Countess Cianella’s Male Slave

100. Small Compensation (1)

The confusing road was quickly cleared, and Countess Cianella and I got on the marquee’s carriage.

I don’t know about Shione and Siabelle, but I thought I’d get on another carriage with the other soldiers.

Arya Allenar readily allowed me to ride in her carriage. Thanks to that, now, I am the only person in the wagon filled with nobles everywhere.

‘Well, I can’t even get excited anymore.’

A goblin, a princess, and even a daughter of a marquis family such as Eunice Callia. Is it because I already had a meeting overflowing with the subject of the lowly people? Now, like when he first landed here, he was not so intimidated by his status as an aristocrat.

Just quietly shut your mouth heavily. I am slowly erasing my presence so as not to offend them.

I held my breath as I listened to the story of Aria and Siabelle.

“Oh. He said he was clearing out the orcs that had come down to the manor. Strange. Where did so many orcs come from to sweep the territory all at once?”

“That is the question. Orcs are not the bears of your estate, Orkney. He sent a search party to the western mountains, but there is still no news.”

“… That bastard bear eats it to the point of getting sick of it.”

Arya’s conversation went smoothly. Sometimes by provoking each other, and sometimes by letting out a little laugh.

They talked about the current situation of Countess Cianella.

I checked the quest for a while as their conversation got longer. The condition is to protect Shione against the orcs who came out through the blizzard. As long as the result that meets the conditions is sitting by my side. The quest was cleared and the promised reward was handed over to me.

Accelerating the growth rate of ‘Shione. It’s just what I needed, and it worked.’

Recently, Shione used a method to put aura on the arrowhead. Now that she has succeeded in checking the way. If her growth accelerated, he would be able to reap her kind of beauty sooner.

As Shione, she had to aim her arrows at demons as well as Orcs from now on. Her rapid growth is indispensable.

‘What matters is the promise I made with Sione.’

She turned her head and looked at Shione.

When I turn my head, he makes a presence like me. Shione, who had been listening to the conversation between Siabelle and Aria, faced me. The half-closed pupils started to glow, and the way she tilted her head was very cute.

Well, if it was that bastard from a year ago, I would have tried to avoid it by slitting her throat. Now, as I said, after cutting off that frizzy hair, didn’t it regenerate?

It’s about the promised kiss. If you brush your teeth properly, you can do it.

Cook.

Shione’s round eyes.

“… !”

From noble mtl dot com

I secretly poked her on the back of my hand, then looked at her in front again.

Into my field of vision came another noble who occupied a seat in the wagon.

A striking woman with her dark red hair.

– Hello. My name is Ravi Crunell, a mage belonging to the Marquis of Allenar.

A wizard with the stomach of a viscount. Ravi Crunell was looking at me and Sione.

“Hmm… ….”

With a small voice, Ravi Crunell took out something from her inside pocket and held it up.

‘Notebook… And a pen?’

It seems that he is trying to record the current situation between Siabelle and Aria.

Ravi Crunell puts the nib over her crunchy white paper and starts writing her words. She is like a wizard who also explores learning and creates miracles. She, too, seemed to like to record and organize things.

Cook. Cook. Cook.

‘… ….’

Did Shione want to get her revenge? Even though she pretended not to, she kept poking the back of my hand with my finger. I felt a tingling sensation and pressed my hand over hers to tell her to stop.

It has finally calmed down a bit.

After suppressing Shione’s mischief, which was subtly maddening. I checked the reward for the one remaining quest.

I closed my eyes for a moment and contemplated my condition. The thing to check is the vessel that holds mana, the heart.

‘If this is enough—’

It was a lot of growth.

The absolute amount of mana went up so much that I could definitely feel it. So far, every time a little bit, a little bit. If only I hadn’t raised it a little bit. This time, I felt moderately heavy mana pooled in my heart.

In line with the heartbeat, the mana that is born stronger. Even if you shoot multiple whirlpools that shred the enemy, it won’t be too much of a problem.

It was then.

‘Wait a wizard?’

As his thoughts went from magic to magician, Rabbi in front of him was caught.

I bet you didn’t see me wielding magic. There must have been traces of magic left on the orc’s body….

It happened because I never imagined that a wizard would break in the middle. If, by any chance, the wizard of the marquis family feels strange, it would be good to make a suitable excuse to bring it.

While I was thinking that, I heard Siabelle’s voice in my ears.

“Shione and Ray should go back to the castle.”

“Introspection?”

