When Nok and the two rode back to the gate of Tarn Village, all the good mood disappeared.
Nock even had the urge to turn around and flee back to Seine City.
Because, Makina's figure looking through the autumn water was standing at the entrance of the village. When she saw the two of them from a distance, she had already rushed over with her skirt in hand.
"Jasmine! God bless you, you are finally back safely!"
Seeing the way Makina stopped Nok's horse regardless of the danger and took Jasmine from Nok's arms into her arms, Nok almost thought that he had done something outrageous.
I just went to the city to stay for one night. Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?
It's not a separation of life and death.
Besides, since the two of them are not at home, I'm afraid Makina and Leo will go crazy!
Shouldn't it be happy?
Why do you hold your child and cry when you meet her?
Nok looked at Leo coming from behind at a loss and cast a questioning look at him.
Leo sighed, frowned and explained: "Makina was worried all night and couldn't sleep at all. She ran out and waited before dawn, not even taking care of the tavern's business."
Nok saw the annoyance on Leo's face and immediately advised: "It's my fault. I should have obtained Makina's consent in advance. I shouldn't have just asked Ron to send a message and take Jasmine out to play."
"It's okay, it's obviously her who made the fuss. I haven't seen Jasmine all day long, and I haven't seen her nervous at all. I think she is sick!"
Uh, look at Leo's attitude, is he angry with Makina?
Nok reacted and quickly looked at Makina.
The crying Makina's face looked haggard and uneasy. Even though she heard the conversation between Leo and herself, she didn't pay attention. Instead, she hugged the struggling Jasmine tightly...
"I'm going! Makina, let go! You want to strangle Jasmine! She can't breathe!"
Nok jumped off the horse in panic, went up to pull Jasmine out of Makina's arms, and then saw Jasmine gasping for air with lingering fear.
"Give me back the baby! Where do you want to take my Jasmine!"
When Makina discovered that her child had been snatched away, she shouted with a panic expression and was about to rush towards Nok.
"Enough! Have you made enough trouble! Everyone is here, who are you going to make trouble for? Are you afraid that others won't laugh at you enough? If anything happens, let's talk about it when you go home! Make trouble again! From now on, you can make trouble alone! "
Leo roughly grabbed Makina to prevent her from jumping towards Nok.
Jasmine, who was originally frightened by Makina, saw Leo treating her mother so roughly, she immediately broke away from Nok's arms anxiously, rushed to Leo's side, and kicked Leo hard. legs.
"What are you doing! You are not allowed to bully my mother!"
Leo looked at Jasmine at his feet, resisting the urge to kick her away, and pushed Makina to the grass next to him: "I'm too lazy to care about you! I'm going back!"
"Mom!" Seeing her mother being pushed down, Jasmine nervously rushed forward to help Makina.
"Pah!" Jasmine's relationship was rewarded with a slap from Makina.
This slap not only stunned Jasmine, but also stunned Nok, and angered Leo even more.
"What are you doing!" Leo pointed at Makina angrily.
"Makina, you're crazy!" Nok also angrily picked up the beaten Jasmine and directly used magic to treat Jasmine's face and help reduce the swelling.
"It's none of your business if I teach my daughter a lesson! Who made her disobedient! It's so easy for me as a widow to raise her! Does she still have me as a mother in her eyes? She just ran away from home without saying a word!"
Makina yelled angrily, her eyes filled with grievances.
Nok glanced at the villagers crowded at the entrance of the village to watch the joke, and spoke in disappointment.
"Makina, I'm sorry that I took Jasmine to Seine City without your consent. If you have any objections to me, you can tell me when you get home. There is no need to beat the child. There is nothing wrong with the child. It’s me.”
"The child is mine, and I can beat it if I want. You are a noble priest, and I dare not offend you. You have already taken away my man, so why would you want to take my daughter away from me? Please give me my daughter back, please." Give it to me, don’t embarrass me, a widow.”
Makina's words made Nok stiffen. He looked at her in disbelief, and then looked at Leo who continued walking back without looking back. He finally understood the problem.
