What the Hero Wanted Was Me

Episode 8

Episode 8.

The hero approaching Arya was giving off the scent of Lenny.

‘Why does Lenny’s scent…’

Arya was overcome with her doubts, but she immediately learned why she smelled like Lenny.

“Hello, princess”

ㅡ Kwakak.

The warrior Eren took Lenny’s arm towards her and greeted her princess.

The reason Lenny’s scent comes from her. How long has she been stuck in a place where she is not confident that she smells the same like that?

Indescribable emotions swirled in Princess Arya’s heart. It is as if the scent of a strange woman comes from her ex-boyfriend. She was feeling such a strange feeling.

“Oh, princess. Your complexion doesn’t look good. Are you okay?”

Eren asked casually. She was a warrior who knew that Lenny’s expression had deteriorated when she saw Lenny attached to her.

‘Received a compliment from the teacher…? Even I’ve never been like that…?’

When he defeated the demon king, he was the one who didn’t even say that he praised me. It was natural for him to feel jealous of the princess who received such compliments from Lenny.

The situation of the two ran from one pole to the other, and they were aware of that fact.

‘I really don’t get along with him.’

It was a thought that passed through their heads as they met their eyes.

“It’s okay, I remembered the thief who stole my things for a moment…”

She was an aria who spoke with a soft smile.

‘Something…Something happens..!’

Lenny came to understand the war of nerves going on between them.

However, just as there are things that cannot be prevented despite knowing about them, the current situation was like that. It was impossible to stop this fight with Lenny’s power.

“A thief in the imperial castle? That’s a big deal..”

At Arya’s words, Lenny was Eren pulling her closer as if he were his.

“Yes, it’s a really big deal. It’s a really absurd story that a thief who doesn’t even know the subject broke into the imperial castle.. Isn’t that right, hero?”

“Have you searched for stolen items? It’s not a bad idea to search your room as you may have lost them.”

They were having a heated discussion over the stolen item. I didn’t understand it well as I was listening to the sound, but I could understand that Aria was unfair for losing something.

‘That woman is annoying.’

Arya was no match for Eren’s verbal fight. She was the one who was taken away because it was a fight she had no choice but to lose no matter what she said. She was an aria who never forgot the humiliation of the day.

“The atmosphere of the song has changed..?”

While Aria and her princess were talking, the music in the banquet hall began to change into a slow but upbeat tune.

That meant it was time for her to keep her promise she had made with Eren.

“Lenny, dance with me!”

She was an aria that spoke excitedly at the thought of dancing with me. Her dance partner has always been me, so she said it naturally.

“I’m sorry, Princess.”

“I’m going to dance with you. I’ll go first, princess~”

Eren clung to me with a seductive smile, grabbed my arm and dragged me toward the center of her dance space.

“Huh..?”

She was left there, and it took Arya a few seconds to understand that she had been left behind.

Was there ever such a humiliating day? It was Aria that her vengeance against her hero and her obsession with Lenny intensified.

I’ll take Lenny away no matter what.

That was Arya’s best revenge and the happiest way she pursued.

‘I don’t care anymore.’

It was the moment when Arya vowed that she would use any means to achieve her goal.

A large number of people gathered in the center of the banquet hall. Some of them danced, while others did not.

There, Laysha, Cyana and Sera belonged to the non-dancing side.

‘Something embarrassing’

Dancing in front of them. I felt a bit embarrassed, but the warrior next to me was showing an okay expression, so the feeling of embarrassment quickly disappeared.

“Then, thank you.”

“Yes, warrior.”

With that answer as a signal to start, we started moving our bodies to the music.

ㅡ Ttogak. Again.

Dancing was something I hadn’t done in a long time. Even more so when Arya is not the opponent. For Eren, she was taller than Aria, so it was not easy to adjust to the subtle differences in the way she danced.

“You can’t dance very well.”

It was true. It was an excuse to not be able to play because of the height difference. Originally, I was a body that couldn’t dance.

“Thank you for your help..”

I just followed Eren’s steps, relying on her movements.

Obviously, Eren was a warrior, so she had a talent for using her body. Since she was not from a noble family, she didn’t have a period of learning to dance, so it was short, but she danced much better than I did.

Eren was leading me and controlling her mood. It could be seen that the teacher and disciple were reversed.

“What are you doing! Put your feet back there!”

Eren must have been very happy with this situation as well.

I wanted to say that the word “Jugaekjeondo” Just means the current situation.

“Kyaaak!”

In the meantime, Eren was so excited that he stepped on my foot and was about to fall. She was in pain as the heel of her shoe had taken my foot, but that didn’t matter now.

“Thank you sir..”

She even called me teacher as if she was too embarrassed to slip.

ㅡWow!

What is it?

I looked around and saw people watching

They started shouting and applauding us.

At that moment, I noticed that the sound of the music we were moving in sync with was gone, and I remembered what my current posture was like.

The state of holding onto Eren’s waist as he was about to fall and facing her face.

It was to take the same posture as for the climax of the music.

People misunderstood it because it was a romantic situation that they were aiming for, and each person who saw the scene had a different impression.

‘I’m envious… Someday I’ll…!’

Envy to some.

‘The reason why you chose a human man as your reward was love? This crazy b*tch…!?’

Anger to some.

‘What emotion is that feeling…?’

Some ask questions.

‘That was originally my seat’

What makes this jealous.

Even though each other’s feelings were different, there was a fact that never changed.

They were more beautiful than anyone else in the room, and Eren had a happy face as if he had the whole world.

The dance heated up the banquet hall and interest in us increased, so Eren and I moved to a deserted terrace to take refuge in a deserted place.

“Are your feet okay?”

“Oh, it’s okay now”

It wasn’t okay at all. It hurt so much that I wondered if I had a bruise from a sharp heel, but I couldn’t answer that it hurt here, so I said it was okay.

“Uh, the tone…?”

I couldn’t pretend I didn’t know anymore. It was because it didn’t seem like her way to be a human to tell her lies to her dancing and making such a happy face.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Eren.”

The plan to escape from the Empire went a long way, but she couldn’t make Eren wait any longer. Because she had already been caught in the first place.

“…The teacher is bad.”

I didn’t expect such a reaction. Eren continued.

“Do you know how much I wanted to meet you? It was my wish from four years ago. I was really looking forward to it.”

Listening to Eren’s expectations in front of her like this made me feel like the world’s bad guy.

“But the teacher broke my expectations and trampled on me. It’s really bad!”

ㅡ Tuk Tuk

Eren clenched her fist and pounded my chest. Her fists didn’t hurt because she controlled her strength, but her heart ached as she contained the emotions she felt sad about.

“I’m sorry…”

“Does it end with just words?”

I was speechless at her question. What should I do to make her feel better? Her letters conveyed little information and only told her what to do, so she had no idea what to do for her.

“You taught me something I didn’t know and changed my life.”

“Take responsibility.”

In that moment, I felt Eren’s warmth covering my lips. It was a short moment, but the temperature of her lips seemed to be transmitted to me.

“What.. What..!”

“I made it clear! Take responsibility!”

After her one-sided notice, the brave Eren turned around and fled from the terrace with her face blushing. What’s going on with this…?

I didn’t understand, but one thing was certain.

‘Black-headed beasts weren’t harvested…’

The words of the ancient ancestors were never wrong. Eren was thinking of eating me for raising her.

I walked out of the terrace and into the banquet hall, thinking that I had to escape the empire before I was eaten.

At that time, the seed of a new emotion began to sprout for a woman who was secretly watching it.
