27 – Unwanted Colleagues (10)

I already knew why I was hated.

Because of me, the master and Erina were in a great crisis.

I almost lost my life when I got caught up in a multitude of monsters.

So, no matter how much she ignored me and showed her harsh attitude, I tried to approach her with a smile.

‘Leave yourself before I force you to leave.’

But Erina did not accept me.

She rather forced me to leave.

I couldn’t say anything.

As she said, I didn’t deserve to be a colleague.

But I was never told to leave the party.

‘I cannot forsake his grace.’

I was able to endure the checks and bad treatment.

I was already used to the criticism and gossip.

I could understand no matter how much I was ignored.

However, betraying the grace was impossible even with a knife in his throat.

If Erina couldn’t trust her, she had to be kicked out of the party.

I had to find a way to get her approval and stay at the party.

But I couldn’t find an answer after thinking all night long.

I went to bed with a heavy heart, unable to draw a conclusion.

And I had a nightmare.

‘I don’t need a boss like you. Incompetent b*tch…!’

The lieutenant who always said he respected me betrayed me like that.

My wing was torn by a colleague I trusted.

‘Do you want help now? You bastard.’

The elf spit in my face. Many elves were pointing their bowstrings at me.

‘Yeah, cutting off the limbs and pulling out the scales would make a lot of money.’

I heard the human voice who helped me.

At the same time, a terrifying feeling of exhaustion overtook my whole body.

It was then that I realized that there was poison in the water.

At that moment, I woke up.

As soon as I opened my eyes, my whole body trembled with fear.

No matter how much I took a deep breath, I couldn’t calm myself down.

Samuchi couldn’t shake the loneliness.

At that time, the master woke up to the sound of me tossing and turning.

He looked at me trembling with anxiety and worried.

With his warm tone and eyes, uncontrollable emotions bloomed in his heart.

‘I don’t want to break up with this person. I want to be with you for the rest of my life.’

A simple partnership was not enough.

I longed for a deeper and stronger bond than that.

At that time, I remembered the legend of Yongin.

Courage Knight. A master-slave relationship formed by an oath of tolerance.

There has never been a better picture than this.

It matched the ideal figure I had so longed for.

So I asked my master to become a Dragon Knight.

Please take responsibility for your own life. Please allow us to be together for the rest of our lives.

I didn’t even think about it myself.

It was a no-brainer.

However, the master embraced me.

He willingly became a dragon knight for me.

I was moved to tears in his arms.

As I was looking ugly, the master hugged me warmly.

‘Master…’

The warmth was still vivid in my heart.

I could understand why Erina was desperately trying to protect her master.

I also always wanted to stay by the side of my master forever.

I wanted to live together for the rest of my life.

But Erina had a different opinion than me.

The voice of her pleading could be heard through the crack in her door.

‘But why did you make such a strange contract with a woman like that…!’

‘No! There was no need for that at all! It’s something I’ll have to protect forever!’

She didn’t want her master to be strong. She was just hoping to hide her whole life in her own arms.

When she first heard this, she was skeptical. She thought she couldn’t.

But when she heard the truth from her mouth, displeasure welled up in her heart.

Erina looked down on her master. She was dismissing herself as something to be protected.

I muttered to myself as I heard her cry.

“The lord is not weak.”

The master is stronger than anyone else.

You and I are incomparable to Erina.

Even though she may be weaker than Erina now, it will be different in the future.

I’ll help. Like the legendary dragon knight, we will make you a hero who cannot be defeated by anyone.

And I,

‘I will live as a servant following the master forever.’

I pictured in my head the image of being together in a world where the master and the two were left alone.

Just imagining it filled my head with happiness.

I tightened up my expression to loosen up.

I concentrated on the words coming from the room again.

The master was talking nonsense to appease Erina, who was crying like a child.

‘I like you more than Kyla.’

It was an absurd lie.

My master has already told me that he trusts me more than her.

