Chapter 50

Even when helping kids in their early 5’s, I can’t be dominant. So talk about a solution. Because I, too, was walking on thin ice through each day of their dominant abuse and discrimination.

“…… You and I really have a long life ahead of us.” Suddenly a sneer erupted. How not a single loaf of bread. Would even they choose such a lowly male lead?

Once I thought about it, it turned out that I was in such a situation. Because I know it’s easier to get the favor of someone who doesn’t have anything than to have a lot of things. “This is for you” For me who had gone through a storm, the situation of giving a surprise gift with a cute face like a normal heroine was impossible from the start.

I loosened the necklace and handed it to him.

“This is ……”

“It’s like a toy, but it’s a sword. , grab the handle part and blow on the magic.” Elixir, confused by the toy sword I was inexplicably holding out, looked at me silently.

“Hurry up.” At my urging, he had to raise the sword ornament with his thumb and forefinger.

In that instant, his hand glowed brightly, and Ikris held the long, long blade in his hand. Ikris stared at the sudden sword with eyes as wide as ever. Unlike the other swords, it wore no jewels or jewelry and looked rough, but with the passage of years, its glow was extraordinary.

“I bought this with ten times the amount of money?” The male lead was indeed a male lead, and Illyx, who stood in his novice training clothes and held a majestic iron sword in his hand, was very handsome. No one could imagine that he was a slave.

I felt the sparse crowd around me making eyes at him.

“This, why ……” Illyx asked as he froze and looked at the sword in his hand. The voice coming from him sounded gagged for some reason.

He held a stately iron sword, and I tentatively opened the conversation.

“In the Inca Empire, it’s simply not possible for a slave from a defeated country to hold a magic sword.”

“But if your desire to serve me as master hasn’t changed, in the future ……”

“You’re the one.” Illyx’s pupils dilated even wider than when he realized the necklace had turned into a sword.

It wasn’t going to be given to the sword like a threat. Just like the heroine in normal mode, ‘Regardless of status, one day you will swear to me. I want to recite a touching line ……’

“Haha.” I’m so moved by my theme that I’m freezing.

“From the moment the topic of ‘bullying’ was brought up, I fought back tears as I fought my way to the pinnacle of duress.

“Decide whether to accept the sword I offer or remain a slave.” “Eryx just looked at me clearly and didn’t answer me. I had given up. It was then thought that if I didn’t accept it, I would take it away again and give it to the Duke or Derek as a gift to him. Suddenly Ikris raised the sword of.

“What, what’s doing?” The moment I felt strained at his sudden action, he slowly knelt in front of me. Barring my casually fidgeting hand, he impolitely yanked it over and clutched my palm.

“With this unique sword, I swear eternal obedience and loyalty to you.” Elise said, slowly lowering her head. Loose lips touched the back of the hand.

The first contact with the hero was a faint warmth that wasn’t cold or hot. But I didn’t even feel him well. Swear eternal obedience and loyalty to you with this one and only sword. Is this a premature “scoop” signing ceremony for the two?

This is very different from the promise Ikris made to the heroine in normal mode.

The feeling of uneasiness suddenly struck. But the “40% Favorability”, the high favorability immediately suppressed the unknown feeling of uneasiness. ”It’s just a different situation.” With this comforting thought, he looked down at Eryx who kissed the back of his hand. A neat gray-brown patch of head was seen.

“…… Don’t betray me, Eryx.” For the first time, I spoke from my heart to that lonely man of mine.

“Betrayal …… is only death.”

Everything I bought from the weapon store was delivered to the place the next day. The hired hands opened their mouths wide at the sight of the boxes piled up at the front door, “Ms. Penelope! What’s all that one?” The terrified housekeeper rushed to my room, where I had just gotten up and washed my face.

“What?”

“It’s been a long time since you’ve left the house, where the hell have you been ……” The butler couldn’t continue in the face of my titanic question.

“You bought so many weapons? Especially over 60 cases filled with wooden swords.”

