Chapter 86 – 24. Deception (1)
“A duel… You mean?”
There is no sense of playfulness in Baron Elaine’s straight eyes, delivered with a bold proposal.
I looked her up and down.
Elaine is wearing a beige dress suitable for a celebration. This is a dress that blends gently with her white hair, like her first snow, and gives off a sense of brightness and fineness like a wild flower.
Unfortunately, her outfit is not very revealing. She doesn’t allow me to touch her skin from neck to toe, as if it were a dress appropriate for an important or solemn occasion. Even her sultry chalcedony was hidden inside her white gloves.
This further highlights Elaine’s innocent and chaste charm. I was almost seduced by her radiant scent of a beautiful maiden, but I soon conquered her heart.
The woman in front of me is not a peaceful existence like a girl in a fairy tale.
She is a knight who has been steadily training herself for years, and an enemy who stands in my way.
Anyway, a duel, a duel…
“The cost of the duel is obvious. If you win, hand over Ireina, or set her free… Is that what you mean?”
“That’s right.”
I’ve had a duel myself before.
A few months ago, at the academy entrance banquet held at the imperial palace, Hye-rin got into a fight with a bully who was teasing her. The graduate of the academy that year and also the limb of Prince Porcus, I treated him as an experiment and then killed him.
Now I can’t remember what his name was. It seems that he came from a fairly high family… It is questionable whether he is living well even outside the eyes of the first prince.
In any event, dueling is a traditional means of resolving disputes between nobles in a relatively simple, peaceful, and honorable way.
Owner of Ireina, Honorary Viscount Jihu Jeong
VS
Ireina’s childhood friend, Count Scott Brista’s son
It looks like two men fighting over a woman’s whereabouts.
Putting it this way, the current situation is the perfect condition to end it with a duel. Both sides are potential aristocrats, and whichever side wins will have a definite conclusion, so the loser has no choice but to shut his mouth and agree.
Of course the winner will be me.
But do I really need to respond?
“Elaine. As I said before, Ireina is a slave I legally acquired, and a precious gift from His Majesty the Emperor. It’s an offer I’m not very happy with.”
Ireina is already my possession, and Scott and Elaine’s nonsense is a desperate attempt to overturn the current situation.
I can gain an advantage over them just by maintaining the status quo. It is they who are more desperate right now, not me.
It is not a bad strategy to consistently not respond to the opponent’s proposal.
“So, tell me about the reward if I win.”
Scott and Elaine are like Japan. In the sense that Korea repeats unreasonable claims and nonsense because it wants to somehow take away Dokdo, which is effectively controlled by Korea.
If you don’t want to be treated like that, offer a price.
A carrot so attractive that I readily accepted the offer.
Thinking of the above, I glared at her eyes.
“······If you win, you may do whatever you want with my body for a day.”
It was very embarrassing and difficult to say, but with a firm will to say it anyway, Elaine told me.
The risk to bring me to the arena is her own body.
Every word of Elaine’s trembling voice lingers in my head. In addition, her pupils, which seem to be calm but sway slightly, and her hands are tightly clasped.
Contrary to her resolute and even somewhat noble declaration, her body expresses a refusal to stretch. I realized through her small but instinctive signals.
Elaine’s sincere desire to complete the duel and win, and the willingness to risk anything for this.
“…That’s ridiculous. Are you asking me to win a duel for a night with a girl? You’re treating me like some kind of horny roadside.”
“It’s not like that.”
“Then what is it? Or, since men are naturally vulnerable to temptation, did you think that if I did this, I’d be happy and follow them? You seem to have quite a bit of experience with men.”
I sneered at her, showing her anger that she didn’t really mean. It was her tone that insulted her in many ways, but it didn’t matter to her because it was she who touched her opponent’s honor first.
At the same time, I scanned Elaine again. Is she really attractive enough to consume my time? If I’m worthy of taking her of her.
The answer is Yes. The body of a female knight is also a body, but sleeping with a beauty who hates me is a rare opportunity.
So, please answer me quickly. Hurry up and make me a proper justification for the duel.
“… I am a virgin. I have never experienced a man in my life.”
First of all, Elaine refuted my attack.
I cheered inwardly upon hearing her declaration of virginity.
From now on, Elaine is not a shameless bitch, but a bitch woman.
She started walking towards me slowly, step by step.
“And… Wouldn’t it be strange if I fell in love with the benefactor who saved my life?”
Yes. I saved her life Elaine was also in the Cursreal estate as Scott’s servant, so she owed her life to me.
So, the reason why she presented herself as a prize for a duel was not because she insulted or belittled me, but because she wanted to repay me, and she came right up to my nose.
