The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away - Chapter 239



Extra 6. Who approached our Amor? (1)

From the middle school level of the academy, students can choose and complete specialized courses.

Among the various fields, the one Amor chose was ‘Magic Tool Studies’.

Everyone has magical power, but only those with the blood of a wizard can use it for magic.

Even if you are a direct child of a wizard, you cannot use magic if you do not inherit the power.

The ‘magic tool’ is something that allows ordinary people to enjoy magical effects and privileges as if they were magicians.

A tool made with magic that allows you to use magic.

Amor was very interested in magic tools.

First of all, it is because my mother was the strongest great magician in the entire world and throughout history.

Although he was interested in magic since childhood, unfortunately the Emperor’s children did not inherit the blood of wizards.

Instead, Amor chose a magic tool.

Magical tools can also be learned easily if you have talent related to magic.

And fortunately, Amor had that talent.

This is what I heard during my first aptitude test.

“The magical power stored in your body is considerable. And your sensitivity to magical power flowing from the outside is also much higher than average. This puts you in the top 1%… Have you ever noticed it before?”

These were the words of Epona, the head of the Faculty of Magic and a full-time professor.

Magical Instrument Studies was a department within the field of magic.

Former Magic Tower Master. She was the current Vice-Captain of the Imperial Magician’s Corps and also served as a magic professor at the Academy.

“No. I never felt that way.”

“It’s not a field that you can easily access in normal times. It’s a talent that will shine when you learn magic tools. Definitely.”

That’s how Amor came to major in magic tools.

Due to the nature of the subject called Magical Instruments, many students with the blood of magicians also participate in the class.

There, during her first class, Amor met a male student.

He, a third-year middle school student, introduced himself like this.

“I am Alejandro de Cataluna. You may be glad to meet me.”

“… … .”

A raised chin.

An arrogant smiling face.

A voice and tone that is somewhat disquieting and emotional.

‘You don’t know who I am.’

It was a bit arrogant, but Amor knew that he was famous.

She can’t help it, she’s a princess.

However, in other grades, it seemed that the specific identity of the princess was unknown.

‘This is my first time meeting someone like this, so I’m a bit embarrassed… .’

If Elijah were young and in this position, he would despise and repulse me.

But Amor grew up to be a patient and considerate child.

He just smiled and introduced himself.

“I am Amor….”

“Shh. You don’t have to say anything after that. Everyone just fades in front of me.”

‘I didn’t plan on saying that…’

In principle, speaking of ‘s*x’ is prohibited in the Academy.

Because a surname means one’s origin.

That is, all faculty and staff, including students, use only their first names because their identities can be revealed.

But the Ale in front of him… he not only tells the other person his last name, but also warns them not to tell him.

‘Strange… Oh, no. He’s a unique and individualistic person.’

Amor just laughed.

“Oh, yes.”

Why is this person sitting next to me?

I thought the magic tool class would be tiring.

He was also a wizard.

He boasted, sending a small current through the tip of his finger.

“As you can see, I was born with the blood of a great wizard.”

“okay.”

As someone who has a mother who yawns and parted the sea, I had no feelings whatsoever.

Besides, the electricity that bloomed on Ale… or something’s finger didn’t shine as brightly as the fireflies I saw as a child.

‘There’s a wizard in our class who’s better than that…’

He is a friend who mainly manipulates the wind, and has the ability to easily blow a person away.

He’s a little annoying because he keeps asking to be able to say hello to the great wizard Elijah, but he’s still a good boy.

“Haha. You’ve come to respect me? I suppose so. Emperor Elijah, who saved this world, is the pinnacle of magicians. Magicians deserve to be respected by everyone. That’s right.”

This Ale… seemed like a person who liked and respected his mother.

He’s a little unusual, but he doesn’t seem like a bad person.

Amor couldn’t be rude to someone who acknowledged his mother, so he smiled faintly.

“That’s true.”

“… … .”

At that moment, Ale… Amor couldn’t interpret the expression on her face.

*

As Elijah was leaving after his magic class, Alejandro stopped him.

“Amor?”

“yes?”

“I know this is a strange question, but can you answer it?”

“Yes, well… .”

“Don’t you think I’m weird? The way I speak, you know, things like that… .”

Amor almost nodded his head for a moment.

From noble mtl dot come

How scary is sincerity.

Fighting back his reflex, Amor simply shook his head.

“no.”

He wasn’t someone I really wanted to have a long conversation with.

