The Maid Who Became a Knight - Chapter 113

Chapter 113

Side Story 1-1

All the things that were twisted like threads had been solved. Hizen and Leasis went back to their place like all their suffering and worries had disappeared.

Standing in front of a full-length mirror, Leasis was not dressed in the black uniform of the Imperial Elite Knights. However, it still felt familiar because it was the same golden uniform as the Imperial Knights. She was also wearing a blue rose brooch on her chest.

After dressing up, Leasis fiddled with her sleeves and fell into her thoughts. It was like a dream that she, who had been a maid not too long ago, had become the Vice Commander of the Knights.

The best part was that Hizen was with her. She grinned as she looked at the ring on her left ring finger.

The maid watching from behind said carefully.

“His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for you, Vice Commander Leasis-nim.”

“Yes!”

Leasis hurriedly grabbed the two swords on the table and left the room. Hizen, who was waiting next to the door, saw her and opened his eyes wide as he tried to greet her.

It had been a long time since he last saw her in uniform, but she looked very stylish. Hizen was sure. He was certain that this uniform could not suit better another knight in the world.

While he was admiring her, Leasis ran in the opposite direction. Hizen followed her discreetly.

Leasis, who was nervous about their official schedule, did not notice Hizen’s presence. Moreover, she made noise and caused trouble to people here and there, so she was even bothered to walk. Such worries made her straight forehead frown.

Hizen continued to walk behind her, trying not to laugh. It was great to walk along the path she opened, like she had always been someone’s guide. His heart kept tickling with joy.

The women around him looked envious at the scene and chattered. Hizen straightened his index finger and put it on his lips.

Shh.

Even in the dead silence, Leasis knew nothing. Hizen had a hard time holding back his laughter at the sight.

A scent seemed to come from her wavy red hair fluttering in the wind. Hizen walked along the scent with his eyes closed slightly. Because of the wind, he did not even notice that she had stopped walking.

A rough touch on his forehead made his blue eyes open. When he opened his eyes, Leasis was blocking his forehead with her palm.

I got caught. Hizen coughed in vain with a embarrassed face. Leasis looked at Hizen, who had stopped walking, and asked, intrigued.

“Commander-nim. What are you doing?”

“Hum… that’s…”

There was no justifiable reason. Frustrated by her lover who could not finish his words, Leasis folded her arms. Hizen hesitated and eventually scratched his cheek.

Crazy. The people watching from the side opened their mouths wide. Rumors said that Hizen was being held by Leasis.

Leasis’ subsequent actions added credibility to the rumors. She asked Hizen, pulling his cheek.

“Did you do something wrong or not?”

“…I was wrong.”

“Let’s go.”

Leasis grabbed Hizen’s hand and strode somewhere. Hizen continued to smile silently, touching his tingling cheek.

Sitting on the top seat of the military affairs meeting room, Elnos frowned slightly. Despite the hard work, Leasis saluted him with a happy smile. Next to her was Hizen, stuck to her just like a gum.

The ring on Leasis’ hand bothered his eyes, so he just sighed. He had expected their relationship to turn like that since the two had come back, but he still felt bitter. In particular, he was disgusted by Hizen’s appearance, who looked so happy that he could die.

Elnos spoke with a stinging voice.

“Okay. Bring back peace in the Empire.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Why are you so happy? Whether they knew Elnos’ mind or not, the two went out of the military meeting room vigorously. Subsequently, Schwalnon and all the other important ministers left.

In the deserted meeting room, Elnos fiddled with his chin. Let’s get rid of Hizen. Elnos was agonizing over his usual vicious plans. Then Max, the only one left next to him, said quietly.

“Your Majesty, you can’t.”

“…What?”

“No matter what you’re thinking, you can’t do it.”

“You. You’ve been talking back too much lately.”

His shoulders were weighed down by the pressure. Max endured Elnos’ energy with a cold sweat. It was as if he was asking for more.

Elnos jumped out of his seat with irritation. There was no way to kill Max as long as he was on Blix’s side. He hated wasting time, so Elnos ran out of the military meeting room.

Bang!

Max whistled, looking at the completely broken door. As expected of someone with the same scary blood as Ashley.

I don’t know what kind of woman will be by his side, but it must be hard for her. Elnos, who had postponed and postponed the imperial wedding, had such a temper.

“You’d have to be nicer than Miss Leasis to accept his personality.’

Or as unusual as the Emperor. Max shrugged his shoulders.

It was a starry night. There were two people and four swords in front of the werewolves that dominated the forest. Leasis, who had her back against Setchen’s, skillfully swung her swords.

Quick!

Black liquid splashed on her cheek, and Setchen hurriedly swung his swords. The four white-colored swords pierced the werevolves’ foreheads in no time.

After attacking for a long time, the monsters became angrier and ran wild. The sharp silver-haired werewolves barked furiously and bared their teeth.

His uniform was already soaked with black liquid, so it was heavier and had a rotten smell. Setchen mumbled, wiping his eyelids with the back of his hand.

