Became the Escort Knight of the Villain in the Romance Novel

5 – Irene Uris(5)

“Do you have anything to say.”

Maybe it was because I was staring too hard, but the moment I saw the trembling eyebrows as if I was uncomfortable, I felt sorry.

Her but the feeling she just felt was so intrusive that I couldn’t easily take my eyes off her.

Sad, savage, displeased.

The more I recalled the dictionary meaning of the word expensive, the more the question grew, so I couldn’t help but open my mouth.

“…Yes.”

“I don’t know what you’re trying to say… But I’ll listen.”

As she sat at a table in the corner of her infirmary and clapped her hands lightly, she opened her door and Lofena entered.

“Please bring me some tea. Because the escort seems to have something to say.”

“Yes, lady.”

Are you a lady?

Thinking over Pena’s address to Irene, she immediately turned her head to the one gaze that reached me.

As if surprised to see her bandages soaked in her blood, Lopena’s eyes, which were wide like rabbits, laughed lightly at the funny.

She pursed her lips with a worried expression, then slowly turned her back and disappeared.

Since Irene ordered something, she probably didn’t talk to me anymore.

Anyway, what should I do now? Actually, she doesn’t have anything to say to Irene.

It’s just that she didn’t like it when she just disappeared.

Because the two eyes, which did not contain any emotion, were just quite sad.

Jureureuk-

Watching the red tea flowing into an empty teacup, and finally when the tea is poured and the calm waves collide inside the cup.

Maybe she was waiting for me to say something, but she just stuck with her calm attitude.

I would have answered something if I had asked first, but a sigh rose in her heart at the sight of her face as she sipped tea savagely.

There was only silence between Irene and me, and the only sound that could be heard from time to time was the sound of sipping tea.

The awkward atmosphere naturally made her shoulders feel heavy.

Regretting that she’d rather let her go, that I stopped her at her sudden urge to tea, I brought her empty teacup to her mouth and smiled bitterly.

Tak,

As I put the teacup down on the saucer, I realized that blue eyes were staring at me in front of me.

Looking at the eyes that were quietly moving as if to tell him what he was trying to say, it seemed as if those eyes from earlier were coming to mind.

Even in front of the assassins who drew their swords at me, those eyes that couldn’t even see the slightest movement.

I just wondered what kind of life he had lived.

No matter how many deaths you have experienced, in the end it is people who are afraid.

It would never be normal to see him not even being agitated as if the emotion of fear had been castrated.

And the people of this mansion, who didn’t seem to be very impressed after hearing the news of Irene’s assassination.

Even Lopena wasn’t too surprised to see the assassins, so maybe there were quite a few such attempts.

To the extent that even the emotion of surprise is dulled.

As I touched my mouth, which became bitter unlike the fragrant aroma of tea, a voice came from the front.

As if waiting any longer would end here, the thorns in his lithe voice pierced his ears and throbbed.

“…I wonder when he will open his mouth. If it was meant to upset you, you’ve succeeded admirably.”

It felt as if the heat around me had gone away with the extremely chilly energy.

Her shoulders trembled at the chill that came as if she had put ice on her neck. After looking into her eyes for a moment, she opened her mouth.

“I have a question for you.”

“Are you curious?”

“…Are you all right?”

It was just something I said without much thought. I wondered if anyone had ever come into her mansion and asked her to say this.

As an escort, I said it lightly, wondering if she might get hurt.

In an instant, I thought that her eyes, which had been staring at me, had hardened like stone.

Like someone who met Medusa’s eyes, it was me who was embarrassed to see her hardened in an instant.

When her expression was colored with surprise, she returned to her original expression in an instant and pursed her lips.

“……”

It was only in an instant that a crack appeared in that expression that I thought would always be the same.

The mask shattered, and my eyes widened at the sight of her surprised face revealed in it.

She licked her lips as if wondering what to say, then got up and turned her back.

I was hoping for an answer. I wanted to add her words to that heart, but she shut her mouth at her eyes that were shaking uncontrollably.

Did that one word really surprise you? “Are you okay?” That common greeting.

Was that a surprising statement?

My lips parted slightly at the rising question, but the words that eventually came out were different from my heart.

“If you don’t mind, if you’re not surprised. Fortunately, the.”

After entering her mansion, the words no one said to her, her steps as she tried to leave, stopped for a moment.

Lopena, who was holding the kettle, saw Irene’s face and immediately opened her eyes wide. What kind of face are you making?

Tak-

Still shutting her mouth, she didn’t turn around again. She just walked out of her infirmary just like that, walking a little faster than the first time.

After looking at her back, as Irene hurriedly followed Irene, I looked at the back of Ropena, then raised her hand and wiped her face.

Maybe I made a mistake. The scent of Darjeeling from before was deeply embedded in the breath I took with such concern.

When she turns her head, what she sees is an empty table and an empty teacup that still lingers with the scent of tea.

Because the figure that turned toward me kept lingering in front of her eyes.

#

“My lady.”

