Interested in the One-Eyed Female General So I Joined the White Wolf Knight Order, but It Turned into a Harem?! - Chapter 50

Chapter 50

Chapter 50

It was nothing like an ordinary day . That day was the time Elize was told, “I’ll leave Maruto’s well being to you” and was also the day Elize finally pledged an oath to him . A promise that she’ll always protect him .

Elize had been staying near while Maruto was doing his usual duties . She had kept her mouth closed for almost half a day fearing that she’ll disturb him . The sunshine went through the window and made Maruto’s blond hair as if it was sparkling .

This man called Maruto seemed to be a chronic weirdo .

Even to the men of the Fuhren Holy Knights, he kept smiling and, though he raised his voice sometimes, Maruto never once broke his smile . Sending the other party off, he rose from his seat, seemingly in thought while the smile remained on his face .

His face simply oozed with kindness . Maruto seemed to release a fragrance that let others’ mind relax . It’s hard to describe it, but he smelled like the sweet scent of a beautiful flower growing in an open field… . it’s that kind of fragrance that tickles your nostrils .

Maruto breathed out loud as he cleaned up the documents on the desk then leaned back on his chair .

[Sigh- . Finally today’s work is over~]

He said as he stretched his hand upward . It seemed that he had accumulated some fatigue .

However, there were actually some documents left piling up on his desk . Anyone could see that some of these documents had never been touched at all .

But since Elize had been watching him working, from the beginning and up to now . So it’s impossible for her to not know . She then said while eyeing on the documents .

[… . it isn’t finished yet . ]

[… . No…I had enough――――――]

[Ortashia has told me not to let you off until it’s finished . ]

[Fuhahaha… . aren’t you my escort? Since when…did you suddenly become my supervisor… . ?]

Elize had been personally requested by Ortashia . She was to keep an eye on Maruto . Of course, other than regular escort work, there is also a hidden meaning to it . And that is to prevent Maruto from ditching his work .

That’s why, she had been keeping him in the White Wolf Knights base . Unless something special happened, Elize was responsible for not letting Maruto leave the office .

Recently Ortashia was worried over the the assassination attempt on Maruto, especially since the guy in question has a non-existent sense of crisis . Back then, it was her who commanded the White Wolf Knights to escort Maruto on a daily basis .

If Maruto even got a small scratch on his cheek, the knight in charge of escorting him that day will be punished severely as if they are in hell . Basically all kinds of terrible experiences .

That’s why everyone sharpened their senses and remained vigilant . Nothing will be allowed to happen to Maruto .

Presently, the White Wolf Knights will patrol the peripheral of their headquarters while Maruto’s deputies will be on standby at the hall .

With this, there’s bound to be a shortage of men that can be sent on missions .

But no one complained . One can’t consider themselves a knight if one can’t ensure the security of others after all . You can say that knights are actually a bunch of overprotective people in a way . But Maruto loves freedom so this appeared to be boring for him . He’s not one to be locked up in the office for a long time .

Elize didn’t even leave his side when he went to the restroom . She did turn her face away, but she didn’t leave his side . This is kinda… he wanted to complain but can’t really say it in the end .

It had become inconvenient for him to do whatever he wanted to do .

She even followed him to the bathhouse… . . Normal girls would be blushing tremendously, but she didn’t . Elize was quite used to many kinds of assassination, so she doesn’t mind seeing a naked body . She looked at him with traces of interest instead . There is really no concept of ‘shy’ for this girl .

[Haー I’ve had enough… . Every single day, like this… . ]

Again, Maruto let out a huge sigh . The silver eyes still locked on to him

Maruto laughed uncomfortably from being watched like that . He then glanced at Elize . Maruto merely wanted to say that he wanted to go home since it’s already late, but it’s as if he was looking at the depth of underworld . Elize was unresponsive and simply stared back .

The answer was silence . She didn’t even bother to talk about it? Maruto drooped his head down at her gaze .

[… . Fine . Fine . I get it! I get it! I just need to work, right!? Right!!]

He said it as if it was a devil’s word .

[Nn, that’ll do . ]

The reply was said in an emotionless voice . Maruto sighed once more and picked back the quill . He then started signing the remaining documents .

After some time had passed, Maruto’s hand stopped moving . There was still half of the documents left .

Wondering what’s wrong, Elize took a peek of the documents Maruto had worked on from behind . Apparently he didn’t make any mistake .

However, the worry still lingered . The usual smile was gone, Maruto had an unusually dark expression on his face . Elize decided to ask why he had such a face .

[… . what’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?]]

Maruto shook his head .

[… . . do you still remember? What we talked about on that day . ]

[What do you mean?]

[Ah, the day when I solicited you into the knight order . ]

[Nn, I remember… . why?]

Elize tilted her head . Why he suddenly brought that up, she stared at him with such a look . Maruto then started talking with a distant look .

[… . . anyways, back then, you told me, didn’t you? That you you can kill me painlessly . ]

[I did . ]

A short pause later, Maruto finally opened his mouth, and said with trembling lips .

[… . . that, what you said… . . is it really true?]
