The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away

7. I don’t want to participate in the birthday party (1)

“Where is this, sitting on the bare floor and exposing your ankles? Are you going to brag that you inherited the blood of a vulgar b*tch?”

You knocked me down.

Elijah did not point out the facts.

She didn’t feel like retorting, so she was silent.

At this moment, she was a sinner.

Narcissus in front of her was a judge and bailiff.

The crime is an illegitimate child.

The blue eyes looking down are cold and sharp.

Because I got used to it over and over again, it didn’t even feel cold.

Now it doesn’t hurt to be stabbed anymore.

Elijah stood up, just looking her straight in the eye.

“What good is this, raise her eyes!”

Narsisi could not hold back her boiling anger and kicked Elijah.

Her lady lifted her leg and kicked her.

It was her uncivilized thing she just said.

But she couldn’t control her emotions.

When I looked at that face that said that no matter what happened to me, I couldn’t control my emotions.

Elijah, who had kicked her in the stomach, made her stand up without a sound of pain.

She once acted as Narcissus wished.

Crying on her knees, she begged that she was wrong.

She doesn’t even know what she did wrong.

Still, Narcissus did not stop his violence.

He was the reason why he should not cry easily or ask for favors from others because he is a nobleman.

Apart from the shouting, the superiority-drenched smile never left Narcissus’ face at that time.

Elijah now knows. She

She’s not beating herself up for a reason.

She wants to hit herself, so she comes up with a good reason.

Her true heart was infinitely ugly.

Contempt for illegitimate children.

To be precise, I was jealous of Elijah’s real mother who played with her husband.

Digging deeper, she will be angry and disgusted with her husband for giving her heart to his real mother.

The hatred just turned around and moved to Elijah.

Elijah’s biological mother died in a fire accident.

Of course I know it’s not an accident.

Elijah too. Narcissus too.

“She brought a boy into her guest room.”

Narsisi said, wiping my hands with her handkerchief.

“Did you call to prove your dirty lineage? At that age, not to be on her feet…. You are like a child of a thousand things who dances naked in front of others and spreads his legs easily. I didn’t like it because I was anxious since my hunting competition.”

It was too much profanity for a child.

But Elijah answered calmly.

“I only got it because I needed it. To tame the moon deer, a spiritual creature and the holy beast of the Church of the Moon.”

Elijah is weak. She has no foundation.

She can’t kill Narcissus yet.

Narcissus has no power, but she has her foundation and strength.

However, Elijah’s natural talent for magic was not something that could be easily touched.

Besides being an illegitimate child, he was the most influential child as the next head of household.

It’s not just because of the magician’s qualities.

Elijah was an excellent person in her own right.

Appearance, grace, sophistication, intelligence. In all respects.

Elijah knows what Narcissus is not accepting.

Narcissistic, she is afraid of herself.

One day, if Elijah becomes the head of household.

Or when a wizard’s talent blooms and becomes a truly powerful wizard.

Because the first target to be purged will be Narcissus.

And the children of Narsisi will be pushed away by Elijah.

But, well.

Should it really end with killing?

“Rather than killing and eating meat, I think taming it and keeping it under me is a much rarer and more valuable act.”

Elijah said with a soft smile.

Narcissi involuntarily inhaled until a sound was heard.

She is a little girl who is less than half her size.

But sometimes it gave me goosebumps.

What is hidden under that mask?

The red eyes that resemble my father are like frighteningly beautiful jewels.

On the other hand, the black hair resembling a lowly monster was unpleasant enough to smell.

Like an unwashed rag.

“You dirty b*tch-!”

It wasn’t that she couldn’t understand the meaning behind her words.

Narcissi put his hand on Elijah’s face.

Pair! A cheerful slap sound erupted.

I had never touched her face before.

It was the first time he had been hit on the cheek, but Elijah was not surprised.

She just caressed her hot cheek and looked up at Narcissus.

“There is a birthday party soon.”

Narsisi said as if nothing had happened.

“Don’t let a scandal arise. Because your presence already adds to the family’s reputation.”

“Yes.”

“This is a place where the whole family gathers for you, so keep your cool.”

It meant that no one would know that he had touched her face.

Therefore, you cannot be treated by a doctor or a priest.

Elijah meekly agreed.

“Okay. However, she wants one teacher to be replaced.”

“… What? If you learn, how much do you dare to evaluate and replace them?”

