The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away

23. Good Dream

Leaving home early in the morning, Elijah looked out the window with his chin on his chin.

She used the window of the train as drawing paper, and the scenery changed moment by moment.

Only once a year.

It’s the day she allows herself to be weak.

She skipped breakfast and decided to skip dinner.

I can’t eat as much as today.

She just blankly looked outside as she passed by.

It’s as if the years have passed by so quickly.

It’s already been 5 years.

Leah, who sat across from her, silently watched Elijah.

There were no escort troops in particular.

She used to take anyone with her, but now it’s no longer needed.

If you want to attack the perfected magician Elijah, you have to take a lot of damage.

The destination is the distance you can travel by teleporting.

Use continuous teleport.

But Elijah didn’t.

She chose a cumbersome and difficult way.

Today is the day it should be.

It is a day when she becomes weak, but it is also a day when she tempers her spirit.

To her, today’s road was no different from an ascetic road.

It shouldn’t be comfortable.

As she went, she came up with random images without a center.

Among them was Judas.

She regretted not having dinner with her tonight.

She actually wished she was a little bit, but she didn’t allow herself.

The train stopped at the terminus.

Gethsemani.

A quiet and bleak town.

This is not a place for someone like Elijah to come.

But Elijah was accustomed to walking.

She visits at least once a year.

If you leave the village and enter the fields, you will come across a low mountain.

A hill with no roads.

Elijah went forward, blowing a wind in front of her.

The blade-like wind cut the grass and opened the way.

At the end.

Halfway up the hill where no one seems to be.

There was a tombstone.

My mother’s tombstone.

She was originally going to be enshrined in her own mansion, but Elijah refused.

It is a dangerous place where blood and wind will rage someday.

You may get caught up in a war with the Bebel family.

So she hid it here.

In a small hill not far from where her mother died.

It’s been 5 years since her mother died.

Today is the anniversary.

A stone stele that has accumulated dust and grass and is slightly worn.

Elijah mowed the grass himself and wiped the dust with her handkerchief.

After she cleaned up, she quietly hugged her tombstone.

She’s still too big to hold.

But Elijah didn’t care.

She

She cherished it as if to soothe the cold.

Tears flowed involuntarily from her eyes.

I didn’t blame myself for today.

I didn’t whip him for not being weak.

Because there is only one day per year allowed.

“Mom….”

She muttered as she pressed her face to her tombstone.

“This is the beginning…. I, I will kill them all….”

The Bevel Family.

Assassins Guild.

And anyone else who is targeting them.

“Now that I am on my side…. Do not worry….”

Destroy all enemies and come back here.

Then I will come back with a different look and move her tombstone to her mansion.

“I will kill them all, so watch over me…” .”

Elijah kissed her tombstone one last time.

The cold and harsh stone received the warmth of the small lips.

And yet she held the tombstone for a very long time, she closed her eyes and remained still. She

Imparted a lot of her own warmth to her cold tombstone.

Because it will be cold and lonely here by myself.

After a while she opened her eyes.

“I’ll come back next time. Hi.”

Elijah stroked her tombstone one last time and turned around.

She erased her crying face before she knew it, and Elijah’s expression became hardened.

“Let’s go.”

Leah, who had been waiting behind her, quietly followed her.

Before leaving, Leah glanced back at her.

The name was written on the tombstone.

The name of Elijah’s birth mother.

The tombstone with ‘Maria’ written on it saw them off in their place.

As of today, it’s already been 5 years.

*

It was about evening when Elijah returned to her mansion.

It was time for her to dine with Judas, but she had no appetite today.

But Judas has to take care of something to eat.

So she found him….

“… Didn’t you come back?”

Anna bowed her head as if to apologize.

“Yes, lady. It’s time for her to come back, but she hasn’t come yet. Did you make the training a little longer….”

It’s not impossible.

However, Elijah calculated another possibility.

‘My blood is coming here.’

Direct children including Ballack.

She is on her way to the mansion to formally protest that she arbitrarily arrested Narcissus.

