Chapter 14
“Arianne!”Eve raised her voice and shrugged when she saw the guests startled by the loud noise.“I’m sorry. I must have a loud voice.”“No, Eve. But can I order a new menu? I don’t know why, but I think the food Eve makes is special.”“It must be herbs, ma’am. Please wait. I will wash my hands.”“Okay.”Eve smiled and walked to the kitchen.The seafood platter made by Eve was served with fresh peppermint, which is good for digestion.And the ice tea that came with it was served with peppermint and lemon balm.It was a good combination for a day when it hot.That’s what made Eve’s restaurant special.Eve observes the customer’s appearance, behavior, and drinking habits, and adds herbs to the food that are good for symptoms.Herbs are plants that are also used medicinally, so it was natural for them to be good for the body.I don’t know why, but the herbs Eve deals with are particularly effective.‘It was a funny word.’Jesse, whom we met at Vibraze, said excitedly.That must be Eve’s special ability.Eve, who laughed at the thought of Jessie for a moment, brought the menu and explained the menu to the old lady one by one.Just as I was having a pretty pleasant conversation with the old lady, the door opened again with a rattle.He came in with Arianne…“Uh, who is that?”“I don’t know, madam.”The young knight who came in with his ears caught in Arianne’s hand was blushing and bewildered.“Arianne! Who is that person?”Arianne shook her head in response to Juliet’s question, who had come to eat with her friend.“I do not know. I think we should find out from now on.”‘Uh…. Isn’t Arianne’s gaze at the young man too frightening for that?’Juliet swallowed the words.Eve walked towards Arianne with wide eyes.Arianne has a slightly warlike personality, is strong, and knows how to use swordsmanship.As a result, a worried expression was built up.‘Maybe that knight did something wrong to Arianne…?’Eve asked in a whisper.“What’s up?”“Ah…. That… uh, because this man keeps spying on our store. I don’t know who he’s, I really don’t know him.”Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like a big deal.Arianne’s voice was not threatening.“Why are you emphasizing that you don’t know?”Eve laughed as if having fun, and slapped Arianne’s hand, which was holding the knight’s ear.“Let it go. You don’t want to hear him. Um, hello?”Eve smiled brightly and waved goodbye.“Long-time… Ouch!”Daniel, who was kicked by Arianne, was embarrassed and opened his mouth again.“Nice to meet you. My name is Daniel. I work for the Imperial Knights Templar.”“Oh! He was a good man. Did you want to eat? I think you had something to do with our restaurant.”Eve asked Daniel kindly.Daniel groaned and rubbed the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.“Oh…”Eve was startled and took a step back.‘Did I say such a sad thing? Huh,maybe he was so hungry.’Eve was perplexed in front of their gaze.“Eve, You must have made a good young man cry!”“No, Billy!”“Eve, make a man cry and then he abandoned them.”“Juliet, it’s not.”“An attractive woman who makes a man cry is always popular. Fufu.”“Ma’am!”As the blushing Eve was denying the pouring suspicion, Daniel’s cry grew louder and louder.The inside of Rembrandt’s small restaurant was heated.Eve waved her hand and wept.‘Lady Vivian! To see Lady Vivian like this, I can die like this. Vivian asked if he had eaten… She asked me!’Even talking to the person you dreamed of?Arianne sighed and patted the young man’s back, who was suddenly shivering.“Calm down, okay?”“Ugh! Ugh!”“Blow your nose here.”Arianne sighed again and looked at Daniel pitifully.At least it makes sense became bothersomeWasn’t Daniel an ardent follower of Vivian?Arianne felt tired and touched her forehead.“Who are you… so familiar..! Ugh!”“Let’s blow your nose first.”Arianne held out a bunch of toilet paper and slapped Daniel on the back and drove him to the bathroom.Daniel got out of the bathroom after squeezing his red eyes with cold water and exhaling a few painful breaths.Arianne was waiting in front of the bathroom, leaning against the wall, shaking.