I was excommunicated from the Holy Knights

13 – Merchant of Bennett 3

-“Cheer!”-

“Yes… ”

Cazeros slowly opened his eyes to the sound of birds outside the window.

“!..omg!..”

Right after that, she got up in a bit of a hurry and started looking at her body.

His clothes were the same as before he went to sleep yesterday, and there were no traces of his clothes peeling off.

Other than that, I didn’t see anything that could be a problem.

“after..”

While recognizing that fact, Cazeros involuntarily let out a small sigh.

Then, recalling the situation from yesterday again, she carefully gripped her feeble chest.

‘It’s nothing special. Still, I was quite nervous just in case…’

Last night, Cazeros had no choice but to take off his coat and put on his underwear to dry his wet clothes.

However… Unlike the time when she was not so calm on the outside, she was feeling complicated in many ways.

At this moment, she is alone with a man in a room.

Both of them were young men and women in their prime, and at the same time, both of them were dressed very lightly.

Literally, objectively, it’s a perfect situation for something to happen.

And Cazeros already had some knowledge about this.

‘My father said… Men are like wolves that should not be trusted no matter what.’

No matter how gentle and courteous he may be on the outside, he is a man who can suddenly turn into a starving beast when he is alone with a woman.

Cazeros had heard this warning since she was a child, and because of this, she felt intense tension in many ways about the situation of having to share a room with Santana in this state.

But to be honest…

The tension she felt at that moment was not simply caused by fear.

‘It’s a little scary. Still.. wouldn’t it be okay? If the opponent is Santana…’

A man who made it clear that he would take responsibility for himself no matter what.

She decided to follow him and came this far.

and. Conventionally… Cazeros was well aware of the meaning contained in the declaration that a man would take responsibility for a woman.

Although the current situation was tense and a little scary.

She thought it wouldn’t be okay to give this person ramen… her first.

however..

Apart from Cazeros’ determination, Santana was still sleeping with a slightly uncomfortable feeling in the corner of the bed on the other side of the bed, leaving her quietly lying on the bed without anything really happening.

‘No matter how much, Santana is different. Well… no matter how manly he is, he won’t do anything that I would hate or be afraid of..’

Looking at him like this, who is still asleep without knowing the world, Cazeros feels relieved along with trust once again.

However, at this moment, along with these feelings, she began to feel a bit of bitterness as well.

‘But… am I not very attractive after all? If I had a little better body, maybe…’

While thinking such things, Cazeros caresses her heart, which resembles her mother and is regretful in many ways.

That was when she was thinking about it.

“Um… ”

The next moment, Santana slowly opens her eyes with a tired expression on her face.

Regarding this, Cazeros unknowingly slightly blushed and greeted him.

“Ah.. did you sleep well, Mr. Santana?”

“Hmm… yes. Did Cazeros sleep well too? Were there any inconveniences?”

“Yes.. Thanks to Santana, I slept comfortably.”

It’s not an empty word, even at this moment, Cazeros is taking up almost 2/3 of the bed leisurely, while Santana, despite his large physique, is only 1/3.

However, about this fact, Santana told her rather with a smile.

“I’m glad. So, shall we get ready to go out soon? Fortunately, the weather is nice, so I don’t think there will be any big problems with this.”

“Okay, then let’s get ready.”

With that, Santana gets up and puts on clean dry clothes all night.

Seeing him like this, Cazeros blushed slightly and started wearing the same clothes.

language and sentences.

This was the basis of all human social activities, and at the same time it could be said to be the most fundamental part in the development of mankind.

In that respect, the power of words and writing was immense, and their importance is also needless to say.

And in this respect… it could be said that commerce, which basically starts and ends through communication, has a very close relationship with language.

However, in the case of basic commerce, the influence was relatively small.

In the case of barter, which was carried out on the spot, there was no need for complicated conversations.

however..

In the process of writing and implementing contracts for various types of transaction laws and contracts as commercial technology develops, the power of language can make someone rich in hundreds of billions of dollars with just one sentence or one word, while being broke overnight. could be turned into a beggar.

For this reason, merchants had no choice but to pay great attention to the characters and expressions used in the contract process and writing the contract.

In some cases, a really trivial expression can lead to a false accusation.

And, in that respect, he is.

At this moment, he was deeply lamenting the contract he had made with his complacency.

‘They say that a person’s life goes to hell for a moment. That was really true..’

Over the past few decades, he has firmly established himself as a well-known merchant of Bennett.

However.. Currently, he is locked up in prison for a crime he did not commit and is waiting for the upcoming trial.

To put it bluntly, it was for an absurd reason, but rather, because of such laxity, he, a seasoned merchant, fell into the trap set by them in vain.

So, deeply regretting his small but fatal mistake, at this moment he gave up all hope and quietly lowered his head in prison.

A vast harbor and countless ships.

And this place where the waterway that covers the whole city and the nice buildings built on the water are located.

It is the largest port city on the continent. Benessa, a commercial city called the Queen of the Adriatic Sea.

Although its influence has declined considerably compared to the past, it still possesses power and wealth that cannot be ignored, and naturally arouses admiration and awe for those who arrive here for the first time.

“Awesome. This is Benessa.. I’ve heard about it, but this is the first time I’ve actually been there.”

A panoramic view of the beautiful and lively city right in front of you.

Cazeros could not hold back her pure admiration as he gazed at this.

Seeing her like this, for a while, I started to feel again that she had a pretty cute side.

‘How can I say it… Somehow, the more I look at it, the more I feel like I want to put a piece of candy in my mouth?’

Like a child visiting a big city for the first time, Cazeros couldn’t keep his mouth shut and his eyes were shining.

She shows off a bit of girlish innocence beneath her beautiful looks.

Seeing this, it was inevitable that a smile would automatically come to my lips.

‘Really… Looking at it from this point of view, it certainly doesn’t seem like all the work I’ve been doing has been in vain, right?’

I couldn’t achieve a big goal, but at least the fact that I was able to rescue such a lovely woman with my own hands would be something I could be proud of in my heart.

As I thought about that, I felt a little excited and looked forward again.

Shylock’s mansion, which is their destination, is now almost at hand.

First of all, I started driving the wagon in a bit of a hurry, thinking that I would like to take a quick rest there before gathering information and get rid of travel fatigue.
