Chapter 225: Training Room and Knights

"*sigh*... Fine," The queen says, slightly surprising me as I thought she would keep pushing on. 

"Thank you very much, my lady-" 

"No, I wouldn't thank me as you're going to have a punishment tonight," The queen says in a cold tone with no mercy. 

Shit… Well, at least that's better than me giving away my identity. I can suffer a bit in order to follow through with my plan. 

I didn't respond but instead faked being sad while following the queen down the long hallway. 

"I already know you're faking it, so drop the terrible act... And this is our training room. Elisa! Dorna! Come here! I brought somebody to train with you!" The queen shouts into the circular training room with lots of vegetation and an open roof. 

The walls were made from white bricks, lathered in beautiful patterns making the dome-like arena look more like a museum, and the warriors who were sparring were the paintings and sculptures. 

FWOOSH 

Suddenly, two women appeared in front of the queen, and they immediately took a knee while saying, 

"We greet the queen," 

The first woman on the queen's right was clad in light white armor that almost made her look like an angel knight that descended from heaven. 

Her hair was a ghostly white that went to her waist. And that was paired perfectly with her clear white skin and gray pupils, which were filled with determination and loyalty. 

She was about 5'10, nearing 5'11, while the woman next to her was about 5'11, nearing 6 foot. 

And she wore clothing a bit more revealing than the woman on the left, such as dark green leather pants, a black bra which was the only thing covering her chest, and an unzipped green crop top jacket that seemed purely for aesthetic. 

Her hair was white with stripes of dark green and dark green eyes that almost represented the deepest parts of the jungle. Toned white skin matched perfectly with a random tattoo that crawled up the right side of her abdomen. 

There seemed to be no ideal shape to the black tattoo, but as it still looked cool, I just nodded my head in agreement. 

I just thought tattoos looked pretty cool, but the ones I have right now we're a bit extra for my body as they basically covered everything. 

I'm even surprised none of my tattoos reach my face. 

Finally, I inspected both of them and everybody in the room but didn't come up with anything significant enough to remember like always. 

"This girl will be joining you for training today, and if she stirs up any trouble, then inform me," The queen says, gesturing for the two women in front of her to stand up. 

"As you wish," They both respond in unison while standing up and placing their fists over their chests. 

"These are my two right-hand women, Elisa and Dorna. They will teach you how to protect me as I want you to become my fourth knight as Bridget has already become my third. And if you can't manage this and these two right here inform me that you have no talent in it, you are going to be sold immediately," The queen says with cold eyes that clearly looked down on me. 

"You fuck them at night?" I blurt out to judge the personalities of the two in front of me. 

The entire room went silent, and everybody turned their heads towards me with mixed emotions. Some had anger, and most were just confused at how I could say such a thing blatantly. 

"*sigh*... You're only adding to your punishment tonight," The queen says before walking off. 

As soon as the queen left the room, a sudden overwhelming wave of bloodlust assaulted me from every single knight in the room. 

The worst of them was definitely the two knights in front of me who had drawn their weapons. 

Elisa had a glowing white longsword with angelic wings, and Dorna held 2 curved black long blades lined with a glowing green stone. 

"That's a lot of bloodlust. That might've killed the ordinary person with all of this," I say as I tried to grab the seemingly tangible red aura that pounded down on me. 

"You better get your act together, and judging from how the queen spoke, it seems you're just a lowly slave given a slight chance, so you better respect her and us. If not, you will get sold off to the streets," Elisa says with a face crumpled in anger. 

"Now, follow us so we can teach you how to protect the queen when necessary-" 

"Wait, wait, wait, wait… Please answer this before we move on," I say, stopping Dorna mid-sentence. 

"Say it then," Dorna says while clearly annoyed by my interruption. 

"So do you fuck?" I ask with a whole-hearted smile. 

The wave of bloodlust, which had slowly dissipated, soon came crashing back even harder, making it a bit harder to breathe. 

Suddenly, a sword came down towards my face, and I barely blocked it with my new scythe, but it seems the scythe wasn't strong enough to withstand the strong sword, so the blade of my scythe had a massive dent in it. 

Looking up, I saw Elisa pushing her blades sword down on me, but with one full power swing, I sent her flying back until she quickly recovered with a backflip. 

"Hmmm… This is quite a problem. This was a gift from my lady, so she'd be mad if she saw this," I say, looking down at my nearly broken in half scythe.

"Apologize, and I'll fix it myself… I might even let this go and not tell her highness… only if you apologize, though," Dorna says. 

"And what do I have to apologize for?"

"For disrespecting all of us, and of course, I expect you to apologize to her highness once you meet her again," 

"You won't tell her?" 

"Maybe…" 

"Fine, I'm sorry… now fix it," 

"*sigh*... You are the most disrespectful slave I've ever seen," Dorna says before walking over to me and grabbing the blade of my scythe. 

She then pinched both sides of the broken part and then activated [Metal Manipulation] to squeeze the hole back and fill in the missing space, returning the scythe to normal. 

"Thanks," I say before twirling it a bit in between my fingers, slightly impressing everybody present. 

"Now, let's move onto practicing how to protect somebody in case of an emergency," Elisa says before walking over to what seemed to be a straw dummy made for practicing. 

This is going to be a long day… 

… 

It was currently the evening, and I worked up a pretty heavy sweat which was the same for everybody else present. 

We all sat on the dirt floor while polishing our weapons and picking up any straws of hay that we sent flying from our practice sessions… which was pretty standard if I had to say so myself. 

And I felt parts of the protection process were flawed, but I didn't really feel like teaching everybody, so I decided to fill in the holes myself. 

"Drink, it's good for you," Elisa says, handing me a small jar of light green liquid, which gave off a pleasant aroma. 

"It's poisoned, isn't it," I say, assuming the pleasant aroma was to prevent any chance of me catching a whiff of the poison sunk inside the jar. 

[Item - Jar of Healing and Growth Medicine]

[A small jar filled with a miracle-like liquid that helps with bodily recovery]

Oh, so it isn't poisoned. 

"Why would I poison the queen's own personal slave. She has never taken an interest in any slaves despite how many slave auctions she goes to, so I believe you're pretty special…." Elisa says as I grab the small jar from her hand and immediately down the contents. 

"She may be special, but she's still a brat," We all hear a familiar voice say from the entrance of the room.

Turning our heads, we all saw the queen standing there, leaning against the frame of the doorway. 

As soon as everybody saw her, they stood up and immediately straightened their posture while pounding their chest once with their fist. 

"All hail the queen!" Everybody shouts while I lick my lips after finishing the green liquid. 

The queen walks over to Elisa and Dorna, who were standing right next to each other, and I already knew what she was going to ask. 

"So, how was she today," 

"We greet your highness," They both say in unison before Elisa spoke by herself. 

"She was indeed how you described and was quite the trouble maker today and gave us a pretty hard time. But she indeed did have a talent for being your knight, but it's just her rude personality that gets in her way for a more rapid progression," 

"Y-you traitor. You said you would let it slide!" I shout while standing up. 

"That was Dorna who said that, plus it wouldn't even have mattered as you did multiple annoying and rebellious things afterward," Elisa says, shooting a slight smirk at me, which was clearly to taunt me. 

tsk

"*sigh*... Arpious, you know what that means, right?" 

"P-punishment?" 

"Indeed," 

Well... I guess I just need to survive and not lose myself... I have to keep my dignity, at least somehow...
