I Became a Dark Knight the Empress Is Obsessed With

30 – National Guard – (2)

Today, I took a walk around the imperial palace early in the morning.

The courtyard is well maintained and was fun to walk through. When I came during the National Foundation Day, I didn’t feel it because of the chaos, but it was a place where I felt my own mood.

It was a really beautiful day. Birds are chirping and flowers are blooming.

Almost a month has passed since the National Foundation Day disaster. Winter is over. Now, the fresh scent of flowers is starting to blow in the wind. Spring was coming.

[ Act 2 – Rat Hole ]

＞D-13

The notification window that appeared in front of my eyes supports my rest after a long time.

Anyway, the first act was over, and there were about two weeks left until the second act. There won’t be any incidents in between. Even if it was a church, it had been attacked twice. There will be a lot of bleeding.

Above all, most of the dead ends that appear in the second act are the work of the church. Even for this, I will conserve my strength for now.

In the meantime, I was planning to take the time to prepare for the second act, but when it happened, Lincia insisted not to leave, and it was harder than I thought to stay by the empress as a border guard.

Lyncia, who had just become Empress, had many immature points. So, a great curriculum awaited her. From royal studies to geography, mathematics, history, etiquette, and even magic and swordsmanship. I’m learning almost like hitting myself in the head.

I didn’t have time at all, even for me, who had to chase after Lyncia.

“Whoa.”

As soon as I opened my eyes, I almost ran out of the bed just a few minutes ago. Perhaps by now, Lyncia would be furious and desperately looking for me.

But what can I do? i need to rest too The body is a superman, but the mind is a normal person.

That way, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a chance.

I took in the beautiful scenery of the courtyard.

A lot of things have happened in the meantime, but the empire was trying to regain daily life in line with the rapid changes.

What you can see from a corner is the attendants and officials hurriedly roaming the palace. He was running around like he had five legs, dealing with a rush of work and a mountain of paperwork.

“The civil servants are also having a hard time.”

yes. I understand. It’s not easy to live on the country’s money. It seems that there is not much difference between the earth and this world. Although I, who say that, belong to the category of civil servants.

I thought a lot because it was my alone time after a long time.

After walking a little further, I started to hear whispers.

“Could that person be Fried the mad dog?”

“I heard you became a protector this time.”

“Did you hear that? There are rumors that the young empress has already been captured by roasting and boiling.”

“It’s scary, but it’s scary. There’s no player.”

“Shh be quiet! Maybe you can hear me!”

fast.

teeth were split

“……These children.”

I hear it all, these.

Perhaps it was because Fried’s hearing was beyond human range, each whispering voice hit his ears.

I was just going to listen, but what does it mean to capture the empress? If you lust after a kid in your mid-teens, it’s a crime before morality.

“Uh, uh, are you watching us?”

“Hey, pretend you didn’t see it.”

As he turned his head around and growled, the sheep that had been there started to scatter.

Most of them were ladies-in-waiting, but when I saw them lifting the hem of their skirts and running around, my anger disappeared.

Well, life in the imperial palace must have been more than boring without any entertainment. In such a situation, how precious is a piece of gossip that can be bitten and ripped off.

Isn’t that just too vicious rumors going around?

How bad your reputation was, Fried.

“Sigh.”

He took a deep breath and moved on.

what can i do I’ll see all of this too.

As I turned around with that thought, a strange sound passed my ears.

“It’s muddy.”

A suffocating moan.

A groaning sound followed, like scratching on a stone floor.

“…”

A small sound that a normal person would never hear. However, Fried’s ears were able to pick up even subtle notes without missing them.

The sound was coming from slightly below. I gulped.

The title of the second act, ‘Rathole’. As the name suggests, it deals with the struggle for supremacy between criminal organizations in the ancient underground waterway, the intervention of the church, and the resulting threat.

Could it be that it was their fault?

I tensed my body and slowly turned my head to the source of the sound.

And.

“yes?”

There was one pillar.

And a single feather swaying gently at the bottom of that pillar. It is the tail of the official helmet. Protruding below it was the Imperial Guard’s spearhead as well.

It seems that someone hastily hid behind a pillar, but it seems that they did not think to hide the helmet and spearhead.

Do you think it’s a perfect hide-and-seek? It’s not even funny.

I slowly approached and peered behind the pillar.

“What are you doing?”

