The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 57 - Bold and Arrogant

Let me clear something out to you guys before I continued.

I want to talk about the attack on the party for a sec.

We know that this attack wasn’t a random on, but one that has been intentionally orchestrated. We know who arranged it and we also know that Haiel was smart enough to know that it was his brother who wanted to kill him.

Alright so Haiel should be furious at his brother and may… want to kill him and that would be perfectly justifiable for everyone.

So imagine my surprise when I see the motherfucker standing beside Haiel like he isn’t the least bit connected to the matter. Haiel also doesn’t even seem a bit angry or disgruntled by the fact that his killer was standing next to him… in striking distance!

Yeah, I call bullshit.

NO way does someone so experienced and old person like Haiel doesn’t know that it was his brother. His more likely trying to keep this matter into the family so it doesn’t get any more fucked by other people.

But hombre, you already made one mistake. Your brother wasn’t just aiming to kill you but many other noble families too. SO, let’s see how you stop them from demanding the head of their killer.

"Welcome brave warriors!" Haiel said while sitting on his somewhat broken of a throne-chair. We were standing on this very long red carpet that was originally blue… but you can guess what happened here.

"My lord!" Arthur said as he knelt in front of him. He waited for a bit but when he saw I wasn’t doing the exact same thing as him, he nudged at me.

But I didn’t care. I wasn’t going to kneel before someone who was going to get fucked by his own brother that he already knows but still wouldn’t do anything about it.

There’s also that arrogance inside me that wouldn’t let me kneel before this guy who is at the current moment a lot weak, both physically and financially. Even if he was at his height of power… I’m sure I could take him on.

Yeah, I’m that arrogant and confident at my own ability. I was becoming stronger every day so you can expect me to not bow down to just anyone… unless they are someone very strong… or a very beautiful women… or a goddess that is trying to help me... or a very strong evil god that could kill me.

…Man, there are a lot of being-

My though process stopped as I felt Arthur nudging me from the corner and both Valorence brother looked in expectation.

Fuck your expectation, I’m not bowing down to you.

I slap away the small pinky and give a brief nod, "My Lords."

Immediately the looks of displeasure and resentment came on both brothers faces respectively. They both knew that in social hierarchy order they had the bigger ranking so what I did was a big insult to them.

But they also knew that financially I was a large fucker and physically… well, they both saw me in action the other day, so nobody had anything else to say but, "Hmm!"

"I called you both here because I wanted to thank you personally and reward you for your bravery, especially you, Henry Van Tax." Haiel said. "You had shown exceptional skills and prowess for someone so... young."

"Thanks"

The guy may be a pussy but sure knows how to put on faces. He didn’t show a bit of discomfort saying those words to me.

Miel on the other hand couldn’t stop himself from glaring at me. How could the bastard, when I am the main reason it got so spoiled.

"Do you want to say something or is there something on my face?" I asked him directly.

"I-I…" Miel didn’t think that I would actually have the gall to ask something like that in this situation.

"I was just admiring… the man who had saved my brother so bravely, forgive me if it seemed inappropriate." He said with clenched teeth.

"Well then, admire on." I gave him a smile and if it weren’t for his brother beside him, I was sure he would have attacked me.

"COUGH COUGH!" Haiel coughed gathering our attention.

"As I was saying, I wanted to thank you both for your great help the other night. If it weren’t for both of your contributions, many guests lives and my own would have been ended."

"It’s our sole duty as warriors of our kingdom, my lord. You needn’t praise us for it." Arthur said.

"You’re welcome."

Arthur glanced at me again and signaled to stop acting like that but I couldn’t. The kinds of expression appearing on Miel’s face was too hilarious.

I was the guy who shattered his whole operation and now I was acting boldly right in front of him, it was sure to give a large headache to an egotistic noble like him.

Haiel on the other hand, didn’t give much importance to it.

"So in consideration of your help, I wish to reward you both." Haiel raised his hand, stopping Arthur, "No, you can’t refuse it."

Arthur smiled, "As you say, my lord."

"Good." Haiel nodded and signaled to the side as a group came carrying something large, "Arthur, I already know that you are one of the bravest warrior in our kingdom and also know that you will continue to do great things in the future so in light of that, I am granting you my war armor."

The servants pulled off the cover and showed a tall armor that stood shiningly on its rough metal plates. There were a lot of scratches on it but even through it any one could see that the armor would still be able to hold on a lot more damage.

I glanced at the armor, ’Hmm… it seems, fate will find ways to bring lost distant roads back together.’

The armor before me was the same armor that Elisabeth would have given Arthur in the future when he admits for the academy.

"I…I… thank you, my lord." Arthur said, kneeling back once more as it brought a satisfied laugh to Haiel.

"Make sure to bring honor to the kingdom and to your family, Arthur." Haiel said deeply.

"I will." Arthur nodded seriously as Haiel turned to me and became a bit awkward.

"Unfortunately, Van Tax, I don’t know you as personally as I do with Arthur, so I couldn’t prepare anything for you. But I will grant you anything that you ask of me."

"Anything?"

"Anything"
