The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away

10. Parents Overcome Children?

Balak was the first to explain in a rather firm tone.

“Elijah. It is not allowed for any reason. Even with your consent, it is impossible.”

You are right.

No matter how much you saved Elijah, there is something good.

I am a lowly citizen, an outsider, and a young man, but I can’t have him stay at my daughter’s house.

Besides, I have already stayed for several days in the annex of this mansion.

Although it is because of the purpose of being a moon deer, that alone is an undeserved privilege.

However, Elijah’s stubbornness was stubborn.

“If I want to do it, I will do it.”

“It’s not something that can be done that way. Even if this is your mansion. I cannot allow you to keep that by your side.”

“Why? Among the male servants who do all sorts of chores, isn’t there only one like Yuda?”

“They are just servants. It is different from that.”

“Okay. Then I will hire this child as a servant for my mansion.”

… Yes?

“Isn’t it enough to be a candidate and a servant who goes to and from the training center?”

Uh….

I think it makes sense….

Can’t you?

“Haa…. Elijah. You wouldn’t know now that the claim is far-fetched. If you are intelligent, you will know better.”

“I don’t know.”

Elijah crossed her arms and gave a timid reply.

Her balak rubbed her forehead as if she was in trouble.

It looks like a person who is about to have a daughter who has reached puberty.

The track record is disgusting, but on the surface, it’s just something.

“Stop the bullsh*t!”

The Duchess of Narsisi, who had been silent, shouted.

“Why are you acting so ridiculously like a child!”

That’s… Elijah is a child….

She had a lot to say, but she held back.

“I didn’t educate you to look like you!”

“Aha. Well, the Marquis of Sardis was also an excellent teacher selected by the Duchess.”

Narcissi bit his lip.

Balak waited patiently for the Duchess’ answer.

An attitude of waiting to see what he will say.

I glanced at Elijah.

She is the one who was trembling even at the time of the incident.

She must have suffered just to put that name on her lips, but a cool smile bloomed on her face.

Her doll-like smile.

It’s the same as usual, but she looks like a mask because of her mood.

“About that… ! I am aware of my mistakes and I am admitting them. But this work and that work are different! I cannot allow it!”

“If you can’t allow it.”

Elijah leaned back in her chair.

Cross her legs, cross her arms arrogantly.

She lifts her chin with a fishy smile and looks down at Narcissus.

‘This posture… You’ve been doing it since you were little.’

This is the look Elijah often displayed when despising her opponent.

“What are you going to do? What can the Duchess do? Are you going to kill me?”

“You… !”

“I told you. Duchess. If you’re complacent, you can’t achieve anything. I wonder if it’s a little too late to kill him….”

Elijah stretched out her words and tilted her head.

The eyes of her looking up are slowly dyed with different colors.

“To kill, now might be the right time. Now, if you haven’t fully mastered this power yet.”

Her orange colors converge like a whirlwind, gleaming within the red irises.

Its central pupil glows yellow gold.

“Elijah-!”

Her ballac thumps her desk! Fell down and stood up.

“What are you doing!”

There was also a scarlet light in his eyes.

The two wizards glared at each other fiercely.

“I just thought I should inform the Duchess. There is a time for everything, and if you miss it, it’s too late. The time to kill me is still passing moment by moment.”

Balak sighed deeply through her nose, her mouth tightly shut, and sat back down.

She is angry at Elijah’s sudden behavior, but her reaction seems to be complicated.

I’m complicated too, but it’s all the same.

Aside from her cheering for Ballack and Narcissi, Elijah’s words were uncomfortable.

I don’t even know if it’s okay for me to be part of a conversation like this.

Narcissus closed her mouth in resentment and Valak sighed and wiped her face.

A moment of silence.

I interjected cautiously.

“My lady. I’m sorry, but I think you two are right.”

“… What?”

“As you know, I am a lowly citizen. Being together will do nothing but harm to the lady’s reputation and reputation. Thank you for all the kindness you have given me… One….”

I stopped talking and kept my mouth shut.

Elijah was looking at me expressionlessly.

I feel like I’m stabbed in the eyes.

‘Don’t look at me with those crazy, unawakened eyes… ! It’s scary… !’

Is it okay to be intimidated by a 13-year-old girl?

It is.

Because the opponent is Elijah.

A wizard’s power does not discriminate against age.

“Why?”

Elijah suddenly leaned over to me.

Repeat the same words.

“Why?”

“Yes, yes?”

“I asked why.”

“Yeah, what those two said….”

“What do you think?”

“I….”

A scene that suddenly passes by.

The figure of Elijah hugging while whining.

I don’t know if she remembers it, but a weak side that happened to be revealed to me.

What does it mean when this scene comes to mind first than anything else?

“Thank you, but this is a very undeserved seat….”

“Not too much.”

Elijah cut me off.

Grabs her hand.

A warm, small hand carelessly.

“Don’t go.”

She couldn’t shake her hand.

Her face is calm and unconcerned as usual.

However, the power that held my hand was somehow desperate.

Is this power given intentionally?