"Okay, I'll give Jasmine back to you. But please don't hit her again. Even if she goes out to play, she's still thinking about you in her heart. There are gifts she bought for you on the horse."
"So, if anything happens, let's talk about it when we go home? If it's a matter between you and Leo, I will help you ask Leo for it. But now, don't stay here to make people laugh. It will have a bad influence on the children. .”
"What repercussions are you afraid of? I am a shameless widow who shamelessly favors men. In the end, I am no match for a man. I can't even say a word, so what kind of shame do I need!"
Makina's shrew-like behavior made Nok completely angry.
"Makina, I don't know what happened between you and Leo! But if you continue to make trouble like this, it will only make Leo farther and farther away from you! Humph! You can go back after you think of yourself here! Jasmine is scared by you, I’ll take her home first!”
After saying that, without waiting for Makina's consent, she directly carried Jasmine onto the horse and rode straight to the tavern.
Makina looked at Nok leaving and was furious.
She sat on the ground, cried and cursed, and made a fuss for a while. Then she got up from the ground and walked towards the tavern.
However, when she returned to the tavern, she saw the adventurers watching her in silence.
And the waiter looked at her gloatingly.
This annoys her!
She wanted to get angry at these people, but she held it back.
These people are not Leo and Father Ryan, and they will not accommodate her.
Makina could only walk towards the backyard angrily.
But she didn't know that after she entered the backyard, the pub exploded with discussions, all about her.
In fact, after Makina lost her temper, she regretted it.
It was understandable for her to be angry with Leo, but it was indeed too much to be angry with Father Ryan.
But she had an unpleasant fight with Leo last night because of Jasmine.
Of course, Jasmine is just the trigger, not the main reason.
The main reason was that Leo didn't want to marry her or have children with her.
She originally thought that by bringing it up when the other person was confused and infatuated, Leo would agree in a daze.
Unexpectedly, even if she used all kinds of martial arts skills last night, she could fight Leo to submission.
But Leo poured the milk away in the end, not giving her a chance.
She couldn't help but bring up the topic of marriage, but to her surprise, Leo would just put on his clothes and leave!
This angered Makina.
She has served this man wholeheartedly for two years, just to make him her support!
As a result, the man ate all the food and wiped his mouth without expressing his opinion.
Now that he spoke first, he actually turned his back on me and refused to recognize me.
So Makina chased Leo's room to make trouble.
An upset Leo pushed him down on the bed and beat him violently.
That was a real fight.
Although Makina had been beaten by her dead husband before, this was the first time she was beaten by Leo.
She always thought that she was the treasure in his hand, but she didn't expect that she suddenly turned into a grass.
This huge contrast made her cry all night.
Before dawn, I ran out of the house angrily without even cooking.
As a result, Leo ignored her all morning. It was not until after lunch that the man who had eaten and drank enough came to see her, but he did not coax her.
He just said coldly: Go home for dinner.
Makina's grievances all morning suddenly burst out, and she had another quarrel with Leo, which attracted the attention of the villagers.
Seeing people watching, Leo fell silent.
Makina was quite enthusiastic about scolding.
When she was tired of scolding, she happened to hear the sound of horse hooves and saw Nok returning with Jasmine.
As soon as she saw Jasmine shouting and shouting happily on the horse, Makina thought of her grievances from last night to today.
She had suffered so much injustice, but her daughter went out with a man to have a good time, which deeply stimulated her.
Let her completely forget that her daughter is only six years old and that man is her daughter's elder.
In addition, Leo kept saying last night that he would follow Father Ryan and used Father Ryan as an excuse to refuse to marry her.
If Father Ryan leaves, he will leave without caring about her feelings at all.
So, Makina took the opportunity to explode, pretending to be crazy and scolding Father Ryan.
I suddenly felt much more relaxed.
She is not afraid of Father Ryan blaming her. After all, in her eyes, Father Ryan is a person with no temper.
