Chapter 25

“What?”

“I’m going to keep watch over you.”

What is he talking about now.

“You’re, you’re going to stay here?”

“That’s right. Is there a problem with that?”

There is. A whole lot of problems!

My head started aching as I groaned and pressed my forehead.

“Is it really necessary to do that?”

“You broke black magic without even being a mage, and after agreeing to be on my side, you ran away. How can I trust you and just leave?”

Everything he said was true, so I couldn’t find words to argue.

“If you don’t like it, I’ll just kill you right here and now…”

“I understand! I’ll stay here!”

I quickly stopped Kaisis before he could threaten to kill me.

Then I looked Kaisis up and down once.

I can’t make that arrogant dragon into a servant. So then, a guard knight it is.

“Then Kaisis, can you be my guard knight?”

“You want me to protect you?”

“That is what guard knights do, but it’s just a title. I’m a noble, you see. Noble families are extremely sensitive about letting outsiders in, so unless you have a certain position or status, you can’t stay here.”

“So I can always stay close to you?”

“Not always. Only when going out or when there are special circumstances…?”

Then Kaisis looked at me with sharp eyes as if something displeased him.

“Yes, yes, if you want, we can always be together.”

In the end, I decided to give Kaisis what he wanted with tears in my eyes.

Then Kaisis seemed to think about something for a moment before nodding his head.

“Then I’ll become a guard knight.”

I had obtained Kaisis’s agreement, and now all that remained was the Count’s permission.

I pondered for a moment, then went to the desk and began writing an appointment letter.

Right, since I was teleported here with Kaisis anyway, if I can’t kick him out, it might not be so bad to live together and build a friendship.

Who knows?

Maybe if we become friends, he’ll withdraw his plan to kill me.

When I rang the bell to call a maid, she opened her eyes wide in surprise at Kaisis’s sudden appearance, but soon composed her expression and bowed.

“Please deliver this to the Count.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“And this person is my guest. Please guide him to the guest room.”

“Yes, Miss.”

The maid who received the appointment letter bowed politely toward Kaisis.

“I will guide you to your room.”

Kaisis followed the maid out of the room, and I let out a sigh.

Will this… be okay from now on.

* * *

“I refuse.”

However, two days later.

The Count’s refusal came down.

I had expected it since Louis Sauver started picking fights, but as expected, the Count found fault using Kaisis’s background as an excuse.

“May I ask the reason why you refuse?”

As soon as I entered the Count’s study, I poured out the main point, and the Count, who had been looking at documents, frowned and turned to look at me.

“I can’t accept some guy of unknown origin as your knight. He might even put you in danger.”

I thought he was just opposing for no reason, but I was a bit surprised that wasn’t the case.

Moreover, he was opposing because of my safety.

I couldn’t adapt to the Count’s suddenly changed attitude when he had always been indifferent whether Louis abused me or not.

Since when had he been like this. Was it after seeing Rene’s mother’s portrait?

“Kai is a tremendously skilled person. He’s a talent I personally selected and brought.”

“Where is he from?”

“A country called Elburn in the north.”

“In other words, he’s a foreigner.”

In reality, he wasn’t a foreigner but the master of the north, but anyway.

“Even if he’s a foreigner, as long as his skills are good, that’s enough. Is there anything more important than skill when selecting a knight?”

“I haven’t seen that fellow’s skills yet. So it’s unreasonable to accept him as your guard knight.”

“Then if I just prove Kai’s skills, will you accept him as my guard knight?”

“There’s no reason I couldn’t.”

My puzzlement at the Count’s unexpectedly favorable attitude was brief.

“I hear there will be a swordsmanship tournament soon. He should at least place first there to be qualified as a guard knight, don’t you think?”

A difficult task had been given.

To think I’d face the swordsmanship tournament this way, where the Duke showed excellent swordsmanship and appealed to Beatrice in the original story!

“I will prove it to you.”

I politely lifted my skirt hem, curtsied, and left the study.

My head was very complicated.

The evil dragon Kaisis was strong, but would Kaisis in human form also be strong?

Moreover, this is a swordsmanship tournament, so can Kaisis handle a sword?

I thought he’d naturally place first since he’s a super strong dragon, but what if he can’t handle a sword?!

As I walked down the hallway like that, I suddenly stopped at a thought that occurred to me.

The evil dragon coming to the capital, and to the Count’s mansion at that, was a story that didn’t appear in the original.

With an uneasy heart, I opened the system window to check the world destruction gauge.

[13% until world destruction]

Why? Even though this was definitely something that didn’t happen in the original, the destruction gauge hadn’t risen.

Is it because it doesn’t affect the romance between the female lead and male leads?

When I made this guess, I thought the system window would give me some answer like before, saying it was correct or incorrect, but this time it remained silent for some reason.

Anyway, it was such a capricious system window.

* * *

“Kaisis.”

I ran straight to Kaisis’s room to tell him about this situation.

There was no sign of anyone even after I knocked on the door, so I opened it and went in.

“What? Where did he go?”

As I was looking around, the bathroom door attached to one side of the room opened and Kaisis came out.

“What’s the matter, human.”

Kaisis was shirtless.

Water droplets dripped down his well-built chest and along his well-defined muscles.

If I did laundry there, it would wash well.

I pretended to cover my eyes with both hands while eagerly scanning Kaisis’s abs.

Is it because he’s a dragon? His body was incredibly good.

Looking at his picture-perfect body, my heart seemed to be beating fiercely.

“I asked what’s the matter.”

“Ah, well, there’s a bit of a problem.”

I told him that the Count had refused his appointment letter.

And that he needed to prove his skills in the upcoming swordsmanship tournament.

“Kaisis, do you know how to handle a sword?”

“Are there any men who can’t handle a sword?”

That was fortunate.

I was wondering if I’d have to get him a teacher starting now if he said he didn’t know how to handle a sword.

“So would you enter the tournament just once? You absolutely have to win first place there.”

In the original story, the winner of the swordsmanship tournament wasn’t the Duke but some unknown person.

So Kaisis taking first place wouldn’t be something that would damage the original story.

If Kaisis and the Duke were to face off, couldn’t Kaisis help make the Duke look more impressive, thereby increasing Louis Sauver’s favorability toward him?

I was already making all sorts of plans as I waited for Kaisis’s answer.

Kaisis nodded casually and began putting on the shirt he had taken off.

“It’s nothing difficult.”

“Then I’ll announce your participation.”

Just as I was about to leave the room after saying that.

“Eek!”

I stepped on some water that had fallen on the floor and slipped.

It seemed to be water that had dripped from Kaisis’s body.

At this rate, I was going to hit the back of my head.

I frantically covered my head, bracing for impact.

Thud.

“Why are you falling over by yourself?”

Kaisis’s arm wrapped around me.

Perhaps because of the thick arm muscles I felt against my back, I felt as stable as if I were lying on a firm bed.

Oh my.

“I-I stepped on the water on the floor and slipped. Thank you.”

As I tried to get up hastily, I moved too quickly and ended up twisting my foot.

Eek, I’m slipping again!

In the end, I collapsed into Kaisis’s arms, and he fell backward while holding me.

“Now that you’ve touched everything, would you mind moving your hands?”