Or was it that the power went into it without realizing it?

Ballack glared at her hand, which he was gripping with the intention of cutting my wrist.

“Elijah. Do you think there is no other way for me to touch you directly?”

Balak now took my comfort and threatened me.

Shrimps appear to burst in the whale fight.

Unlike me, who had headaches in many ways, Elijah was calm.

“Do it.”

No, don’t. Why did you decide….

“If you can.”

I look up at her feet with a bright smile.

As if to kill me, you have to overcome yourself.

There is still a mad fire in her eyes.

I’m the only one who gets caught in the middle.

Narcissus suddenly interrupted.

“Not only that! That openly insulted me in front of people!”

He points at me and says.

“I missed it because I was busy, but that should be punished appropriately! A sinner by your side….”

“I am not particularly interested in my wife’s honor….”

“Because we want to listen.”

I cut off Narcissus.

Unfortunately, it overlapped with Elijah’s remarks, but it was too late to back down.

I have already opened my mouth.

“I’ve been doing this and that since before, am I the object?”

I jumped up from my seat.

The three nobles looked up at me with puzzled expressions.

I shot at Narcissus among them.

“And the lady. Did I quarrel with you first? You put your nose in the sh*t first and sniffed it, so why are you blaming that sh*t?”

“Moo, what, again, poop, kobak….”

“And what else, what a teacher? Even if you close your mouth and stand on your head because you’re sorry, are you condescending to the plate that’s not enough? The one who even slapped the kid on the cheek?”

“… !”

Narsisi’s eyes widened.

As if you knew that.

Balak watched Narsisi’s reaction with narrow eyes.

It seems that he didn’t even know about this fact.

That pissed me off even more.

I know how much they hate being born out of wedlock.

That’s true, but you haven’t even checked how the kid is doing, and now you’re interfering.

“Mister, why do you watch as if you are not a human being?”

“… ?”

Now it’s Balak’s turn.

This nobleman is surprised in a relatively gentle way.

Your opponent is Ballack di Bebel.

Unlike the ordinary-looking Narcissus, he is a menacing wizard.

Elijah’s potential is excellent, but his current skill as a mage is far ahead of Balak’s.

Because he got to that place with that power.

For a lowly citizen like me, even making eye contact is disrespectful.

‘What can I do?’

It doesn’t matter to me.

It’s a grand duke, it’s a nabal, and if you act annoying, I can’t be nice.

“To tell you the truth, he was the one who saved the young lady. No matter how lowly it is, isn’t it a little too much treatment?

“Now, to me….”

“It’s not like I’m looking for a thank you or a reward. It’s something that you just have to discuss and notify among themselves, but why do you keep dragging me in and calling people for this or that?”

“Yes, you, bye, Lord, to die….”

Balak and Narcissus.

Both stare at me with their mouths wide open.

Cognitive dissonance is a facial expression.

Even that stupid expression annoys me.

I keep thinking about it.

They wouldn’t even know what Elijah was talking about in the morning.

Was that just one day yesterday? Indeed?

I tried hard to pretend I didn’t know.

How difficult and heavy it is to be responsible for others.

I can’t even comfort you with cheap sympathy.

Being pitiful, wanting to help, wanting to comfort.

He solves the problem for me, embraces it together, and gives advice.

Things like that. I’ve tried everything.

I’m as wide as a head, and if someone touches me, I turn over like a madman.

That wasn’t necessarily limited to me.

I used to run into them because I couldn’t overcome my temper like now.

I learned at that time that incompetent morality is selfishness.

It’s nothing less than hypocrisy.

Even so, that strange crying face is not forgotten and continues to come to mind.

I don’t like to hear the words that come out of her 13-year-old child’s mouth so carelessly as to kill herself.

The gym where I beat the players and worked.

Since it is close to the residential area, people of various ages used to come.

I worked for quite a long time and saw a lot of people, and there were many children among them.

What I remember is the children who had a poor family environment. Outgoing kids. I was depressed for some reason.

It was quite subtle when we became close and listened to each other.

I spend money to send my kid to the gym, but I don’t care.

Should I say neglect?

An environment in which emotional deficiency is felt, not economic poverty.

It’s not that I didn’t have good parents.

But the only thing that comes to mind is that it overlaps with the current situation….

‘Why do you think of this… !’

My head is a mess.

Confused.

Elijah burns people to death.

And Elijah hugged while crying.

Two types of figures rise like haze.

Overlapped, then separated. Repeat

Who is Elijah?

“Isn’t it embarrassing to be a parent now, after neglecting how the child is doing? Yes?”

If I didn’t tell you, I felt frustrated and would one day collapse with a vase.

Because I’m not the type to live patiently.

After spitting it out, I realized that it was Elijah’s defense.

“Poop!”

At that time, laughter broke out next to me.

Looking around, Elijah covered her mouth and laughed.

She even had tears in the corners of her eyes as if she was having so much fun.

“Oh, this is really….”

Elijah said, pressing the back of her hand to her eyes.

“It’s a completely unexpected pleasure.”

She looked at me and painted her cool smile.

