CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 37 - A DUEL?

My overly honest erection drew laughter from Elaina and a smile that wanted to tease me on a morning like this.

Seeing her underwear in the empty bucket she was carrying after her bath, I tried to make a conversation that seemed normal to her.

"Do you want to take a bath?" I asked without trying to give any information about myself, as I already knew she had just finished bathing.

Elaina immediately shook her head.

"I just finished taking a bath, that’s why my underwear is in the bucket," Elaina replied, holding back the laughter that almost escaped her mouth.

"What about you, Hans? Want to do something in the morning after dressed up like this?" she continued, noticing the uniform I was wearing.

"Yes, I have some work to do at the moment. Let’s just say it’s a job, that I was forced to do to survive after becoming a fallen noble," I replied, drawing Elaina’s sympathy for my current predicament.

As one of the important NPC characters who will be useful to the main male character, I try not to get too involved in every problem that is happening to Elaina.

In the first Chapter of this world’s story, Elaina probably won’t be involved in any serious political conflict as long as she remains on the front lines and oversees the refugee camps that will soon be moved to the Royal Capital. But she will be involved as the story progresses.

"I’m sorry about that," Elaina replied, looking at me sadly.

Deg...

Deg...

Deg...

Suddenly, I felt my heart beat painfully when I saw Elaina’s sad expression.

I don’t know what kind of feeling I’m experiencing right now. It feels like a heart attack, but that’s not what’s was happening right now.

Maybe, the body of the character I am possessing seems to be responding to the sadness that Elaina is experiencing, like someone important in his life before he died, and before his body was possessed by me.

My hand immediately caressing Elaina’s long hair, which felt rough and wet.

"Don’t look at me with such a sad look, it doesn’t suit your beautiful and sweet face like this."

I don’t know what possessed my soul, but suddenly I turned into someone who looked gentle in front of Elaina.

The impression of me as gentle is the opposite of my real attitude and behavior.

"Well, could you just smile a little so I can kiss your tempting lips on a morning like this?"

"Even though I’m not your fiancé anymore, I can kiss a cute female knight like this, right?"

Caress...

Caress...

My actions, which looked like someone who had no manners, made Elaina smile, and she couldn’t hold back her laughter.

"Pfffttt... pretending like a romantic person doesn’t suit you, Hans," she said while laughing and pulling my hand that was caressing her still-wet hair.

"To make it even more romantic, you should kiss me on the lips first before stripping me naked. Do you want to do that now?" Elaina continued, her expression now looking like she was challenging and tease me.

I’ve actually thought about this before.

The person who became my fiancé was able to change her facial expression in an instant, and that made it difficult for me to understand what was truly in her head.

Whether she was a lazy female knight or just wanted to go to the front lines of battle just to avoid the political situation that was happening inside the Royal Palace, I had no idea.

The only connection I know of from an NPC like Elaina is her contribution to the male main character, who becoming a knight who is guided by the honorable attitude of chivalry.

If it compared to me, of course, it will be very different because I come from the modern world.

Honorable sword fighting is very different from fighting with modern firearms.

"I’ll do that another day, thanks for the offer," I said as I pulled the bucket Elaina was holding and took her dirty underwear.

"I’ll take this underwear as a reminder that you once said something like this. Even if you get engaged or married to another man, I’ll still ask for it," I continued, taking Elaina’s slightly wet underwear.

Blush...

What I had done seemed like a shameful thing to Elaina.

It even made her body tremble, and her face was immediately filled with a pink blush.

With this great opportunity, I immediately brought my lips closer to kiss her.

Chuupp...

Without giving any warning, I kissed Elaina’s lips and played with her tongue passionately.

Slurp...

The kiss I was giving on her lips turned into a kiss full of sensual passion, my lips started sucking her tongue to give her a deep kissing sensation that intoxicated her.

Elaina immediately pushed me away after feeling satisfied with her intoxicating kiss.

"Hans... Haaaahh... Aaah," Elaina called out to me with heavy, gasping breaths.

"Want one more?" I said, offering a second kiss.

"W-Wait a minute, let me catch my breath first," replied Elaina, who was still panting with heavy breathing.

I just smiled and tried to enjoy this free time by watching a woman who was just exhausted after feeling a deep kiss.

Elaina quickly caught her breath and suddenly glanced at me with eyes filled with lust.

