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

30. Coming-of-age Ceremony (5)

The place where Elijah led me, saying that he had something else to give me, was a large lounge.

A room for Elijah, the main character of today’s event held at the temple.

She was not allowed to enter without Elijah’s permission.

“Come on.”

Elijah took out something from her bosom and handed it to her.

It was a necklace.

A small round jewel hung in the middle of the leather strap.

Inside the jewel, golden flames swayed to and fro like waves.

“It’s an artifact I made. There are many ways to use it, but the effect is simple. It allows you to use teleport.”

… Teleport Artifact?

I’m not familiar with magic in theory.

However, I know quite a bit about this world, but after long research, I came to the conclusion that teleport artifacts are impossible to manufacture.

Ignoring my astonishment, Elijah explained.

“Of course, that doesn’t mean you can use teleport as much as you want. The only thing I can teleport to is by my side.”

In other words, it is a teleport artifact whose destination is fixed to Elijah.

It’s kind of like a summoning device.

“If you put magic into that necklace, you can send me a signal. And if I let you, you will arrive before me. Or it is possible for me to summon you.”

The second method was the same as the first.

When Elijah sends her signal, I accept.

“Instead, depending on the circumstances, I may summon you without permission.”

Conversely, it is impossible for me to move to Elijah without approval.

My role is an escort driver.

Depending on the situation, you may need to call me urgently.

It was an acceptable feature.

Elijah raised her right hand.

A ring worn on the ring finger.

It is ivory.

“Because the ring I am wearing and the necklace exchange coordinates in real time, it cannot be used unless either of them is wearing an artifact.”

“I understand.”

A necklace with a brown leather strap.

The jewelry is a bit dazzling, but compared to the bracelet I received last time, it’s simple.

I really like this.

I received it and hung it around my neck.

No, I was going to.

Suddenly, Elijah snatched my necklace and took it away.

“Give it to me. I’ll do it for you.”

“I can….”

Elijah looked up at me.

Pressures you to stay still with your gaze.

I obeyed obediently.

Elijah looked up at me and said curtly.

“Too high. Keep your head down.”

The height was lowered according to the request.

I couldn’t look directly at the face that was approaching, so I looked away.

Elijah lifts her tiptoe and reaches behind my neck.

A gentle hand brushes.

Asks while putting on her necklace.

“Why are you so hot? Her face got a little red too.”

“The human body originally has something called body temperature….”

“Because of the nature of maintaining homeostasis, the body temperature is not this hot unless there is something wrong.”

“… I have been like this ever since I was young.”

“You weren’t like this when you were little.”

“… ….”

Hey.

How can you not say a word?

Something like this!

I swallowed the complicated anger inside.

“It’s because it’s hot.”

“Hmm. I think the fireplace in this room is overheated.”

At last Elijah understood.

‘Why does it take so long to refill the necklace….’

Every time Elijah breathes, she feels her light breath on her throat.

However, Elijah shortened the length of her necklace.

“Me, lady? It’s frustrating when you tighten it up like that….”

She doesn’t answer.

She backs away slightly, then she stares at her necklace.

“Leash….”

“Yes?”

“… No, nothing I accidentally tightened it too tight. I will touch you again.”

Elijah placed her hand on the string of her necklace again.

Thanks to her loosening up, she became more relaxed than before.

“If you want to tie it down, it’s better to have a leash….”

Elijah muttered something to himself, but she didn’t understand what it meant, so she just stayed still.

Elijah, who finally finished her necklace, took a few steps away.

She looks at me and smiles contentedly.

“It suits you well. Would you like to try it?”

I decided to test her performance.

She moved away and enchanted her necklace.

It was her signal.

After a while, in the blink of an eye, Elijah appeared in front of her nose.

I am the one who moved, but it changes so fast that it feels like Elijah has appeared in front of me.

On the contrary, he tried to move after receiving her signal from Elijah.

It was the same as the first one.

The last is the forced summons.

There was no time to sense her.

As I was still, the space suddenly went black, and she moved right in front of Elijah.

It was literally right in front of me.

It was so close that as soon as I moved, Elijah’s face crashed into my arms.

“Ouch!”

“Oh… ! Miss, are you okay?”

Elijah mumbled, rubbing her red nose.

“Why is my heart so hard….”

That’s right, her breasts were originally….

Ah. Maybe not. Sorry.

I apologized to Elijah in my heart.

“It works fine, but the summoning position needs to be adjusted…. I made a mistake, so it’s okay.”

Her frown looks up at me and smiles.

“Please take good care of me in the future. My escort knight.”

A casual, friendly tone.

Still a red nose.

Involuntarily, I ended up laughing.

“It is an honor.”

*

On the way back after Elijah’s gift delivery ceremony.

Something flew right in my face.

“Ah.”

Totally unexpected, it hit her right in the face.

Snap.

It was a leather glove that fell off with a light hit.

‘This…. No way?’

Dubok, thump.

