The Death Knight Became an Escort Knight for the Saintess - Chapter 148



143. Why do I have to break up with the knight?!

143.

Esthenes touched the part where his right thigh and side joined once. I didn’t feel the bumps that the wound created. He twisted his side a couple of times and kicked his right leg up once, just in case, but there was no discomfort in his movement. Esthenes looked down at her saintess with a rather admiring expression.

“You are doing quite well.”

Esilia’s expression upon hearing those words was very strange. Her eyes were wide open and the corners of her mouth were twitching. It was as if she couldn’t stand her tickling. And the direction of her tickling seemed to be upward. She kept trying her hardest to get up. However, Esilia, like her saintly woman, was managing the corners of her lips that she could not restrain herself.

That alone was great. However, thanks to her, there was one thing she didn’t care about.

It was only after she successfully controlled the corners of her mouth that Escelia noticed that she had put her own hands on her sides and held her breasts out proudly. She didn’t know, maybe it was only natural that her mouth would open and an ‘Ah!’ Came out.

The reactions of the two men and women were different. Esthenes laughed, and Zerfied let out a deep sigh. Seeing the reactions of her two men and women, the saintess finally hid herself behind the Death Knight’s back and only showed off half of her face.

She sighed once more and said Jer Peed.

“Then, please guide me to the place where Lailpara’s necklace is.”

At those words, Estnes put on a somewhat absurd expression.

” Did you usually do a ‘request’ while aiming at the Partisans like that?”

However, Death Knight’s Partizan didn’t seem to want to back down. Zer Pied also kept moving as it seemed to share her thoughts with Partizan.

“For Partizan, this is an attitude of ‘request’.”

Esthenes sighed as she placed her hand on her forehead.

“Hey. I wish I could guide you right now, but it’s not that simple, is it? The sun is slowly setting too. Besides, I’m quite mentally tired right now, so I’m not in the right state to guide. Because of who is making that ‘request’.”

Esthenes’ explanation was quite reasonable. Zerfied pointed slightly above Partizan and towards the sky.

“Then, when can I receive guidance?”

“Well, no matter how bad it is, it should be the next day.”

I didn’t hear an answer from Zerpied. Instead, it was the Partisans pointing towards Esthenes who voiced her will. It was as natural a movement as the wind. To Partizan’s movements, Zerfied added a bit of detail.

“The Partisans don’t seem to think so. Is there any possibility that you will escape overnight?”

Esthenes frowned in displeasure at the Death Knight’s explanation. But it was a moment. In the next moment Esthenes opened his mouth slightly. It was an expression that no matter who saw it, it was absurd.

“I don’t know how I get away from you. Moreover… ….”

Esthenes tilted his head slightly. Then he opened his eyes and looked at Zer P. Ed.

“Do undead even sleep?”

“Of course I don’t sleep, but… ….”

Zer Pied pointed to his rear with his chin. Seeing where Zer Pied was pointing, Estenes tilted his head even more than before. Where he pointed, Essilya stood with her head sticking out.

“That girl? What is that girl doing?”

“Look around here, I don’t think she’ll be able to get her sleep right. Unlike me, she is alive.”

“Aha, are you worried about Lady?”

Following Zerpied’s words, the gold dragon slowly looked around. It was as he said. The surroundings were like gravel fields. Esthenes sighed. It was so deep that even a breath seemed to come out.

“Yeah, okay. Can you give me a place to sleep?”

Esthenes, seeing that the Partizan did not go up, quickly added a word.

“A place where you can see my rare.”

Only then did the Partizan start looking at the sky with satisfaction.

–

The place Esthenes had prepared was a cave on the other side, some distance from her lair. It was a place slightly away from where they had passed. As Esilia carefully examined its interior, she seemed to know why they hadn’t found it.

Aside from being chased by Drake, in front of the cave, rocks the size of her height rose sparsely. Of course, it didn’t matter too much to Death Knight.

He was four and a half cubits tall and could see what Esthenes was doing on the other side. So, Zerfied realized why Esthenes was reluctant to see the sun go down.

“Kreurreuk… ….”

As the darkness swims, several shadows wriggled between the mountains at night.

Polyps. It was time for the nocturnal polyps to begin their activities. Large drakes, wyverns, and lintworms attacked all over the place. Certainly, the dragon species living here in the Amurtat Mountains had a different physique than the previous two mountains. I thought it was because of the richer living environment.

The raid was covert and quiet. It seemed that the purpose was assassination rather than raiding. In a way, that is correct. Rare’s owner, Esthenes, must be eliminated so that she can take over the cave she lives in.

The gold dragon’s response to him was also secretive. By minimizing the exposure of the magic circle, the heads of the drakes and wyverns were cut off as if the memory was attacking.

