chapter 245
245 – Scene 245# Lick
*
As soon as Blanche felt the touch on her calf, she froze as ice.
At first she thought she had just touched it by mistake.
The carriage was so narrow that she had no choice but to bump her legs against each other.
However, she could never say that this feeling of rubbing her calf was a mistake.
Blanchet glanced at the person in front of her.
Wendy makes an ecstatic expression while eating a cupcake. It’s definitely not that girl’s feet.
In that case, even if I tell you who the culprit is, it will only hurt my mouth.
The man sitting next to Wendy… It’s Tristan’s doing.
Blanche tried to act calm and took a bite of her cupcake with her teaspoon.
Tristan looked just as calm as Blanche. It made me wonder if this was really happening under the table.
‘How… ? Why…? Why…?’
Blanchet was confused.
She honestly wasn’t sure what to make of his actions of her.
If she were a normal woman she might have taken this situation more naturally, but Blanche was never that kind of person.
From the count’s assassin to the duke’s bodyguard, her life was different from that of an ordinary woman. Therefore, an encounter between a man and a woman… She had no choice but to be ignorant to the level of a child about so-called ‘love.’
She was also hopeless and had no one to learn from by looking at the relationships of ‘ordinary’ women around her.
Bella, whom he serves closest, is the daughter of a duke and has a striking appearance that even men find difficult to describe. She is far removed from the ordinary. She can never be considered on the same level as Blanche.
I felt like I was breaking into a cold sweat. All I could think about was arrogance.
Not having anyone around to compare made Blanche nervous.
Is the Count flirting with me? No… Why me all of a sudden? But the Count must have Lady Bella…
“Bella.”
At that time, Tristan’s mouth opened.
“Why?”
“What should I do to hand over Blanchet?”
“Hmm. “I don’t know?”
“Operationally speaking, Blanchet is better suited to the detachment under my command.”
“Then who will escort me while Blanchet is in her separate unit?”
Bella grinned like a playful cat and took a bite of her cupcake. Tristan did not react in any way to the provocation.
However, under the table, his toes were gently stroking Blanche’s calf.
Blanchet was at a loss for what to do with that strange gesture.
There’s a young lady in front of me, so please stop doing this horrible thing… I wanted to say it, but of course I couldn’t. Blanchet, who could not sit still like this, pushed his legs away with her feet.
With a clear refusal.
‘What?!’
But the more it happened, the more persistent Tristan became.
As if to show who had the upper hand her her her, he used only his her feet her her her to tease Blanche’s legs her her her her.
Blanchet was helpless. She was so good at it that it almost felt like Tristan was groping her legs with her hands her her her. She deeply regretted that she had come with bare legs, but it was already too late.
“Shouldn’t you protect me?”
“You are strong enough. And the soldiers given to you are not decoration.”
“I’m sad. “Why would the Count say such outrageous things to a weak woman?”
“Compared to you, the soldiers can be seen as weaker.”
“… What does it mean?”
“It’s literally like that.”
I thought it was amazing again.
Even while arguing with Bella, Tristan was gently groping Blanche’s leg without changing her expression.
‘Shameless…’
Blanche resisted the feeling that her face would brighten up. Controlling her emotions is something she is confident about as an assassin.
However, the man in front of me was by no means an easy opponent.
“Do you want Blanche that much? Count.”
“Okay.”
“?!”
Blanchet felt uncomfortable for no reason.
The current conversation was about whether or not to put Blanchet in her special unit, but I guess that was because she was making strange movements under the table.
She kept sounding different to her.
“She wants her.” Or “It is absolutely necessary.” The more I heard the same thing, the more strange I felt.
Blanche, who could not just sit back and listen to his remarks, decided to strike back.
‘No more… I can’t stand it.’
Her bare feet her stretched out towards his her ankles her her her her. And then she started tickling his her bare skin her her her hidden under his her pants her her her.
‘Count… ‘Try it yourself.’
Although I was clumsy, I imitated Tristan’s actions and gently rubbed his legs his with my toes.
This is by no means an attempt to seduce him. I’m just paying back what was done to me.
She teased her legs as she pleased, so now it was her turn to tease.
“…”
Tristan hesitated at Blanche’s sudden change in attitude
I gathered that momentum and stuck my foot into his pants. Then I felt the muscles of his legs through his toes.
Even just by touching it, I could tell how much it had been trained.
Blanche was wiggling his her toes her her her, assessing Tristan’s her legs her her her in his her head her her her.
I even pinched his toes her for no reason.
‘This is a man’s body… Huh?!’
Blanche, realizing that she had been preoccupied without realizing it, quickly withdrew her foot.
My heart was beating fast. Her heart, which had the cold heart of a monster, became hot.
“… No matter what we say, Blanchet’s will she is the most important. Isn’t that right?”
“…”
“Blanchet?”
“Ah?! Yes? Yeah… ! “Yes.”
“Are you okay?”
“Sorry. Miss. I took a moment to think…”
“Hmm… ? Well, I like it. So what do you think about Blanche?”
“Yes? What are your thoughts… ?”
“The Count and I both want Blanche. Do you want to go to the Count? Or do you want to stay with me?”
