Chapter 155: I Knew You Were Here Having An Affair Behind My Back!

Chapter 155: I Knew You Were Here Having An Affair Behind My Back!

Thinking of this, Ocris bit her lip. She felt conflicted.

She could never be with him. But she also wanted Louis to follow her. To stay by her side, running errands and doing things for her, yet they had to keep some distance. Making him her knight was a good decision.

A knight with status could serve as a witness, overseeing the oath of a new knight.

A lord could also do it. She could, in her capacity as lord, knight Louis. There was nothing wrong with that. After Louis became Yingling’s husband, he would still be her knight and vassal.

After thinking for a long time, Ocris looked up.

Then, Ocris turned a serious face towards Louis, only to find that he had somehow already knelt on one knee before her.

Ocris felt a surge of excitement, thinking Louis and she were still very much in tune—she quickly stood up, picked up a small scepter beside her seat, and with a solemn face, she gestured with the scepter over Louis’s shoulders and head for a while, rambling on with a long speech.

As she spoke, Ocris felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

The two of them were destined to keep their distance in the future. She knew his heart, and she felt deeply hurt and regretful. He must feel the same, right?

But such was fate. Since he had already ended up with Yingling, she couldn’t just barge in.

Of course, otherwise, the two of them would be impossible anyway.

Lost in her wandering thoughts, Ocris suddenly felt a pair of warm, large hands caressing her calf. Surprised, she looked down and saw Louis, his eyes red, stroking her calf. Ocris was so startled she quickly stepped back, accidentally sitting down on the throne.

She straightened up, intending to scold him, but the words caught in her throat as another wave of sadness hit her—he must have many things he wanted to say too, right? But perhaps he was too emotional, and his actions were too rash.

She wouldn’t blame him. She would pretend this never happened and tell him to go back quickly and calm down. If he started crying or saying things he shouldn’t in front of her, it would be awkward when they met later.

Ocris put on a very proper demeanor, adopting an attitude that there was distance between them.

“Louis, now that you have become my knight, you must strictly adhere to…” At this point, Ocris paused slightly, remembering that Louis hadn’t actually sworn an oath. Oh well, never mind: “Louis, why haven’t you stood up yet?”

The princess’s knight suddenly lifted his head. His red eyes, which had already been smoldering during the princess’s rambling, now blazed with intense fire.

“I can be your knight,” Louis said with red eyes, a gentle smile on his face, but that smile made Ocris feel a little afraid. “But Your Highness, shouldn’t you bestow something upon me?”

‘He’s really going to confess to me, isn’t he?!’

A flicker of conflict crossed Ocris’s face. She looked into Louis’s fervent eyes and ‘knew’ what was in his heart… but, we were impossible.

The princess on the throne proudly raised her chin. “Speak. My knight, what do you want?”

“You also need to bestow upon me a steed.”

“A steed?” Ocris was taken aback, feeling it was indeed reasonable. “What kind do you want… ??? What are you doing! Louis!”

Before Ocris could finish, she felt Louis begin to stroke her foot.

“Just checking,” Louis said gently, kissing her calf before leaning closer with a smile.

Ocris’s mind went blank. At that moment, she knew nothing. Seeing Louis’s face drawing near, she panicked and pushed him away, putting on a stern face and scolding loudly, “How dare you! Please show some respect!”

Right after she spoke, she felt herself being pushed back into the seat. Then she felt Louis press against her neck.

“Don’t do this…”

A fiery breath, like Dragon Breath, blew from the knight’s nose onto the princess’s face. Seeing that handsome face so close, feeling those warm hands on her body, Ocris was utterly shocked.

She knew this guy was recklessly bold. Just like in her dreams, this lowlife…

[But this is a love with no future…]

The scorching breath burned Ocris’s neck and collarbone. Her own breathing gradually grew heavier.

“Don’t do this, let me go… We can’t be together… We, we… There’s no future…”

Ocris couldn’t help but turn her head away, closing her eyes heartbrokenly. “I know what you want to say, but you have your beloved, and I am destined to marry far away. Forget me, we’re impossible…”

A hand lifted Ocris’s chin. She opened her eyes, met that burning gaze, and knew he must be unwilling to give up, wanting to say something.

A tear traced its way down Ocris’s cheek. She closed her eyes, waiting for Louis’s words—it’s no use trying to persuade me.

