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

8. You have to listen until the end

Judas’ personal information from another place.

Elijah noticed something unusual about the document.

[Supposed to be a slave with special training.]

[From the time he was sold, he showed an unusual appearance unlike his peers.]

[A state of skillfully using objects and tools that are not weapons, such as pieces of glass, stones, and pens, as weapons. Less aversion to murder, etc.]

[However, judging from the loss of sleep after the murder, it is not completely immune.]

[Assuming a product trained for sales purposes.]

Judecca said she kept this document.

It is an amphitheater boasting a vast scale.

A fighter who fights well soon becomes famous in Giudecca, and a famous fighter attracts popularity and money.

The projection of Giudecca appears in two ways.

Recruit people from Giudecca and train them, or buy trained people from outside.

‘But this…. It’s unnatural.’

Elijah asked after reading her papers.

“Where did you sell Judas to Giudecca?”

“This is Gomorrah. However, it was said that they were slaves brought from other markets in Gomorrah. But that market is not left on paper.”

“You traded trained slaves and left no ledgers?”

Unnatural and suspicious.

The better you train your slaves, the higher your reputation will be.

Judecca, as well as other arenas, will try to find and trade the group that trained the slave.

This leads to the benefit of the group.

The ledger is the means to prove it.

However, they did not leave a record.

“Who is the person who bet on this Judas and won?”

“This is Angra.”

That’s a name I heard somewhere.

Elijah banged on her desk and flipped through her memories. She

She Suddenly remembered the identity.

“… If it’s Angra, isn’t it one of the bishops of the Moonshin Church?”

“Yes.”

Wolsingyo, a religion that worships the moon.

They are on the opposite side of the Bebel family, who worship the sun, the main god.

It’s not bad, but it’s not good either.

I heard it was bad in the very distant past.

The time when it was said that they split from one in the beginning.

Allied to quell evil spirits, and recently signed an agreement for peace.

‘Come to think of it….’

Elijah thought of Judas.

The moment he used magic.

As a sorceress, she read Judas magical power delicately and accurately.

Silver magical power that spreads softly.

The texture against the skin was cold.

Most magical energy is pale blue, and has no tactile feel.

‘It was similar to the divine power felt by the priest of the Church of the Moon.’

The corner of Elijah’s mouth went up involuntarily.

She felt like she had discovered an interesting and interesting problem.

“Wolsinism would forbid slaves in its doctrine. Did Angra secretly use slaves or have a slave market? Or, did you take it to be freed as a slave?”

“I haven’t been able to confirm that.”

“Fun. Come to know more Maybe it’s related to the information guild….”

Elijah twitched her lips and sighed through her nose.

Information Guild.

Even in the Bebel family, they are a difficult family to dig into.

Because the operation is so point-organized, it is meaningless to subdue or threaten by force.

When they get entangled, things are not easily resolved.

“If you care about them, your head will hurt.

“Okay.”

“And speaking of Guliott.”

Elijah also took out another document containing Guliott’s personal details.

“He is a direct descendant of a Philistine baron.”

Elijah pulled out another document.

Contract for train track installation permit.

It was like they were trying to build a track that would pass through the Philistine territory.

“I can use this as an excuse to lower the price. Aside from the disposition regarding Guliott.”

“How would you dispose of it?”

“Take it away. Follow the Philistines for the funeral method.”

“I will.”

“Sir Gawain.”

At those words, Gawain, who had been silent until now, took a step forward.

His head was still hanging.

He didn’t even dare to raise his eyes.

“I’ll think a little more about how to deal with it.”

Gawain is a knight under direct control of his family.

No matter how Elijah he was, he was a person who could not be easily touched.

“I have no face. Miss.”

“How comfortable would the world be if things could be improved just by reflection?”

The careless words were pinching not only Gawain, but the truth of the world.

Elijah stroked his cheek.

The spot where Narcissus hit me was still stinging.

Her birthday banquet is just a few days away.

She was sure even then that the swelling would not go away.

Then her gaze landed on an anemone placed on one side of her desk.

Fishik, I burst into laughter without knowing it.

It was time to go see him soon.

At that time, her butler, who was in charge of serving her customers, hurriedly came to visit her.

“Mrs. Narsisi has come to see you.”

*

“The gear is crazy.”

As soon as the Duchess entered her room, she grabbed Elijah by the hair and beat him.

“It’s not just one person, what? You’re going to bring those cloths to the mansion as a group for your birthday banquet?!”

Narcissus shouted in her throat.

“Isn’t it rumored that the Bebel family is corrupt?”

