Chapter 767 – 767 Yggdrasil (6)
“Kyaaaaa, kill the face… No, you finally came out. I am Seong Soo-ho, the princess’ acting escort today. I will guide you to the Weatherlock family.”
“…”
Like a halo pouring out, the setting sun poured out from Stella’s back.
And in the leaf-like eyes that match the emerald-colored hair…
‘Kya… It kills my expression.’
It seemed that the buds of disgust were sprouting green.
But that was all.
Stella didn’t respond to my words, and I just stared at her.
Stella stared with disgust, then began to stare at my armor.
The armor I’m wearing right now was the [Arvos Royal Armor] I stole from Guild On.
Stella, who had been staring at her armor like that, opened her mouth, frowning at her.
“What did you do with the guards who were escorting me?”
It was a perfect situation to misunderstand.
It was a situation where you could think I’d taken care of all the guards.
I started explaining to clear up her misunderstanding.
“Kuhm, it’s a bit long to say…”
I explained everything that happened at the VIP Casino.
A confrontation with Guild-on, followed by a confrontation with his subordinates.
And to their current situation…
“So… The guards who were escorting you decided to work for me for the time being.”
“…”
Stella looked at me with eyes full of absurdity.
All the guys I brought for escort fell into gambling and sold points, items, and even their own bodies.
If you’re calm here, that’s a person… No, not an elf.
Stella let out a few shallow sighs, then she told me firmly.
“So you’re saying you’ve been my bodyguard?”
“Huh. Aren’t my skills enough?”
Actually, I think Stella will take my word for it, and she didn’t make this up.
What I did now was a kind of provocation.
I’ve taken care of all the guards you trusted and relied on, and you have to stay here for two weeks.
The provocation of saying that the only person you should rely on right now is me…
I knew that Stella would react with great enthusiasm to my provocation.
But Stella…
“Great. Let’s go.”
With a graceful gesture, she nodded her head and told me to take the lead.
“… ?”
Hot is hot
I hope you accept it like that…
As I stared at her blankly, Stella narrowed her eyebrows beautifully and said,
“By the way, since you have claimed to be my escort, I will tell you a word of caution. Don’t make me say it twice.”
Haha…”
Suddenly, I became Stella’s bodyguard.
‘Since it looks interesting, shall we tune it to the rhythm?’
So I took Stella and took the lead and came out of the hotel.
As the guildon had told you beforehand, a carriage sent from the Wedlock family was waiting at the entrance of the hotel.
And all the way to the wagon, Stella and I received the eyes of countless people.
(What is it? Did the princess visit again?)
(Be careful. If you make eye contact, you’ll get stabbed right away.)
(That’s right. You stabbed me right in the eye for looking at me the other day, right?)
(Besides, the murder of the elves is also overlooked here to some extent…)
Stella seemed already a famous figure.
Even the summoners who would have been smitten with Min Ha-yeon and Han Bom did not approach Stella.
But there was one problem.
It was the fact that Stella wasn’t the only celebrity.
(By the way, why is there only one bodyguard… Is that a human?)
(Uh!? Isn’t that Seong Su-ho?)
(No, what is that…?)
Everyone started looking at me and Stella as if they were looking at a strange combination.
However, the viewing time was not long.
Upon arriving at the carriage, out of courtesy, I opened the carriage door and waited for Stella to board.
But…
“Are you saying I’m going alone?”
“… Huh?”
When I noticed what this was all about, Stella held out her hand with a slightly frustrated expression.
It meant holding my hand so that I could support myself as I climbed into the carriage.
“I think you should have understood this.”
Haha…”
I was honestly surprised.
I never thought that Stella, who hated even looking at me, would ask me to hold her hand.
I smiled at this unique elf and held her hand.
Stella was wearing white gloves that covered her entire forearm.
She only regretted not being able to touch her bare hands.
‘What… In the first place, I’m also wearing heavy armor, so it’s meaningless…’
Stella took my hand and calmly climbed into her carriage.
After putting Stella in the wagon, I got into the wagon and headed for the Weatherlock family.
The inside of the wagon was extremely cozy.
However, as before, all the carriage windows were covered with blackout curtains, probably because they were reluctant to expose their location.
Inside the carriage, with only Stella and I on board, a single light was shining softly.
Stella looked at me carefully, and then she said something out of boredom.
“I am surprised.”
“Huh? What?”
“Escort… I want you to be good at it.”
It was true that I often acted as an escort in Stra.
But if you’ve done enough to be proficient… I do not know.
