Chapter 261 Madam, I am not a casual person

As the night progressed, Lorne discovered a secret about the lady.

She gets drunk very easily and has a bad drinking habit...

"What did I do wrong that he would do this to me?"

"You are not wrong, you are not wrong. There is no need to punish yourself with other people's mistakes."

"Why can he go out and mess around while I have to live in fear and endure it in silence every day?"

"So you have high moral standards."

"You were caught in bed with someone, and you dared to attack me?"

"Worse than beasts!"

Under the flickering firelight, the noblewoman in a gauze skirt waved the wine jug in her hand, swearing and accusing, taking a few sips from time to time, constantly brewing her emotions;

A listener sitting nearby echoed the comments repeatedly and added a few indignant remarks from time to time to create an atmosphere, just like a supporting role on the stage. However, his frequent rolling of eyes proved that he was probably being forced to do the job.

Don't try to reason with an angry woman, especially one who is drunk and needs to vent.

She had turned her own husband into a widow, and Loen didn't want to get himself into trouble because of an unfamiliar Argive man.

Besides, that guy doesn't sound like a decent person from what he did.

Finally, after holding the wine jug and cursing for half an hour, the noble lady named "Kela" finally calmed down, drank the last sip of wine in the jug, lay down beside the fire contentedly, and fell asleep.

It seemed that because the previous movement was too intense, the already loose dress fell a little from the lady's smooth old shoulders, revealing layers of snow-white and bottomless ravines.

Luo En took a glance and felt a little amused.

Madam, you really don't treat me as an outsider.

Loen complained inwardly for a moment, then pulled out a blanket from the magic circle and covered the lady with it to hide her revealing beauty.

However, just as he stood up and was about to leave, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

“Don’t… don’t go…”

In her sleep, it was hard to tell whether she was confessing or begging, the lady curled up her body, tears seeping from the corners of her tightly closed eyes.

Lorne tried to pull his arms back a few times, but that only made the lady hold him tighter.

At the same time, emotions of panic and anxiety continued to accumulate on her face, as if they could wake her up from her sleep at any time.

Luo En's heart softened and he sighed. He chose to sit down nearby, closed his eyes gently, and waited for the dawn to come.

~~

The next day, the early morning light penetrated the shadows of the woods and fell on a pile of embers that were emitting wisps of blue smoke.

Sensing the changes in light and darkness in the outside world, Loen, who was in meditation, slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?"

The lady came to the campsite holding freshly picked wild fruits in her hands, and her well-groomed clothes were as elegant as ever.

Luo En smiled slightly, without mentioning what happened last night, and said a few polite words.

"Good morning, ma'am."

"Yeah, you too."

The lady nodded slightly in response, and the corners of her mouth that were originally tense relaxed quietly. She looked at Loen with a hint of intimacy and satisfaction.

I thought alcohol was just an ordinary drink and I could easily control myself.

Unexpectedly, when she was really drunk, she showed a more unbridled and unrestrained drunken state than those children.

Fortunately, the only person around her who knew about the situation was considerate and sensible, and she didn't do anything out of line. Otherwise, this scene would have really made her feel ashamed.

"Ma'am, I'm relieved to see that you are okay. If there is nothing else, I'll take my leave."

"etc!"

Luo En made a few polite remarks and was about to turn around and leave, but unexpectedly the lady in front of him blocked his way and spoke in a deep voice.

"I need to go back to Argos. How about you escort me there?"

"Well, I have some things to take care of in Thebes."

"That's just right on the way."

The lady spoke calmly in a tone that left no room for doubt.

Luo En was a little amused and confused. Why did this lady seem to be dependent on him?

At this moment, the noblewoman gazed at the young man from Thebes and said proudly: "Take me to my destination, and I will give you whatever you want!"

Hearing the other party's boast, Luo En couldn't help but laugh: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't think I want anything else."

Hearing the refusal in those words, the lady's face darkened and she snorted coldly while gritted her teeth.

"You don't know what's good for you!"

Having said that, she stood up angrily and walked into the depths of the jungle alone.

However, after taking a few steps, the lady's body swayed, and she supported herself on the tree trunk with one hand, coughing violently.

Spots of golden-red liquid overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

Luo En saw it from afar and couldn't help but frown.

