Chapter 158 – Promise?
* * *
Irina’s story aside.
What do you think the person who said that is thinking?
I stood in front of her on her horse and looked at her back as she looked into the distance.
Mmm.
Like a man here, should I open my mouth first?
“Miss Alina.”
“… Hmm.”
When I opened my mouth, Alina looked straight ahead without saying anything, then she glanced back.
Fluttering hair and calm brown eyes.
“What…”
If I’m not mistaken, I could feel her voice and her slumped aura, something downcast in her.
Although she was older than me, whether it was because of her magical powers or because of her purely superior DNA, she didn’t feel that way because of her goddess-like beauty.
Rather, there was a mature charm in Alina Earthlane that was completely different from Grace’s older sister.
I know Triana, who is about the same age as me, but she has three other women I’ve hugged who could be said to be distinctly older than me.
Beatrice and Grace Hemillion in the Garden of Red Flowers. And now Alina Earthlane in front of me.
And they all had their own distinct charm.
As for Beatrice, she is the eldest and she herself cares about it, but she is flawless in her beauty. Her mature, mature charm can be said to be the fairy itself.
And above all, her mindset that she was for me was the best I’ve ever known.
Like her past, I could feel the faithful faith she had like a priest in her attitude toward me.
Just as a slave serves his master, each hand toward me has caution and emotion, so it was a bit ambiguous to play as an association while being older.
But Grace’s older sister was a little different.
Grace, who always smiles and strokes my hair.
To her, there was consideration and maternal love in each of her touches, just as her motherly love and similar associations treat younger people.
A soft body and voluptuous breasts next to Beatrice.
Especially, the most important thing is when she hugs me with her chest and sleeps together is the best time. Her skin, her scent. A warm and friendly touch. I was able to sleep really comfortably.
And Alina Earthlane also had her own charm.
Her voluptuous body and breasts reminded her of her older sister Grace, but above all, she had a mysterious charm.
The cigarette in his mouth and his eyes wet with rain. Even the charisma that dominates the surroundings with a mysterious atmosphere.
Even now, looking back at her, I met her windswept hair and soft brown eyes.
“… What kind of action is it to call and watch quietly? Don’t look at me like that, and if you have something to say, say it.”
“Oh, sorry.”
Is it because I’m watching too much?
Her eyes fluttered and she averted her gaze. Her slightly reddened face was like that, as expected, she seemed to be shy.
Seeing that, I scratched my cheek without realizing it.
“It was so beautiful that I kept staring at it without even realizing it.”
“… Bar, are you stupid? You are Say that to Irina.”
I looked at Alina, who opened her eyes wide at my words.
The rest of the panic, the processing of the gaze was awkward.
You’ve probably heard that she’s beautiful, but it was cute to show her such an attitude. Hey, is this really a fox?
Pretending to be calm, Alina said, flustered and cleared her throat in a cute way.
“Huh. After all, my reputation, my background. And there are only guys for lineage. Could there be sincerity in their words?”
“Is that so? But aside from that, aren’t there some people who are blind even with Sir Alina’s appearance?”
At my words, Alina hesitated for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“There was none.”
“As expected.”
A man is a man and a woman is a woman, no matter how much her sex drive is slightly lowered by bloodlineism. Alina Earth Lane proves that love at first sight really exists. She was a dazzling woman.
“Even so, there is no way I can make my heart tremble with the words of men who have no ability and no interest, or women who look at me strangely.”
Looking at Alina, who crossed her arms and shouted out loud, it was clear that she had a lot of experience. But she seemed to be visibly shaking just a little while ago.
In other words. Did my words shake your heart?
“Okay. Hmm. I mean.”
“Yes. Having a lot of external activities means having a lot of such experiences…”
“I think I was shaken.”
“… Yes?”
When I pointed out that part, he calmly said
Alina’s face was so red that it was now completely visible.
“T-wrong… !”
“Oh, that’s fine. Well sir.”
“What do you want to know!”
He shouted with a face stained red, but now he looks a little cute.
Shrugged her shoulders and rode off her horse.
“Hey, Lord Müller! Hear me out!”
“I hear you, Sir Alina.”
All right!
The horse makes a cheerful noise and starts walking.
