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

Bonus 7. From Childhood Friends to Lovers

“I like you, sister. So go out with me.”

“… Uh, yeah? Me, me?”

Fides nodded with conviction.

“Uhhh… . That… . Um…”

Erin was in an awkward position.

From a very young age, he often played with the children of the royal family.

We used to run and play together from the time Fides started walking.

Erin was extremely energetic and athletic as a child.

Because of that, he was close and friendly with the equally energetic Fides and Donum.

Before I entered the academy, I saw him quite often.

Although they don’t run around as much as they used to, the younger siblings who follow them around are still cute.

Although her younger brother, Bailin, who is two years younger than her, is kind, he is not as cute as his siblings who are much older than her.

Although it’s hard to call them childhood friends, Fides and I were similar.

But then, out of nowhere, Fides confessed.

Judging by the reaction, this isn’t a joke.

This kid is serious now.

Erin hesitated, stroking her curly blonde hair.

Then, a question suddenly occurred to me.

“Since when…?”

“Um… I don’t know?”

It was a topic I had never really thought about.

I just felt that way at some point.

If I had to categorize it, it would be around the time I entered the academy.

“But does that matter?”

“That’s… not true.”

It’s not really an important question as to when you started liking someone.

In the end, what remains is the current situation.

“But Fides… do you know what dating means?”

“huh.”

Fidesz said once.

I’m afraid I’ll be rejected if I say I don’t know.

But Erin had already noticed.

“What does it mean to date?”

“So… . Dating means, dating means… .”

As Fides was seriously contemplating, his parents flashed through his mind.

Mom and Dad, who always try to stick together whenever they get a chance.

Isn’t that what dating is like?

“Hugging and kissing?”

“… … .”

Erin’s face instantly turned red.

‘G, g, now, blood, fides, me and that kind of… .’

Unlike her, who was dizzy, Fides was seriously troubled by other problems.

I couldn’t tell if the answer I just gave was correct or not.

I know words like love and lovers, but it was difficult to explain what dating meant.

Erin was ashamed of herself for embarrassing herself because of a boy who was only nine years old.

I barely regained my senses and was troubled by the seriousness of the situation.

‘What should I do…?’

Fides is too serious to be dismissed as the mere words of a childish fool.

I feel like I’ll be hurt if I answer wrong.

I don’t hope so.

Erin had no choice but to treat him seriously, like Fides.

“I understand how you feel, Fides. I understand, but… it’s so sudden. Can you give me some time to think about it?”

“Sister, don’t you like me?”

“I like it, of course. But it’s not the kind of like Fidesz wants.”

Fidesz understood.

I say I like you, but the feelings behind those words can vary widely.

Mom and Dad like it too.

I also like my older sister Amor.

I also like spay and donuts.

UL, spotted puppies, also like dust.

My classmates are also nice.

But each person’s likes are different.

Of all of them, the fondness I feel when I think of Erin is the biggest and heaviest.

It was so overwhelming that I wanted to tell someone else.

“You understand?”

Fides nodded proudly.

“… … .”

Judas was facing Richard.

It was hard to look straight into his eyes.

He avoided eye contact and coughed in vain.

“Is that how you look at people? Ahem…”

“… … .”

Richard, on the other hand, looked straight at Judas.

“Why do you call me something like that when you can confess your love to me as a kid… Why would adults do something like that…?”

“I don’t think it’s right for the person who called Alejandro to say that.”

Dylan suddenly interjected.

When Judah glances at him, he shrugs and pretends not to notice.

There were also all the guards around.

This was the middle of a mountain that was often used for mountaineering training.

The reason we gathered was none other than Fides and Erin.

“Hey, if you have something to say, say it! Why are you just watching me like that!”

Richard looked at Judas intently, then lowered his head.

I let out a deep sigh.

“ha….”

“Is it really worth sighing like that…?”

“No, that’s not the reason… I just have complicated feelings. I don’t even talk to Erin well, so I wonder if it’s right for me to be like this….”

“hmm….”

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Everyone was expecting Judas and Richard to bicker, but Richard didn’t seem to be in the mood for it.

