"This is the mansion where you will be staying with me from now on."
Selene introduced the mansion casually as if it were nothing special.
But I found it hard to pass over it lightly.
The main gate of the Elesis family was antique, befitting its grandeur.
If there was no fate, I would have already turned away at the entrance.
That's what it means to be from a famous noble family.
'As expected, a noble is a noble.'
It finally dawned on me that I had become a noble knight.
To be honest, the work at the inn was unrealistic.
He was suddenly appointed as a knight, and was even ordered to lick a secret place.
If it had a sense of reality, it would have been stranger.
But the sight of the beautiful mansion and Selene's attitude told me it was true.
"What are you looking at?"
"No, the mansion is big."
"Hmm··· It's definitely on the large side. Thanks to that, there are a lot of places to hide without the servants knowing. And there's also an annex, so don't worry."
What on earth are you telling me not to worry about?
I don't think he realizes that saying that would only make him more worried. Or maybe he expected it to happen.
"Don't just stand there blankly, follow me."
"Ah··· Yes."
Selene walked past the mansion and headed somewhere else.
It seems that the destination wasn't a huge mansion.
"I··· wasn't going into the mansion?"
"We will assign you a separate place to stay."
I followed her through the intricate gardens past nameless plants.
After walking for a while, I saw a house smaller than a mansion.
"There it is. It's a little shabby, but I can decorate it more if you feel uncomfortable."
"No. Even this much is better than a shabby inn."
"Even though it's a separate building, it's just like your own home, so make yourself comfortable inside. The furniture is already prepared."
It's quite a distance from the mansion.
Even the servants that were occasionally seen around the mansion were nowhere to be found.
'Besides, the garden is decorated in such a complicated way… I wouldn't know unless I came here on purpose.'
Why are you making me stay in a house like this?
If Young-ae, who had a lewd hobby, recommended it, it would be worth questioning her intentions.
At least it seemed like there were some ulterior motives.
"It's quite far from the mansion. "
"That's why it's better."
This confirms that there are impure intentions.
The playful smile said it all.
She seemed like a girl making fun plans.
"But··· What should I do as a journalist from now on?"
"Um··· Usually, it's okay if you follow me to escort me. There are some problems though."
"Problem?"
"You don't have to worry about it, just ignore it."
Selene went into the house first, as if telling them not to worry.
Although I still felt uneasy, my first priority was to check out the house I would be living in.
"The house··· is more ordinary than I thought."
"Did you think there would be something special?"
"Honestly, I thought there might be some weird tool."
"Huh~ Did you think there would be some strange tools rolling around in the annex of the Elesis family?"
Normally you wouldn't think that way.
But the way she showed herself made such thoughts quite possible.
"If not, I apologize."
"No, you don't have to apologize. I have something hidden···♥ "
Oh, there's something hidden.
Well, if you go around doing it openly, the servants will gossip.
"···Isn't that in this house?"
"Well~ What do you think? Don't you think it would be comfortable in many ways if you stayed here?"
"If I find it, I'll just leave it."
"As expected, you're very good at communicating. Since you're an adventurer, you're quick-witted."
Selene looked quite happy.
Even though it's a conversation that other young ladies would find embarrassing.
"You look happy."
"Because you're the only one I can have this conversation with."
It seems like it's quite enjoyable to just reveal your desires.
I understand to some extent since you must have been enduring it for so long.
What happened at the inn was something I couldn't even tell the servants.
I didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Rather, there was an honest charm to the desire.
"Oh, just in case, I'm telling you this, but you know it's a secret from everyone else, right?"
"I know that much. If I knew that the youngest daughter of the Elesis family did something like that···"
"We'll see each other's blood in many ways. Of course, you'll see real blood."
What if the story leaks out?
It was obvious what would happen.
Even if such rumors spread, it would be quite annoying to the nobles.
First, they will try to get rid of me by destroying evidence.
Even if Selene says no, that can't be stopped.
