58 – Collapse-10

He came.

Olivia felt it instinctively. His interest in her was fading away.

I don’t know if Claire was caught off guard, or if she thought Olivia wasn’t a threat.

Either way, Claire obediently made room. It was now up to Olivia to take advantage of this opportunity.

“Okay, nice to meet you. What’s going on?”

His soft face felt unfamiliar.

If you think about it, he was always like that.

Even when I had to get angry, the emotional movement wasn’t that big. He was not a person who suppressed others with anger, irregular emotions, and fear.

It’s just there. With overwhelming power, he looks down at others with an innocent face.

“When I was shaken, I made a wrong choice.”

Olivia was a knight and had her own achievements, but she did not forget that she was someone who could slip into the social world at any time.

If that were to happen, she just thought that she would be manipulated to her advantage by the family elders who wanted to use her as their ‘effective card’.

Her will was not respected, and she would have been sold as the concubine of an old and wealthy country nobleman.

“Really?”

Nevertheless, she knew how to act when in that situation.

I had at least some knowledge of what actions to take to seduce a man and what kind of battlefield women struggle to be chosen are on.

“There is no way to wash away the demonic energy in my body.”

Hiding one’s intentions within the truth was a skill that a ‘girl in the social world’ had to learn.

Olivia had no doubt that her eyes were ‘true eyes.’ She was sure that her words conveyed her sincerity.

“That time, when she fought with Kelin. That’s why she lost, right?”

The past was mentioned. Olivia sensed that it was time for her to take a step back.

“I’m sorry about what happened to Kelin. No matter how I apologize, there’s no way she can be forgiven.”

If it were his nature, he would not try to pressure Olivia with her past.

“That has nothing to do with me. You can resolve it on your own when you see Kellin later, okay?”

She had no desire to improve her relationship with the shallow woman who served Katharine. The important thing now was Wade.

“But… From now on, I will have to feel that pressure whenever I fight any warlock. The magic energy in my body will agree with the warlock’s will and attack me.”

“Probably so.”

Wade nodded his head casually.

As if this conversation itself was meaningless.

“I’m anxious. I’m scared. If things continue like this, I feel like my mistakes will catch me for the rest of my life. I don’t think I’ll be able to fight confidently no matter who I meet…”

Olivia shed a tear without any hesitation.

Her anxiety was not a lie. She wasn’t lying about her fears either.

Those tears, too, were filled with sincerity.

“Haa…”

However, that did not mean that her actions were unintentional.

Weaknesses were revealed at the right moment. She showed tears.

I thought that no matter which way Wade acted, she would react.

If she were a just and honorable person, she would consider her pain as her own and try to help Olivia.

If he were a greedy and sneaky man, he would take advantage of Olivia’s weakness to covet her body.

Either way was good. All he has to do is shake.

“I can’t help it.”

But he was looking at Olivia with very calm eyes.

‘Oh?’

Olivia felt uneasy.

‘As a knight, should I have faced him proudly?’

With his skills, he could become a nobleman or a lord as soon as he graduates from the academy.

Declaring that you will become one of the knights who serve him may be a means of lowering his guard.

I’m not sure whether approaching him as a ‘woman’ is an effective means for him or not.

From noble mtl dot com

There is only doubt as to whether Claire and Kellyn were successful in the process. At least, other than those two people, there were no rumors or information about Wade coveting women.

‘Or maybe I lacked charm as a woman…’

She never thought that she was inferior in appearance. The very fact that her

Family is thinking of sending her to be ‘the concubine of an old and rich nobleman’ means that her body is ‘worth a rich nobleman willing to pay money for that body’. Because it meant ‘.’

However, men’s tastes are diverse. At least Olivia didn’t see her Wade reveal his dark side to ‘her knight’.

‘Should I have worn more girlish clothes?’

Maybe a change was needed. In order for her to be recognized by him as a ‘woman worth holding’, she may have needed more groundwork.