“The kid who used to insist on marrying me has now grown up and is now worrying about relationships without me knowing.”

“It’s like that when you grow up… Don’t worry too much. Oh, it’s okay.”

Suddenly Judas was comforting Richard.

The other guardsmen also chimed in.

‘They’re all the same size as when they were young, but as they get older, they all become more emotional.’

Lindell was particularly heartbroken when his 4-year-old daughter recently told him she wanted to marry her father.

Because I thought that appearance might be his own words.

“Your father might be worried. Do you feel guilty about something like that?”

“Anyway, this human is also dead. Where did that old Richard go?”

“So what do you think, Erin?”

“Well… I don’t know the details since I only heard it from Benny. … Is Fides serious?”

“That’s what it looked like when I saw it.”

Judas was worried that this man might look at Fides separately.

Of course I wouldn’t do anything bad.

However, he himself did not do anything bad to Alejandro.

I wonder if Richard comes up with a similar plan.

Richard smirked as he saw right through him.

“That’s not true, Inma. I know what kind of person Fides is, so why would I do that?”

“Big, ahem.”

“We should just leave it up to the kids to decide.”

That was the best.

In the end, there was no income collected today, but it didn’t matter anyway.

It wasn’t like they had to have income to gather.

And then they dispersed, and Richard returned home to a welcome change of scenery.

Erin came to me because she wanted to talk to me alone.

“Uh, uh. Okay. Erin. What’s up?”

My daughter has been acting awkward since she hit puberty.

When Erin first distanced herself, Richard had a hard time knowing what to do.

As a result, it became more awkward.

“I have something I want to talk to you about, Dad.”

“I have to listen to anything. What’s going on?”

“There is Fides… .”

Erin confessed everything she had heard from Fides.

Richard was very happy and grateful that his daughter was telling him this.

“… That’s what happened. I wanted to hear what it was like from a man’s perspective, but the only person I could ask was my dad.”

“Hmm. I see. First of all, how would you like to respond, Erin?”

“Thank you, but I think Fides is too young….”

About 6 years difference.

If we were both adults, wouldn’t we know?

The ages of 9 and 15 were difficult to overcome.

Erin wanted to refuse while being as considerate of Fides as possible.

Richard understood his daughter’s caring nature.

It was both admirable and special.

“From a man’s perspective….”

He is a man, but Richard is too vague to fathom.

I can’t even remember what I was like when I was 9.

I remember vaguely.

It was a difficult time growing up in an orphanage.

‘Just some silly talk from a young age… .’

Richard, who had been thinking about it, was startled.

Because from then on, I liked Beninita, the orphanage manager.

Coincidentally, the age difference between him and his current wife, Beninita, is six years.

Although he didn’t confess at that age like Fides, his heart was still the same and it continued to the present.

Richard coughed in vain and said.

“Actually, even if you’re a man, it’s hard to speak Fides’ mind so easily. But… Erin, do you think Fides is serious?”

“Um… . Yeah. I was serious.”

“Yes, then it must be true. But I don’t know how long that true feeling will last.”

For a moment Richard remembered Judas’ words.

If you make it difficult, the child will have more difficulty.

So sometimes it’s good to act like you used to.

Richard joked about those days, which were now somewhat hazy.

“For example, like when Erin was little and said she wanted to marry her dad?”

“… … .”

Erin blushed in embarrassment.

Richard chuckled as he watched his cute daughter’s reaction after a long time.

“That’s exactly right. At that time, Erin was sincere, and so was Fides. But no one knows if that will really lead to the future. I think it would be better to be mindful of this and answer gently.”

There was no clear answer.

But it was also a wise answer, in that it allowed me to rethink and examine myself.

Erin smiled brightly in front of her father for the first time in a long time.

She also didn’t like the awkwardness with her dad, but she was glad that it seemed to have cleared up.

“I’m glad I asked Dad.”

“You can ask me anything, anytime. Dad is always open.”

I was surprised to hear that Fides confessed, but it ended up being an opportunity for me to become close with Erin again.

Richard smiled with satisfaction.