Alejandro blinked blankly, not saying anything.

This was the first time I’d seen someone like this.

Tall but weak.

He was a wizard, but he didn’t even have the talent of a wizard.

As the only son of the Marquis de Catalunya, a fairly prominent family, he lived the life many expected of him.

But he couldn’t do anything right.

My parents weren’t to blame, but that made it even more miserable.

I thought things would be different when I came to the equal academy.

Nothing changed.

He was still an ignorant worm who had nothing but status.

So, I became even more obsessed with it.

All I learned and practiced from a young age was the arrogance that came with status.

Even though I knew that such reckless words and actions were wrong, I had no choice but to do it to hide my pitiful self.

Even at the Academy, Alejandro acted arrogantly in order to escape from his pitiful self.

Even if you were laughed at behind your back, or ostracized, no one would ignore you to your face if you acted like that.

So status was a valid means of communication.

But Amor didn’t do that.

I saw it as it was.

He listened to my story and acknowledged it.

He realized.

This is what it means to fall in love at first sight.

Amor saw Ale… or something’s expression become more serious in real time.

I had a bad feeling.

Soon he smiled leisurely.

He extends his hand to her like a gentleman inviting her to dance.

That arrogant tone was so ingrained in me that I didn’t know how else to say it.

“Will you date me officially? As a lover, that is.”

Amor ended up laughing awkwardly.

“haha….”

*

It was the weekend, three days after that incident.

Amor told Elijah this.

“What would you do if you were my mother?”

Elijah paused for a moment to consider his words.

What if your 14-year-old self were in that situation?

‘… … .’

No gentle way to deal with this could come to mind to tell my pretty daughter.

I just changed the subject.

“It’s not what Mom thinks, it’s Amor that’s important. What about Amor?”

“I don’t want to… If I refuse, you’ll get hurt.”

A child who grew up to be affectionate and considerate, unlike others.

Elijah said, stroking Amor.

“Amor. It may be hard, but you have to learn how to hurt others. It’s a skill.”

“Is that so…?”

“Yeah, really. If you don’t have that skill, you’ll end up hurting yourself more than necessary, or you’ll end up hurting yourself.”

Amor nodded slowly.

It seemed like the right thing to say.

It is not possible to accept every request or favor that comes your way.

It seemed like refusing was also a skill.

“Think about it carefully. Mom will help you too.”

“Yeah. Thank you.”

“But what is your name?”

“Ale… what was it? Alejandro… Ro? The Marquis of Catalonia.”

“It’s a pretty deep-rooted family. … That’s right. Keep this a secret from Dad for the time being. Okay?”

“Yeah. Of course.”

To the mother and daughter’s dismay, Judah heard the whole story.

The atmosphere was unusual when Amor returned today.

As expected, something happened.

I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.

I was just sitting in my bedroom with my hearing wider than usual.

It wasn’t that I heard it, but the conversation of two people walking and talking outside the palace reached my ears.

‘Alejandro…’

I especially remembered that name clearly.

It’s my daughter’s business, so I shouldn’t interfere too much.

But I can’t just let it go.

What if the other person is a sticky person who can’t accept rejection?

The possibility cannot be ruled out.

‘Let me see what kind of friend you are.’

*

“Did you hear everything?”

Judah shook his shoulders at Elijah’s return questioning.

“What, what are you listening to…?”

“I asked because I thought it would be true, and it is true.”

“… … .”

“What are you thinking about?”

“What, what?”

“It’s an expression that shows that you’re determined to do something.”

“That, that can’t be… right?”

Elijah laughed weakly as he watched Judah awkwardly lying.

“It would be better to let Amor do it.”

“Who, who said what? Ahem… .”

Judas averted his gaze like a guilty puppy.

Elijah stared at him with a pressing gaze.

“Can’t I just see your face once?”

“I knew it.”

“No, think about it. What if Amor refuses, and that Ale… what if he can’t accept it? What if he makes a scene and everything?”

“You worry too much.”

“Parents can do that to their children sometimes, but not often.”

“Hmm… .”

Elijah looked up at Judah, then shrugged his shoulders.

If I leave it like this, I feel like I’ll be groaning and not be able to sleep at night.

In that case, it would be better to let them do what they want, even if it’s just a little bit.

How many children are there in the house?

“You shouldn’t scare me or anything.”

“I’ll just see your face. Just your face. Just have a light meal and chat, something like that…”

“You promised me, right?”

“Um. Sure.”