But one side of my heart was aching.

I know it’s a lie, but my emotions are starting to fluctuate.

‘If the lord is sincere…?’

He immediately slapped his cheek.

How dare you doubt your master’s words.

I felt disgusted with myself.

Twice. Third time. He slapped his cheek dozens of times.

He did not stop his hand sword until the minute was released.

I couldn’t forgive myself no matter what.

He pulled out the dagger he had hidden in his arms.

As it was, he rolled up his right arm and drew a dagger.

Along with bloodstains, he had an ugly wound on his forearm.

There was no pain in spite of the creepy sensation.

My heart aches more.

‘If you have doubts about your master’s words in the future.’

I vowed to inflict corporal punishment on myself.

He had to punish himself for doing the wrong thing.

If the master sees this, he will be concerned and recommend treatment.

‘I’m sorry. Lord.’

This is the moment when the master has a secret that must never be revealed.

“Kyla.”

Finally, I heard the voice I had been waiting for.

The master came out of the door looking tired and looked for me.

My heart aches. He listened to his deterrence from dawn and took care of us, who had been fighting since morning.

I was filled with endless regrets.

My master has ordered me to accept Erina’s reconciliation.

He was apologizing to me even though it wasn’t necessary at all.

“I see.”

Reconciliation with Erina was absolutely necessary.

Even if there was no order from the master, he was going to apologize.

Also, as the master wanted, he told me everything about what happened with Erina.

And I asked if it would be okay to call me ‘Master’ or ‘Master’ in the future. But unfortunately he was rejected.

‘Am I still burdened?’

You seem to have thought too far ahead of the topic.

I decided to ask you again later.

After the conversation, the master headed downstairs again.

The inn’s follow-up is not over yet.

“Kyla. Be well with Erina from now on.”

The master asked me several times.

As much as he was concerned about the relationship between me and Erina.

“I will make sure this never happens again.”

I didn’t want to show my ugliness to my master anymore.

I always wanted to help as a perfect seed.

I just couldn’t be a stumbling block.

After the master went down the stairs, I stood still in the hallway, waiting for Erina to come out.

After a long time, the door slowly opened.

Unlike before, it looks droopy.

My eyes were swollen and my hair was messy.

My face was messed up with tears.

It looks really ugly. How can you show your master like that? It was unbelievably pathetic.

Erina’s eyes met. He lowered his head slowly and spoke in a low voice.

“I’m sorry…”

I smiled at her words and bowed my head.

“No. I’m sorry too.”

It’s an apology to the master, not her.

Perhaps she will never know for the rest of her life.

“I made an oath without Erina-sama’s permission. It was presumptuous.”

“…”

“I will make sure this never happens again. So,”

He reached out to her again.

Requested a handshake that was previously rejected.

“Would you please accept me as a colleague?”

Erina glanced at me.

After hesitating for a while, he slowly took my hand.

The handshake didn’t last long.

He quickly pulled out her hand before giving her any strength.

But, like last time, I didn’t ignore it.

This was enough.

“Thank you again, Erina-sama.”

She bowed her head deeply.

Isn’t there an old saying that you can’t even spit on a smiling face?

Finally, Erina nodded her head.

“Yes…”

The other party answered in a low-key voice with the grass dead.

Seeing that, joy filled her heart.

Even though I lost the fight, it was like a victory for me.

She recognized me as a colleague.

You won’t be able to push me away anymore.

Now, the obstacles between me and my master are gone.

“Thank you.”

No reply came back. The conversation ended like that.

Outwardly, they seemed to be reconciled.

But I did not miss living.

As I have lived as a fugitive for a long time, my body has become more sensitive than anyone else.

Gently Erina noticed that she was staring at me.

But she wasn’t afraid at all.

‘I have a master.’

Even though I lost the battle this time.

But if there is a master.

If you fight her with her master.

‘I will definitely win.’

I wonder if that day will come someday. No one knows.
