The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away - Chapter 240
Bonus 6. Who approached our Amor? (2)
From noble mtl dot come
“Can we talk for a minute?”
Judas smiled as kindly as he could.
But Alejandro trembled on the spot like a shocked person.
Judas was genuinely puzzled.
‘…Why is it so stiff?’
I was desperately curious about who the boy who approached Amor was.
That doesn’t mean I could just call him.
I didn’t want to use my power to force a conversation. How is that any different from kidnapping?
So, I asked Shylock.
Ask them to bring it instead.
Still, I felt that I should treat them as guests, so I rented a restaurant for a while.
I didn’t call the guards to scare you.
I just gathered a few people because I was worried that it would be burdensome if we met alone.
I thought to myself that I was becoming a more polite adult, unlike before when I would just mindlessly do whatever I wanted.
… Anyway, in his opinion, Alejandro’s tension was unnatural.
“Is it scary to see us sitting so close together?”
“No. I was surprised because your face looks so dirty, Dyke.”
“Then shouldn’t I be gagging instead of being scared?”
“What did you say?”
Some of them were bickering among themselves, while others were looking at Alejandro intently.
“Hmm… That guy is the one who confessed to our princess.”
“Why our princess? She is my daughter.”
“Be quiet. How can you possibly use your strength when you’re so weak? If the wind blows, it’ll break. I have a duty to know what kind of man approached my nephew.”
Argon muttered gruffly, and Lindell looked at Alejandro’s thin arm with displeasure.
As a father of a daughter, he was dissatisfied with this situation.
“Why are you so skinny? Didn’t you eat dinner?”
Ate.
Alejandro remembers a sumptuous dinner.
But the answer came out differently.
“yes yes….”
“Somehow. Come and eat. There’s more.”
Alejandro walked with the feeling of an animal being led to the slaughterhouse.
I didn’t want to walk, but my feet moved.
I felt like something big would happen if I didn’t walk.
Judas sat Alejandro down next to him.
As I looked at the student whose face had turned pale, a possibility occurred to me.
‘… No way, that guy Shylock.’
“That’s the guy who told you to come here. What did he tell you?”
“Hey, there’s a school girl waiting… .”
“… … .”
Judas grabbed the back of his neck.
What he said to Shylock was this:
‘I want to see you in person. If you call me directly, I won’t be able to refuse, so please tell me instead. If you can come to the restaurant, please do so. And tell me that it’s okay if I refuse if it’s inconvenient.’
And Shylock only told them that the destination was a restaurant.
The most important piece of information that was left out was that Judas was waiting there.
There was no special reason.
I just thought it would be fun.
‘Ah… Even though you’re older, your personality is still the same.’
This makes it seem like he was just trying to bring the guy who dared approach his daughter to a scary place.
Judas said with a sigh.
“It seems there was a misunderstanding during the delivery. We’re not trying to do anything to you, we were just curious. Do you know what I mean?”
“Yes… .”
“Yeah, since you haven’t eaten dinner yet, eat some first.”
Alejandro looked at the food in front of him, taking note of the situation.
It has a strong meaty flavor, but it is composed of a variety of vegetables, including bread and noodles.
But that amount is too much.
Even though it was for 12 people, it didn’t seem like Alejandro would be able to handle that much food.
Judas felt a little relieved as he watched the male student carefully eating his food, one bite at a time, while keeping an eye on the other person.
‘I think the misunderstanding has been cleared up a little.’
I just told him I liked it.
Because all the guards were staring at Alejandro.
‘I’m going to get sick if this keeps up.’
In fact, Alejandro couldn’t keep his legs still as if he was anxious about their gaze.
“What are you doing that makes it uncomfortable while the child is eating?”
“I’m curious, how can I hold back?”
What are you curious about?
Alejandro was curious and anxious too.
I put the food down because I felt sick.
“Why don’t you eat more?”
“I’m full, I’m full…”
“That’s all you can eat? When I was your age, I just ate the whole plateful in my mouth….”
“Someone shut Jerry’s mouth.”
After saying that, Judas looked at Alejandro.
“I heard you confessed to Amor. He asked you to date him.”
Alejandro’s heart dropped to the floor.
The time has finally come.
The words that followed came to mind in a flurry.
‘How dare you desire the princess, atone for your sins by dying!’
But Judas’ question went off the rails.
“What do you like so much about our daughter?”
His smiling face was not pretentious.
I was genuinely curious and didn’t feel too bad about it.
Even for Judah himself, it was a contradictory feeling.
How dare you confess to Amor?
A mild animosity blossomed.
But you came to like Amor? You have a good eye for people. You’re the kind of person who would fall in love at first sight.
Somehow, I felt like my daughter was acknowledged, so it wasn’t all that bad.
Of course, of course, it is a state that is much closer to unpleasantness than pleasantness.
Still, Judas was curious.
Why did you confess to Amor?
The same was true for the other guards.
I wanted to hear that kind of awkward but fresh story.
Before we knew it, we were all old men.
“I, just… . I’ve never met someone who was kind, listened to me, and acknowledged me… .”
“Amor is like an angel.”
“That personality set the man’s heart on fire. Huh?”
The guards laughed heartily and continued to tease the male students.
Judas just smiled softly.
