I’m sure she had planned an escape before getting engaged to Shion.

However, at some point another possibility arose, and running away did not necessarily lead to the desired result.

That’s why he was still watching Zion while hesitating.

“When it’s hard, you can take a little break and do it. You’ve already learned swordsmanship, so what’s the point of being greedy? Since you’re young, can’t you take it slow?”

Harnette took Shion’s hand and put it down slowly.

The trembling hands seemed to calm down little by little.

Shion was looking down at her white hands with a stiff face.

“Are you very good looking to me? I don’t know what to do because a boy who is better than me is having a hard time.”

“… … .”

“Let’s take a little break. People should have a rest. Do you think it would be comfortable with me? Then I’ll be by your side I can only talk to you, but… Can you be satisfied with that?”

Shion is startled for a moment and slowly raises his head.

Hannette was looking at her with a sad look in her eyes.

Only then did Shion realize what he had done.

“That… Forget what you heard earlier. I did it without thinking.”

“It didn’t seem like he had any thoughts.”

“It’s no big deal. You just have to let it flow.”

“Look into my eyes and tell me. Isn’t it really a big deal?”

Shion cautiously looked away and looked into Hanette’s eyes.

It seemed as if the light brown color was gently flowing into my head.

I wanted to say it was nothing, but my voice didn’t come out.

The sorrowful eyes were tying his heart.

“… Are you tired? I don’t know why, but let’s take a break. You will get better if you rest.”

“It’s not because I’m tired. I am a sister… … .”

“Zion.”

Harnette calls out that name for the first time and grabs Shion’s hand.

Shion shuts up for a moment and listens without realizing it.

“Don’t forget that I’m older than you. Should I listen to what my sister has to say?”

“Why are you older here… … .”

“Listen to me.”

Harnette covered Shion’s mouth and pushed her face in.

Shion tried to step back, but another hand grabbed her waist.

A faint breath tickled his cheek, and the strong scent of perfume seemed to permeate him with each breath.

“You are resting here. I’ll be back soon.”

“That… town… … .”

“At that time, I was saying, ‘It went well. Why are you so ignorant of my heart?”

“… … .”

Shion was so flustered that he couldn’t even lift a finger.

It was an unexpected reaction, and it was so reckless that I had no choice but to adjust it.

Above all, it was not easy to get rid of Hanette because he was approaching deeply.

“You would have said that then. You said you couldn’t just watch me suffer. right?”

“Yes… town… … .”

“No, don’t tell me. Just move your head.”

“… … .”

Shion glanced at her for a moment, then reluctantly nodded.

Harnette leans her body at an angle while chanting lowly.

“Are you my fiancé? I’m not married, but I’m close to being. Right or not?”

“… … .”

“I can’t just watch my fiancé, who was always smug, droopy. Do you think so too?”

“… … .”

“I also have a face. If you’re in a bad condition, it seems like it’s because I couldn’t take care of you. Yes or no?”

“that’s… town… … .”

“Don’t talk, just move your head.”

Harnette comes closer and glares at Shion.

His hazy breath grew thicker, and even the smell of perfume became stronger.

Shion swallows the silence and carefully looks away.

“If you took good care of yourself, this wouldn’t have happened. right?”

“… … .”

“Ah, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t my fault. I couldn’t come out when I had to because I was being dragged around by you. Do you admit this too?”

“I… ugh… … .”

“I don’t really listen. Do you want to scold me?”

Shion was dumbfounded, but couldn’t bear to open his mouth.

Harnette was staring at herself with light brown eyes.

How on earth would he scold himself for possessing a demonic sword and implementing even sword skills?

“I will help you as my fiancé, so please accept it quietly. I’m not doing this because I like it too. I can’t just watch you frown.”

“… … .”

“There are many things I want to say, but I will listen to them later. Shouldn’t we have some time to cool off?”

“… … .”

“Okay, I’m going to take my hands off you now, so be quiet. If I go out and come back, we’ll talk again from then on. got it?”

As Shion continued to nod, Hannette slowly backed away and lowered her hand.

The two look at each other without speaking, then sigh.

“… Good bye.”

“Okay, I’ll be back.”

Harnette smiled softly and left the room.

Shion stays still for a while and then sits down belatedly on the bed.

‘I didn’t expect it to come out like that. My face is all hot.’

The capital of the Alain Kingdom, the Baldwin Mission Office.

Mission request offices were widely distributed not only in the capital city, but also in each region.

Everyone had personal business, and even those with the right skills had to find work.

That’s why the mission request office received a fee and introduced the knights or mercenaries, or gave them the opportunity to choose separately after receiving the request.

Apart from that, he handled recruitment announcements for knights and mercenaries instead, or handed over high-paying requests only to famous knights.

‘… He’s not coming today.’

A young man came out of the bar yawning.

