The Knight Wants To Be in a Relationship

14. What about me?

* * *

After collecting the dragon’s corpse, the count returned to the county with the two men. And he threw a party.

“The return of the hero! Raise a toast!”

“”Dragon Slayer! Dragon Slayer!””

Evan, who was baptized with applause by the count, his soldiers, and the people of the county’s territory, was swept away by indescribable emotions.

Something tickling in my heart continues to stir. The whole body feels tingling.

‘This is how the heroes in fairy tales felt… ….’

It feels good to be praised by someone.

What is it like to be thanked by so many people at the same time?

It’s so thrilling that I can’t explain it in words.

Evan realized that the reason fairytale heroes weren’t getting paid wasn’t simply because they weren’t greedy, it was because they were being paid more.

If you were addicted to this feeling, you wouldn’t be swayed by a few pennies.

“Thank you for saving Yeongji.”

“Guda-nyo, with this…….”

“No. If it weren’t for you, maybe the mine would have belonged to the country. At best, without the reward of calling you guys to hunt the rock predator…….”

If Evan hadn’t hunted the dragon, the miners digging the mine would have come face-to-face with the dragon.

And he would have killed all the miners for daring to covet its wealth in dragon territory, and laid waste to the county beyond.

If that didn’t happen and the dragon was discovered early, the mine would have been owned by the country and put under strict management.

Neither way was it good for the Count.

“Is there anything you want? Listen to my anything Money, women, arms. Just say anything.”

“Then can I marry the Count’s daughter?”

“What? Umm…… My daughter is a married woman, and she is as you wish.”

“…… No, I will decline.”

Recalling the aristocratic lady who greeted him with her smile as he entered her castle, Evan gave up on her, weeping inside her.

Although Evan was crazy about her girlfriend, he wasn’t crazy enough to covet her married woman.

“What about other people? If you touch a woman in this mansion, she won’t say anything.”

“Are there any other guests with Mr. Psyche?”

“I bet they won’t refuse you to touch them.”

After hearing the Count’s assertion, Evan said that he would think about it a little more, and then went to the party. Since this party itself was a party for Evan and Valkyrie (which was not so important compared to Evan), eyes flew towards him as he moved his steps.

From the soldiers who were dispatched to stop the dragon, nobles from other territories who came as guests to the county for a while, or even the eyes of merchants who wanted to get their hands on the dragon’s corpse.

Breaking through all the gazes, Evan headed to where Valkyrie was. Valkyrie, who had been sitting at a table and laughing among themselves, stopped talking and looked at Evan when Evan suddenly joined the table.

“Can I sit down?”

“Oh-! Of course, kid! Welcome!”

“Thank you. Then.”

Anella, who was next to Evan, even stepped aside to make it easier for him to sit down. The party members who saw it were startled.

That Anella, who hears that she is a barbarian, makes concessions first?

“Have you eaten?”

“No, not yet.”

“You can’t starve. Here! One more serving!”

“Yes, yes! Going!”

Instead, Anella, who even ordered her Evan’s meal, wiped her meat and grease from her mouth with her tongue and looked at her Evan.

Is it because she likes the taste of the meat she just ate, or is it because she knows Evan’s true nature and is interested in him. The smile on Anella’s lips showed no sign of leaving.

“Evan. I heard you caught the dragon.”

“Yes. Did I catch it?”

“How did you do it?”

“Even if you ask me how I did it…… ?”

Evan raised the knife the attendant had brought and carefully cut the bread in front of him. Anella couldn’t believe it was a knife like theirs, but she exclaimed softly as she saw the bread cutting effortlessly.

“This is how I did it.”

“…… Was it as easy as eating cake?”

“It wasn’t that easy… ….”

Looking at Evan munching his lips as he said that, Anella put on an expression wondering if this was the dragon slayer from the legend.

If you say dragon slayer from ancient times, isn’t it a title that only those with the best military power of the time can have?

It’s not just that I’m confident in my skills, but it’s normal for me to be a person who doesn’t have anything strange to do, even if I’m drunk on my own skills…….

‘As expected, it’s strange.’

Anella said that while glancing at Psyche. She said Evan hunted dragons.

However, even she did not witness the scene directly, and just said that since the dragon pursued by Evan lost his life, he thought that Evan had cut the dragon.

—Doesn’t that mean that Evan may not have hunted the dragon?

“Kid.”

“Yes, Mr. Anella.”

“Ah, Mr. Anella, what…… Call me sister.”

“…… Yes, sister.”

“You really— did you catch the dragon?”

At the question raised by Anella, Valkyrie as well as everyone in the party who had been listening to their conversation fell silent.

They just didn’t open their mouths, but they had doubts about the fact that the child had hunted a dragon.

It’s because the suspicion isn’t so great that they head-on into the facts certified by the Count.

“Is that right?”

“I can’t believe it, but…… Can you prove it?”

“Anella!”

“Oh, why? Psyche You said you didn’t see it straight either? Then maybe not.”

“I saw it. …… The way he cuts off the dragon’s wings.”

“Only the wings? Those wings that have been half-dangling since we first saw them?”

Having watched Evan’s absurd performance from a distance as he chased the dragon, Psyche knew very well how disrespectful Anella was doing.

Evan was angry with this, and when the sword he showed was aimed at them, he had no confidence to survive.