Judas nodded resolutely.

*

Academy students have free access to the educational facilities even on weekends.

Alejandro was reading a book in the reading room.

It was one of the romance novels based on Judah and Elijah.

There have been quite a few novels in the world that feature stories about two people.

Alejandro was an avid reader of such novels.

Love that transcends status.

A relationship that bore fruit by preventing the end of the world together.

It’s so beautiful.

Even on the way back to the dorm from the reading room, I was lost in thought.

‘It’s a really beautiful story… But novels always end with a wedding. Who are your children? I heard they’re at the Academy, but I don’t know their names, so I’m curious.’

Someone came in front of him like that.

“Alejandro?”

Judging by their attire, they are faculty and staff.

The security team was comprised entirely of former knights.

The name written on the employee’s badge around his neck was Shylock.

“Yes, I am Alejandro. What’s going on…?”

When a security officer comes to you personally, it’s usually not welcome news.

But the news Shylock brought was different.

The man named Shylock said with a good-natured smile.

“A girl asked me to give you a message. She wants to return the favor, so come to the cafeteria.”

“…!”

Amor immediately came to mind.

Alejandro smiled brightly.

“thank you.”

I bowed politely and walked quickly to the communal dining hall.

‘But, did the security guard tell you this too? And the public dining hall is probably closed now… .’

The questions that briefly came to mind quickly dispersed.

That wasn’t the important issue right now.

Shylock smiled and shook his head as he watched Alejandro walk away.

“It sounds fun. I want to go see it too.”

“Huh? Sir Shylock, what are you doing here?”

Hermis came and said.

“Why are you laughing? Did you do something weird again?”

“How on earth are you looking at me…?”

“I think I am seeing it as it is.”

“Oh my.”

Shylock shook his head.

Hermis is right.

He changed the message that Judas asked him to convey and relayed it to him.

‘That would be fun… I’ll ask about it later.’

*

The Academy’s public dining hall.

This is where all the students gather during meal times.

Basically, breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided.

Breakfast is optional.

If you want, we can also cook other foods for you.

It’s only open until 7pm, and if you want to eat after that, you’ll have to use the dorm’s makeshift kitchen.

The restaurant, which should be closed at this hour, is bustling.

A noise that sounds like several men talking.

Alejandro opened the door, even though he thought it was strange.

When you open the restaurant door and go in, what you see is a familiar, spacious space.

The bright lights were as usual.

Judging from the delicious smell of meat wafting in, it seemed like someone was eating.

At this time?

But, there was an unfamiliar figure there.

A huge… lump of people sitting at a table in the middle of the restaurant.

It was a person, so huge that it looked like a lump.

People who were like a wall were eating meat piled on a table and chatting lively.

‘Who are these people? Where is Amor…?’

At that moment, the men looked back at Alejandro.

They all have an oppressive atmosphere.

Some even have hideous scars on their faces or necks.

Alejandro’s gaze reached the very edge of the crowd.

A cold gaze.

The beastly golden eyes stare back at him.

‘That person is… Your Majesty…?!’

For a moment, he thought that Gukseo and Amor looked similar.

Especially those eyes.

That thought led to a possibility.

‘…no way.’

Alejandro realized the whole truth.

Amor. She was a princess who enjoyed the favor of the emperor and the state council.

And these huge men like this gate here.

The Imperial Guard was the sharpest sword and strongest shield of the empire.

“You are Alejandro?”

The king and Amor’s father said.

His voice is as beastly as his appearance.

It rings low.

“I’ve heard a lot about you. You like our Amor.”

“That, that, that’s….”

“I was just curious about what kind of friend you are. Have you had dinner? I just invited you over and arranged a place to eat. Come and sit down for now.”

“No, I, that is….”

thud!

The door closed with a loud slam.

The wind was closing in.

Alejandro jumped and shrugged his shoulders.

I wanted to go out, but my feet wouldn’t move.

“Why are you so scared? If someone saw you, they’d think you were going to eat me. I was just wondering who my daughter’s friends were interested in.”

Several large men, each about three times Alejandro’s size, stared at the shabby schoolboy.

They were curious too.

Who dared approach my angelic niece, Princess Amor?

Alejandro felt as if he was suffocating under those gazes.

The scariest person at the end smiled kindly.

It was a warm smile, as if it were considerate, but to the onlooker, it didn’t feel that way at all.

“Can we talk for a minute?”

The knife in his hand, used to cut the meat, gleamed sharply.