Even as Elaine spit out her confession of love, she did not change her expression one bit. There was no embarrassing blush or warm voice, only cold and hard momentum directed at me.
It can’t be either
The hostility that shimmered in her eyes.
A savage determination to accept the risk of allowing one’s body to the enemy.
However, the expression that can’t hide the feeling that he hates and fears even imagining it.
Her pretty, clean face.
And, her dazzling scent stings my nostrils.
All of Elaine’s elements acted as a crushing point, and my cock slowly swelled.
Even her bare dress began to look like the peel of a fruit. Her body, which she hides from the outside, burns her desire to peel her off as quickly as possible and savor her inner flesh.
‘I want it…’
What about this woman in bed?
Can I continue to be so confident and aggressive in the face of my energy? Will he be able to maintain his lofty and resolute will?
But it’s too early to accept her offer. There are still unresolved questions.
Elaine collapsed without being able to do anything in her Curse Real situation. On the other hand, I took the initiative to solve the case, thanks to my mythical level [Heaven] Attribute.
She knows very well She knows that hers and mine are on a different level. Nevertheless, Elaine asked me to a duel. What do you believe in?
If it were not for the curse, did she, the graduate and the knight, guess that she would be able to defeat me, still a student?
“But… There are two conditions.”
As expected, it was not a simple duel.
“First of all, I want our duel to be private. Just me and you, Scott-sama and Ireina-sama, and the referee being there.”
“I don’t care.”
Rather good. The duel should not be known to the outside world so that my external image is not damaged.
Elaine’s aim showed its sharpness in the second condition.
“And I want to compete with you only with pure skills, without the manifestation of attributes.”
Excluding the attributes of both sides, let’s fight with pure swords and mana.
Instead, if you win, I’ll let my body stay overnight.
She asked me for the above.
A battle of pure skill between an active female knight who graduated from the academy and a freshman at the academy. This is an environment that is too favorable for the former in common sense.
Now I know where her confidence comes from.
I didn’t answer right away and frowned. Then he folded his arms and rolled his eyes here and there, taking a moment.
Elaine nervously watched my reaction, as if I was in deep trouble.
Of course, it was all smoke.
Academy freshmen? The magician who taught me at the imperial palace before admission said that my magic power and mana management skills had already surpassed the category of a graduate.
Active duty here? I bet you can defeat her even without her attributes. Even if you think you’re going to lose, Iris is hiding and she just needs to intervene.
My victory is certain.
However, I stayed still for a long time as if I was in trouble. She kept waiting for my answer, and I reluctantly opened my mouth.
“Then I have a condition.”
“What is it?”
“If I win, you will leave House Brista and come under me. And you will spend the night with me before the duel.”
“······.”
“I believe that your feelings for me are sincere, and give me a chance to repay you regardless of victory or defeat.”
Demands her with her logic. Give yourself up first before the duel.
If you want to set up a one-sided duel, take off your clothes.
“Thank you. Can I go to benefactor’s bed tonight?”
Elaine had already made up her mind to throw away her body. A woman who once crossed the line is easily swayed.
Besides, the more desperate side of her now is her, not me. So, not only did she accept my request, but she said, “Let’s get rid of it today and stamp it.”
“Of course, you are welcome.”
I pulled her shoulders with both arms. Elaine did not resist. Her dress was cold, and her scent was pure.
A bright smile bloomed on my face that Elaine couldn’t see. Maybe tonight will be long and fun, so I’m looking forward to it.
The woman in my arms also had her triumphant smile, but I couldn’t see it.

‘I succeeded…!’
〈Jung Ji-hoo and Elaine do not use attributes in a duel.〉
He unknowingly agreed to the above terms. This greatly increased the chance that Ireina-nim would be released.
Elaine doesn’t trust herself that much. Jeong Ji-hoo is a self-proclaimed genius. She is probably stronger than her even without her attributes.
It doesn’t matter though. Because this is not the end of her goal.
Elaine examined her own naked body in her bathroom mirror. Through her steady management, her exposed muscles and lean body were reflected in white.
In exchange for giving up this body for a day, I got a valuable opportunity.
A knight must do his best for his master.
“Ireina-nim, please wait a moment.”
Her self-talk echoed hollowly.
‘I’ll just have to wait an hour at most.’
A relationship with Jung Ji-hoo would be a very terrible feeling of soiling herself, but she herself will never have a relationship with a man anyway.
Ireina-nim has endured for several months. But should the article not endure for just one moment?
‘Let’s keep our minds straight. It will be over soon.’
Elaine’s commitment lasted less than three minutes with her daughter.
“Huh! Ha, that, stop… Hahhhhh!!”
“As expected, it is a national rule that there is no fidelity living here.”