“I’ve never even imagined seeing a scenery like this in my life.”

A clear smile without pretense took my gaze away for a moment.

“Did you hear that? Grandee. Duchess.”

Elijah smiled at the two of them.

It’s an expression of composure.

“This child is mine.”

… Suddenly?

Why such a conclusion?

“People are not things….”

“This is over. Rather, you should have called it yesterday.”

Narcissus was still dumbfounded, just opening her mouth like a crucian carp.

She looked at Balak with her eyes begging for help.

But Balak was also similar to Narcissus.

“The Archduke?”

Balak looked at me as if he was seeing something bizarre, and then brushed her face.

Take care of your voice.

“Yes, I did. First, several clues were obtained. To begin with, Sardis’ guilt was revealed. But.”

Strength returned to Balak’s eyes.

“That guy is suspicious doesn’t change.”

Surely, at that time, I, who was staying in the outbuilding, happened to find Sardis.

I think it’s a staggering coincidence.

“Let’s talk about verifiable facts, not context.”

Elijah spread out her short fingers, and she folded them one by one.

“One, Sardis tried to harm me. Two, Judas stopped it. Third, if Judas hadn’t been there, I don’t know what would have happened.”

Elijah stared at her Balak as if he wanted to say more.

Balak clenched his teeth.

I heard a loud voice.

“Elijah…. Do you really have no intention of giving up?”

“Not at all.”

“Haa…. Whoa….”

Balak gently closes her eyes and lets out a deep sigh.

Then she slowly opens her eyes.

I could feel the deep fatigue in his sunken eyes.

He said like a sigh.

“… I’m not going to explain yesterday’s events to the guests.”

It was a de facto declaration of defeat.

“Sure.”

Balak rose from his seat.

Narcissi is also the same.

There was an air of reluctance to leave.

She seemed to realize that in no way could she convince Elijah.

There is no parent who wins the child.

I am realizing that maxim in an unwanted way.

Before leaving, Balak looked down at me and muttered.

“I will keep an eye on it. I will always remember you.”

Are you still fighting until the end?

I fought back without losing.

“I envy you for your excellent memory.”

At that, Elijah laughed again.

It is a clear smile, like a bird chirping.

Balak asked, frowning.

My voice became stronger than before.

“You can’t believe that Elijah is by your side? Believing that that child is your backwater to protect you?”

This is absurd.

“I would never have wished for a strong support like that of a young lady in my life.”

I don’t know how many times in my previous life I was sad because I didn’t have a belly.

Can’t count.

But what and how?

I defiantly glared at Ballack.

He frowned, then let out a sigh and just walked away.

As if it’s a headache to deal with.

Honestly, it was rude to the point where I couldn’t say anything even if I died.

It is all thanks to Elijah that I bought it.

But, I didn’t really believe in Elijah.

Even if Elijah hadn’t been there, I would have said what I had to say.

I would have died.

“It’s amazing.”

After a long laugh, Elijah stared at me with her chin resting on her chin.

“How can I pick and choose what satisfies me so much?”

What am I…. Anyway….

I just got caught because it was a fight, and because it pissed me off, I just ran into it….

“You are like a person prepared for me.”

I don’t get excited at all even if I have to hear that from a child.

I just thought it was a really arrogant and aristocratic remark.

I was puzzled by one thing.

This mansion. User here.

Her Even though she is her illegitimate son, all of her are prepared for her.

But why me….

“By the way, do you have multiple lives?”

“Not really.”

I just don’t like things that arbitrarily define and oppress me.

At one point, people close to that range were also included.

Sometimes, even strangers who seem to need help.

Now….

“Did you really want a belly like mine?”

“… Yes? What? Ah?”

Uh. Wait for a sec.

Isn’t that what you meant?

“There’s nothing I can’t do.”

“That doesn’t mean….”

“By the way, you. I can’t get out of here even if I want to.”

Balak and Narsisi were defeated.

In the end, I came to follow Elijah’s will.

I had neither the authority nor the power to refuse.

‘Even if not immediately, there will be a chance to escape. Because I have to go out to and from the training center. It will be easier if the information guild helps….’

As I calmed down, Elijah stared at me.

Fantastic fire met eyes that were still active.

She looks at me obsessively, then she smiles terribly.

Like mocking my attitude of giving up and trying to accept the situation.

As if I didn’t bring this up just to point out the fact that I ended up living here.

“You have to live here from now on.”

I reflexively swallowed.

Your body stiffens like a frog facing a snake right in front of you.

A familiar smile to me.

A dangerous laugh.

It’s as if there’s poison in his laughing voice.

“If you leave.”

Elijah stood up from her chair.

Step by step, calmly, slowly, approaching.

“You.”

At last, just one step away, she grinned.

“I will die.”

The image of Elijah, who had troubled her heart, disappeared as if it had been burned.

A homicidal maniac and a pyromaniac.

The rarest wicked woman Elijah I knew was in front of her eyes.

‘Why all of a sudden… ?!’

I don’t know the reason, but I know the conclusion.

‘You have to stand out… !’
