Roland's face already turns very red when the clapping sounds still fill the dining for a couple of minutes. It's the first time he gets humiliated like this in his life. His father's name as one of the Earls in the Erathia Kingdom, which govern large territory seems has no value here. People laughing and mocking him one after another, this something that Roland can't accept. On the opposite, for me, Roland's suffering feels so refreshing. I enjoy how his face keeps change colors due to his anger, shame, and any other feeling. But that alone is enough to pay what he had done to Henry, Eliza, and residents of Harvard castle. I'm waiting for what he will come up after getting humiliated by food and brains challenged.
"Well, Mr. Roland…maybe counting is not your forte. You can ask another subject if you are not satisfied with the counting result. You said before you learned many things in the Royal Academy, right?"
I'm waiting for him to make another stupid challenge again. Want to challenge me with music? You're a thousand years too early to challenge me with that subject. Want to challenge me with literature? I just take any poet from my previous world to confront whatever poet you can make. Want to challenge me with military strategy? I just recite Sun Tzu 'the art of war' and you'll be beaten in instant. Well, he still has a chance to win if he challenges me with this world's history, but I see Roland Easton is not someone who can study diligently. I bet he must be sleeping in class or skip the class when he had history class.
"I'm not come here to show off my education in Royal Academy. I just want to see my fiancé, just call your ugly sister here, will you?"
Pui! I almost spat when hearing his answer. Did he forget who shows off with education in the Royal Academy in the first place? And now he said he doesn't want to show off, what a glib tongue he had. So, I lost a chance to humiliate him once again in knowledge matter. Now, what's he planning to do? I guess he's not stupid enough to do brute force to solve his problem. A person who is capable of scheme murder by makes it like an accident surely not stupid enough to uses violence blatantly. What kind of sly scheme he still had in his hand?
"Excuse me? But you see our guest not even leave the dining hall, how could you say the lunch is over? Moreover, I think you should not call my sister as your fiancé again"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY SAYING THAT?"
Roland Easton furious roar echoing in the dining hall because my words, it seems his patience already go thinner.
"I already propose your ugly sister as my wife and your father accepted it. And now you say she's not my fiancé?"
"Well, you did propose my sister and your proposal accepted by my father. But you haven't made your proposal finalized by giving any dowry to my sister. Your proposal is incomplete and therefore I said you're not eligible to say my sister is your fiancé"
Roland's sneering when hearing my explanation.
"Huh…is that so? are there any other proposals for your sister then? Is there any proposal with a dowry for your ugly sister? As long as there's no other proposal, my proposal still legit until I bring the dowry"
This bastard….he also knows engagement custom too. That's true if there's no other proposal for my sister unless there's another proposal with dowry and unless Roland didn't give the dowry, his proposal still considered valid.
"I don't see you have a good intention in your proposal, Mr. Roland. Your proposal already accepted a long time ago, yet not even a single silver coin comes as dowry"
"HAHAHAHA!"
Suddenly Roland Easton laughed out loud. Is there anything funny?
"I see…I see. It seems to make this grand lunch you've spent much money on it, and now you in short of money. And because your ugly sister is not here, you try to leech some money from me by using dowry as an excuse, huh?"
What the hell! It's true that to make a grand lunch like this, surely need money especially for the salt which currently sold at a high price. But I can't say that we don't need to spend any money on the salt since we can make it ourselves. Too dangerous to reveal such secret to people like Roland Easton.
"Mr. Roland, we're not that broke that needs your money just to make this lunch dishes. I just questioning your sincerity with your proposal since you never show any intention to give my sister her dowry"
"Hahaha…do you think I'm a fool? With the current salt's price, this must be a big burden for you to spend money to buy salt just to make your dishes taste good, right? Please don't your sister as an excuse to get money from me, you damn money-leecher!"
Huh? Did he just think that I will embezzle my sister dowry since he thinks my sister is not here? But before I can reply his words, suddenly a loud female sound is roaring through the dining hall, so loud that shocked everyone there.
"MY BROTHER IS NOT AS LOW AS YOU, ROLAND EASTON!!!"
That's my sister's voice!
What happens to her? Didn't I already tell her that I will handle this matter? With such action, didn't she reveal herself that's she's here? Didn't she scare with this Roland guy since he enters the dining hall? Even I also shocked by this unexpected development. What are you doing, sis?
I turn my head to my sister seat and see she stand up from her chair, and with big strides walk heading to Roland Easton. She stops her steps in front of me and directly confronting Roland Easton.
"HOW DARE YOU CALL MY DEAREST BROTHER AS MONEY-LECHER!!"
My sister Eliza stands up in front of me, puffed and huffed because the anger she felt toward Roland Easton. Wow, to think that her anger can suppress her fear toward Roland and now she stands face to face with Roland Easton without show slightest fear toward him. I hope she did not say something unnecessary later.
