The Grand Duchess of the North Is Obsessed With Me - The Grand Duchess of the North Is Obsessed With Me chapter 45

45 – Recalling the Cud (End)

“… Ah.”

Open your eyes and place one arm over your eyes to cover them.

Why does this kind of ugliness come to mind at once as soon as it happens?

I… It must have been ugly

Ha ha.

He let out a small sigh from his mouth and paused for a moment to cool his flushed face.

It wasn’t my intention.

Probably because the moment he saw the swords of the knights, he went out of his mind. It was difficult to control my body because of the memories I had buried all at once.

‘No matter how much it is….’

It must have been so ugly that I didn’t want to see it, really… !

I don’t even remember it properly after that. What did you say, what kind of bullying did you do.

But I remember that clearly.

Don’t forget. Face it straight, and don’t forget what I have to protect.

“Whoa….”

I exhaled and raised my upper body.

The sun had already set outside the window, and only the dim darkness and the small moonlight were pouring down.

Faced with the slightly chilly night air, I stepped out onto the terrace, clinging to the railing and staring blankly at the sky.

My new family I met here.

It’s not about possession or the world in a novel, but my family and the servants of this mansion who have been with me for over 10 years in this body.

Furthermore, the people of our territory and the knights I met.

Then.

———Ilensia.

Since I had to protect it, I decided to keep it.

In order to stand confidently by his side, I decided to head for a higher place.

But that didn’t mean that my mind changed drastically or that I became desensitized to murder.

I was still just a weak human being, and if I killed, I would struggle with the memory, and those memories would always haunt me.

But that didn’t mean it would collapse as easily as it did today.

What I have to protect.

Things I should not lose or forget.

You just have to think about them and endure them.

Because there is definitely someone by my side who will support me and make me stand up.

It does not collapse. Go forward.

That was certain.

Reflecting on the promise. Reminiscing. So alone, blankly, I gazed up at the sky.

“…… Etch!”

Oh, did you have too much form?

It’s cold… I have to go to my room right away.

Whiik——!

Concentrate on the opponent’s movement while crossing the flying sword with my sword at an angle and letting it flow.

I was about to pierce the opponent’s chest with my sword, but I took a few steps back when I saw another opponent forcefully crushing me from the side.

“Whoa….”

I caught my breath in a short moment and quietly stared at the two knights preparing to pass again.

——Definitely tricky.

It wasn’t so much annoyance when I was dealing with two than when I was dealing with one.

I had to move while thinking about my gaps, and even when facing one person, I had to constantly focus on the movement of the one remaining person.

If you make a mistake in one movement, you may be exposed to danger.

‘Thanks to that, I seem to be improving my skills quickly.’

Realizing through experience that there is no answer if the opponent rushes in first, I immediately move my body when they close the distance to some extent.

Always irregular.

So that the other person can’t predict my movements.

Tadat!

Heading towards the knight on the left, I suddenly turned around and changed direction when we started to strike each other with swords, and rushed towards the knight on the right.

Don’t be surrounded.

When facing opponents who are more numerous than myself, I try to defeat them individually without being surrounded as much as possible.

No matter how strong I am, I only have two hands and only one eye.

Kang!

When the knight on the right blocked my sword while his stance was collapsing, he pulled himself out without delay and widened the distance again.

Don’t take too long.

You shouldn’t have regrets. Don’t allow even the slightest struggle, because the enemy is holding me back.

It is easy to become prey for others the moment they are caught.

“Sheesh.”

The knight who was aiming for his back kicked his tongue, and the knight who was taken aback by the swift movement managed to straighten his posture and calm his startled heart.

And I kick the ground one tempo faster than before.

Must show unpredictable movements. If the opponent shakes a little faster, you have to dig into the gap more.

hahahaha… Ha….

My opponents and I are definitely exhausted.

It was only natural that I had been moving my body for a long time. It exhales a rough breath and clings to the opponent tenaciously and tenaciously.

Kang!

Swords facing each other, retreating and aiming for gaps in the enemy without getting tired.

It aims at the end of concentration and depletion of mental power, and does not give the opponent a chance to recover.

“Ahh!!”

I also clashed swords with my opponent, invigorating my tired body. At that moment, a gap appeared.

Kang!

