“U-um, I-I’m really grateful for the offer, but I don’t plan on being a knight. I’m going to return to my village to help out my father and brother! I want to improve the living conditions there!”

Their eyes widened in shock.

“W-what?”

“W-why? It’s the Royal Knights, you know? More specifically, the Royal Palace Knights. The squadron that everyone wants to enter.” 4wdftv

“Yes, but I plan on staying in my home village. I want to use my abilities for the betterment of it.”

While I had still been riding the carriage, I desperately searched for a reason to reject their offer that wouldn’t come across as rude.

But the moment I reject their offer, no matter how hard I try to be inoffensive, the captain snarls and narrows his eyes, causing them to seem even sharper.

I wonder why he’s upset.

VbvH9d

Maybe I said something I shouldn’t. I don’t really know.

A wave of anxiety crashes into me. How can I phrase it better?

If Loendal were here, I’m sure he can think of a better excuse for me. Too bad I currently have no one to ask for help.

“Stay in your village? Are you refusing my invitation?” 7YJQho

“I-I’m sorry, but I’ve wanted to do this for quite some time. I’m already resolute in my decision, so I would like to refuse─”

“Lian, if you stay by my side, your life will be smooth sailing from now on, you know?”

I glance up, the gloomy face of the captain in full view. Then I shake my head, nervous.

“No, I don’t wish for an easy life. I’m satisfied with what I have.” izuHk1

I’ve been allowed to live well enough. No, more than enough.

I’ve got Loendal and the others in that warm mansion. Marie and the kids in that warm church, always ready to welcome me. I’ve also made many acquaintances and friends in the village. They always greet me with a smile.

“You know, I’ve taken a great interest in you. Your abilities are amazing, and above all, you also have that beautiful silver hair. Together with that snowy white skin… It seems like more of the Violet family’s blood runs through your veins that that of the Owen family. If I’m not wrong, your mother should be a daughter of Count Violet’s family.”

“That’s true…”

Lian’s mother was born in the capital city.

The youngest daughter of the Violet family, a famous noble clan in the capital. kGRA2p

Apparently, Lian’s father fell in love with her at first sight. He earnestly chased after her and spilled some money, winning her hand in marriage in the end.

“You also have the crystal eyes unique to those of Violet family blood… And yours are especially clear. Completely unclouded. Very good, even that side of yours mimics that person’s… It makes me want to defile it.”

His last words confuse me.

No, it might by my brain refusing to comprehend them. Dge pU

“Lian. Be my subordinate. I will take very good care of you. Wherever you want to go, I’ll bring you, and whatever you want, I’ll make sure falls into your hands.”

The dark-haired man stands up from his sofa and sinks into the seat next to mine.

I try to inch to the side, but my body feels heavy and won’t follow my commands. It feels similar to having a body fatigued by a cold.

The droopy-eyed knight, who has been silent the whole time, suddenly breaks into a laugh. 07op w

“Seems like Captain likes you a lot. The moment he saw you, he said that you resembled his first love, the count of the Violet family. He wouldn’t shut up about you─”

“Shut up, Saular.”

“Fine, fine. I’ll shut up. Please excuse me,” said Droopy Eyes, shrugging his shoulders and playing the fool.

“Please come to my side, Lian. I will take care of you. Okay?” kNYwVE

The captain smiles again. Leans forward even more.

“N-no, I…”

I feel somewhat agitated.

It’s probably because I’ve been extremely nervous from the very beginning. JvclmC

And my chest hurts.

The black-haired man places his hand on my knee. Even though there is cloth preventing direct skin-to-skin contact, his slightly damp hand makes me uncomfortable.

“Are you alright, Lian? Do you feel sick?”

“N-no…” NUPMly

I press my hand against my chest.

What’s happening?

My body feels a little hot. Have I caught a fever?

The knight with the black locks and a sickening sweet scent stares at me, his smile unfaltering. k9 nfH

“Are you sure you’re fine? You must be tired from the match today. Do you want to rest for a while? It’s fine to stay for the night and relax. Do you want to go to the bed?”

At the sound of those words, Droopy Eyes shakes his head. “How shameless…”

“You’re annoying, Saular.”

“Yes, yes. Then I will leave now. Please take your time.” With that, Droopy Eyes rises from the sofa seat and makes his way to the door. As he passes me by, he shoots me a look of pity, before flashing a smile. u5PUQG

“You should enjoy it too, okay? He did say that he’ll take care of you. Once the captain likes something, he will play with it for the rest of his life. At best, just cry out cutely to retain his affection.”

After saying that, he’s gone.

Cold sweat runs down my nape.

‘Enjoy it too’ and ‘cry out cutely’? What does he mean by that? fHRltG

That’s wrong. I know exactly what he means.

I’m not stupid.

I fully understand how bad this current situation is. I was too careless.

“Are you okay? Can you stand?” IP2dgE

A dirty smile tugging on his lips, the dark-haired knight touches my shoulder, seemingly stroking it.

Shivers run throughout my entire body.

Detesting his touch, I slap his hand away.

“Enough. I won’t go to the knight school, nor be your subordinate! I’m sorry, but I definitely refuse!” 45zW7X

“Why? What part of my offer upsets you? I said that I’ll take care of you, right?”

With a smile still firmly plastered on his face, he grabs my hand. Pushes me down on the sofa.

I can’t move my body. Not one bit.

No way! I can’t be this weak! u1D7zI

Then a feeling of dread hits my stomach. The tea from before tasted strange. And neither of the two knights took a sip.

I don’t want to believe it, but maybe this is──

My thoughts become more and more cluttered as panic spreads through me. In spite of my panic, I manage to glare hotly at the man before me.