"There's nothing to say, so don't worry."
"I'm glad you understand."
"Have I told you everything you need to know now?"
"Umm··· It's not that important··· But let me tell you one thing about this house."
It seems like there is something.
I felt the smile on her face grow slightly deeper.
"Is there something?"
"It's nothing special. There's just a passage in the basement that leads to my room in the mansion."
A passageway directly connected to Youngae's room.
I had an immediate idea what it would be used for.
"···It would be perfect to come secretly."
"Or you can come to me yourself."
"If I get caught coming out of Youngae's room, it won't end as a simple commotion."
"Don't worry. I told you that there are not many servants in the mansion. And···"
Selene approached slowly, taking her time with her words.
For a moment, I felt as if my body had stopped moving at the sight of her elegant gestures.
A distance that gradually gets closer.
A bold yet seductive atmosphere.
While I was still, she pressed her body against mine and whispered softly in my ear.
"What I did at the inn··· was so good, I look forward to the future···♥"
It was a voice that stimulated a man's desire just by hearing it.
I felt like I wanted to continue what had happened at the inn.
"Even if I say no, you're going to order me to do it anyway, so there's nothing I can do."
"I know. I feel proud that I was chosen as a reporter. Then, let's try to adjust slowly today."
The moment Selene quietly leaves the house.
A strange woman's voice was heard loudly from outside.
"Selene! Are you here?"
I instinctively looked at Selene.
Her face resembled that of a girl who had been caught in a prank.
"I guess you heard the story from the servants earlier."
"Who are you?"
"This is a reporter. Originally, he was supposed to be your exclusive reporter."
"I have a bad feeling about this."
"Probably right."
After exchanging a few words with Selene.
The owner of the voice opened the door and came inside.
"Selene, you're here. And··· this way···?"
Selene's expression becomes subtle.
Even though she was clearly a subordinate in the circumstances, I felt like she was being a nuisance.
"I was showing the house to the exclusive reporter."
"Exclusive reporter···? Are you talking about this guy?"
A gaze full of caution.
The look in the eyes of the woman looking at me could never be described as pretty.
It may be inevitable since his position has been taken away.
Of course, it seems Selene had no intention of accepting him as her exclusive knight.
"Did you do exactly what we talked about last time?"
"I said I would do it, so there's no problem, right?"
It seems like it wasn't done in silence.
But still, the woman didn't seem to like it.
'This one is also quite pretty.'
Orange hair that reaches her shoulders.
A well-toned, well-exercised body.
She looked exactly like the beautiful knight she is.
This is probably the feeling of a beautiful knight that people admire.
Selene, however, was looking at her as if she found it annoying.
"It's Selene's decision, so it's hard for me to say anything··· But I'm not sure if I can trust this man. I don't know his abilities either."
"I checked it myself, so there's no problem."
"···Let's talk about this later. And you guys!"
The knight glared at me with hostile eyes.
Even though all I did was get dragged by Selene.
"If you do anything foolish, my sword will cut off your head!"
That's already been done.
That too by your master's command.
But I couldn't say it exactly as it was.
"Yes. Let's be careful."
"Huh!"
As I spoke slightly in a mocking tone, the gaze grew slightly worse.
But she couldn't draw her sword in front of her master, so she kicked the door and ran out.
"This is what I was talking about as a problem earlier."
"She's a competent knight in her own right, but the problem is that she's too old-fashioned."
"But since she's the same woman, wouldn't it be better to hire her as your exclusive reporter?"
"What would it be like if such an old-fashioned knight were always by your side?"
"Ah···"
I immediately understood why they didn't make her their exclusive reporter.
If a knight like that follows you around, you have no choice but to suppress your desires in many ways.
That's why they brought me here and appointed me as a knight.
"Anyway, it's been a bit noisy all of a sudden, but welcome to the Elesis family."
Selene greeted me with the graceful gestures of a noble daughter.
