12 – To Academy

* * * *

“Heo-euk…! Ha-hah…! Ha-ah…!”

Currently, I am being chased by several escort knights who must have been sent by Lily.

say it again They say they’re being chased by escort knights.

… Why are you emphasizing that part?

-Hook!

It was because daggers were piercing the ground as if they were barely reaching me. From before, continue.

The daggers that would have pierced my body if I hadn’t avoided them with all my might.

‘No fuck, are those bastards really escorted?! Whoever sees it is a professional shopper?!’

It’s because I don’t know why the escort knights throw daggers and climb trees.

‘X Ruto?! Fuck you?!’

It seemed right that the emperor’s power had become very strong, unlike before.

Otherwise, her daughter, Lily, would not be able to use escorts of this level.

Even a few years ago, the escort knights the emperor accompanied were enough to cut them like diced diced diced diced diced diced diced diced radish kimchi.

‘That’s a joy, a happy miscalculation… .’

-Hook!

The dagger glided through my hair again and again.

I hope our Lily… You don’t want to be called an assassin princess or something like that, right?

Then it’s difficult… .

“…Contact the captain, is it really okay to kill the target?”

I wonder if he will not even give me time to think as a fugitive, I can live by riding the wind… No, I heard the voices of the escort knights.

… what? You said you could kill me? Lily?

“His Highness said that if he resists to the end, it’s OK to kill him, but he said just kill him because there’s no reason to take him alive, the cause of Her Highness’s stress.”

“…Certainly. The cliff will come out soon anyway… That guy’s tough life ends here.”

“Yeah, it seems like I’ve been lucky enough to avoid it until now… but if there’s no way to escape, it’s over.”

… those dogs.

It seemed that they decided to kill me on their own accord, despite Lily’s orders to kill me if I resisted to the end.

You probably think I’m the root of all evil… Maybe.

… Anyway, I realized why there are only guys like that around me.

The captain must have been very competent, so he put those tricksters on me to limit the direction I could escape from.

Aren’t these guys like real knights on horseback gradually reducing my range of action as if chasing rabbits?

No matter how close it was, I couldn’t help but notice it.

Of course, the sound of horses hooves, which had not been heard until just now, began to be faintly heard at some point.

‘But isn’t this enough to just change the escort between the emperor and the princess?’

That daughter, foolish bastard, seems to have assigned Lily people who would normally be in charge of the emperor’s escort in order to prioritize Lily over herself.

That’s also true, even at first glance, you have to be around a count to be able to take care of kids as strong as them.

If so, the odds for me right now are zero.

There is no proper sword, even if the sword is in my hand… It’s impossible to deal with a number of people of that level with such a weak body.

‘As long as I use them for tracking those who even throw daggers containing magical power… Proper knights must be at a much greater level.’

Perhaps that captain had skills comparable to that of an imperial knight commander.

‘Did I strengthen the emperor’s power too much?’

That’s about it for now, but as time goes on, the emperor’s power will grow even stronger.

That’s also true, since the guy I killed a while ago was the one who had kept the Emperor in check the most.

‘Ehh… I do not know… Well, thanks to that, I don’t have to worry about Lily’s safety, so I should think positively, right?’

… Of course, under the premise that their leader is capable enough to be fooled by my plan.

If that guy is stronger than I expected, he might notice my artifact.

* * * *

“Ha ha… ha ha… whoa…”

“The long run has come to an end, and I struggled for a servant without any ability… but it seems that the superhuman strength that comes out of a life-and-death situation ends here.”

A man walked out of the group that was chasing me and said to me,

What to hide, that guy is the captain of the escort. The one who is trying to kill me by overinterpreting Lily’s orders.

– Turbuck.

Even though he took a step closer to me, I couldn’t even flinch my legs away from him.

“There’s no way to escape anymore.”

As the man said, I’m at the edge of a cliff right now.

… Surrounded by those escorts.

“…Did the princess ask you to? Follow me? Just follow me?”

‘I didn’t need this many knights to chase only one person.’ With that in mind, I asked the man.

The man then looked around and smiled at me while raising one corner of his mouth in a bad mood.

“Actually, it would take just one of these guys to kill you… but they all want to see you die.”

“…I haven’t even seen your faces properly.”

Of course, I’ve seen it in real life. Every time they sparsely appear somewhere, I move my eyes very briefly.

But no mere valet could do that, so I had to pretend I was seeing most of them for the first time.

“You don’t know, but we know. Besides… Her Highness’s daily ‘prayer’… How can we, as escorts, not care?”

“…In other words, killing me is all for the sake of the princess?”

“Yeah. Well…and we, too, don’t like you very much. There’s no way we would like a person the lord hates so much….”

Oh my God, so many people hate me. I’m probably going to live a long time.

Anyway, it’s a bit reassuring. Those escorts make their own decisions and act, but even that was done out of the heart for Lily.

