Chapter 114 – At the Celebration.

Although it was said to be a blessing in disguise due to the punishment of heaven, it became difficult to continue the banquet because people had died, and Shizak had no choice but to cancel the banquet. Nevertheless, no one complained in particular.

The banquet was already well underway. It was an atmosphere where people felt that they had gained a harvest by confirming that Tiaran was a warrior.

“Hey, hero! Next time, if you have time, come visit my family…”

“Ah! Marie, it’s a shame!”

“I want to invite the hero to my house too!”

In the aftermath, several young ladies who were already keeping an eye on him showed interest, which led to competition.

“Excuse me, I have some business to attend to Garion.”

“””Hi! I’m sorry!!”””

As Benia approached with an uncomfortable expression, the ladies dispersed in an instant like a school of sardines avoiding a predator.

“Huh ♪ Are you happy that you’re becoming more popular? Hero. Sa.?”

“Ugh, he was a playboy after all.”

Lucia and Crusha also looked at him with disapproving expressions as he was surrounded by ladies, but they seemed to soon realize the discomfort and turned their gazes to Anis one by one.

“… Why?”

Anise, who caught all the women’s attention, tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand.

“No, don’t you usually say something at this point?”

“That’s right, Anis. Did something happen?”

When Krusha and Lucia asked questions mixed with doubt and concern, she seemed to understand only then and ran up to Tia Ran’s arm.

“If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry. I’m Tiaran’s scabbard.”

“””Sword sheath?”””

When the women did not understand and were puzzled, Anise smiled and hugged his arm tightly and placed it between her breasts.

“Really?”

“Well, that has to be the case.”

The blatant yet lewd behavior felt even more uncomfortable because they knew Anise. There was already an obsession with Tiaran, but it seemed to have changed in a more serious direction.

‘What happened?’

They were looking at Anis, who was holding Tiaran’s arm, putting aside the jealousy that was prickling inside her.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

“Margrave Sorrent?”

It was Sizak who came between them.

“I have something I would like to ask of you. Do you mind if you have time tomorrow?”

They stayed at Sorrent Castle for one night after hearing that he would provide lodging and food for one night if they wanted.

“Did Illyana run away?”

Tiaran returned to the room he had been assigned to and scratched his cheek. She opened her mouth, thinking that she was more shy than she thought.

“But what are you doing when you’re not going back to your room?”

When he turned around, Benia was standing in front of the door, still wearing a dress. She hesitated, opening and closing her mouth, then looked at her Tiaran as if she had made up her mind.

“You know. Is Tiaran satisfied with that?”

“Are you satisfied? What do you mean?”

When he answered as if he didn’t know what was going on, Benia closed her eyes tightly.

“To become a warrior instead of Anis is like saying you want to go back to that time.”

“It’s that time.”

That time would also refer to the time when people were used under the command of the church, blindfolded and fighting in the name of a demon extermination unit rather than a hero.

“It’s a bit surprising that you would say that. Didn’t you want to make me a hero again?”

“No! I, I want Garion to be treated more fairly.”

Benia recalled. A time in the past.

“… At that time, there were only people who were anxious to kill Garion.”

Even party members were no exception. At most, the only people who took Tiaran’s side were Benia and her saint. If it weren’t for the saint, Tiaran would have been in danger many times.

“There was nothing I could have done.”

Although she is now recognized for her skills and has become the queen’s closest confidant, at the time she was just a fallen noblewoman with only some skills. Even her skills were nothing compared to the almost magical swordsmanship shown by Tia Ran.

“So I thought this time I could be of help to Garion…”

In fact, he refused to become a warrior. Benia came to a realization after understanding Anise’s situation and seeing him eventually call himself a hero.

“I’m sorry. I forced Anise to do it.”

While she has been teaching Anis, she has constantly compared her to Tiaran and forced her to qualify as a warrior. The fact that it is no different from the behavior that the church has forced upon him.

Therefore, Venia felt disillusioned with herself because Tiaran, who had refused to become a warrior, was forced to shoulder her burden instead.

