Chapter 14 – 6. Monopoly (3)
“Amer, you should never trust men. All men are like monkeys in heat, thinking only dirty thoughts all day long.”
The eldest sister warned Amer of the dangers and violence of men countless times after Amer finished her menarche.
Her sister’s opinion is understandable. It is also a biological fact that men have a higher sex drive than women, and considering what happened in the past between her sister and her Porcus brother, it is natural for her sister to stay away from men.
Indeed, as her older sister continued to thwart her father’s frequent attempts to find a husband for her, she insisted solely on her knightly path.
Amer admired her older sister, who did not stop training her even after developing skills comparable to the Imperial Five Rings (五鏡) at a very young age.
But she also feels repulsive.
She was curious about the man. She was curious about the process of dating and marriage. She wanted to experience the feeling of love.
When her sister was in her palace, male nobles were prevented from approaching her at her various banquets.
However, her older sister is not here, having gone on an expedition to subdue the cultists with the Holy Knights.
Also, as if the god had heard her wish, Amer awakened the [Beauty] Attribute that can win the love of many men.
“Amer. You can’t fall in love with Park Min-ho.”
Her second sister gave her this advice when she came out after receiving instructions from her father to flirt with her Minho Park.
Park Min-ho is the first man to be friendly with Amer on an equal footing.
He is handsome and upright. He always acts for others and knows how to be considerate of the woman he is with.
What’s more, he’s never given Amer a naughty glance.
Her attributes Since her awakening, the eyes of men who see her have changed drastically. Choi Ji-hoon, whom he meets at every executive meeting, is always full of lust, and Jeong Ji-hoo also occasionally scans her breasts or hips.
However, Park Min-ho’s eyes have never shown sexual desire.
Amer liked Minho like that. I don’t think love is yet, but crush is certain.
It hasn’t been long since they met, but he has a woman’s intuition that if she marries him he will be happy.
‘Wouldn’t her eldest sister have no choice but to acknowledge her as much as Minho?’
Her second sister’s advice has long been out of her mind.
One problem is that he has a girlfriend who he truly loves.
Seong Ah-young.
Kind, pretty, talented.
‘But he’s not my adversary.’
I will steal Park Min-ho.
To this end, the banquet was used as an opportunity to go alone and lead him to an empty room in the corner. She then pretended to be drunk and she tripped over his leg.
A dress torn in the process is a bonus.
Today, I will tell Minho that there is an option called Amer.
“Mi, it’s Minho…”
Park Min-ho felt as if his head would break.
‘How did this happen…?’
He must have attended the academy banquet, paired up with Amer, and made friends with various nobles…
Amer’s legs hurt, so I entered an empty room to rest for a while…?
‘Why is Amer lying under me…?’
If so, like
‘It looks like I’m attacking him…!’
Maybe it’s because I drank too much, my head hurts.
A schoolboy of his, he never drank while underage. Even after he became an adult and awakened to his attributes, he never drank freely as he went through busy days.
Today is the day he drank the most in his entire life.
‘My drinking was so trash…’
Had I known this would happen, I would have drank moderately from the glass the nobles were pouring.
Amer just stared into Park Min-ho’s eyes without any movement.
There are two ways out of this situation.
Either get her up quickly and walk away, apologizing to her that it was her mistake and clearing her of this place.
Or, hug her who doesn’t resist her as she is.
Naturally, Park Min-ho in a normal state would choose the former.
It is because he has a precious and lovely girlfriend named Seong Ah-young.
But now, he couldn’t find Seong Ah-yeong in his mind.
‘It’s fortunate that there’s not a single part that touches my body. Get off like this, just come out… And you’ll be done…’
The reason Park Min-ho can’t think rationally is not only because he is drunk.
Amer’s magical power was seeping into his mind.
The [Beauty] Attribute is optimized for seduction and sex.
The effect, of course, does not stop at the level of having the best physical condition.
Amer’s attributes are specialized in mental interference.
Although she can’t manifest authority yet, she can at least put attributes into her magical powers.
As the mana released in the form of sweat evaporated, it created an erotic atmosphere around them.
For him to breathe her air, make sure nothing but her thoughts come to mind.
‘Hurry···. Hurry···!’
I would like to have my first experience in a sweeter and more romantic atmosphere, but this is impossible.