“I don’t want it! I‘m returning home now! Please let me go!” tpCJgc

“Is that so? But you should be feeling quite good soon, though?”


Special thanks to FrostyMoka-san for the ko-fi!

      I’ll confirm that Lian’s first time will be with Alfred~

  10. Those two knights were bad news from the beginning, Lian better get out of there soon T_T Alfred’s going to blow his top when he hears of this, that’s for sure.

  13. Who is with me to break their bones and leave them in a forest? Let them starve. Let them feel the despair of slow death. Let there be animal that eat them while they’re still alive. (ʘдʘ╬)

    .

    .

    Someone help cause i think i’m going crazy from feeling anxious. ヘ(。□°)ヘ

    ALFRED WHERE ART THOU!

    • I have six hungry rats and an anthill of carnivorous ants. 😄 It’s time to play Edgar Allan Poe.

      Bears? Wolves? No, that’s too clement for them. I want to see them suffer and scream while they are devoured in life little by little!!! 😈

  14. Really? The aphrodisiac card? I’m honestly a little disappointed in this author at this point….

    • Ahaha, I hope Alkyri-san will still give this story a go^^ I personally fall in love a little bit more with Lian after the next chapter part~~

  15. I wish there were daily updates :S i cant take this!!!

    • I also want to update daily, Ahm-san, sadly, my English tells me otherwise… Hopefully I can increase the number of releases one day. Who knows, maybe I can be the next JP Rainbow Turtle-sama? Ehehe^^

  16. the hell!? the hell the hell!? UGH MOVE ASIDE OLD MAN!!! MY BABY’S VIRGINITY IS ONLY FOR THOSE THAT I APPROVE!( IN THIS CASE ALFRED) I SWEAR TO GOD I’LL BURN YOU MYSELF IF YOU DO ANYTHING TO HIM!!!

  17. How strong is that date-rape drug? Lian only took a sip.

    That said, Lian strongly resembles Count Violet. The original Lian should have done the same since they have the same body. Their expressions might be different, but that should be it. In that case, then why didn’t the original Lian go through this? I wonder if the goddess’s blessing somehow made him more appealing and attractive to people in this world or if it is because of the strength and foreign nature of his soul.

    …Of course, it is possible that this happened to the original Lian, but it wasn’t depicted in the game because the game is limited to Alfred’s POV. If Alfred wasn’t aware of this, then the players wouldn’t be either. Rape and sexual abuse is extremely common and often unreported, after all.

  18. AAAAAAAAHHHH THE CLIFFHANGER. THE CLIFFHANGEEEEEERRRRRRRR.

    Thanks for the update!

  19. I really regret reading that spoiler. Damn! My curiosity kiling me 😭

  20. Me at Rapey McCreep: omae wa mo shinderu (^_^)🔪

    RmC: Nani?! *finds out he’s been castrated before dying in excruciating pain*

  21. Wait. Is Lian/Nao still carrying those magical protection devices around???

  22. F**K OFF BASTARD. OUR LOVELY LIAN CAN ONLY HAVE ONE PERSON TOUCH HIM, AND THAT’S OUR ML. So all you other jealous old farts, screw off! Don’t you DARE taint his innocence >3<

  23. ミイさん万歳!I couldn’t hold myself back and binge read the whole novel in raws yesterday and I have no regrets, they are sooo cute (≧∀≦) I will still continue reading the translation for better understanding though, thank you very much for your effort and time you spent/ will spend on this novel! 気をつけてください、じゃね!

  24. This novel broke me.

    I have so many tortures and deaths in my mind that it looks like a Saw movie directed by Tarantino… and none seems enough to calm me down. Ughhh, I want to see blood so bad…

    Although thanks for the chapter… and the ulcer… please update soon or I’m likely to die of bile.

  25. Maybe Lian’s brother will hear about this meeting and run at full speed to save his little angel (I hope so).

    I really hope those two garbage lumps get eaten by magical beasts~

    Please become fertilizer~

    Thank you very much for the chapter, Mii-san~🌸

  26. Me: without reading the spoiler

    ┬─┬◡ノ(° -°ノ) Alfred save your wifey!Me: after reading the spoiler

    Me: (╯°Д°)╯︵/(.□ . \) :pervert

    Thanks for the chapter ♡

  27. Lian!!!, ¡idiota!, ¿por qué quieres seguir engañandote a tí mismo diciendo que eres un hombre?, que no has visto parejas gay en tu escuela, so tonto.

    ¿Por qué no has querido ver que te ven como una linda princesa? aethhhhhhhhhhh diantes, nunca, nunca bebas algo… diosa… sí le pasa algo en serio todos te cucificaremos!!!!, este bastardo espero que sea comido por demonios

  28. Por favor que llegue Alfred!!! Su primera vez tiene que ser con él!! T_T No me hagan odiar esta bella historia T_T

    Muchas gracias por los capítulos!

  29. Oh my God, please Great Godess rescue our Lian! I hope he has some sort of divine protection at least or something. I definitely don’t want that Scum captain to hurt out Lian. I hope he’s kneed in the groin!

  30. ??? Did a reputable imperial knight squad captain just drug the son of a noble in an expensive hotel in the city?????? Or worse, the father sold him????

  31. ( ≧Д≦) Someone help, there’s a thief! There’s a bad guy trying to rob our Lian’s chrysanthemum! Anyone please help!! I wanna enter that room and beat that viper until he becomes black! I gonna call my brother to give him a lesson!!

    Thank you for the chapter!!!!

  32. After all the screaming this chapter, I’m preparing the handkerchief for the next part.
