YM778.TV Chapter 207 - Awkward Situation
They chatted about yesterday\'s topic accompanied by the scent of wildflowers, making them slightly blushed and drunk along with several people being seen cooking, pulling grass, all of this they did elegantly and precisely.
It was as if they were deliberately ignoring the sight of a group of royal troops who were closely guarding or rather securing the area around the horse-drawn carriage near the village square.
Even so, some villagers still glanced at them curiously; even Veronica, who looked gloomy, also gave her attention. However, seeing the tense and serious expressions of the soldiers, neither the villagers nor the mercenaries questioned their actions.
After all, the soldiers have saved their life and their village also lucky to get additional reinforcement. In their eyes, they thought the soldiers were still wary of a sudden attack, and now their actions were the same as securing their superiors from unexpected attacks.
The villagers only glanced at them at the moment before returning to their activities. In contrast to the indifferent villagers, the mercenaries were warily watching this situation as this is their mission, especially Ray, who looked conflicted.
Meanwhile, in the horse carriage, which was being heavily guarded by Vesta\'s soldiers; Contrary to the atmosphere outside, the room seemed very quiet with a young boy and a middle-aged man sitting on chairs, staring at each other.
"Explain what happened in the forest at that time," Vesta asked, his tone firm, leaving no room for Laura to lie nor negotiate; even his eyes were locked on every expression Laura made.
On the other hand, Laura, who felt the tremendous pressure from Vesta again, didn\'t tremble anymore and calmly replied, "As you wish, Sir," she replied and began to retell the incident from her point of view.
While focusing his hearing, Vesta, who was slowly hearing Laura\'s story back frowned, the more Laura spoke, the more she became like Desmond; not only the words they used, they even had the same expression now.
Meanwhile, not far behind Vesta, Diana is still looking at Desmond with her beautiful glittering orange eyes, which made them looked like a raging fire.
Diana looked at Desmond as if afraid of missing the slightest change in his expression. But after staring at him for a while, her expression changed from excitement to disappointment.
Is this true? Diana thought doubtfully. In her eyes, Desmond was no more or have changed to the same as the other ordinary children she saw on the streets.
Weak and lacking neither a domineering aura nor a leader, Diana commented while looking at Desmond with half eye.
Unknowingly, Diana\'s tense gaze made Desmond turned his head and glance at her again. She then saw him smile faintly before turning his attention back to her father.
Instantly this made Diana freeze on the spot, fixing her gaze on Desmond.

*heartbeat*
What is that? Thought Diana.
Recalling the smile Desmond at her, her heart suddenly beats so fast with the feeling that it was as if she wanted to quickly turn her face away and plant it in a hole.
Diana did not understand; even now, she is still confused about her feelings for Desmond. She couldn\'t tell if this was liking for love or liking for Desmond\'s power? As she pondering, she unconsciously was still staring at Desmond with a blank mind.
Suddenly her body moved on its own, with her head shifting on her own to the side; it looked as if she was turning her face away accompanied by a hot sensation on her cheeks.
This made Diana bewilder.
On the other hand, Desmond didn\'t notice Diana\'s strange behavior because, currently, Laura\'s story is nearing the end.
After hearing the explanation from Laura, Vesta, who looked nonchalantly, suddenly became serious in an instant; this time, he looked at Laura and Desmond in silence before finally opening his mouth.
"Thanks for your cooperation; with this, I can process properly and report it to the guild and kingdom." Contrary to his expectations, Desmond was slightly surprised by Vesta\'s sudden change in attitude.
The change in Desmond\'s expression didn\'t escape Vesta\'s eyes, but he chose to ignore it, "Even though the guild is neither part of a kingdom force nor an organization that can be controlled, it would be a different matter if the dead members were citizens of the North Kingdom.
"That\'s why I also..." Vesta halted as he suddenly straightened his seat and lowered his head with both hands pressed against the table. "I apologize for the negligence of my soldiers so that almost took your life."
As Vesta spoke loudly and his apology sound sincerely, Desmond looked at him in disbelief as he had been acting wary from the start.
For a while, Desmond\'s mind blanks as he didn\'t understand what was going on. In his opinion, judging from Vesta\'s previous suspicions, Vesta should have been locked up he and Laura or give them a soldier to monitored their action even more closely.
But after rethinking it, Desmond reached a conclusion.
Ah, in the end, I\'m still a weak child in their eyes too, Desmond muttered inwardly.
Desmond opened his mouth, wanting to reply but at a loss as to what to say. Saying it\'s not a big deal? That\'s tantamount to being arrogant. Saying that he\'s okay with this? It was tantamount to thinking that he had no value in their eyes.
In the end, Desmond is seen opening his mouth with a conflicted expression and frowning. For the first time, he found this situation beyond his expectations.
This creates a moment of awkward silence. At the same time, seeing this situation, Desmond immediately gave a status check.
