Became the Escort Knight of the Villain in the Romance Novel

110 – Iron Blood Rejects You (6)

Evan’s body froze.

Even if Irene’s expression is unusual, aside from that,

It was true that Eileen and Scarlet were already in a bad mood.

Now that the two people who wanted to avoid meeting at all costs met.

All Evan could do was watch their conversation without saying anything.

“Uh…Hello?”

“Ms. Scarlet Therazane?”

“Yes, yes. That’s right…”

Scarlett looked at Irene’s face and shook her shoulders.

Even if her eyes met for a moment, she couldn’t help but curl her tail involuntarily at something cold in that gaze.

Did she herself do something wrong with her? Thought she did,

In the end, all she did was meet an article she had heard rumors about.

She was just a little longing and curiosity.

People around her used to say that the knight named Evan Fried was a bad person, but

Isn’t she still curious? Because he was always the subject of rumors in the ecliptic.

I just wanted to hold hands with such pure curiosity and longing,

Irene sent a slightly sharper gaze to Scarlett, reading her mind. She

She was a woman like a fox. She pretends to be innocent on the outside, though her eyes twinkle as if she doesn’t know anything.

She is a woman who later turns her back and mutters a sinister secret to herself.

As she has been focusing on her social life lately, Irene made that decision as soon as she saw her Scarlett.

Actually, it didn’t matter that she was really a foxy woman.

She just had a problem with the fact that the woman who came up to Evan was, after all, Scarlett Terra Jane.

As her Irene’s eyes narrowed, Scarlett lowered her head as her body trembled at Irene’s gaze.

Her pale face looked frightened no matter how you looked at it, so Irene withdrew her gaze with a strange smile.

“Evan, no. Please don’t let him get too close to her.”

“…Is that him?”

“Yes, he. What rumors would circulate if a man who already had an occupant dated another woman? If you really want to talk, I’ll let you do it while I’m watching.”

Irene’s cheeks flushed when she said she was him.

It was because she was quite ashamed to say a title she wouldn’t normally do.

It was the same for Evan, and he tried to ignore the heat rising up on her face and just opened her mouth.

‘He?’

We had always called each other by name, but when she was called him, I thought it was quite different.

The presence of Scarlett in front of her was completely forgotten, so Evan swallowed her dry saliva while standing behind Irene.

“Then go now. He is a busy man.”

“……”

“Oh, did my lady disrespect me? Sorry.”

For a while. Evan frowned at the old butler who appeared while Evan lost her mind.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t feel the presence at all, but it was too secretive to be a mediocre butler.

Furthermore, Evan’s nerves were focused on the fact that it belonged to Therazane.

“…No offense. It seemed that he had come just to say hello to her. But.”

The old butler’s eyes softened. As if there is no hostility

Seeing the sun shining in his black eyes, Evan slowly looked away and smiled.

“I didn’t even know he was there. I was a little surprised.”

“Isn’t it because he is an old man with no presence? hahahaha. Miss, I think you should go back. Isn’t His Majesty waiting for you?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Scarlett nodded her head at the old butler’s words, and before long, she lowered her head slightly towards Irene.

Irene sighed lightly as she lowered her head, saying she was sorry, and looked at Scarlett’s face.

Red hair, and eyes dyed redder than her hair.

When Irene, who had her innocent face in her eyes, removed her hand, Scarlett, who finally hesitated and withdrew, disappeared from Irene’s field of vision.

Scarlett disappeared, and Irene, who had been standing blankly staring into the air, turned her gaze to her Evan.

“Evan.”

“…Yes.”

Evan heard Irene’s voice and unknowingly corrected her posture.

She didn’t do anything wrong, but something about her in Irene’s words gave her a feeling that somehow she should act that way.

Irene looked at her Evan for a moment, then she smiled bitterly and rested her forehead on Evan’s chest.

How… How can another woman come to visit me like this when I let go of my nerves just a little bit?

“No. What’s wrong with Evan?”

It must be my own fault for having a very proud person as my lover.

Irene looked at the place where her scarlet disappeared for a while, then moved her steps again holding Evan’s hand.

“By the way, was she outside?”

“……”

Irene didn’t answer that until she went back to the palace.

