The Knight Wants To Be in a Relationship

7. I don’t remember

***

“I’m sorry!”

“Oh, no. No. Because we were so rough…….”

“Next time, we will be careful too. Enough…….”

The two men, who had passed out, opened their eyes and quickly left the dormitory, carefully caressing the red, swollen areas.

They were grateful people. I was hit and passed out without even realizing it, but in reverse, I handed over an apology? If I had been through the same thing, I would never have endured it.

I burst into admiration as I watched her grown-up figure, then I belatedly recalled her snowy home and immediately looked back at her.

“Seolhyang-san, I’m sorry too. I knew something was going to happen to those two…….”

“No, it’s okay. You’re trying to protect me, aren’t you?”

“But… ….”

“Evan, aren’t men who dwell on the past popular?”

“─I will pay more attention in the future!”

After hearing Seolhyang’s words, I decided to forget everything that had just happened. I apologized, and the victims accepted the apology, so there was no problem.

What’s so funny about me, Seolhyang, who saw me like that, started to burst into laughter. Seeing her smile, I also let out a laugh at her hahahaha.

“Oh, that’s right- Mr. Evan. I have good news for you.”

“What is it?”

“The person I was looking for is said to be in this city.”

“Ah… ….”

She was good news for her, but she was bad news for me. If Seolhyang finds the man she was looking for, then my mission is over. Because she and I had to part here.

She was full of regret, but she didn’t want to appear to her as someone who was obsessed with her. I opened my mouth full of bravado.

“Seolhyang, what is the name of the person you are looking for?”

“A guy named Cyrus.”

“Cyrus…… Please wait for a moment! I’ll be back soon!”

Hearing the name of the old man, I immediately left the inn and ran to the guild. I ignored Seolhyang’s call from behind to stop me for a moment.

If you turn your back now, I’ll show you an ugly teary face.

The pain of a first broken heart was so great…….

***

I ran to the guild and asked for information about Cyrus. The guild staff, who looked at me with a sullen expression, burst into laughter when they heard what information I had requested.

“Cyrus? You want to know where he is?”

“Yes!”

“Another suicide attempt came out…”

The guild staff secretly looked at the sword hanging from my waist and murmured. Then, before asking what the hell that meant, he handed me a map showing the location.

After receiving the map and being kicked out of the guild, I was taken aback for a moment, but I immediately returned to my inn, delighted that I had achieved my goal.

Seolhyang, who had been quietly waiting for me at the dorm, heard my footsteps and immediately opened her mouth.

“Evan?”

“Seolhyang, I’m here! Where is that Cyrus or something!”

“Seriously, what if you didn’t listen to me and ran out so suddenly? What if I wanted to go to the bathroom?”

“Uh… Do you want to go to the bathroom?”

“……Just tell me the location.”

I guided Seolhyang to the bathroom. They said they had good hearing, but they couldn’t figure out the location of the toilet.

After taking her to her bathroom, I went out to her and waited for her to finish her chores.

‘What did that mean?’

Another suicide attempter has come. What does this mean? Does that mean Cyrus is a heinous criminal who kills people?

If so, what are guilds and guards doing? Without apprehending such a heinous criminal as rumors circulated.

Perhaps there is some kind of political problem- While I was constantly thinking about it, Seolhyang came back to me after finishing her errands.

“Come on, let’s go.”

“Did you wash your hands?”

“Would you like to smell it?”

“…No, that’s fine.”

I headed to the place drawn on the map I received from the guild, taking Seolhyang, who reached out her hand and said something that I didn’t know if it was a joke or not.

It was my first visit to the city, but I didn’t have to get lost in the road because the map was so good.

“Uh… I think it’s here.”

I stopped in front of a huge mansion that would have been inhabited by an aristocrat, and looked at the map and the surrounding buildings to see if this was the right place.

If Seolhyang had come to meet a man who lived in a place like this, it seemed that she would not be able to overcome it.

‘The man who wants to meet is an aristocrat…… Is it? Then what is Seolhyang’s relationship with the nobles? By any chance, are you pregnant?’

Looking at Seolhyang’s belly, she noticed that it wasn’t as swollen as it was when Evan first met her.

No, just in case. There is also the possibility that she left her child at home and came to visit her alone like this…….

“Evan?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Are you there?”

“Yeah… According to the map, this is the right place…”

“Call someone. I need to go inside.”

As I called out through the huge iron gate, a servant rushed out to meet me from inside the house.

“Oh, you’ve waited so long. Why did you come…?”

“My name is Seolhyang. Is this really Sirus’ mansion?”

“Yes. Are you here to see the master?”

“That’s right. I think you’ll understand if I tell you that I’m a lady from the Seol family.”

“Please wait a moment.”

After hearing Seolhyang’s words, the servant quickly ran inside. And in the meantime, I looked at Seolhyang and weakly exclaimed.

“Seolhyang, were you a noble?”

“Not now. There are circumstances.”

“Ejaculation?”

“Women have secrets that no one can tell.”

I watched Seol-hyang shut her mouth as if she didn’t want to say any more, and I shut her mouth tightly at the same time, and a chilly silence separated the two of us.

I was worried that we might not get along like this- The servant who had gone inside quickly ran and opened the door.

“Oh, you’ve waited a long time. Master is waiting.”

Seolhyang silently followed the servant. Unstoppable step. By that alone, no one would notice that she was blind.

Her attendant, in fact, hadn’t noticed that she was blind, and stepped inside her without consideration.

