The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away - Chapter 241
Extra 6. Who approached our Amor? (3)
“Dad. Did you meet Senior Alejandro?”
“… No? Why Dad?”
“Hmm… .”
Amor stared at Judah.
His golden eyes slowly turned to the side.
From noble mtl dot come
“Why are you avoiding my eyes?”
“If someone stares at you like that, you’ll end up avoiding them for no reason. Even though Amor is cute like a kitten, that’s just how it is.”
“Then look me in the eye and tell me. Are you sure it’s not true?”
Judah closed his eyes once, then looked straight at Amor.
As if he wanted to convey his true feelings.
“No, really.”
“hmm….”
“Why, did something happen?”
“just….”
In the end, Amor failed to grasp the truth.
It was partly because Judah had matured and was not showing his emotions as much as before, but Amor was too young.
I lacked the skill to discern the truth of others.
In fact, Elijah, who was watching this, saw all the characteristics that Judah showed when he lied.
“I felt a little strange when I rejected you today.”
“Are you embarrassed? Or hurt?”
“That’s a little different… I don’t know. It’s like I’m just accepting it as a given.”
“Well, that could be the case.”
“And then he suddenly gave up on magic tools and ran away, saying he wanted to take classes specializing in swordsmanship and martial arts.”
At that point, Judas was also puzzled.
Suddenly swordsmanship and martial arts?
Rather, I wonder if it would be better if I came to hate him because of the experience I had meeting him.
It’s strange that you ended up majoring in it.
“It was so unnatural that I wondered if something had happened. Like meeting my dad.”
“Hmm… I don’t know, Dad.”
“Hmm. That’s good. You didn’t seem that hurt. I guess I was worrying for nothing.”
“That’s how you learn and grow while worrying about things like that.”
Although he spoke calmly, Judas was cheering inwardly.
What if Amor accepts it?
I should respect that, but I think it would really hurt my heart.
I even had a nightmare while I was sleeping.
I was able to fall asleep again thanks to Elijah’s hug and soothing me.
I feel at ease when I am held in her warm and soft embrace.
“Anyway, I’m glad. I can now worry less. I guess Dad is relieved too?”
It was exactly as he said.
Judas smiled gently and nodded.
“Yes. That’s right. I was so worried.”
“If you’re going to worry this much, what are you going to do when you get married?”
“What can I do if I cry?”
“What is that? Why are you crying?”
Amor laughed out loud as if it was a funny joke.
It’s a nice laughter to hear.
But Judas wasn’t joking.
I said it as a joke, but if it really happened, I would cry.
That’s what crying is like.
I don’t cry because I want to cry, I cry because I have to cry.
So, it was something he couldn’t do anything about.
“That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t worry about what your dad thinks. If there’s someone you like, you should meet them and do that. Okay?”
“Yeah. If it happens, we’ll meet without saying anything.”
“… My work keeps piling up.”
“Then I should hug you and comfort you.”
When their conversation seemed to have come to an end, Elijah naturally sat on Judah’s lap.
She kissed Judah on the cheek, stroked his head, and hugged him.
Since the family was so affectionate and showed affection without any special occasions, Amor didn’t care.
Judah put his arms around Elijah’s waist and stroked his belly.
“Maybe crying isn’t such a bad thing.”
Even if that day really comes someday.
It’s okay because I trust Amor.
And with such a lovely wife, it’s really okay.
Anyway, it was still a distant story.
But there were no eternal secrets.
The next day, Amor learned that Judah had intervened.
The National Guard and the Royal Guard came to the Academy separately and met with someone.
Such rumors had already spread.
Amor, who realized this, immediately went to find Judah and questioned him.
“Dad! I told you I haven’t met you!”
“Ah, no, that, that… . Well, we did meet, but nothing much happened. We just, we ate together? Yeah? We talked and that’s all?”
“I can do it…! What if some strange rumor spreads around the Academy!”
“Isn’t it a rumor that Amor is very loved by his father…?”
“I don’t know, I hate Dad!”
“… … .”
Amor just left the room.
Judas was silent for a while.
I felt my chest without realizing it.
