Became the Escort Knight of the Villain in the Romance Novel

72 – One Star for You (4)

A maid’s morning always starts a little earlier than before the sun rises.

In order to complete all her preparations before the person she serves wakes up,

And… To take care of the one person the attendant cares about.

Evan Fried, when I remembered that person’s name, I felt my shoulders shake for some reason.

If you think about it, it’s just one person, but hasn’t the atmosphere of this dull duke’s house changed so much?

At first, he was the only person who listened to Sir Chris’ stories from time to time.

He always has a face that looks like he’s going to die, a person who raises his pale hand and wields a sword.

But he is more talented than anyone else… A person who doesn’t want to get close to anyone easily.

The lady’s escort knights always lasted less than a month, so I thought it would be the case this time too.

Even if you think about it, the girl’s personality is not something that a normal person can endure.

However, the impression I got the moment I met him for the first time was never the same feeling I had heard from Sir Chris.

– What’s your name? Do you know my name

I remember the knight who reached out to carry my luggage.

Back then, the difference in height wasn’t that great, so why did you grow so tall?

As usual, he takes out a cookie placed on the side of the bed and bites it, then walks down the hallway humming his song again.

My body moved on its own in the daily life I was so accustomed to.

All you need are two towels and a bucket of water.

There was always a person in the garden at this time, so I walked back and slowly headed towards the garden.

Wheek- Poof-

Now, the sound of swinging a sword that comes like a melody makes my steps lighter.

Wouldn’t it be awkward if I couldn’t hear this sound now?

I always felt that, but he was a very diligent person.

Sometimes, to the extent that I feel desperate for something.

Let’s wave his hand at him wielding a sword from the side of the garden,

The knight who soon found himself shook his hand. No, should I say knight?

“Here you are again.”

“You came here again.”

“It happens all the time. Now you don’t even say thank you.”

“Thank you.”

To be honest, I didn’t mean to say thank you.

Well, it’s just that I’m used to this kind of routine now.

However, hearing that thank you was somehow embarrassing, so I just laughed like I always do.

When I saw him sweeping his sweaty hair, there was one thing that convinced me.

Rize’s unnie and the young lady’s as well. Why do you like that person so much?

In fact, in many ways, isn’t he a pretty good person?

It’s not that he doesn’t have a bad personality, he’s got his own abilities… It’s a waste to say he’s outstanding.

I lived pretending not to know anything,

The stories of the ladies-in-waiting conveyed quite a lot of the flow of the world.

In other words, I had no choice but to learn a lot about the kind of person Evan Fried was, both externally and internally.

He felt it even when they first met, but what he showed himself was pure goodwill.

I have met many people who send such favors.

In order to take advantage of themselves, most of them pretended to be kind on the outside, but harbored a sinister mind on the inside.

Only two people.

There were only two people who showed pure kindness to him with such a smile.

Lady, well, to be honest, she didn’t treat me kindly.

It’s just that they took time and became close to each other, because in the past they were treated the same as normal ladies-in-waiting.

So except for Sir Chris and Evan,

It was as if no one had ever shown her such a favor.

“Aren’t you tired?”

“Not really.”

When I asked about a thought that suddenly came to my mind, he nodded his head as if nothing had happened.

It was strange how he answered, “Isn’t it difficult?” With his whole body drenched in sweat,

Maybe he answered honestly in his own way. It’s been 4 years since I’ve been living like this.

If you think of the training you received from Sir Chris before that,

To him, this kind of life must be a daily routine that he would regret if he did not get used to it.

“My lady needs to see this.”

Then, wouldn’t he be muttering to himself while blushing?

Of course, it’s like that in a place where the driver can’t see it, but

However, he also smiled and turned his gaze toward himself, probably thinking the same thing.

“Did you notice everything?”

“Because I am not an idiot either. Pretend you don’t know.”

There was a time when he lived as a tramp. A time I would never have survived if I hadn’t noticed,

Even if the body became comfortable, the senses at that time were still alive.

I could clearly see what kind of air currents were flowing between the two.

It was a story I heard very often while living as a court lady.

Some young-sik has a crush on a Young lady, and a certain Young lady has a crush on a young-sik.

Seeing it for yourself and listening to it so much that it’s almost deafening, how can you not notice it?

I just kept quiet because I didn’t have to show off.