“Yes. Because so many orcs came out. I cannot leave my sister in such a dangerous place.”

“If… What will your sister do?”

“I’m thinking of going back to the introspection as well. After reporting the situation, I think I will lead a little more troops to the west or sweep the north again.”

After saying that, Siabelle crossed Shione and immediately looked at me.

“And—”

Sia Bell met my eyes and slightly raised the corner of her mouth. There was no sense of playfulness in Arya’s smile. Her smile, which appeared on her face lightly, showed leisure and tenderness instead of her strange fun.

“Sometimes I have to pay the promised reward to Ray.”

At Siabelle’s words, all the nobles in the carriage focused on me.

Crunchy.

In this quiet situation, only the sound of Ravi’s handwriting lingered.

Meanwhile, Sia Belle, who soon brought her mischief to my face again, said to her best friend.

“And Dalian will be done after you get rid of all your travel poisons. Your skills haven’t died in the meantime, have you?”

As if Arya was laughed at by that comment, she looked down at Sia Bell in awe.

“Rather than rusting, it has become sharper, so expect it.”

* *

Dododo!

Maybe it’s because I took off the heavy armor that was weighing down my body. As if Shione was a small animal, she swiftly shot forward.

Huung!

Shione flew.

“Wow.”

Shione jumped up from the inside to the point of exclamation. Unfortunately, without her wings, she starts to fall.

Flood!

Shione, who was lying on the soft bed, showed off her worldly expression.

“Looks like I’m going to live a little longer.”

Shione habitually rolled up the blanket to hide herself. She then pulled her head out of her pout and buried my face in her pillow.

Soon she was sitting on the bed like a crow and staring at me.

“That… ….”

“Do you have anything to say?”

Nodding.

“Oppa, I want to eat snacks… ….”

Shione pulled up the blanket and covered everything under my eyes.

“Can you bring it to me?”

“… I will bring it.”

I returned to her room with some sweets and tea.

Then, as if Shione had waited, she jumped out of bed and sat down in front of the table.

She laughed out loud at the sight of a puppy waiting for its owner to feed it.

Yum. Mess.

It was in the middle of a leisurely sip of tea and watching Shione eat away at her cookies.

Shione sipped her tea and opened her mouth with a satisfied smile.

“That oh brother… ?”

When the two of you are alone, call me oppa. As if it was awkward for Shione to still use the title “Brother” In her mouth, she hesitated before continuing.

“A festival will be held in the estate soon. I know?”

“You mean the festival?”

Was the festival held around this time of year?

Last year, I hadn’t even seen a festival.

‘Did it happen before I was taken out of the iron bars?’

When I tilted my head and showed a puzzled look, Shione quickly explained.

“Yes, the day of the first head of the family’s victory in the Beltrin Mountains is coming soon. In Yeongji, a festival is held around this time to honor the achievements of King Seonjo.”

“But… The estate is in a mess, but I don’t know if the festival can be held properly.”

“Anyway, it’s a festival held inside the city walls. Because it doesn’t last long. It will be fine. Therefore….”

Shione hesitated for a moment.

My emotional state is clearly visible on my face.

Judging by the fact that her cheeks are flushed red, she seems to be bringing up something quite embarrassing.

“… I want to watch it together on the day of the festival. How is it?”

“Are you asking me out on a date?”

My master nodded slowly.

From a red face about to explode to a creaking motion.

I answered with a smile.

“I look forward to it.”

At those words, Shione’s complexion suddenly brightened.

As we were sitting and enjoying our tea for a while, someone knocked on the door.

“I will check and come back.”

When I got up and went to find out the identity of the uninvited guest, I saw a familiar face.

Baby, it’s been a while.

Cool mustache. With a bold impression that looks manly–

“… Siabelle is calling.”

In the end, my friend, Bronte, was influenced by me and threw away that unpleasant hum.

Probably now without wasting more time. It seems that Siabelle is trying to give her the reward she promised.

* *

I followed Bronte to Siabelle’s room.

Bronte, her exclusive attendant, waited outside her room for a while. In response, she naturally went into her room alone.

Sia Belle was dressed in a neat robe, and she was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed.

After confirming that I had entered, Sia Belle slowly rose from her seat.

“Doesn’t it feel heartless to just hand over something and finish it?”

Again. Again.

Two leather chairs facing each other with a table in front.

With Siabel sitting her body on one of them, she coquettishly crossed her legs again.

“Across the street.”

“… ….”

“Sit comfortably.”

I could see.

A small smile began to spread across Siabelle’s face.