She is kind to people and good to her daughter.
Considering that she is Leo's woman and Jasmine's mother, she will definitely not argue with her.
So, after she lost her temper, she came back with a peace of mind, planning to apologize and give in. Find a way to get the priest to talk about Leo, and ask the priest to let Leo leave and stay to marry him.
Anyway, now that there is an Adventurer's Guild, the Guild will also accept escort missions. At worst, when Father Ryan continues to travel, she will use the profits from the tavern to hire experts from the Adventurer's Guild to escort him.
If money can solve the problem, why should Leo do it?
Thinking of this, Makina's steps became much lighter.
However, when she walked onto the small building in the backyard, she felt that something was wrong.
Oh, it's much quieter than usual.
Maybe the little girl was frightened by her beating, so she didn't mess around today.
However, when she walked up to the third floor, her uneasiness became more and more intense.
"Boom!"
Makina knocked on Nok's door, but got no response.
Makina thought Nok was still angry and deliberately ignored her.
So she shouted outside the door: "Father Ryan, I am Makina. I am here to apologize. Can I come in?"
However, after she finished shouting, she waited for a long time but received no response.
"Is it in the study room?"
Makina moved to the study room next door and knocked on the door.
But after knocking for a long time, there was no response from the study.
Makina quickly opened the study door.
But he found that the bookshelf that was originally filled with books was empty, not a single book was left.
"What's going on! The house was robbed?"
Makina quickly climbed to the next door and pushed open the priest's door.
I saw that the wardrobe in the room was opened and all the clothes inside disappeared. Even the bedding on the bed was taken away.
"No! No!"
Makina panicked and thought of a possibility.
She rushed to Leo's room downstairs in fear and knocked open the door.
What came into view was the same clean and empty room.
"No!"
She rushed up to the second floor and opened Jasmine's room.
Fortunately, Jasmine's room was intact. On the contrary, there were a few more bundles and a piece of brightly colored cloth on the bed.
Jasmine was lying on the bed, hugging a colorful and weird dress, looking at the ceiling blankly, not even looking at Makina who opened the door, as if she didn't exist.
"My Jasmine! What happened? Why are the priest and Leo's things gone? Where are they?"
Jasmine looked at the coy mother in front of her expressionlessly, as if she didn't know her at all.
She replied in an indifferent tone: "Gone? That's all right. They have already left. Isn't that what you want! Since you hate them so much, why should they stay?"
"By the way, Ryan said. This house and the tavern will be regarded as the compensation he gave you for Mr. Gareth. From now on, the property rights will belong to you, and the income from the tavern and the Adventurer's Guild will belong to you, Ms. Makina. No need to We gave them dividends, which is also part of the compensation. So, are you satisfied! Ms. Makina!"
"No! No! No! How could this happen! No! No! Where did they go? I'll go find them!"
Makina shouted in collapse, not noticing her daughter's indifferent attitude at all.
"Hmph! Why, you think the joke is not big enough, and you have to make the whole village come out to drive us mother and daughter away to be happy?"
Jasmine sat up from the bed, hugging the skirt worth fifty gold coins, and stared at her mother with indifferent eyes.
Makina was finally stung by Jasmine's gaze and muttered timidly: "I...I just want to apologize and beg them to come back."
"It's too late. Ryan said that from today on, you are you and they are them. They will no longer disturb your life, Ms. Makina, and refuse to harass them, Ms. Makina. If you insist on not listening, Advice, then one of them or you is destined to leave Tarn Village."
"So, if you are not afraid of being driven away by the villagers, just go ahead and make trouble! I think you know better than anyone else who the villagers will choose between you and the priest! You'd better weigh the consequences before deciding whether to continue being stupid. .”
"Now, please leave my room, I need to rest. I don't want to be disturbed by strangers, noble Ms. Makina!"
Jasmine's best words completely defeated Makina.
She finally couldn't help it, covered her mouth and ran out of Jasmine's room, went into her own room, hugged the quilt on the bed and buried her head in tears.
