Chapter 39 – A High Elf’s First Love (1)
=================
Ardena was still unsure whether or not she loved Yushin as a man.
From the first time I met her, I liked her.
Even in the overwhelmingly unfavorable situation, the appearance of her fighting while evacuating her subordinates was a noble knight that even Ardena admired.
She held him captive. The mighty of the kingdom of Valois, who was called the Seven Swords of the Kingdom. If it were this human, he might teach her sister about the sword, as well as valor and honor. So, Ardena kept Yushin as a slave until she made an irrational number. And from then on, he began to develop unknown feelings.
‘Kill me!’
The high elf warrior chief who had been defeated in a duel shouted. The Kingdom Knight answered her cry.
‘You didn’t do your best either. You didn’t activate the power of the armor on purpose, did you? Because I didn’t have that sword. Neither of us did our best. It’s a pity to end it like this.’
Ardena, who was lying in bed, opened her eyes with the voice of the kingdom knight that existed in her thoughts.
It was already morning.
Not like Ardena, who always wakes up at dawn to train swordsmanship, she overslept. Although, of course, she woke up earlier than Alone, even if she overslept.
“Haam.”
The high elf warrior-chief spread his arms and stretched him.
She was wearing pajamas.
Pajamas with cute patterns on a blue background.
Ardena has always been a female knight who only shows a thorough and thorough look, but she actually likes cute and dainty things. This pajama was also one of her tastes. She had a habit of always wearing pajamas whenever she went to bed.
“I’m sorry…”
She gasped when Ardena, who was rubbing her eyes cutely, saw the black pantyhose on her desk.
Last night’s work.
She was proof that she was never a dream.
She remembers well The excited groans of the high elves and the fishy semen of humans. And her own heart, which she clumsily tried to suppress. Even though she woke up, her head was still confused about what had happened last night.
‘Please don’t face me…! Even today, no, for as long as possible! How can I look at your face!’
Ardena, who was changing her clothes, stared into her mirror, trying to calm her flushed face.
She fastened her belt.
And while tying the laces of her boots tightly, she tried to shake off the work of last night as much as possible.
But she couldn’t easily forget her memory of last night. How comfortable would it be if you could forget your memories just because you were told to forget them? But that is impossible. Moreover, the high elf’s memory was so good that he could clearly remember things from 100 years ago. Perhaps even 100 years from now, Ardena will kick back the covers as she recalls those days.
“Hello, lady. Are you late today? Of course, there are times when I am late. It’s been a long time since you showed me a gap, so I’m relieved.”
After she opened the door, she was met by an elf maid.
Ardena asked her, nodding her head at her maid’s greeting.
“What about Alone?”
“You are eating.”
“I have to leave right now.”
“Well, the meal is…”
“I’ll take care of it later!”
Seeing Ardena’s haste, the elf maid tilted her head.
No matter how busy I was, I always had breakfast with Alone. Ardena’s attempt to skip breakfast even though she had no reason to rush was suspicious.
“Good morning.”
“…..”
Luck was not on Ardena’s side.
As she hurriedly left her castle, Ardena finished her morning training and she came face to face with her Yushin who entered the hall.
“Yeah, yes.”
She tried to get past her Yushin as it was.
If it was her usual, she would have returned the greeting, but she didn’t have the courage to face her face with Yushin.
It is best to leave now. Ardena, who faced Yushin head-on with her, chose her avoidance. She was an uncharacteristic response from a high elf who never turned her back no matter how powerful the enemy attacked.
“You look busy, good job.”
Yushin said that and held Ardena’s hand.
She kissed the back of her hand.
Ardena, who hurriedly tried to escape from her restorative touch, froze on the spot.
Her heart was pounding madly. It is to the point of doubting whether she will explode as it is. Her heart was beating so hard that if Ardena was older, she might have collapsed from heart problems.
“Oh yeah…”
Ardena responded to Yushin’s kiss on the back of her hand and hurriedly left her castle.
* * *
Ardena was in a good mood today.
It was to the point that her men would be tolerant of any mishaps.
Ardena, who was briefed by the Knights of Helen Wood assigned to her command, went into her office and began her paperwork as she always did.
“Hello, great senior.”
The door opened and a silver-haired elf woman entered.
It was Liana Reinhold.
She must have said last time she told me not to call her a senior…
But since Ardena was in a good mood now, she decided to put up with her insults, which she unintentionally received. Besides, isn’t this the capital of the Liberia Elves, the palace of Maherit? Due to her stern atmosphere, she could not cause a fuss in the armed palace, so she maintained the utmost moderation.
“Sir Liana, didn’t you go to work at the academy?”
“Today is off duty. I stopped by the palace because I had some luggage to take to my office. While visiting the palace, I came to say hello to the great senior.”
“Is it.”
Ardena nodded her head.
If she had skipped her class and come over to chat or shiver with her, she would throw it out of a fourth floor window.
Ardena muttered that she was glad she didn’t have to go through the misfortune of throwing her colleague out of her window. Whether she knew it or not, Riana said she wanted to make friends with Ardena, so she came to her side and started telling her stories about Alone.
