Chapter 64 (2/2)
“Yeah, well, we’re acquaintances.”
“Allen-san is looked up to by all of the young knights. He managed to become a captain at such a young age. I’ve only managed to speak with him a couple times but I can tell he’s a great person.”
“Yeah, Allen is a very respectable person.”
Why does everyone love Allen? Even this shota looks like he’s fallen in love.
He would definitely be the one receiving in their relationship.
“It’s my dream to someday become like Allen-san.”
I’m sure he can reach that dream someday. His face is easily on par with Allen. If he can avoid following in Allen’s footsteps and not sleep with every woman he comes into contact with, the ugly men of this world can rejoice.
“S-Sorry about that. I’ve been talking about myself too much.”
“No, it’s nice to be able to actually have a proper conversation with someone. Even if I try to talk to the Dark Elf, I just get angry words directed at me. I’m glad I’m finally able to talk with someone and not have to worry about them snapping at me.”
“oi, I can hear you.”
The Dark Elf pulled her legs close to her chest as she said this.
The view of her exposed thighs is the best.
“That elf there is.”
The boy spoke with a slightly nervous tone. There’s no doubt that he’s a fellow virgin.
“It seems that she was tricked by a former friend and became a slave of the Guild. Though she has accomplished a lot in the war so far, so it’s possible she’ll be freed once the war is won.”
“I-I see.”
“You just keep saying whatever you feel like.”
“Am I wrong? Feel free to correct me if anything I said wasn’t the truth.”
“Ku.”
She’s developed a habit of always being on guard, so even when someone praises her, she tries to argue with them. It’s actually pretty cute. I kind of want to bully her when she acts like this.
Or, even better, if I could make her my slave for the rest of her life, I could enjoy all of her different reactions.
I can imagine our relationship already. At first, she’d keep up her cold personality:
“I’ll make you my beloved slave for the rest of your life!”
“I-I’ll never let that happen!”
But, as the years passed, as she felt her one true love may be lost to her, her true feelings would be revealed:
“Guha! A-Are you okay? Thank God. Butnow you’ve finally got your wishyou’re free.”
“Stay with me! If it means you won’t leave me, I’ll be your slave forever! Please, you can’t die! Don’t leave me! Master!”
And like this, her heart would belong to me. She’d become a devoted slave, but it wouldnt be long before our relationship would develop further. As time went on she’d eventually lose the title of slave and gain the title of wife. We’d be married and my conquest of the Dark Elf would be complete.
“U-Umm, about the rumours I’ve heard.”
Oh, the shota interrupted my vision of the future.
“One of the rumours I heard, involved the prime minister.”
“The prime minister?”
The prime minister was that old man that was standing next to the king when we visited the castle to receive our reward for the dragon extermination. If the king is supposed to be the face of the country, the prime minister would be the man in charge behind-the-scenes.
He would be in charge of a lot of this country’s national affairs.
“How serious were these rumours?”
“Well, th-that’s.”
The shota began fidgeting as he was hesitant to speak ill about the prime minister.
Fidgeting is strictly restricted to the lolis, shota.
“What’s wrong? If it’s hard to say it here, we can wait.”
“It’s fine. The prime minister intentionally brought us into this war.”
Oh.
“I see. That really could be serious, but I heard it was the Pussy Republic that started the war.”
This is information I received directly from Ester-chan so Im sure it’s accurate.
“Y-Yeah, hepurposefully provoked them in order to cause their invasion.”
He doesn’t seem to want to say anything more about this. His voice was already fading so much that I had to strain myself to hear him.
Well, that’s enough anyway.
Just like he said, it was an interesting story.
“Well, if what you say is true, he certainly is deeply involved.”
“Umm, I-I actually overheard something else. There were people talking about this in my familys mansion after the Hagenbecks were killed. This seemed to be in response to their deaths and these people were talking about protecting something important to them.”
That name, Hagenbeck.
I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere before.
Oh, I remember. It was that noble student that teased Sophia-chan so much that she wet herself in the cafeteria. I’m certain his family name was Hagenbeck.
There were a few rumours floating around the school that the entire Hagenbeck family was killed after their assassination plot was revealed.
That guy also had a sister that attended the same school. She was beheaded after the executioner had some fun with her. From what I’ve heard, her head is still on display somewhere in the city.
“Klein, are you a member of the Hagenbeck family?”
“Yes, it may not be a direct connection, but I’m a member of one of their branch families. And thanks to the events that led to them being killed, I was sent here.”
“I see.”
This was something I didn’t expect. For this shota knight to be sent here as a result of something I was involved in, it’s more than a little surprising. However, it’s not surprising to see him being punished even though he’s still so young. This country seems to always stand true to its feudalism roots. Not to mention that the influence the FitzClarence family has over other families has become even more evident.
This guy is quite talkative.
He’s speaking to an unknown middle-aged man and he’s revealing all this personal information so easily. I guess he’s one of those people that’s comfortable talking about themselves. It’s hard for me to understand someone like that.
In any case, it might be for the best if I avoid telling him too much about myself.
“I’m sorry that the members of the Hagenbeck family died. But I am glad that we were able to meet today.”
I think my relationship with Ester-chan will make this relationship complicated.
“I’m sorry. I talked about so many unnecessary things.”
“Don’t worry about it. It was a very interesting story. Though, having said that, it might be best if you avoid talking about that in front of other people. I’m sure if Allen were here he’d say the same thing.”
“Y-Yes, of course!”
The effect of mentioning that guy’s name was outstanding.
As expected of someone like Allen.
No, I guess he’s called Saito now.