It hurts like I’ve been pierced by something.
But it was fine.
You hate me?
It’s more painful than getting hurt in a fight.
Elijah, who had been watching quietly, took him in his arms and patted him.
“Breathe, breathe.”
Only then did Judas breathe slowly.
I froze for a moment and couldn’t even breathe.
Elijah expected this to happen.
Even though it was not officially announced, it was impossible for the state secretary, Judah, to move and for anyone to not know.
It was bound to be even more noisy since they even brought the guards with them.
But I knew that Judah wouldn’t listen even if I tried to stop him, so I just left him alone.
Now that I can realize it, I said it as if I was being comforted.
“I said it would be better to just leave it alone.”
“I know….”
Judah slumped his shoulders and rested his face on Elijah’s chest.
My heart didn’t calm down easily.
‘I hate you, Dad!’
That voice wouldn’t leave my head.
Elijah said, stroking his head.
“I said it in the spur of the moment. I didn’t mean it. That’s just how it is. Emotions can change depending on the situation.”
“Yeah… that’s right.”
Judas sighed deeply.
In the end, it’s your own fault.
If I had just left it up to my daughter, it wouldn’t have come to this.
“Wait a minute, I should apologize first.”
Elijah smiled and kissed Judah on the forehead.
“You’re all grown up. You even know how to apologize. You’re an adult now.”
“… I am originally an adult.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
Elijah hugged Judah as if he were caring for his fifth child.
*
Amor recognized and acknowledged that there had been some misunderstandings.
My father only really had a meal and a conversation with Alejandro.
He didn’t scare me or pressure me into making any decisions.
Of course, the fact that he intervened in one’s own work does not change.
However, the intervention was extremely passive.
It’s just a question of whether or not Alejandro is a danger to my daughter.
I was just going to check it and send it back.
This was confirmed through Alejandro’s own statement.
“Senior. You can be honest with me. There’s no need to hide your status. Didn’t Dad scold you or scare you?”
“I know it’s a situation that can be misunderstood. The way I treated you was also a bit uncomfortable. Rude, self-centered, and self-centered…”
“Did Dad point that out too?”
“No, I did not realize it through him, but he did not point it out. He is the one who does not teach, but makes us realize.”
What was a little strange was that Alejandro, who should have been the most uncomfortable, defended and praised Judas.
It was like seeing a believer who was inspired by faith.
“He really just wanted to talk. I was just scared because I couldn’t see the truth.”
“… Really? But why didn’t you tell me first?”
“Huh? Well, it’s not like I really need to tell you. Nothing really happened. If anything had happened, I would have learned and gained the truth from him.”
“Senior, are you okay?”
“I can proudly say that I am more intelligent now than I have ever been. Amor. It may seem strange that I have suddenly changed, but I am not lying. He really wanted to talk to me. He treated me to a delicious meal. That’s all.”
“That’s good… Phew. I was just wondering if Dad had said something weird.”
“He is not that kind of person. … Oh, I’m not saying this because of his status, but really. I felt it after talking to him. I have never seen such a great person in my life. To see him in person is a glorious thing in my life. I wish I could see him again… So, what should I do to see you again, Mr. Guk-seo?”
The person who confessed to me is suddenly praising his father.
It was a strange feeling.
Amor ignored the fanatic-like question and gathered his thoughts.
‘Anyway, it turned out well… .’
As a result, this Alejandro was not hurt.
The outcome was not determined or changed because of my father’s intervention.
Amor was going to refuse anyway.
Alejandro simply accepted the rejection humbly.
It wasn’t that I refused because of any pressure.
It was an attitude of purely accepting and respecting Amor’s rejection.
Although his sudden change in attitude was still suspicious, his claims and intentions were consistent.
The truth has been confirmed.
My father met Alejandro, but he didn’t pressure or scare him.
The situation itself may have seemed oppressive, but when you remove the prejudice, it wasn’t the essence.
Alejandro had grown up in just a few days, but he had no intention of accepting her confession, so he rejected her.
And fortunately, Alejandro was less hurt.
At that moment, Amor remembered the words he had said impulsively.