“Educators who are more interested in their students than in their learning are not excellent. Sardis is like that.”

“It’s all because it has a meaning, what do you know….”

It was Narsisi’s prerogative to appoint a tutor.

As this was an expected reaction, Elijah was not disappointed.

However, when she remembered Sardis’ gaze at her, she became displeased.

Like bugs crawling all over her body.

“You don’t even know the subject, and there are a lot of requests. Tsk…. It’s a sin to be born, so why celebrate? .”

Narcissi muttered and left. She

Was talking to herself to be heard.

Elijah looked at the door Narcissus had left and raised her hand.

The yellow fire gathered and scattered in her palm.

‘I’m still not good enough.’

She practices and receives education in her spare time, but she still lacks firepower.

When she was young, her uncontrollable power weakened after a certain incident.

It’s not enough to kill people.

Leah came over and cleaned Elijah and changed her clothes.

She watched everything from beginning to end.

There is nothing more disgraceful than insulting her master in front of her servant, but Elijah didn’t mind.

Anyway, Lia knows that Narcissi is the one who has been assigned to watch over her.

The fire you lit a while ago will also be reported to Narcissus.

It didn’t matter.

She rather hoped so.

There was also an intention to provoke Narcissus on purpose.

“How are the preparations for the banquet you talked about this morning going?”

Elijah said she looked in the mirror as if nothing had happened.

Every time she was so calm, Lia unconsciously bit her lip.

It felt like black pus was growing in her heart.

That’s only for a moment.

Lia immediately changed her expression and replied in a sensible way.

“The work of creating a space for animals to roam in the mansion is said to be starting soon. But carpentry, masonry, and lighting crafts are still there.”

“Yes. Tell Miguel to hurry up.”

“Yes. Miss.”

Lea put makeup on Elijah’s cheeks with a brush.

Paint both cheeks the same flush, so they don’t look like they’ve been hit.

After a simple cheek make-up, Elijah looked just like a ruddy girl.

“Anna just happened to come and she went back.”

“Anna?”

Judah’s maid.

She remembered right away.

“What happened?”

“She said that the guest had something to deliver.”

“… Judas? To me? Bring it.”

Anna arrived just now, holding a flower in her arms.

Red flower. Two bunches.

Not knowing what happened to Elijah, she spoke politely.

“These are the flowers Judas has prepared to give to the young lady.”

“… Her!”

Elijah involuntarily burst out laughing.

She didn’t even realize she hadn’t laughed out loud in years.

It was absurd. Too much

‘Only two flowers?’

I got tired of receiving flowers.

She once received a bouquet of 100 flowers wrapped at once.

It was so big that I couldn’t even hold it with my hands.

That was the minimum.

The one who gave the most flowers was the collateral of the imperial family who requested an arranged marriage.

It was enough to turn the entire mansion into a flower garden.

I threw away everything.

I don’t care what happened.

But, she only has two songs to herself.

Anna didn’t know what to do with Elijah’s reaction.

It was obviously given by Judas, but she was ashamed of herself.

Lea quickly examined Elijah’s complexion and said,

“Take it right away….”

“No.”

Elijah interrupted him.

“Bring it.”

Anna held out her flower while hiding her timidity.

Red flowers wrapped in cheap paper.

It was the most you could buy with the 10 florins Judas gave you.

‘How much do you want to do something like this?’

The flowers and packaging were so cheap that Elijah had no idea how much they cost.

“Bring the vase.”

“Yes?”

Elijah looked up at Leah, as if she had to say it twice.

“Sorry.”

Lea hurriedly brought a polished glass vase.

Elijah stared at that and shook her head.

“Something else.”

Elijah nodded her head only when Leah brought back her fourth vase.

It was a special vase with thorny vines splendidly embossed on the glass.

Never written before.

Elijah put flowers in a handmade vase.

“Fill it with water and put it on my desk.”

“Okay.”

Leah answered immediately, but she couldn’t believe this reality.

The flowers I have received so far are all Elijah who treated them as garbage.

A mere two flowers are not even worthy of garbage.

Such Elijah, she gladly accepted the flowers.

What does it mean?

Lia left her room in deep thought.

Elijah thought of the vase and she smiled.

It was absurd.

Even Judas, who gave such a simple gift.

Well, she doesn’t hate herself for some reason.

‘It’s fresh.’

Yes, it is truly a fresh and valuable experience.

