Love Letter From The Future chapter 219

4. Rynella’s fate is decided by Rynella (12)

The knight’s body, which ran with a bang, flew at the same speed as a silver bullet. Before the bell rings, it’s already close.

The fist he swung was tearing through the air.

But it was not enough.

I gently laid my upper body back. My hands began to entwine around the back of the fist that had just barely passed in front of me.

At most, it was just time to say ah.

But that one word soon became his last defiance.

With a thump, the knight’s body, loaded with full force, could not bear the shock and bounced up.

The knight’s bulging eyes testified to the pain. Without even letting out a proper scream, he vomited a handful of blood.

Then two knights rushed at me.

It seemed that he had finally realized that he could not stand against me unarmed. They attempted to subdue me with scabbard knives.

However, melee combat using weapons was my specialty.

My scabbard, like a thunderbolt, came in between the two crossed swords. It was like a stone between gears, blocking an elaborate joint attack.

While they panicked, I pulled the blade out of the scabbard.

The prosecutor with the real sword in front of him was bound to be more nervous.

The eyes of the knights who judged that an instant response was impossible were wet with fear. If I swung my sword right away, I could slit their throats.

Of course I couldn’t have done that.

Taking advantage of their panic, I kicked my scabbard between the crossed scabbards.

The swords of the two knights were struck together. Taking advantage of their panic, I thrust the blunt end of the handle into one of the knights’ necks.

The handle of the sword, which I had locked myself in, replaced my physical strength with shock.

The focus of the knight who had been hit by the blows shook sharply, and soon his model began to collapse.

“This, this bastard!”

With a scream like that, the last remaining knight lowered his sword.

What he overlooked was the fact that I had a sword in my hand as well.

I wasn’t a friendly opponent enough to quietly take that blow.

Kang, the blade and the scabbard collided, sending sparks into the air. Around that time, my scabbard, which was spinning in the sky, began to fall.

My hand grabbed the sheath.

When the sword flew again, I cut the sheath with the real sword again. Then, as if spinning, he burrowed into his arms and swung the scabbard.

With a dull blow, the scabbard plunged into the man’s temple.

It didn’t take long for him to collapse.

The sound of the two knights collapsing in quick succession tickled my ears. My skills were beyond my imagination, the eyes of the knights who were sitting down were wide open.

Of course you wouldn’t know.

Only Mitram knew that I had reached the rank of expert.

And that Dark Priest had no news about the current decline.

There was no way my skills were known.

I was able to easily subdue the knights by taking advantage of their surprise.

“Muh, what kind of academy 3rd year… … .”

Leaving behind the questions I’ve been hearing a lot lately, I took a step forward.

No one stood in the way between Elsie-senpai and me anymore.

At most, only one knight who missed my shoulder came to his senses belatedly.

“This is dishonorable, Prince Percus!”

After hearing that, I stroked the head of Elsie, who was looking up at me with watery eyes.

It was a reward given after a long time.

“Are you okay, Elsie-senpai?”

“… … Awesome!”

Elsie-senpai cried, and couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.

A drop of tear flowed down again. She squeezed her hat on tightly and squeezed her hand as if squeezing the brim.

Was it that he didn’t want to get engaged?

The opponent was a young boy from a prestigious family with a bright future, but Elsie’s taste was also unique.

I stopped laughing.

“Boo, sure… Ugh, de, date… Heck, I don’t want to do it… … .”

“It was a joke, of course.”

Of course, I wasn’t kidding then, but my bubbly mouth didn’t tell the truth.

On the contrary, he even conveyed the sincerity he had been hiding.

“Why don’t you want to go on a date with senior Elsie? You came dressed so nicely.”

When I said that with a wry smile, Elsie-senpai eventually burst into tears.

It seemed that his heart was hurt that much.

That’s why the woman mustered up the courage to propose, but it was understandable after hearing such a heartless refusal.

Because Elsie-senpai was also a woman.

The image of Elsie sunbaenim shedding tears was especially lovely. I smiled lightly and comforted her.

Who the hell is that garbage that made this cute girl cry?

Tsk tsk inwardly, I turned my head. There was still one knight who raised his voice.

“I will formally protest against the Percus family! How can someone who has nothing to do with the event of the Rainella family… … .”

“It is related.”

However, that cry was immediately subdued by my nonchalant answer.

The knight looked at me with stupid eyes.

‘Is it related, you?’

It was a gaze that felt such a question blatantly, so I gently hugged Elsie-senpai’s shoulders with a wry smile.

While Elsie-senpai said uh-uh, her head ended up in my arms.

“… … Senior Elsie and I are a ‘special relationship’.”

It was really just a number of desperate measures.

Across empires and kingdoms, there was an unwritten rule among noble families.

‘Never interfere with someone else’s family.’

This is a rule with a very long tradition, so it was hard to ignore.