She didn’t bother to resent the fact that she came close to her mother’s death.

We weren’t even close enough to be considerate of each other.

It doesn’t even arrive on the same day.

Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Just.

‘Someone of them may have approached Judas.’

The news that Judas is a favored person is well known even to the parent family.

It is difficult to touch directly, but it is possible that he touched Judas.

No.

I immediately think of a suspect who would do such a thing.

The most unruly gore among Balak’s children.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Sarah….’

“Oh, miss?”

Anna was appalled and called Elijah.

Because Elijah’s eyes glowed with gold.

Elijah didn’t answer and she immediately disappeared.

Once, I used a teleport to the training camp, the last place Judas was.

*

“Yumma! I can’t! I can’t go, so you come!”

Sarah sat down in front of Judas who shouted.

“Heeuk….”

“Lady Sarah!”

“What are these guys doing… !”

Two of her knights brought to her hiccups.

One of them was a squire who had decided to fight that lowly people.

Sarah quickly made up her mind.

She brought two knights herself.

She didn’t have to be scared.

I was about to get up when someone suddenly appeared and interrupted me.

“What are you doing here?”

The faithful sword of Balak.

The leader of the knights of Bevel.

“I didn’t receive any word that he was coming.”

Gawain appeared and blocked their way.

Stand as if confronting Sarah.

Sara knows very well that Gawain is on Balak’s side.

I hurriedly got up from my seat.

“Sir Gawain! Welcome!”

She has become more energetic and points her finger at Judas who is sulking….

“… ….”

… She did and put her hand down.

Because Judas was staring at him.

“Me, me, see that?! Look at what that guy does to me! How dare you despise this body!”

“Judas. This is Sarah di Bebel, the fifth daughter of Archduke Balak.”

“Did you hear that?!”

“Yes. I heard it earlier. But that doesn’t really matter. That man insulted my master first.”

“Um….”

Gawain stroked his chin in trouble.

To Sarah, Elijah is a dirty bastard, but Judas is different.

She is precious and noble enough to save her life, and she is the owner who loves her with the heart of a fresh boy, although she may not be able to achieve that.

I don’t know what Judas was thinking, but Gawain made his own judgment.

It is not common for Judas to insult Elijah in front of her.

“Then, how about doing it this way? Since we are in a position where we cannot back down, we decided to hide the wrongs through a duel….”

“Exactly what I hoped for!”

Sarah exclaimed vigorously.

She immediately pushes forward one of the seeds next to her and says.

“I will introduce my opponent.”

The boy bowed moderately.

“This is the Miserum Horn who has the honor of serving Lady Sarah. Brighten up your name….”

The boy stopped talking and looked behind Judas.

Because a crowd of people was coming from that direction.

Judah also turned around.

“Judas? I’m not going, what are you doing here?”

Richard.

“Why is Sir Gawain here….”

Dylan.

“Who are those people?”

Lindel.

“Aren’t accidents endless everywhere you go?”

Argon.

The people in room 13, including the four, rushed towards us.

While resting near the entrance, they heard a strange commotion and came out to watch.

As a result, I found Judas confronting Sarah.

Sarah involuntarily inhaled.

For some reason, the group of men approaching with a crude attitude was threatening.

Even though they are all boys of the same age.

Gawain briefly explained the situation.

Then, in room 13, they camped out and sat down as if they were watching.

“Judah, are you going to win?”

“It’s been a while since I saw something funny.”

“Well, it’s been a while since I saw Judas fight in earnest.”

“But can we take a look?”

Dylan asked, and Gawain looked at Sarah and Judas.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Judah said calmly.

Sarah didn’t lose either.

“Of course not! Watch me win!”

Sarah could have refused admission, but she did not.

Because she was sure she would win.

Gawain nodded his head in agreement.

Room 13 was also relieved and sat down.

Judas bluntly revealed her name.

“Judas Defacet.”

It was a short and cheeky introduction.

He quickly identified Miserum.