“Well, it doesn’t seem like enough.” Thinking about yesterday’s incident, I shrugged. The butler was silent for a moment. He looked at me like he was looking at a small child who didn’t know any better and let out a long sigh before speaking again.

“…… I understand Miss’s concern, but Miss.”

“The Duke doesn’t skimp on his budget for knights, and neither do wooden swords. There are still plenty of quantities left, so my lady doesn’t need to buy any more.”

“Who cares who?” I cocked my head a little at his words

. In that case, the butler added with a very regretful expression.” It’s been a long time since I’ve been out, but more than that, you haven’t purchased any gems to wear? Or a dress ……”

“Butler, you must be thinking wrong.” I corrected him with a frown.

“They were not bought for the knights of the family.”

— “Huh? Then ……”

“It’s a gift for my escorts.”

He stammered asking to me those stupid behaviors are completely unbelievable. “Then, so many things are ……”

“The steward also heard about the commotion that happened yesterday put.”

Hearing my words, the deacon’s face became instantly gloomy.

“Then what can I do about the guy who cursed me, just spend money on weapons for my guards?” I secretly scoffed at such a reaction from him.

“I didn’t feel as if the training stuff Eryx was using was enough, so I bought some for him. What? Don’t have a place to store them?”

“No.” The butler shook his head hastily. There was no place in the Duke’s space where these things could be kept, it was too much of a shame. Of course, the deacon wasn’t flustered by this, but I deliberately misinterpreted his question. It meant to leave it alone.

“The lady has a mind of her own.” Within moments, the steward nodded slowly, agreeing with my words. I thought I was going to be instructed a time or two more.

Although I thought about my situation a few times, my ignorant attitude towards Penelope did not change. I looked at that apology incident two days ago, which he had obviously changed, with a new sense of wonder, and then opened my mouth to speak.

“Concern for him is enough, the steward is busy, there is no need to have to pay attention to him”

“Then ……”

“As it has been so far, just wait and see what happens.”

“I know. I’ll organize the gifts I bought and put them in the storage room that only the lady’s escort keeps track of.”

“Thank you.” I smiled courteously at him. I was glad to finally be able to communicate with each other in this house.

Shortly after the butler left, Emily came to me with breakfast.

“Miss! I heard the morning delivery was a gift for the escort?” She said a great deal while setting the dishes.

“It spreads really fast.”

“I also like to follow my master out ……” Emily showed a regretful look.

For a noble lady, a dedicated maid was an existence that could not be ignored. Because the master’s trust would be directly linked to the power of the attendant, I understand this feeling of hers as she resolved to become my subordinate not long ago.

“I gave her what I took out earlier.” ”

This ……”

“It’s a kind of buy from a weapon store.” Instead of accepting it gladly, Emily looked at my hand with her big eyes. As what is it, can’t take it right away.

“This is …… what? Miss? ”

“It’s a gift for you.”

“A gift ……? ”

“To protect you from danger.” What was given to Emily was not due to being used. But it was a universal gift for someone dear.

“I have a lot of them, and now that you’re mine too, there’s no telling when or where something bad might happen again. So keep it with you all the time.”

I felt a twinge of apology for Emily because I had come out of the woodwork on her. Plus she had refused an expensive gem I had given her and frankly, she didn’t want to try it.

I figured that if I refused even that, maybe there was something else on my mind.

“Miss ……,” Emily called out to me with tears in her eyes as she looked up.

“It’s the first time I’ve gotten a gift like this while working here.”

“–Yes? ”

“It’s very beautiful. I’ll treasure it. Thank goodness for that. I will try harder to serve the girl in the future! ” She resolutely swore her allegiance many times.

Seeing this, remembering the first time I came here and got stabbed by a needle was unrealistic.

System name +5 due to improved relations with those around her.(TOTAL: 15) A white box floats before her eyes, and her reputation, which had plummeted not long ago, is restored.

“Thank you, miss! Really appreciate it! She kept nodding her head, using Emily’s voice as a background sound. It would be nice to just go like that.