“Ah…”
After hearing that, I roughly understood what the situation was. It seemed that the difference between the two people’s positions had not been narrowed.
In the end, the choice fell to Blanchet.
Bella was smiling as if she was confident.
Blanchet could guess the meaning contained in that smile. He is confident that Blanche, the escort driver, will take Bella’s side
The answer had already been decided to remain with Bella.
Blanchet had no intention of betraying her master. Not only was he a guard knight, but he also had a past where he was saved by Bella.
It doesn’t matter what he thinks.
Lady Bella’s thoughts are that she is her own.
That’s what she thought…
Something today… A strange courage welled up.
“I am…”
Blanche opened her mouth in front of everyone.
“I serve Lady Bella. No matter what happens, she must share her fate with the young lady.”
“Hehe…”
“However…”
“?”
Blanche held her breath and spoke the words.
“If the Count wants me… I can’t do it at all… “I’m not going to help you.”
“Blanchet?”
No way… Bella makes an expression.
But this is not betrayal.
All we have to do is suggest a method that will satisfy ‘everyone’.
“I think it would be a good idea for the Count to use Lady Bella’s unit as a model.”
“As you saw?”
“Yes.”
In response to the Count’s question, Blanche calmly continued her explanation.
“I think the Count needs a main force to use as a base since he is the overall commander. “If the Count moves between multiple units without the main unit, the soldiers may become confused.”
“Hmm…”
“And… If the Count takes your unit as a model, I will be able to help you both.”
Blanche made such a suggestion because she knew that Bella wanted to keep Tristan close to her.
And the two people nodded in approval at her suggestion.
“Indeed… It’s a reasonable suggestion.”
“What… “If that’s the case, I think it’ll be okay.”
“Thank goodness.”
Blanchet smiled awkwardly.
This, she reminded herself, was not for herself, but for Miss Bella.

I thought it ended well, but there was still something left.
When we arrived at the rest area, Wendy, Blanche, and I were about to get out of the carriage, but Bella stretched out her long legs and blocked the door.
“Where are you going?”
“…”
Bella’s expression was unusual.
It’s probably because of what happened under the table.
Stuck, I had no choice but to remain in the carriage with Bella.
Unable to bear the awkwardness, I took a sip of the already cold tea.
“Why is the man so clueless?”
“… What do you mean?”
“Don’t pretend not to know. “I think I bought it purely because of Blanche.”
Bella glared at me with her extremely upset face. She has a cute but harsh expression that is completely different from her external image
I knew that it was only visible in front of me.
I said with a sigh.
“Bella. This is a battlefield. It is a dangerous place where you never know when a battle might break out. Be a little more tense.”
“I know. At least it’s dangerous. But you too…”
“Me too?”
“You too. “It’s dangerous.”
At that moment, Bella and her her eyes met her.
Snow like a blue lake nestled in a snow-covered forest contained me.
“Am I weird? “I just want to have someone I care about by my side.”
“… No.”
The battle hasn’t been taken yet, but the battlefield is a battlefield anyway.
Bella was worried and she wanted to be close to me somehow.
We cannot dare to dismiss that feeling as strange.
But that didn’t mean I didn’t have anything to say.
Their roles were too different for Bella to be together as she wanted. Moreover, I have to move my special forces and prepare to become the Demon King.
Now that we arrive in the north, things get busier. So it was very difficult to listen to Bella’s request
If Blanche had n’t come up with her clever idea, I might have had a hard time appreciating Bella’s feelings throughout the expedition.
I am once again grateful to Blanche.
“What are you thinking? Thinking of another woman?”
It stung.
This is the level of mind-reading.
“Joy… “Just look at me.”
“… “When you say that, I actually don’t want to look at you.”
“What?”
Bella raised her body and turned towards me as if questioning.
“Count, do you know that you monopolize my affection?”
“I didn’t know that.”
“I can’t thank you enough… Ah! “Do you want me to look at you?”
I barely avoid eye contact.
I’m afraid I’ll want to keep looking at her fascinating face. That’s because her pouty reaction she was so cute.
I guess it’s because I used her her unit her her as my her base her her her her, so there’s a chance I can see her her face her her.
Bella’s attitude had also changed to a less grumpy one than before. Of course she said she was less picky, not that she was picky.
“Bad quality… When they made me wear an embarrassing bunny suit, they just looked at me well…”
“You know what to wear-“
“You don’t even notice! How can I embarrass you too?!”
“What?”
Bella puts her hand under the table and she feels something squirming.
Then she put her legs up on the table.
“Lick it.”
Bella’s feet were in front of her after she took off her shoes.
“Have you tried licking my feet? Then I will think about whether to forgive you or not.”
“Who asked you to forgive? Besides, don’t put her dirty feet on the table.”
“It’s not dirty, right? Or did you lick it to see if it was dirty?”
“Friendly…”
“Because you made me frivolous? Take responsibility.”
Bella, giggling like her little devil, tapped her foot.
After playing around like that under the table, is he trying to play with her feet again?
I was sick of it, but the moment I saw her feet, I muttered without even realizing it.
“… “You’re not barefoot.”
“Yes?”
Bella was wearing black winter tights on her outstretched feet.
Soon I realized that I had made a huge mistake.