‘Left-handed. He’s a little taller than me. His skeleton is thin. I don’t know about magic power, but the power fight is valid anyway.’

Gawain asked Sara for consent.

“Let’s get started.”

“Hey! However much!”

He dropped his glove.

It was the signal to start.

Miserum rushed straight ahead.

Closes the distance at once, and puts the inertia on the fist as it is.

At that moment, Judas was convinced.

‘I won.’

She suddenly realized that she had grown up.

For a young age, the opponent is not a fool.

Her fists are pretty sharp.

But it looks very clear.

It’s just that I haven’t had a chance to realize it because I’m usually beaten up by Gawain.

The heat had risen from just before.

Release that power as it is.

[Magical Liberation (Lv.28)]

Judas collided with Miserum as it was.

Her fist deflects clumsily.

Likewise, Miserum, who used magic, did not fall.

A power struggle took place at close range.

Surely, Miserum’s hand grabbed Judas by the collar.

In other words, it means that Judas has come up to a suitable distance and position for snatching.

What happened right after that was an instant.

Even though Miserum was defeated, Sara was mesmerized by the scene that unfolded.

It was even beautiful.

Judas grabbed Miserum’s sleeve and wondered how to shake it, then turned her back.

After that, Miserum’s body was sucked into Judas.

It floated in the air and then fell.

Judas slammed him to the floor with all his might.

A technique used only for sleeves.

‘Sleeve holder.’

Thump! With a dull noise, Miserum let out a rough breath.

“Keah-!”

A pain like being hit on the back with a heavy, hard blunt instrument penetrated the whole body.

The fallen Miserum couldn’t control his body and only trembled.

The spectators in Room 13 all stood up and cheered.

“Whoah-!”

“Kiya!”

“This is it, this is it!”

Judas leisurely waved her hand at them.

Gawain, who was watching, was quietly satisfied.

She stroked his chin and smiled lightly, nodding his head without anyone noticing.

Um. It should be like this.

Amid the enthusiastic support of Room 13, Judas grinned at Sarah.

“You next?”

“This, this, profit… !”

Sarah was shaking her fists when suddenly someone appeared in their center.

It was Judas who first recognized the identity.

“Oh, lady?!”

It was Elijah.

Arriving, Elijah slowly scanned the surroundings with her glowing eyes.

First I saw Judas.

For now, it looks fine.

A young knight fell beside him.

And Sarah trembled.

It was a sufficient clue to figure out the situation.

She is well aware of Sarah’s childish eccentricities.

Elijah took one step toward Sarah.

“Sister Sara.”

It was a coldly forged voice.

Judah took a step back and drank from Richard.

Her heart tightened even though she wasn’t calling herself.

“Eh, Elijah… !”

“There are many things I want to ask you, but I am a bit tired today. I won’t be bothered to pursue this and that. Get out of here quickly.”

“You, you! How the hell do you manage people under you?”

“Don’t make me say it twice.”

“What the hell is that thing wrapped around like this? How could you be engaged to that lowly person?!”

This was meant to be sarcastic, but Elijah calmly replied back.

“What if?”

Pu-sup-!

Judas spewed out the water he was drinking like a whale.

Elija was still calm while he was coughing violently from a fever.

Richard patted Judas on the back.

“What would you do if you did, and what would you do if you didn’t? Shouldn’t you be hoping that I don’t? If that were true, I would be even more angry than I am now.”

“You, you… !”

“Go back to the safe arms of your family soon. Without a background or powerless, wandering carelessly.”

Elijah strode towards Sarah.

With a shadow over her face, she speaks low into her ear.

Sarah froze like a frog in front of her snake.

Her blazing eyes seemed like they were going to eat it.

“If you step on the wrong foot, you might die without anyone knowing.”

“… ….”

Sarah sat down on the spot as if collapsing.

Her legs gave out again.

Crying like a hiccup, she soon sobs.

“Damn it… ! Aww! Mom, give my mom back!”

“My ears hurt….”

