused a sensation in the market area.Especially since my carriage was so luxurious, and I myself, even with my cloak on, was still too conspicuous.After spending some time, I finally stood in Luke’s residence, frowning and looking at this dark and simple space.Luke was not here at this time. I heard that he was on duty at the palace as usual.He was in the room on the Lhasa Road, but since I put down the hood, the young man was dumbfounded, and his answers were stammering and unclear.
The landlady, who shamelessly followed me upstairs, saw the opportunity, entertained me ostentatiously, and ordered Lazarus to do this and that without any courtesy.I didn’t like this woman’s attitude of flattering others and ignoring them, so I didn’t pay much attention to her. I didn’t expect that when she saw that I didn’t display any aristocratic dignity, she became more and more aggressive and advanced and retreated without restraint. In the end, she made me cry and verbally accused Luke of being stingy and arrogant, and oppressing his family…
Lhasa Lu, who was ordered to fetch water, happened to come in. He suddenly became furious and rushed to argue with the landlady.This young man was only ten years old. He could not be said to be a cunning person in the market. After a few words, he was speechless and his face turned red with anger.And the woman became more and more proud, and her words were harsh and vulgar, which was unpleasant to listen to. In the end, she even began to falsely accuse Luke’s master and servant of seducing her family members…
I listened expressionlessly as this cunning woman became more and more unseemly as she talked. I looked at this gloomy and humble residence, and then at the young man Yi Cong who was about to cry in unfitting plain clothes. In my heart, I suddenly thought of the Luke I had met when I was a child.
At that time, I was playing in the mud by the pond, and suddenly I looked up. I saw that face that was as beautiful as the spring day, and the heart-warming green eyes, which amazed me for two reincarnations.He is such a beautiful person, such a noble and inviolable person, but now, he is buried deep in the ugliness of life. Regardless of sin or despicability, they can come up, pollute him, trample on him, drag him into the abyss until he is completely abandoned, and then leave him at the bottom of the filth, to silence and rot…
At this moment, I seemed to see myself, who had been resisting desperately and persisting hopelessly, but was so small and powerless, being overwhelmed and crushed… A cold and sorrowful feeling rose in my heart, as if I was back in a nightmare. Unconsciously, my face turned pale, and my hands tightly grasped the hem of my skirt.At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, interrupting the farce in the room – Luke was back.
He came back from the palace, wearing uniforms and weapons, looking heroic and majestic, instantly lighting up the room.He should have heard a lot of extremely insulting words outside the door, but when he came in, his expression was calm, but his green eyes lost their warmth. He glanced at the landlady lightly, and the woman’s aura immediately disappeared, and she stopped talking.
“Lazarus,” Luke called his servants in a deep voice: “If you want to entertain distinguished guests, please ask Madame Thenardier to come out.”
The landlady’s name was called, and she suddenly became arrogant. She put her hands on her hips, tried to hold her chest high, and put on a posture, but her voice had no confidence: “Wait, wait a minute! The snacks I just served cannot be included in the rent… and the water this kid brought up! It was also from my water tank! In total, it costs five dollars!”
This woman could be so vulgar and despicable, which made Luke feel ashamed and angry, but he had the dignity of a knight and could not compete with a pariah, especially in front of a lady.He had to swallow his anger and just wanted to send her away quickly. He said to Lazarus: “Give it to her.”
“She, this is blackmail!” Lazarus said anxiously: “Sir! She…”
“Give her the money!” Luke’s voice was louder, revealing a trace of anger, suppressing the boy’s words.
Lazarus was so angry that he had tears in his eyes, so he had to turn around to get the money, but after searching for a long time in the money bag, he only had four coins.Upon seeing this, the landlady quickly snatched the four coins from Lazarus’ hand, shouted, “I still owe one more money, and I will pay it later,” and disappeared out the door.
Even a calm man like Luke couldn’t help but feel ashamed when faced with such an ugly situation.After he calmed down for a while, he had the courage to turn around, salute me, and said: “I’m sorry, my master, I shouldn’t have let she disturb you.”
After finishing speaking, he looked around and couldn’t find a decent place for me to sit down. He could only sigh and said apologetically: “Sir, as long as you summon me, I will rush to your side immediately. You shouldn’t come here, it’s too humiliating for you.”
Why, a sinful person like me is being humiliated here?What about he?
“What are your orders, my master?” Luke asked me when he saw that I remained silent.
“I don’t want you to live here.” I said suddenly.
Luke was stunned and looked directly at me.
“I don’t want you here!” I repeated word by word, and gave him an order: “It doesn’t matter where you want to go, uptown, aristocratic district, it doesn’t matter where. Money is not a problem, I will pay for you. I want you to leave now and never have anything to do with this place or these people again!”