“Hike!”

There is a brown-haired soldier covering his mouth with both hands.

Leaning against the wall, slipping and collapsing, it was a very unsightly posture.

And this soldier was someone I knew.

“Coraña? What are you doing here?”

“That’s not Cora.”

“Yeah. It’s not a puck.”

“……hello.”

Cora reluctantly bowed her head. I let out a deep sigh.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Did you hide because you didn’t want to run into me?

Then, I suddenly remembered what happened at the Senate Council.

Look at your left palm. I remembered the strangely soft touch at that time.

When I looked at Cora again, she was looking at my left hand with a terrified look on her face.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

“Ah! aaa!”

Grab the tail of his helmet and lift it up.

Cora resisted, but to no avail. For a moment, I felt like my forehead twitched, and then the helmet fell off with a cheerful sound.

“Also.”

Her wavy brown hair fell to her shoulder blades.

Let’s take off the helmet and see the woman’s figure.

Looking at it, he had a small body, a soft voice, and his features drew tangible curves. It’s a strange level to notice now.

“Are you a woman?”

“Ah, ah.”

Cora was at a loss as she wrapped her hands around the top of her head, which was exposed through the peeling helmet.

Before long, he looks up at me and changes his lips into various shapes.

What came out in the end was this.

“I’m not that girl…”

“Oh yes.”

*

“So, you were forced to dress as a man to support your family?”

“Yes.”

“How many people do you have in your family?”

“……Eleven.”

“A lot.”

a bit too much

Cora was interrogated to kill time and to listen to her circumstances, but the answer that came out was this.

In order to support a large family, a woman’s body needed an amount of money that was difficult to afford. So I disguised myself as a man and enlisted, but I was suddenly drafted into the Royal Guard and this division was created.

In terms of Korea, it is as if war has come to a private soldier who has just arrived in Jadae.

“You really have no luck.”

“……Yes.”

Cora made eye contact with me, hands clasped politely, then looked away and wiggled.

Although he was brought to an inconspicuous place, he clearly looked uneasy.

I told Cora.

“Can’t we just quit?”

“…Well, if you work for 5 years or more, you will be given a piece of the field… An official letter came out…”

“It’s simple.”

It’s so simple that I’m about to burst into tears.

Are you implying that you will try to get some money for rice cakes and then somehow endure? too desperate

“But didn’t you make an achievement last time?”

Cora has a record of defeating several monsters and saving factors during Act 1. Are there any bonuses out there?

When I asked that question, Cora answered in a hushed voice.

“I was cut…”

“Why?”

“The knight hit you.”

“Yes?”

“……That council president.”

“ah.”

“So… I sold a cow a while ago. I can’t pay for my living expenses…”

I was speechless and grabbed my head.

This is what it is like to break a shrimp’s back in a whale fight.

“Grunt.”

Cora takes a deep breath as she gazes into the distance.

I was pitiful and somewhat sorry.

I thought for a moment, then met Cora’s eyes.

The gaze that averted again.

While thinking about whether there was any way to help, there was one thing that came to mind. In a fantasy world like this, don’t knights carry at least one of their servants with them?

Besides, Cora is a skilled soldier in her own right. It will fill in my gaps well. I don’t think the kid’s naivety will betray him.

At that thought, I spoke up.

“Hey.”

“yep.”

“Will you be my seed?”

Cora tilted her head.

At first, he didn’t seem to understand my question, but soon his mouth dropped as if he understood the situation.

“Now, didn’t you hear me?”

“No, I heard you.”

Klopp.

Cora’s throat twitched.

“… But, a stallion. A mare. I can’t be that kind of woman…”

“……what?”

“Besides, I still have a lot of family to support… so adding one to that is a bit…”

I guess I’m misunderstanding.

“Besides, since she’s a virgin, her skills aren’t good enough… and she won’t be able to do the kind of thing the knight wants you to do. That’s why it’s difficult.”

Now that I thought about it, I was in a situation where I realized that Cora was a woman and semi-forcibly brought her to a remote place.

Freed, the knight who brought such Korra, in other words, I am an idiot who is famous for his behavior.

I don’t know what Cora would think of here, but it was a video.

“Hey, you seem to be misunderstanding a little now.”

“……That’s right!”

Cora’s eyes wet, and a clear tear fell.

“Please don’t eat me…”

I’m really going crazy.