Elijah looked down at Sarah like an immature child.

She gestured annoyedly to the knight behind her.

Take him and disappear.

Intimidated by Elijah’s spirit, he fled with the fainted servant and the weeping nobleman.

Elijah pressed her eyes tightly.

Why bother yourself on a day like today?

And when she turned around, she found Judas with her blushing face.

“… Judah? Are you sick?”

“No, no, it’s okay.”

“Did they do anything? Shall I bring it to you and interrogate you?”

“No, no. It’s really fine.”

If I had to argue, it was because of Elijah.

She made a strange noise and she almost fainted while drinking water.

“That’s because I just swallowed the wrong water. I am fine.”

“Really?”

Elijah glanced around.

The candidates in room 13, who had been huddled together and laughing, were getting nervous before they knew it.

I found them right after they arrived, and they were very excited.

The reason was easily guessed.

To support and respond to Judas.

She wasn’t too bad about it.

Gawain asked sneakily.

“Me, lady? What did you come here for?”

“To take him. You didn’t come home.”

That ‘boy’, Judas, awkwardly pulled the corners of her mouth and rolled her eyes.

To say I didn’t come home and came to pick you up is, a bit, an expression….

“And for some reason, I think Sarah would have come here, so it’s a combination.”

As if his business was over, Elijah looked around.

“Then I’ll leave.”

He grabs Judas’ hand.

Before teleporting, Hermis and I met eyes.

She is the person who escorts Judas.

You should take it with you.

But for some reason, she didn’t want to.

“Oh…. Miss?”

No way, no way, Hermis called.

That hypothesis was correct.

Elijah took only Judas and disappeared.

“… ….”

Remaining in place, Hermis blankly blinked his eyes.

Fortunately, the wagon is here, so we can go back.

The rest of the staff awkwardly saw her off on her way.

*

“Whoa….”

Upon returning to her mansion, Elijah was embraced by Judas.

Her mind was somewhat at ease.

Judas couldn’t bear to hold her face, so she just stiffened.

Then the door burst open.

“Lady?!”

Lea hurriedly came in.

“Suddenly, where….”

When she sees her hugged by Judas, she shuts her mouth.

Judas shook her head quickly, watching her slowly grow cold eyes.

She means that she has absolutely nothing to do with this.

Elijah said while holding Judas in his arms.

With her face buried, a mumbling voice came out.

“I went to pick him up.”

Um.

Does it really have to be expressed that way?

Judah thought to himself.

‘It’s like trying to catch a husband who left home…. Ah. Slowly I’m going crazy….’

Elijah squeezed her eyes and frowned.

She looked tired and exhausted today.

I heard you were busy, so what happened?

Judas asked her sneakily.

“You look very tired.”

“A little….”

Answering, Elijah raised her head.

She looked up at him while holding him.

The emotions on her close face are unfamiliar.

It’s unfamiliar, but it’s an emotion I’ve seen from Judas several times.

Now I thought I knew what the name of that feeling was.

“Judas. Now… Were you ‘concerned’ about me?”

Judas did not answer right away.

‘What did I do wrong? Shouldn’t I be worried?’

She couldn’t figure out what the question meant.

It was funny to say no, so I accepted it without hesitation.

“Yes, that is correct.”

“Why?”

“Um…. Just?”

There is no particular reason.

People can worry about people.

It was different for Elijah.

Just.

This means that there is no price or condition to the action.

Has he already become a person who is unconditional, just like Judas said?

… Is it okay?

Judas, unaware of the truth, only rolled her eyes in bewilderment.

At that foolish look, Elijah laughed involuntarily.

She seemed to be blown away by the day she was suffering.

Elijah laughed, so she thought Judas was lucky anyway.

Does that mean you still have the strength to laugh?

“Judas.”

“Yes. Miss.”

“I am hungry.”

I tried to skip meals, but I couldn’t.

Elijah felt an appetite he hadn’t had.

“Feed me today too.”

Judah laughed weakly.

She was dumbfounded, but I thought she was glad she wasn’t starving.

