Episode 31

 

“Twenty outfits? Then how much would that cost…?”

 

Geti, who had been eavesdropping on this conversation from behind the stairs, quickly calculated in her head. Not only calling a tailor to make custom-fitted clothes, but twenty outfits? Even combining a year’s worth of wages wouldn’t be enough to make a single outfit… How could that girl.

 

“What does she think she is!”

 

The lady is being too generous!

 

Geti’s face turned bright red as she ground her teeth.

 

This couldn’t be left alone.

 

“That insolent wench. This won’t do. I need to talk to the annex girls and make a real plan to drive her out.”

 

Unlike the main building maids, they had poor clothing and even worse meals, so they would be greatly angered by this.

 

***

 

Docheop’s room, which I had boldly entered, was empty.

 

It was neatly organized like a room that had been vacant for a long time.

 

“Don’t tell me he went training again.”

 

Or maybe he went down to the village?

 

That was also possible.

 

He wasn’t the type to obediently receive treatment from a doctor just because Moldorf had called one. Rather, a doctor in the village might be more comfortable for him.

 

‘Well, just because I entered the family doesn’t mean people would suddenly change.’

 

With a slightly disappointed expression, I looked around the room.

 

Yesterday we had clearly promised that he would get proper rest, but it seemed that promise was just empty words after all.

 

[No. I can sense that guy’s presence here.]

 

Just then, Junel, who hadn’t been visible since Kernhol, revealed herself.

 

“Junel, I was worried…”

 

[Shh. Don’t call this one’s name and just listen quietly.]

 

Junel flew over and covered my lips with both hands.

 

I could only nod in bewilderment.

 

But suddenly Junel perked up her ears.

 

“Here?”

 

[I can sense that guy’s presence… Huh, more importantly, Hallara!]

 

Junel, now urgent, climbed onto my shoulder with a serious expression. At that moment, someone grabbed my arm.

 

“Huh?”

 

Before I could understand the situation, my body was floating.

 

And with one blink of my eyes, my body was sucked into the wall.

 

Darkness covered my vision.

 

My feet dangled in the air. I wondered if Junel had taken me somewhere.

 

“What is this? I’m scared right now.”

 

But I need to be able to see ahead.

 

The fear was brief as my body landed on something soft. At that moment, a familiar scent spread and a ray of light streamed in.

 

“Shh.”

 

Where the light reached, I could see a man with dark red hair holding his index finger to his lips. It was Docheop.

 

“Why are you here…”

 

“Just stay like this for a moment.”

 

Seeing his serious expression, I also kept my mouth shut. Then Docheop watched the wall intently.

 

Rolling my eyes around, I examined the room following the outlines illuminated by the light. It was a space about the size of the apartment I had lived in before marriage. I was sitting on a soft sofa placed inside it.

 

‘Docheop’s scent is really strong here.’

 

The fragrance that emanated from him vibrated in the narrow space.

 

“How long do we have to stay like this?”

 

By the way, what was he trying to do hiding here?

 

“Is it uncomfortable?”

 

“No. It’s comfortable. But I’m wondering why we have to hide like this.”

 

“Helbeorn came.”

 

Junel, who had been sensing this from beside me, added an explanation.

 

[That bastard Helbeorn came nearby! I can feel his sword energy as he jumps around.]

 

Damn!

 

So Helbeorn is coming here?

 

“Hey! You scoundrel!”

 

Sure enough.

 

Less than a minute later, Helbeorn’s voice could be heard from beyond the wall.

 

I took a breath and gripped Docheop tightly.

 

“You need to breathe.”

 

“Be quiet. If we’re caught, it’s over.”

 

He was the one who tried to kill me back then too.

 

Since he even got hurt because of Junel’s ability, he probably wouldn’t leave me alone if he saw me.

 

“What the hell. Where did that scoundrel go!?”

 

A sharp voice could be heard right in front of us.

 

It seemed he had entered Docheop’s room.

 

“Young master, why are you looking for Young Master Docheop as soon as you return!”

 

It wasn’t just Helbeorn. There was a man who had followed him.

 

“Looking for? What looking for! I’m searching because that woman is nowhere to be seen! I thought they’d be together since that bastard brought her, but they’re both missing? These guys.”

