Yarra’s Adventure Notes

Chapter 1471: Chapter 257: Sweetness

“Just now.” Pannis shrugged, “You told me yourself.”

“Are you trying to scare me? You dared to make such a decision without even being sure about something so important?” Nellie’s voice rose in surprise, almost spilling the wine in her cup, which frightened her into taking a big sip, but then she winced in pain and glared at Pannis, “It’s all your fault, making me waste so much wine. I drank it before it even had a chance to take effect.”

“That really is a pity.” Pannis, too lazy to argue with the irate knight, responded as if he hadn’t heard her complain, “There are always some things in the world for which one cannot wait to be absolutely certain before making a decision. For those things, the so-called choice is actually having no choice. Take the situation just now for example, what was I supposed to do? I was eighty percent sure that you were just acting, but it wasn’t a hundred percent. There was still a twenty percent chance I was wrong. What should I have done? Should I have shot you with the Hunting Arrow just to eliminate the risk for that twenty percent? Stop kidding. Don’t you remember the story Dillie told about the fool who, because he was worried about choking to death on food, never dared to eat and then starved to death? We all laughed at him back then, saying that was impossible, there aren’t people that stupid. But we all know deep down. There are too many such people and such incidents in the world. Do you really want me to do something so foolish it makes people laugh? You’re trying to drag my intelligence down to Dillie’s level, that’s just too much.”
