Chapter 7 – The Knight Commander Who Decides

He left Agnes on the mountain and returned to his room in the Knights’ barracks.

The whole time I was washing off the sweat in the washing area in the corner, my mind was quite light.

‘I think this is a satisfactory start.’

Even though I didn’t hear Agnes admit that she liked sex, I didn’t care.
The very sight of her going away while being fucked by me was proof that even she couldn’t deny her pleasure.

‘And this isn’t the end either.’

After taking a shower, thinking about my future plans with a proud heart, I sat down on the bed and picked up my phone.

As soon as you turn on the app, you will see a message saying that 1 corruption point has been added.
It’s a reward for violating an elf for the first time.

I looked around at the listed functions, thinking about how to use them.

‘There are a lot of things that seem useful, but there are only a few that can be opened with points.’

There were many conditions attached to unlocking it, such as requiring multiple points or unlocking only when more than a few points had already been used.

While I was looking to see what I could use right now, one feature caught my eye.

‘Corruption status? Is it like a status window?’

According to the explanation, it is a function that displays the status of the elf’s corruption in an easy-to-view manner.

Among the features that can currently be unlocked, it seemed the most useful, so I spent the points right away.

###

[Agnes]

Status: Resistance

###

There was only one Agnes on the list.
I think it’s probably the way that if I commit a crime, it gets added to the list.
There was a box next to her name painted in red.

‘It’s a red light when it’s in a resistance state.’

According to the explanation, the state of the elf is classified into four stages: [Resistance → Abandonment → Obedience → Affection], And each is indicated by a color in the order [Red → Yellow → Orange → Green].

Agnes’ current stage of ‘resistance’ is literally a state of resistance due to hostility toward me.
The next stage, ‘giving up’, meant not submitting, but losing the will to resist.

Additionally, Corruption Status provided the status of these four stages as well as additional information.

###

[Agnes]

Status: Resistance

Due to the nature of dark elves, their bodies are very sensitive and weak to pleasure.

If the amount of pleasure you receive is too much, you may faint.

###

As soon as I read it, I immediately nodded.
Didn’t love juice come out like a flood just by touching it with her hand?

At one point, she actually fainted.

Since the information is updated according to the passage of time or the state of the target, it seemed like a good function was chosen in many ways.

‘Shall I lie down now?’

Even when I lay my head on her pillow, the events of today keep coming back to me and I can’t sleep.
While I was rolling around with my eyes open and lost in many thoughts, someone knocked on the door.

Bang! Bang!

-Dake! Open this door right now!

‘I guess all the poison has already gone?’

Agnes, standing beyond the carefully opened door, looked more organized than at the top of the mountain.
It looks like he washed himself at the water’s edge on the way down.

However, her face was distorted with anger as she pointed the sword at me.

“Ask for forgiveness right away. Then I will at least suffocate you at once. Otherwise, I will make you cry out in pain and die.”

She can’t control her anger and warns loudly.
Fortunately, this was the farthest corner of the barracks basement, so there was no fear of being heard by other knights.

“Why me? You liked it too.”

“Shut up!”

I easily dodged the sword coming at me diagonally.
An attack aimed at the arms rather than the neck or vital points.

I could clearly see how she felt that it would be a waste to kill me comfortably.

Still, I was peaceful.
After dodging the next two sword strikes in succession, she brought her face closer to her opponent’s face and spoke.

“Are you really going to kill me?”

“Of course!”

“If you kill me, the princess will be sad.”

“If he finds out that you are a cowardly rapist, he will reward you!”

“Then the Queen will know that we did it.”

“…What?”

The sword she was about to swing stopped in the air, and Agnes also froze.
The boiling water seemed to quiet down when the fire was turned off.

“W-the queen…”

“If I tell the queen that I was forced into something, will she believe me? A dark elf who is crazy about sex with humans?”

If you look at the content alone, my current words are not very persuasive.

Even though Agnes is a pleasure-seeking race, unlike other dark elves, she lives a sincere life and is loyal to the queen.

Even if the queen heard that Agnes had an affair with a human, it was normal for our knight commander to believe her at least once, saying that it was impossible.

But that’s it.

‘You are saying this without knowing the queen’s personality.’

Since an elf can become pregnant by receiving the blessing of the World Tree, he does not necessarily need to mate with another person to leave his offspring.

Nevertheless, elves, like other races, have sexual desires, and restraining them is an important virtue that elves must maintain.
For these women who can become pregnant without sexual intercourse, sexual intercourse is an unholy act that purely pursues pleasure.

But even so, Nermedia’s hatred of sexuality went too far.

It was so disgusting that it disgusted all other species that had to mate for reproduction, including humans, animals such as pigs and monkeys, and even bugs.

That’s not all.

She was the exact opposite of the gentle and compassionate elf we think of, and was so cold-hearted that she would never tolerate even a single mistake on her part.

Also, your side is on your side and your side is on your side, there is absolutely no middle ground.

How do you know? Because I’ve experienced it.
Because I went through it again and again, and ended up getting murdered in the end.

If such a woman hears that Agnes and humans intermingled, will she really try to protect Agnes?

No matter how much she complained that it was an unwanted relationship, it was obvious that she would not just let it go because she believed in the dark elf and thought she was a fool.

This was why Agnes could not easily kill me or tell anyone about what happened today.

“…”

Agnes’ face, standing blankly as if her soul had escaped, serves as evidence that strengthens my thoughts.

She has spent more years with the queen than a human lifespan, so she knows Nermedia’s personality better than I do.

