Chapter 59 – A Trick of Fate
Lately, Agnes has been living a blissful day.
A series of happy times that can be described as the golden age of life.
“Sir Agnes, what must I do to straighten the path of the sword in my heart?”
“Please teach me a lesson too!”
On her way home from work after finishing her day, knights who seek her learning come to her every day and stop her.
An image of the manifestation world that deals with the elements of nature that Agnes uses. It is because there is a corner that touches the heartstrings unique to knights chasing romance.
“I’m sorry. Everyone please go back.”
“Don’t do that, please…”
Of course, I can’t afford to take in a student, and I know that accepting even one student will be very annoying, so I refuse every time…
The moment I turned around behind her, I couldn’t help but notice that the corner of her mouth twitched.
‘Hee hee.’
Something strange, but not unpleasant.
Not only that.
“Hey, that person. Perhaps he was active in the Knights War…”
“Blue hair and a sharp look… I think it fits?”
“Hey, Sir Agnes! Just look this way!”
When she goes out on the street to buy her groceries, people who recognize her face often show up and show her interest in her.
A gaze full of admiration, favor, and admiration.
‘This is the first time in my life… ‘
It was as if he had become a very famous bard. And it wasn’t Agnes’s only illusion.
After the Knights Templar, she actually became quite famous.
The one who received the most attention was Wolfgang von Schwarz, the leader of the Black Lion Knights, who showed off his tremendous incompetence, but there were also quite a few people who were moved by Agnes’ struggle.
She was quite happy with the attention people gave her.
Of course, there is no law that interest will only come to the sweet side, so sometimes annoying men appeared.
“Lady Agnes, I fell in love with your dazzling beauty…”
“Turn it off.”
There was no problem.
“I’m sorry!”
“Tsk…”
If Agnes had been an ordinary aristocratic lady, she would have been in quite a bit of trouble.
However, she is an undisputed knight. It is also a person who has reached the level of being treated as an undisputed strongman among knights.
Chakjeong, who could not stand even light momentum, was not a woman that her men, like her, dared to do anything about.
‘He was an insignificant person. Compared to the leader, she can’t even be called a proper man.’
Agnes thought as she left work with her light steps.
It’s clear that her own life is starting to change.
‘Am I finally starting to open up my future?’
Up until now, she has lived a relatively humble life compared to what she has and what she has, but now many people are recognizing her true self.
Agnes was also a young noblewoman, so she occasionally attended parties and social gatherings.
However, since her job as a disobedient knight overlapped with her origins as a local lower-ranking noble, she was not treated very well even if she said empty words.
Of course, she was famous among her knights, but she had an ambiguous position, just like a prospect.
To be more precise, just as she was about to manifest her image and make her name known, several bad things, including the appearance of Pietro, overlapped and blocked her career path.
But that’s all in the past now.
Come to think of it, there was another positive fact.
In the past, every day was a series of overtime, but since the new administrative officer took office a few days ago, he has been able to enjoy a life of leaving work before sunset.
“The weather is nice today. I’m sure you said that the captain’s hobby is walking.”
Aside from the new hobby of enjoying people’s attention, Agnes had only one interest these days.
Before she fell asleep, she thought as she warmed up in the small private practice room at her home.
When would it be a good time to confess my feelings to the leader whom I respect and adore?
‘On such a fine day, walking down the street with him… Ride the atmosphere naturally… If you tell me your wish then… ‘
Until now, she had lived her life as a soldier, not as a woman.
Ever since she left the house, she has worked hard to achieve a level where she can take care of herself, and fortunately she has achieved some results…
It was clearly a life far from happy.
Until half a year ago, she suffered every day without being properly recognized for her abilities under her incompetent and sinister boss.
However, when the existence of her man named Wolfgang intervened in Agnes’ life, which was so devastated, her life changed completely.
She said, ‘No way, she didn’t even know in her dreams that she met the general before she died, and that she would even receive his approval. It’s all thanks to the captain… ‘
Her talent, which had not been able to bloom in full bloom and was suppressed, was in full bloom, and it was not enough to receive people’s recognition, so she realized her fluttering heart as a woman.
“Haha… Captain…”
A manly face covered with Wolfgang’s scars, a large muscular body, and a large grip that caressed his lower stomach and infused rich mana.
When she thought about it all, her body felt hot.
Cat posture is very helpful for the elasticity and flexibility of the spine and is very helpful for women’s physical training.
In order to cool down her overheated body, Agnes expressed a little imagery in that position.
—Saaa… !
Then, moving her hand slightly, she carefully moved her fingers to manipulate the flurry of cold air in different directions.
This is also a kind of training. Under any circumstances, the cold must be controlled.
—Chack, slap!
