Civilization Guardian Front

It was like someone hastily covered his mouth and let out an exclamation from between his fingers.

Seeing Selka's puzzled face, Chios opened his mouth to draw the girl's attention back:

"Is it strange that you have a crush on the chief knight who has both beauty and strength, and a personality that is not difficult to get along with?"

There are indeed many people who want to pursue my sister, but there are few who admit it as straightforwardly as you...

Selka thought helplessly.

"So you proposed to be the butler just to get close to your sister?"

"No, it's mainly to repay the kindness. Admiration does not mean love. Facing a cold and cold flower like Alice, even if I am as conceited as I am, I still feel pressure..."

Having said that, Chios smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I am an ordinary man, and I can't get rid of the vanity of wanting to be admired and relied on by my lover. From this point of view, I am afraid that Your Excellency Alice is not suitable as an object of admiration. If I don't do well to burn myself Mentally prepared, it is better to keep a distance."

The youth's words resonated strongly in Selka's heart.

"So you too..."

She couldn't understand this feeling.

Although the starting point of "like" is different, the final destination is all self-ashamed.

The elder sister's light is so dazzling that the people around her are dimmed, and they may even get burned if they get too close.

Even Mr. Chios couldn't help but retreat...

Not surprising when you think about it.

Although my older sister praised Chios-san's swordsmanship several times, saying that he was stronger than a senior knight, but to be honest, the older sister who was promoted to a paladin at a younger age would be an exaggeration.

The so-called pales in comparison.

Mr. Chios, who is unique in talent, also lost his proud capital in front of his more outstanding sister.

Thinking up to this point, Selka stared at Chios, suddenly adding a sense of sympathy.

At this time...

Knock clang!

With the sound of the key being inserted into the door lock and twisting, the front door was pushed open by the golden gauntlet.

Alice walked into the house with a very ugly expression on her face.

Chapter 860 Two? Don't fight for me (guilt)

stare...

Sharp eyes pierced from the direction of the table host.

Chios stopped his hands holding the knife and fork.

"May I ask what I did wrong, Your Excellency Alice?"

"nothing."

Alice gritted her teeth and answered coldly.

"I understand."

Chios didn't pay much attention, nodded and continued to arrange the dishes.

Seeing this, the female knight's blue eyes were instantly covered with a layer of frost.

The index thumb twisted the steak knife and slowly rotated it, as if looking for a suitable holding angle for throwing.

Selka, who was sitting on the left of the main seat, said in a low voice:

"That, sister..."

"What's up?"

Alice held the knife and turned to ask her sister.

Under the candlelight of the brass chandelier, the wavy and serrated steak knife on the exposed edge reflects a chilling chill.

gurgling...

Selka rolled his throat and swallowed his saliva.

"You don't seem to be in a good mood today?"

"Is there? It should be your illusion."

No, no, sister, you usually don't know how to play with knives when you are waiting for the dishes to be served, you always hold the napkin on your lap with your hands in a proper manner...

Selka muttered inwardly.

After a while, she still decided to muster up her courage.

"I know that Mr. Chios is here to be the housekeeper, but anyway, this is the first time he has come to our house. Sister, don't you often say that you appreciate Mr. Chios and hope to invite him to be a guest one day , that being the case, we..."

"If you think about it, he's actually not that good."

"Huh~~~?"

Selka opened her eyes wide and stared at her sister in disbelief.

Alice hated iron and said:

"Although he looks good, he will get used to it after a long time. His swordsmanship is barely above the standard, but he is arrogant and rash. In addition, he is seriously lacking in self-motivation. He retreats when he encounters a little difficulty. Trying to break through...it's the worst."

Hearing this, Selka was completely dumbfounded.

You didn't say that before.

Having said that, if you hate someone so much, why worry about him and ask him to be your housekeeper...

Totally unreasonable.

"Really strict..."

Chios came over with a wry smile on his face, and brought the dishes of roast veal, beef kidney, and potatoes with red wine sauce to the table in front of the two ladies.