‘I hate you, Dad!’
That can’t be possible.
I can never hate my mom and dad.
It cannot be said that Judah did not interfere at all in Amor’s affairs.
But the level wasn’t enough to worry Amor.
I lied and said we never met.
But Amor seemed to know his father’s heart.
I have talked to my classmates about the confession I received, and some of them said that when they rejected the confession, they were cursed at instead.
You’re saying it’s expensive for nothing?
At that time, I was a little worried about meeting Amordo Alejandro.
Thanks to the stuffed animal you carry around, there’s no danger.
As a father who knows more about such cases, I thought it was something to be worried about.
Besides, my dad loves and cares for me so much, to the point of being excessive.
‘But what did I say… I didn’t mean to say that. You’re still so immature.’
I vowed to apologize.
But when he returned home, his father came to him first.
“Amor.”
“Oh, Dad… .”
“I’m sorry. I was hasty. I should have trusted Amor… I thought I trusted him, but I guess I didn’t.”
Judas honestly admitted his mistake.
Amor felt embarrassed and ashamed.
“Me, me too… I tried to hide it from Dad at first. And also, when I said I hated him, I lied. I didn’t mean it. I’m sorry… .”
Judah knew that Amor was very angry.
But his daughter was a more considerate and mature child than he had thought.
“If I were the father, I think I would have been worried. And I heard from my senior that they really only talked and ate.”
Well, that was true.
Although the mood was unintentionally tense, Judas never really tried to pressure him.
“So, I’m sorry too.”
Judas took a deep breath of relief before smiling.
“Then, Dad, will you forgive me?”
“Yeah. But, don’t do that next time. Promise.”
“Okay, I promise. I won’t lie.”
Judah and Amor interlocked their fingers.
“But… can’t you forgive the guard uncles too?”
Amor found out the truth and was furious.
The fact was quickly made known to the guards.
They immediately called an emergency meeting and came to Amor to apologize.
It was difficult for Judah because it was difficult to distinguish whether the crowd was trying to apologize or protest.
Amor spoke rudely for no reason.
“Hmm… Well, I’ll listen to you for once.”
And Amor discovered the guards sieging the entrance to the palace.
Oh, I wasn’t protesting, I was apologizing.
They shouted as soon as they saw Amor.
“Amor! I’m sorry, Uncle!”
“Your father tricked you! He threatened you with his power, so I had no choice!”
“Never do that again…!”
Amor burst out laughing as he watched them struggling.
Judas muttered to himself next to him.
“When did I… . listen to someone who says that I suppress them with power… .”
“Should I forgive you when you apologize so sincerely?”
“No. Maybe he’s not serious. Let’s just not forgive him and torment him.”
“I wonder?”
Amor chuckled at Judah’s joke.
“I’m just kidding. I think I know how my uncles feel, so it’s okay.”
Amor forgave the guards, and they expressed their gratitude passionately, like believers freed from their guilt.
Amor smiled as he felt them and his father next to him.
It was noisy, but it didn’t feel too bad.
From noble mtl dot come
Judah also sighed.
‘I’m glad it was resolved amicably.’
And then, as one problem was solved, another arose.
*
The incident where Amor confessed to the opposite s*x has come to an end.
But there were people who were affected by that.
It was Fides.
‘hmm….’
I think the Academy is a good place.
But there were also some regrettable things.
It has become difficult to see the person I used to see and play with often when I was young.
Fides is a 9-year-old second grader.
This is because the target is a 15-year-old second-year middle school student.
I want to see that curly blonde hair more often.
Fides came up with a way to solve this problem through Amor’s confession.
Originally, I was indifferent and ignorant about romantic feelings and such relationships.
But through Amor’s incident, I learned something new.
Now that I’ve figured out the method, there’s no time to hesitate.
Fidesz did just that.
He called out to the subject and said:
“I like you, sister. So go out with me.”
“… Uh, yeah?”
Richard and Beninita’s eldest daughter.
Erin was taken aback by the straightforward confession from someone six years her junior.
“Me, me?”
An image of Richard’s angry face flashed through my mind.