Elijah knows the name of that red flower.

Anemones.

The flower language too.

‘A painful love that cannot be fulfilled.’

Certainly outrageous.

I don’t think I chose it knowingly.

“Anna.”

“Yes. Miss.”

“By the way, why do you want to give me flowers?”

“It is in the sense of repaying thanks to the young lady for taking care of it and always looking at it favorably.”

“Hmm.”

Is that so?

It’s obvious that she feels uncomfortable standing in front of her.

When we first met her, I remember that she was openly hostile.

I don’t even look like a person to fawn over.

What is your intention?

Not easy to see.

“And there are other gifts, but he said he would give them himself.”

“Again? I look forward to it.”

I was sincere.

What fresh gift did you prepare?

“Let’s go. Oh, tell Judas that I can’t go see the moon deer today.”

Having bitten Anna, Elijah called Miguel and Gawain.

An upcoming birthday banquet.

At that time, I thought of a way to f*ck Narsisi.

“I’m going to invite her candidates to her birthday banquet.”

Miguel tried to say no, but then shut his mouth.

Although there is a purpose, it is a problem that she allowed Judas to stay in her mansion for a few days.

But, to invite candidates to a banquet where only nobles gather?

It’s sure to get in the way of gossip.

But she was to do if Elijah would.

“A minimum justification is necessary, right?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Let’s make it a showdown between her candidates. In the name of inviting the most likely candidate to become my escort driver. However, individual confrontation will take a long time. It’s easy to get scandalized.”

Elijah concocted her plan and justification on the spot.

“So, it’s a room competition where 5 representatives are selected each time. For each person in the winning room…. Wasn’t the injury you gave Judas the other day 1,000 florins?”

“One hundred florins, young lady.”

“Give that much. If you win, you can join the banquet in my mansion and eat freely.”

Miguel scribbled quickly.

“Can we proceed without disruption to training?”

“Yes. Miss. I will.”

“Yes. I trust that the detailed rules will be fine-tuned.”

“Yes. It will be completed within a few days and notified to the candidates.”

“Yes. Now, both of you, leave.”

What will Judas show this time?

For some reason, she felt certain that she would win.

There is no evidence.

What will happen if he joins his banquet and bumps into other family members?

He is a man who was much older than himself and rebelled against the strong Cale without hesitation.

Can we do that here too?

It was fun because it was unpredictable.

Looks like an untamed wild animal.

This plan will damage your reputation and honor as a noble.

But I didn’t care.

It was more important to be able to plausibly discredit the Bevel family.

I was looking forward to seeing what Judas would show.

I wonder if we can exceed our expectations this time around.

It was time for Elijah to study, so she headed to the study room.

Two anemones in a vase greeted me.

I laughed again.

It’s too trivial.

But why don’t you hate that insignificance?

Sitting at her desk, she checked her time and pulled out her philosophy book.

[The Dialectic of Master and Slave.]

At that age, it was full of expressions and rhetoric that were difficult to understand, but Elijah understood and read it through.

Sometimes when I see anemones, I smile.

Then I thought of Judas, and also of the moon deer.

The moment I stroked the moon deer’s back.

‘… It was soft.’

Her little hand wriggled alone.

I tried my best to ignore the tingling sensation on my cheeks.

***

[You have completed the hidden quest, ‘The First Moon Deer Breeder.]

[Provides a reward.]

[Magic Acquisition (Lv.3) – Lunar Attribute.]

“Crazy….”

Swearing came out due to fostering.

mana.

There are levels 1 and 2, but they have mana, but starting from 3, it is slightly different.

A level where you can feel the magic in earnest and try something.

But it wasn’t the 3rd level that surprised me.

‘Moon attributes… ?’

In this world, there is one main god and several lower gods.

The moon is a branch of that sub-god.

In other words, the moon attribute means that it contains the power of a god.

‘It’s very difficult to get….’

Most

Properties can be partially implemented only with specific items.

Especially for something as rare as the moon attribute.

However, having the moon attribute attached to magic means that from now on all the magic I use will be realized as the moon attribute.

But there is a problem.

How do you use magic?

‘What is magic in the first place?’

I lived in a world where there was no magical power or magic.

No matter how much I experienced this world as a game, there was no way I knew what magic was.

I tried various things next to the moon deer.

Either concentrating quietly, trying to feel the energy flowing from the body, or imagining the power extending outward.

It was all to no avail.

