I took the time that was given to explain the situation towards Elina, as his older brother doesn't mean any harm towards me and what she had heard me yell at that time was all a big misunderstanding.
After a few minutes of explaining everything, Elina finally understands what had happened.
Yet she's still kinda mad against her brother Caen. That was because his brother had assumed I was a prostitute...
"I am terribly sorry Elina, I didn't mean to think that way of your friend here."
"You shouldn't apologize to me... Yei was the one that deserves your apology right now!"
"There's no need for that, Caen already said that before... also all of this was just a huge misunderstanding between your brother and me," I said that to Elina to calm herself down.
This was the first time I saw Elina react this way, I always see her smiling and see her frowning like this... It's totally something that I didn't expect at all.
"But still Yei, I need to hear it with my own ears... despite the fact that he had already apologized to you before."
I do not why Elina insisted on hearing it again but shouldn't she trust her brother a little bit. They're siblings after all and surely Elina knows her brother's behavior better than all other people. Unless Caen is a womanizer and that kinda makes sense why Elina wanted to protect me.
Still, I doubt that as if Caen was a womanizer, surely he wouldn't say that thing towards me. He looked very serious when he said that he doesn't want me to sell my body and would help me secure a job if I really need the money.
So I don't think Caen is a womanizer at all...
*Growl!*
While both of them were kinda arguing, my stomach produced a rumbling sound.
With that, both of them looked at me immediately as I tried my best to hide my embarrassment right now. As it's not that ladylike for me to produce that kinda sound.
"You see... this is-"
*Growl!!*
But it's become much louder and happens more often as I am quite hungry already, my stomach is empty as I haven't eaten anything at all since this morning...
Hearing that once again, both of them started to give me a playful smile and let out some laughter... It was really embarrassing for me.
But because of that, both of the siblings had to stop the argument so I realized that the rumbling sound of my stomach had helped them resolve the issue.
Caen then said, "Let's stop this pointless argument as your friend here might pass out soon if she doesn't get any food."
"Yup! So I'm going to the kitchen to bring out the food. Could you bring Yei to the dining room please?"
"Sure but hurry up as your friend here might not wait that long..."
Elina then rushes back to the kitchen while leaving me alone with Caen in this place. Caen then told me to follow him as he would be showing the dining room.
I simply nod as I didn't dare to say anything as I am still embarrassed by the scene that I had made a few seconds ago.
Because for a lady to act like-
Wait a moment!
Why the heck I started to think about that... I shouldn't have cared about that sort of stuff at all. I had indeed become a woman but I still had the soul of a man. It's embarrassing of course but for a man, it shouldn't be that big of a deal at all.
Does this mean that I had somehow developed a womanly instinct and behavior? If it was true then I would be damned, because as time goes by I am sure that my real self as a man would be overwritten... At that time, I will be a real woman known as Yei Rylla.
Well, that's only my theory for now but I do hope that it would not happen at all. Because I don't really like to fall in love with a man, it would feel weird... as it would be total-
As I was so immersed in my own thoughts, I didn't notice that Caen was actually talking to me right now. I could barely hear what he was talking about but luckily I heard the last sentence that he had utter. That was a question regarding how Elina and I met.
"To be honest, our encounter was kinda special as I saved Elina from a pack of wolves in the field before."
Hearing that, Caen was kinda shocked...
I was kinda confused why he reacted like that as if he didn't know about it. For a second there, I realize that I might have spoken something that is a secret... as Elina might have told this incident towards her family member at all.
Elina kept all of this within herself so that no one would worry about the incident...
"Really!? You're saying that you beat the wolves."
"Yes, I did."
"That's impressive Yei... to think that you could fight. You're clearly different compared to the girls that were in this town..."
"Wait a minute... So is the shocking reaction you made because of that?"
"Of course, it's kinda rare to see a woman able to fight and no wonder why you're interested in the knights' armor."
Did I think differently from seeing Caen's reaction, I thought he would be worried... Maybe because he didn't hear that part as he was focused on the part where I said that I had slain a bunch of wolves.
"Didn't you hear that your sister Elina was attacked by a pack of wolves?"
"Well... all ends well, right. So there's no need for me to worry about that anymore but of course, she would be reprimanded for her reckless action." Caen then paused for a bit, "But I don't think that's necessary as she already learned the lesson when she was attacked by the wolves..."
