chapter 11
11 – The Villain, Rose Van Damien (3)
“What? Ha ha ha! “Okay, thank you!”
Did he like my high praise?
Dunkel smiled brightly and accepted my compliment.
‘What? ‘You bastard, why are you acting so big?’
I thought you would swear.
Dunkel’s reaction was very unexpected, and it was a very disappointing reaction for me, who was trying to give him a blow.
“Car, Camel. What kind of words and actions are those? Hurry up and apologize! Sorry, Lord Dunkel. As you can see, the child has no formal experience in etiquette education…”
Rather, it was Jetty, the head of the house, who was anxious and tried to overcome this situation.
“It’s okay. No, the old man actually felt better. Isn’t it amazing? “I can’t believe there is a child like this in this day and age.”
“hahahaha, this guy is smart for his age.”
“Look, little knight. “May I ask your name?”
Dunkel asked and squatted down in front of me.
Snake-like eyes begin to examine me thoroughly.
I reflexively tightened my fist, but I couldn’t swing it.
“This is Camel.”
That’s because I didn’t want to make it even more difficult for Jetty, who was trying to defend me, and Rose, who was nervous with glaring eyes.
“I apologize to you for being excessive in my words and actions. “I was so sincerely impressed that I said some harsh words without realizing it.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“Actually, it was very difficult to take the lady alone. Thanks to you and the deacon, I have lessened my worries, so I guess I should say thank you. Thank you “Lord Dunkel.”
Still, I didn’t want to be looked down on for being a commoner, so I treated Dunkel with the utmost courtesy.
“Huh…”
Then Dunkel responded with a genuinely surprised expression.
“Well, I guess I underestimated you too much.”
“No.”
“Anyway, are you…”
“···?”
“No. You had fun today, little knight. “I’ll see you later.”
Dunkel, who had been examining every inch of my body with dark eyes for a moment, soon stood up and turned around.
“Ha…”
And then the sound of sighing is heard.
“Carmel, please calm down. “I was anxious to see you.”
When I turned my head, I saw Jetty with white skin.
“Well, it ended safely, so that’s it. “It happened while I was dropping off a young lady, so it would be right for me to be thankful.”
“I am sorry. Sir Jetty.”
Nevertheless, like the adult I like, he never forgot to say thank you.
In fact, Jetty is a person I am grateful to, as he has helped me resolve accidents I have had before.
“Okay. See you soon. Lady, let’s go too. “The Viscount is desperately looking for you.”
“Car, camel.”
Just as I was about to turn around, I heard a wet, crying sound.
Rose spoke to me while crying.
“I’m sorry. Because of me···.”
“Rose.”
“Yes…”
“I’m okay. Therefore···.”
Because I felt sorry for him, I added something that I didn’t need to say.
“From now on, don’t cry in front of the escort driver. I saw it in a book and it said so. “The greatest disgrace for an escort knight.”
“These are tears shed by those who serve.”
“So from now on, don’t cry in front of me. “Okay?”
I held out my little finger and smiled.
“Uh, yes!”
Rose responded by placing her little finger on mine.
****
Chapter 1 boss of [Harem Academy].
Villainous woman, Rose Van Darmien.
When her player struggles to win the fight against her, she throws herself off her cliff.
The protagonist rushes in to catch Rose, but cannot catch her, and Rose says this to the protagonist.
-“You are different from the men I know.”
-“If only I had a guard like you by my side…”
****
Late at night, on the cliff overlooking Mana Lake.
I was swinging my sword while sweating.
“···.”
The sword being swung feels particularly heavy today.
Excessive force is applied. The sword is slightly distorted, and the posture gradually breaks down.
How much did I swing a sword I didn’t like?
-Kang!
I threw the sword on the floor and then lay down on the floor.
“It’s so f*cking uncomfortable.”
It was literally. This uncomfortable feeling that I started having after breaking up with Rose has stuck to me like a leech and won’t go away.
“A guard knight…”
What an innocent child said today,
What the villainess in the game said as she faced her final moments.
That one word continues to ponder like an echo in my head.
I didn’t pay any attention to it when I was playing the game.
No, rather he laughed.
-What kind of escort knight are you talking about when you are the daughter of a self-author?
That’s right, that evil woman held out her tiny finger to me today and said,
-“Carmel is the same age as me, so she will be my escort?”“
-“Then promise. Now, hands!”
Rose in the game was disappointed. She said she had no escort.
What that meant was simple. In the game, Rose had no one who could protect her.
And among the lines Rose spoke in the game, there was one word that particularly bothered me.
-Men ‘s’.
It was plural, not singular. It really bothers me that they had to add the word ‘field’.
I really hope not.
What if it wasn’t just one person who revealed his ugly desires to the young and innocent Rose?
“f*ck.”
When the face of a happy girl with a parfait buried in her mouth comes to mind, a thousand dollars burns inside her.
I was determined to stop it, but I was also anxious at the same time.
Because I don’t know anything yet.
What exactly will happen to Rose, when will it happen, and what should I do to prevent it?
Nothing is clear. To be honest, something might be happening to Rose even at this very moment when I’m worrying like this.
To put it bluntly, I am now a twelve-year-old commoner.
What does this mean? It means that there is a limit to what I can do right now.
It was frustrating. I wanted to protect Rose all day, but in many ways, it wasn’t a good situation.