She didn’t know when she was buying it, but when she told Evan that she bought something… She couldn’t open her mouth at all.

#

Back in the room, Evan explained to Irene everything she had talked about with her emperor.

Since what the black magicians are aiming for is the revival of the ancient dragon Mabet,

The red moon they say actually means a total lunar eclipse.

Hearing that Therazane, Freed, and Hattan families were involved in extinction, Irene looked at Evan with a slightly cautious expression.

“Are you okay?”

“Okay.”

A family called Fried. In the eyes of others, it could be seen that I had to take care of my family on my own.

But Evan didn’t think much of it. Wasn’t she from a family that had nothing to do with her in the first place?

And it was clear that even if she really was Evan Fried, she wouldn’t have much attachment to the family.

“But it’s not something right now.”

The emperor dismissed Fried and Therazane as an afterthought.

If there’s something that needs to be processed a little faster, it’s probably Hattan,

More important than that was the ancient dragon Mabet.

It would be best to be able to block the summoning itself, but is that really possible?

Mabet, the ancient dragon, said to have been killed by the founder, Emperor Alar, with Ascalon.

Its power entwined the entire continent, and it was a legendary being that was said to have shattered mountains and covered the sky alone.

It’s funny that there is an organization that tries to bring such an existence into reality,

When I thought that there was a possibility that such an existence could actually manifest, my head was pounding. However, if there is something odd about it.

‘…Why didn’t this happen in the original story?’

It was still a long way before the original work began.

No, to be precise, wouldn’t it be right that the original work is about to begin?

The main story of ‘Your Love of the Rose Thorn’ begins when Scarlett, who lived in the countryside, comes to the ecliptic.

She would have been right to say that the original work started earlier than she knew.

But many things were different.

I knew that only Roman was gone, and that the families of Hattan, Freed, and Therazane were somehow related to extinction.

Unable to find any family related to extinction,

On the contrary, the situation was completely different from the one in which the family of Euris was accused of treason and executed.

If Annihilation could summon the Elder Dragon Mabet,

The original work should have already drawn the story of the empire being destroyed by Mabet.

However, annihilation was slaughtered by a master named Crown Prince, and despite this, it survived and continued to resist.

But was the annihilation he knew really weak enough to be so helplessly defeated by a master called the Crown Prince?

‘It’s awkward.’

Like a scripted script, annihilation was as helpless as it seemed awkward.

Even though they were enough to overcome with a master of the level of the crown prince,

They were helplessly defeated by the crown prince over and over again. Even high-ranking officials were killed by the crown prince,

I was foolishly aiming for Scarlett, but was discovered and brutally defeated.

We lost a lot of power, and when we destroyed Julis on charges of treason, we were preparing for the final fight against the forces of extinction.

‘…If it really has a script.’

If extinction was deliberately inflicted by the crown prince, what would they gain from it?

Perhaps it is because he has a variable called himself, Evan Fried.

But when I think about it, there are so many things to worry about.

What was Evan Fried doing in the original story?

If he joined Extinction, why didn’t he make a significant appearance?

What about Roman? What about Hattan? Why did you keep silent?

“Evan?”

It was after hearing Irene’s voice in his ears that Evan’s thoughts were broken.

Evan, who managed to get out of the thoughts spreading out of control, looked at Irene with a smile.

Thinking of the original work, I couldn’t find an answer to the complicated twisted situation.

However, if one thing was clear, he was Irene’s escort knight.

No matter how complex the situation was, one thing was clear, and all she could do was protect Irene.

“I was suddenly in a daze. Do you have any concerns?”

“If you’re worried…we have it.”

Evan sneaked closer to Irene on the bed and naturally grabbed Irene’s hand.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a smirk, so Irene, who blushed at Evan’s expression, slightly shrank her body.

What are you trying to say again this time? Let Irene glance at her Evan,

Evan, who had been laughing the whole time, pursed his lips.

“The one I called ‘guy’ earlier. Why don’t you usually do it?”

“…Ah.”

“You called him by his first name, but are you going to call him that only in front of others?”

“Oh no, that’s…”

Even as she was about to say her reason, Irene remembered her reason for calling her that and bit her mouth shut.

How could she say that she called her that because she was jealous in front of her?

