This knight is too perfect

Chapter 35 Desire
At night, after completing the transaction with Lilitha, Rhine rested for a while in the room assigned to him by Fergus.

Then, exactly as Fergus had said in the evening, he arrived at the door of Fergus's cabin at ten o'clock.

But when Rhine came here, he strangely stopped at the door for a moment, and then started knocking.

"Come in, Rhine."

Hearing Fergus' words from inside the house, Rhine immediately opened the door.

Just as Rhine entered the house, a cake with candles on it on the table not far away caught Rhine's eyes.

"Happy birthday!"

Seeing Rhine come in, the two old guys Fergus and Ron immediately jumped out from both sides of the door and gave Rhine a big surprise.

Rhine pretended to be unaware and cooperated by being "shocked".

But after being "surprised", Rhine asked Lilitha and Jet on the other side of the room with a little curiosity.

"Ms. Lilisha, Mr. Jeter, why are you here too?"

Hearing this, Lilitha silently put down the book in her hand and looked at Jet.

Seeing his master's reaction, Jet, the butler, immediately understood that it was time for him to play his role as a butler.

For example, in order to defend his master's elegance and reserve, he must now appropriately put the blame on himself that does not belong to him.

"Ahem, Mr. Rhine, I was worried that Miss staying in the room for too long would not be conducive to the 'experience' mentioned by the head of the family, so I took the initiative to suggest that she go out for a walk more often."

"And tonight happened to be the birthday party that Mr. Fergus prepared for you, so I suggested that Miss come along as well, which led to the current situation."

Jet's answer was perfect. He even implicitly attributed the reason why the two people came here to himself.

It seemed that Lilitha was completely passive in this process, and it was not as if she subjectively wanted to come here.

But unfortunately, after becoming the Black Iron Knight of Destiny, Rhine was able to discern the truth in Jet's words.

As for the result...

That was what Jet said at that moment, and there was not a single true word in his mouth.

But when Rhine understood all of Jet's words in reverse and saw Lilitha, who was expressionless and elegant not far away, he couldn't help laughing.

But his smile made some people unable to laugh.

"What are you laughing at, Mr. Rhine?"

Faced with Lilitha's serious expression, the smile on Rhine's face froze instantly.

Then he immediately responded with a quick response: "Nothing, I just thought of something very interesting."

"is it?"

Lilitha looked at Rhine suspiciously, as if trying to determine whether what he said was false.

Rhine was very calm about this.

Just because what he just said was indeed true.

But if Lilitha continued to ask what exactly he was laughing at, things would become difficult.

Because one of the virtues of a knight is to remain honest.

Fortunately, people who love to laugh generally have good luck.

Just when Lilitha looked doubtful and was about to continue questioning Rhine.

Fergus, who was standing next to him, came to Rhine in time with the cake and stood between him and Lilitha.

"Come on, Rhine, make a wish."

In the dim candlelight, Rhine clearly saw Fergus blink at him.

It was obvious that Fergus came here specifically to help him out.

In this regard, Rhine could not help but once again express his admiration for the keen insight of the older generation.

After all, if it were other young people with little experience, would they be able to react so quickly?
Of course not!

Thanks to Fergus' timely off-field assistance, Rhine finally avoided Lilitha's fatal interrogation.

He looked at the cake and candles in front of him, closed his eyes, made a wish, and then blew out the candles.

When the candle went out, Ron, who had been waiting impatiently, jumped out immediately.

He first lit up all the oil lamps in the house, and then took out a half-meter-high barrel of barley beer from under the table. "Drink, we have a rare chance tonight, we must drink to our heart's content!"

Hearing Ron's words, Fergus turned around and looked at Jet, and invited him, "How about, Mr. Jet, have a drink together?"

Jet looked down at Lilitha beside him, seemingly asking for her opinion.

In response, Lilysa nodded and said, "If you were drinking with someone like Mr. Fergus, I think even my famously conservative father wouldn't mind your slight indulgence after he knew about it."

"So, go ahead, Jett, it's time to show Mr. Fergus how much you can drink."

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Lilitha."

After getting Lilitha's permission, Jet seemed like a completely different person.

He took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves, then sat down opposite Fergus and Ron and made a bold statement.

"Mr. Fergus, Mr. Ron, please don't underestimate my drinking capacity just because I'm a butler. Do you know what my title was before I became a butler?"

Ron asked curiously, "What is it?"

Jet smiled with great confidence.

"The King of Untumbled Wine from Garrett."

Hearing this, Fergus and Ron looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

"What a coincidence! When I was in the church, everyone said I was the number one wine god in the church!"

"What a coincidence! Before I came to Thorn Territory, I, Ron, also had a title, and that title was the blacksmith who could drink the most in Furnace City!"

Hearing the two's answers, Jet changed his usual "restraint" and immediately started laughing.

Even Lilitha, who never drinks, can clearly feel the happiness contained in this laughter.

But she didn't quite understand, because Jet had only known Fergus and Ron for a short time.

But why can he show his truest side in front of these two people?

Yes, in Lilitha's opinion, Jet at this moment is the real him.

The restrained butler on weekdays is just a disguise of Jet after he has put away his minions.

With the attitude of asking without knowing, Lilysa quietly came to Rhine and asked curiously: "Mr. Rhine, how many of the words they just said do you think are true?"

Faced with this problem, Rhine didn't even need to use the Knight's Protection and gave the answer directly.

"Not a word."

"Yeah……"

"But since Mr. Rhine can give such a sure answer, I guess you should have some ability to detect lies, right?"

"..."

Rhine's face froze, and then he looked at Lilitha beside him awkwardly.

It was obvious that this elegant Moon Noble was still upset about Rhine's "funny smile" just now.

Rhine was a little amused by this. Why didn't he realize that Lilitha, this elegant noble lady, was so vengeful?
Fortunately, Lilitha is a well-educated aristocrat after all, so she knows how to grasp the right measure and knows what it means to stop at the right time.

"Don't worry, Mr. Rhine, you don't have to answer my question, because compared to this, I am actually more curious about another thing, that is, what exactly is the wish you just made? Do you mind sharing it with me?"

In response, Rhine nodded and gave a sincere answer.

“My wish is that next year, all of us here can still gather together happily like we did today.”

Hearing Rhine's wish, Lilitha was stunned again.

"That's it?"

"That's all."

Lilysa looked at Rhine, who was full of longing, and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Rhine, every step you take is really beyond my expectations."

After a moment, Lilysa looked at Fergus and the other two who were already competing in drinking, and said seriously, "Believe me, gentle Mr. Rhine, your wish will come true."

"Because I believe that the Moon God must have heard your wish and sent down His response in the moonlight."

"Really? Then...thank you for your blessing, Miss Lilisa."