“Daniel.”“Uh, uh. Yeah? Who are you… oh ah you.. But how do you know me?”“You don’t need to know that. I’d like to talk to you. It’s in the dark over there.”Arianne beckoned to the alley.After checking the place closely, Daniel rolled his eyes.“Why, why?”“I ask you back. Follow.”I don’t think I should go…. Captain Paul. I can’t go there, can I?Strangely, I wanted to see Paul Theodore.I may hear nagging if I go, but the desire to return to the Imperial Templar was so strong that Daniel was about to beat him.“Did you know?”Daniel flinched at Arianne’s gloomy voice.“Damn, what am I…?”Watching Daniel, Arianne let out a cool smile.There are people in the world with a more threatening smile, but Arianne was like this person.It was time for Daniel to step back.Arianne said in a soft voice.“You must have a lot of questions about Vivian.”Obviously she said Vivian….Vivian. The owner of the knight Daniel.Daniel followed Arianne as if possessed. *** Eve checked the outside and finished the food.The young knight and Arianne, who followed her, were concerned even while the old lady brought extra food and brought Estella lunch.“Why? I guess you’re worried about Eve?”“Is it because he cries, Joanna?”“Oh, did you see it with my own eyes?”“Sit here, Eve. Talk to me about that man. Does he look younger than us?”“Juliet!”The guests of the restaurant waited for Arianne and the young knight to return, ordering more food without anyone thinking of getting up.A handsome young man and pretty Eve suddenly appeared and burst into tears.It was just interesting.While Eve was dealing with people like that, a young knight with a red face and Arianne returned.“Hah. you keep crying at this person.”Arianne beckoned to Daniel.“Oh my. I play a lot, I’m surprised…”“Why?”Joanna asked with a curious face.“That… It’s the first time I’ve seen someone so pretty…?”Daniel glanced at Arianne and mumbled.If I made a mistake here, I felt like I was going to die at Arianne’s hand.“Oh! This young man speaks very nicely. Well, it looks like there’s no seat. We’ll give you one of our seats. Sit here.”Juliet shoved Eve away and tapped the empty chair.The quiet streets of Rembrandt were filled with the sound of rattling laughter.Eve has received a new order.Juliet recommended Eve’s special egg and bacon fried rice for Daniel, and Daniel nodded with emotion.“Arianne? Why are you standing here?”“Ah… Nothing.”Arianne, who was glancing at Daniel as if worried about something, bit her lip and turned around to follow Eve.Then, for a moment, she turned around and raised her fist towards Daniel.‘Watch your mouth, your mouth.’Daniel nodded quickly.Juliet tapped Daniel’s shoulder, who was sobbing with tears in his eyes.“It’s because Arianne loves Eve a lot. Come on, don’t cry.”“Hah… I know… She must have been very close with Miss Eve.”“I heard you said you’re her cousin.”“Yeah.”Daniel tilted his head.Arianne’s identity is unknown.Arianne was not among the people around Vivian that Daniel knew.Vivian’s cousin.Were there any relatives of the Duke’s family named Ariane?I think you should look into this part.‘But she seemed to know me.’Moreover, strangely, he felt familiar with Arianne.Food came out when Daniel showed his knight spirit after a long time.“Dinner, Dan-Daniel, right?”“Ugh…”Daniel sniffled and picked up the spoon.‘Lady Vivian said my name…! And made my food!’Eve tilted her head as she watched Daniel dine with tears in his eyes.He seems to be a very salty person.‘Have you not eaten for a long time?’As a knight, there was no way that was the case.‘Ah…. It may have been a long time since he ate with someone like this.’Arianne was grinding her teeth as Eve looked at Daniel with a sad heart.‘Why did those seven pennies and eight pennies come?’I couldn’t even eat rice because of my anxiety.****While Daniel was swallowing his tears, the Imperial Knights also had an emergency.After everyone was convened, Daniel’s vacancy became apparent.“How about Daniel?”“Uh…. I don’t know. He seems to be working hard wherever he is.”“Why is he working so hard? Did he find out anything?”
