The Paladin Owns the Relic

172 – Knight of the Forest (2)

I heard everything and opened my mouth.

“Brother. Are you sick?”

“What do you mean?”

“No. A little… f*ck.”

Long complaints that lasted for six hours.

Most of the stories were focused on how pretty the queen of the forest was and how brilliant her beauty was.

“So you didn’t confess once?”

“I was born tied to her. The fact that the knight who serves her queen has a different mind…”

“No, what… Why are you so selfish about such a subject?”

“Simply the truth, not selfishness…”

“Enough.”

I don’t know why the forest queen has such a strange feeling for me.

But the most important thing is to get out of here.

Her limbs are chained, and her holy power cannot be drawn out either. Except for the forest knight, I could feel the eyes of many invisible spirits.

It is impossible to escape on your own.

Then there was only one thing left. To create a crack in the interior and somehow create a gap.

Apparently, the strongest of the forest queen’s forces aside from her looks like a knight in front of her…

“To be honest, you don’t have the courage. Courage to confess your feelings.”

“……”

“Do you want to remain as a substitute for the World Tree?”

“…I am a knight.”

“It’s a knight and a nabal. Tell me your lies huh?”

“Why did you say that in the first place…”

“It’s frustrating. f*ck. You said huh? You say you look like me? Honestly, aren’t you the only one who feels that way?”

That’s bullsh*t.

I don’t feel anything!

But he shamelessly told a lie.

The Forest Queen and the Forest Knight.

There must be a lot to be gained by separating the two!

“I don’t like it when you, who resemble me, act so frustrating.”

“What is that…”

“If you have crossed swords once, uh. It’s like a friend is not it?”

“That’s bullsh*t.”

“Whether it’s bullsh*t or whatever, I’m honestly attracted to it. Ruler. Lets think. sh*t. The image of walking through the forest side by side with the queen of the forest holding her hand.”

“……”

“I will stay here, and I have no intention of leaving. I mean, I want to take a little bit of your stuffy look that resembles me and fix it.”

“……”

“Isn’t it a story that you would lose even if you heard it in the first place?”

The knight of the forest raised her head quietly. Her head was still turned, but her ears were pointing this way.

“…I will listen and decide.”

Yes! That’s it!

I rubbed my hands together. Love tricks? Huh! f*ck you!

There is only one thing I can do for him!

To be abandoned to the point of being completely hated by the forest queen in a moment of heightened emotion!

After twisting and ruining the emotional goal of the two, they are aiming for a chance to get out!

“It doesn’t look like someone trying to help.”

“What are you talking about? I can’t lie There is nothing to gain from it.”

“…Well. There’s no way you, who knows honor, would lie.”

That word stings my conscience a bit.

But I can’t help it. My nose is sleeping he’s a knight of the forest just be humbled

I’ll take care of the honor after that!

“…What should I do first?”

”For now…”

It would be better to teach the opponent properly at first so that they don’t have doubts. If I get a positive response, they’ll trust me more.

In order to develop feelings of betrayal anyway, the relationship between the two needed to become more affectionate.

When expectations are high, the sense of betrayal grows.

A proper process is essential for proper results.

I stretched all the way.

“Take care of your appearance first!”

. . .

Duran looked at him tremblingly. He glanced at the polished helmet in the mirror of the water.

It’s tidy. The old tree armor worn was also the same. He wiped away small wounds and polished his whole body as smooth as the armor he had just made.

Feels like a new born. It was a different feeling than when I simply washed my body.

“This is better…?”

“Yes. Women are always against a neat appearance.”

The paladin glanced around his body. One twig stuck in his helmet.

“…Accessories don’t really suit your face. No Isn’t that a face in the first place? Is that a pitch?”

“The pitch is correct.”

“Take it off.”

Duran quietly complied. Zahard flinched as he took off his helmet.

“Woah. Write again.”

“Is it so hard to see?”

“No. It’s not like that… What is it. Is it better to write Are you like a knight? It feels like this.”

Duran reluctantly complied. Zahard glanced at his sword.

“I’m going to clean the scabbard as well. Uh. If it’s that dirty, it’ll attract bugs.”

“The scars of war are the pride of knights…”

“Does Pride Seduce the Queen?”

“……”

Duran secretly cleaned his scabbard as well. He cleaned the cuts and washed them with water.

Zahard nodded his head in satisfaction.

“Go and say something. Regular report? Try that.”

“It is not necessary to…”

“Hey. Do you know what’s the most important thing when flirting with a girl?”

“What is it?”

“It’s about increasing the time we spend together. And don’t show your crush. Just act like you normally do. If you notice that the other person has changed, respond appropriately.”

“What is moderate?”

Zahad punched his fist. Duran turned his head to avoid it.

“What are you doing?”

“Let it be. Like naturally avoiding it.”

“Does it mean that if the other person points out something, avoid it?”

“No. Sick child. Just do it naturally If the queen says you’ve changed, just reply casually.”