“Noona. Can’t you talk to these guys?”

“Yes…”

Leasis’ positive answer made Setchen look gloomy. In fact, Max had emphasized several times that this mission was hard before they started, but he had ignored it. He was confident because he was a member of the Imperial Elite Knights, who had one of the most extreme jobs in the Empire.

But the task of the Special Knights, which he was experiencing like that, was so difficult that he wanted to vomit. No, I can’t believe it’s just the two of us for a mission that would require all the Imperial Knights!

Clearly seeing labor exploitation, Setchen wielded his swords with both hands. The good news was that his skills and physical strength could support this hellish mission.

With Blix’s help, Setchen had grown up to be as good as Max. He was an unexpected talent.

‘Then what are you doing? It’s so hard!’

Setchen grumbled inwardly but managed to kill a monster. No matter how hard the mission was, he felt better here wielding a sword than at Liduré.

After some time, the bodies of the werewolves were all over the floor. Leasis piled up the bodies and took a scroll of fire out of her pocket.

A red flame engulfed the werewolves’ bodies. Leasis looked at the scene and closed her eyes, praying for peace.

Setchen realized that Leasis had become stronger. Her eyes in front of the fire were not trembling. It was quite different from before, when she could not approach the fire in Liduré.

Even without knowing it, Leasis was moving further forward. Setchen became moved by that fact and held his heart. One day, he wanted to be a knight with a strong body and mind like Leasis.

Of course, there were some bad sides as well. The smoke going up in the sky began to attract nearby monsters. Setchen cried at the situation that was forcing him to grab his sword again.

“Noona. Take a break and continue to burn the…”

“You stay still.”

Leasis spoke lightly and lifted her two swords. The energy flowing from her head to her toes was unusual.

The energy spread to the monsters nearby. A heavy mud monster approaching with a strange form suddenly stopped, and stayed on the ground, wiggling.

“Actually, there’s something I want to try.”

“What?”

“The swordsmanship of the Commander-nim.”

Leasis closed her eyes, recalling Hizen’s sword skills from the other day. The extreme ability to stop time and space that she had only read about in books.

If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed it. Leasis had been secretly trying to keep up with Hizen.

‘Now!

The energized swords shone at the same time, and space and time stopped. However, she was distressed because her body was slower than she thought.

She felt suffocating as if someone were strangling her, and it was even difficult to blink. How does Hizen use this ability? Leasis calmly collected her thoughts.

I’m sure Hizen didn’t breathe at that time.’

She concentrated, recalling Hizen’s vague appearance. As she stopped breathing, her movement became easier.

The next attack was key. Leasis clenched her hands holding the swords and looked at the number of enemies. There were at least hundreds of werewolves and monsters.

In that case, she should use an intangible sword to subdue them. Leasis focused her strength on her hand to exhale the sword.

‘Why is it not working?’

Embarrassed, Leasis failed to manifest the sword. It did not change even if she tried again and again. As time went by, her head went blank. As soon as she lost her judgment, a strong arm wrapped around her shoulders.

“Relieve your strength.”

Whispering, Hizen looked at Leasis’ posture. He could see her stiff shoulders and tense thighs at a glance.

Hizen reached out to correct her posture. So that she could hold the swords naturally and take a pose.

“It’s a skill that you can’t use if you’re not sure of yourself. Think of the sword as your friend and act like one.”

‘I got it.’

Leasis followed him, answering in her mind. She should not regard the sword as mere iron, but as a friend.

In an instant, a white energy shone brilliantly through the darkness. As expected of Leasis. Satisfied, Hizen smiled and took a few steps back.

Leasis swung the sword widely, and black liquid spurted from the bodies of the surrounding monsters. As time return to normal, Setchen opened his mouth looking at the mess around him. All the previously threatening monsters were scattered on the ground in rags.

“That’s amazing. Noona, how did you do this?”

Setchen, who had been asking thoughtlessly, shut up. Leasis was in Hizen’s arms, who had suddenly appeared.

Perhaps she had just fainted, but Leasis’ eyes were closed. As he noticed her breathing harsher than usual, Setchen asked anxiously.

“Commander-nim, is she all right?”

“She’ll get better after some rest.”

Supporting Leasis, Hizen looked at Setchen’s condition. He had a wound on his leg up to his elbow that also seemed to require treatment.

“Setchen. Return to the barracks with Leasis now. I’ll wrap it up.”

“Huh? I can do it with you.”

There was no need to finish. They had already wiped out all the monsters. As he was talking, Setchen closed his mouth.

Rumble.

With the echo of the ground, he saw a huge skeleton soldier approaching far away. It seemed that the turmoil just woke up the monster.

If he had to deal with such a monster, he would have to give up his body. Setchen smiled awkwardly and carried Leasis.

“Then I’ll go first.”

“Go.”

With a single word, Hizen held a sword in each hand. The sword that Leasis had used a while ago was thicker and brighter than his own.

‘I can’t be left behind.’

Strong rivals contributed to the development of outstanding knights. Hizen ran fast toward the skeleton soldier.
