Chapter 480 – 17. Oberon’s Sword, Lilia, an Unknown and Poisonous Sword Master
‘What is this?’
At a moment when I thought I had crossed the line and was horrified, Medea only scolded me with kind eyes, but she did not show any sign of restraint or disgust.
‘It was strangely friendly… ‘
If you think about it, Medea has always been like that. She had a strange way of leaning on me or clinging to me.
But I am anxious.
A man who looks like a great wizard is doing me a favor for an unknown reason. At some point, she took off her hood and cuddled up next to her, and she answered various questions without showing any signs of annoyance.
… Huh?
She took off her hood, but Medea’s face, hair, and eye color did not appear in her mind.
I vaguely remember that she was a beauty, but the memory is blurry.
Well, it’s probably not that important. There’s no way a close associate of someone like Oberon would do anything. Even if something happens, it’s my fault for not being careful.
While I was walking, wondering if there was any damage, I found the largest and strongest-looking tent among the rows of tents.
-Chuck, Chuck.
As we approached the tent, two knights approached with their spears raised slightly away from the tent entrance.
After looking at the two who were closer to me than Lilia, I made an estimate and took out the urgent report sent by Oberon and approached the entrance.
“Jeongji, who are you?”
“Um, you?”
A knight staring at me with blazing eyes beyond the helmet cover and a knight whose eyes are round as if he recognizes me.
The knight with his helmet raised blinked his eyes with a plain expression on his face. Thinking that I had seen this face somewhere, I recalled my memory and realized that it was the face of the knight I had seen when clearing out Remia and Leriel.
Seeing that the guy also remembered, it seemed like he didn’t have any memory problems yet.
“It’s been a while, Sir Cassano, thank you for your support.”
He pretended to be a simple man who created space by straightening the intersecting windows, but there was still one window blocking the entrance.
“The prince ordered no one to come in today. Go back.”
“Oh, yes. I understand what you mean, but the prince has sent an urgent message. Let’s just go in… “
“I told you to go back, I won’t say it again.”
This guy?
Eyes that naturally narrow, burning eyes, and the tip of a spear that trembles, I have seen this type of thing many times.
I don’t know, but the people who had an inferiority complex and hated me would crawl out like cockroaches and interfere with what I was doing.
If you beat up this guy here, Oberon’s reputation will definitely be tarnished.
I had heard at first glance that a duel between knights who could legally capture a sword was the right thing to do, but considering his physical condition, there seemed no need to gamble.
I wish I could just get out of the way.
When I reached for the handle of the sword at my waist, Susuna stiffened, but the bastard who blocked me began to show excitement in his eyes.
“I thought he was just a mercenary who would leave, but he seems to have some pride.”
“It’s not pride, it’s because I have the courage to slit the throat of a traitor who disobeys the prince’s orders.”
Oops, this sarcasm came naturally out of frustration. Even though it was covered by the helmet cover, it was clearly visible that the veins were sprouting from the knight’s eyes.
If all goes well, I’ll have to beat him up and go in. Bowing down in front of someone who looks down on me and going in won’t be good for Oberon’s reputation. At that time, as he held onto the handle of his sword with a self-suggestion, the knight put away his spear first and took a step back with a sigh.〈 Br〉
“… No matter how urgent it may be, we cannot disobey the prince’s orders. As soon as a new order or permission is given, I will give you a message.”
An offer to call Oberon right away if he is looking for it. Just when I was about to take his hand away, thinking he would give up, a sarcastic voice pierced my ears.
“Well, if you don’t have anything to do in the meantime, I heard you need someone to help repair the front lines with the soldiers over there, or repair the wooden fence to the east. That would be perfect.”
This guy is putting on a fight.
-Kaa!
He drew his sword like water and cut down the pole of the spear. The embarrassed knight quickly stretched out his hand and pushed the sword half-stuck on the spear with his gauntlet, generating mana.
Then, I don’t hesitate either.
At the same time, it generates mana and surrounds the body. As if the sword were digging deeper and deeper into the pole, the gauntlet was dented, and the knight grunted, making a dirty sound as he attempted a struggle of strength.
Just as I was about to cut off my hand with the gauntlet, a sonorous voice separated us.
“Cassano? Is it you?”
“No… !”
“Yes, Prince, I received urgent news and rushed over.”
When I cut off the urgent voice and answered, I heard the sound of bouncing footsteps.
“Hmm! “Big, big flaw, suction, let it come in.”
Oberon forces his voice from sonorous to serious and commands them to come in.
I pushed the knight who was shaking his shoulders with my shoulder and kicked the end of the spear on the floor with my foot.
“Clean out the window.”
When I smiled, the knight trembled, shaking his dented gauntlets. Even so, there was nothing that guy could do.
As I scratched my strangely damp chest and lifted the cloth covering the entrance, I made eye contact with Oberon, who was sitting on a chair with a neat posture and holding a teacup.
“Prince, are you okay?”
“Ah, thank you so much for coming, I was the one who called you, right? Ka, Cassano… !”
“Yes?”
“Blood, isn’t there blood?”