But now, despite that tacit rule, I was blocking Elsie-senpai’s wedding.

It was not possible to secure a cause to justify this in the usual way.

Then, in the end, there was a limit to the means that could be squeezed out. Inevitably, I also had no choice but to endure the sacrifice.

What I sacrificed was the ‘truth’.

“T, special relationship… … ?”

The knight’s voice trembled in disbelief.

Suddenly, his complexion turned pale. He sent a desperate glance at Elsie.

It was the eyes filled with a wish to deny it.

The conditions for engagement offered by aristocratic families usually included the duty of chastity.

If a lover existed, additional coordination was essential. If so, there was only one thing that I couldn’t take Elsie-senpai with me right now.

What I said in the first place was a lie. There was no way that the Rainella family had known senior Elsie’s ‘lover’ in advance.

Soon the joys began to diverge.

Unlike the despairing knight, the students who were watching the series burst into exclamations and whistles.

The pouring applause represented their feelings.

In particular, some women screamed and caused a small commotion.

Romance stories have traditionally been a topic that is widely popular regardless of gender and age.

What happened today was scheduled to spread throughout the academy soon. It was a pity that many students went back because it was vacation, but it was a success.

The speed at which rumors spread among nobles was beyond imagination.

And the more romantic the love story between me and Elsie-senpai became, the more Countess Rainella couldn’t help but notice.

I can’t afford to be the cold-blooded one who tore two lovers who love each other so much.

But the real problem was the fact that senior Elsie and I were passionately in love.

She was a noble lady who already had a man she truly loved. In common sense, there was no reason for a noble family to pay a high price to bring him.

It was an obvious miscalculation.

Countess Rainella would have to rack her brains for a while to get a new marriage story. Of course, even then, it was unclear whether he would be able to obtain a satisfactory marriage.

However, one thing that bothers me right now is senior Elsie.

The difficulty that Countess Rainella would face was also the problem that senior Elsie would soon face.

Even if Elsie-senpai later finds someone she loves, today’s events might hold her back forever.

It would be best if we could explain the situation and clear up the misunderstanding.

In the end, Carl had no choice but to go over to senior Elsie.

Everyone was paying attention to Elsie-senpai’s mouth. Only the feelings they had in each of those eyes were different, but they were the same as the fact that they were anxiously waiting for Elsie’s answer.

even me.

Please, senior Elsie. Please pay attention.

However, Elsie-senpai, who was suddenly held in my arms, was frozen as if time had stopped.

After waiting a while longer, Elsie started to respond.

Her face gradually turned red, and then, with a bang, it turned so red that it gave the illusion that smoke was exploding.

Elsie-senpai stuttered and began to make incomprehensible noises.

“My, my, me?!

It was a muttering that I could feel the fact that Elsie-senpai was insane just by listening to it.

The corners of my lips, which had been showing a confident smile, were quivering.

I’ve already been humiliated, but the plan won’t go awry at the end, right?

As if responding to my earnest heart, Elsie immediately exclaimed.

“……Ah, ah! No, that’s right!”

You noticed in the end, Elsie-senpai.

I was moved and almost shed tears. Elsie-senpai immediately put on a triumphant expression in my arms and said to the Rinella family knight.

“Yes, ‘special relationship’.”

The knight, unable to bear the miserable reality, fell to his knees.

There was a deep despair in his eyes as he blankly looked down at the ground.

On the other hand, the onlookers gathered in front of the dormitory were responding with even louder cheers. A bitter smile appeared on my lips.

Yes, it was inevitable in order to protect Elsie-senpai.

Thinking so, I was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

“I, I… I have Ian as my master!”

At that proud declaration, silence fell for a moment.

The knight, who was looking down at the ground in despair, lifted his head. In his eyes, there was an emotion beyond shock and fear.

It was disbelief.

It was the same for onlookers.

Dozens of pairs of eyes widened. It was a remark beyond imagination.

In the past, Elsie-senpai had called me ‘Master’, but at that time, I immediately ran away with Elsie-senpai, so rumors didn’t spread.

It was because, thinking that senior Elsie couldn’t be like that, everyone dismissed them as having heard nonsensical hallucinations.

But now things were different.

Everyone’s attention was focused, and in front of them, senior Elsie proudly declared.

The fact that Ian Perkus is Elsie Rainella’s master.

Even I, with my eyes wide open, only repeated opening and closing my lips.

My hair went white.

When Elsie couldn’t open her mouth, she couldn’t help but wonder if she had done something wrong.

She was flustered and soon, awkwardly banged her head on my chest as if to prove what she was saying.

And one more word.

“……Woof woof?”

finished.

My hand ran over my skin, and Elsie-senpai’s declaration was about to spread far and wide.

And that prediction was soon proven.

It was because the incident of the day entered the ears of the saintess who visited next.