I heard the news that the dueling tournament was held.

I thought it was just timid rebellion.

I never thought I would invite them to my mansion.

If you knew face and reputation, it was natural that you couldn’t do that.

However, Elijah was sincere.

This exasperated reaction of Narsisi was all according to Elijah’s intention and expectation.

So.

“P….”

Elijah couldn’t contain her laughter.

“Phuh, heh, heuhuhh, heuhhahahahaha-!”

It was a pathetically obvious and childish response.

To the point of being trivial and uninteresting.

But for some reason, I kept laughing.

Looking at Elijah laughing, Narcissus frowned as if he had seen a bug in her.

“Crazy b*tch….”

My voice trembled.

I was fed up with the gruesome and grotesque reaction.

“Yes, this is not a problem that can be solved by your years! Rescind that decision immediately! This is an order as the duchess and the archduke’s representative!”

“If you don’t like it.”

Elijah suddenly spoke in a cold, low voice.

“What are you going to do?”

She was expressionless as if she had never laughed.

“Are you going to kill me?”

“You… !”

“You can’t do that. So, are you going to cancel my birthday banquet, which is only a few days away? No way. I’ve already sent out all the invitations, but that doesn’t work either.”

Narsisi could not refute.

Her clenched fists just trembled.

“The only thing the Duchess can do is assault me, who is so tender. Unfortunately. And more sadly, that savage act cannot reverse my decision or change reality.”

“… ….”

“The Duchess. If you are so complacent, you will never achieve anything.”

At the end, Elijah grinned.

It was a beautiful smile like a painting.

It was terrifying.

It was a painting, so it didn’t look like a human.

“I-I will definitely remember this incident! Remember!”

Seeing Narcissus leave as if running away, Elijah let out a sneer.

Today’s work made me more curious.

What will happen when that Narcissus and Judas meet?

Can Judas be cocky with Narcissus?

She got up and straightened her body.

Erased the bright smile.

Leah came right up to her, straightened her clothes, and applied red makeup to her cheeks.

She had to try to keep her expressionless.

Seeing the mad Elijah, her complexion turned blue, and she was the one who lowered her head because she couldn’t bear to look at her anymore.

Fortunately, Elijah was not interested in Leah’s expression.

She just glanced at the wall clock.

“Tell Judas that I am going.”

“… Yes. Miss.”

*

“Hello.”

Judas had already arrived at the stable.

It was an uncomfortable stable at first, but Elijah was used to it now.

“Meet Miss Elijah.”

Judas greeted her with gauze attached to her face.

“Aren’t you supposed to rest?”

Judas doubted her own ears.

As far as he knew, she wasn’t someone to worry about.

“Thank you for your concern. This much is fine.”

Today too, Elijah’s cheeks were red.

Judas, she didn’t think much of it.

Isn’t she just too much pink makeup for a child of hers, she thought.

“If so.”

Stable Keeper Bradley brought a wooden stand.

Elijah stood over it.

It was natural because it was repeated over several days.

Yuda petted the moon deer as usual while she fed him yellow umbrella mushrooms one by one.

The moon deer was still calm, and Elijah was still stiff today.

It has been repeated for several days, but Elijah still finds it difficult and uncomfortable to pet the moon deer.

Judas glanced at her strange sight.

To think that Elijah was difficult and awkward with her. It’s been a few days too.

Is she still a child?

The adult Elijah he knew was not a person to associate with animals.

If you don’t burn her to death just because she’s annoying, she’s lucky.

“Oh, excuse me.”

Bradley approached cautiously.

“How about having the lady brush her hair herself?”

“Comb?”

“Yes. Even livestock are brushed.”

“You want me to do that?”

That was a correct point.

Cleaning the livestock is the labor of the servant who manages the livestock.

“Oh no, sorry! I just want you to become friendly with the moon deer…. Cattle love to be brushed by their friendly owners. It seems that the lady has become appropriately intimate with the moon deer these past few days, so she hopes to be a little more helpful…. I had no other intentions.”

“Hmm.”

Elijah looked down indifferently at Bradley, who was hunched over.

The pouty lips were proof that he was contemplating the words just now.

“Bring it to me.”

Bradley hastily fetched the animal comb.

Receiving it, Elijah narrowed her eyes.

“This is a comb… ? What looks like this knife?”

Elijah held the comb away as if looking at a dangerous object and glared at it.

When used on people, it looks like it will tear the scalp.

“The animals have thick fur and strong hides, so that’s okay.”

Elijah still frowned in disbelief.

But she was curious.

Comb. Comb it

This is an act he always received from the maid.

