I don't like how Ordoll always "try" to explain that Maria probably isn't his own kid, it could affect Maria childhood because she's keen to believe that Ordoll is her father but the "father" here doesn't want to recognize it... Why don't he just accept that it's his daughter even if she's not blood related to him... I mean he can just adopt it.. what's wrong with that..just say you're the father and done with all the explanatory.
@Vilicus Too early for romance and Maria's mother definitely going to make appearance later to make some drama...
@Roadrunner9000 The mercenary group MC was in was working for the kingdom. Messing with a high ranking noble daughter from that kingdom they worked for definitely will risk their job.
@rgkaw its not about eating it, its more like the ''HEY THATS MY FOOD!!'' instinct, i myself tried to pry open my dogs mouth to retrieve my sandwich, but she won at the end....
The discussion on fun and its other forms is more contentious than you may imagine. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/are-funner-and-funnest-real-words-usage if you're curious
and yes, it's just a way of saying it was a very thorough search
Not much of a cliffhanger if they are just bandits. So, I will take the wild stab that they are old friends from his mercenary group mistaken for bandits.
