NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4 - Marquis Frozevitnir
The director ran over and shook the man.
“Are you okay, Marquis Frozevitnir?”
Hearing that name, a cold sweat ran down Brigid’s back.
“…Marquis Frozevitnir? This pervert?”
Brigid pointed her finger at the man and asked the director.
The director nodded.
“I’m not a pervert.”
“You must be kidding!?”
The director shook his head.
Brigid curled her fingertips and hid them behind her back as if they never existed.
“Tell me it’s a lie…”
The director looked sad, then closed his eyes and folded his hands together.
“…May God forgive Brigid-sama…”
Brigid’s face turned pale.
(I did it…! I defeated His Excellency, Marquis Frozvitnir, the strongest soldier in this country…!!)
Marquis Frozevitnil was a man of striking appearance and immense strength. At the age of 27, he held the prestigious title of marquis, was a master swordsman, and served as the marshal of the Kingdom of Gimlen. He was deeply religious and also led the Holy Knights unit under the cathedral. Despite his popularity, rumors swirled that he was celibate, causing him to reject all marriage proposals.
(I mean! In the original story, he was the one who pushed Nisha to the brink of fatal injury! If it weren’t for him, Nisha-kyun wouldn’t have been defeated by the main character!!)
Brigid’s favorite character, Nisha’s enemy, caused her to glare at him.
However, upon seeing the fallen man, her shock was evident. The perpetrator was none other than Brigid.
(No! What should I do? Will I be punished for being disrespectful? Compensation? Demand compensation? How much will it cost? Maybe even… eliminate him and bury him? Yes, that way, Nisha-kyun will be safe…)
Brigid was lost in confusion.
(But then, we’d have to eliminate all the witnesses, right? For that…)
She looked around frantically but spotted Nisha.
(…No, I can’t let Nisha-kun see that!)
Brigid tentatively poked Marquis Floresvitnil’s shoe with her toe.
Suddenly, Marquis Frozevitnil got up.
“Hiiii!! Please forgive me!!”
Brigid apologized while shielding Nisha.
The man brushed the grass off his body and cracked his neck.
(I’ll be killed!)
Brigid shielded Nisha with her back and looked up at the man.
However, the man spoke bluntly with no expression on his face.
“What’s going on? Nothing happened.”
“Huh? Didn’t you faint?”
“No such thing.”
“No, you were defeated by me-”
Just as Brigid was about to say that, the director hurriedly covered her mouth.
He looked at Brigid and shook his head.
(What the nobleman says is absolutely true, right?)
Brigid was taken aback. It seemed Marquis Frozvitnir, also known as the God of War, wanted to pretend the incident never happened.
“What’s your name?”
Brigid reflexively said her name.
“My name is Brigid Grimbursti.”
“…Brigid Grimbursty…”
Diarmid glared at Brigid with fierce golden eyes.
Nisha clung to Brigid.
The man looked at Nisha.
“Nisha, what is the relationship between you and that young lady?”
Nisha grumbled and looked at Brigid.
(This old man just said, “Become my adopted child!” He wants to adopt me, right? If this continues, this old man will take him away! In that case…)
Then, he swallowed as if he had made up his mind.
“Well… Mom!!”
Brigid felt a pang of excitement when Nisha called her “mama.”
“Mom? Is that your mother? Your mother is-”
Nisha shouted, interrupting Diarmid’s words.
“Mom! Mom! Mom!!”
Saying that, Nisha hugged Brigid tightly.
“Huh… Nisha Kyun…”
Brigid suddenly felt overwhelmed.
Marquis Frozevitnir looked at Brigid with contempt and walked away.
“You, I’m not a pervert. I’m Diamid Hrozvitnir. Remember that.”
After saying that, the man turned and went inside the orphanage.
Brigid looked at the director.
“…What do you think he means now? Does it mean I’m going to demand compensation? Oh, I don’t have any money! I just got fired!!”
Brigid was in despair.
Nisha clung to Brigid’s skirt tightly and looked up at her worriedly.
“Are you okay?”
Brigid smiled, trying not to make Nisha worry.
“It’s okay! I just need to make more money! Don’t worry about Nisha-kun!”
The director let out a deep sigh at Brigid’s naive response.
