Chapter 71 – King of the underground (22)
================= Odum’s POV ===================
“Ouch!”
A girl’s yelp of pain echoed throughout a dark tunnel, and the dwarf who had just crawled out at the end of it had to turn back his head again. He saw Romaine clutching her forehead with tearful eyes as she tried to make her way out.
“What’s wrong?” The old dwarf patted the merchant girl’s left hand and saw that her pale forehead had a red patch on it.
His eyes bulged and exclaimed with exasperation: “Why did you knock yourself again? Didn’t I tell you that this tunnel was dug for my own personal use? It’s definitely going to be a low ceiling for you, so you need to be careful about how you move about!”
“But you didn’t warn me again after that.” Little Romaine clutched her head, complaining and muttering with a frown.
“Lass, this doesn’t need to be reminded all the time!” The dwarf sighed and lent a hand to pull her out from the pits, “Alright, how is it, do you still feel pain, girl?”
“Fine, fine, then I wish that you will croak faster, old man,” he leered at Romaine, “Don’t worry, I’ll help take care of your relative—”
“Fuck off!” Odum roared in fury.
The riders laughed and started moving away.
The dwarf turned back to Romaine with apologetic grumblings, but he quickly lost his ability to maintain his dignity. Romaine was looking at him with curiosity and repressed laughter.
“Well, it’s not really very important—” Romaine nodded earnestly, “I won’t laugh or look down on you for bragging about how respected you are on the way here!”
Odum was immediately rooted to the spot and felt like his reputation was ruined.