– Turbuck.

The man took a step closer to me and said.

“This is more than your karma. The sin of daring to incur the wrath of Her Highness, the sin of daring the empress to die while taking care of a commoner like you. So, accept it sweetly.”

And at the same time as he finished speaking, the sword raised towards me.

Still, it seemed that he had some mercy, and that he intended to slit my throat at once rather than kill me painfully.

… The preparations are over.

At this moment, the rain is pouring down and even the pitch-black darkness makes it impossible to see even an inch ahead along with the rain.

Because I had done preliminary work beforehand, the ground would collapse at any moment if I stepped on it even a little hard.

And even an artifact that will activate right before falling to the ground.

‘Still, I wanted to leave in style at the end.’

That’s why I stepped on the ground, reciting famous lines from Korean noir movies I’ve seen before.

“Yeah, it’s the perfect weather to die…yes!”

-Kugugung!

At the same time, the ground supporting my feet collapses, and my body begins to fall toward the endless cliff.

“Wowaaa!!!!”

‘Ooh ooh ooh… ! Fuck! This is a bit heartbreaking, isn’t it?!’

At the end, I wanted to show you how to die on my own two feet in style, but I screamed like this, so I’m speechless.

That’s right, the man’s expression in my falling vision,

Literally, I was putting on a look of bewilderment at the sudden fall.

“aaa!!!!”

… So, I fell to the ground, regretting that I should have experienced bungee jumping at least once in my previous life.

* * * *

Chirp chirp chirp… .

The chirping of birds tickles my eardrums.

“Huh… is it morning already?”

Early in the morning than usual when I wake up.

Still, I had to get up from my bed.

Because today is the day of the academy’s entrance ceremony that I’ve been waiting for so long.

“Hmm… at this level, you’ve become quite manly, right?”

For some reason, I couldn’t help but admire the figure of a man who was taller than usual, reflected in the window.

Black hair like pitch black. Eyes that seemed cold, yet showed kindness somewhere. The bridge of the nose and the line of the jawline are straight like a cut.

But even so, it seems that he still can’t get out of the boy’s tee… .

Rather, it made him possess the charm of both a boy and a man, and there was a man there with a demonic charm that bewitched women.

“Pin bastard… You must have made a lot of girls cry when you were young, right?”

Yes. I was admiring Finn’s face, which I can now call mine.

… In ‘the hut’ where I and her nested.

In the cabin, which now I can properly call home, thanks to my overhaul.

‘Do you think I’m leaving, because I can’t think of anywhere else to go other than here’

1 year ago.

I fell off the cliff with no end in sight and succeeded in landing safely using an artifact just before hitting the ground.

Then, after spraying my blood, which I had prepared in advance, on the floor,

That I tore the clothes I was wearing with my hands as if I had been attacked by an animal and scattered them all over the place before running away.

After that, they lived in this hut, occasionally selling wild animals they hunted to the village, and using the money to buy food ingredients.

‘… Since nothing has been heard about me, he must have thought I was dead.’

That would be true, even I had a hard time getting out of the forest.

Even if you were lucky enough to survive that seemingly endless fall,

There’s no way a mere attendant could survive in that forest teeming with beasts and monsters.

“By the way, this eye doesn’t change even if you use an artifact…”

I murmured as I looked at my odd eye, whose left eye had turned gold before I knew it, even though my right eye was still red.

reason? I don’t know why either.

Read at noblemtl. com

Just one day, after eating as usual, I looked at the glass window and, well, my eyes had become odd-eyed.

I didn’t notice any changes in my body, so I didn’t notice it at all, so I don’t know exactly when I became odd-eyed.

However, if it is a change that has been felt… How much did your swordsmanship skills noticeably increase?

What… Because good is good

It didn’t feel like it would do me any harm, so I decided to leave this odd eye alone.

“It’s fine because it’s nice because it’s shiny… but the problem is that even if you use the trace changer, this eye remains the same…”

A necklace-type artifact that changes its appearance. trace changer.

It is an artifact that I prepared in advance because I couldn’t live with the appearance of this pin.

At that moment, the morning sunlight intensely stabbed my eyes as I was looking at the window. The sunlight told me there was no time to procrastinate.

“Ugh…! Isn’t this the time to leisurely admire my face! It’s like this that made me late for the entrance ceremony…!!”

do not do that.

That’s because I must stop an event that will happen on the day of the entrance ceremony.

It’s because I have to be the main character of the heroine rescue event to save Lily from the demons who attack the academy on the day of the entrance ceremony.

“…I can’t hand our Lily over to that indecisive bastard Ian.”

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I hated the NTR genre the most in the world.

Besides, it was clear to my eyes that if Ian and Lily were to get involved again, all my efforts so far would be in vain, so I hurriedly left the house for the academy.

to see her again. To build a relationship with her once again.

This time, instead of being the servant Finn, I became a different being.