Elijah began to comb slowly.

It was a weak movement that seemed almost to touch, so the combing was not done properly.

“You can make it a little stronger.”

As Bradley said, Elijah tilted her head.

‘I think it hurts….’

She carefully strained her hand.

Evil, evil.

A cool sound spread as if sweeping the floor with a broom.

Finally properly combed.

“… Lose your hair.”

Elijah grumbled but didn’t stop brushing her hair.

Judas looked at her with a strange look.

She didn’t even know she dared to look straight ahead.

‘What am I looking at?’

Days passed, but he still felt awkward watching Elijah tending her moon deer.

It’s hard to even imagine.

But when you look at it, it suits you well.

She’s just a clumsy girl.

She felt like she was looking at a painting because she was like a red-haired doll.

‘It’s like a kid who comes to the farm to play and experience brushing.’

Her visible wrists have increased scars.

Judas only glanced at her and turned her head away.

It was because she was conscious of Lia’s gaze.

‘I don’t look at it as tenaciously as last time.’

What happened to make more scars?

Does Leah know this?

Okay. Aristocrats here receive bath attendants.

Dueling competition.

I doubt this too.

Elijah is not the type to invite her escort knights and her candidates to her own birthday banquet.

She was frankly reluctant.

Even though I coveted the prize money and meals.

Her adult, Elijah, became even more insane on her own birthday.

The scale of the massacre is different.

She was worried about that.

If the same thing happens again, wouldn’t it?

But….

Judas looked up at her little Elijah.

In the way she combed her hair with concentration, she couldn’t even find a trace of the madness and murderous intent she knew.

So, wouldn’t it be okay for a little bit?

She may not yet be as strong as a wizard as she was when she was an adult.

Elijah was completely immersed in brushing.

Her daily life here has become her new favorite time she doesn’t know about.

Looking after the moon deer at the stable, with Judas.

It’s the only time of the day when she doesn’t have to think about anything.

All I had to do was move Leah along with her shifter footrest.

All he does is carefully comb the body of the moon deer.

At one point, she welcomed this situation and said she was over herself.

It must have been meaningless.

It would be beneficial to read at least one more book and process at least one more document at a time like this.

However, Elijah did not want to give up this time.

I don’t know why.

Because this is the first time.

In fact, Judas is like that too.

She could have just let it go.

Something like feeding mushrooms can be done by someone else.

But….

Elijah looked at Judas as she loosened her comb.

It is a strange creature.

In this mansion, she stands out in particular.

The mansion of Elijah.

Everyone except yourself exists only for yourself.

Maid, maid, butler, cook.

Soldiers and Knights.

A funeral priest, a stable keeper, a seamstress, a doctor, and so on.

Only talents selected for the direct child of the Bebel family named Elijah.

And then, she finds herself unpicked by people.

The only one among them is Judas, whom she brought along at her own whim.

It is not something someone selected for you instead.

Since you are a candidate for escort knights, you should be loyal to yourself like everyone else, but well.

In Elijah’s opinion, Judas’ loyalty was bizarre.

It is difficult to express in specific language.

Elija thought deeply, but moved diligently.

At first glance, it was a heartwarming sight.

A girl who looks like a doll is trying to brush a deer several times bigger than herself.

But there was no such person.

Bradley and Riado.

I didn’t dare to see Elijah as a cute girl.

Except for one person, Judas.

He was happy in his heart, but he repeatedly reprimanded himself for being crazy.

There was a constant struggle inside.

Elijah’s inner side also became busy for different reasons.

When you finish brushing her, she has a mountain of things to go back and deal with.

Things to do today.

What to do next.

And more to do for the future.

The future determined by the hour was entangled in my head.

‘I learned the philosophical theory that I studied the other day…. Then, an ideal novel and a play each…. Tomorrow, we have to finalize the right to build the track and right of passage in the Breset estate. I also need to figure out the right to mine the Eltrite mine…. Ah. Birthday. I’ll have to check the guest list too. I don’t want to see my sisters and brothers. They’re the ones who hate me anyway…. It’s all annoying I’m tired….’

“… Miss!”

Someone urgently called her.

Her voice is muffled and distant.

Elijah opened her eyes slowly.

Her eyes trembled slightly.

For some reason, I could see the ceiling of the stable.

And Judas looking down on himself.

My body hurts from touching his hand. It’s a bruised spot.

Are you holding yourself now?

I frowned because of the pain.

“How dare you put your hand on a young lady!”

Leah shouted like her thunderbolt.

Judas shrugged his shoulders and backed off.

