The Necromancer Who Was Despised - The Necromancer Who Was Despised chapter 162
She said she would reclaim her lost position with her own strength.
“In that sense, I want to express my gratitude again for the advice to utilize the sacred artifact that has fallen into my hands. If it weren’t for this artifact and that advice, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to turn the situation around.”
Even without the sacred artifact, she would have definitely become a Master. However, it would have taken more time, and achieving something beyond that would have been extremely difficult.
But the sacred artifact, one that had defeated a dragon, had fallen into her hands.
So, she had the opportunity to turn the situation around, just as she said.
I opened my mouth several times, but I couldn’t bring myself to speak.
While I appreciated her goodwill, it wasn’t something I could accept easily. However, the situation wasn’t conducive to refusing her either.
If I had known it would come to this, I should have rejected Prina’s proposal from the start.
But I didn’t. Being closer to the center of the kingdom, or rising in status in Yangji, was nothing compared to being in the goddess’s line of sight.
In this situation, my engagement to Prina would definitely be helpful.
So, I couldn’t bring myself to tell Kyleara not to push herself too hard.
“…Yeah. Thanks for understanding.”
“This is beneficial for us as well. I’m even grateful that you didn’t accept the proposal on the spot. It means you don’t take me lightly.”
How could I take Kyleara lightly? Although Atna was the first one to be with me, Kyleara was the one who had helped me more.
“It’s meaningless now, but…”
Even if Kyleara became incompetent now, I couldn’t abandon her.
“And Atna… no, it’s not like I have anything to say.”
Kyleara said it was unnecessary interference.
“I’ll get going first and focus on achieving my goal.”
Of course, she said she would continue to be my escort.
“I can’t give up my current happiness for the future. The inside of the Desert’s Shield is safe, after all.”
“…You’re the only one who would call being an escort a happy thing.”
“A normal knight’s life was my dream. Since my dream has come true, I can be happy. Of course, that’s not the only reason I’m happy.”
I roughly understood what she meant.
‘I should help Kyleara become an official knight if I get the chance in the future.’
Kyleara didn’t seem to care much about her external status, but she would appreciate it if I did something for her.
I had thought about it before, but this incident made me think I should do more for her.
When I went outside, Atna was nowhere to be seen.
Fortunately, I was able to find Tia, who said she wanted to be alone.
“I went outside the city walls. I won’t go to any dangerous places, so…”
Even Tia couldn’t stop her.
Fortunately, it wasn’t the dry wasteland, so there wasn’t a problem with safety, but I couldn’t help but worry.
“Hey, but oppa.”
“How are you going to handle the engagement?”
I didn’t expect Tia to ask directly, but since it was going to come out eventually, I answered honestly.
“Kyleara said she won’t oppose it. I think she’ll accept it.”
Tia hesitated for a while before giving me an awkward smile.
“I see… it’s okay, then…”
It seemed like Atna was bothering her.
“If you have something to say, then say it.”
Tia hesitated, then carefully opened her mouth.
“Even if Unnie opposes it… the result will be the same, right?”
I thought for a moment, then nodded my head.
“If it’s possible, I’ll listen, but since the Goddess Church has taken an interest in me, we need to proceed with this matter.”
If Atina strongly opposed it, I could reconsider my choice.
It would have been possible if it weren’t for the Goddess Church.
‘I wasn’t even interested in Prina to begin with.’
Prina had a beautiful appearance and, although her family was almost ruined, she was from a duke’s lineage.
She also seemed to have her own convictions, and it was impressive how she managed to maintain her declining estate, showing her abilities and grasping opportunities.
But to me, Kailla was there, and I saw Rynetta as a stepping stone and a collaborator, so I had no interest in Prina as a romantic partner.
Kailla said Atina wasn’t qualified, but I didn’t think so.
I believed I could provide sufficient opinions on this matter, and if the situation was right, I was willing to listen.
However, no matter how strongly Atina opposed it, it was difficult to accept her request.
After listening to my explanation, Tia eventually nodded her head.
It was a forced acceptance, but she had no choice but to accept the situation.
Atina returned two days later.
She was significantly calmer than before.
“I’m sorry for suddenly disappearing.”
“No, it’s okay. I just hope this doesn’t happen again in the future.”
She took a short, deep breath before opening her mouth.
“I’ve decided to get engaged.”
It seemed she had already received the news.
“I’ve also talked to my teacher about it.”
With a resolute expression, she said, “I’m second in line.”
“I’ll become stronger, and I’ll take it back, no matter what.”
With a flushed face, Atina declared her determination.
I was taken aback for a moment, but then I burst out laughing.
“Go ahead, do as you want.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Atina couldn’t hold back anymore and rushed out, and I laughed again.

< Scene 156 ﹥ – Kailla
After Atina ran away, I finished my work relatively quickly in the afternoon.
I could do personal research and organize the fragments of knowledge in my mind, even within the Desert Shield, so I had some free time today.
I planned to take an early rest, taking a bath before sunset and going to bed early.
But that thought was shattered by a visitor.
Someone knocked on the door, and when I asked who it was, a very familiar voice replied.
“It’s me, Master.”
It wasn’t that Kailla never visited me; it was just that the circumstances weren’t always right. But since the tower was built and a personal space was created underground, she occasionally came to visit.