“Miss Alone is really amazing! I’m not saying this because I’m the teacher in charge, but if I grow up smoothly like this, I’m sure I’ll pass the graduation exam.”
It’s a word full of flattery.
However, in the ears of her older sister, who cherished her younger sister, she couldn’t be bothered by the flattery.
Liana listed her praises for her Alone. And Ardena listened to those compliments in silence. Liana is also a member of the battlefield. She couldn’t have been wrong in her discernment of the growth of academy students.
“However, many students gather for the graduation exam. Alone’s growth is noticeable, but it’s too early to guess. The graduation exam, in which you have to fight elite knights for 30 minutes while manifesting the Mana Blade, will be an ordeal that is not easy for Alone.”
Examiners participating in graduation exams.
That examiner is not an instructor at the academy.
A knight assigned to the capital, Maherit, was dispatched to the academy to take charge of the graduation exam.
In other words, students participating in the graduation exam must maintain their mana blades by competing with swords for 30 minutes against elite knights who have gone through all the battles.
“Of course it is not easy. However, Bria Academy needs to give severe and fair trials to students who will be transferred to the upper echelons of society.”
“Yep, what you said is right.”
“Don’t let the car come out. Please sit there.”
“Thank you!”
When Ardena told her to serve her tea, Liana put on her excited expression.
President!
I never thought that Ardena’s senior, who is called the invincible heroine, would ride her car.
Riana said that the day she would become Ardena’s right-hand man wasn’t far off, and she started drinking kimchi soup. Using her sister Alone as her link, she approaches Ardena and becomes her entourage. Riana, who has a lot of her desire to succeed, was working hard to win Ardena’s favor.
“By the way, Mr. President.”
“Uh.”
“How is Miss Alone’s attendant, the human slave, these days?”
Dalgrak.
Ardena’s hand, which was skillfully brewing black tea, slipped.
I inadvertently knocked over the teacup. It was a mistake she would never have made had it been her usual. Because she was an Ardena who always showed only moderation, she always paid attention to tea etiquette.
“Of course, Ardena University’s seniors would have been able to take care of it, but why did she touch the Trident Company in an irrational way? How surprised she was when she first heard the news. It seems that she needs to give a big surprise to a human who doesn’t even know the subject. What the hell did she do in the slave market, because she has no slave education at all.”
Liana pointed out the rudeness of her Yushin.
Upon hearing this, Ardena added a pinch of salt to her Liana’s portion of black tea.
“That human slave still thinks he is the Seven Swords of the Kingdom? She has no pride in being a slave sold as a prisoner of war.”
Ardena moved her spoon.
She put three tablespoons of salt into Liana’s black tea.
“If you don’t mind, I will fix the slave’s habit in his place.”
Liana is a very unnoticed personality.
Even though Ardena was blatantly exuding a knife-like atmosphere, her mouth did not stop.
Through it, Liana could see that she became a warrior commander only with her skills, without any connections. If she was the 12 Warriors Chief, she would not have been a Warriors Chief for the rest of her life if she had been a position to rise with her life skills and flattery.
“The tea will be cold. I’m a little late.”
“It’s okay! It is a great honor just for the great senior to serve me a car.”
Liana took a sip of her tea.
At that moment, her liana’s face began to contort like a dented tray.
But she couldn’t get it out of her mouth.
It was impossible for a superior to say that the taste was strange in front of a superior with a huge difference in ridership.
“These days have become quite chilly.”
“That, is…Is it…? Cool.”
She vented her anguish as Liana cleared her throat after drinking the sodium-laden black tea.
But Ardena didn’t look at it.
You shouldn’t look at it, because the self in your heart was screaming like that.
“I heard that milk tea with milk is a trend among young people these days. Do you add sugar and jam? But I enjoy drinking black tea that retains its original flavor.”
Ardena said while taking a sip of black tea.
Drinking tea calms her mind.
So she agreed to forgive Liana. It was too harsh for her to keep making her drink black tea with a lot of salt.
“Sir, you sound like an old man.”
Liana said with a smile.
She is her chronic disease.
She has a habit of getting her words out without a filter.
Of course, it was not meant with malice. It was because Ardena talking about ‘these days’ youngsters’ looked like middle-aged people gathering and saying ‘these days kids…’.
Up
The teacup, unable to withstand Ardena’s grip, shattered.
And the window of Ardena’s office on the 4th floor was shattered like a teacup. At the same time, an elf fell from the window like a bungee jump without a rope. Of course, the elf that fell from above was safe, but it was entangled in the flower garden below and ended up in a miserable state.
“Ardena-sama. What did you just hear… Cars, windows!”
Hearing the roar from the office, the Helenwood female knight opened the door and came in.
The window had been smashed.
And obviously, the figure of the elf warrior commander who had entered the office was nowhere to be seen.
It didn’t take long to figure out what was going on. It was because I witnessed that Ardena’s planting was very low pressure. So, in order not to offend the leader of her subordinate who lives here, she quietly closed the door and left.