“…Lopena. Go away.”

She was full of thoughts of wanting to be alone. The green gaze that was looking at me kept coming back to me, and even the papers I was holding seemed green.

Looking at Pena with a worried look, she waved her hand and ordered her to leave.

The only thing in this room is myself. When I realized that, my expression, which had always been insensitive, slowly began to break.

Kkwajik,

Involuntarily grabbing the papers he was holding, he exhaled a heavy breath.

The stuffiness in her chest didn’t even allow her to breathe, so I raised her slender hand and tapped her chest.

Evan Fried.

I can’t easily forget the gaze that looked at me from the first time I saw it.

Those eyes that sympathized with me as if she knew everything about herself.

How could he look at himself with those eyes?

In an empty room, a sigh penetrated the void that filled the air.

The emotions contained inside were so thick that I rubbed my eyes at the feeling that my eyes were blurring for a moment.

-Are you okay?

Why does that one word of worrying about oneself hurt so much?

It’s obviously a cliché, and it’s probably nothing more than an expression to ask how you’re doing.

That sound in my ears was an arrow to me. An arrow with poison on its arrowhead.

It was as heavy as if poison had entered his body. The cold sweat running down his cheeks was proof of that, and he let out a quick breath and buried himself on the sofa.

Fluffy cotton wrapped around her body, and she leaned her head against the softness of the cushion.

-If you don’t mind, if you’re not surprised. Fortunately, the.

My body flinched again at the sound of the voice digging into my ears covered with cushions.

No matter how much I covered my ears with my hands, I heard that voice right next to me. The hell, why the hell

It was no different from an escort that would soon change anyway.

Because the people by his side have always been like that.

You will encounter an assassin again, and you will be wounded by the sword again. That’s how he would leave his side.

I didn’t give it to you. She was always calm, because she herself was the next shield, she was the eldest daughter of Julis, and she was also the head of the nobles who would stand tall above everyone.

Hasn’t she done quite well with the ‘perfection’ she’s been hearing about since she was little?

So this time too.

She should be treated the same this time.

-Are you interested in books?

-I heard that in order to be a good knight, you have to have common sense. If there is a book you would like to recommend, I would appreciate it.

The way she keeps knocking on my door is faint, and the way she tries to be next to her after realizing her own loneliness is so annoying.

Her sigh escaped from between her mouth, which she covered with her hand. How could she not have seen her trembling eyes when she looked at herself.

How could she not have noticed the intention of the person who came to her and talked to herself? She just ignored it.

From noble mtl dot com

I’ll give up after a while. She deliberately treated her coldly, thinking that if she deliberately spit out her sharp words, she would give up on her own.

That’s why I didn’t tell her even after seeing her wounds.

She sees her scars later and curses at me. I wanted to get away from the attention that was poured on me like that.

It was her own mistake that she noticed the light leaking through the crack in the door of her infirmary while walking through her hallway on a dark night.

If I hadn’t looked at it, I wouldn’t have bothered if she had just ignored it like that.

Evan’s words, even after hearing such bad words, felt like poison to me.

A poison that is so sweet that you can’t get rid of it without approaching it.

He turned around in fear that he might inadvertently stretch out his hand, even for a moment, being seduced by the scent.

In this heartless mansion, I cut off the rope that the person who had told me the words no one told me, and turned around like that.

-Are you okay?

It wasn’t okay. Scared, scared It was just enough to make me forget the fear.

If you show surprise, what you get back is a cold bruise and an admonition to be perfect.

It was just acting as if nothing happened. In order not to crack the mask covering his face, he forgot to smile.

What kind of expression do you have right now?

A face with only fragments of a shattered mask remaining would be ugly.

When he saw his reflection in the transparent window, the corners of his mouth twisted without realizing it.

The wet hair on his cheeks, the blue eyes shining uncontrollably even in the face that was distorted as if he was about to cry at any moment, made him resent him.

Why is she herself the eldest daughter of Julis?

Why should she be called a shield by others?

Is there really no one who looks at me as Irene Yuris, not as a kick shield?

Evan’s bitterly smiling face suddenly came to mind, and then it shattered in the air.

Even after hearing those harsh words, she said only words of concern, and her clenched fists were stained white with the guilt that pierced her heart.

“…Please.”

Please don’t come close to me.

A whisper that no one will hear spreads in the air.

The unreachable voice hit the window and faded away, and the silence that came back was exceptionally quiet.

Her hands that gripped the collar of her negligee loosened up, and she lay down on the sofa as if she were about to collapse again.

Evan Fried pondered the name for a moment, then shook her head.

Suppressing her rising emotions, she takes out her mask and puts it on again.

As if to hide her distorted face, indifference settled in her expression again, and only the blue eyes shone in the air.

Blue eyes resembling his father carelessly pass the air.

Rebuking me for trying to get drunk on the sweetness of a moment, I turn on the light again and look at the documents.

Without realizing the existence of the poison that had already infiltrated deep within his heart.
