135 – The Red Lion
After Sonia calmed down to a certain extent, and the alter ego also subsided a bit, I brought her into the dorm.
“Porter. Let’s talk.”
Unable to hide her uncomfortable expression, Talia glared at her with her arms crossed.
“My knight? What do you mean? Why is that b*tch your knight?”
“Talia, I’m sorry, but I have something to tell you first…”
“What I’ve done so far is enough!”
In the end, I couldn’t stand it and showed my personality.
Yes. It’s okay to endure this far.
At the time I thought there was nothing special.
“I heard you have something to say. Talk to you later.”
Sonia stepped forward and stopped Talia.
“Hey, country boy. Our porter got cursed at because of you. Are you saying that now?”
“Our porter? Ha, I’m dumbfounded. Why do you pretend he’s yours?”
“What, what?”
Talia is taken aback by Sonia’s proud attitude.
“He doesn’t belong to anyone. Especially you.”
And then she added so that only Thalia could hear.
-Gum suck.
When her switch was pressed, Talia reacted furiously.
“Don’t be ridiculous! Responsibility is what responsibility! I didn’t go that far!”
“Really?”
Sonia, who was looking at Talia in front of her, as if she couldn’t even compete with her, turned to me and said,
“Tell me what happened last night.”
Tell me? This? Here?
Six pairs of eyes turned to me.
“Hey, I wonder if that’s the case…”
“I’m fine.”
“Isn’t it…?”
As many eyes were entangled with various emotions, he said in desperation.
“Hero, please take out the holy sword.”
I don’t know. Let’s all die together.

“…That’s how it happened.”
The party members suddenly became speechless when the judge revealed the whole story of the case in front of them with both eyes open.
The atmosphere became a bit bloody when they brought up the topic of an affair, but what kind of shyness can they say when there is something they drove?
Even Chloe, who was the only one not present, listened with a nervous expression on her face.
“Whew. Thank goodness.”
‘Are you happy? You can’t….’
Is she also keeping an eye on Sonia, whom she has just met? This naughty cat Even in this situation, you can see the angle of Bibil.
Sure.
A little bit worried.
I pulled Sonia toward me.
She approached me too much compared to that kind of touch, and she sat down on her lap and hugged me.
You have no intention of hiding any more, do you?
Talia and Reina stare blankly at us like hamsters deprived of food. In addition to that, the warrior.
‘By the way. The saintess doesn’t faint this time.’
Although her complexion is a little too red, the saintess who thought she would be lying on the ground by now is just bowing her head with her hands between her thighs, and she is in good condition. Showed.
Did she develop resistance to fainting?
Her conscience felt remorse because she had unintentionally corrupted her innocence.
“I-I have business at the imperial palace…!”
Then she hurriedly got up and went outside.
Has something happened to the imperial palace?
Originally, it was an empire that was going downhill after the death of the crown prince, so nothing particularly came to mind in the current situation.
If it was something serious, I would have called other than the saintess.
‘By the way….’
“Sonia.”
“Why. Do you want to stay like this for a while?”
A voice that comes right next to your ear.
She was holding me by the neck and showing off her affection.
What do I like about this?
Still, one thing. I asked because there was something I was worried about earlier.
“Looking at you wearing that, it looks like you’re on your way to work. Aren’t you late?”
Flinch.
I didn’t miss the trembling movement until I finished my words.
You’re late.
“I’m going to say I’m sick and take a break today…”
Seeing that you are resting, it must be very late.
“…Go back now.”
I heard a voice with a strong sense of defeat from somewhere and turned the whale around.
Softly.
Thalia was clenching her dainty fists.
“What do you care about when others say they’re taking a break?”
Sonia answers in a completely different voice than when she was talking to me.
“What are you taking a break for? I have to go to work.”
Then I saw an expression asking how could you do that.
But this time I agree with Talia’s opinion.
If you miss a day or two at college just because you got a girlfriend, it’s easy to lose your grades and end up in the eyes of professors.
“What should I do…”
“Then let’s do this.”
***
Knight headquarters training center.
There, the Herald, who had returned from dispatch, was calling attendance in front of the female knights instead of the viola.
From noble mtl dot com
“Bianca.”
“Yes!”
“Keep your answers short, Sonia.”
However, the answer that always came back did not come back.
“Sonia?”
“Instructor, Sonia hasn’t come to work yet.”
“…What?”
Herald’s eyes through the glasses narrowed.
‘What happened to the girl who usually goes to school early….’
Still, one shouldn’t interfere with the education of the rest of the knights.
Skipping Sonia and finishing her attendance, the Herald opens her mouth.
“It was a lot of work going back and forth, but the patrol team that was guarding the capital while we were out will be replaced soon.”
Patrol team.
At those words, the knights’ eyes sparkled.
Because I have no choice but to prefer patrols, which are relatively spacious servicemen, traveling around the imperial capital, rather than dispatching people who go through all the hardships outside.