“You don’t look good.”
The moment I was alone in my thoughts, I heard a soft voice.
“Ah, Master.”
When I opened my eyes, Daphne, who I don’t know when she came, was sitting next to me.
When I saw the teacher, I naturally tried to get up from my seat.
“It’s okay, lie down.”
Master stopped me with one hand, and instead placed my face on his thigh.
A fragrant body odor suddenly enters your nose, and a soft texture on the back of your head.
The body reflexively begins to feel drowsy.
“What kind of wind was blowing today that didn’t make you feel bad to see you drooping like this?”
“Isn’t it a virtue of a teacher to soothe a frustrated heart?”
“Is it obvious… Anyway, how did you know?”
“How could this teacher not notice that the disciple, who usually watched the kitchen with a twinkle in his eye, instead of guarding the kitchen, went outside with a sword on his face with an angry expression on his face.”
“···Did you go into the kitchen?”
“Hmm, yes. So what was it? “The concern that made my student’s eyes grow wide like a baby deer.”
When I asked, Daphne skillfully changed her mind.
Normally, she would have inquired about every detail and then immediately checked the ingredients in the kitchen, but today was a particularly frustrating day, so I answered her as if complaining.
“Master, what do you think you would have done?”
“Tell me in detail.”
“I have a young rabbit that I love, and these days I see hungry wolves targeting the rabbit.”
“It’s the disciple’s favorite rabbit… Is it true? Or is it a metaphor? “I’m very curious, but just keep trying.”
“But when I looked at those wolves, they were in heat. So I’m anxious. “I thought the wolves would do something before they caught and ate the rabbit.”
“Hmm, the wolf is in heat for the rabbit…”
I don’t know what kind of baseless metaphor this is.
Daphne tilted her head and listened to my story seriously, and I felt comfortable with this and continued talking.
“Actually, if things were to go according to nature, it would be right for me not to intervene. But, I hate to see that.”
“Hmm.”
“So I’m trying to intervene, but the problem is I don’t know when the wolves will pounce on the rabbit. “It’s not like it’s worth keeping an eye on the rabbit.”
“It must be frustrating.”
“Yes, that’s why I’m frustrated. “Master, what do you think you would have done?”
When I asked, Daphne laughed and started stroking my head.
“···.”
I felt strange. Even though it was an insignificant action, I felt my dizzy mind calming down.
How long was it like that? Daphne started talking to me in a soft voice.
“If it were me. “I think they would have dealt with those wolves as soon as they saw them.”
“But that answer probably isn’t helpful to you. Yes?”
I nodded quietly.
“Then I have only one thing to say.”
“···?”
“If you have time to feel frustrated, don’t stay still and get moving.”
“Ah.”
“If the situation doesn’t work out, create the situation you want. “If you don’t know when, you decide when.”
Daphne let out a shallow laugh, raised her body, met my gaze, and continued speaking.
“Carmel, you have the ability to do that. So don’t regret it and try everything you can. And.”
“If you cannot find the answer, one way is to ask this teacher for help.”
Daphne continued speaking, showing me a smile as bright as the full moon.
“Oh, and there’s something like that written in the book I’m reading these days.”
What book are you reading these days? I think it was a book about abandoned dogs.
“Castration is the only answer for a dog in heat.”
“Yes?”
I think I heard something amazing.
“I did this because I heard the word ‘estrus’ earlier. Well, in any case, I hope this teacher’s meddling will be helpful.”
‘Castrate…’
It was a random sound, but it was also something I strangely liked, so I nodded my head.
It was amazing. I can’t believe my stomach, which had been so frustrating, felt so relieved.
“Seeing that your expression has returned, I think you’ll be fine now.”
“Thank you, Master. “Thanks to you, I feel at ease.”
“Okay, that’s it. “It’s just a pity that I have to leave for a while without being able to see my student catch the wolf.”
“Huh? Where are you going?”
“Isn’t it spring?”
Oh, it was like that.
Daphne said he goes to see his old friends every spring.
Last year, I was away for about a week for the same reason, and I remember having a pretty comfortable time thanks to it.
“When are you going?”
“We are planning to leave tomorrow. Even if you feel lonely, stay strong. It will be here soon. Ah, so I have prepared something for you.”
As she said that, Daphne took out a small wrapping cloth from her arms and handed it to me.
I carefully unfolded the wrapping cloth, and there were about ten pieces of something that looked like chunks of charcoal.
“···What on earth is this?”
“It’s a biscuit. “It seemed like he didn’t like sandwiches, so I prepared something else.”
He was a foreign leader.
****
Jetti, the head butler of the Viscount Darmien family.
He asked, looking puzzled at the unexpected guest who came to his office.
“What are you doing here?”
So I answered.
“I heard they were looking for workers to do chores for Rose’s birthday party, so I came to apply.”
“You? Okay. Let’s say so. However.”
After hearing the answer, Jetty narrowed her eyes and said, as if she didn’t like something.
“Why did the guy selling drinks wear a black sword?”
“I want to become an escort driver.”
“There was no mention of an escort driver in the notice…”
“The period is until the guests who enter the mansion leave, and the pay will be only 2 gold per hour.”
-Tak.
Jetty, the owner of the house, seemed to be very moved by my unconventional suggestion and sat down in his chair, placing his palm on his forehead.