To use such a title in front of a woman named Scarlett,

She meant that she dared not raise her hand to her cat in front of her as she watched.

He was the sogaju of Juris, which symbolizes blood and iron.

Isn’t that a blatant title to say that such iron-blooded people reject a woman named Scarlet?

She tried to say it in front of her Evan, however, as Irene pursed her stretched lips and glanced into her Evan’s eyes.

There was nothing she couldn’t do if she asked to be called… But somehow the words just couldn’t get out of her mouth now.

“Hmm, what should I say about Irene? You? Or…just like before.”

Playfully, with a bit of a smirk and a characteristic smile.

Holding Irene’s hand, Evan slowly opened his mouth.

“He?”

As her Irene’s face turned completely red, Evan chuckled and removed her hand from holding her Irene.

You said it well before, but why can’t you do it now?

I knew I was jealous of Scarlett, but teasing like this had its own flavor.

Of course, that was the title a woman used to call her lover, so she couldn’t call her that.

As Evan laughed mischievously, Irene slapped her on Evan’s arm and brushed her flushed cheeks. She

She is playing a prank on herself… She tells her not to do that, but she doesn’t change even though she’s told her several times.

Again, that’s not bad. For some reason, the corners of her mouth twitched. You shouldn’t be reacting to something like this.

As she drank in the hot lemon tea,

Irene’s expression softened as she got a little more comfortable.

Evan, who saw Lemontira and Irene drinking tea, stared at the cup.

Did Irene like lemon tea? She usually only drank Darjeeling,

It was quite unexpected that she liked this kind of thing.

“Did you like lemon tea?”

“No, I don’t like it.”

Since it was still stuffy, Irene licked her lips and raised the teacup.

Lately, she can’t taste the whole food, so she tends to find something sour.

She was strangely sour, so Irene pursed her lips as she felt the scent of tea with lemon tea.

“It’s just, these days, it’s a bit sour.”

It tastes sour, la. At that, Evan just thought she might be.

If people always drink what they like, wouldn’t it be natural for her to get tired of it someday?

By the way, Evan’s eyes were on the package Irene bought.

She seems to have bought a lot, but she never talks about it to herself.

Irene’s shoulders trembled as she realized that Evan’s eyes were on the package.

She wanted to show it off, saying, ‘Tada, it’s a headband.’

The last bit of shame was blocking it.

When Irene’s accident, desperately rolling her head, reached the story her maid had told her,

Irene grabbed Evan’s shoulders and involuntarily opened her mouth in a loud voice.

“Evan!”

“…Yes, Irene.”

Great, Irene coughed and looked at Evan.

She wouldn’t find out what she didn’t want to say about the package.

With that thought, she began to speak her words carefully again.

“Well, His Majesty said he was holding a banquet. Since you’re here this time, I think her purpose is to congratulate you before you leave.”

“A banquet?”

Evan’s expression was quite subtle. If it was a banquet when she was with Irene, she was fine at any time, but

A banquet when Scarlett is here, after all.

She didn’t want to, but she couldn’t be absent from the emperor’s banquet.

Evan reluctantly nodded her head, and Irene started talking about her banquet, which she wanted all this time.

She was slightly surprised by Evan, who knew that Irene had little interest in her social life.

And seeing Irene like that, Evan smiled inwardly.

Apparently, she doesn’t want to talk about what she bought.

She doesn’t know what she bought, but she’s probably trying to celebrate her own birthday.

She vaguely knew that her birthday was coming up, so Evan thought Irene was just cute.

‘It’s okay if you don’t take care of me.’

Since they give me birthday presents every year, I’ve reached the point where I’m satisfied with just that.

It’s not like I hated birthdays like before, it’s because I’m looking forward to the day called birthday now.

With that in mind, I gently brushed the back of Irene’s hair, and Irene was held in her Evan’s arms and sat on her Evan’s leg as it was.

“This banquet. If… No. Well, that will work out.”

Holding her Irene behind her, Evan was about to talk about how to avoid her scarlet, but Evan shut her mouth.

How many times will Irene and Scarlet face each other at a banquet held by the emperor, where all the nobles will attend?

Could it be that the two of them could face each other and fight?

No way.

Evan, who tried to ignore the rising anxiety,

She just smiled lightly as she hugged Irene tightly.