“Teacher, thank you for introducing me to my girlfriend—but I still want you to be my concubine.”

“Wha—what?” Ocris’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Con—concubine?!”

“Come on now, brother-in-law will take good care of you.”

“Bro—brother-in-law?!” Ocris was stunned. “Louis! You are so vulgar! Aren’t you ashamed?!”

“You promised you’d examine me tonight!”

“Ex—examine you?” Ocris was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly remembered Louis had been complaining about leg pain. She reached down, her face flushed bright red, and her eyes couldn’t help but widen.

This vulgar wretch!

Warm lips met Ocris’s red lips. Ocris wanted to push against Louis’s chest, but her strength seemed to fade into feeble scratching, which filled her with fear and panic.

[How will I face Yingling…]

[I’m sorry…]

After the deep kiss, looking into Louis’s blazing gaze, Ocris’s face was flushed scarlet. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something. Then she felt her low-cut evening gown being pulled down in one swift motion.

At that moment, the thousand unspoken words long buried in her heart suddenly broke free. In that instant, she forgot everything she was going to say.

[Oh heavens… I’ve finally… had an affair with my student…]

Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open. A person in knight’s attire, very tall in stature, strode in on long legs, drunkenly carrying a wine bottle.

【Unexpected Person +1】

【Who knows how much alcohol this dragon guzzled tonight!】

【She seems to have entered her Mating Season… Be careful, this is her first time entering it. She is incredibly dangerous right now. Emotion far outweighs reason.】

Louis sobered up considerably in an instant. He and Ocris exchanged a glance, and both hastily turned around in a fluster, straightening their clothes and her dress.

“Just as I thought, I knew you were here having an affair behind my back!” Annabel said drunkenly, taking a swig of wine and pointing at Louis with tears in her eyes. “He isn’t worthy of being your knight. Without the Son of Lant and Magic Scrolls, he is nothing.”

“???”

Today, she saw Annabel looking at Ign with that kind of gaze, right? She thought the King was a man, right?

What is she here for?

To vent anger on behalf of her brother?

Louis, who was buttoning up his shirt, blinked. Then he heard a jumbled mess of a confession. Dazedly, he turned his head to see Annabel kneeling before a very embarrassed Ocris, holding her hand and babbling drunken nonsense.

Louis’s eyes widened. He stared blankly at the two princesses.

“…You know… (sob) You know how much I love you… (rambling narrative) Back then, the moment my seven Yordle Dragonborn Iron Guards found you… When I saw you then, I knew… I knew it was you…”

“You kissed me… broke my Curse…” The Black Dragon Princess wept uncontrollably. “I knew it was you…”

“Come with me, Ocris… Your long, beautiful horns, your red scales, they still haunt my dreams to this day…”

Huh?!

HUH?!!

【Although during Mating Season, dragons might even… with rocks… It seems Annabel’s feelings for Ocris might be genuine…】

A sudden clap of thunder outside struck Louis’s mind. He abruptly remembered the previous arguments Crowley and the others had.

Louis stared blankly at Ocris and Annabel.

Holy crap! This is all too messed up!

Your elder sister became a child bride, and now you’re showing me stories about the Black Dragon girl and you—what on earth is going on with your family?!

I’m so confused!

This is way too intense!

Ocris, oh Ocris, what kind of constitution do you have that everyone around you is this kind of, this kind of silver!

Louis pricked up his ears to continue listening.

“Annabel, I only see you as my close friend…” Ocris said with a conflicted expression. “You should marry a Prince, not…”

“No! I love you! (Sobbing loudly).”

“Why are you like this to me (sob), it’s been seven years… Why are you still like this to me…”

“Please, come with me… I’m willing to give up everything for you (sob)… Come with me to Dragon Nest City, ignore the eyes of the world. My grandfather has already agreed (sob)…”

Holy crap!

I’m about to be moved to tears here!

Ocris! Just agree to be with her already!

Over here, the Black Dragon Princess, crying and sobbing, had taken Ocris’s hand and was trying to kiss it.

Ocris hastily pulled her hand back. Seeing this made Louis’s heart twinge painfully, as if stabbed.

He suddenly couldn’t take it anymore. He glared at Ocris.

Your Highness the Princess!

I have to say something to you!

You’ve gone too far!

How can you bear to do this?

How can you bear to hurt her like this?

Ocris: “???”