The knights who were looking this way from afar are also moving.
“Really, you. Even though he acts serious, he sometimes does the wrong thing.”
“Did you notice that already? You have great eyesight.”
“… Are you kidding me?”
“You’re welcome. Seriously. Haha.”
Alina, who was staring at her with her narrowed eyes, spoke appropriately and drove her away.
Now, right next to her, they started riding together.
When I glanced at her side, I grumbled, but the awkward atmosphere from a while ago disappeared. Have you gotten a little closer?
Then… , Right.
“Come to think of it, Sir Alina.”
“What?”
“Isn’t it time for me to go to the capital soon?”
At those words, Alina’s eyes blinked.
“Right. Even if it is the nobles of the capital, His Majesty wants to see you at least once.”
Quit
King Brahms, is that Bastian Brinere?
It was all I had seen from afar.
He was small in stature, but overall his body and limbs were thick.
Well, looking at the outside, wouldn’t a dwarf look like this, she thought that way. Later, when I asked his father, he said that he was really human. And one hit.
I only saw it once, really far away, and then I was completely overwhelmed.
The king, who was seated on a high seat, looked down as if he was dominating among the hall full of nobles and the secretly spreading magical powers.
He was a man of steel. Is he really that human? That’s what I was thinking. Looking back now, I must have been scared at the time.
At that time, I was still young, and my magical power was still in the process of growing, so it’s not strange to feel that way, but thinking about it now, it didn’t seem like that. It wasn’t about the size of magic power or anything like that. I would say that atmosphere…
“Whoops. Have you ever seen His Majesty?”
“Once upon a time, when I was young. I thought it was like steel.”
“I guess so. He is the king of iron walls. An eternal and immortal winner who is called the greatest masterpiece of unbowed brinair.”
Alina’s eyes twinkled as she spoke of the king.
“You seem to respect him quite a bit.”
“Isn’t it nice to talk like that? It’s like you don’t respect me.”
“Oops.”
Did you make a mistake
Seeing me like that, Alina laughed.
“Well, maybe it’s because it’s a different region, but the center. It’s good to be careful, especially in the capital.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“But, yes. His Majesty Brinere is probably respected by quite a few knights.”
“Is that so?”
The second son of the previous king. As a knight, the royal family represented the royal family and moved.
And a knight who usurped the position of king to his eldest son.
And the traitor who took advantage of that gap and raised the flag of treason.
Now, the name and surname were taken away, so there was no ‘name’ to call them again.
“Overwhelming criminal record as a royal knight. He is a legendary figure who conquered the chaotic kingdom of Brahms. However, His Majesty has been less active since becoming king.”
It’s not like I don’t know where to go.
Indeed. He’s a legendary figure, but he’s been inactive since he became king. Was there some special reason?
And the reason is that the nobles of each province raised their heads again because of the royal family, which had become quiet anyway.
Well, that has nothing to do with me right now.
“That’s the case, but before I go there, I’d like to visit Count Franz’s family.”
“The family of Count Franz? But. It’ll be a bit of a detour, but it won’t be bad.”
If you start from Müller, you basically enter the capital through Boring.
I plan to stop at Franz City through the mountains like my father and then go to Boring.
“Have you ever been there?”
“Uhm. I’ve been to adventure cities, but I haven’t been to Franz.”
Oh, that’s right. As for her, I had never heard of her coming either.
Just right.
“I’m not specifically going to the capital, but would you like to go to Franz with me?”
“… Yes?”
I looked at Alina, who widened her eyes at my words.
When the older woman opened her eyes in this way, she looked cute.
“Uh, why?”
“Um, that’s right. It’s not for complicated reasons.”
She looked at her bewildered and laughed.
“I think you can think of it as a date.”
“Da, a date… ?”
Her face slowly started to turn red.
“I also see my father’s face.”
“Ah, ah, father…”
“Yeah. My father.”
“… Ah, yes.”
Alina bowed her head with her new blush.
“… I get it.”
“Good.”
She thought that she would be bored if she went alone, but it is fortunate that she is with her. There were times when I was gone, and it would be perfect if you went to Franz and entertained me so that I wouldn’t feel sorry for you.