“Is it possible or not?”

*

“… Whoops!”

Elijah jumped up with her sharp moans.

She had a nightmare for the first time in a long time.

Black shadows danced dazzlingly in the hot flames.

It is the vision of the mother who was burned to death.

Even though I never saw her in person, she often appeared in my dreams and harassed me.

From noble mtl dot com

Elijah hesitated as he tried to quietly hug her doll.

She has yet to give it back to Judas.

She was in a good mood until just before she fell asleep, but as soon as she does, she is a nightmare.

Every year on her mother’s death anniversary, the intensity of the nightmare is severe.

But it was even more difficult for her to bear, as she rarely has nightmares these days.

“Huh….”

Elijah hugged her knees and suppressed her breathing.

It’s not just her mother who appears in her dreams.

The day she was taken to her parents’ house for the first time.

The moment I killed the first person appeared in my nightmare.

That day Elijah killed a man.

She didn’t kill herself, but it’s as if she killed herself.

The scenery and sounds of the time are vivid.

Narcissi pressuring me to sign it.

The self begging while crying.

But she couldn’t win against the quality of her cane, and in the end she engraved her name on the document.

To mean that you agree.

That was a kind of overpowering.

Murder without any purpose or intent.

Because of her paperwork, she was told that the village near where she was hiding….

“Huh, huh….”

Elijah finally burst into tears.

Her anger boiled over with her sad feelings.

She wanted to kill Narsisi, who had locked her in her cellar right away.

Her mind couldn’t calm down at all.

At this time, the target to visit is decided.

Use magic carefully.

Teleport.

The view changes quickly.

Right next door.

This is Judas’ bedroom.

Judas was sleeping like a spread bag with the blanket over her carelessly.

As he was about to approach, Elijah hesitated.

‘You can’t rely on…. I can’t be weak….’

A word I always repeat.

Repeated the words that she carved with her sword into her own heart like her brand.

If you depend on something, it becomes a weakness.

If you have a weakness, you become weak.

But.

‘Just for today….’

It’s a day to allow yourself to be weak.

That means you can cry in front of your mother’s grave.

But it is also a day to knock on one’s own spirit.

That means, after all, you have to behave normally in front of other people.

But Elijah ignored the rule.

He couldn’t resist the urge to hug him.

‘Today is a little, special day….’

They approached me stealthily.

She climbed cautiously onto the bed, and she crawled towards him.

She lies on his arm.

She crawled closer to his body.

He pulled her opposite arm and held her.

The feeling of being wrapped in warmth.

An arm that protects.

The cold energy permeating her body soothed her heart.

She blinked slowly and looked at Judas’ face.

He looks like he is sleeping comfortably.

It’s amazing.

It was the first time I had observed him sleeping as closely as he did today.

You usually have a lot of dissatisfaction with society or a slightly nervous face.

You know how to make a face like this.

Perhaps the only one who knows Judas’ face is himself.

Not even Hermis would know.

For some reason, I was happy to keep a new unfamiliarity to myself that no one else knew about.

‘Mine….’

Own property.

There were many things to be wary of around him.

Not knowing if he actually needed to be vigilant, Elijah was keen on everything around him.

Especially today Sarah and Judah ran into each other.

The look in Sarah’s eyes as she looked at Judas was fear and astonishment in the face of an incomprehensible disaster.

Wouldn’t that emotion degenerate into curiosity?

What if the selfish Sarah covets this rare child?

If you shine this much in yourself, wouldn’t it shine just as much in the eyes of others?

I never intended to give it to her, but just imagining Sarah having such a heart was terrifying.

Her heart throbbed and her stomach twisted.

Actually, Sarah, the person involved, was afraid of Judas, thinking that he was about the monster of destruction in the Bible.

Similarly, Judah also erased everything about Sarah.

I wasn’t interested.

It’s just that Elijah couldn’t figure out what the two were thinking.

‘It’s mine….’

Elijah hugged him tighter.

