The plan to recruit Agnes was successful.

Even though it’s only a short month, I have to capture her within that time.

The question is how to conquer her.

First of all, it would be best to quietly receive swordsmanship instruction and watch to see if there is an opportunity.

Squeak-

The door to the training ground opens and a beautiful blonde woman walks in.

Agnes, as seen in a portrait.

Her appearance on paper was beautiful, but she was even more beautiful in person.

A blonde, blue-eyed beauty.

Her elastic body, revealed after taking off her stuffy armor, was fascinating.

As she approaches step by step, a confident atmosphere emanates.

“Are you Eugene?”

“Yes, I am Eugene.”

“As you may have heard, my name is Agnes, who will be your swordsmanship instructor from now on.”

“Please take care of me for a month.”

Whether it will take a month or a year remains to be seen.

“I have been given full authority over matters related to the map, so from now on, treat me as your teacher.”

Are you trying to establish discipline right from the start?

I don’t have any particular complaints, but I feel a determination not to just let it slide.

“Yes, Master.”

“Let’s check your skills first.”

Srrrrung―

Agnes immediately drew her sword from its scabbard.

The restrained movements and postures are extraordinary.

I could feel that he was on a different level from the guys I had dealt with so far.

“Are we going to fight with real swords right away?”

“In real combat, you end up swinging a real sword.”

Agnes’ confident attitude.

This is something that only someone with a lot of experience in real life can do.

It looks like you’ve definitely picked a talented knight.

He pulled out the sword at his waist and aimed it at her.

“Attack first.”

I could sense absolute confidence from Agnes as she held the sword.

The confidence that I can block any attack.

Her appearance is full of challenging spirit.

“Then don’t worry.”

I swung my sword, pouring out as much mana as I could.

The refreshing sound of cutting through the air.

Agnes countered with a sharp movement.

Chaeng-!

A sharp sound echoes through the arena.

The result of the clash of swords was, surprisingly, my defeat.

My sword bounces off.

At the same time, his posture completely collapsed, so if this had been a real fight, he would have died.

“Strength and speed are great, but the posture is a mess.”

Agnes sheathed her sword and approached.

She came right up to me and asked me to swing my sword.

“Swing it again.”

WHEEK―!

A sharp sound cutting through the wind.

But Agnes looked dissatisfied.

“That’s some ignorant swordsmanship. It’s almost like a swordsmanship that aims to overwhelm with strength and speed.”

There really is no need for separate tongs.

Up until now, I had only swung my sword with the goal of suppressing them with strength and speed, but I was immediately seen through.

For a master swordsman like her, my swordsmanship must be crude and shallow.

“That’s correct.”

“That might be enough for low-quality opponents, but for experts, it’ll take their heads off in an instant.”

I’m glad I hired her.

I immediately noticed the part I was worried about.

“Let’s learn the basics first.”

Agnes showed me the pose first.

From cutting to stabbing.

I couldn’t help but be amazed by the restrained movements unique to the Kingdom’s swordsmanship.

“Try following along. I’ll correct any mistakes.”

Whoosh- whoosh-

I try my best to copy her movements, however clumsily.

“Here, lower your waist a little more··· ”

I could feel Agnes’s hands every time she corrected my posture.

Despite being a surprisingly skilled inspector, her hands were gentle.

I guess the way I strengthened my body with mana had an effect, but for me it was hard to keep the blood from rushing to my lower body.

“It’s a little better.”

The first swordsmanship lesson ended easily.

At first I thought she would be a pushover, but Agnes was the type to kindly teach me if I just tried hard.

“It’s all thanks to the excellent teacher.”

“Make sure to practice in your spare time outside of class time.”

Agnes leaves the training ground, refreshingly ignoring the compliments.

My first impression of her was that she was a confident yet stiff knight.

If I had to add something, it would be that he is surprisingly kind.

“Now the important thing is how to conquer her.”

A strong and beautiful knight is a romantic character, but in reality, she is difficult to conquer.

But the harder it is and the better the reward, the more it burns.

If you can’t conquer her, how will you conquer the princess who comes a month later?

Should I pretend to be a masseuse like before?

But given her stubborn personality, I don’t think it’ll work that way.

“Something··· I need something a little more.”

As I was racking my brain, Selena’s face flashed by.

power!

If Selena, a noblewoman, subtly pressured Agnes to get a massage, wouldn’t it be difficult for her to refuse?

