092 “(Quick Travel) Meat Eating Journey” Chapter 91

Chapter 91 Western Fantasy‧Whoring Temple Knights (4)

The next day Margery still didn’t take off her glasses.

She looked at Alex’s slightly frowning expression anxiously, and summoned up the courage she had been brewing all night to whisper: “I, I’m not used to it…” The voice was so low that Margaery didn’t dare to look up, so she wasn’t sure whether Alex heard it clearly.She held the fork tightly in her hand, like a prisoner awaiting sentencing, and mechanically and quickly stuffed the bread on the plate into her mouth.

After a while, she heard the man across the table say calmly: “Eat slowly, be careful not to choke.”

Margaery breathed a sigh of relief in her heart – her glasses were saved.

After all, she was a Countess who had received aristocratic education for more than ten years, and etiquette had become something engraved in Margery’s bones.Although she was nervous, she still wiped out her breakfast gracefully.Besides, she didn’t want to appear rude in front of Alex, even though they had only had breakfast three times in the six months since their marriage, and two of them were in the presence of the Duke of Malbrandt.

But… Margery frowned at the onions on the plate. It was not a good thing to appear picky when someone was around.Silently holding her breath, she swallowed those little purple things with a strange taste with a grimace. When she looked up again, she found that Alex seemed to be looking at her.

Margaery quickly lowered her head and nervously squeezed the fork in her hand.Alex suddenly stood up, and the silver knife made a sizzling sound on the edge of the dinner plate. He dropped the napkin in his hand somewhat rudely and said coldly: “Let’s go.”

Eh?Wait, I haven’t finished eating yet… Margery looked at the remaining salad on the plate, but she didn’t say anything and followed Alex silently.

When they sat opposite each other in the carriage, the two people just stayed quiet and didn’t speak.

Margery wanted to ask Alex why he sent her to work on a whim, but when she saw the man’s stern face, she swallowed her words cowardly.Sometimes she really hated her own timidity, but there was no way to improve it.Although she was already married to that person, at such a favorable time and place, Margaery still couldn’t express her feelings.

She and Ye Xuan are completely different people. When she first time traveled to this timid girl, Ye Xuan felt a little uncomfortable.This is also normal. Even if the system has a strong empathy function, if a naturally extroverted person suddenly becomes taciturn, it will be like a medical rejection reaction, and the traveler affected by empathy will still feel uncomfortable.In previous exams at the Time Travel Academy, there were even cases where the rejection reaction between the candidate and the host was too great, leading to a failure of empathy.

But the strange thing is that, except for something amiss at first, Ye Xuan’s consciousness quickly accepted the empathy from the magician Margery.She even had a feeling that Margery’s sensitive and low self-esteem originated from the deepest feelings in her heart, and they were infinitely amplified, thus creating this weird and lonely “Yexuan”.

Ye Xuan has always had doubts about this examination system. After all, she was tricked into it by Gu Yincheng. As she experienced more tasks, this newly developed system also showed more differences.Why did Gu Yincheng send him in? It couldn’t just be his bad taste.

No matter what, it’s useless to talk more. The most important thing at the moment is to find a way to stop Alex from staring at her – Margery almost trembled under the man’s focused gaze.

Margery didn’t know what Alex was thinking. Could it be that he was not familiar with his wife, so he wanted to observe her carefully… Little did he know that Alex was also very dissatisfied. He noticed that Margery had been in a daze since getting on the carriage.Although the girl kept her head lowered, Alex could feel that she was absent-minded.

The corners of his lips moved slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then coughed twice and said calmly, pretending not to care, “You seem to be afraid of me?”

“Eh?” Margery was startled, and suddenly jumped up like a frightened rabbit. She hurriedly waved her hands, “No, no, how could I…how could I be afraid of you.” Just kidding, being treated like a savage beast by his wife would make a man angry if he knew about it.In order to enhance the credibility of this answer, Margaery also forced a smile, but unfortunately it was so stiff that people knew she was lying at a glance.

Alex looked at her for a while, until the smile on the girl’s face could no longer hold, he looked away, and whispered with some frustration: “Forget it.”

The carriage stopped at just this moment, and Margaery didn’t hear the man’s whisper. She stood up in a hurry, just wanting to leave this place that made her restless.But Alex stretched out his arm to stop her. She was still a little confused when she saw Alex get out of the car first and stretched out his hand towards her in the car.

This action left Margery in a daze, and it wasn’t until Alex raised his long eyebrows that she realized what Alex meant.For some reason, Margery’s cheeks instantly became hot. She silently told herself that this was just Alex’s gentlemanly behavior. She timidly stretched out her hand and placed it on the man’s hand.Alex held the petite jade palm with his backhand, and with just a slight exertion, he ushered the girl out of the carriage.

This was just the most common social etiquette between men and women. The moment her hand was grasped by that warm hand, Margery’s heart beat like a drum.Because he has been practicing swordplay for many years, Alex’s palms have a lot of calluses. They are not like the pampered hands of a nobleman at all, but the rough feeling is close to the girl’s skin, but it is comfortable and warm.

While she was stunned, many passers-by gathered around the carriage.Originally, this carriage belonging to the Farman family was very eye-catching, but a tall and handsome man walked out of the carriage, which immediately caused people to talk about it.Some sharp-eyed people recognized that the blond man was the famous chief knight of the Temple Knights, and the discussion became even louder.The Light Cult has a special status on the mainland, and the knights affiliated with the temple represent powerful warriors who protect the faith and are a force revered by the people.As a leader among the Temple Knights, Alex has countless admirers. He is like a star on the continent. People of all ages admire and love him, regardless of gender.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering, and some were even so excited that they wanted to step forward, Margery involuntarily stepped back and squeezed herself tighter.She was not used to these fanatical gazes, and she even felt suffocated by being surrounded by so many people.What to do, the girl thought anxiously, she seemed… almost out of breath.

“Don’t be afraid.” A man’s deep voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Alex tightened the trembling little hand in his palm, and put his left hand across the girl’s thin shoulder, wrapping her tightly in his arms.”Everyone, please give way.” He politely and quickly protected Margaery and walked forward. In a short time, he passed through the crowd and entered the campus of Volantis Academy of Magic.

“Okay.” Alex let go of his hand, “It’s okay now, you can go to class quickly.”

Margaery turned her back to him and nodded, neither saying goodbye to Alex nor saying any words of thanks.Seeing her walking forward without saying a word, Alex couldn’t help but feel depressed. Was he so terrible?

Suddenly, the corner of his eye glanced at the girl’s earlobe exposed from her long hair.Margery’s earlobes were round and small. They were as red as two red cherries and looked really cute.

A passing student hurriedly walked past Alex. He glanced at the tall man strangely, and saw the corners of the man’s mouth raised with a solemn expression. He seemed to be looking at the gray figure in front of him who was about to disappear——

He showed a gentle smile.