I was happy with the change in the lady, and I liked the fact that she had clearly brightened up unlike before, when I was alone in a bleak atmosphere.

With that thought, he looked at the person standing in front of him again.

Isn’t the change that one person, just one person, made to this duke’s residence quite huge?

The ripples he had on himself were also not small, so he pouted at him and sneered at him.

“When the hell are you going to confess? People watching will die of frustration.”

“…I don’t know, I’m still not sure.”

Confident about what? Sometimes, if there is something you do not understand,

From noble mtl dot com

It was about something he was always worried about.

The future, always preparing for something.

It doesn’t seem like they didn’t notice that each other’s hearts are mutual,

What the hell are you so worried about? However, there is no way to know that

I couldn’t help but sigh as I quietly closed my eyes.

He was a good person. I can’t say there’s not a little bit of dust, but

Even with that in mind, Evan Fried could be said to be a good person.

He is kind to the people around him and has his own beliefs.

That said, he doesn’t neglect his position as an escort knight, and he doesn’t try to wield his position, which has risen significantly in recent years.

Despite being the son of an aristocrat, he didn’t often show a dignified appearance,

His unique affinity made people flock to him.

How long did it take him to become acquainted with the servants of the duke’s residence after he became an escort?

As he laughed at the memory that hadn’t taken him less than a week, he shook his head at the stare at him.

And then, took.

Frowns at the hand that casually rests on his head.

Wouldn’t it be time for him to stop treating himself like a child?

However, I couldn’t help feeling strangely comfortable with that touch, so all I could do was stare at him with pouting lips.

“Don’t like it?”

“…Who hates it?”

I didn’t hate the touch that stroked my cheek, the rough palm that rubbed my hair…

I didn’t like being treated like a child, but it was true that I felt relieved when this person did that.

He probably wouldn’t have felt like this if he had a brother. He was a strange man

It was rare to find someone who gave me such a sense of comfort.

If Sir Chris was something like his grandfather, this man was like his brother.

I wonder if he has a younger brother, somehow the way he handles himself looks familiar.

I carefully removed his hand from my cheek and started grunting.

Curiously, he had no love for him.

Should I rather say that it is very strange that other people have feelings for him?

Maybe it’s because he’s not really interested in going out with anyone.

Having already seen the dark side of this world,

The innocence of being consumed by fairytale-like stories like love has long since disappeared.

“I will go now. I have to go wake her up.”

“Yes, I will take good care of you.”

“Maybe he’s up by now.”

“Do you get up that early?”

Well, since today is the day when the seasonal festival is held, isn’t it natural?

He must have stayed up all night. I wondered why the young lady seemed particularly excited these days,

When I remembered that it was a seasonal festival, I immediately understood it.

The map the two of us looked at hand in hand the other day was probably related to that seasonal festival.

I wanted to go like a chimney, but I calmly withdrew because I thought it would be better to leave this year.

“Cheer up. Today is an important day.”

“Okay, I’ll try my best.”

Just as he was about to turn his back, his steps stopped for a moment at the voice directed at him.

“You can look forward to today.”

“…What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“I’m going to be a little… Courageous. Like this and that.”

As if embarrassed, I laugh at the sight of him scratching his head.

A boy in love was bound to look quite funny from the viewer’s point of view.

Still, cheering for you is the right thing to do.

As if he had made a great decision, he clenched a small fist at him as he stared into the air with a stiff expression.

“Cheer up?”

It’s about cheering me on, I could do as much as I wanted.

#

Smart-

“Come in.”

At the sound of knocking on the door, as if it were natural, an answer came from over there.

You were awake as well. Let’s go in with a smile at that thought,

The figure of a young lady contemplating something with her corset lifted caught my eye.

Her slightly wet hair means she got up and washed earlier than she thought.

But when? I can’t figure out the time,

I spoke to her cautiously as she stared at her corset.

“My lady? Are you up already?”

“Because I couldn’t sleep. I washed it beforehand, so I don’t need to prepare anything else.”

“Um…Well, it’s better to get a lot of sleep. It’s good for your skin, too, because if you don’t get enough sleep, your complexion may look darker than usual.”

At those words, the lady’s gaze, which had been staring at her corset, turned to me.

Pretty startled, her twitching head turned to meet her gaze and then she cautiously pursed her lips.

I wonder if there was something that came up, but I was naturally nervous at her serious expression.

