The Knight Wants To Be in a Relationship

36. Manneken Pis

* * *

Among many superhumans, there was a special reason why King Chang was able to establish the country.

It was that his innate psychic powers were inherited through his bloodline.

Unlike superhumans who acquired superhuman powers through their own talents, efforts, and chance—— the king of spears was truly a being sent from heaven.

The window king’s child, Eleanor Astra, was also a semi-superhuman who inherited the window king’s power.

“Ahahahahaha-! Next, let’s go!”

Superhuman strength, superhuman reflexes, transcendent charm.

As it is said that skills are learned by the weak, there was no agony or trouble to be found in her sword–but even that was threatening enough.

‘I can’t read the trajectory… ….’

Since ancient times, swordsmanship has reasonable rules according to the reason it was created. The swordsmanship to kill someone aims at the vital point with the fastest trajectory, and the swordsmanship to subdue the opponent focuses on incapacitating the joints, wrists, or the opponent’s weapon.

However, Eleanor’s sword, which did not learn such swordsmanship, is truly ruthless. It is forcibly flying on an irrational and ignorant trajectory. What made this possible was the superhuman strength she was born with.

“How is it!? Sword Master! I’m quite useful too!”

Eleanor burst into laughter. But Evan couldn’t help but laugh. If this was a real sword fight aiming for each other’s lives, there would be no big problem.

It was enough to just cut off the weapon that was being swung at him and take Eleanor’s neck as it was.

It was an unusable method considering that it was a sparring rather than a real battle, and a princess who would cause a lot of trouble even if the other person was injured.

‘It’s difficult, it’s difficult… ….’

It’s like sparring with shackles on your limbs. Evan said she now realized that the situation she was facing was a tougher one than she had ever fought against.

But you can’t lose. The limbs are shackled, the demonic sword is blocked, and the opponent cannot be harmed——but if you lose, you must give up the title of Sword Saint.

“How long will you just block it!”

“One.”

f*ck-!

Evan threw his sword and blocked Eleanor’s sword trajectory in advance. No matter how strong he was and how good his reflexes were, if he was blocked from swinging his sword from the start, he had to give up and try another attack.

Eleanor did.

“Two.”

Tadak-!

However, Evan aimed for Eleanor’s sword that had been recovered. At the same time, he struck Eleanor’s wrist with the magic sword.

Eleanor, with her powerful grip, did not let go of her sword, but her wrists began to turn red.

“Go, princess!”

The escort knights who saw this were frightened and glared at Evan fiercely, but Evan didn’t pay much attention. It would be better to eat a potion anyway. He didn’t even cut off his wrists.

Eleanor seemed to have the same idea as Evan, and continued to swing her sword at Evan, not paying much attention to her wrist being beaten.

“Three.”

“Four.”

“Five.”

In contrast, Evan only increased the number of sword swings one by one. Even Eleanor, who seemed like she would never be broken, when the number of swords flying at the same time reached five, she couldn’t do anything and just started getting hit.

“Evil-! What is this-!”

“Five.”

“Bee, cowardly! Cowardly! Ugh, evil! Ho, writing five alone, evil! I bit my tongue!”

When Eleanor, who had been beaten over and over again, showed a complete loss of fighting spirit, Evan finally put down his sword and took a step back.

At the same time as he stepped back, the escort knights who were watching and stomping right next to him quickly ran and handed the potion to the princess.

Some of them may have had the appearance of priests, and prayed and breathed divine power into the body of the princess.

“…… No matter how much you say you’re a swordsman, isn’t it too much for the princess?”

“Yes? What is that…….”

“You could have kept your hands a little longer. If there was no malice towards the princess, there would be no need to wield the sword viciously like that. Please hurry up and apologize to the princess.”

Seeing the princess beaten, the fever rose to the top of his head, and one escort knight even demanded an apology from Evan.

Seeing that, Evan scratched his cheek as if he had nothing to say.

‘I tried to be as gentle as possible.’

What is this, I can’t show you…….

As Evan kept his mouth shut, the escort knight drew his sword and aimed it at Evan.

“You seem to have no intention of apologizing. If so, please teach me a lesson.”

“Monica! What disrespect to the Sword Saint!”

“Princess. This is a verification process. To confirm that the swordsman really had no malice toward the princess…….”

“Should I go first?”

Monica, the escort knight who was talking with the princess, heard Evan’s words and looked at him. An unprepared attitude. If the others had taken such a posture, they would have been furious for insulting themselves——but the opponent was the swordsman.

I can also be in one of the postures. Thinking so, Monica immediately ran forward. Unlike a princess who has not properly mastered swordsmanship, she uses the kingdom’s swordsmanship, which the knights desperately researched and developed, in her hands.

“Go-!”

