Chapter 20 Offended

"Tenaia, my daughter, tell me if this is true!"

Dr. Bella looked serious. Her daughter almost killed her future husband. This was really no trivial matter.

"Dad, I really didn't know this problem was so serious," Tenaia struggled to stick her head out and said, "Today I saw these two guys dueling with the officer in the town. The officer said that they were just using the wooden stick to cheat for the military rank, and he offered a large sum of money. So I planned to cheat the wooden stick and exchange it for money, and when my husband comes back, we will buy the land and never do that hard-working job again!"

"Thank you so much for your kindness!"

I yelled and slapped her hard on the head, causing Tenaia to scream in pain.

"Tell me quickly! Where did we put our flag?"

I rode on Tenaia's back and grabbed the back of her neck. Now I only needed to apply force to make her suffer.

"I put it in my room, please let me go!"

Tenaia looked really painful at this time. She closed her eyes tightly and her facial features were twisted together. Even old Dr. Bella, who had always been practicing medicine and prescribing medicine, couldn't bear to see such a tragic scene.

"Luka, for God's sake, girls are ignorant, please forgive her for once."

It was Dr. Bella who asked for forgiveness, but whether to forgive her or not was between Andrew and me. I was going to keep holding her down and said to Andrew, "Andrew, go to her room and find the flag!"

Andrew understood and went back into the house. Under the guidance of Dr. Bella, he came out in a short while. The solemnity on his face was swept away, and in his hand was the regiment flag that he had been thinking about. I also breathed a sigh of relief, but I was afraid that this girl would let go and run away. It would be difficult to find her in the dark, so I grabbed her wrists and lifted her up.

"It hurts, doesn't it?" I said proudly, "Compared to when I fell, this is much lighter!"

"sorry."

Tenaia's apology stunned me for a moment. When I looked at her face again, a crystal teardrop crossed her dusty pretty face. The tear calmed me down. Did I do something wrong? I asked myself, but how could I give myself an answer? I was a little panicked and quickly looked up to ask Andrew for help, but he was only concerned about his joy of getting his flag back, and had no time to care about me.

Let go, or not, I know I hurt Tenaia, but it's her fault, isn't it? But why, when she said sorry, I felt like I did something wrong. I quickly let go, Tenaia struggled a few times, turned around and slapped me hard.

In the blink of an eye, I felt a burning pain on my face. At the same time, my heart felt like it was hit hard. The self-blame in my heart was like a mountain pressing down on me, making it hard for me to breathe. I watched her turn and run towards the house, but I was in a dilemma whether to catch up with her or not.

Tenaia was seen grabbing the corner of the clothes of Dr. Bella, her father, at the door. Her messy hair could not hide her tearful eyes at all, but her eyes were filled with anger and confusion. She looked at her father like that.

"Is this the husband you found for me?"

After saying that, she didn't take any more drastic actions. Instead, she let go of Dr. Bella, turned around and went into the house sobbing.

Doctor Bella supported Prasvia, who had fainted, and said nothing. She just carried the old woman into the house with great effort. She was really old and her physical strength was not as good as before. For such a thin old woman, Doctor Bella still stopped every three steps and gasped from time to time.

"Let me help you."

I came to my senses and rushed forward to help Dr. Bella, but just as I was about to approach Prasveia, he suddenly opened my hand and glared at me, yes, glaring at me with his red eyes. I knew that my action not only offended Tenaia, but also offended him.

"You two should go now. I think it was a mistake for me to take you in!"

Doctor Bella restrained herself, and after struggling to help the old woman into the house, she did not forget to throw out the sword I had just thrown into the house, which fell right under my feet. With a "bang", Doctor Bella closed the wooden door, leaving only Andrew and I, standing stupidly outside the door, silently enduring the strange looks from the guards on duty and the sparse passers-by coming and going.

"It seems we have angered our only friend, Luka."

Andrew is now behind me with the military flag in his hand. He complained in confusion, "It was obviously their daughter who made the mistake first. Not only did she almost make us lose the flag, she almost killed us!"

"It's my fault, Andrew," I whispered, "because I hit her. I hit Tenaia."

"So what?" Andrew felt incredible after hearing this. "How can a woman be obedient if she is not spanked? This is the same with Doctor Bella. He didn't think about the fact that her daughter was eating and drinking at home while we were digging mud in the cave. Oh, now she is unwilling to do so after being spanked. What kind of rule is this!"

"That's enough, Andrew," I interrupted him. "Now is not the time to curse at us. Moreover, Dr. Bella treated our injuries unconditionally and provided us with food and lodging for half a month. Logically, he has done his utmost. Now he beat Tenaia in front of our parents. If it were me, I would not forgive such behavior."

After hearing this, Andrew remained silent. It seemed that he felt that what I said did make some sense. However, to me, this statement had a bit of hindsight, and I didn't want to say the last sentence.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"So what do we do now?"

"What else can we do?" I sighed and said slowly, "Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to sleep on the streets."

As I said that, I brushed off the dirt on my body and led Andrew away quickly.

Although this winding path looked a bit uneven, I was familiar with the location after walking for more than half a month. I headed south and soon arrived at the seaside. The sea in front of me was the Mediterranean Sea. The sea water regularly hit the beach on the coast. Various fishing boats were parked on the beach. The night watchmen stared at us alertly. A bright moon in the sky emitted a faint light, shining on the sea and our chain mail, flashing a little silver light.

"It seems we will just stay here for one night."

I smiled bitterly, pointed to a meadow outside the village, and asked Andrew for his opinion.

"Well, listen carefully here." I didn't expect Andrew to agree immediately. Through the bright moonlight, I could see that he was very satisfied with it. "I have been in the army for several years. I have experienced all kinds of environments. Luca, we are Roman soldiers. We are not afraid of hardship!"

"Ha! For Rome, you would be willing to eat bugs!" I said jokingly.

Lying side by side, the sea breeze blowing from the sea gently brushed my cheeks, and a feeling of drowsiness came over me. Soon, my eyelids gradually closed as if a lead weight was hanging on them. The loving smiles of "Mom and Dad" flashed through my mind, accompanying me into sleep.