However, since she hadn’t visited me during personal training, I couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
“Come on in.”
As soon as I gave her permission, she opened the door and entered the room.
Dressed comfortably, she asked me, looking my way.
“Were you going to sleep?”
“Ah, yeah. I was going to take it easy today.”
“That’s good. I’ll help you have a good night’s rest.”
I smiled wryly in response to her calm tone.
With my permission, Kyara promptly sat down on the bed beside me.
“By the way, Artina came to see me and said she’s going to be the second one. She declared it to the boss.”
“…Did she say that to you?”
“Yes. I thought she’d try to surpass the first one, but it seems like she’s not even thinking about it.”
As I watched her talk calmly while taking off her outerwear, I felt a sense of absurdity.
“I don’t know if she doesn’t want to compete with me or if she thinks it’s unfair to aim for the boss’s first place, but that’s how it is.”
Kyara laughed, saying that Artina seemed to lack ambition.
“As for me, I’m relieved that I don’t have to compete with her… but, why do you look like that?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
I somehow felt like I’d become a trophy.
Kyara, who had become more comfortable, got up from the bed and approached me, saying,
“So, since I confessed, I tried to persuade her to come to the bedroom together, but she ran away.”
“What, what?”
“If my guess is correct, you’re not even close to Artina, are you?…”
That’s true. We never had that kind of atmosphere, anyway. We kept our distance, and there was no opportunity for that.
Artina seemed to have been secretly harboring feelings, but that was it.
“It’s possible that she wants to be alone with you for the first time, too. I should understand that. So, I’ll be alone today. Maybe next time…”
“Wait, wait. What are you saying so calmly?”
Kyara suddenly stripped off my top and looked up at me, saying,
“What’s with that?”
“So, you’re saying that next time, you’ll come to my bedroom with Artina?”
“Yes? What’s with that calm tone?”
“Isn’t it good? The guy who tried to bring me to the bedroom showed me a scene of him having an orgy with two or three people.”
Kyara said calmly, as if it was something obvious.
“Maybe you don’t like it when there are many people involved?”
“I didn’t think about it, regardless of whether I like it or not.”
It was the same last time. I’d never tried one-on-one or one-on-many.
I did make a lot of money briefly, but I wasn’t satisfied, so I was thinking of ways to recover my body or improve my skills.
Therefore, if I said I had no experience with women, it would be a lie, but I’d never been obsessed with them.
“Then try it. That guy seems to be dying to do it…”
“…Let’s stop talking about that guy.”
Honestly, I didn’t even know his face.
Was I worried about Prina, or was I waiting for Artina to take a firm stance?
Kayla wasn’t overly passive at night, but she wasn’t proactive enough to suggest doing it with all three of us, so I think the former had a significant influence.
Before I knew it, Kayla had stripped me of all my clothes, and we were facing each other in our primal state.
She gently wrapped her arms around my neck, pressed her lips to mine, and briefly entwined our tongues.
As our lips touched, all distracting thoughts vanished.
The kiss felt more like a signal to start the night, rather than an exploration, given how many times our bodies had intertwined.
It was a time to focus solely on each other, forgetting about the day’s external events.
Kayla, too, began to focus on our actions and reactions, rather than telling a different story.
After a brief kiss, Kayla knelt down on the floor.
She gently placed her hand on my thigh and stroked it, focusing my senses on that spot.
As she did so, she looked up and met my gaze.
Confirming that I was focused on myself, she slowly moved her hand to stimulate me with both hands.
“Ah.”
Her hand felt strangely cold.
Kayla’s fingers gently stimulated the base of my penis, and my body began to respond to her touch.
Pleased with the response, Kayla took my penis into her mouth.
Ah.
A small moan escaped.
With my penis still in her mouth, she began to gently roll her tongue.
As she did so, she continued to gaze up at me, our eyes locked.
I felt a peculiar sensation whenever she did this.
She was a warrior unmatched on the continent, except for a few masters.
When such a woman kneeled before me, gazing up at me with her eyes, and serviced me… it was not just a physical pleasure, but also a mental one.
Naturally, since we had been intimate multiple times, she must have anticipated my thoughts.
So, she would occasionally take my penis into her mouth, seeming to enjoy my reactions.
I gently stroked her hair, and Kayla smiled softly, gently sucking on the head of my penis.
“Ah.”
A wave of pleasure washed over me.
Before I knew it, my penis was fully erect, and Kayla released it, bringing her face down to the base of the pillar.
Then, she began to gently lick the boundary between the pillar and the wall with her tongue.
As I looked up, her eyes, filled with a natural, seductive gaze, met mine.
From noble mtl dot com
The pillar, now rigid, towered above her face, thanks to the sensory stimulation and visual excitement.
The response was pleasing, and Kayla’s eyes crinkled into a thin smile.
It was an expression rarely seen, one she only showed at night.
Her eyes sparkled with a seductive, alluring glint.
As we grew more comfortable with our physical intimacy, a new side of her began to emerge, one that was different from the first night we spent together.
She said, with my erect penis in front of her, “It seems like it’s been a while, given the quick response. You seem to enjoy the current service, so would you like to have me take it out with my mouth one more time before we head to bed?”
Kayla said it was okay to ask her to do it on her face if I wanted to.
At the same time, I thought she was trying to get me to do it, and I shook my head.
