(EP-5.2) Flower Aira #5

    005 – Evil Flower Aira #5

    Raggedly exhaling, Elga placed her arms on both sides of my shoulders to keep me from escaping.

    “Phew, slurp, heueu. Haeu, how is it, isn''t it good? Eung?"

    To be honest, Elga was as good as a teenage middle school student. There was nothing to say about the mood of the kiss. She had no skill, and she frankly just flicked her tongue back and forth.

    It felt good in its own way, but it was not my style to just act passively.

    So instead of keeping still, I tried to force my own tongue into her mouth.

    Tshuup-

    “Eueu, eueup!? Heueuaa!?”

    Elga jumped away from me. She seemed really startled. She didn’t think that she would be attacked, did she?

    "Wh, who told you to move your tongue? I told you to stay still, didn''t I? Do you think it''s funny?"

    Elga was angry. Wondering if it was because it wasn''t Aira who ordered so, or if I was just ignoring her because she wasn''t the Queen, etc.

    At this point, even an idiot could notice that Elga was secretly insecure towards Aira, the current Queen of Angmar. She always compared everything to the latter and she strived to always do better than the other.

    Perhaps it was this inferiority complex towards Aira that was prickling her.

    As she lived in the shadow of Aira every day, I guess she was trying to relieve that resentment by using me, Aira''s servant. This was Elga Lioness'' way of venting.

    "Anyway, don''t ever do anything I didn''t ask you to do, okay?”

    Elga wiped the saliva from her lips with the sleeve of her dress.

    Her blue eyes shook violently from side to side. For a while, she seemed unsettled. Finally, she exclaimed, "Ah-", as if she had thought of something.

    Seureureuk-

    Elga then pulled something out from the deep cleavage of her dress. It was a small badge or an emblem-like object.

    “What''s that?”

    “It’s something from the Barbarians who summoned the demon. It felt a little weird, so I took it. I''m wondering if you know what this is.”

    When I received the badge from Elga, it felt warm. Perhaps it was because it came from her bosom.

    ‘So even a cold-hearted girl has warm breasts,'' I thought, as I inspected the thing.

    “It looks like a pretty elaborate piece of work, but the burn marks are so bad that it''s unrecognizable.”

    "Don''t whine, that''s the best one."

    Don''t whine? That was harsh.

    Elga ended up saying "No" immediately after and went back to the banquet hall, treating it as if nothing just happened.

    "What? That was surprisingly bland.”

    I needed to go home. I was like a beggar working overtime. Was this how it felt to have a get-together with your boss?

    I left the Court and returned to my private residence on the central street of Monarch City. It was a humble residence, a small two-bedroom family home.

    Since it was far from the slums, the residential environment was quiet. There were no other advantages other than the fact that it was easy to commute to and from the Royal Palace.

    Rumors said that ‘Tae-oh lives in a magnificent mansion, with heaps and mountain-like piles of gold bars in a secret warehouse hidden underground.''

    In fact, I did not have much greed for such things.

    I thought if I had a lot of gold, someone would definitely want to kill me for it.

    Even if I didn''t have gold, Aira would take care of all the items I needed and the security guards, so there was no reason for me to accumulate something that could lead to my death.

    However, I must admit, the rumors were half true.

    My home indeed had a specially made underground vault. It was a really great safe that none could open.

    After making sure no one was around, I opened the secret door hidden under the living room carpet and entered the basement.

    Inside were gold bars that wouldn''t run out for a few years, and even more importantly, a scroll.

    A scroll.

    Yes, it was a scroll.

    I opened it up for the first time in a long while and read what was written on it.

    『Rebellion after the execution of Belmott. The Dawn Association gained power from the fringes with Belmott’s slush funds.』

    What was written here was none other than the content of the novel, ‘Villain Hunter''.

    Before I forgot the contents of the novel, I wrote down the big events I remembered. This was more valuable than any other treasure I had.

    “Since the matter with Belmott''s execution is over, the Dawn Association is good for now.”

    Like checking off an item in a list, I put a small "X" next to what I wrote down. So, what was going to happen next?

    My eyes went lower and lower, reading the words slowly.

    『Hero appears.』

    Swaet~

    I quickly rolled up the scroll, lest anyone suddenly appeared. This was only for me to see.