“…”

As Tiaran watched her with her head down and trudged closer to her, Venia flinched as if she thought he might hit her.

-Tub

“Ugh?”

“Man. How are now and then the same?”

A question appeared on Benia’s face as she placed her hand on her bowed head and stroked it.

“That was back then. I was a newbie who had just become Gold, and you had no power, so you had no choice but to be swayed by the cult. It’s different now, right?”

Benia became Queen Midias’ closest confidant and commander of the knights, and Tiaran now became a warrior in public. Even if the cult tries to use tricks, the means to use tricks like before are limited.

“The same goes for the guy who died in the banquet hall this time.”

“As expected, you noticed.”

Because he was clearly a religious figure. Benia wasn’t late for no reason. There is no one big enough to attack the banquet hall of a great noble like the Margrave, but the force exists.

“How many people came in?”

“There were about 10 assassins… How did you know?”

Benia learned of the existence of attackers targeting the banquet hall, so he entered the banquet hall late to dispose of them in advance. Even though she was wearing a dress, the fact that there wasn’t even a trace of blood on it was purely due to her skill.

“There’s a bit of a gap in the side of the dress here.”

Benia’s dress was originally not very revealing, but due to her violent movements, the lower part of her arms fell off, making it look like it was barely connected by her threads.

The appearance was as natural as it was originally, so no one noticed it except Tiaran, who knew the original appearance of the dress.

“Have I always been like this?”

Benia blushed, as if belatedly sensing her shame, but her highlights were still there.

“Isn’t there someone else you should apologize to?”

“I’ll go see Anis separately later. See you tomorrow.”

Just like that, Benia tried to leave his room.

“Is there really a need to visit later?”

“Eh?”

“Come in.”

“?!”

Benia immediately froze in shock at the sight of Anise opening the door and coming in at the same time as Tiaran said. It was probably because she was waiting outside and didn’t notice her presence.

“Benia says so, what do you think?”

“Ah, ah. Anise, I, I.”

Perhaps because she met Anis so suddenly, Benia stuttered and was unable to continue her words.

‘Hagiya. I was quite shocked when I found out that Anis’ teacher was Benia.’

She cursed Anis, thinking that he taught her in the church, but who would have guessed that it was her former colleague whom she trusted quite a bit? It was even more shocking because it seemed like there was a fantasy, almost an obsession, about being a hero.

‘I don’t know anything else, but I have to figure this out on my own.’

Since this was entirely Venia’s fault, Tiaran decided to leave her punishment to Anis. Basically, things like this have to be resolved between the parties involved.

“Master. Do you really think so?”

“… Yes.”

When Anis asked that question, Benia finally regained her composure and lowered her head in guilt. She got down on her knees as if she would accept whatever punishment was given.

‘Shall we just wait and see?’

Tiaran still watched with curiosity, wondering what punishment her former colleague Nianis would inflict.

“Haup♡ Churp, Chuup♡”

He couldn’t find anything to say as he saw Anise burying her face between his legs, munching on his swollen cock, biting and sucking it like a sweet candy.

“Wow, wow♡ Tiaran, how about something like this?”

The feel of Anise’s tongue, which even spits out the dick for a moment and then moves down a little further to the side of the skinny pocket and between the crotch, is ecstatic. Even though the behavior becomes more and more bold and lewd.

“Ah, wow, wow. That’s it.”

The problem was that behind Anis, who was eagerly caressing his object, Benia was watching their actions through her spread fingers while covering her eyes with her hands.

‘Why did this happen?’

Tiaran recalled the punishment Anis had given Venia.

“Master, can you really do anything?”

“Yes.”

When Anis confirmed Benia’s sincerity, she smiled and said.

“Then, like Anis, can you become Tiaran’s scabbard?”

“… Eh?”

What Benia could see when he reflexively raised his head because he didn’t understand what she was saying was.

“From now on, I’ll teach you everything one by one♡”

It was Anise smiling, flicking her index finger with her tongue.
