A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 212 – Seluna’s Frustration

Alberto was staring straight into the eyes of ‘Seluna Emeraldia’, a slender elf woman standing in front of him.

There is only one thing he is staring into Seluna’s eyes

I was curious to see how she would react when she met her own eyes.

Alberto used to look into people’s eyes to see how they felt about him.

Even though this method relied only on Alberto’s experience without going through a sufficient hypothesis and verification process, it was surprisingly accurate.

When Alberto looked into his eyes, most people usually had two reactions.

One was to avoid looking at Alberto’s face because it was burdensome, or the other was to ignore whether Alberto was looking at him or not.

Because, even though Alberto had the disadvantage of having narrow eyes, he was basically a handsome man with a nobleman’s style that made people who saw him roll their eyes at least once.

Therefore, the person who made eye contact with him suddenly had this thought while looking at Alberto’s face

‘Wow, it’s a bit burdensome when a good-looking person keeps looking at me.’

Therefore, he can no longer make eye contact with Alberto and naturally turns his head to avoid meeting his gaze with his own.

This is because people instinctively find it difficult to make eye contact with people who are better than them.

And the reason people reacted differently was that, as mentioned earlier, Alberto’s eyes were ‘squinted’.

What is squinting? An eye is an eye, but its size is small or it is difficult to see when the eye is open due to thick eyelashes.

For this reason, people with squinted eyes often ask why they are not looking at themselves even though they are looking at the other person.

For the same reason, even if Alberto was looking into the eyes of people passing by on the street, most people could not tell whether Alberto was looking at them or not.

Only some very perceptive people could notice that Alberto was looking at them.

However, sometimes some people avoid eye contact with Alberto.

In such cases, it was usually the behavior of people who had done something wrong to Alberto.

◈

For example, it happened when Alberto was living in his family’s mansion.

The maid who was cleaning Alberto’s room broke an expensive porcelain cup while she was cleaning his room.

He didn’t know that her maid cleaning her own room her broke her her own cup her her her.

So, to find out who broke her cup of her, she called all her maids who had ever worked in her room.

When all the maids in charge of his room were gathered together, Alberto looked each one in the eye and asked.

Did you break the cup in my room while you were cleaning?

Of course, she was the only maid who entered Alberto’s room and broke her cup while cleaning her, so all the maids except she could confidently say that they had never done that.

But the maid who broke her cup was able to look into Alberto’s eyes when he looked at her.

When she saw the small pupils between the very narrowly opened eyes her her her, she became increasingly anxious about the aura emanating from Alberto’s her appearance her her her, and her body her her began to tremble .

Then, unable to overcome her anxiety, she knelt down on the floor and told Alberto everything.

She said she broke his cup while she was cleaning.

As the maid revealed everything, Alberto carefully helped her up and said,

“When objects such as cups or plates are dropped, they break and produce sharp fragments. If such debris is removed incorrectly, it will cause injury. So please always be careful when cleaning.”

Alberto, in his generosity gave her maid some heartfelt advice and told her maid Jean to slightly reduce her two months’ salary as punishment.

The maid Jean guessed that Alberto was giving her a light punishment in the hopes that the maid would not make another mistake next time, so she did so.

After that, the maids who cleaned Alberto’s room became more concerned about safety.

◈

“Lord Seluna Emeraldia. “Do you know why I came here?”

Alberto asked a question to Seluna, who was trembling in front of him, looking into his eyes

It was an extremely simple and easy question to answer, whether you knew why you came here.

However, from the moment she met Alberto’s eyes, Seluna’s mind began to become tangled.

Apparently, she had come here to confess her mistakes to him and ask for her forgiveness.

Strangely enough, all those thoughts disappeared the moment I saw Alberto’s eyes revealed between his narrowed eyes.

All that comes to mind is the actions she took to frame Alberto, criticize him, and discredit him.

‘To me, that cadet named Alberto looks the most suspicious?’

‘Isn’t it strange? Why does this only happen around that cadet?’

All thoughts of asking for forgiveness disappeared the moment I looked into Alberto’s eyes.

‘I can feel it. Every time I hear or think about this guy named Alberto, I get goosebumps. He must be a very bad person.’

‘Can you be sure that you are really a good person just because you look nice on the outside? I can’t do that.’

“No no! “I never said that with that intention!”

As Seluna left Alverne for the unexplored region, she remembered all the bad words and insults she had uttered toward a man named Alberto.

I began to remember that I had accused a person of being a bad person without any basis, just based on the circumstances I heard from other people.

‘That cadet named Alberto is very suspicious. Do you think it is normal to have that level of skill at a young age? What is impossible even for us elves? There must have been some kind of trick. For example, did he join hands with some evil being?’

‘Now that I think about it, I remember something. There are good gods and evil gods in this world. Perhaps, we have joined hands with that evil spirit?’

‘As far as I know, an oracle came down from the church some time ago. However, there is a rumor that the place the oracle points to is the Royal Academy. In that respect, his cadet named Alberto is very suspicious.’

Everything was just Seluna adding her own opinion based on what she heard.

In the process, Alberto became a very bad person who joined hands with evil spirits.

Seluna From the moment she thought Alberto was suspicious, she was affected by confirmation bias.

Now, out of all the information she hears and secures, she instinctively selects only those that are favorable to her argument.

At this time, perhaps she was just thinking about it in her head, but she made it widely known to those who were with her.

The spiritualists of the Kingdom of Alberium and the people dispatched from the Bregern Empire began to agree with Seluna’s opinion

It was a common perception among people that elves make wise decisions through the wisdom they have accumulated over a long period of time.

So, even if Seluna’s words were not credible, people had some faith in them.

However, what her Seluna said was that she even added her own confirmation bias to the information she had heard, so it was accepted as truth by those who were with her.

Moreover, the two people got caught in the trap set by the evil god’s followers.

Anna and Seluna, who saw the fabricated evidence, succeeded in pushing Alberto to the brink of death.

However, taking advantage of that opportunity, the evil spirit took Alberto’s body and succeeded in escaping him to a safe place.

The good news was that the evil spirit that took over Alberto’s body explained all the facts before Alberto suffered any more damage.

Thanks to this, the very few elves and members of the Imperial Knights who did not believe Seluna’s story were able to report the truth they learned there to their superiors without adding or subtracting it.

Thanks to them, Alberto was finally able to clear his name, and Antonio also tried to restore Alberto’s identity by using secret orders.

And now, the time for retribution has arrived.

“Lord Seluna Emeraldia. “Let me ask you just one thing.”

Alberto asked a question to Cell Luna, who was tormented by the memories in her head.

“For what reason do you think you deserve to be forgiven by me?”

Alberto asked Seluna about her qualifications for forgiveness.

And upon hearing that question, Seluna’s face fell as if she had lost her country.

This is because eligibility for forgiveness is ultimately determined by the injured party.

Seluna, who knew this, could not help but be frustrated.

Because Alberto’s words meant that she could not be forgiven.

“Save me… Help me…” … No, please forgive me, please, please! Please forgive me!”

All she could do was pray for her life

Seluna Emeraldia, who thought of herself as noble and lived with pride, disappeared and in her place she was only an elf begging for her life.

And Nina’s eyes were cold as she looked at her like that.

However, contrary to the look in Nina’s eyes her her her her, Alberto, who was harmed by her her Celuna her her her her, had other thoughts in his mind her her her her.