‘A little more vulgar… No, no. ‘You shouldn’t overdo it.’

The risk is too great.

At least if you face Wade as a knight, even if you fail, you can end it with an incident.

You can look for another opportunity, or you can get buried in a big incident.

There is a lot of time left until graduation. She had quite a few opportunities left to her.

However, once she gets the idea that she is a shallow woman who seduces him with her body and covets his power, there is no turning back from that point on.

“Well, if it were you, I thought there must be a way!”

Gets down on her knees. She takes his hand in feigned desperation.

With tears still on her face, she looks up at him pitifully.

She was not wearing clothes that exposed her breasts. She needed to minimize his vigilance. The clothes she wore were ordinary student uniforms.

However, the cadet uniform ended in a fierce battle between the young ladies who insisted, ‘I can’t wear these stuffy and unscrupulous clothes’ and the young girls who insisted, ‘I can’t wear these vulgar and shameless clothes.’ The opinions appeared to be somewhat compromised.

Even if you stay still, there is no exposure enough to tempt a man, but if you loosen the buttons and kneel, there is still an element that can tempt a man.

But he was looking into her eyes like nothing happened.

“I don’t know what kind of person you think I am, but there is no way to remove the magical energy once it is embedded in my body.”

Wade shook his head.

“Even if you want to find such a way, you should go to a priest. Not a warlock.”

It’s common sense. Even Olivia, with her limited knowledge of warlocks, knew that much.

A warlock cannot erase magical energy. Although it is possible to control demon energy or take away its initiative, it is impossible to eliminate it.

“Then… do I have to live in this body for the rest of my life?”

“…What should I do? I need to become stronger. The power you gained through black magic seems ridiculous.”

Just because your body contains demonic energy, it does not mean you have to be defeated by all beings who use black magic.

Olivia was only defeated because she was a knight around Kelin’s level, but she could still fight and win against a decent warlock.

Even though her demonic energy stirred within her body, and all her powers she had gained through her dark magic disappeared and fell into the hands of her enemies, that was not all Olivia was.

Just like the black magicians whose bodies are completely controlled by the magic energy itself, meeting a strong black magician does not necessarily mean you have to obey them.

“But as you say… I have limitations no matter how strong I become.”

“That’s right.”

Even so, the weakness does not disappear.

If you fight a warlock of the same level, you will lose. Even if she fights a warlock one level lower than her, she will still lose.

She could only win after investing enough time and risk against a warlock whose skill difference was enormous, who without her dark powers she could have cut down with a single sword. Will be.

“Half of a knight?”

There are not many people who would write such an article seriously.

Knights are not always the ones fighting warlocks, but if they can’t fight them, they become unreliable knights at critical moments.

Even if you join the Knights, you will not be able to avoid being in trouble for the rest of your life, and you may not be given a role to protect someone or fight against evil.

“…”

Olivia knew well the future of those people.

You fight not with a warlock, but with another being. He can’t even fight well against monsters.

They inevitably fight with beings other than warlocks. They become like mercenaries and fight like ordinary soldiers.

The knights eventually fall into temptation.

Since he possesses even a little bit of the power of darkness, he does not fight against people for whom ‘the power of darkness may be his weakness.’

Since the power of darkness is not a weakness, it is rather easy to touch the power of darkness.

Because it was corrupted once anyway. Because this is more convenient. Just because they become strong in an ordinary way and honestly does not mean that a bright future awaits them.

Or, if you become a dark knight, you can use the sins and magic to fight against other ‘those who control the power of magic’.

That’s what happens in the end.

“I believed you knew how.”

That was a future Olivia did not want. It was a tomorrow that should never happen.

“There is no way to do this.”

“Claire! Even after she became a dark priest, she still maintains her sanity!”

However, Wade shook his head.

“No.”

A bitter laugh lingered on his lips.

“Even Claire, she didn’t get freedom.”