If she knew about the decadent massage, she might refuse, but it’s unlikely that she, being old-fashioned and stiff, would know such a thing.

Before I knew it, my legs were running towards Selena.

If you have her watch over you while you are getting the massage, you can prevent any accidents.

Unless you’re a crazy knight, you wouldn’t be able to get away with it by a noble without any connections to back you up.

Especially when it comes to a stiff knight like her.

*****

“Are you telling me to get a massage?”

Agnes looked unusually bewildered by Selena’s sudden suggestion.

“Yes. It’s also good for beauty.”

Selena smiled and offered her a massage.

But there was something unsettling about Agnes.

Her sudden proposal and her somewhat ominous smile.

Agnes’s instincts were signaling her that it was right to refuse.

“Consider it a reward for your hard work getting here. Surely you wouldn’t refuse my sincerity, right?”

sex.

Agnes felt the weight of the word.

If he had been offered a job, he would have easily declined since even a knight has the right to refuse.

However, the offer, packaged in the name of ‘sincerity’, was difficult for her, a mere knight, to refuse.

“Okay.”

In the end, Agnes had no choice but to agree.

Her instincts were sending her unpleasant signals, but her reason decided that there would be no problem.

It was her mistake to be so focused on her usual training that she didn’t know much about the world.

“I’ve already asked the masseuse to prepare it for you, so come with me.”

I have already prepared it.

Agnes found those words even more unpleasant, but she could not resist Selena, who was a noblewoman, now that she had agreed.

Just follow her.

Crunch, crunch, crunch

When Agnes arrived at the annex and followed Selena into the room, what she saw was Eugene.

“What is this··· ”

“I guess you didn’t know. He’s not only my bodyguard, but also my masseuse.”

“That’s right, Master. I was originally a masseuse, but Selena saw my skills and hired me, so I’m doing two jobs.”

Agnes didn’t believe Eugene’s words at all, but she couldn’t refute them.

Because the noble Selena was agreeing with his words.

And that fact was well known and utilized not only by her but also by Selena and Eugene.

‘Is that possible?’

Agnes’s mind was beginning to feel cognitive dissonance at the thought that it was a flimsy lie, but she was unable to refute the situation.

‘His swordsmanship skills are ridiculously poor compared to his strength, perhaps because he lives in a unique environment.’

In reality, it was completely unrelated, but Agnes couldn’t accept the situation without rationalizing it.

“I see.”

“Then, Master. Please change your clothes before starting the massage.”

“Clothes··· Are you talking about that?”

“I put it in the partition, so go in and change.”

Agnes was almost forced into the compartment by Selena.

What she saw inside the partition was underwear.

“Selena. This is··· ”

“I’m going out wearing only those clothes because they’re wet from the oil.”

Selena’s calm speech was enough to confuse Agnes even more.

People often lose their normal judgment when they are confused.

Agnes was like that now.

‘Is it me who is strange?’

Eventually, she changed into her underwear and came out of the stall.

Agnes felt ashamed at the sight of her toned body being exposed, but she did not protest as she had lost her judgment.

‘That’s incredible.’

Eugene was inwardly amazed as he looked at Agnes’ body revealed without reservation.

Her healthy and beautiful body is more than enough to seduce men.

‘I could tell through the clothes, but seeing it in person makes me feel bad about covering it up.’

He kept his composure like Selena on the outside, while admiring her on the inside.

“Then lie down here.”

Agnes did as she was told and lay down on the table covered with soft material.

Lying down looking at the sky.

Eugene looked at her and thought of the ingredients waiting to be cooked on the cutting board.

“Finally, after using this, please enjoy a relaxing massage.”

What Eugene was holding in his hand was a blindfold.

Agnes felt uneasy about her vision being blocked.

“Do I have to wear it?”

Eugene almost lost his composure at the sight of her lack of confidence earlier, but fortunately, he was able to overcome the crisis thanks to Selena’s help.

“Don’t worry. I always wear it when I get a massage. Just put it on and sleep for a bit and it’ll all be over.”

Eventually, Agnes’s vision was blocked by Eugene’s blindfold.

In the midst of the confusion, his sense of anxiety grew as his vision was blocked, but Eugene was not one to miss it.

“Don’t worry, just relax and let yourself be in my hands.”

It sounded sweet to Agnes, like the devil’s whisper.
