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

24. Why did you (2)

“So I think we might get engaged.”

This is the answer Elijah gave to Balak’s words to cast out Judah, her outsider.

– Clink!

Lea dropped the teacup she was serving.

No one paid attention to the mistake.

No, I couldn’t.

Elijah’s declaration was not to be taken lightly.

… ….

The suffocating silence that came for a moment.

In the midst of everyone dumbfounded, Judas stood up a beat late.

“… Yes?!”

Elijah looked up at him with her nonchalant gaze.

He took her hand and said it carefreely.

“Sit down.”

“Yes….”

He sat down obediently, but his head was dizzy.

‘What is this… ! You never said anything like this to me! No, talking about it makes no difference… Won’t I lose?’

It’s a problem even if we talked about it beforehand.

It doesn’t make sense to reject Elijah’s engagement proposal, a nobleman, and it’s not easy for him to accept it lightly.

‘What, what should I do, has it already been decided… ?! So, at what age do we get married, since we’re 13 now, we still have 5 years left until we reach adulthood…. No, that’s not the point… !’

Elijah glared at her confused Judas with her half-closed eyes. She

She has something to ask, but she is not in the right place.

Elijah sighed lightly.

She said to those who were stiff and frozen.

“If you keep meddling in my affairs, it means you will.”

Balak’s children were stunned by that brazen attitude.

Balak, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief.

Elijah glanced to the side of her.

Because Judas, like Balak, was relieved.

I meet her eyes, startled and stiffen up, avoiding her gaze unnaturally.

Elijah changed the subject, holding back her pouty lips from coming out.

“Anyway, this child needs to be with me. She can’t let me out no matter what.”

“Whoa….”

“Tell me what you are here for.”

Elijah asked the main point.

She didn’t want to waste time talking back and forth.

On behalf of her children, Balak spoke as the representative.

“Elijah. I heard that you captured her wife.”

“There is a reason for that.”

“What do you want?”

“What do you want? Are you guys here because you have something you want from me? I don’t really want anything.”

Sarah was moved by her nonchalant attitude, but she couldn’t open her mouth.

It was because of Judas, who held Elijah’s hand tightly and sat next to her.

The word tearing off her sheep was shocking enough to remain in her memory for the rest of her life.

Just looking at it reminds me of that moment and it’s scary.

It was a horror equal to her natural disaster, so she couldn’t even tell Balak.

While Elijah and Balak were engaged in a war of nerves, Judas confirmed their faces.

She was the one I saw last time sitting on the far right.

She tries to remember the names one by one.

Achan, Jezebel, Levi, and Cain.

Everybody glared at Elijah with fierce, uncomfortable eyes.

Judas seemed to know why Elijah had brought her.

In this situation, the only person who can stand by her side without shrinking is herself.

Judas thought so, and she looked at a man named Cain.

I’ve been worried since before.

Short blonde hair like a soldier, and strong eyes.

I saw it at Elijah’s birthday banquet.

Unlike back then, when I glanced at her, she could clearly recognize her features now.

‘… Where did you see it?’

Oddly enough, his face was familiar.

It’s not the face, it’s the eyes, or should I say the atmosphere it exudes?

It was never a good familiarity.

It was very unpleasant, and I felt like I was offended by planting.

While he was thinking about it, the conversation between Elijah and Balak ended quickly.

“Are you really not thinking of backing down? Whatever you want….”

“The Archduke. What is the difference between blackmail and robbery when you ask someone who has nothing to ask for a deal to tell you what you want?”

“… ….”

“I really don’t want anything.”

At that time, Jezebel said coldly.

“Do you know that only your wish is important? We are in a situation where we have to listen to the opinions of my mother, who is being held by force.”

Balak sighed inwardly.

I didn’t deliberately ask.

She guessed that Elijah’s demeanor was so transparent that she had already done something about it.

Bell snapped her bait.

Elijah smiled brightly as if he had waited.

“That’s right. Jezebel’s sister. Then, why don’t you check it yourself?”

“Good!”

Achan jumped to his feet.

“I will do as you say! Father, let’s go now!”

“… ….”

Balak took a reluctant step.

*

The condition of Narsisi, ascertained by Balak and his children, was shocking.

It’s not that look, it’s the words that came out of your mouth.

“Elijah is very nice to me. She is a very kind child.”

“Uh, Mom… ?”

“There are parts that you all misunderstand. Above all, I tried to harm Elijah first. I’m also reflecting on my past….”

Narcissus rather supported Elijah.

At present, there is no pain in her body.

It was thanks to Elijah completely removing the scare.

At this moment, Narcissus could have prayed to Elijah.

“So don’t worry about me….”

“Mom-!”

Sarah clung to her bars and cried, Achan clutching her forehead.

