54. Between the Saint and the Apostle (5)

1.

“Luke, I’m bored.”

“That is quite a coincidence. I think I’m going to die of boredom.”

“Is it still far?”

“It’s almost over.”

Adele, who chose to sit next to me rather than across from her, whines as she leans her head on my shoulder. Adele’s image, which has become more attached to me since the last day in the island, was a little strange but welcome. Should I say that she feels like seeing a arrogant cat open up to me and transform into a dog kitty.

It has already been the third day since I rode a carriage and crossed the border of the kingdom. We still had plenty of time to reach the Cathedral of Lumineria, so it took four more days to arrive.

We didn’t need an escort because of Adele’s presence, so we set out on this tedious week-long journey with only one coachman hired. At least the coachman would be more boring than the two of us with each other, but since he makes a living doing this, he should be used to that. I even get some money. I don’t think it’s a very good look to be too overbearing.

“If you finish right now, I could do something very nice…”

“It’s not pleasant, it’s just torture under the guise of a shoulder massage.”

“Huh.”

No, of course, I feel good when a beauty like Adele is rubbing my shoulder with her small hand. Surprisingly, Adele knew surprisingly well how to give me a massage so that I could feel cool.

However, the end of the massage, where I had to pay the karma of the prank I played in the island…

Ah, just thinking about it makes my body tremble. It really couldn’t have been cooler than that. On the other hand, Adele said, ‘Huh? Luke, aren’t you feeling a bit groggy?” And remembering that he ran his thumb along the line of my shoulder blade and then pressed down on the upper part, so I’m a little afraid.

“…Then.”

The moment I tried to roll her eyes slightly to the side, wondering what she was trying to say this time, I felt Adele’s warm breath tickle my ear. And the sticky yet sweet temptation that follows gently touches the strings of my reason.

“I’ll do something really nice this time. How is it…? I, Luke, are welcome.”

Adele’s hand slides across my body in a movement reminiscent of her snake, from the shoulder she was leaning on to the other side. And the other hand as well.

Her red tongue sticks out from Adele’s dainty yet enchanting lips as she completely covers my shoulders and drops her head very slightly.

“Ah, Adele…Let… Ugh!”

I dug under the collar of my shirt, between my collarbone and shoulder, and gently ran my tongue over the skin underneath.

“The first person I fell in love with in my life. The first person I completely gave my heart to. The first person other than my family to say I love you. And above all…”

In the carriage, where the silence flowed in a different atmosphere than usual, I felt the sensation of Adele lightly kissing my neck along with the sound that only made me feel louder. The hot heat spreading from the place where her lips met gave me a feeling as if I had been bitten by something on her part.

Adele’s kiss baptism continued several more times. It was after kissing her about five or six times that she opened her mouth again.

“My only love, who will be with me for the rest of my life. You are that kind of person to me, Luke.”

Jjook… Jeok…

And the passionate kiss that follows. She sucks on my skin, then licks it, and at the end, I lightly kiss her lips again where she kissed her fiercely. Even without looking at it directly, it was not difficult to guess that the red energy was slowly rising.

“And this mark is a token I leave behind to mean that you are mine, Luke.”

At the same time as she left the words that evoked her strong possessive desire, Adele changed her posture and put her body on top of her. With Adele on top of me, she lifts her hand slightly as they sit facing each other. Then she completely undoes the ribbon of her blouse, revealing her immaculate underside to the point that she involuntarily wets her lips with her tongue.

“Only I can own you, Luke. Don’t give it to anyone else Of course I am too, only you. My body, my mind, everything is yours.”

Adele, who took my hand and put it on my collarbone, stared at me with burning eyes as if she would get burned at any moment, and she proudly asserted ownership of me. Ownership of her is on the contrary, she says.

I am not a eunuch. It is impossible for such a beautiful lover to seduce me openly right in front of her nose, but to pass it over casually like a stone statue.

But I persevered. Even if you hear that you can’t eat it even if you give it, there is a line you want to protect.

“Whoa… Adele, I don’t think it’s a bit much to do that in a carriage like this. At least find a decent place to stay…”

“…”

The sight of Adele looking down at me with an expression somewhere between understanding and dissatisfied was truly irritating. I wanted to give in to her temptation right away, but with her superhuman patience, I gritted my teeth and endured it.

“Isn’t it possible that I am not attractive enough to put up with it so hard?”

“No, it can’t be. I’m dying too.”

“…I guess so.”

When Adele said that, lowering her gaze slightly, my face flushed. Do you just say you changed your mind and attack me?

“Actually, I just said it as a joke this time…”

…What the f*ck?

“Luke, are you sure you promised? When we arrive, we will find accommodation in the best place nearby, so be prepared.”

Ah, this really might get eaten by Adele sooner or later. I thought so.

Anyway, after saying that confidently, I grabbed Adele’s hand to stop her from tying the ribbon on her blouse again. I wrap my arms around the waist of Adele, who sends her questionable eyes, and I also place my lips on her exposed skin.

The exact same spot where Adele proudly left her kiss marks on me. In her place, just as she did to me, she clearly leaves her mark, thereby recognizing my ownership of her over her.

“Ah… Luke, that, that’s not it…!”

When he did the same thing to me, it gave off an atmosphere like a mature older sister who seemed to want to eat me at any moment.

“Ha ha…”

“But Adele, before we get married anyway…”

“Luke.”

“Yes?”

“Shall we ask the saintess to officiate at the church and get married right away?”

“…She said she was an apostle, not a saint.”