Three people approached me with a confident gait.

Blonde woman with pigtails. Jezebel. Buy next to

The man in front of them is a face I know.

Compared to his aristocratic appearance, he behaves like a nerd with his hair ponytailed up arbitrarily.

He stopped at some distance from me.

People around me muttered as they looked around.

The man said.

“My name is Agandi Bebel. The fourth son of the great fire mage, Archduke Balak.”

Gloves thrown in the face.

Introduce yourself.

Who can see this….

“I challenge you to a duel, dishonorable and dishonorable, for insulting my sisters, Jezebel di Bebel and Sarah D Bebel.”

It was a classic duel request.

*

A duel. Battle. Dual. Anyway whatever.

It’s the same as what I asked of Lindel a long time ago.

To judge right and wrong with each other’s force.

Duel trial.

The one used at the training center naturally originated from the culture of this aristocrat.

‘But why did the aristocrats step forward?’

That’s what a confrontation is.

It is rare for nobles to directly step forward.

It is common to send out someone to fight in your place.

But, Agandi Bebel.

An obvious direct son of Balak.

He is a great nobility.

A problem arises in this case….

“Clarify your identity. Dishonorable.”

“… Judas Defacet.”

At some point, people crowded around.

A sheep with interesting spectacle.

‘I can’t get used to it.’

Watching fights is fun.

But it’s not something you would do at someone else’s birthday party.

Of course, this is my common sense.

Common sense here is a little different.

At Elijah’s birthday last year, there were several people fighting.

Simply, drinking and getting into a fight.

To make it more complicated, it is to solve the conflict of interest that has not been resolved in the past.

‘Aristocratic world… I do not know….’

It’s inconvenient.

The main character, Elijah, was not interested.

‘I didn’t know I would be the target of that fight.’

Achan drew his sword.

‘That one?’

It’s a sword I know.

One of the sacred relics of the Sun Bridge.

‘Granite sword?’

A sword of flowing fire.

When magic is applied, it turns red.

Just like its name and characteristics, it is a fire attribute sword.

As a feature, it is extremely hard.

To the extent that it could be used as a blunt weapon by swinging it with the side of the sword.

He said as he pointed his sword.

“Fight the duel with honor.”

The granite sword changes slowly.

It dyes red from the bottom of the blade.

Looking hot.

A haze rose around the sword because of the heat.

“Ohh… ! That’s what I heard… !”

“Brother Agan, you don’t want to look at me!”

People exclaimed.

“The testimony of all the distinguished guests here will suffice for judgment.”

You decide what you want.

Unlike the spirited Achan, I was a bit in trouble.

I am now officially serving Elijah.

You can’t fight recklessly.

‘I need Elijah’s permission to fight….’

Someone stabbed me from behind.

Looking back, it was Elijah.

“Yes? Miss?”

“Listen to your ears.”

I bowed my head obediently.

Elijah’s face draws closer.

He covers his mouth with one hand and speaks in a soft voice.

“Don’t look at me.”

A showdown between nobles and non-nobles.

In times like this, the latter usually loses.

The aristocrat is angry enough to come out personally, so it’s like defeating him for his honor.

I’m still not familiar with this kind of culture.

By the way, Elijah openly told me to win.

Not being watched also meant that it was okay to fight.

“Can I?”

“Yes. Never support I hate losing you more than honor among stupid nobles.”

“… All right.”

“I will be responsible for cleaning up. Instead of killing It’s hard to deal with.”

I have no intention of killing myself anyway.

“But you can’t win easily. You have to win overwhelmingly. I understand?”

I was silent for a moment.

‘Did you read my thoughts?’

Since I decided to fight, I had no intention of winning easily.

I was thinking of embarrassing myself in front of others.

Elijah ordered it all.

“Why don’t you answer?”

“… Ah. I thought for a moment about how to win. All understood.”

“Good.”

Elijah gave a light laugh.

My ears tickle because of my snoring.

“There!”

Achan shouted as he aimed his sword.

“Why are you two whispering so much!”

The color of the face is blushing.

Spits out with an angry expression and shouts.

‘Why are you so angry?’

Agan D. Bebel.

A person I don’t know well.

Only that he was the brother of Elijah and the fourth son of Balak.

Elijah doesn’t often talk about himself.

In particular, she never talked about her family.

From noble mtl dot com

However, there are facts that are worth knowing even without hearing.

Bastard, Elijah.

Those siblings who take great pride as nobles.

He must have been bullied badly since he was a child.

‘Is that arrogant and perverse personality a genetic thing?’

I replied by drawing my sword.

A different ink-colored sword alone in a brilliant golden temple.

“If you lose, get down on your knees and apologize. For insulting my sister.”

I answered while infusing magic into the sword.

“Willing.”

The moon’s pupils shone sharply in ivory.

***

Balak was introducing Cain and Levi to other great nobles.

Your face is already warm, but it’s better to show your face often.