Cain frowned slightly, and Levi had a complicated expression.

Jezebel glared at Elijah.

“You… ! What did you do!”

Elijah did not answer.

She just frowned.

The scenery unfolding in front of her was disgusting.

Elijah clearly remembers her past. She

From the moment she was taken to her home, she is so vivid that she can recite all the abuse she suffered there.

The children of Balak and Narsisi looked down on, ignored, cursed at, and beat themselves as if they were worms.

They even mocked Mary by putting her name in her mouth.

Elijah only suffered.

She was weak back then.

The environment, the persecution surrounded by many people was terrifying.

Not only that, Narcissi covered up her mother’s death.

She said that she would return later if she received a solid education at her home.

Everything that doesn’t come right now, Elijah scolded her for not listening to her properly, saying that’s why.

She found out later that it was a lie.

Narcissus killed her mother and lied about her being alive, so she tricked herself.

Unbeknownst to him, Elijah faithfully did what he was told to do.

She even signed up for killing people.

Then, she believed, her mother would come back quickly and take her out of that hell.

It was quite a while before I found out the truth.

When the news of Maria’s death spread, those children even mocked her mother’s death.

To them, he wasn’t even the same person.

I was treated worse than livestock.

They were like monsters to Elijah.

The monsters cared for and loved my family from the bottom of my heart, to the point of feeling disgusted with the alienation of mourning like humans.

The reason why I didn’t kill all of them at this moment was purely Judas’ influence.

A cold energy flowed from their clasped hands and comforted them.

I was barely able to keep my senses.

He is obviously strong.

But he didn’t have the confidence to handle Balak yet.

“… ….”

Encountered with contemptuous eyes, Jezebel shut her mouth involuntarily.

Judah gave strength to Elijah’s hand.

The real mother of Elijah, who died for some reason.

And, the direct descendents of the Bebel family are saddened to see their mother in front of them.

The circumstances were complicated, but in the end he was on Elijah’s side.

Elijah felt the strength and looked up at Judas.

Judas smiled at herself without her words.

A reassuring, reassuring smile.

Elijah confirmed again.

If only this child stays by her side, she herself….

Keep your rationality and speak coldly.

“You must have already answered, right?”

The Archduke didn’t answer and just stared at Narcissus.

The cost of neglecting the family.

In front of the sight of the first domino falling, he was infinitely helpless.

I was disillusioned.

And on the other hand, I was shocked.

I figured out that Elijah had planted some magic in Narcissus.

But the realm and depth of that magic, I couldn’t dare to guess.

It was a magic that was difficult for even the strongest wizard on the current continent to touch.

I tried to figure out if it could be solved by analyzing it, but it was difficult to even gauge the size and depth of the magic, let alone interpret it.

A new magic created by combining existing magic.

There are traces of beginner’s clumsiness left, but it is sophisticated and meticulous.

I knew her potential early on.

However, this exceeded the extent and expectations.

Can an individual have this much power?

“The Archduke?”

“… Okay. It became.”

Balak stood up helplessly.

“I have no choice but to formally refer you to the family trial.”

Balack wanted to settle the matter amicably through an agreement if possible.

She did not want to increase her work.

But Elijah’s attitude was the exact opposite.

“Sure.”

It will be a long fight.

For both sides.

During that time, Narcissus suffers, her direct children develop animosity towards Elijah, and Elijah too will begin a chain of revenge for her.

The dominoes have already fallen.

No, maybe long before she even recognized herself.

Seeing Balak and her direct line leave, Elijah embraced Judas.

“Thank you.”

Judas was taken aback, but she carefully hugged her.

“Say something.”

In her arms, Elijah found her safe. She

She thought she was gone from this world.

Discovered again, much more precious than before.

Her only side of herself.

The color of the world.

He was in his arms, and I was in his arms.

With that, Elijah can endure a long and tiring battle.

… But, for some reason, I hated her appearance earlier when she was frightened of her engagement to herself.

“Evil!”

Elijah lightly pinched Judas’ side.

It didn’t hurt, but it did startle me.

“Oh, miss? Why all of a sudden….”

“I don’t know.”

I didn’t mean it anyway.

There’s really no such thing as that.

But she didn’t like that reaction earlier.

She said she refused because she lacked something.

It’s not enough to bow down and say thank you.

It’s a bit strange to be pampered, but anyway….

Instead of telling Elijah her true intentions, she put her forehead on his chest and hugged him.

From a seat one step away, Lia watched the two with a pitiful yet sinful look.

*

Before he left, Balak had someone to talk to.

After making sure no one was looking, he sneaked up to the subject.

The destination.

Lea carefully raised her eyes.

It was a black eye that I hadn’t seen in a long time.