Monica let out her blow, recalling the demonic sword she had just seen. Attacks coming from all sides of her are blocked with her armor, and she is forced to take a blow—!

Her thoughts of

Disappeared as soon as she faced Evan’s sword piercing through her own.

Evan’s sword didn’t stop there and went straight through Monica’s neck. Monica was terrified of her death.

“Uh, uh uh-!?”

From noble mtl dot com

While the escort knights watching from behind sighed in astonishment, Evan, who connected Monica’s sword with the nape of her neck, shrugged her shoulders and looked at Monica as if it didn’t matter much.

“Moving hurts.”

“This, this is Moose… ….”

“You can’t use something like this on a princess, can you? Because even a princess can’t be made into a mannequin like you…….”

The next moment, Evan casually pulled out his sword. The moment the sword pierced her neck and was pulled out, Monica fell behind her and smashed her buttocks.

As Monica fell to the floor and slowly patted her neck, she realized two things. The fact that she is clean without a scratch on my skin. And that her ass is quite wet.

“Wow- Monica. Was she scared to death? Did you think Sword Saint-nim would get angry and kill you just because he heard a few words?”

The princess looked at Monica and threw a mischievous joke. Having urinated in public, especially in front of the princess and her fellow escorts, Monica hung her head in silence.

“…… Me, I was rude. Yes, I apologize. Sword Master.”

“Yeah…… I’m sorry too.”

Evan noticed that Monica couldn’t stand up as his legs trembled and realized that his hands were too tight. It would have been enough if he had just cut off the sword and held it to his neck.

In a fairy tale, she would have reached out and raised her hand to a fallen female knight in this situation, but ─ unfortunately, Evan wasn’t brave enough to reach out to a female knight covered in urine.

So Monica did not get up from her seat until her fellow knights brought her clothes for her to change into.

“Thank you for accepting my playful suggestion. Sword Master.”

After all the clean-up was finished, the princess bowed her head and thanked me. I responded with a clumsy smile as I was still not used to being thanked by a princess-like beauty and noble being.

“No big deal.”

“No, I’m just grateful that I didn’t make it out of mannequin like Monica. If I had been beaten, would I have done the same?”

The princess frowned slightly, as if she imagined what would have happened if she had had her throat pierced just like Monica, and then she immediately changed her expression and looked at me.

“The skill and personality of the swordsman. I see. The future of our kingdom is bright.”

“No, what… ….”

“Let me ask just in case. ─Do you have a lover?”

At the princess’s words, I felt my heart sink. To ask if you have a lover after showing off your great side after the sparring, is that right?

As a rule, princesses are bound to marry knights, and especially strong knights. And I’m not a knight, but there’s no doubt that I’m a very strong swordsman…….

‘Oh, what should I do?’

I feel like my face is heating up right before I get to confess. I licked my lips and took a look at Eleanor’s face. She is a beauty everywhere you look. How pretty must her child be with her and the child she bears… ….

“Sword Saint?”

“Oh no!”

“I’m glad.”

But Eleanor left that one word behind and turned her back. When I stared blankly at her, unable to understand what the hell she was so lucky about, Eleanor didn’t pay attention to my gaze and kicked Canelli, who was lying on her couch and was depressed.

“How long are you going to do that! I’m going back, so follow me!”

“But…… The earrings for Evan were taken away…… Someone like me is not worth living…….”

“Ah, really! I’ll give it back to you later!”

“It’s meaningless if it’s not now… ….”

“Let’s go!”

In the end, Canelli was forcibly lifted by Eleanor’s escort driver and dragged along.

I gazed at the back of Eleanor as she disappeared without any confession, then returned to her inn, swallowing her tears.

‘Yeah, what kind of confession is something like me? Well then…….’

After returning to the inn, I was lying on the bed and passing the time blankly, when someone knocked on the door.

Is it cleaning? Wanting to, I opened the door and tilted my head as I looked at Monica on the other side.

“That way… ….”

“Chae, take responsibility.”

“Yes?”

Monica quietly looked around and quickly entered the room and closed the door. Click – Seeing her locking her door, I felt something unusual about her.

Did he come here to assassinate him because he was made of manneken urine? As she looked at her, clutching the hilt of her sword, her Monica blushed and opened her mouth.

“Because of you…… I was kicked out of the princess’ direct escort knight…….”

“Why is that because of me… ….”

“Because he said he didn’t need an article to pee or get dirty!”

Click-saying that, Monica slowly took off the armor I was wearing and started throwing it away. I watched closely, wondering if that was a trick or something, but hesitated when I saw the leather clothes sticking to the inside of the armor.

“If you want to come back—he told me to wait on you here…… I, men don’t like things like this anyway!? Ruler! Hurry up and take care of me!”

Listening to her words, I realized why the princess asked if she had a lover.