“What if I don’t notice?”

“There is a long way to go.”

“…….”

“Go see.”

Duran opened the door. He walked down the dark hallway with the spirits following him.

I was strangely nervous. It felt like my heart was beating. I’ve never been so nervous before meeting any formidable enemy…

Why? What is it that makes you so nervous?

Duran stopped in front of the forest queen’s abode. Garden. Even though it was the same garden as always, it was strangely different.

With a feeling of tightness in his chest, the knight of the forest stretched out his arm. I quietly opened the door to the garden and went inside.

Smoothly.

It was the sound of quiet breathing. Breathing filled with drowsiness leaned against the giant tree.

The Queen of the Forest was asleep with her body buried in countless flowers. The flowers clinging to the end of her hair were a bit more withered than the day before, and the corners of her eyes were darker.

It’s overcrowded.

Looking at one of your own wishes.

The knight of the forest didn’t want to wake her up. She waited for the soft breathing to end.

Standing silently by the side. As always.

“…Uh…Uh…”

She lazily raised her body from her drowsy sleep. I stretched her and rubbed her eyes.

“…Duran?”

Even the voice he exhales is beautiful. The emerald-colored, brilliant hair color was like the rising sun to him.

A presence that makes your heart swell just by being next to it.

Duran knelt down on her knees. As always she had a bow in front of her.

“Why are you here? What about the Holy Knight?”

“I stopped by for a regular report. The paladin in custody is currently being watched by the spirits.”

“Regular reporting…? I remember she said she didn’t have to do anything…”

Duran said exactly what Zahard said, without making a single mistake.

“I thought this would be a little better.”

To show an independent yet capable image.

Duran didn’t understand that. But she did as she was told. After all of her armor had been polished to a shine, she didn’t want to follow me anymore.

“…Really?”

The Queen of the Forest flinched. As if it was an unexpected reaction, she nodded her head.

“Then please report it.”

“Okay. Then, the condition of Paladin Zahard and the information we found out…”

“Wait.”

The Queen of the Forest raised her hand. She touched Duran’s body.

“Something… Is different from usual?”

“……”

The feeling of my missing heart tightening once again.

「React naturally.」

Recalling Zahad’s voice, Duran nodded her head.

Her voice trembled.

“Is that so…?”

“……?”

The queen of the forest raised her eyebrows. She stroked the polished armor.

“… It’s like… She’s like when she was just born. Back then, she was clean without a single scar.”

“…….”

“…Now is much better.”

Duran hurriedly tried to press the corner of his mouth that had risen involuntarily.

Until I hear the next words.

“Because the way she didn’t have any scars… she resembles the strong and kind person more.”

Compare.

Again, she is compared to ‘Duran’, not herself.

Duran quietly lowered his head. She pondered for a moment, then she naturally got up.

“…I will finish the report.”

If the Queen of the Forest is in a good mood, she will be satisfied with that.

Yes.

That’s enough.

. . .

“…What?”

I wrote a press impression.

“The woman she had a crush on in front of her compared herself to another man?”

“He is a holy father. Please refrain from saying that…”

“In the first place, you weren’t even born as a hermaphrodite, were you? The Queen of the Forest said she combed you herself?”

“…Still, born from the roots from his body…”

“If you give birth, are you all fathers? Huh?”

“From a biological point of view…”

“Stop talking non-knightly. Aren’t you angry?”

Duran shook his head.

“…Rage is a virtue that does not suit a knight.”

“What? Okay? I didn’t want to, but I was combed similarly to the incarnation of the world tree, so I don’t mind being treated as a substitute?”

“…….”

“Then is giving up a virtue of a knight? Or was your heart toward the queen just that good?”

“……”

Honesty is a bit rude.

I tried to decorate it, but I was treated as a substitute for the World Tree? Then there’s this guy…

I don’t like the fact that a guy who’s incredibly cool when fighting comes back as a dead dog.

“So what, are you going to accept it as it is?”

“……”

“If you’re like me, I can’t admit it. Do you know what Giving up when you haven’t done your best yet. I can’t do that.”

“I was born as a knight…”

“What article did I tell you to give up? Just tell me what’s on your mind What do you want to do?”

What I want to do.

Duran moved his mouth. He spoke the secrets he had been hiding.

“I want to stand…By your Majesty’s side.”

“As a knight?”

The silence was long. It seemed like he was worried at first.

But the answer came out anyway.

“…As a man.”

From noble mtl dot com

A squeezed voice.

“I want to stand as a man.”

Now that I’ve heard the answer, I only have one action to take.

“Yes. Why do you spin round and round like that?”

The relationship between the two is also a relationship, but to be honest, I don’t like the author of the forest queen who keeps comparing her with her lost first love.

So, let’s do it sincerely.

“I will make you the best man. Trust me and follow me!”

“Paladin. It seems that your love experience is very rich.”

“No?”

“……?”
