chapter 14
14 – 4. New Servants (3)
Other attendants are guaranteed free time after training.
However, Adele is transferred to escort duty after training is over.
Until Shien’s daily routine is over, he has to be with him.
“… .”
After dinner, Adele stood outside the governor’s office.
After a hard training day today, the body must be tired.
There was no gap anywhere in his body.
“Adele. Are you out there?”
Cien’s voice came from inside the office.
“yes. It’s out there.”
“Would you like to come inside for a minute?”
At Shien’s command, Adele grabbed the doorknob.
When I went inside, I saw a woman looking at documents.
“Sit down for a minute.”
Adele sat down on the sofa as she told her to.
How many minutes had passed like that?
Shien lifted his head from the document and opened his mouth.
“How was it? A real day in Lichtenau.”
“It was good.”
“Honestly.”
“It was really good.”
Calm expression, unwavering voice.
Typical of a truth teller.
To that, Shien nodded slightly.
“I heard that today’s training was pretty tough.”
“… Did you?”
It can’t be that hard.
Adele muttered to herself.
“If you are tired, you can go in first and rest.”
“it’s okay.”
“I’m fine too, so you can go in.”
“It’s really fine. I am not tired at all.”
Adele is saying the obvious.
However, in the eyes of Shien, he wants to be faithful to his mission as an escort.
I couldn’t help but be seen as such a man.
From the training he received as an attendant, to the work he did as an escort.
Even while suffering twice as much as others.
He doesn’t say a word or look at his expression.
I’m so sorry for that, and thank you again.
So I had a strong desire to take care of him more quickly.
For that to happen, Adele had to settle down quickly.
“Hold on a little. If you get more than a certain grade in training, you’ll get more and more escort work.”
“… You don’t have to.”
“no. It is my escort, so I have to take care of it, who will take care of it.”
At Shien’s words, Adele thought this.
Having no time to rest like now isn’t bad.
Rather, it’s good to have something more arduous, he said.
“There is a Dalian tomorrow morning.”
“I heard that.”
“I don’t think it’s difficult or worrying for you.”
Adele nodded.
All the attendants I saw today were ‘children’.
The mindset is good and the will to do it is not bad.
Since I had no experience, no matter how good I looked at it, that was my limit.
“Then do it in moderation tomorrow.”
“… In moderation, do you mean?”
“yes. Moderate.”
Don’t push yourself too hard, take some attacks and win.
Shien used the word ‘moderately’ in this sense.
“… All right. I will do it in moderation.”
But really unfortunately.
For Adele, ‘moderately’ was not at that level.
‘Do you want me to treat you harshly?’
Moderately long for Wolfheddin.
It was much more terrifying than Shien thought.

The next day, the sparring of the attendants that had been predicted began.
They fight each other with wooden swords and with minimal etiquette.
It’s natural to show no mercy to the Witchbeast.
If you only deal with witch beasts forever, that’s not the case either.
There could be conflicts with other territories and other countries.
Even in that fight, the knight occupies an important role.
“Please give me a hand.”
“Please take good care of me.”
The attendants who start sparring while the instructors are watching.
Get the most out of what you can.
f*ck! Perfect!-
“Ugh!”
“stop. until there.”
When you lose your weapon or admit defeat.
Then the sparring will end as it is now.
“You worked hard.”
“thanked.”
Even when winners and losers are divided, they remain polite until the end.
After going through a couple of fights like that.
Finally, it was Adele’s turn.
“… It’s true that you organized the order as well as possible, senior.”
“I thought I would attach the most outstanding guy among the attendants.”
“I am still worried. Are you okay?”
Adele’s opponent is the most outstanding attendant chosen by the instructors.
Even at the relatively young age of 19, he was one of the fastest-achieving people.
Among the servants, he is the most promising.
They also have skills that are one level higher than others.
Even so, the instructors were worried.
‘No matter how promising you are, the class is different. Class!’
Where in the world is there an attendant who can kill a level 3 monster?
It will only be here, in Lichtenau.
Literally, a genius attendant suddenly appeared.
“uh. hey. excuse me.”
As soon as the two are about to start sparring, agitation dwells among the instructors.
Shien appeared in front of him accompanied by the knight commander.
“My lord.”
Instructors all bow down and take an example.
“What brought you here?”
“I heard that the attendants are sparring. These are the new talents who will lead Liechtenau in the future. I wanted to see how high the level was. Did you get in the way?”
“Absolutely not, my lord. Rather, we are only honored.”
“is that so. Thank you for saying that.”
At Shien’s answer, the instructors glanced at Adele.