Alejandro said, feeling a bit cold.
“Ha, but I didn’t realize you were the princess. It’s true…! I’m sorry, I dared… .”
“Huh? What are you talking about? At the Academy, everyone is equal regardless of status.”
Judas patted him on the back as if to reassure him.
“That’s not why I called you. I was just curious, literally. Who confessed to Amor? Why? Things like that.”
“Yes, yes… .”
“It would be wrong for me to recant my confession here. I won’t do that. That’s Amor’s decision. I should leave it entirely up to the child.”
However, I couldn’t just sit still because I was worried for no reason.
But unintentionally, I ended up pressuring this male student.
“Are you good at studying?”
“No, not really… .”
“Hmm. Maybe I can’t. As for physical education….”
Judas looked at Alejandro’s body again and kept his mouth shut.
I could tell without even hearing the answer.
“And you’re a wizard, too.”
“Yes… It’s not enough, but it is okay.”
“still….”
I didn’t necessarily say, “If you try, it will work out.”
Because there are things that can’t be achieved no matter how hard you try.
Besides, Alejandro’s face was turning black and dead.
I was unintentionally trampling on this boy’s self-esteem.
‘You, who are bad at studying, not in good health, and lack even natural magical talent, dare to use Amor?’
The conversation flow was such that it seemed as if they were arguing like that.
‘Um… I didn’t mean to do this. I feel sorry for no reason.’
I was just curious.
I had promised myself before coming here that I would not let this situation happen again, but I ended up asking questions like an interrogation.
Judas looked at the male student quietly.
Alejandro.
Although he was a bit pretentious, his personality itself did not seem bad.
In his opinion, in just five years, Alejandro will be beating the blanket thinking about this moment.
Perhaps the person who hates him the most today is not Judas, but Alejandro himself.
I’m sure it’s my future self, but anyway.
“I was just curious, so don’t be intimidated.”
“We are different, Inma!”
Argon shouted.
The people who gathered around him were staunch Amor supporters.
They couldn’t just sit by and watch this situation unfold as a guy they had never heard of before appeared and approached Amor.
“We, huh? We have a duty to find out and test every single one of the people who approached Amor!”
“Yeah! Where the hell is that skinny guy Amor… Hey Inma! How many pushups do you do?”
“I can’t, I can’t… .”
“You can’t do even one? Oh, my goodness. How can that be?”
“So, can you protect the princess?! If I told you to die for Amor, would you die?! Can you do that?”
“You see that ogre in the history books? I tore its arm off with my bare hands!”
“Be quiet! Be quiet, be quiet!”
Judas tried to calm them down as they were chattering like excited dogs.
But the backlash was not insignificant.
“Whose side are you on, Inma! Can you tolerate it! Huh!”
Of course it is unacceptable.
If by any chance Amor accepts this, he will shed tears of blood and pretend not to know.
If that’s the child’s decision, I’ll just have to endure it.
That’s the role of parents.
“Let’s stop talking about old times like the old man in the back room. After all, we have to respect Amor’s will….”
Dylan, a relatively moderate, calmed the excited ones.
But it wasn’t easy because everyone else except him was a diehard supporter.
“The man with the son is out.”
“You should have a daughter too, Inma!”
Judas decided to send Alejandro back while they were fighting.
“Go back and rest. Thanks for coming out today.”
“Yes, yes… .”
Judas straightened Alejandro’s collar and brushed the dust off his shoulders.
Alejandro didn’t know what to do with himself.
It’s not just because the opponent is a foreigner.
I was afraid that the big hand, as big as my head, would suddenly grab my face and make it burst.
“Have a good time at the academy.”
It was a greeting to really do well, but it sounded different to Alejandro.
‘Behave well, for my eyes are upon you.’
Whatever it meant, he nodded his head without fail.
After many twists and turns, Alejandro came out of the restaurant.
Inside the restaurant, the usual bickering between the royal guard and the royal guard could be heard.
Alejandro came outside and held his heart that was beating fast.
It’s not just because I’m surprised and scared.
A clear heartbeat felt for the first time in my life.
He is now a cat.
‘Ogre with bare hands…?’
An ogre at least three times larger than a human.
It’ll be much bigger than those muscle masses.
However, it is said that he tore it off with his bare hands.
Judas, the national secretary who reached the pinnacle of the knighthood, would have done something even greater.
My heart raced just thinking about it.
‘me too….’
I lived lazily, relying only on my weak wizarding abilities.
He was indifferent to physical strength and the body.
Giant men who were scary when I first saw them.
But the more he adapted, the more Alejandro fell in love with the aesthetic of its form and muscles.
‘I want to be like that too…!’
Judas, unintentionally, aroused a peculiar desire in the heart of a certain male student.
*
Amor consulted Elijah and then confessed to Judah two days later.
I felt awkward about keeping it a secret.
The day before, Judas had called Alejandro to the restaurant to meet him, but he pretended not to know him and listened indifferently.
And today.
Amor asked after returning from the academy.
“Dad. Did you meet Senior Alejandro?”
“… No? Why Dad?”
Amor stared intently at Judah, trying to read his expression, and Judah slowly averted his gaze.
Elijah stroked the dust on his lap and watched the confrontation between the two with interest.