Cain, who will become the head of the household in the future.

And Levi, who will act as the head of the household.

Balak had already half-heartedly decided that.

Since it is her Elijah’s birthday, it is actually fitting to greet her various nobles.

But I couldn’t.

It is because Elijah completely turned a blind eye.

She showed her own karma.

Balak exchanged greetings with the visiting nobles, examining their faces more closely than usual.

‘When I rebel against the Empire, how many forces will agree with me?’

The situation in the empire is not stable.

The war with the demons is getting longer.

Poverty with no end in sight.

The response of the empire, the central axis of mankind, is insufficient.

However, there was no force to oppose or rebel against the empire.

I didn’t even think about it, let alone try.

Even if it is insignificant, an empire was an empire.

Moreover, most of those in power were relatively free from war-induced starvation.

But even so, there will always be disaffected forces.

I just don’t reveal it.

There is a limit to responding alone. Even if there are only a few of them, it would be nice if there were people secretly collaborating.’

And for five years, Ballack has been selecting those who will stand on his side.

It’s just that I haven’t been notified yet.

Almost finished.

‘Suddenly….’

At that time, a commotion broke out in the center of the banquet hall.

“My name is Agandi Bebel. The fourth son of the great fire mage, Archduke Balak.”

His own son seemed about to have an accident.

Balak sighed.

‘That immature guy again….’

No matter how much you say it’s revenge for your sister, a great aristocrat is stepping out in person.

Balak scanned Achan’s outfit up and down.

A granite sword given to me as a gift when I became an adult.

And he was heavily armed with the precious armor Agan took from the Bebel family warehouse.

It was too much equipment for a duel with only one escort knight.

Balack saw the other side.

The images of Elijah and Judas whispering close to each other even looked very affectionate.

What are they talking about so secretly?

“Kuhmm….”

The confrontation between the two was about to begin.

Everyone’s attention was focused.

Emperor John, Pope Nadab of Moonsinism. Etc.

Even for a high-ranking person, a confrontation was bound to be an exciting pastime.

Especially if the target is a conflict between Balak’s direct children.

In the midst of the crowd, one person slipped through the group.

It was Bishop Harold.

When Angra disappeared for reasons of pilgrimage, he used to deliver the news instead.

‘Hmm…. I don’t believe in the Moonshine Church anyway, but it wouldn’t hurt to check it one last time.’

Now that everyone is preoccupied with the confrontation between the two, this is a great opportunity to talk just the two of them.

Balack did not watch the confrontation and followed Bishop Harald.

Winning and defeat became predictable.

Achan will win anyway.

A son like a Hanryang who gave up even competing for the headship.

However, it was not raised roughly.

Onya Onya Raised but he was educated to make more than one person’s share.

First of all, for Achan who wanted to be like Cain, he trained him to grow up as a good swordsman from a young age.

I know that Judas is an extraordinary escort.

At least, it’s not up to my son.

The place where Balak left.

Cain and Levi watched Judah and Achan with interest.

Lewi asked first.

“Brother. Who do you think will win?”

“Hmm.”

The two posed as if they were about to fight.

Cain looked at each other slowly.

The swords haven’t even collided yet, but he answered as if he had already seen the result.

“Achan lost.”

“Ooh….”

Lewi looked at Judas with admiration.

A person with enough skill that Cain, who is careful and harsh on others’ evaluations, will readily admit it.

Judah, Elijah’s escort knight.

“That’s about it….”

If I can take it away, I think it will be quite a blow to Elijah.

Of course, the information isn’t enough, so I’ll have to wait and see.

*

Judah raised his sword.

A sharp ivory-colored sword.

Achan opened his eyes wide.

‘Was that a sword… ?’

When I took it out, it was black.

However, when Judas squeezed it, the color changed.

I know what kind of weapon it is.

The pupil of the moon.

It’s insignificant compared to a granite sword.

‘Even if it’s changed a bit, it doesn’t matter. I’ll win anyway.’

His weapon is also not ordinary.

Achan rushed in without warning.

A heavy oblique cut that falls downward.

It was meant to be finished in one blow.

“Suck!”

I held my breath and lowered my sword.

Judah took a similar stance.

A subdued breath.

The calm movement created the illusion of slowness.

The same diagonal cut as Argan.

The two swords drew an X-shaped trajectory.

Kadeuk!

The swords collided.

A cracking sound.

Achan was used to it.

The weapon of the opponent who collided with the heated granite sword would be easily crushed.

‘… No?!’

Achan’s eyes widened.

It wasn’t the opponent’s weapon that was broken.

The ivory-colored sword of Judas neatly cut through the granite sword.

The broken blade soars into the air.

It spins round and round and flies up.

Agan’s thinking hardened.

It was the first time I had ever seen anything like this.

As a weapon, I was confident that I would not be defeated by any weapon.

Judah did not stop the offensive.

Golden eyes glowing coldly approached Argan, who stood still.