I saw that Lindwurm, who was about to make a quick attack as if he was taking a shot down from the air, flew back at a speed similar to the speed at which he came down after brushing by Esthenes’ breath – considering the effect of gravity, it was a flight that almost ignored the limits of the body. Zerfied was a little dumbfounded.

-Chae Haaaaa

As the call to lint flew away, Esthenes scattered her breath all over her, cementing the fact that this was her rare. After seeing the fire rise, the assailants hurriedly began to flee.

After confirming that Rare had calmed down, Estenes let out her breath once more as if she was satisfied, then turned her heavy body and laid her inside her. The swaying gold eyes soon closed, and the gigantic body exhaled at regular intervals.

“Humnya…… ?”

It was an instant, but when her surroundings became bright enough to be comparable to daytime, the saintess who was sleeping leaning on him trembled. The saintess, who woke up rubbing her eyes, asked a question while halfway lifting her eyelids, which were still covered with sleep.

“Has the morning sun already woken up, driver…… ?”

At her words, the Death Knight smiled and stroked her white blonde hair.

“It can’t be. I must have looked at the wrong starlight. Sleep more I will wake you up when morning comes.”

As the Death Knight’s large hand stroked her, she felt a strange sense of security come to her. She smiled and rubbed her head against the Death Knight’s body.

“Umm… I can’t sleep. Tomorrow, you’re going to find the last divine power armor… ?”

The death knight nodded her head at the question she spoke with her eyes fully open.

“Yes.”

“Ummm, um… …. Then, then, then, sir…….”

“Tell me.”

“At the end… At the very end… If you succeed in protecting me…….”

The gentle voice of the saintess crashed onto the forearm of the Death Knight who leaned against it. Death Knight felt like she was submerged in water for a moment.

It felt like being submerged in a calm deep sea, where there was no swell, or rather being embraced by water, as if being embraced by amniotic fluid in the beginning. Death Knight slowly looked down at her head. The blue and red eyes of her saintess were looking up at her.

“Wherever you want… Won’t you go…… ?”

“I want… place…… ?”

“Yes… , where you want……. Not like now, where I have to stop because I’m trying to escape… Places we really want… I want to visit the places I really want to visit with the driver.”

Death Knight slowly rubbed her eyes. Her eyelids felt as if they were closing for an eternity. Even in that strange eternity, the saintess’ laughter was eternal.

His lips moved.

‘Of course.’

He almost said that without realizing it. Let’s do that

If all of this is over, let’s walk on top of the hill together while smelling the first spring flowers.

Soaking in the midsummer sunlight, listening to the sound of the waves singing, let’s slowly soak in the sea together for hours and hours.

Let’s watch the performance of the fallen leaves in late autumn and watch the whole world put on the scarlet mantle.

Smell the scent of the first snow blown by the wind on a winter night, let’s play a little mischievous prank where we are the first to caress the pristine whiteness.

I wanted to say that.

But that wasn’t the case.

“Eshil… Lia…….”

His voice almost cracked. The image of a saintess was reflected in his blood-red eyes.

“Yes?”

The saintess was smiling brightly. It made her look even more split. It wasn’t a voice. She made him split.

“I can’t.”

“……… Yes?”

The saintess’ smile disappeared.

“I can’t.”

“It could be… No…… ?”

Death Knight had to squeeze his voice.

“Once the contract is completed… We can’t be together….”

“That… What do you mean…… ?”

I couldn’t find any laughter in the saintess’ voice. Rather, the exact opposite feeling was buried.

“Horse… meaning as it is. When the contract ends… Because you and I are no longer in a relationship……. I have to break up… Hao…….”

Death Knight’s final words sounded almost like a will. And most wills always have opponents.

“No!”

“Esilia… ….”

“I… I am… I don’t want to part! Why do I have to break up with the driver?!”

“Esilia…… Unfortunately… I can’t help it.”

“I hate it!!”

“Esilia… It’s already been decided….”

“What do you mean by that… Is it decided….”

“……… I’m sorry.”

“Why… why… why…… !”

I couldn’t hear the saintess’ words anymore. Rather, it sounded like her words mixed with her cries. Ecilia’s small gestures followed her cries.

Tear marks, which had already spread too much, flowed down the saintess’ white cheeks without any momentum to dry. It was after a while that the saintess, who had only heard her breathing, spoke her words.

The saintess stared at her Death Knight, and then slowly began to lie down. She then patted the seat next to her with her hand. It wasn’t too hard to realize what that meant. The Death Knight faced her saintess and carefully lay down next to her.

As soon as he lay down, the saintess hugged him. The pounding of her heart passed through her chest as she buried her face.

“I want to sleep like this today… ….”

The Death Knight did not answer. He just gently hugged her saintess. He slowly stroked the hair of the saintess who had embraced her.

Her saintly cries gradually stopped.

However, the Death Knight knew that she was still crying.
