The Death Knight Became an Escort Knight for the Saintess

69…. I said that I was beautiful without even realizing it.

69.

Zerpied blinked once. The sharp sunlight stabbed his eyes. ‘Sunshine?’ It was morning. It was obviously late at night when he lay down on Ecilia’s lap. He barely thought he had blinked once, but when did it take so long?

“Whoa… Whoa….”

He heard soft breathing above his head. ‘Could it be that Esili has taken care of me from night to now?’

When I thought that, the saintess’ soft cheeks were buried towards Zerfied’s neck.

‘…… !’

Suddenly, when her saintess buried her face in the Death Knight’s neck, Zer Pied almost jumped up. It was when he was startled and tried to call her by name.

“Whoa…….”

A faint nasal breathing sound was heard. Ecilia was asleep. It was evident that she had been exhausted from taking care of herself all night and had gone to sleep. Zerfied cautiously but quickly got up. He had to quickly put Celia to her bed. Because now they were doing it on the floor.

…… Never, never, it wasn’t because the sweet, tickling feeling brought by her saintly breath, gently caressing her right next to her ear, was too strange.

Raising her body, he quickly picked up the saintess in her arms and lifted her up.

“Umm… ….”

Perhaps mistaking the raised arm for her pillow, Celia groaned in her sleep and wrapped her arms tightly around her.

-Gulp – .

She swallowed her saliva at the sight of it without realizing it. &QuotSwallowed her saliva?&Quot Zer Peied blinked her eyes once. He couldn’t understand what he was doing. ‘Why did I swallow?’

As he pondered with his eyes trembling, he realized that he had been holding Ecilia for quite some time. He felt her slight embarrassment and set her gently down on her bed.

At that time, the sunlight that was slithering down the side of her face faded. Zer Peed raised his head to his window and looked. The weather was still cloudy. Seeing that the windows rattled slightly, it seemed that there was some wind blowing. The sunlight that had just stroked his cheek seemed to have fortunately escaped through the curtain of clouds.

The overall scenery of Ferryburn was similar to Dales’ Alley Pier. Ships that are streamlined rather than massive and ready to depart at any time. Unlike the Dales, which had many sunny days, Perryburn seemed to be a city surrounded by clouds.

“…… Coke.”

At the sudden sound, Death Knight hurriedly turned her head in the direction of her sound. A blush appeared on the saintess’ face. ‘Flushing? Do you get flushed while sleeping? And the sound got louder.

“… Coke! … Coke!”

It wasn’t blush. Zerfied felt embarrassed and at the same time reached out his hand to Ecilia’s forehead. It was warm. Even with his dull sense of self, how hot could it be at this level of temperature?

Zerpied suddenly thought that this was the southernmost city of the Eastern Continent.

… Their original Impeller was a town located in the center of the continent. That long distance was covered in a few hours. How fast should I run? Even on a rainy night.

Jer Pied realized that his memory of entering the city was also vague. The only thing he remembers is Celia’s back as she wanders the streets diligently. Even then, the rain was pouring down with strong winds. The last memory of yesterday was of Esilia tending to her, with herself lying on her lap.

Death Knight’s hands began to tremble.

The saintess did just that. While she herself was haunted by her old memories, she was left in a torrential rain at breakneck speed, and she sought an inn to rest in the rain in a city she had never known before. And she took care of herself even though she couldn’t even get a proper rest.

Esilia did just that. But what about me? She made her sick

‘…… I, I made it sick.’

It was a joke that wasn’t even funny. She herself was now her escort knight.

But she made her sick. Using her lowly excuses of being haunted by her old memories as a shield, he left her in the rain and wandered around the city she first came to.

Involuntarily, the brow furrowed. He felt angry. He was angry with himself. His anger at the gangsters who had insulted Lady the previous day was now directed at himself.

“… Coke… !”

At the sound of coughing again, Death Knight was awakened. He hurriedly asked the saintess.

“Esilia? Are you okay?”

“Haa… ha… ….”

However, the saintess only let out her rough breath. The degree to which her body went up and down became worse than before. Jer Peed jumped up as she was examining her. It wasn’t time for her to be like this. I need to get some medicine right now.

The Death Knight, who hurriedly opened the door and tried to leave, remembered that Celia was alone when she finally left, and let her voiceless words permeate the shadows in her room. After preparing his defenses, he hurriedly went downstairs to the reception desk.

The middle-aged innkeeper was yawning profusely. So when a hand came down with a thump from her upstairs, she was taken aback.

“Surprised, how are you doing today?”

“… Today?”

“Okay, today. Yesterday, even though I didn’t expect to see you, you stayed there blankly as if you had seen someone? You didn’t say a word and stayed like a corpse, so I wondered where you were sick. Thanks to the girl who came with me. It rained yesterday, so we didn’t have enough towels, but he paid a high price to take them because he needed to wipe you.”

Hearing the owner woman’s words, Zer Pied was taken aback by her hazy memories. ‘My God, then did I leave it to Celia to dry myself?’ But after a while, Zer Pied brought out his original purpose.

“Maybe… Where is the nearest infirmary from here?”

“A clinic? Lawmaker? It’s better to go to the Cathedral of Glory in the center of the city than to the councilor…….”

“No. I need an infirmary.”

“Uh… There is a clinic near here at the end of the west pier, but today…….”

“I will come back, so please prepare one soup.”

Before I could hear the words, the Death Knight spurred the door. The innkeeper blinked at the silver coins lying on the reception desk.

“No… This is silver… What kind of silver coin is it for one soup……. Besides, the door wasn’t open today….”

Zerpied ran frantically toward the end of the western pier. Strangely, she saw no one on the street, but she didn’t even catch her eye on him. It soon became clear why there were so few people. The rain that started in one or two streams hit hard.