But fortunately, Evan stood up with a light smile as if it was no big deal.

“What, what should I do?”

“Uh ha ha! It should come out like that! ─Hey, bring my equipment.”

“You really…… Are you planning on doing it?”

“You said you would do it yourself. Don’t stop, Psyche.”

Anella, who glared at Psyche with her blazing eyes, put on her own equipment brought by her attendant.

Armor and shield made from an alloy of monster materials and precious minerals. And a one-handed mace used against humans.

A perfect body that blocked the dragon’s blow even while injured. Now that his injuries have been healed, he can block any attack that hits him head-on.

As Anella put on her gear and stood at the party, people seemed to be interested and surrounded the two in a circle to create space.

“The avant-garde of the party Valkyries. Anella.”

“Uh…… This is Evan. Please take good care of me.”

“Come on.”

“Yes? That…… Since my sister is weaker than me, shouldn’t she attack first?”

I will concede a move. She said it in reverse, but when she thought of Anella who had heard that meaning, she burst into laughter as if she did.

“That’s right too.”

“Yes. Come on—”

Before Evan could finish his sentence, Anella ran out in front of her, holding out her shield. Seeing her from the front, Evan felt as if a wall of steel was running towards him.

Most of the people stand in front of this wall at a loss for what to do, and get hit and die or get seriously injured…… Evan wasn’t.

‘How small talk… ….’

I see Anella running towards her. She hides her entire body with a large shield. Normal people don’t know where to attack, but Evan already had several ways to kill her and dozens of ways to subdue her.

She just had to pick and choose the way she wanted according to her own taste. It wasn’t long before Evan, deciding how to subdue her, thrust her sword at her shield as she did.

“What…… ?”

The figure of her thrusting her knife at a solid piece of metal. Anella, who thought she was stupid, saw the sword pierce her shield casually, and she was startled.

I thought it was cut, but it wasn’t like that. Like a ghost, the sword penetrated Anella’s shield, cut through the straps that held her equipment, and went back into her scabbard.

When Evan led her sword, Anella’s equipment fell to her floor as if it had done its job.

Anella, disarmed in an instant, stood blankly and glared at her Evan.

“…… What have you been doing?”

“Uh…… Did you just cut it?”

“I know that because I saw it too. ─But what is this?”

Anella pointed to her own shield. A very neat shield with not a single nick or cut from her sword.

“What is it, there are no traces of cuts?”

“It’s a bit difficult to explain. I just poke her in the hole. How does it feel?”

“…… Can you do that for me too?”

“What do you mean…… ?”

“Can I use it on my body?”

“Yes.”

Seeing Evan nod as if it wasn’t too difficult, Anella felt her heart stop.

With that sword that penetrated her armor casually, it would be very easy to pierce her muscles or bones.

What if the sword that pierced like that only cut through the heart, organs, or whatever he wanted? She will fall down without any resistance.

Because there is no creature that remains intact even after cutting its intestines.

“Crazy… ….”

After confronting her directly, Anella had no choice but to believe that Evan had hunted a dragon. If you have swordsmanship like that, what is a dragon? Perhaps even if the demon king is resurrected, he will be able to cut it.

And at the same time – Anella realized what she had done to him. She was suspicious of Evan’s ability, and she rudely asked him to prove her skills.

Even if his throat was cut, he had nothing to say.

“…… Hmmm, Evan. Do you want to have s*x?”

“Eh- I don’t like it.”

“Oh why!? Of course, I’m worse than the count’s daughter- but I’m not a married woman!?”

“Well, it seems a bit like a prostitute to say things like that all the time…” ….”

“What, what?”

Hearing Evan’s words, Anella stiffened in shock.

For reference, she was a virgin.

She is still over 20 years old.

***

The party is over.

I wanted to return to the capital right away, but due to the Count’s persistent suggestion, I decided to stay overnight in the county’s territory today.

“Wow…… The bed is nice.”

When I saw a bed so large that even five adult men could not fill it, I burst into exclamation and jumped on top of it. The soft mattress gently wrapped around my body.

Is it magic? It must be magic Such tenderness cannot be explained except by magic.

As I was getting deeper and deeper into the bed, someone knocked on the door.

— … Evan, are you there?

“Mr. Psyche?”

It was Psyche who came. I opened the door to find out what she was doing and looked at Psyche standing in front of the door and tilted her head.

She was wearing a robe that covered her entire body.

“Can I come in?”

“Yes…… What are you doing?”

“Go inside, go inside and talk.”

As if she wanted to get inside her as soon as possible, I let the restless girl into her, and Psyche let out a sigh of relief.

Then, he took off the robe that was draped over her body and threw it away. Seeing her figure revealed under the robe, I stiffened.

She was wearing a nightgown that was too revealing to show off. A nameless outfit that clearly showed her inner underwear.

“Pu, Mr. Psyche… ? Go, suddenly what….”

“…… I said it earlier. Anella hates her because she looks like a prostitute.”

“Yes, yes? Uh… Did you say that?”

Did I? I don’t remember very well.

No, I just couldn’t take her eyes off her right now in front of her.

I couldn’t afford to redirect even the tiniest part of my brain.

Psyche lightly lifted the hem of her nightgown and opened her mouth.

“I…… How is it?”

Gulp-.

My saliva went to the temple.
