Chapter 333: Chapter 70: The Young Girl_3

Who could understand Gortani’s inward frustration?

It was none other than this despised Piegel Overlord who not only possessed three great beauties but now had also acquired a graceful, elegant, and exceptionally talented Fairy Dragon. This left Gortani at a loss for words and explanations.

Gortani harbored a secret known to no one.

On the night when Richard invented the War Song Scroll, he actually plucked a white feather from her wing.

By Kampas above! The wings of the Swan Tribe are equivalent to their dignity, something that no one dares to desecrate. Moreover, the traditional way of expressing love among the Swan Tribe has always been to exchange feathers from each other’s wings. A beautiful Swan maiden should give the only feather she ever plucked to her husband, a little secret universally known among the Beamons.

Perhaps Richard did it unintentionally. After all, this thick-skulled god usually lacks proper understanding about things but has a knack for unnecessary knowledge. Although Gortani managed to retrieve that white feather afterward, somehow, she found herself frequently reminiscing about it when alone.

For some reason, whenever she pondered about it, Gortani’s face would flush slightly.

The way Overlord Richard looked at her might include mockery and teasing, but never a lecherous gaze.

Though at times he would pretend to be a lecher, Gortani could tell from his eyes that he was only joking.

Desirable women like Gortani might claim they abhor lewd gazes, but if no one objectified them, they would become as frustrated and resentful as Gortani felt now.

Gortani found herself in constant conflict. Subconsciously, Gortani knew this Piegel to be shameful and despicable. However, she couldn’t pinpoint exactly why. She ought to despise him, but the longer they interacted, the more Gortani felt herself unable to hate him. After all, this Piegel knew many fascinating things. He invented a game called "Mahjong", which Gortani once tried and ended up with red eyes.

Those who play Mahjong all night usually have red eyes.

Unlike other nobles, he didn’t pretend to be refined or pursue sophistication deliberately. No poll tax was imposed on his territory. He even took the time to teach the children to inscribe scrolls. He also dined among his people. His style of rulership was unheard of in the Beamon Kingdom, which was refreshing to Gortani.

His sincerity towards his own people contrasted sharply with his deceitful and calculating behavior towards foreigners.

Why does a Beamon have such a substantial personality contrast? This question had always puzzled Gortani.

The more time Gortani spent with this Piegel, the more he left unanswered riddles for her. He would often make surprising remarks and come up with bright ideas, especially weird ones. Even though he sometimes seemed perplexed, he instantly managed to thrive.

The War Song Scroll, the retrofitting of the Ancient Power Firegun, and the formation of the Aerial Cavalry are inventions only a legitimately wise and thoughtful Beamon can think of.

Even though he often shows contempt for the temple through his words, whenever it involves the interests of the Beamon Kingdom, he always makes concessions. This attitude was evident when he made an agreement to exempt human mercenaries from paying tolls and when he sent the Monk Corps for assistance in the ongoing wars on the western front. Such behaviour is uncharacteristic for him, yet he did so anyway.

Gortani noticed something odd. Cui Beixi had never been very fond of this disciple of hers. Oddly enough, she had recently started speaking well of him.

It was truly strange.

Though he was a jerk, he was a jerk with character. That was Gortani’s ultimate verdict on the Overlord.