"Before we continue kissing."

"Ummm... can I ask you something about something else first?" asked Elaina, who suddenly looked serious, and the lust-filled look in her eyes disappeared.

As I expected, Elaina was able to control her emotions well, as if she had undergone spy training and was able to control her emotions and facial expressions freely.

With her many facial expressions changing so quickly, I had no idea what Elaina was thinking. Even Melissa’s calm expression was still easy to read.

"Hans, were you just thinking about another woman while you were alone with me?" asked Elaina, who could read my mind perfectly.

"Yes, I was thinking of someone unique... like you," I replied, not hiding anything from her.

"Kuuuhh, you’re too honest with your ex-fiancé. I’d normally be mad, but you just lost your memory. I’d feel guilty if I got mad at someone who just lost their memory."

At times like this, my memory loss card works just fine.

I feel lucky that my amnesia has become a trump card that I can use at any time.

"Well, I was just thinking about a woman who was already mine," I said to test how much effect my trump card could have.

I felt like I was playing with fire that could burn anything quickly.

Elaina’s expression suddenly turned flat, and she looked at me with trembling eyes.

"Hans, what does that mean?" asked Elaina, who now looked like a teenage girl shocked by something she had just learned.

"As you may have heard, I am currently working on something related to the remaining assets I have. Especially with the women who have given their souls, bodies, and love to me."

"How could that happen? Wait... how could that even happen?" Elaina looked like a deranged teenage girl with her sanity as thin as tissue.

The slightest mistake would make Elaina go crazy, after her tissue-thin sanity was torn.

"It’s going to be a bit of a long story..." I tried my best not to tear through Elaina’s thin line of sanity like that.

Whether it worked or not, I immediately explained what had been happening lately, including all the women who were close to me.

Tap...

Tap...

While I explained something that had happened to me recently and my worries as a fallen noble, we walked until we reached a women’s military tent that was being used by Elaina and her fellow female knights.

"Heeeh... so that’s what’s going on," Elaina said after I finished explaining what had happened lately.

"I really wanted to get angry after hearing that. But our relationship at this point is just that of ex-fiancé."

"It would be too much for me to be angry with a man I love after sleeping with another woman who has submitted to him."

Tap...

Tap...

As I walked beside her and almost approached the women’s military tent, which was starting to get busy with various activities, Elaina suddenly stopped and looked at me with a serious look in her eyes.

"Hans... you said... You want to enroll in the Royal Academy as a commoner and try to get a scholarship if possible?" asked Elaina, who seemed doubtful about my plan.

"Yes, is there anything wrong with this one plan of mine?"

"There’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s just a rumor, right?"

"It’s just a rumor, but considering the current state of the kingdom, it could very well happen."

"It’s true, with the current state of the kingdom, it could happen."

I almost answered it with the knowledge of the main storyline that was happening at the moment.

"At least, that’s the plan I’m currently formulating. Whether it’ll be hell or endless hardship as a former noble, I’ll figure it out later..." I said with a smile and stopped in front of the female knight’s military tent.

As I stopped in front of the military tent, several naked female knights were smiling at me.

"I guess, I can only take you this far," I said before any trouble arose after a few naked female knights smiled at me.

Paanngg...

Taanngg...

After I said that, a sword was suddenly thrown at me, bouncing off the ground. The ricochet landed near me, and a completely naked female knight appeared, as if challenging me to a duel.

"Tell me, Elaina..."

"What’s going on right now?" I asked Elaina, who was lowering her head and breathing heavily.

In an instant, several female knights who were still completely naked immediately formed a circle like a fighting arena.

"Forgive me, Hans."

"It seems my Captain is too bored and wants to duel with a man," said Elaina, which made me sigh heavily and feel the heavy burden of being a man who would be the victim of a woman’s cruelty.

Gripp...

Taking the sword that was thrown near me, I answered the duel challenge given by the naked Female Knight Captain.

"Elaina, please prepare an emergency stretcher that can be used to transport your dying Captain," I said to Elaina as I walked towards the Female Captain.

"Okay, I’ll prepare it. E-Eeehh?!" replied Elaina, suddenly confused by my words.

"Holy Shit!"

"Seriously, that young man is looking for death?"

"What a pity... he still young."

Besides Elaina, who was confused, several female knights were also confused about what would happen after I accepted the duel challenge from a Female Knight Captain.