 

Gasp.

 

He was indeed looking for me.

 

‘I thought he was letting it slide since he’d been quiet all this time!’

 

Why is he looking for me and making a fuss now, days after I came in?

 

“Look for her later! Right now, the lady is looking for you, young master.”

 

“I can see mother later. That’s not what’s important right now.”

 

“Is seeing Young Master Docheop important? I heard you went to the border region and met a knight with monstrous strength!”

 

I don’t know who you are, but thank you so much for trying to stop him.

 

“Lord Nilson is also seriously injured and receiving treatment right now, and you too, young master, hiiik…! Isn’t that blood on your chest!?”

 

“Don’t make a fuss over a little scratch and just look for that woman.”

 

And though I don’t know what the situation is, Helbeorn doesn’t seem to be in good condition to be looking for me.

 

He spat out curses relentlessly before eventually leaving the room.

 

The space became quiet in an instant.

 

I wanted to check with Junel if Helbeorn had really left, but I couldn’t speak to Junel since he couldn’t see her.

 

“Where is this place?”

 

I asked him in a small voice.

 

By the way, this seemed like a space attached to Docheop’s room, but wasn’t there no separate door in the room other than the bathroom?

 

Looking closely, this space also had no door.

 

“Could this be a secret room?”

 

“My hideout.”

 

“Wow!”

 

It really was a secret room, how amazing.

 

“How long has this been here?”

 

“I originally used a different room, but I discovered this place when I was young and moved rooms.”

 

He answered in a low voice.

 

Well, since he had been branded by the family from a young age, he would have needed a space to hide.

 

“No wonder, it smells a lot like you.”

 

The room was no different from a guest room, but this place was imbued with his presence.

 

“Let’s go out now.”

 

“No. He might be nearby and come back in.”

 

“That’s inconvenient.”

 

“Going out would be more inconvenient.”

 

“You must like being alone with me.”

 

“Why are you really like this?”

 

Docheop, no, the protagonist throwing out lines like this. I can’t get used to it.

 

“This is how you’ll remember me. That night when we were alone together.”

 

“That night is forbidden. Don’t say things like that.”

 

“Why? We spent a night together and now we’re family living under the same roof.”

 

I took a big spoonful and brought it to his mouth.

 

“Here, say ah.”

 

I need to shut his mouth. Docheop obediently accepted the porridge without complaint.

 

“It’s delicious.”

 

“I’ll make something even more delicious next time. Be satisfied with this for today.”

 

Next time I should prepare a feast to commemorate Docheop’s awakening.

 

“You really know how to escape situations.”

 

“Here, eat a lot. This way you’ll awaken more and become a wonderful knight.”

 

I kept putting porridge in his mouth so he wouldn’t have a chance to speak.

 

***

 

“Junel. I was really worried about you.”

 

[Do you think I would die? To a mere Creckbear?]

 

“That’s not it, but… still.”

 

It was a monster that had devoured several knights, so I was worried.

 

[Sigh. Where would I go leaving you alone?]

 

Junel came to my shoulder and stroked my cheek with her small hand.

 

She looks like a fairy but talks like an elder.

 

“But why didn’t you come out right away yesterday?”

 

[When I went in there, it was like a whole other world. There were tons of swords I’d never seen before! I was so busy looking at them that I didn’t even notice Docheop had left. Hehe.]

 

Junel wiped her drool and wiggled her bottom.

 

“Did you manage to take some good stuff?”

 

[No. Nikolai’s knights came barging in so I couldn’t do anything!]

 

So that’s why she was late.

 

[Those guys took all the swords to the warehouse. I’ll have to raid the warehouse later.]

 

“Yeah, let’s do that. We should get some useful swords too!”

 

[Now you’re talking sense.]

 

“Of course. You know Docheop awakened, right?”

 

[Oh, right!]

 

Slap slap slap.

 

Junel mercilessly hit my cheek, then continued urgently.

 

[About that Docheop guy. Something’s a bit strange.]

 

“What? Why? Is there something wrong with his body?”

 

[It’s not that… When he defeated the Creckbear, he aimed for five vital points simultaneously without a single error.]

 

“He aimed for vital points simultaneously? Is that even possible? No, can a 1-star knight do that?”

 

[How could they…?]