“Hmm… It was just rough.”
But Stella continued to compliment me on that part.
“Those around me have been helping me for a long time, but they are clumsy.”
“Hmm…”
Praise makes even whales dance, she said.
It was embarrassing to see Stella, who was thoroughly filled with a sense of being chosen by no one else, praising me.
But at the same time, I also had my doubts.
‘Why on earth did he do that all of a sudden?’
Everything from accepting my escort, chatting like this, and even showering me with compliments was questionable.
In addition, Stella’s praise was awkward.
The escort part contained some sincerity, but the words behind it seemed to be forced out… ?
Ironically, however, the questions were all cleared before reaching the Weatherlock family.
“When are you going to vacate the royal floor?”
Haha…”
His royal layer…
‘Hey… It’s really great.’
I wondered how hard it must have been to create compliments.
It must have been a very difficult task for Stella to make her compliments that were not according to her personality, as seen through her temperament window.
I wasn’t the only one surprised by Stella’s words.
[How amazing. I also covet the royal class, but not to that extent.]
[Elves tend to have high self-discipline, but once their desire overflows, it seems that their self-control can’t handle it.]
A typical example would be Guild On.
The guildon and his men fell for gambling after only one day playing with my tricks.
‘Isn’t it time to go to the restaurant later in the evening?’
After escorting Stella, he was planning to visit a brothel with his guild-on gang later.
As per the contract… Madam will hand me some pretty big points.
I didn’t answer Stella’s question with that expectation, but rather asked a question.
“But aren’t the guards worried? I ended up broke trying to get you to stay on the royal floor?”
“Ha…”
Stella was displeased with my sudden change of subject.
But rather than complaining, he just responded to my words.
“I’m no longer a guardsman, so why should I care?”
Haha…”
Guildon and his gang… As of today, I have become unemployed.
‘Do not worry. I’ll give you a good job.’
If it’s elves, they’ll earn as well as midsummer, right?
I smiled inwardly and stared into Stella’s green eyes.
There was a hint of displeasure the whole time he was staring at me, but he didn’t even look away.
Stella seemed to be waiting for an answer to what I said earlier.
I replied with a smile on my face.
“Can’t that problem be easily solved? I’m paying for the royal class right now, but I’m not living alone.”
“… What do you mean?”
I explained to Stella about my girls living on the royal floor.
And he also recited the mad party he experienced while living on the royal floor.
But Stella didn’t seem interested when she told him about her experience of flirting.
Rather, I was just worried.
“Whoa… Are you saying that in the end it’s hard to go out because of those women?”
“Huh. But if you listen to my proposal I made earlier in the day, I might be able to convince you.”
My suggestion is simple.
Stella sleeping in my bedroom.
As soon as Stella heard me, she expressed her disgust, which seemed to go deeper than the displeasure she had shown so far.
“… Humans seem to have a knack for making us elves feel low.”
He wasn’t interested in talking about biting and sucking with other girls, but it seemed that he couldn’t stand talking about himself being caught between them.
Stella proposed to me again with a calm expression.
“Then how about this one?”
“?”
“I will completely hand over the former guardsmen to you.”
“Her… , It’s already limited to the 3rd floor, but I have ownership of the guildons and soldiers, right?”
It was limited to the 3rd floor, but the Guild On gang was already my property.
However, Stella’s words were not limited to the 3rd floor.
“There is such a thing as dominance on the 5th floor.”
Stella came from a royal family and was a person with 40% control over Arvos Kingdom.
“The guardsmen are all my property. I will hand over that authority.”
“And…”
No matter how useless Guild On was, she never thought it would be sold this far.
It’s just because of the desire to live on the royal floor…
To Stella, the guardsmen were not subordinates.
“How is it? Guild On is a knight from a prestigious family. I can also hand over his lands and property if you wish.”
“Her…”
It was just a property.
I was really curious.
‘What kind of place is Arbos?’
I haven’t even been to the 4th floor, but I’m already starting to wonder what the 5th floor is like.
I called Chun-sik to Guild-on as a joke, but I wondered if it would be a world that would go well with that name.
Stella looked at me with expectant eyes.
“… Can I write you an IOU?”
I stared at Stella with my mouth open involuntarily at this absurd situation.
“Huh…”
It looked like he really wanted to stay on the royal floor.
‘Hmm… How about something like that?’
I put away the absurd proposals to Stella, who desperately wants the royal family…
“Then how about this?”
“… ?”
Formally proposed.
“Let’s camp together.”