The water covered his vision. Soggy dampness gripped her feet. It was not very important to him. In the blurry vision, the sign of the councilor caught my eye. He knocked on the door.

-Thumping!

“… Who? Closed today….”

As soon as he opened the door, the old orc councilor blinked at the large man who was shaking his body. Water dripped from the man’s body. Before she could say anything, her man’s words came crashing in.

“I want to buy some medicine for a cold.”

“Go, cold? That… Today I closed….”

Overwhelmed by the rude man, the councilor hurried to close the door. But the man’s foot got in between the cracks in the door.

“I’ll pay as much as I can.”

At the words of the man who fell low, the lawmaker had no choice but to open the door.

“No… That, the ashes of the medicine, there are no ingredients… Because of the heavy rain, the ingredients for today did not arrive….”

“Where are you?”

“… Yes?”

“Where is the material?”

The Senator doesn’t know why, but he felt like he was about to be strangled if he answered incorrectly. Even with his stutter he told me where the ingredients were. As soon as he heard it, the man ran out again without answering.

On this day, the merchants who supplied the ingredients for the medicine had a strange experience. A large man soaked in rain suddenly appeared in front of my eyes and called the name of the ingredients without saying a word.

Oddly enough, the merchants felt like they were being threatened, and they rushed to show him the ingredients. Of course, it turned out to be a good thing. Because there was no supply of materials. They were satisfied that the deal went well anyway, and that the materials were handed over at a cheap price.

Twenty minutes had passed since the man appeared in front of the councilor. It was hard to believe that he had brought the materials scattered all over the West Pier in such a short time. However, the wet man’s body was proving it. He put the ingredients on the floor and said.

“Make it.”

Feeling similar to the merchants, the councilor hurriedly nodded. However, the man did not move even once while making the medicine, and the doctor thought he would be crushed to death.

“Here I am…” ….”

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the congressman said.

“Be sure to feed it after a meal, and make sure to swallow it until the end. After a day, there will be a remission…….”

The man had already taken the medicine and left. And, looking at the high purity silver coins rolling on the table, he seriously doubted that the demand for instant cold medicine was not keeping up with the supply at all.

As soon as he returned to the inn, Jer Pied took the soup in front of him and went upstairs. I feel sorry for the innkeeper who is staring blankly at him, but he is not the object of his interest at the moment.

Esilia’s body was still like a ball of fire. Sweat was beading on her forehead. He spooned the soup he had brought and brought it to her lips. Slowly and carefully. Ecilia couldn’t even open her eyes properly.

He had to prop her back and put the soup into her mouth. She was more about pouring the soup into her mouth than eating it. So was the medicine. In fact, it was as if he was doing all the movements for her except for what her body was accepting.

It took a lot of time, but his eyes were firm as he watched Ecilia.

Having finished her medicine, he put Esilia back on her bed.

As soon as he reached her soft bed, Esilia wrapped her arms around Zerpie Ed’s tighter, as if the feeling of her warmth was good. If that was all, Death Knight wouldn’t have been embarrassed. Because I experienced it before I left.

“Huh… ….”

-Molkan – !

But the saintess started rubbing her soft cheeks against the Death Knight’s forearm. Her cheeks were soft enough even with his insensitive senses. In the end, the Death Knight had to swallow his saliva again, just like before he left. And this time she had to be surprised by that fact.

It has already lost its meaning, and for him now, it’s just a habit engraved in his memory, as if he’s simply ruminating on memories of the past. There are no physical effects caused by this. Because he’s not alive now.

… But why the hell am I swallowing so much saliva today?

‘It’s soft.’

That was my first thought. Her cheeks touching her own forearm were soft. Her breath went up and down. Her body as she descended was small and delicate. Her face is small her lips are small Her nose is also small. Her arms are thin

Compared to him, her eyes are surprisingly large. Her flowing, long, platinum-colored hair is soft enough to slip between her own fingers.

She is short, but her legs are on the long side. Her legs are long and her torso is short, so she looks even more amazing. In particular, her long legs draw attention without knowing why. Is it because it doesn’t fit the small stature?

“Hmmmm… ….”

As the saintess moved her body while sleeping, the Death Knight moved her head blankly. Her mouth was slightly open as if she were eating something tasty in her dream, and her saintess was licking her lips with her tongue.

With the slightest movement of her pink, her crimson-colored lips shimmer. Her tongue, adorned with her light, licked her lips once more as if savoring them.

-Chewup – .

Correspondingly, her silvery white thin line connects stickyly to her lips…….

‘…… !!’

Realizing what she was looking at, Zer Pied hurriedly turned her gaze elsewhere. She was meaningless To nurse her, she had to see her again. Eventually he bit her lip and held her in his sights.

Then, as in her morning, a ray of sunlight that escaped from her clouds descended upon her… ….

He opened his mouth involuntarily.

“…… It is beautiful.”

‘What did I say? Is it beautiful?’

He hadn’t even grasped the meaning of what he had just said.

The saintess’ eyes widened.

Death Knight blinked her eyes wildly. Could it be that she just heard what she said? She couldn’t know Because the saintess just smiled. The Death Knight, who had been watching it blankly, finally opened her mouth.

“Esilia? How are you, your body is fine…….”

“I’m a knight… ….”

The saintess smiled.

“The knights are cool too… ….”

He didn’t know that he would have such poor language skills. When he barely understood what Ecilia had said, Ecilia let out a soft breath and fell asleep.

“Hmmmm… ….”

A smile hung on the corner of the saintess’s mouth.

And only then did Zer Pied notice that he was stroking Esilia’s hair.
