Chapter 50 – He was here.
Chapter 50
The banquet continued even after the regular report was over. She said that the food looked delicious, and when Abel asked to go eat it, Estelle replied that she intended to rest for a day or so.
Abel excitedly scooped up her food, and Estelle smiled and giggled at how cute Abel was.
“Abel.”
Elfriede approached Abel who was with Estelle. Estelle looked at her and thought.
‘Why does this woman keep approaching our hero from the last time…’
Estelle spontaneously narrowed her eyes and looked at her Elfriede. This time she wants to say something again.
Abel put down her cutlery and asked Elfride.
“Elfriede, what’s going on?”
“You did a great job this time.”
“Ah, it’s all thanks to our saintess.”
Seeing her take credit for herself, Estelle was delighted inwardly.
‘Oh my~ & our warrior, take care of me too… Isn’t it so cute&’
Elfriede thought that Abel’s words were also the result of his good heart.
Actually, Abel’s words were close to the truth, but even Elfriede didn’t know that Estelle was a ‘real saint’.
“In that sense, I prepared something.”
“Yes?”
“As a senior, I have no choice but to give a gift to a junior warrior who works hard.”
Elfriede pulled out something of hers from her bosom. She was something wrapped in a fine gin wrapper. Elfriede handed it to Abel.
“Are you giving it to me?”
“Yes, open it.”
Abel cautiously opened the gift Elfriede had given him. And what she came out of was a thin, beautiful necklace.
“A necklace?”
“A necklace that bestows a weak protection on you. About once a day, it has the effect of protecting against fatal attacks.”
“…Ohhh.”
Abel thought he was like a game item. Estelle saw that and said something.
“…It is the sacred object of Goddess Lunaria.”
“That’s right, Saint Estelle seems to recognize you.”
The necklace that Elfriede handed over to Abel was a sacred object containing the power of the goddess Lunaria. Abel was surprised to hear that, and she asked.
“Can you give me something so precious?”
“It’s not that valuable. Don’t be afraid to use it.”
“Ah…Thank you, Elfriede. I will write really well.”
Abel was a favorite of hers. She looked at his expression and she thought that Elfride was a good gift for her, too. Elfriede asked Abel quietly.
“Abel, can you give me a minute? I have something to tell you.”
“Oh, yes. Saintess, Celine, I’ll be back for a while.”
Elfriede lightly greeted Estelle and Celine and took Abel to a place a little further away. Seeing this, Celine asked Estelle.
“Were you originally close with Hero Elfriede? He gives you all presents.”
“…We’ve gotten pretty close since we last met in Habsburg City.”
“Are you going to send it that way?”
“…Heroes say they’re going to talk about something, but I can’t intervene.”
Estelle said that on the outside, but on the inside she was venting her anger.
From noble mtl dot com.
‘What is she like and she takes our hero as she pleases!!!’
Celine shook her head at the sight of Estelle spitting her nose with excitement alone.
“…It’s frustrating.”
Meanwhile, Abel, who followed her Elfride, asked her.
“What are you talking about?”
“Ah…After the banquet.”
“Yes.”
Elfride tried to talk her out of drinking her drink. But for some reason, the words didn’t come out of her throat.
‘…What is it?’
In the past, when I bought Levius a drink, these words came naturally. But she had a hard time getting her words out to Abel.
It’s the same thing, but what’s so different about it? Elfriede was perplexed.
“Elfriede?”
“Ah, um…That, Abel.”
It was clearly a simple statement. She wants to drink and all she needs to say is one word… Elfriede didn’t come easily with those words.
In the end, she turned around a bit.
“Do you drink well?”
“Alcohol? Yes i like you!”
Abel’s eyes lit up at the word alcohol. Elfriede was a little taken aback by her reaction more intense than she thought, but she had a reason for Abel doing this.
She was Abel, who hadn’t had a single drink of her own since the beer she drank after defeating the ogre. Partly she said that Estelle had to keep her body in shape and that she had better refrain from drinking as much as possible, and partly because she didn’t have time to drink.
“Oh, is that so? You like to drink too. Then Abel, by any chance, I’ll buy you a drink after the banquet, so would you like to come with me?”
“That’s great! He gave me a gift though, but I’m the one with the alcohol…”
“No, I will buy it. She should know how to give that much to her junior warriors. On the contrary, if I drink from you, I lose my face.”
Abel listened to Elfride’s words and nodded her head.
“Then I will tell the saintess and come back.”
“… Huh?”
Elfride was embarrassed by Abel’s behavior that she would report to Estelle, and she tried to stop him.
“Abel, wait…!”
“Saint, can we go out for drinks after Elfrie and her banquet?”
Before she knew it, she was Abel, who had already started reporting to Estelle. Abel went silent to Estelle, and she did it again because she was worried about her pout, but she ended up in an awkward situation for Elfriede.
After hearing Abel’s story, Estelle squinted her eyes and began to look at Elfriede. She excused Elfride, who was a little taken aback by her gaze.
“Everything, there is no other meaning. I just wanted to buy you a drink as a sign of encouragement and celebration.”
“Huh…”
However, it was Estelle who kept her suspicious eye. But then, Abel, who was next to her, said to Estelle.
“Saintess, can I come back?”