It looked like this lady was seriously injured. And the distance from here to Argos was not short, so it was normal to encounter some monsters and robbers. She might not be able to handle it in her condition.

What's more, she had just lost her husband, so even if she returned to her hometown, her life might not be easy.

No wonder you want me to escort you...

Lorne pondered for a moment and sighed helplessly.

Forget it. Anyway, whether going to Thebes or Athens, I have to pass through the Argos region. It doesn’t matter if I give her a ride on the way. I might as well consider it as a good deed.

Having made up his mind, Loen quickly filled the ashes, followed the staggering lady in front of him, reached out to help her up, and the expression on his face seamlessly switched to a gentle smile.

"I mean, it's no problem for me to send you home, but you don't have to ask for anything in return. After all, I didn't help you much before, and I caused you a lot of trouble..."

The lady's expression gradually softened after hearing this, but her tone remained stiff.

"It's for you, just take it, don't worry about the rest!"

"Yes, yes, shall we go?"

Loen smiled and nodded in response, then summoned the divine horse and chariot he had received from the Queen of the Sea, and invited the noble lady beside him to take a seat.

Descendants of God?

When the lady saw this, her eyes flashed and she nodded proudly.

That's better! Otherwise, if I give too much, this little guy won't be able to bear this blessing from heaven.

At the same time, Loen, who was sitting in the driver's seat, also began to murmur in his heart.

Not surprised?

Is this lady not just an ordinary Argos royal?

Kela, stabbed her husband to death with her own hands...

No, he had no impression of the name or the event, and he was not very familiar with the history of the Argos region...

Loen was puzzled and could only suppress his doubts temporarily. He drove the bronze chariot, carrying the mysterious lady, to the Argos region.

Although he didn't understand the whole story, he was now looking forward to this "reward".

~~

After galloping all the way, the chariot arrived at the outskirts of a city at nightfall.

As the two horses slowed down, the lady in the car suggested in a deep voice, "Let's rest in the suburbs. I don't want to deal with strangers."

Loen, who also had a secret, naturally agreed to this.

So, the two of them chose a dense forest nearby, lit a bonfire in the open space, prepared food, and took a short rest.

Soon, the delicious dishes filled her empty stomach, but the lady always felt that something was missing.

Then, her eyes fell on the wine jug on Loen's waist, and she suddenly realized.

"Give me the wine."

"You want more?"

Thinking of the lady's drunken state last time, Loen felt a little scared.

The lady rolled her eyes at Luo En and snorted coldly.

"It's just a simple drink, what's the fuss?"

After saying that, she reached out and snatched the wine jug from Lorne's waist without saying a word, pulled out the cork, and drank from the bottle.

He didn't look like he was drinking, but more like he had a hatred for alcohol.

As for the results…

The ambrosia honey wine brewed by the god of wine himself will subdue anyone who is stubborn.

"You deceived me with sweet words, and once you got what you wanted, you wanted to kick me away. Forget it!"

"Um…"

"He's had wives and lovers in the double digits, and he even didn't let his great-granddaughter go! Shameless!"

"Uh-huh……"

"You say I'm mean and cold-blooded, but it's because of him that I'm forced to do so. If I expose the bad things he did, he won't have an easy life!"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes..."

As usual, Lorne cautiously agreed, and finally coaxed the cursing, crying and noisy lady to sleep.

After making sure that the other person was sleeping soundly, he quietly reached out his hand and wanted to take the wine jug that the lady was holding in her arms.

However, as soon as the rope was pulled, the lady reacted instinctively and climbed up with her hands like a snake.

As a result, not only did Loen fail to get the wine jug back, he even sank half of his body into a warm and rich quagmire.

It’s really big.

But ma'am, I'm sorry, I'm not a casual person.

Loen forced himself to remain calm and tried to pull the drunk lady off him.

Unexpectedly, the more he resisted, the more excited the other party became.

The snake-like body twisted restlessly, wrapping tighter and tighter, and began to erode the remaining half of the victim's body step by step.

Seeing that he was about to get into trouble, Loen quickly threw down the wine jug and backed away.

Then, he looked at the noble lady who was lying on the ground with the wine jug in her arms, and as usual, he covered her with a blanket and made a decision in his heart.

This woman has a terrible drinking habit, so don't let her drink anymore.