I was curious about one thing.

Are you aware that Judas is your property?

‘Don’t let them take it again….’

It’s enough to lose once.

At that moment, I was terrified.

I was given permission to be weak, so I shouldn’t depend on it.

However, this feeling began to resemble dependence little by little.

‘This is, so….’

I don’t depend on it, but I decided to admit at least one.

He was needed.

For very practical reasons.

‘This is just…. It’s a use.’

He is the only child who can soothe his fire, so he must be kept by his side.

There was no other purpose or reason. Never.

It was a camouflage concession to cover her true intentions, but Elijah pretended not to know.

She tried to press her body against him, but something in her got in the way.

She had a doll between her and his arms.

A doll that was ordered to sleep while holding it until it absorbed its body odor.

The blanket was not wrapped around the neck and was covered like a blanket.

It was very nice to see.

Elijah slipped away from her doll and pressed her closer to his body.

‘It’s mine.’

I quietly closed my eyes in the warmth.

The nightmare is gone.

Fall into a deep and comfortable sleep.

*

Elijah had a dream.

“Mom?”

She has been plagued by nightmares since 5 years ago, and this is her first dream.

Colors are everywhere.

My living, breathing mother greeted me and smiled.

She never came out of her dream unscathed.

Every time it was a flaming shadow, or a hideous figure with stretched flesh.

“Mom!”

Elijah ran her five degrees toward her mother.

A living figure that retains its former appearance.

Black hair, dark eyes.

Her mother opened her arms and hugged her tightly.

A hug that is happy even if it hurts enough to be crushed.

“Mom….”

Elijah laughed as he wept.

Her gentle touch wiped away her tears.

I liked the caressing, so Elijah whined more.

She then forgets the compulsion that she shouldn’t. Like a child

Her mother, who had been stroking and hugging her, kissed her on her own cheek.

On the side, a pleasant sound to make.

Elijah wiped away her tears and laughed.

She then put her arms around her mother’s neck and hung on.

She gave herself back, just as she once did.

On the other hand, she held her mother’s lips against her mother’s cheek.

A small but dense tree house.

A simple life in the middle of the forest, where residents from nearby villages occasionally come to help.

A space full of bright colors.

A fantasy seen after 5 years.

The ivory-colored moon that floated in the night sky was bright and beautiful.

***

‘… What is this again?’

Her arms were heavy and she opened her eyes.

I’m used to it now.

Bonamanada.

‘Elijane….’

Suddenly, Elijah was sleeping in my arms.

‘Ugh…. Yes, do whatever you want Do it all.’

What I suddenly felt while covering him with the blanket was that Elijah was smiling.

She laughs comfortably in her sleep.

In the past, I always cried or whimpered.

… Even if you say always, you can only do it twice.

This is another expression of Elijah.

A different smile from the bare face she shows when she is awake.

It’s heartwarming, but somehow vague.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes as she smiled sweetly.

‘You never forget to cry. Our master.’

I gently wiped away those tears.

‘It seemed like he slept well while laughing, but in the end he ended up crying.’

It was okay because he looked better than usual.

I don’t know what happened anymore.

‘It’s better to laugh than to cry or be expressionless.’

Let’s go to sleep.

She lay down with her head straight, her arm given to Elijah.

‘The cause of Elijah killing me. The sun that should absorb the moon. Elijah with the power of the sun. Maybe I have the power of the moon….’

She closed her eyes and had a random thought.

Elijah’s arm came up over my body as she crept up.

Hug her around the neck.

‘Do what you want…. Everything I want to do….’

Page.

‘… Uh?’

In the room where the short sound passed, a heavy silence came.

That sounded like something that wouldn’t be possible in this situation.

It’s not just sound.

Something touched the ball and it fell.

Slightly moist, warm, and soft, this….

‘What, what, what, what… !’

I shivered and turned her head away.

I checked Elijah carefully.

It’s still a sleeping face.

Suddenly, Elijah’s face drew closer again.

‘What… ! Oh, no, no!’