If so, let’s engrave the guilt of ‘Amer’ in his heart.
Since Park Min-ho is not a great man to eat and abandon the woman who took his virginity, this is the fastest and most efficient way for Amer to connect with him.
In the unlit room, only Amer’s two eyes, filled with magic, were shining brightly in pink.
Then a weak wind blew.
As the air that came in through the slightly open door crossed the room and went out the window, a familiar scent seeped into Park Min-ho’s nostrils.
In his life, the scent he smells the most after his family.
At the same time, his mind instantly became clear.
If Amer’s attribute is specialized in mental interference, Park Min-ho’s [Light] Attribute strengthens his mental resistance.
The confrontation between the spear and the shield ended with the victory of the man who had just realized that he was the shield.
Park Min-ho’s rationality, which had grown even further, instantly grasped the cause of this situation.
“Mi, Minho…?”
“I’m sorry, Amer. It was a mistake. Are you okay? Are you not hurt?”
“Yes···.”
Taking care as best he could to keep their skin from touching each other, he rose slowly. Amer too, realizing that her ruse had been ruined, woke up chewing on her lips.
“The dress is all broken… Here’s a spare dress in the closet. You’d better wear this.”
“Minho… I am…”
“And I don’t know why… I hope this doesn’t happen next time.”
After that, Park Min-ho left the room without waiting for an answer. This is because it is much more important to talk with Ah-young, who will be anxious outside the room, than Amer right now.
Seeing his eyes colder than before, Amer wanted to cry.
* * *
“Phew···.”
“Your Highness, what are you doing?”
“No, Leah. Thank you for your concern.”
Sonny Elle gave her a sigh of relief as he swept through her radiant blonde hair.
Fortunately, Amer and Park Min-ho did not cross the line.
‘As planned…’
The correct answer was to inform Seong Ah-young, who was looking for Park Min-ho in the bathroom, where he was.
I want to support her sister’s first love, but…
‘Anyway, the ending is decided. My younger sister, Mr. Seong Ah-yeong, and me too…’
If Amer loses her virginity,
For Soniel’s younger brother, even tougher and tougher days await.
All Sonny Elle can do is choose the least smooth path to her decided end.
She shouldn’t recklessly stimulate ‘Heaven”s desire for exclusivity.
‘Like that guy…’
Her starry eyes captured the image of two figures arguing in the middle of the banquet hall.
* * *
“Who are you?”
“…Huh, oh, I’m really dumbfounded.”
A frivolous yellow-haired man threw his bangs back and frowned.
“Is that what you said to me?”
“Then who else besides you?”
The glass was empty and she was on her way to refill her drink. She was trying to grab Hye-rin’s wrist by a man who looked like a jerk.
The moment I witnessed it, an unknown impulse surged from the depths of my heart.
When I came to my senses, I found that I was holding his wrist tightly.
“Arthur, kid. This is not your place.”
The yellow dagger, Kyle, tried to shake his arm violently to clear his opponent’s hand, but failed.
‘This guy’s strength…?’
I didn’t know, so I asked Hyerin.
“Did I interrupt you?”
Hyerin’s face was as cold as ice.
“No. He suddenly saw me and asked me to follow him, and he tried to drag me somewhere.”
“I’m glad.”
He gave more strength to the hand that gripped her arm. Kyle started to feel pain in her arm, where her blood wasn’t getting through.
Just because I’m taking magic classes instead of swordsmanship doesn’t mean my body is weak.
I regularly train my body at least three times a week.
[Heaven]’S talents apply to physical activities, and I was able to become stronger at an extraordinary speed.
Of course, Hyerin, who trains and learns swordsmanship, is stronger than me…
“Aren’t you going to let this go?”
Kyle growled. Like this hand, if you raise your mana, you can shake it off at any time. However, he was bound by the rule that he must not use magical power recklessly in the imperial palace.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen this face. It looks like I’m a freshman entering this time. I’m a senior who’s graduating now, right?”
“So, what does the graduate want to do with Hyerin?”
Anger wells up in the depths of my heart. I can’t stand the harsh tone and the ugly eyes.
I always aim for calm and rational thinking.
It is obviously in an abnormal state.
It was a subtle feeling, as if I had entrusted myself to an instinct I did not know.
