13 – The Lord’s ‘Talents’ (2)

It’s dark in the night when everyone is asleep.

I was tossing and turning in my bedroom, unable to fall asleep.

It’s good to have saved the young master, but maybe it’s good now?

Couldn’t it put pressure on the Scarlet family?

What could a knight who couldn’t hold a sword do?

Even if it was a wound I received to save my lord, I was careless and put the lord in danger. Can it be called a wound of glory?

One of those sleepless nights

I heard the sound of the door opening.

I don’t think that’s very likely, but I thought there was a possibility that the leader of the remnants of the mercenary who escaped came to me to get revenge.

I opened the door and felt someone approaching me.

In case someone came to harm me, I summoned mana to respond and sensed someone’s presence….

It was Master Luke.

Do, why the young boy?

It’s night now.

Even an escort knight would come into an adult woman’s bedroom.

…… Come to think of it, is the boy too old to open his eyes to the castle?

I’ve never shown interest in women, but I’m at the age to be interested.

Even so, to sneak into the escort knight’s bedroom.

… Even though I’d rather be a Bocchan.

I can’t satisfy you because I have no experience….

If the young master is rather disappointed, then I…….

“Hans.”

Flinch

When the young master called my name, I flinched and moved without realizing it.

I don’t know why, but I didn’t want the boy to know that I was awake.

I just wanted to know what the young master was trying to do to me while I was asleep.

“Sorry, Hans.”

He knelt down in front of the bed, put his face right in front of my face, and looked at me.

“I stupidly thought I could control the mercenaries. Here is the reality It’s not the world I knew.”

Do you mean that the world is not what you see in books? Certainly, the Bocchan is clever and knows a lot, but he is inexperienced, so when dealing with mercenaries, he could be beaten by them.

I didn’t even know they were so distrustful and greedy.

Rather, it’s not the master’s fault, it’s my fault for not being able to assist properly.

“Because of me… Because of me, Hans…….”

Master…….

“Hans. Okay, let’s try it.”

… Yes? Do you want to try it?

What?

“… This my….”

Stand, no way!

“With a ‘gift’!”

As the young boy’s noble baby!

…… Not a ‘gift’?

Master, did you have a ‘gift’?

“… If I can use this, I might be able to save Hans.”

What kind of ‘gift’, young boy? .

“But the condition…. Can I use this?”

Terms?

Come to think of it, I heard that there are many cases where “Gifts” Have difficult conditions. Complicated conditions must be met to manifest a ‘gift’, or something must be paid for as a condition of using a ‘gift’.

The boy’s ‘gift’, no way!

“… Okay. You should try it if you make up your mind. How long are you going to worry about it?”

The young master stood up and put his hand on my forehead.

Warm… Bocchan’s hand.

A tremendous amount of light poured from the master’s hand.

A tremendous amount of light penetrated even my closed eyelids.

Then, through the young master’s hand, something warm flowed down my forehead and into my body.

Unidentified energy, not the mana used by wizards or the holy power used by priests.

Unidentified aura warmly wrapped around the wounds in my body that even the priest couldn’t heal.

A warm and comfortable feeling.

After a while, the warm energy disappeared, and the pain that remained in my body also disappeared.

Instinctively, I knew that all the scars left on my body had disappeared.

“… The pain… Hurt. Bocchan, what the hell just happened…….”

I was so shocked that I forgot I was pretending to be asleep and jumped up.

“Ha, Hans. You woke up.”

The young master said in surprise.

“Hans… Don’t tell anyone about this.”

After saying that, the young master fell unconscious.

“Do, boy!”

I caught the boy who jumped out of bed and fell unconscious.

Master… As expected, the boy’s ‘gift’ is something you pay for.

Even losing consciousness and collapsing, what the hell are you paying for?

I couldn’t check his body properly because I was distracted because he had collapsed, but I felt completely healed.

Those many wounds, wounds that even the priests could not heal, had healed.

And to achieve such a feat is undoubtedly a ‘gift’ that requires a very large price.

What you can guess is lifespan, memory, health, soul… Or hair root.

I heard that there is a ‘gift’ that requires hair roots in return.

Of course, if you were a young boy, you would be beautiful even without hair, but

It was too much of a price to pay just for the sake of an escort knight’s hand, whether it was hair roots or life span.

Master…….

Even though the poor escort knight made the boy have a bad experience, for the sake of such an incompetent knight….

I got up and put the young master on my bed.

“Hannah Scarlett. I swear to dedicate my sword, my body, and everything to Master Luke.”

The bed is soiled with my smell as I toss and turn… Since it’s an emergency situation where the Bocchan collapsed, would it be okay if I lay him down on my bed?

Huh? Then the smell of the young master is in my bed!

…… I’ll have to tell the servants and ask if they can give me these bedspreads and blankets. Ten gold coins would be enough… ?

* * *

The first time I used my ‘gift’, I passed out in front of Hans.

Originally, my ‘gift’ does not accompany fainting….

Until then, he went through a forced march to explore as many as ten ruins with his young body,

Performing a desperate escape against the mercenaries who are trying to kill me,

From noble mtl dot com

I saw an escort driver who worked hard for me get a permanent disability because of me and get healed.

In a state of extreme exhaustion, he was relieved after everything was over, so he lost consciousness, but he showed himself collapsed after being treated in front of Hans.

Seeing that, Hans had a strange misunderstanding, and he mistook my ‘Gift’ ability for sacrificing something important.

I didn’t tell anyone about my ‘Gift’ thanks to Hans’ request, but from then on, he kept telling me not to use my ‘Gift’ ability.

She kept saying that she didn’t pay too much, but she didn’t believe me because I couldn’t reveal my ‘gift’ abilities.

To reveal the ‘Gift’ ability, I had to reveal the fact that I was the author of [Things you should read if you live on the continent], But even Hans, an escort knight who followed me, couldn’t do that.

I didn’t even believe it.

Anyway, thanks to her, I was able to get over it without having to make strange excuses that I couldn’t be used by soldiers or knights, but I was suffering from her nagging like this.

“Anyway, boy, no matter what happens at the academy, you must never use that ‘gift’. Do you understand?”

“…… Okay.”

“Okay, boy. If you’re a clever boy, he’ll be good enough at the academy and show a new look. Ah, young master, hold on tight to my waist. If you do it wrong, you may fall.”

Right now I am sitting behind Hans who is riding a horse.

As Hans said, I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind her back.

“… Like this?”

“Ah…… Yes, I like it♡.”

Then a strange voice leaked from her. It’s like the groans of a woman soaked in her pleasure….

“What?”

“Ah, no, you did well. That, it goes like this!”

Did you hear wrong because of the wind noise?

“I heard you called, Your Highness the Archduke.”

“Oh my Lulu. Okay. Please come here.”

Kung

“Yes, my dear Lulu. Did you send Luke off well today?”

“Yes. It was hard to let go, but I finally let it go.”

“Oh, I understand your feelings well. Isn’t it because of the memory of Luke being in danger during the past ruins exploration?”

“That’s right, Your Highness.”

“But don’t worry. The escort knight who went with Luke, Hannah Scarlett, probably because of her experiences at that time, has been working hard and is facing the highest level of sword expert. She will protect Luke well. And above all.”

The Grand Duke hugged her wife and continued her speech.

“Deus-sama is protecting him.”

“Are you Deus-sama?”

“Yes. Deus-sama….”

-Leopard Persleyno.

“Ugh, huh? Lulu?

– Do you still see me as Lulu?

“Seo, I can’t believe you…… !”

-Leopard, son of Reinopat. As Luke’s true mother, I say.