*

“Fides. I understand how you feel. But you’re too young to accept it. Do you think that’s important? Yes, it really is. Of course, I like Fides too. So, let’s do this. If Fides’ feelings don’t change even after he becomes an adult, then I’ll really take it seriously and positively. Got it?”

Fides, who had been thinking deeply, reacted slowly.

He just nodded slowly without saying a word.

The expression on his face was almost tragic.

Erin flinched at the sight of that expression, which was like the spirit of a general heading out to battle.

Did I misspeak?

But it was too late to turn back.

Finally, Fidesz answered.

From noble mtl dot come

“Okay, I promise.”

“Uh, uh… .”

This story was passed on to Richard.

Richard also felt a strange sense of unease.

‘Somehow this….’

Erin seems to have made vague promises about the future in order to take care of Fides.

I expected that after 5 or 6 years, people would forget it or think of it as a light remark from childhood.

But rather, it seemed that it had set Fidesz’s heart on fire.

‘… No, right?’

I believed it would be rainy.

Likewise, this news was relayed to Judah and Elijah.

The two men looked at Fides, who had become hardened with enthusiasm, and spoke only to each other.

“Does Fidesz seem sincere?”

“Yeah. Definitely. That’s the look on his face that says he’s going to get it done no matter what. Now no one can stop him.”

9 years until adulthood.

be far.

But Fidesz was more than confident enough to wait.

*

Since the children went to the academy, Judah and Elijah have had a lot of free time.

During that time, the two people enjoy their free time to the fullest.

During the day, we go for walks together, eat snacks, and read books.

When I’m sleepy, I take a nap.

Judah and Elijah rolled around in bed, felt sleepy, and fell asleep while still holding each other.

It was Judas who broke first.

He felt the creature wrap itself around his arm and hug him tightly.

‘cute.’

Fides recently got his own room.

I use the room right next to Amor.

The youngest two were given separate rooms, but then returned to their parents’ room.

Elijah was delighted that he could have Judah alone in bed.

After sleeping with the kids for several years, it’s been a long time since I’ve fallen asleep while being held deeply by Judah.

So enjoy it to your heart’s content while you nap.

‘Why are you still cute?’

Judah kissed the sleeping Elijah’s head and leaned back slightly.

To see the face.

‘This round face is still the same.’

Especially those cheekbones.

Even though she’s over 30, she’s still plump.

This may be the main reason why they look young and cute.

Judah gently pricked Elijah’s cheek while he was sleeping.

Soft and fluffy.

It feels like warm bread dough.

It’s not just the face that remains the same.

The body is the same.

A thin but firm belly that is easy to hold.

As for all other body parts, the places they went in were entered, and the places they came out were quite aggressive.

‘If this is something you’re born with, then it’s something you’re born with.’

In a sense, Elijah’s body is genius.

This is because, even though she doesn’t do any physical activity at all, she still maintains vibrant and elastic skin and body.

He didn’t sag at all even though he was getting older.

‘No, rather, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve become a bit… thicker. Sometimes I feel that way too… .’

Considering that many people go to extreme lengths to achieve physical beauty, her body is almost absurd.

Whatever it was, Judas was happy because it was his.

“Wooow… .”

As I was poking her cheek and pinching her lightly, Elijah whined and crawled into my arms.

He grabs my waist and whines as if he wants me to hug him.

Judah pulled her into his arms and held her close to him.

Warmth spreads to every corner of the body through the parts that touch.

Near the pond there was a soft, sweet smell.

“Huh, huh… .”

Elijah buried his face in her arms and laughed hysterically.

Judas closed his eyes, caressing her warm body that seemed to be waking up but not yet.

It’s a lazy and leisurely day.

Then Elijah spoke in a hushed voice.

“Kiss… Kiss me… .”

Judah patted her buttocks and kissed her.

A sleeping person’s body temperature is higher than usual.

So Elijah’s lips, who had just woken up, were very warm and soft.

“Oh my, I wanted to kiss you.”

“yes.”

“This is our baby Ellie.”

“yes.”

Now I can confidently admit that I’m cute and that I’m treated like a baby.