“I don’t know. Let’s just get married.”

As I watched Adele frolicking with an infinitely serious face, I was able to experience with my own body what it feels like to have your eyes darkened.

It wasn’t until much later that I was able to refocus on what I was doing and get the finishing touches done.

2.

It was not until the evening of the 8th day, a day later than expected, that we arrived at the central city of the Church where the Lumineria Cathedral was located.

Since I made up my vigil with my magic, there were no major problems during the trip even though there were only three people including the coachman. A small band of bandits tried to attack us once along the way, but they died at the hands of Adele. It was really unfortunate.

“Luke, the quarters. Right Now.”

Shrugging my shoulders at Adele’s prompting, I moved to find the most expensive and luxurious inn in the area.

Perhaps Adele lived a frugal life, and in the previous episode, when she visited Kyo-guk, she said she just stayed at an ordinary inn. So we had to inquire about the inn most used by nobles in this area, and as a result.

[The Sanctuary of the Breeze]

I came across a three-story inn whose entire outer wall was painted white with a hint of green. The fact that white, which tends to get dirty easily, was painted on the exterior walls rather than the inside of the building means that I am confident that I can take good care of it.

In fact, the inn building was so clean that even at first glance, you could feel the luxurious atmosphere. Judging from Adele’s sullen expression as she rushed to find the inn, it didn’t seem like it was another place she particularly liked.

Actually, I don’t know if it’s the way it is, but Adele is a person who can be treated as an honored guest wherever she goes. Although it has not yet been officially announced that she has risen to the level of Master. Masters visiting foreign countries are placed on the top priority for monitoring, and at the same time, they are forced to be treated as honored guests.

If the Master, who is an irresistible being, decides and goes on a rampage, the resulting damage is astronomical, so in most countries, as long as they are sane, they treat the Master as an honored guest and do not let him out of their sight.

However, this does not apply to Adele, who has not yet officially moved beyond the level of an expert, not a master. The only ones who knew that Adele was a Master were the knights of the Duke of Meyer, her family, the knights of my family, and her father.

The three apostles who had already met their end by Adele’s hand, and perhaps the rest of the apostles, may also know about it. If you recall what Scorpio looked like not long ago, it would be reasonable to say that he knew it.

Anyway. For that reason, we chose to just settle for an inn rather than relying on the favor of a powerful family in the vicinity of Gutaei, but if Adele doesn’t like her, it’s a different story again.

“Adele, is this place not good for you?”

“Yeah, no. Not really. Just something to think about…”

“…You’re not going to talk about that marriage again, are you?”

“What if?”

Suddenly, the sullen expression had disappeared without a trace, and Adele’s face was tinged with her signature mischievous smile whenever she made fun of me.

“Think, I will try.”

In order not to get caught up in her pranks, I opened the door of the inn and walked away.

The first thing that caught my eye was the hairy innkeeper who seemed to be writing something behind the counter right next to the entrance. Aside from the thick hair on her arms, forearms, and all over her face, she was surprisingly mild-mannered, which surprised me a little.

Other than that, there was a kitchen with a structure that allows you to look inside from the outside, and several tables made of wood that are a little more luxurious than those of ordinary inns.

“Hmm? These are rare young guests. Welcome to our Breeze Sanctuary Bio.”

“Nice to meet you, host. I would like to ask if the best room in this inn is currently vacant.”

“You mean the best room in this inn? All of them are empty now, and the price is only 3 gold coins per night. The price includes all services, such as breakfast and preparing bath water.”

An inn that accepts and eats three gold coins per night. 3 Gold coins. Even in peon, it is 9,000 peon, and if calculated in won, it is 900,000 won per night. No matter how good the room was, it would end up being nothing more than an inn room. Or is this a hotel suite of some kind? This is the day when the word nobility is a money bag comes to mind.

Adele and I have to book two separate rooms, so 1.8 Million won per night. It was an amount that I had no choice but to stick out my tongue, despite the fact that my heart had become much richer while robbing Scorpio’s barn.

“13 Nights… No, 14 nights. Two rooms…”

“One. Please make one room.”

The innkeeper’s mustache twitched at Adele’s bold statement. Was it because the amount of money he was able to receive was cut in half, or was he surprised to hear that a young aristocrat who had seemingly just come of age, and a man and a woman would share a room together. I don’t know which one, but I couldn’t help but be a little embarrassed by Adele’s bombshell remarks.

“Kuhm! Of course, Lady. The price will be 42 gold coins, and you can request the preparation of bath water through the magic device in the separate room, so you can call at any time. Please note that breakfast is only served from 6:00 am to 10:00 am.”

While saying that, the innkeeper looked at me with envious eyes, took out a key from a drawer, handed it to me, and gave me the number of the room we would use.

“If you go up to the third floor, there will be a room with a sign with the number 303 on it. You may use that room.”

“Okay.”

I put my hand into the bosom of my jacket and pulled out a pocket that had expanded inside with magic. What’s inside this is Scorpio’s treasure trove itself. Let’s put our hands in our pockets and move our magic while remembering the gold coin.

Challenge-

“…Huh. Were you a wizard?”

Looking at the gold coins piled up in 10 increments, the innkeeper exclaimed. Adele, now more or less accustomed to her outward appearance with my magic, only shrugged lightly at me.

“42 Gold coins, checked properly. Well then, good night both of you.”

At the innkeeper’s words, Adele and I awkwardly avoided each other’s eyes. No matter how aggressive Adele was, wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassing to see her explicit comments coming out of someone else’s mouth?