“…Yes?”
“I want to drink that beer…”
Abel looked a bit sullen. Seeing that expression, Estelle spontaneously raised the corners of her mouth.
‘What, what…So cute&’
Abel didn’t mean it, but she was a weapon that worked perfectly for Estelle because of his appearance and expression.
“I haven’t had a sip of alcohol in a while…can’t I?”
“Ahhh…”
Estelle felt that she was unreasonable. She couldn’t bear to say no to Abel. She would rather go, she would have stopped if she had been stubborn….
“…Ah, okay. Bye. Instead, don’t eat too much.”
“Oh, thank you!”
In the end, only Abel allowed Estelle, who had a low guard. After Estelle’s permission was granted, Elfriede was also relieved.
“…Heo Cheop was here.”
It was Celine who evaluated Estelle briefly.
“…They play well.”
The red-haired man, Levius, who was watching Abel and Elfriede’s party grew irritated. Originally, the person who should have been talking to Elfriede was Levius himself, but some commoner took his place. On top of that, the fact that even the saintess he used to go with was with him made him even more angry.
Levius put down his wine glass roughly. The sound of glasses hitting the table startled Natalie and Sonia.
“…Levius, what’s wrong?”
“I must take care of it after the banquet.”
“Huh?…Are you talking about the hero of Abel?”
Levius rose wildly from his seat and said to Natalie.
“Natalie, I will be out first so let me know when that son of a b*tch comes out.”
“Uh…Yes, okay.”
As Levius left the banquet hall, Estelle looked behind Levius. Estelle, who saw that Levius’ colleagues did not follow suit, said to Abel.
“Hero, I have a place to go for a while, so I’ll go.”
“Yes? Where are you going all of a sudden?”
“I know someone for a while. Don’t worry about the hero and have fun with hero Elfriede. You can’t drink too much and be silent like an ogre~♡”
“…Isn’t it.”
Estelle handed Elfriede her formal greeting and left the banquet hall.
#
Levius left the banquet hall. He deliberately did not return to his lodgings right away. Levius, who was wasting his time walking around the palace, suddenly turned around.
“What is it? Why do you keep following me?”
“You must have known this before, but I was waiting for you to talk to me~♡”
Estel was the woman who had been following him ever since he left the banquet hall. She had no intention of hiding the fact that she was following Levius around in the first place. She even walked around making footsteps.
Levius wondered why. He doesn’t follow secretly, but what is the reason for following him very confidently.
“Do you have any business with me?”
“Yes, I do.”
Levius took a close look at Estelle’s expression. However, I couldn’t figure out what the intention was hiding in that gentle expression.
Even though he deliberately lured them to a secluded place, he steadily followed them. Doesn’t that mean you want to tell yourself something secret?
Thought so, Levius pointed it out and said.
“Ah, did you do it because you wanted to go out with me?”
“…?”
Estelle tilted her head, but Levius, who couldn’t see her small movements because it was night, interpreted her silence as positive.
“I understand. It must be pretty exhausting to be around that useless commoner warrior. Celine, who went to his side without knowing that…Isn’t she a fool?”
Levius was speaking with a nuance as if he were a big man. A cold voice came out of Estelle’s mouth when she heard the story.
“…I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding.”
“Yes?”
“I just came because I wanted to apologize for the absurd remarks that Hero Levius made to our hero and Saint Celine.”
Estel was dumbfounded. On the subject that she couldn’t keep up with Abel’s charms, she thought to herself that she wanted to follow him. He was a man who didn’t know much about himself.
Realizing that he was mistaken, Levius trembled slightly in his shame.
“…Is there any reason why I should apologize to him?”
“…Then, isn’t there?”
“Why should I, the eldest son of the aristocratic Grospel family, have to apologize to commoners!”
“……Ah, is that so?”
At that moment, Levius felt goosebumps all over his body. Because Estelle’s gaze changed in an instant. Even at his previous regular briefing session, he felt the same chilly spirit that he felt at least a little bit.
‘…I don’t understand.’
His sense of self, his skilled warrior, was speaking. That woman is dangerous Levius couldn’t understand why he felt this way for a mere saint.
“Do you really have no intention of apologizing, Champion Levius?”
“…As I said before, do I have any reason to apologize to the common people?”
“If you don’t apologize, I will make you apologize on your knees.”
Estel gave a final warning. If you don’t apologize yourself, you won’t go over well. But Levius was a man with a very strong ego. Even though his senses told him he was in danger, Levius shouted.
“Ha, if you can, try it! With what kind of confidence do you say that on a fake subject…”
《 Sacred Arm 》
With a thump, Levius’ knees touched the floor. It took Levius a while to figure out what the situation was. Suddenly, a huge force was pressing down on him. Levius tried to force himself up, but even that was impossible.
Levius, a 5-year-old hero, couldn’t even react even though this much s*xual skill was activated. Recognizing this fact, Levius was dumbfounded.
Estel quietly whispered to Levius, who couldn’t get up from his seat, crushed by the enormous divine power.
“If you feel like apologizing, come to our room tomorrow morning. If you don’t come… I might be a little angry.”
Estelle gave her final warning with a grin.
“Did you know?”
Bruh why she is so strong?