It’s a different kind of cuteness from being shy.

“cute.”

“Yeah. You’re cute, so kiss me more.”

Elijah grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and pulled him towards him.

Cover your lips again.

A warm and moist layering.

It’s been about 14 years since we got married.

How many times have we kissed during those years?

There are countless.

And yet, it still feels like the old days.

I’m used to it, but I don’t get tired of it.

If you keep them close, they will quickly become hot again.

Elijah put his legs around her waist and lifted his head slightly.

“… What time is it now?”

“It’s just before 11 o’clock.”

“There’s still a lot of time left before I have to pick up the kids.”

I checked to see if it was okay for the two of us to have a lot of time alone.

I feel relieved and press my lips together again.

The breath becomes hot and wet.

He presses his body, which has nowhere to stick, closer.

The moment Judah was about to slide his thigh between her legs, Elijah slowly pulled his lips away.

“There’s something I want to try.”

“Huh? What is it?”

Elijah brought something.

Judas covered his mouth when he saw the object that made him wonder where it was hidden.

That was the academy’s uniform.

One set each for the man and woman.

“I want to wear this….”

After looking at his wife blushing shyly, Judah spoke after a long time.

“…wow.”

There was absolutely no reason to refuse.

We changed into our uniforms one by one, with our backs turned to each other.

When you take off your clothes and put them on, you can hear the sound of fabric rubbing against your skin.

Imagination-inducing sounds filled the quiet bedroom.

Judas put on his uniform, feeling awkward and nervous.

I was too lazy to tie my tie, so I just tied it roughly.

And it’s urgent.

“… Are you all dressed?”

Judas asked, still with his back turned.

“Just a minute. My shirt is a little tight….”

“… … .”

It was an answer that tested the limits of patience.

“It’s all done now.”

Finally turned around.

Judah stared blankly at Elijah, dressed in his school uniform.

A skirt that reaches above the knees.

White shirt and tie under a beige jacket.

The expression “it just suits you” was just right.

…and I think I know why the shirt is tight.

Elijah’s face turned bright red, as if he was embarrassed by his appearance.

She, who couldn’t take her eyes off me, approached me quickly.

“Tie. Tie it straight.”

Elijah adjusted Judah’s tie.

I was going to take it off soon anyway, but it was important.

Judas just stared at her face as she came right up to him.

I couldn’t move my body rashly.

It smells good.

He calmly adjusted his tie, but his face turned bright red, as if he was embarrassed.

Suddenly, that thought occurred to me.

Fides and Erin, who have a bit of an age gap, can be considered childhood friends.

If you think about it, you could say that Elijah and I have a similar relationship.

Because I’ve been watching it since I was 13.

‘It was a bit nerve-wracking to think that it started as a childhood friend…’

When I put on my school uniform, all sorts of thoughts came to my mind.

“It’s done.”

Elijah took a step back, adjusting his clothes.

She also belatedly caught sight of Judah.

Maybe it’s because my husband is tall, but whatever I wear looks good on him.

Although he has aged and his expression has become gentler, his face is still young.

The particularly intense and wild atmosphere has not died.

When you put on a school uniform, you get a rebellious vibe and it’s strangely provocative.

“It suits you well.”

“…Ellie suits you well too.”

“Is that so? The kids are a bit old to wear school uniforms now….”

“No, that… looks good. Really.”

“What is that? It seems like a pervert.”

“Do you know that it’s not you?”

A light-hearted joke as usual.

The silence that followed was unusual.

A strange awkwardness and tension that is different from usual.

The atmosphere changed just by changing one piece of clothing.

I approached very carefully and slowly kissed her lips.

As if it were the first kiss of childhood.

Even my hands couldn’t move as boldly as usual.

Their slightly clumsy gestures were painful to each other.

But the footsteps naturally lead towards the bed.

Judah threw Elijah down onto the bed.

Her face, lying underneath, was flushed and her eyes were trembling as if she was extremely nervous.

She swallowed hard and reached out to wrap her arms around his neck.

“Don’t just look at me, hug me…”

Judas willingly did so.