A wide open garden with a terrace. A man was leisurely drinking tea under a table with a parasol spread out.

“—Is that you? Looking for me.”

The man asked the question without even turning his head. After hearing that question, Seolhyang silently looked at the man.

If her eyesight were intact, even a laser would pop out and she would melt the man as it was.

“I apologize for coming here without an appointment. And thank you for letting me in. Mr. Cyrus.”

“You are a well-mannered young lady. Did you say Seol’s family name? I don’t remember hearing it.”

“…… It is a small family in the East that is dying out. You may not know.”

I pulled a chair from the table and made a place for Seolhyang to sit. After she sat down, I quickly took a seat next to her.

Cyrus then turned her head and looked at the two of us.

“I don’t think I ever said it was okay to sit…… Is that a servant?”

“I am an adventurer. You are escorting me for a while.”

“A noble entrusts an adventurer with an escort… ….”

Hmm- Cyrus spit out a salivation and belatedly began examining Seolhyang’s face. Every time his eyes captured Seolhyang’s image, I clenched my fist under the table and shook it.

If you listen to the conversation between the two, it doesn’t seem like they knew each other. Where are you going?

After looking over Seolhyang’s face for a while, Cyrus removed her gaze from her face and leisurely lifted the teacup.

“So what did the Seol family lady ask to see me for?”

“I just want to familiarize myself with it.”

“I see. I’m welcome to be with such a beautiful lady.”

Hearing that, I looked at Seolhyang in amazement. I thought he was going to forget his old man and start a new life with himself, but he wasn’t?

“Marriage is…….”

“Oh, I have a wife and children. Running around there…….”

“Family composition is everything…… ?”

“The attendant you saw earlier is like my family. Ahahahaha-.”

I thought that the woman was being taken away by a noble like this, and I looked around while listening to the conversation between the two in one ear.

In the distance, his children, Cyrus said, were frolicking in the garden. Quite a number. Five. They all look the same age.

There were a few peculiarities, but the children were running around too freely to be called noble children. Her hair was greasy, and her nails and face were full of grime.

‘That kind of look is usually seen in commoners.’

The moment she thought she was raising a child unusually for an aristocrat, Seolhyang carefully stood up. I was looking elsewhere, but I quickly got up.

“Today was fun. Sir Cyrus. I hope to see you again next time.”

“A visit from a beautiful lady is always welcome. Oh, maybe my wife won’t welcome it. Ha ha ha.”

“Enough then.”

After the boring gag, Seolhyang immediately left her mansion. I clung to her side and started talking behind Cyrus.

“I have a wife, but to welcome a young lady…… It’s a complete flirt.”

“… ….”

“Seeing that there are also three children, he must be a very revealing pervert—.”

“Could you please be quiet for a bit?”

“…… Yes. Sorry.”

Seolhyang didn’t say a single word after that. An ominous silence stood between the two of us like a clogged toilet until she returned to her quarters.

It was around the time she reached her room that she opened her mouth.

“Evan.”

“That, Mr. Seolhyang. I was wrong about that earlier…….”

“That’s all right. I have a few more things to ask of you.”

“—Yes! Just say anything!”

“Can you arrange a carriage back to the city tomorrow?”

Seolhyang held out her money bag while saying that. I don’t know what she said. In a daze, she looked down at her hands.

It wasn’t until I shrugged her hand, as if I was doing something, that I realized that she didn’t really care about Cyrus – she was going back to her city.

“I will do it soon!”

“The time is quite late, so it will take a long time. Since we have to leave tomorrow, not many people will say that. It’s okay to be late, so please find someone safe. Oh, and you’ll also need some supplies to use on your way back. Would you like to prepare that too?”

Evening when the sun goes down. Twilight time. It was too late to prepare now. It may be impossible even if you sell your feet all night.

But instead of venting my displeasure or saying no or difficult, I just nodded my head.

“Just trust me.”

Then I immediately left the room.

I don’t need to say no to her when she wants to go back with me.

I wanted to get out of this city as soon as possible—from that damned aristocratic thug.

* * *

The sound of urgent footsteps resounds. After the footsteps were so far away that she couldn’t hear them, Seolhyang slowly got up.

‘He left.’

She was well aware of the fact that from now on the wagons and supplies to return to the city tomorrow would not be available. That was the purpose

Evan wandering around the city all day today and making sure she can’t meddle in what she’s doing.

‘I brought it to see if I could use it…… I can’t use it.’

Evan is young and innocent. Even though she has a crush on her, she is suspiciously friendly, but if he finds out what she is trying to do, he will sabotage her.

Now that the long-cherished wish of a lifetime is approaching, I couldn’t let it get in the way.

‘Then, let’s go.’

She took a black suit out of her luggage and put it on. A set of clothes dyed black all over.

Seolhyang, who changed her clothes without anyone’s help as if she could see her eyes, tied her hair back and threw herself through the window. Her agile body tramples her window frame and soars into the sky.

While going back and forth to Cyrus’ mansion, the location of the buildings and landmarks along the way had already been figured out. Having spent her entire life training like this, she was able to do such superhuman things without incident.

She stepped on the roof and the roof and arrived in her mansion without incident. Seolhyang made no sound and walked lightly into her mansion.

“—Who are you!?”

However, was it unlucky or did he have some hidden skills befitting a guard at a mansion like this——I ended up running into an attendant who had met the two of them in the morning.

Seolhyang listened to the fear-filled voice from far away and silently drew the dagger.

“Avengers.”
