Chapter 10: 10

In his head, Aris was already naked, lying underneath him, gasping for breath.

But Leon didn’t want to finish it with just this one shot, so he held on with his fists clenched to the point that his veins stood out.

“…… What kind of person did you like that Madame said that?”

Or did Madam just avoid it knowing that the store would disappear if she simply introduced gigolo?

Even if it wasn’t, Leon was curious about Aris’s taste.

Of course, he wondered if he might be close to her taste, but he was planning to kill the gigolos that fit her taste in advance.

Even if a man who fits Aris’s taste is a nobleman, he will have a “conversation” with them moderately, and he will make them run away even if they see her sister’s shadow.

“A person who looks a little sharper than Older Brother, and a little more compliant than you.”

None.

There is none.

He affirmed that, as far as he knows, no one will ever catch her eye.

That relieved his tension a bit.

In his opinion, there was no one in the Empire who could satisfy Aris’ eyes.

If he listened to the stories of noble girls and courtesans, when they name a handsome person, they only say the names of himself and his brother.

But he didn’t know if there was such a person outside the Empire.

Because the continent is wide and there are many people.

So, if he joined the war later, he thought that he would have to kill all the humans he thought were a little handsome.

Just in case his sister wants them.

If he couldn’t, he had to at least have them within his reach.

‘But a person who looks more compliant than me…….’

For the first time in his life, Leon was skeptical of his appearance.

He has never been dissatisfied with his appearance until now, as he was recognized as handsome by men as well as women.

However, Aris, who he really wants to look good for, wants a man who looks more compliant than him, so he can’t help but feel skeptical.

“Sister, what does it mean to look more compliant than me? What am I lacking?”

“You…….”

“Yes.”

“Not enough power.”

He didn’t understand what the relationship between ‘compliant’ and ‘strength’ was.

Besides, what is ‘power’?

If the knights under him knew, they would slap their hands as if it was nonsense.

He could not, however, ask the other knights to explain how powerful he was.

“Knights are usually just powerful, aren’t they? You don’t have it.”

“…… It’s because I’m kind only in front of you.”

“Oh, is it?”

Aris snorted as if he could do that.

Seeing that, Leonhard was a little choked up.

“You know that I am the commander of the Imperial Knights, right?”

“Yes.”

“You know that I’m a Sword Master, right?”

“Yes, yes.”

“I am very powerful!”

“That’s why you’re not powerful.”

“…….”

In response to Aris’ firm answer, Leon kept his mouth shut like a mute.

At the sight of Leon, which was no different than usual, Aris was blown away.

Although she had high expectations, Leon, as expected, was nothing more than her younger brother.

After all, spending the night with her younger brother like this would be absurd.

She doesn’t know if it’s her older brother who she can’t help but admire…….

She thought she would try writing to Evan again tomorrow.

Now, it seemed that there really was no one who deserved it other than her older brother.

She was initially reluctant to spend the night with her older brother, but after several failed attempts, she wanted to do it.

Just once.

I wanted to do it just once so that she could join in when talking with other people.

“I’m going to sleep. Good night Leon. Turn off the lights when you go.”

Leon caught Aris, who turned her body and headed to bed.

“Sister.”

“What?”

Leon grinned and grabbed her by the wrist and held her in his arms.

Surprised, Aris blinked her eyes and looked up at Leon.

Leon leaned over her body, placed his arms under her knees, and held her up.

Then he strode over and laid Aris on the bed.

Aris struggled to calm her pounding chest at Leon’s sudden action, but it was thwarted when Leon kissed her on the forehead.

“Good night.”

“Uhh, yes.”

Leon looked at her blushing face and heard her pounding heart.

It was worthwhile so that his sister would say he doesn’t lack power.

But he turned off the lamp next to her door and left the room because of his sister’s long habit.

After the door closed, Aris, who had regained her consciousness, muttered in a small voice.

“…… Should I have stopped him?”

Actually, Older Brother sent him to her, she should have pretended she couldn’t win and took him.

‘He had very strong arms……. That’s why there are ladies looking for knights.’

Aris thought about whether she should go out and call Leon right now.

It was kind of sad when he left.

Among the ladies who were married to knights, there were many opinions that knights are much better than gigolos.

They have different stamina.

‘It was to that extent a knight, how about a sword master!’

Knowing nothing had happened to Aris, Leon decided he was going to go to the night ball and get some drinks as originally planned.
