That’s not what kissing means!
Episode 68
How did she know?
As Evelyn’s eyes widened, Vanessa entered the changing room with her.
“I don’t know where you’re going, but… I think our Lord didn’t give it to you for no reason.”
Could I see what kind of weapon it is?
When Vanessa asked carefully, Evelyn took out the fountain pen from her pocket.
After turning the cap to activate it, she revealed the sharp blade tip.
“It’s definitely perfect for portable use.”
Vanessa examined the fountain pen from various angles with curiosity.
Then she spoke in a secretive voice.
“Lady Evelyn, do you know how I rose to the position of vice-captain with a woman’s body?”
At that moment, the image of her winning against Victor in their duel by using underhanded tactics came to mind.
Swallowing the words ‘Because you’re underhanded?’, Evelyn smiled.
“Because your martial arts skills are outstanding.”
“That’s right. But there’s a clear difference in build and strength compared to male knights.”
She shrugged her shoulders, gesturing toward Victor who was more than twice her size.
“But I’ve never been defeated once. The reason is…”
Perhaps because of the changing room where no light entered, a large shadow fell across Vanessa’s face.
She looked less like a righteous Mage Knight and more like a sinister schemer.
Finally, she whispered with a giggle.
“Speed and accuracy, those two things exactly.”
What the… that’s scary…
Evelyn unconsciously stepped backward, but Vanessa approached slowly with the corners of her mouth raised.
“I’ll teach you. How to attack vital points with minimal force.”
* * *
Evelyn, who had returned to the manor, immediately collapsed onto her bed after washing up.
She learned for the first time in her life that there were so many vital points on the human body.
Vanessa changed the fountain pen tip back to a pen nib and taught her several movements.
Most of them were methods to draw out great force using recoil.
‘If you do this, you can send your opponent straight to the afterlife!’
She couldn’t forget Vanessa’s face as she smiled brightly while saying those chilling words.
When she said she didn’t want to go that far, Vanessa replied in a light tone.
‘Then aim for the eyes or temples…!’
Though she didn’t want to hear any more, Vanessa made Evelyn practice repeatedly until she learned it.
Since she seemed genuinely worried about her, Evelyn had no choice but to devote herself helplessly to learning.
When their private training was finished, she had to learn self-defense techniques.
‘When someone grabs you from behind, you drive your elbow back like this…!’
‘Ugh!’
Of course, the practice partner was Victor.
He helped Evelyn with tears in his eyes, doing his absolute best.
‘If you do this, you can easily take down someone even with a size difference!’
Vanessa grabbed Victor’s arm with a fresh smile and threw him forward.
Thud!
She remembered the sound that echoed through the training ground being quite loud.
Of course, Victor’s pain would have been proportional to that.
Evelyn also tried to grab and throw him, but had to give up repeatedly due to lack of strength.
Despite her continued failures, Vanessa and Victor showed demonstrations one after another, telling her not to give up.
When Evelyn, feeling sorry, tried to back down saying she’d stop here, they even gave serious advice.
‘Lady Evelyn, if you do this, you won’t be able to protect yourself.’
It was the first time she’d seen Victor with such a serious expression.
Evelyn was quite intelligent.
But her body couldn’t keep up with her brain.
She had clearly memorized it… but why couldn’t she follow along properly? She resented herself to the point of despair.
‘Don’t blame yourself. Beginners can be like this!’
‘You can make mistakes!’
‘There are cases like this too!’
Vanessa, who had been cheering her on like that, tilted her head at some point.
‘Is this even possible…?’
Eventually, the two had to think of customized training for Evelyn.
After discussing that at this rate, Evelyn’s limbs would break before she could even protect herself, they decided to learn just a few simple self-defense techniques.
Nevertheless, Evelyn felt pain as if her entire body was collapsing.
The training ended safely, but without Vanessa’s support, it would have taken three days just to get to the manor.
When she barely managed to say thank you, Vanessa said with genuine concern.
‘This isn’t… your last words or anything like that, is it?’
From that time until now, Evelyn had been unable to move from her bed.
Her muscles were knotted up everywhere, and painful groans escaped every time she moved.
“Ugh… I feel like I’m dying…”
Then, she heard a knock on the door.
“Who is it…?”
“It’s me.”
At Theo’s voice, she gave permission weakly.
Seeing Evelyn trying to get up, he hurriedly said.
“It’s okay, stay lying down.”
Normally she would have sat up out of courtesy, but today she couldn’t move at all.
In the end, she had to have a conversation with Theo while burying her face in the pillow.
Theo pulled a chair next to the bed and sat down.
“I heard you learned self-defense from Vanessa.”
“Yes, she was an excellent teacher…”
She was someone who didn’t give up on a wooden puppet like herself and took responsibility until the end.
“Well done. I’ll be by your side, but still, you never know what might happen.”
“If you had just said the Holy Kingdom, Vanessa probably wouldn’t have worried this much.”
Evelyn let out a bitter laugh, saying that we were probably the only ones who were so wary of the Holy Kingdom.
It was the Envoy’s domain, after all, and the place where they worshipped Yulia, the symbol of continental peace.
“You look quite exhausted.”
He asked with concern for Evelyn.
“How much did you train? Didn’t Vanessa push you too hard?”
“She did push me hard… I learned self-defense for four hours and studied human vital points.”
“What else did you do?”
“…That’s all.”
Theo couldn’t say anything for a moment.
He was taken aback by the surprisingly small amount of training.
Evelyn wanted to cry.
She remembered how Vanessa had tilted her head in confusion earlier.
‘How can I be the same as knights who train every day!’
She said in a dejected voice.
“I want to be alone…”
“You need to relax your muscles.”
“How?”
“I need to massage your legs carefully, starting from your ankles. Since you learned self-defense, I should massage your back too.”
Soon she heard the sound of him getting up from his seat.
W-wait a minute! Was he saying he would touch my body?
He definitely said massage.
She imagined his hands gradually moving up from her ankles.
Evelyn’s face instantly flushed red.
She sprang up from her seat with superhuman strength. She thought she heard a cracking sound, as if her body was splitting apart.
“N-no!”
“Hm?”
“I understand Theo’s concern, but I can’t let you touch my b-body!”
She experienced firsthand how her tongue got twisted when she was flustered.
As she shook her head vigorously with her completely red face, Theo stepped back.
“Do as you wish.”
Relieved, Evelyn let out a sigh.
“And you shouldn’t touch a woman’s body carelessly! A massage!”
Then confusion appeared in Theo’s eyes.
He walked over to the table and reached for a tray. Then he picked up a teapot and poured tea into a teacup.
When did he bring that?
Evelyn, who was slow to grasp the situation, blinked her eyes.
Soon green tea came into her view.
“It’s tea that helps relax muscles. I came to give you this.”
“…”
“A masseuse will come soon. She specializes in treating women.”
So… from the beginning, Theo had no intention whatsoever of touching Evelyn.
At the thought that she had misunderstood for no reason, Evelyn’s face looked ready to explode from embarrassment.
Theo poked her cheek and smiled.
“You must have wanted someone else.”
“…I didn’t.”
“It must be disappointing, but bear with it.”
Then he left the room, telling her to rest well.
As soon as the door closed, the sound of something being hit hard could be heard from inside the room.
Unable to overcome her shame, Evelyn was pounding the pillow with her fist with all her might.
Hearing the thumping sounds, Theo suppressed his laughter.