Now she must have realized the situation she was in, and her hand holding her sword was trembling.

“If the queen knows…”

“Maybe I’ll be kicked out of the kingdom forever?”

As if losing everything he had acquired through blood and sweat was not enough, the dark elf was eventually kicked out under the cold gaze of those around him for being a dark elf.

For Agnes, there was no future more scary than that.

“Well, that’s it…”

She muttered, completely entranced.

In fact, I expected that she would realize the situation right after she was attacked by me.
However, seeing as he came to her room and tried to kill her, it seems that his judgment was clouded by his emotions.

Now that I know, there was no big problem.

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone. If the queen finds out, I’ll get my head blown off too. Just…”

He trailed off and stroked Agnes’s desirable buttocks.
She flinched for a moment, but that was it.
I couldn’t put my hand away while biting her lip.

“You just have to be quiet like you are now. No matter what happens to me.”

“…I’m going back.”

Agnes just turned around and left the room.
Now that she understands her situation, she won’t make such a fuss anymore.

Don’t you think they could kill me secretly and report it falsely to the Queen, saying it was an accident?

It’s quite possible, but no matter what trick you try, the app will warn you of upcoming dangers, so you won’t get hit.

If she fails, I will retaliate in some way, so it was as if she was tying her own neck.

‘Has anything changed?’

I took out my phone and opened the elf’s status window.

Agnes’ condition is still in the resistance stage.
It would have been nice to move on to the giving up stage right away, but it seemed like there was still some hostility towards me and the will to resist.

‘Doesn’t care. ‘You just have to change it going forward.’

After finishing the conversation with Agnes, I feel like I’ve completed my homework.

Perhaps because I was refreshed, I didn’t feel sleepy at all, so I just lay in bed and looked at the app until I fell asleep.

—

Night came soon after dawn, when Dayk and Agnes were talking.

Agnes, who had been called as if it were yesterday, went to the queen’s bed with heavy steps.

“I have answered the queen’s call.”

“Welcome, Agnes.”

NerMedia, whom she called, did not even look at because she was looking at the moon outside the window.

Her voice as she continued was quieter than usual.

“There hasn’t been any word from that human yet about leaving the kingdom. I thought I’d hear it soon. Besides, I heard the knights didn’t have any training today?”

She canceled her training schedule because she felt she couldn’t concentrate on training, but since she couldn’t inform her queen of the situation, Agnes bowed her head obediently.

“…Sorry.”

“Oh my, I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to reprimand Agnes, I was just trying to encourage her. I’ve been very sensitive to that person lately. Do you understand?”

It felt like her shoulders were being weighed down by the pressure the Queen was radiating from her entire body, but the people here didn’t try to show it.

“Of course, Queen.”

“Agnes hates humans just like me, so she’s probably working hard in her own way. I won’t urge you any further, so it’s okay to do it in Agnes’ way and at her own pace. But…”

As the Queen trails off, turning her gaze to Agnes, she somehow feels as if the air around her has frozen cold.

It wasn’t just a coincidence that the female knight had such a premonition.

“It’s not like… You had skin-to-skin contact with that human or anything, right?”

“Huh? That can’t be possible! It can never happen…!”

“I guess that’s right? I’m sorry for saying something unnecessary. I was wondering if there was another reason why time was dragging on. Agnes is also a dark elf…”

Nermedia, who had spoken up to that point, covered her mouth and spoke again.

“Oh, I’m so sorry. I made a mistake again. Please understand that this is all because Agnes didn’t handle it quickly.”

“…”

“But listen carefully, because what I say from now on is not a mistake. If something happens to that person, even if it was a mistake, I will never forgive you. Once the snow field has been dirty, it can’t turn pure white again, right? So, let’s take care of that person. “I’m thinking about how to get them kicked out.”

“…Yes, Queen. I will keep that in mind.”

“Then you can go back now. I’m sorry for calling you so late.”

Trudging. Trudging.

Agnes, who finished the conversation, throws her heavy foot forward with difficulty.

Nermedia’s warnings did not leave her mind.

[If something happens to that person, I will never forgive you.]

Agnes knew her lord’s personality very well, as she had been by the queen’s side since childhood.

What would happen if what happened to Dike reached Nermedia’s ears was so vividly pictured that the young knight commander closed his eyes tightly.

‘I have to figure it out on my own somehow. But how… ?’

A desperate struggle to survive.
In the end, Agnes made a bold decision.

‘I have no choice but to kill that man…’

When I was threatened in Dake’s room at dawn, there was no chance.
However, since it is not easy to conceal evidence in case of accidental murder, one should not act rashly.

To hide what was going on with him, he had to either kill himself without anyone knowing, or make it look like he died of some other cause.

‘Yes, I can’t help it. ‘It can’t be helped.’

Agnes consoled herself and tried to calm his racing heart.

—

The other elf knights in the barracks were asleep.
I was lying down on the floor and doing push-ups.

My reincarnated body was much sturdier and physically stronger than my previous life, so it was fun to exercise bodyweight.

Ugh.

The sound of the phone vibrating on the bed.
I couldn’t have received a call from someone, so I checked the screen to see if anything had changed in the app.

[Danger alert message]

As soon as you see the identity of the vibration, you can roughly guess what it will be about.

If the notification came at this timing, then of course Agnes was the cause.

And the content of the message matched my expectations.

‘It’s a trap. ‘Thank you for trying to justify it yourself.’

She thought about how to give back to her, and I continued her workout again.