“Ha, that’s absurd. I’m carrying out the order of His Highness, the first prince, the next sun of the empire. You don’t have anything to do with it, so get out of here.”
I looked at the luxurious table located higher up, pointed by Kyle’s glance. Amidst the wide table full of delicacies, a certain pig was staring at us.
Is that guy the First Prince of Cairos, who was the first Prince of Forcus?
Is that pig?
Didn’t I say that all the noble bloodlines of the royal family are excellent in off-white?
The 2nd Prince Dave, whom I met earlier, is also quite handsome, isn’t it?
I wanted to meet the 2nd princess the most today, but she got involved with the 1st princess I didn’t want to meet.
“Let’s figure out the subject, huh? You’re following me—”
“Why me? You don’t like me?”
Min Hye-rin’s cold yet pleasing refusal made the air around her even more chilly. It’s the first time I’ve seen her look serious.
“···What?”
Indeed, is that the famous idioty prince? If so, the purpose of taking Min Hye-rin is understandable.
His eyes must have gone back to the overwhelming beauty he had seen for the first time.
“Did you hear? We have nothing to do with you or him, so please pass it along.”
The first prince would be a man of great power. Ireina’s family was also ruthlessly destroyed by his faction.
No matter how much we are the summoners who will determine the future of the empire, such an attitude would have crossed the line when we were still nothing.
You should apologize to him and politely decline.
I have to do it quickly, but both my body and my head refuse to do it.
Kill Kyle right in front of your eyes,
I gouge out the eyes of the first prince who dared to cheat on my woman,
I want to drag Hye-rin to my room and eat her as proof that she is my woman and carve into every corner of her body.
Irrational.
I have never felt such a need in my life until today.
‘Why am I suddenly like this?’
At repeated resistance, Kyle’s face went red.
“Because these are the ones I really want to see…!!”
“What’s the fuss about?”
“Your Highness the Second Prince!”
His Highness Dave came to my side. Suddenly, the band at the banquet hall stopped playing, and everyone who remained was looking at the scene.
“I was in the middle of teaching for a while because prospective nobles who had not yet entered the academy repeatedly insulted me as a graduate and noble.
Kyle calmed her tremors of anger and politely bowed her head in response.
“Um, yeah? I guess they think differently? Is Kyle right?”
“Your Highness, this person tried to drag me away, so Jihoo stopped it.”
Hyerin answered the question on behalf of me, who was confused.
“Your Highness, I had no intention of forcing her on my honor.”
“This person tried to grab my wrist until Jihoo stopped it.”
“The two of them speak differently. It seems that status and honor are intertwined…”
2nd Prince Dave nodded her head and continued her words.
“Since ancient times, it has been tradition to resolve trivial conflicts between nobles through a duel. How about having a fight with Kyle and Jihoo?”
“Your Highness, are you serious?”
Do you think her only freshman will be her own opponent, Kyle expressed her doubts to her prince with her eyes. Although he graduates from the academy this time with below-average grades, he has grown significantly compared to his freshman year.
“I’m good.”
“…Don’t regret it.”
“Since both sides agreed, it’s a duel! What about the handicap?”
“No need.”
“Hoo?”
Dave’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Huh. This is so bold.”
Kyle shook her head, and suddenly she was aware of her current condition. He had left his main weapon, the magic weapon, in the room while attending a banquet.
‘Looking at this guy’s grip, he must be a knight or a fighter. It’s so strong that I can’t move…’
If the duel is fought right now in an imperfect state, there is an extremely rare chance that the graduate will suffer a disgraceful defeat by the freshman.
Therefore, Kyle suggested.
“I’m drinking now and there’s not much of an audience, so how about arranging a date later?”
“I don’t care either.”
“Yes, then. I will decide the place and time and let you know later!”
Like that, I ended up dueling with an academy graduate before I even entered school.
* * *
“It’s about time.”
Dave’s brother mediated between Ji-Hoo and an unknown nobleman and obtained the promise of a duel.
Everything was the same as the fate shown by the future poetry.
Finally, the wagon of fate began to roll.
Her Sonny Elle listened to her self-talk and asked her Leah, who met her eyes with her.
“Please tell me that you are inviting Jeong Ji-hoo to my heavenly palace.”
“Yes, I understand.”
It wasn’t long before he offered his master a woman named Soniel di Cairos.