As soon as I came to the capital, I posted a recruitment notice, but no one was interested.

Of course, he recruited some colleagues in advance, but he couldn’t be satisfied with that much.

‘It’s as the warden said. It’s not all about having a seat.’

The young man looks at a nearby recruitment board, but then turns his back.

The director of the mission request center showed his skills directly because he did not give out recruitment announcements to newcomers.

The warden was very surprised and accepted his request, and even now he has been recruiting knights.

But nothing had changed for three days, and I was still wasting money and time.

‘Maybe it would be better for me to find it myself.’

After the young man realized his magical powers, he was able to see the essence of humans, albeit faintly.

That person has a certain flow, the level of the body, the amount of magic power, the potential and the potential for the future, etc.

Of course, it was halfway, but it felt like it encompassed the whole part, so it wasn’t something I could be sure of.

‘I don’t think there’s anything called the Knights… … .’

The young man checked the knights belonging to the knights with a little bit of anticipation.

However, I didn’t feel anything special, and rather thought that I was weaker than the colleagues I recruited in advance.

Of course, the Knight Commander, Deputy Knight Commander, or older Knights had a unique sense of weight and dignity.

‘The same goes for the mercenaries.’

The mercenary corps was not structured, and there were many times when the composition of the mercenaries changed irregularly.

That’s why the overall level was seen as inferior to that of the Knights, and rich nobles and merchants never entrusted missions to the mercenaries.

He only used the mercenary corps in a way that he could eat cheaply or secretly entrust things that he couldn’t bear to say.

‘Did I ask for too much?’

The place where he lived was located on the other side of the frontier area, so it was quite peaceful, but there was no knight anywhere that could be said to be strong.

I have always been interested in martial arts stories from remote areas, and I hoped to be able to visit the capital.

Not only the periphery, but also the capital will be overflowing with powerful people, including the Setinos Quasar.

However, contrary to expectations, it was just filled with people who had no substance.

‘Going to the Magic Society or the Kinesien Church… … .’

The young man noticed someone and immediately stopped.

A strange sense of kinship crept into my head, and it felt like a blow to the heart.

He belonged to a different class than the people he was looking for, but perhaps even more.

‘A person who can use a magic sword like me… … .’

The young man ran fast before he could make up his mind.

There were escort knights around, but I had to talk to them somehow.

If you miss now, you won’t even be able to meet next time.

‘He has a lot of magic power. I think it’s a noble lady… … .’

In addition to the escort knights, they also had a special wagon.

I didn’t know why she was wearing a suit even though she was a noble lady, but I decided to think about it later.

Now, only his determination to join his knights was clear.

“Who are you!”

“Stop! If you don’t stand… … .”

Hearing the shouts of the escort knights, Hannette hurriedly turned her head.

Someone in armor was running toward me.

I couldn’t take my eyes off it easily because I felt a familiar sensation for some reason.

“Huh… Heo-eok… there… … .”

“You bastard! Do you want to die?”

Some of the escort knights surrounded Hanette, others pointed their blades at the young man.

Hannette watches indifferently and waits for the young man to catch his breath.

“Huh… Would you like to join the Knights?”

“… Are you talking to me?”

“Yes, we are recruiting knights right now.”

“… … .”

The young man’s answer left the escort knights speechless, and Hannet let out a blank laugh.

Did he know that saying that he ran all the way here would be an invitation to join the team?

“I have no intention of joining the Knights. Even if I were to join, I would find a better guild.”

“It’s fine even for a moment, so give me a chance to convince you! You can just listen!”

“Listening doesn’t change anything. I don’t know how to do anything.”

“It is not! If I can help… … .”

“No, this guy… … .”

“stop. It’s no big deal.”

Harnette immediately turned her back and moved on.

The escort knights reluctantly withdraw their swords and follow Hanette.

The young man looked at the back and shouted with all his might.

“If you change your mind, come to the Baldwin Mission Office! My name is Serran Silaj, and you can find the Sillaz Knights!”

Several of the escort knights turned around, but Hannette didn’t even seem to stop.

However, I wondered if the names of the youth and the knights would be clearly engraved in my head.

‘… It’s not yet time.’

Of course, if he said it so confidently, he could have listened to it at least once.

No one had ever offered to join the Knights in his life, and he seemed quite bold.

But now there were more important things to do.

‘There’s someone I need to take care of.’

In fact, there was no reason to take care of it.

I could have left it as it was, and I could have ignored anything he said.

It was a bond that was forcibly made, and even their feelings for each other wouldn’t be true.

‘I don’t even like it very much.’

Harnette stopped in front of the store laughing.

If I really hated it, I wouldn’t have come all the way here.

Maybe it’s just that I’m interested in a little bit.

‘Because I told you not to go… I have to stay with you. If you hate me, you can leave then.’