Before long, I sighed involuntarily at the voice I heard.

“…Does my skin look dark? Really?”

I don’t usually do that, but when I talk about only one person, I look so stupid.

I couldn’t help but worry about this young lady these days. Of course, the driver is a good person, but

Still, what would you do if you were swung around like that?

I’ve never done anything like dating, and I have no intention of doing it…But I couldn’t just leave a girl like that alone.

“Your skin is good, lady. You look perfect today.”

“Then I’m glad.”

“But lady, I heard something from a friend.”

“Talk?”

“I heard before that a friend of mine had a crush on him, but he said he was dating this time.”

For a moment, I didn’t miss the bright spot in the eyes of the young lady.

I have no choice but to pay attention.

At one time, even the young lady dismissed her love story as useless,

After all, she was a girl and she was a girl in her prime.

Even if you are in love, you will have no choice but to be fascinated by this story.

The principle of love was push and pull.

Of course, right now, the lady is on the side of the knight who is undoubtedly swaying…

Anyway, if you think that the two will continue later, you can’t let the relationship be established like this.

To me, Irene Uris was a lifelong benefactor.

The person who saved him on that cold road, even if he told him to go out and die, he was willing to do so.

Because she was her life in the first place, she would die someday if it weren’t for her.

But she is such a lady of her own that a man swayed her like this.

With that determination to help her young lady, she slowly began to open her mouth.

“How smart a man is, there are a lot of women around him, but they say they like him. He said he couldn’t sleep because he was anxious.”

“It deserves it.”

“But again, I don’t express it well, and if I do express it, at best, holding hands and hugging is the end. I was frustrated and thought about breaking up.”

“So far…Well.”

What if I sympathize with them? My appetite felt bitter.

How the hell does this girl fall in love?

If it had been a man other than the driver, it was obvious that he would have been used to his heart’s content.

But the baby must be finished. Let’s open our mouth again,

The corner of her mouth twitched at the sight of the young lady listening again.

“My friend said he was worried about that. She wonders if she lacks charm, she seems to be appealing in her own way, but her progress is still at a standstill.”

“Keep talking.”

“That’s exactly what came to mind then. Just close your eyes and let yourself do it first!”

What she imagined, the young lady’s face blushed when she heard that.

He stroked her cheeks like someone who had heard the unheard, then licked her lips with an excited breath.

“…What the hell did you do?”

“I’ll leave it to your imagination, lady. I too… I am ashamed to say more than this.”

If I gave her this much advice, I might change her mind a little.

When I looked away at that thought, the red-stained face of the girl came into view.

It’s not a little bit… It seems that I somehow overinterpreted it. Still, I wonder if you know how to do it well.

Still, since he is the one who makes everything stand out, all that was left was to believe and wait.

“Now, you have to put on the dress. The festival starts in the evening, but there is not enough time to prepare.”

Shaking his hand vigorously, he said, and the girl who had been sitting absent-mindedly nodded her head.

Unlike just before, when he seemed a little lost, he breathes lightly in a determined attitude.

Yes, she would do well as a young lady. She cleared her mind of a little uneasiness again and began to move her steps toward her closet.

Seasons mark the start of summer.

It could be said that it was an event that announced the end of the season when life blooms and the world is dyed in all natural colors, and at the same time the beginning of recording.

If winter is the season close to solitude that stimulates people’s hearts, isn’t summer the season when all ties properly face each other?

Winter, the season when the leaves that fell in the cold season regain their place.

The season when a warm wind blows that does not go well with the cold north. The season when the sprouts that endured winter and spring finally bear fruit.

The time is approaching when the relationship that was established four years ago will bear fruit.

You could call it fluttering for no reason, but isn’t it a natural step?

The landscape, which is gradually being dyed with green paint, was rustling outside the window.

The wind blowing from over there was pleasantly warm,

I just quietly enjoyed the situation with my eyes closed. After today, what will happen to the relationship between the two?

Are we going to repeat the same situation again without any progress?

Or take a step in a new direction.

Only tomorrow’s self will know the answer.

Fishu-

Pow-!

A night sky with brilliant stars twinkling, green firecrackers that were so colorless that the stars were shining began to color the air.

A celebration that announces the end and beginning of the season at the same time.

With that loud sound, the wheel of fate began to turn again.