"Indeed, if compared with Your Excellency Alice, I am far inferior in all aspects, and I am very sorry for disappointing you."

Hearing this, Alice exerted force with her right hand.

Snapped!

Selka's eyelids twitched when he saw several cracks appearing on the ivory handle of his sister's hand.

What's wrong with my sister...

Mr. Chios clearly did nothing wrong.

"I think that Mr. Chios can handle copper difficulty commissions by himself, and he can even do the job of housekeeper so well, which is very...very good."

Selka said, her face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Therefore, I failed to notice the change in Alice's eyes.

The pupils contracted, as if in shock and astonishment when being betrayed by the closest person.

"Thank you, Miss Selka, your warm words have brought me great comfort."

Chios bowed to prevent the uncontrollable smile on his mouth from being noticed.

However, Sister Ziberuk's attention was not on him at the moment.

With a sharp knife, Alice cut the veal in the center of the plate into two pieces.

"You are so kind to him."

"No, my sister was too harsh on Mr. Chios."

"You don't understand." Alice shook her head and replied:

"Qios is not limited to what he told you. A senior knight is not the end point for him. He has the potential to become a hero and a paladin. He shouldn't be content with mediocrity..."

"What's wrong with being willing to be ordinary?"

Thinking of his own situation, Selka's tone became more and more excited:

"Because my sister is a genius, no matter what she does, she can do everything with ease, so I can't understand the feeling of others running desperately, but still can only watch my sister's back go farther and farther away! Do you have to put in a thousand times and ten thousand times of effort to get yourself With bruises all over your body, is it correct to ignore and catch up with your sister?"

Faced with the sudden emotional outburst of her sister and the questions she threw, Alice was a little at a loss.

"That's not what I meant, Selka..."

She wants to appease each other.

However...

The two lines of tears that slid down her sister's cheeks made her fingertips tremble.

The outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

"I'm stuffed."

Selka stood up from her seat.

The shadow of bangs covered the girl's expression at this time.

ugly...

Obviously I don't want to complain to my sister in such an annoying tone...

I know clearly that my sister has worked harder than anyone else in order to protect herself...

"I'm sorry, sister..."

After apologizing in a hoarse voice that was choked to the point of losing her voice, she turned and fled the place.

Alice didn't stop, but just sat there in a daze, without saying a word.

bump!

It wasn't until the door of the restaurant was pushed open that her arm hanging alone in the air slowly fell down as if losing strength.

"..."

Chios watched this scene in embarrassment.

Oops, played off.

Originally, he planned to laugh at the bickering between the sisters, and when the two turned their heads to ask him who was right and who was wrong, they would say "don't fight for me", so that the artillery fire would be concentrated on him, which was the perfect ending to the joke.

He did notice Selka's complex emotions towards Alice, and deliberately used this loophole to resonate with her.

Unexpectedly, the pressure accumulated by the other party has already reached the critical point.

So much so that with a slight push by myself, the situation ran wildly in an uncontrollable direction.

what to do now...

There are two options before Chios:

1? Go after Seruka.

2? Stay in the restaurant with Alice.

Of course, this is not a rigid linear script. Dealing with one of them first does not mean that the other person's CG cannot be recycled in the future.

Having said that, as the culprit who caused the incident, Chios still felt somewhat guilty for choosing between the two.

The time of hesitation did not last long.

Chios, who knew the necessity of acting decisively, said:

"Your Excellency Alice, Miss Selka is still young, and her emotional ups and downs may be uncontrollable for a while. As far as the current situation is concerned, I don't think it is suitable for you to come forward. If possible, please allow me to go to condolences on your behalf. "

"..." After a short silence, Alice nodded.

"Well, you go."

After bowing politely to his employer, Chios walked out of the restaurant.

Out of the corner of his blue eyes, he watched the young man leave.

Alice smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I don't look like I need your comfort..."