“Ah.”
Red blood comes out when I raise my right hand. When I glance back, I see dark red blood stuck to the floor, just like the prints of my boots.
As mana was generated, the wound opened and the blood that had stopped for a while seemed to flow. I made a joke to Oberon while secretly covering my holey boots and stab wounds on my chest.
“Haha, sorry. “You have defiled the prince’s bedroom.”
“What does it have to do with dirtying your bed… ! “I know you didn’t mean to say that!”
“It’s a joke. You don’t have to worry so much… “
“I knew there was a fight, but I didn’t know there were such serious injuries… ! Why did Medea leave without saying anything? Haha, if I come back right away… “
“Ah… “
Looking at Oberon’s flushed face, it looked like he was about to lash out. However, Medea’s devastated face suddenly came to mind, and I begged Oberon to take her side.
“Madame Medea left very quickly. Since you have a lot of work to do, the prince thinks leniently. “Just treat this wound, and it’s enough.”
“… If you say that, I have nothing to say… “
I heard that Oberon is strangely hard on people. I suddenly thought about Medea’s face again and tilted my head as her expression became blurry again.
Sometimes it comes to mind, sometimes it’s blurry – what kind of joke is this? I’ll have to ask her what’s going on when I see her later.
“I’m going to help you heal right away, honey – just sit here.”
Before I could stop him, Oberon grabbed my wrist and pushed me onto the chair. It was difficult for her to refuse, so Oberon knelt down on her knees and with quick movements took off her boots and began to tilt her potion bottle, which she didn’t know where she had taken it from.
-Chii profit… !
“Ugh.”
“Just wait a little longer.”
The 4th prince, a man who would be ranked 5th in the empire, kneels down and pours the potion on her.
It was clear that if anyone saw me, they would call me crazy and hit my head. There was even a gorilla nearby that was capable of doing such a thing.
“If someone sees it, it’s obvious they’ll hit me in the head. “If this gets into Mr. Mo’s ears, I will be cut into pieces.”
“What? Haha… !”
Oberon lets out a refreshing laugh and strokes the completely healed instep.
Why are you looking at me wistfully while gently stroking the boy with the tip of your index finger?
At the thought of a man acting like that, even though he was the prince I served, I had a harsh thought for a moment, so I lifted Oberon up from his knees and brought him to eye level.
“Lower your posture… “I don’t know what to do with the prince’s grace.”
“You, while I haven’t seen you, you’ve started talking a lot. “I will miss you in your raw form.”
Oberon’s facial expression looks somewhat vague. Fuck – he’s not gay. Why does he keep acting like that and making that face?
The man’s strange interest is likely to be too burdensome. I took off my coat and snatched the potion bottle from Oberon’s hand.
“Oh, let me help you…” Kyaaa?!”
Patter, I tear off the tattered shirt with my free hand. Buttons falling to the floor and shirt completely tattered. From my collarbone to my lower chest, I gave Ben Haren a long, albeit shallow cut, and immediately poured the potion into the cut.
“Hyaaa… “
“Yes?”
The potion flows down the collarbone and along the muscles.
When I raised my head at the sound of a sigh coming from out of nowhere, I saw Oberon covering his lower abdomen with both hands, looking the other way.
“No, I’m just tired. It was just a yawn.”
What is this guy talking about?
However, if I mentioned it to his face, he would easily lose his head, so I pretended not to hear it for the sake of Oberon, who was embarrassed.
-Gulp.
The wound healed in an instant, emitting white smoke, the solid muscles regained their appearance as if nothing had happened, and it was uncomfortable to see the abs getting wet and slightly shiny from the lightly flowing potion. As I roughly wiped my abs with the hem of my shirt, I heard another gulp sound.
“… “I guess you’re hungry.”
“Um, ah, um, I see. I didn’t eat. By the way, the potion worked well, and it healed quickly.”
“Ha, it’s embarrassing if you stare too hard.”
“No! I didn’t look closely. Ha, there’s no way I can look at a man’s muscles that closely. “I thought I was very well-trained because it was firmer and more contoured than I thought. That’s right, I was looking at it out of envy!”
Oberon has an unusually long tongue for someone who didn’t look at him closely. After roughly adjusting the hem of my shirt, I thought Oberon’s words made sense and shook my head in agreement.
That’s because when I was an anchovy on Earth, I was most envious of people who were good at sports.
Well, I ended up like this because I was training to survive here, and I thought that if I go back to Earth, I’ll turn back to an anchovy again.
“And, huh? How about seeing the guys among themselves! It’s not like it’s worn out, and you’re doing too much.”
Oberon gets angry and rushes towards him, as if he is being stabbed alone for no reason. When I laughed at the sight of a cat getting annoyed at having its tail stepped on, Oberon fidgeted, put his hands together and avoided my gaze.
No, why do you look so girly today?
As I continued to watch him whine, the desire to tease Oberon grew. As I saw him adjusting the hem of his uniform, I thought of a way to show him off as Oberon’s outsider.
“Then would you please show me what the prince’s body looks like?”
“Huh?!!”