The tip of the swinging sword.

The opponent’s sword shakes a little more weakly than before. Without missing the opportunity, she elegantly wrapped her sword around her and cut off the opponent’s throat, then followed….

“…… Lost.”

Looking at the sword hanging around his neck, he quietly conveyed his intention to surrender. The knight slightly brushed by my wooden sword stood up with an empty smile, and I also caught my breath on the spot.

I was slow at the end.

It wasn’t bad to aim for the gap in the first article, but the next movement was slow because the body was heavy.

As I licked my lips in regret and caught my breath, someone came up to me and started talking to me.

“It was great. Young master.”

“Mr. Berman.”

Berman looked at him, wiping his sweat with the towel he had handed him.

“hahahaha, you look not satisfied yet.”

From the moment I set a new goal, I was literally training my bones.

“To be honest, yes.”

There were results from training.

In the first place, Berman, who judged that the knights could not fight me one-on-one, ordered a many-on-one battle.

Still, I couldn’t be satisfied with losing to two people.

“At this age, there are only a handful of people who can achieve this level of achievement by going head-to-head with knights.”

Don’t be too impatient.

Saying that, I couldn’t help but smile awkwardly as I looked at Berman, who laughed quietly.

Even if it is possible to fight two-on-one with knights now, you may have to fight more knights than that on the battlefield.

Besides, there is no room for me to devote my time to them as it is now, on the battlefield.

Pop… Pop….

Sweating like rain, I clenched my fists for a moment before shaking my head and taking a deep breath.

Pair!

I woke up with a strong slap on both cheeks.

Yes, there is no need to rush yet. The situation wasn’t extremely urgent, and I wouldn’t have to shoulder everything by myself.

… Still.

I think it would be better to increase the intensity of training a little more.

As I licked her dry lips with her tongue, I turned her gaze to the woman who asked me in her gruff voice.

“Why are you self-torturing?”

“To calm down.”

Now I was used to Illencia appearing out of nowhere. Although, of course, it was my fault that she didn’t realize either her or Berman was coming.

I didn’t know that, but once I get lost in my thoughts, I tend to not be aware of the situation around me.

Thanks to that, it wasn’t once or twice that I was surprised by the people who were always like this and suddenly appeared.

‘Still, I think my senses have become a little sharper through training, but I’m still always surprised by Elencia.’

No, did he reduce his presence in the first place?

It’s not a playful personality, but it was possible enough for Illencia, who likes to play pranks.

Besides, for some reason, I didn’t surprise myself today, so I felt a bit upset.

“… So are you listening?”

“Oh, sorry. What did you say?”

Ilensia, her mouth popping out, asks me with her beautiful eyes.

I honestly apologized and scratched the back of her head.

I couldn’t hear what she was saying because she was thinking about something else.

She slowly walked into the room with Illensia chirping by her side again like a baby bird.

“So, in the end, you’re asking me to escort you when you go to a social gathering, right?”

After listening to Illencia’s words to the end, I summarized her words in one line and retold them.

Then Illensia, who had a small smile on her face, nodded her head cutely. Her red eyes shine brightly and stare at me.

“hehehe… Couldn’t it?”

A smile came out of her smile when she looked up at me with the cutest expression possible while mixing aegyo with her voice.

Even if I didn’t mobilize all kinds of weapons, I would have done the favor, but I felt mischievous at the sight of Illencia, who was cuter today.

“Hmm… what to do.”

“Why? What’s going on?”

As if embarrassed, Illencia quickly blinked her eyes and asked, as I awkwardly touched her chin.

“Actually, I have a family business this time….”

When she brought up a family affair that didn’t exist and expressed her willingness to refuse, a deep sadness fell on Ilensia’s expression.

I stroked her hair while controlling the corners of her mouth, which usually acted like a cat, but at times like a puppy caught in the rain, she ran wild.

“I’m sorry.”

“Oh, no… It can be….”

“I’m sorry though.”

After calmly stroking her hair, I finally smiled and whispered in her ear.

“It’s a joke.”

“Profit… !”

Ilensia, who tilted her head for a moment at her words, grasped the meaning and made her face blush. I smiled and moved her seat away from her.

… After all, it is a social church.

For some reason, I have an ominous feeling.