Elijah then realized that she had passed out on her wooden pedestal.

She also said that Judas caught and held her as she fell.

“… Sorry.”

Judah took a step back and bowed his head.

“Lady Elijah… !”

“Noisy.”

Elijah touched her forehead and waved her hand.

Her Lia, who was supporting her, stiffened her body.

“Be quiet. Because your head hurts.”

Her blood flowed from Elijah’s nose.

“Sorry, lady….”

Leah calmed down as if she hadn’t raised her voice, so she had Elijah wipe the bleeding from her nose.

Elijah received the touch and spoke in her noseless voice.

“Judas.”

“Yes. Miss.”

“Raise your head.”

Judas raised her head.

Shaggy black hair.

Golden eyes.

Impression like a ferocious wild animal.

A wonderful and mysterious boy who does not hide his hostility even in front of himself.

That child was making a face he had never seen before.

Finely wrinkled eyebrows.

Uncomfortably tight lips.

The eyes looking straight ahead were neither arrogant nor aggressive.

It was the first expression I saw in my life.

As Elijah was interpreting it, she forgot her words for a moment.

No, I don’t think it’s the first time.

Once upon a time, there was definitely her mother who looked at her with a face similar to this one.

In the end, she couldn’t read the emotion on his face.

Even Judas himself did not recognize that it was ‘concern’.

“Thank you.”

Elijah grinned.

Judah now realized that he was worried about Elijah.

“… I just did what I had to do.”

What to do.

Inescapable instinct.

It was also an excuse for myself.

The child collapsed in front of my eyes, but I couldn’t let it go.

It wasn’t just a fall.

I lost consciousness and nearly fell off the platform.

If you hit your head hard on the floor, you might die.

That’s why I just blocked it.

“Ria.”

“Yes, lady.”

“I apologize.”

Without saying a word, Lia lowered her waist so Judas could see the crown of her head.

“I apologize for yelling at the benefactor who helped the lady. Sorry. She was agitated for a moment and couldn’t make a rational decision. I was frivolous. I am really sorry.”

It was an overly upright apology, so Judas was taken aback.

It wasn’t just an apology, either.

Lea’s voice trembled subtly.

Judas felt that she was truly guilty.

Above all, this is the way of thinking here.

It was a felony for a lowly citizen to touch a noble like Elijah.

Judah was also accepting such differences little by little.

“No, what…. No. It’s okay.”

Even then, Lia didn’t raise her head right away.

Looking at the top of her head awkwardly, Judas noticed a strange thing.

Lea’s hair is red.

However, the roots of her hair, as seen now, were black.

‘… Dyeing?’

Someone came to the stable just in time.

I was a member of parliament.

She looked at Elijah and opened her eyes wide.

“Lady?! What are you doing!”

Seeing her hurriedly approaching, Elijah waved her hand.

“I was dizzy for a while. Rather, what happened?”

“But first the lady….”

“Start with business.”

The senator nodded her head countless times.

“Yellow umbrella mushrooms are not poisonous by contact. Even if you touch it with confidence, it is harmless to your health.”

“Hmm. Okay….”

Elijah lowered his gaze.

Her sack of yellow umbrella mushrooms was below.

Judas let out her cheers inwardly.

‘I can get out of here earlier than planned.’

She didn’t bother expressing it out of her mouth.

I waited quietly for Elijah to tell me to get out of here.

It was a burdensome and uncomfortable place for him.

He thought Elijah would not like it either.

Elijah, who was looking at her sack, saw her Judas and opened her mouth.

Of course, I thought it was to get out, so Yuda replied that she would know right away.

“Don’t go.”

“Okay.”

I shouldn’t have done that.

“… Yes, yes?”

I belatedly asked, but it was already too late.

Elijah looked at Judas and asked.

“Did you like this place so much?”

“Oh, no. That is….”

“Didn’t you like it?”

“I don’t mean that. Good enough to be overdone… It’s a place….”

Judas was so embarrassed that her words didn’t come out.

She told me not to go, as well as herself who answered that she knew without thinking.

This is absurd.

Miguel, Leah, Bradley, and even the congressmen around.

She looks down at Judas as if looking at something bizarre.

It was the gaze of the shameless lowly people who wanted to live in the mansion of an aristocrat.

I couldn’t think of the right words at all, so Judas had no choice but to ask in a simple and stupid way.

“Why… ?”

That was a cheeky question.

It is a world that nobility wants to do.

Elijah and Judah have a semi-master-servant relationship.

As if Elijah didn’t care, she calmly explained the reason.

After hearing her words, Judas had to doubt her own ears several times today.