I think he came to see that young man.
Whatever it was, it wasn’t bad for the other attendants.
“I’m about to start a match right now, would you like to observe?”
“Then shall we do so?”
Shien turned her head to the attendants with a smile.
Then, the faces of the attendants who were standing there turned red in an instant.
Although there are rumors that the blood of the demons was mixed.
Her beauty cannot be masked by such gossip.
Rather, is it because of the demonic blood flowing through her body?
She was more beautiful than any woman in the world.
Not only the appearance, but also one step, one figure.
I wonder if I could become a woman like that if I molded a person with light.
“… .”
The young man who sparred with Adele had the same reaction.
It’s the first time I’ve seen a new family head so close.
Even more beautiful than any other woman.
If that smile is directed at you, it seems that there will be no wish.
Kwok-.
All of a sudden I want to get her attention.
No, male nature dominated the young man’s mind.
That the opponent in front of him was a strong man who could not be compared to himself.
I know very well that I am a person who has already been proven by the family head and the leader.
Even so, if you do your best, if you show a good appearance.
Wouldn’t that sparkling woman remember him?
“i look forward to!!”
So he greeted me loudly.
“… I will leave it up to you.”
On the other hand, Adele’s voice is just normal.
Thanks to that, Shien’s gaze turned to the young man for a very short time.
There, the attendant, feeling a little better, took a stance.
Even if we can’t win, let’s show a good side!
Let’s enjoy the honor of being remembered by our future lord!
Let’s hear that he suffered from those beautiful lips!
“Then I will go! aaa!!”
A young man running with excitement.
Adele, who looked at him for a moment, quietly raised her wooden sword.
aaagh!!-
* * *
… what just happened?
What the hell is it? What happened?
It was the same thought of those gathered around.
“… .”
There must have been an attendant who rushed at Adele, but there was none.
Looking around, he was nowhere to be found.
“ah.”
A sigh was heard from somewhere.
The one of the most distant instructor.
The attendant must be located in the center of the gymnasium.
I saw it fly all the way to the edge and get stuck.
“De, stretcher!”
“stretcher!”
Instructors urgently looking at the condition of the servants.
Once you are breathing, you are resting. There are no broken or broken places anywhere.
Fortunately, I only fainted, and I am clean without a single wound.
As the wooden sword broke, the electrolyte shock was dispersed throughout the body.
As it flew again, the rest of its power was halved again.
Thanks to that, I was able to stay fine.
Have you been very lucky?
Or did he attack with just that much force?
In any case, it wasn’t a serious injury to worry about.
“hmm.”
Adele was staring at her with both eyes blinking.
The referee let out a sigh of absurdity, but decided to do his duty for now.
“Oh, come on. Adele wins.”
There were no cheers or applause.
Everyone just stared blankly at Adele.
Meanwhile, Adele looked at Shien’s reaction.
With his mouth open, he couldn’t hide his surprise.
‘I like it.’
I’m not sure where I like it.
For Adele, surprise has always been positive.
When you surprise someone, something good always happens.
– One of the important things in escort work is to please the lord. –
He said it was important to have fun and have fun.
I’ve also heard requests to do it ‘in moderation’.
Adele used her strength just enough to surprise Shien.
‘I’m not going to die anyway.’
The wooden sword would have broken and offset the impact.
Instead of letting it fall to the ground, I made it fly backwards.
It looked a bit rough, but it was well worth it.
Maybe my old colleagues would appreciate it too much if they saw this scene.
He might have grumbled that he didn’t do half of what he normally did.
However, Shien wasn’t really happy, he was shocked.
‘What is that!’
I wanted it to fit well in moderation.
Adele replied that she knew, but what kind of situation was this?
Didn’t that far exceed the level of ‘moderately’?
‘A silent protest asking for an escort quickly?’
From Shien’s point of view, there was no problem even if they misunderstood.
If it wasn’t for that, I couldn’t do such an outrageous thing!
After briefly checking the attendant being carried on a stretcher.
Looking at Adele, Shien noticed something strange.
Looking straight at herself, Adele smiled slightly.
As Adele said, she did it ‘moderately’, which is what she likes.
Shien, who had no idea what was going on, took it differently.
‘ah… Maybe on purpose… is it?’
Adele is an escort for herself, the lord of Lichtenau.
Just then, the head of the household came to observe.
Thinking of Shien’s face.
To show that she is right for appointing him as an escort.
Maybe I should have used a little more strength, that’s why.
‘Well, you don’t have to… Adele… .’
It was the two of them who flowed from a strange place to a strange part.
