What the Hero Wanted Was Me - Chapter 2



Episode 2

Episode 2.

“I want you”

The thin finger of the warrior was pointing at me.

“To think I chose Hendrick, the 2nd Prince. I pay tribute to the warrior’s discernment.”

Suddenly, Hendrick, who was sitting next to me, got up with his blushing face and started praising the warrior’s eyes.

What, I thought it was me. The finger appeared to point at Hendrick.

“No, I’m talking about the butler next to you.”

ㅡ Pooh-up..

Hendrick, who went out on his own and made a mistake, became the laughingstock of the nobles, and he sat down again with the legs he had stood up on.

“Hero, do you want Lenny, the princess’s attendant, as a reward?”

“Yes, I want him.”

Even the emperor stepped forward and confirmed that he had been killed.

It wasn’t a misunderstanding, the hero said he really wanted me.

Why the hell? Could it be that he found out that the unidentified sponsor was me?

The moment I was thinking about it, I noticed that people became very fussy.

I looked around to get a feel for the atmosphere, and it was clear from the nobles that they were bewildered, and it was a natural reaction.

ㅡWho is that attendant?

I was just Princess Arya’s attendant, and I wasn’t even known to people.

Judging by the current situation, it is like a popular celebrity grabbing a passing office worker and making a public confession.

In an instant, I became a shining star in this place.

‘It’s a big deal.’

This is not what I was hoping for.

A warrior chooses money as a reward and lives happily ever after with that money.

That was what I was hoping for and the ideal use of the reward. But me as a reward? It was nonsense.

At that moment, Arya’s heart was on fire with anger.

‘I don’t even know that topic…’

Arya didn’t like the hero who was trying to take Lenny away from her and was very angry.

‘No, stay calm… Arya You can do it. I should be praised by Lenny after it’s over.’

Arya opened her closed mouth and began to speak her calmly.

“Soldier, in the age we live in, slavery has long since been abolished, and it is undesirable to speak of people as objects.”

Contrary to her calm tone, her heart bubbling up in her heart, but she was an aria that she barely endured.

‘How dare you cross mine? Lenny is mine.’

She was a princess who regarded Lenny more than anyone else as her property.

“I didn’t ask Princess Arya. I just want to hear the hero’s answer.”

The emperor said firmly.

Say no more.

She was saying that to Arya.

“But…”

“I don’t want to say the same thing twice.”

Arya tried to speak unfairly, but she couldn’t get through to the emperor.

He was an emperor who did not hesitate to speak.

“Eren, asking for someone as compensation is against the teachings of the Goddess. How about money instead?”

It was fortunate that there was a normal person other than Arya.

The faithful saintess scolded the hero for not doing the right thing.

‘Just, someone save me…’

Anyone was fine. I just wished they wouldn’t live as slaves.

“I’m asking for half of the money in the treasury.. Huh? How is it?”

The saintess’ golden eyes were shining even more.

She was just a saint who seemed to care as long as she gave her money.

“I have no intention of changing the reward.”

The warrior was stronger than anyone else.

Despite the fierce opposition of the warrior party, the warrior eventually chose me as a reward.

No matter what the party members said, she was a tree that stood firm. She has absolutely nothing to fall for.

“Lenny, I feel sorry for you. Sacrifice that one body for the Empire.”

“…”

That was the point.

It’s cheaper to throw one of me to a warrior than to give money. It was the judgment of the emperor who always thought of the empire.

After all, I’m also a member of the warrior’s party. It was unfair, but I couldn’t say anything. Just because I’m a commoner.

“Now! As the hero’s reward, Lenny! The princess’s attendant has been chosen!!”

ㅡ Wow!!

It was the scene of human rights violations.

This place feels like being dragged into an old slave auction.

I was taken as a reward for the warrior party.

It was a strange situation that the warrior party had 4 people when they entered, but 5 people when they left.

‘Don’t go Lenny…’

Arya had no choice but to watch it.

•••

That’s how I was brought to the mansion where the warrior party lived. Still, I didn’t feel like a complete slave because my hands and feet were not tied.

“Eren, why did you bring this person?”

‘Sure, why did you bring me here?’

After arriving at the mansion, a woman with pointed ears gathered in the lobby and asked the hero on my behalf.