Policy is maintained just by passing there, and it is a dream position that everyone wants because it allows them to act freely without leaving the workplace.
They had no choice but to keep their honor and be loyal to the Empire.
“Until then, in preparation for various situations, study how to respond to the needs of the people and work hard on physical training. Do you have any objections?”
– No!
“Then, physical training in the morning…”
“Sorry for the delay, Instructor!”
Sonia cuts off Herald’s words and runs into the training ground in a huff.
The Herald pondered for a moment.
The youngest member of the Order of the Knights who is currently showing the fastest growth and standing out.
But there shouldn’t be any exceptions just because you’re talented. Already the leader of the knights has been wandering around at will because of his skill.
Such disasters must not be repeated any more.
“Sonia, a knight must be punctual…”
The Herald, emphasizing the knight’s responsibility, soon realized that Sonia was not the only one present.
“…Who’s that guy next to you?”
“Hello.”
A black-haired man greeted me while scratching the back of my head as if I was embarrassed.
“That’s the person I swore an oath to.”
It’s an oath.
It was surprising enough that the knight swore an oath that could only be made with one person in a lifetime, but why did he bring his lord to this place?
While the Herald guesses the reason. Outrageous stories were exchanged between the female knights.
“Is he that scum?”
“Look at the black hair. The appearance is also unusual.”
“Maybe a little cute?”
“I heard that there is a woman I meet every day of the week.”
“It’s like they’ve been waiting for it, and they’re tying their vows together. It’s so romantic…”
What kind of existence am I known in this place?
Sure.
I turned my head and demanded an explanation.
“That’s the case here…”
Seeing Sonia with a troubled expression brought out the sadism she had been holding her breath for so long.
You need to feel how I felt….
“What can I do? Sonia is stuck.”
“Why are you being held captive like that. I’m not that kind of kid.”
“She says she’s a knight, but isn’t that too much?”
… I shouldn’t.
“Sonia.”
In the meantime. The Herald’s voice rang out.
“Yes!”
“I need an explanation of what this situation is.”
“That’s true…”
“It’s too late for me to hold on.”
This time I stepped in for her.
“I called because I had something to say on my way to work, but when I woke up, it was very late. I’m sorry.”
Herald didn’t ask any more questions as he went out with a deep bow.
“Please be careful not to let this happen again in the future. She is your knight, but she is also a member of the Imperial Knights.”
“Okay.”
Then, an argument broke out among the knights.
“Contrary to rumors, it’s better than I thought?”
“You can only do that in front of me and then scold me from behind.”
“To think of her as a lord personally stepping out for her own knight… I want to make an oath with someone like that.”
“Come to your senses. The moment you sign that, you become A and B. Seniors don’t sign an oath for no reason.”
What? Gap and B?
She turned her head to look at her.
“…What.”
I don’t think so.
He thought to himself.
Seeing that only unfair contracts are signed, I can’t go anywhere and sign it.
***
“A little harder…”
“More here?”
“Because I’m fine… Is it soggy?!”
As her moaning leaked out, I could feel her gaze from all over the place.
“Can I not do this…”
“Then you have to get out of here. Keep talking.”
“….”
I was currently pushing her back so that the tips of my fingers could reach her feet.
Some say you need to develop flexibility in using your shield.
“It’s been a while…!”
I want you to at least do something about the sound.
Everyone is staring at us.
After enduring the stares around me, it was time to take a break.
“Aren’t you working separately today?”
Asked, handing her her water.
“Yes. The seniors told me that I will be joining the patrol team soon.”
Are you walking around like the female knights you met back then?
“But can you stay like this with me? Isn’t that what the seniors say later?”
Sonia, who was drinking the water she gave her, opened her mouth and replied shyly.
“It’s just… I like being with you like this…”
What is it? Tickling people.
At the time I thought that she might be a little cute.
“Hey hey! Herald!”
A loud voice filled the training center.
“Haa…”
As soon as the person whose name was called sighed, a man with a huge appearance, sporting a red beard, entered the training room.
-Good morning!
Sonia and the knights she trained immediately stood up and saluted.
“Uh, yes.”
After roughly accepting the best salute, he immediately saw the Herald and moved closer to flick the paper he was holding in his hand.
“I told you not to put this on my desk. I’ve told you several times that I feel sick just looking at the small letters.”
“Looks like you made it to the desk today. It looks nice, so please keep doing that.”
“No, I was chosen to handle this, but what if I don’t do my job?”
“Look closely there. It says Captain’s signature is required.”
“What did I say when I saw the small letters?”
“….”
A man who proudly storms into training and breaks paperwork.
Having such a man as his superior, the expression on Herald’s face was very spectacle.
“Captain. We’re not the only ones here, so please calm down…”
“What? Who else is here besides us?”
Looking around at the Herald’s words, he immediately turned his gaze to me.
“Oh?”
The Red Lion of the Empire.
My face came to mind in the eyes of Gilbert, the commander of the Araknia Knights.