‘I just need to learn slowly.’

I checked the status window for the first time in a while.

With the egg yolk mushroom last time, your stamina increased by 3, and the rest of your stats also rose slightly.

[Health: 10.5]

[Strength: 5.6]

[Quickness: 12.1]

[HP: 3.0]

The biggest change is, of course, the newly added magic stat.

It definitely means that there is magic in the body, so there is no need to be impatient.

By using mana, you can explosively strengthen your physical abilities.

This is called ‘magical liberation’.

The effect is proportional to the magic stat.

But you don’t need that much power right away.

“A wonderful fellow.”

I stroked the neck of the moon deer.

He is a very unique and useful guy.

He rubs his head as if he feels good after being stroked.

It was a coincidence, and I’m doing this near Elijah’s mansion because of him, but I also think I’ve tamed him well.

I am grateful to Elijah for saving me as a result.

‘… Ah. That wrist. It reminded me of it again.’

Why is that?

Thinking about it, it was a problem I couldn’t figure out.

*

Morning.

I ate Anna’s sandwich heartily.

It’s delicious and everything is good, but the protein is lacking.

‘I wish I could eat protein without wanting even for a day…. If I eat well, my stats will grow faster.’

I returned to the training center before morning training.

It’s been a while.

I left on Saturday morning and returned on Monday morning.

Room 13. Richard, who found me, was astonished as if he had seen a ghost.

“Uh uh uh… ! Yu, Yuda! Hey man! Are you okay? Uh?”

He rushed over and grabbed my shoulder and shook me.

“What, what happened to you? Didn’t you do something strange?”

In Richard’s mind, nobles seem to be similar to devils.

Doesn’t he know that it’s half an insult to Elijah?

“I was worried because he didn’t come all weekend. I heard Sir Thomas come on Monday.”

Dylan was relatively calm.

Anyway, since he was taken away by a nobleman and has been away for several days, it’s worth letting his imagination run wild.

Some of them looked at me with dark, shady eyes.

Crazy guys.

I briefly explained why I was staying.

“… Anyway, I think I’ll stay there until I completely tame the moon deer.”

“Looking at it now, does this guy seem to have succeeded?”

“Going into the lady’s mansion….”

A barrage of questions followed.

How spacious the mansion is.

What is the room like?

Didn’t Elijah tell you to become an escort knight?

And so on. Answered appropriately.

The question of delusional love beyond her status with Elijah was lightly chewed.

They are crazy people. Really.

“Somehow he smells like oil?”

Richard said suddenly.

Argon agreed from the side.

It seems like we’ve become friends before we know it.

“It smells like cheese, and it smells like salty….”

“You man, can I eat something delicious by myself?”

“Are there any cookies and chocolate left over from me?”

“Of course I meant to say you can eat it! Uh, you can eat it all by yourself!”

Richard changed his words smoothly.

There was a burst of laughter.

I changed my clothes and went to the training ground.

A playground made of sand.

Notified by Thomas, Section 5 Officer.

“Everyone knows that it is Lady Elijah’s birthday soon. She said that the lady was very satisfied with the results of the last hunting competition.”

Around the time those words came out, people around me glanced at me.

“He wants to give you another glory. From today, all afternoon training sessions will be changed to match against the room.”

A great battle against the room?

“The rules are as follows. Every day, after randomly selecting an event and a room to compete, each room selects 5 people to compete. In this way, a winner is determined, and the person in the winning room gets the opportunity to participate directly in the banquet on the birthday of the young lady.”

Participate directly in a noble’s birthday party.

It was a luxury that many of the candidates here couldn’t even dream of.

I wasn’t too keen on it.

Yes, on her birthday, Elijah….

‘Wait a minute. Will there be a lot of protein there?’

I changed my mind.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a go?

“And here.”

Thomas held up a small piece of paper.

“The bracket has already been decided. I will recite it from now on, so remember it well.”

I felt a stinging gaze from somewhere.

When I turned my head, a large young man glared at me fiercely.

I quickly recognized who it was.

A group of people who cursed at me behind my back during the last hunting competition.

Among them, he seemed like a captain.

He is also the one who chased the moon deer until the end.

‘… By the way, what’s his name?’

Room 15 judging from where you lined up.

Around there, the other personnel in Room 15 also glared at me with displeasure or glared at me.

“Next. The first opponent in Room 13 is….”

I did not avoid their gaze.