It was very nice timing. Is it true that I was curious too?

“The mansion is large. Wouldn’t you need a butler?”

“…”

Including the warrior’s party, I came to understand the feeling of being speechless.

Aren’t there experiences that are so absurd that you are speechless? It was just like that now.

“No!! If that’s the case, I’d rather spend the money and hire a butler!!”

It was a saintess who shouted how angry she was.

The other two also seemed angry, but they quickly subdued her saintess as if they thought it was an urgent priority to stop her.

“Let go of this..!! I will kill the hero and attain Buddhahood..!!”

She was a saint who was easily subdued by an elven archer with pointy ears, perhaps because her physical abilities were low compared to her ability to scream.

“Be still, idiot! Have you seen Eren act without thinking? Sometimes he does things that don’t make sense, but the results are good.”

Still, the elf girl understood the hero to what extent she was trusted by the party.

From noble mtl dot com

ㅡ Chirit!

“Don’t get me wrong. I have no intention of being nice to you.”

“Oh yes…”

It was an elf who didn’t know which rhythm to play.

ㅡ Talk Talk

I turned around when I felt a tap on my shoulder, and before I knew it, a warrior was behind me.

“Follow me, I need to sign a contract.”

“Yes… A contract?”

“You have to work as a butler for our mansion.”

Are you serious?

It seems she really brought me in to be her butler.

I followed the hero and walked out to where she guided her.

‘The Holy Sword is wonderful.’

In the back of the warrior, the holy sword hanging from her waist caught my eye the most, and it was a proud moment to think that she found it thanks to me.

“Come in.”

The room the hero led seemed to be her own room. Her room consisted of a simple desk, chair, and bed, and we could see her heroic personality in that room.

‘You grew up well..’

A frugal life without extravagance. I saw that I was living the life I wrote down in my letter as the motto.

ㅡKikkiik.. Boom!

The warrior closed the door anxiously and approached me with a big smile as if nothing had happened.

“Hero! What are you doing!”

All she did when she came up to me was sniff her. That’s my smell too.

“Stay still.”

So all I could do was stand still without making a sound.

‘No way, are you trying to eat me…?’

I wondered if they were actually eating me alive, not metaphorically.

Are you eaten by the warrior I raised?

‘Is this the helmsman…’

Thankfully, however, the hero didn’t seem to want to eat me.

The hero stopped sniffing her and opened the drawer of her desk.

ㅡKikiiik..

There were letters littering the drawers. Didn’t I send that?

The hero brought the letter to me and showed it to me, so it was definitely the letter I sent.

“How are you with the owner of this letter?”

She questioned me about the same smell on her stationery.

The reason for the smell of stationery was related to my insomnia.

In the second half of the original story, even though the hero is tired, he can’t sleep. There was a cure for the warrior who was exhausted as the situation continued.

The white rose that blooms in the north is ground and burned.

The scent gave off a subtle scent, and was effective for people who couldn’t sleep even though they were tired, and it was a way to make them feel that they had a good night’s sleep even in a short amount of time.

I changed the font and wrote it carefully, but I hadn’t thought of the scent.

“Answer me!”

The warrior squeezed the letter in her hand and spoke expectantly.

Even when she usually exchanged letters with her, she said that she wanted to see me once.

However, I cannot respond to that expectation.

‘Sorry, Eren’

“What is that..?”

I decided to do my best to pretend I didn’t know.

I still had the idea of escaping the Empire, so if I confessed that I was an unknown supporter here, I would never be able to escape.

‘It’s hard to avoid even one of the princess’s eyes, but if you become a hero, it’ll be a big deal.’

I was still thinking of leaving the Empire.

“…”

The hero looked at me without saying a word. The eyes were slightly moist.

‘If expectations are high, disappointment is big..’

“Okay. If you say no, then no.”

“I’ll just watch.”

She didn’t seem to have any intention of putting her doubts to rest. He probably thought I was an unknown benefactor or his limbs.

‘But how did you classify them by scent?’

Lenny could never know that the reason why the hero chose Lenny as a reward was that the holy sword, not the incense, was involved.

“Then, to the point, please become the butler of our mansion.”

“Yes?”

It was an embarrassing request to me.