Due to the hot weather, the ice she created quickly melted away, and soon the sound of her water splashing echoed in her practice room.
“Huh…!”
The results of the training were not very satisfactory. Is it still a bit lacking? I felt like I needed more training.
But that’s it for today.
Agnes was immersed in her thoughts, tidying up her seat with a blushing face.
Of course, Wolfgang, whom she longs for, already had a lover named Princess Alicia, so it might be impossible to completely capture his heart.
As long as there was room for the small existence of myself to intervene in the empty space in his heart, that was enough.
It was because the things she had already received from him were too overflowing to want anything more than that, and she wondered if she would be able to pay the price even if she gave her life.
Agnes was not greedy.
‘I’m sure I’ll be able to see the captain when I go to work tomorrow.’
Thinking of that, she smiled softly to herself, and then went to bed feeling extremely refreshed.
As soon as I remembered Wolfgang’s face, my severe insomnia disappeared and I quickly fell asleep.
After all, she was the happiest woman in the world these days.
“My daughter, Agnes! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.”
“…It’s been a while, third.”
Two people I wanted to erase from my life.
Until he suddenly appeared and blocked her way.
* * *
She had a bad feeling and left her unit earlier than usual.
An unreasonable early departure that did not even finish the morning routine.
It was never desirable as a leader who should set an example for her subordinates, but today, I also decided to imitate Alicia and slightly consume the reputation I have built up so far.
“I’m sorry. I just got a letter saying that an acquaintance’s health is not very comfortable.”
“No, Captain. I hope it’s not serious.”
I feel a little sorry for an imaginary acquaintance who suddenly fell ill.
The reason why he rushed out of work, even coming up with a clumsy excuse, was of course because he was very concerned about the safety of the vice-captain.
‘It shouldn’t be too bad.’
She is my most precious subordinate and a woman who shows a clear rational attraction to me.
She wasn’t yet completely mine, like Alicia, but she was already close enough to be called an ordinary stranger.
“Let’s drive the wagon faster.”
“Ancient!”
To be honest, I didn’t need any elaborate reasons.
She said that as a man, there might be something wrong with a woman who likes to sleep, but how could she sit still and do her job?
It’s okay to be at home once.
Finding the vice-captain’s house in the group residence area, where similar houses were lined up in a row, was not that difficult, unlike before.
When we arrived at our destination, a cold air was leaking from inside, making the surroundings cool.
— Clink!
Even the sound of something breaking. It seemed that something out of the ordinary was going on.
“Didn’t you say no!”
“Daughter, please think again. This is a great opportunity for our family!”
“Just because you’ve become a little famous, just because your hair has grown a little thick, do you dare to stand up to your mother and father?
Judging by the contents of the conversation that happens at the right time. Vice-captain Agnes seemed to be having a serious conflict with her parents who had just come home.
If it’s a family discord, then it’s a law to submit an emergency leave notice. My relationship with my family was not particularly good, so I was the same.
The existence of blood may be the most reliable existence for someone, but it may be the most annoying existence for someone else.
Aside from my personal impressions, I decided to watch it a little longer as it was not the right picture for a third party to rush into.
“It’s an engagement to a marquis! Don’t you really know what a great opportunity this is for lesser nobles like us?”
“Father, no… Baron Lee Helm. To me, who ran away from home because I didn’t want to live as a tool of the family, is that really the only thing you have to say after seeing me for the first time in ten years?”
“A child, like a child, obeys the parent’s words.
The flow of conversation was gradually heading to a dead end.
Stop here.
— Quick!
I broke down the fence and strode toward the vice-captain’s house. It was because it seemed like my ears would rot if I listened to it any more.
No matter how much people live in the same place, how can parents be so much the same even when they become obstacles to their children?
Whether or not it was morally right to interfere in someone else’s family affairs, I just didn’t want to see it like that anymore.
—Quaang!
When I deliberately opened the door loudly and went inside, the eyes of the three people were instantly directed at me.
“Captain?!”
“Huh, Captain of the Black Lion Knights? This is my daughter’s house!”
“Is it rude for an extramarital man to enter the house of a grown woman…?”
The house was in disarray. I approached the vice-captain without a word.
Then he took her lips roughly.
Not befitting the bloody atmosphere, the sweet scent of mint rose from Vice-captain Agnes’ tongue and lips.
The small female body of the vice-captain trembled from the shock. I held her in my arms as she was and stroked her slender waist.
Then he stared at the baron and the baroness.
“…?!”
“What is this?”
The reaction was quite nice to see. I can’t even talk about the engagement anymore.
It was an impulsive act, but I have no regrets.
Because the anger boiling in my heart for her right now clearly told me what I had for her and her feelings for her.
Engagement with a marquis? I have no intention of letting him do such a thing.
Vice-captain, Agnes is mine.
