“Does it not suit me?”

Ella Sein averted her gaze at Jeong Yu-shin’s question.

Why.

He simply changed his clothes, but how can a person’s face shine this much?

Until now, Ska’s attire was mostly simple.

A loose tunic and cotton pants.

He wore a longsword and belt around his waist.

It wasn’t bad.

His sharp neckline and thick chest muscles were subtly visible through the loose tunic.

The wild scent of a male’s sweat faintly brushed past her nose.

Attractive.

But not as much as this appearance.

Ska’s black hair went well with the white lion leather mantle.

Moreover, there was an inexplicable charm.

If I had to say.

A streak of wildness hidden within a noble appearance.

It was armor that even the offspring of highly regarded noble families had difficulty pulling off properly.

But this mixed-blood barbarian brought out the strengths of this armor with his handsome face and powerful physique.

It was as if the armor was made for this man.

“Not bad.”

Ella Sein said, averting her gaze.

Her heart was pounding.

How should I explain this feeling?

As I watched Ska obediently standing there wearing the armor according to my command.

It felt like I had tamed a proud beast that didn’t bow its head, and my lower abdomen tightened.

The escorts were surprised for similar but different reasons.

That white lion armor is equipment only worn by male escort captains. This means that ordinary escorts cannot wear that armor.

They realized that the Queen cherished that mixed-blood barbarian more than they thought.

“Oh, it suits him incredibly well.”

A twin-tail elf woman muttered softly.

An elf with blue hair, the daughter of Mistwood, wore a worried expression.

“By the way, I’m worried. The entire escort team is female, so where will Ska-nim live…?”

“…”

A moment of silence passed.

Gulp.

Someone swallowed hard.

“S, Ska-nim is new, so maybe he needs new recruit training.”

“Who’s in charge of new recruits?”

The escorts began to talk quietly.

Mistwood’s daughter sighed softly and put her hand on her cheek.

“Hoo. Oh, well, I can’t help it. I’ll take charge of the training.”

“…”

The elf escorts glared at Mistwood’s daughter.

“Ahem!”

A heavy cough echoed. The escorts quickly turned their heads. Selenis was glaring with a fierce look.

The escorts flinched and straightened their posture.

“Ska will continue to stay by the Queen’s side. And Ska’s quarters are right next to the Queen’s room and he will live with me, so the escorts shouldn’t expect anything.”

“…Yes.”

Some gave dissatisfied glances.

They didn’t show it, but they couldn’t help but notice it by looking at the escort captain’s face.

That’s an expecting expression.

Why do they know?

Because there was a small blush on the escort captain’s cheeks. Even if you were to be generous, it wasn’t an expression that a married woman who had given birth to two children should have.

Ella Sein rose from her seat.

“Prepare. We’re going to the labyrinth entrance.”

“Yes!!!”

The Queen led the escort out of the inner castle.

Jeong Yu-shin stood to Ella Sein’s right.

Selenis stood to her left.

“Is this kind of patrol duty frequent?”

Selenis nodded at Jeong Yu-shin’s question.

“The Queen often inspects the labyrinth entrance. You can think of it as a routine.”

“I see.”

As they walked down the street, people’s gazes focused on them at once.

The explorers on the street widened their eyes. It wasn’t because they were surprised to see Ella Sein.

They were surprised to see the barbarian standing next to the Queen.

“Th-that person is?!”

“Hooook?! S, Ska?!”

The mixed-blood barbarian who used to wander around in comfortable clothes was gone, and he was standing next to the Queen in elven armor.

“It’s, it’s really amazing. That outfit suits him strangely well.”

“B, but what did he do again? Why is he standing next to the Queen?”

The elves on the street were surprised in a different sense. Because they knew what that armor meant.

“A, a bodyguard captain. H, how could the Queen…!”

“Hoo. S… surely? It can’t be?! Ska is with the Queen…”

People began to murmur.

Occasionally, strange speculations popped out, but they firmly shut their mouths at the escort’s fierce glares.

Jeong Yu-shin walked with Ella Sein and stood at the labyrinth entrance.

It was around lunchtime when people were gone, but the transfer magic circle was heavily guarded.

Ella Sein sat on a chair, crossed her arms, and listened to the guard captain’s report while looking at the magic circle.

Jeong Yu-shin didn’t have anything to do, so he just stared blankly at the transfer circle.

A late spring breeze gently swept over Jeong Yu-shin’s hair.

It was refreshing to be back in this place.

It had been a while since he had changed from the position of someone entering the labyrinth to an observer.

It felt like it was just yesterday that he was guarding the labyrinth entrance at the request of the Explorer’s Guild.

Jeong Yu-shin’s eyes lit up as he quietly watched.

He saw some familiar faces.

The Iron Mask party was entering the labyrinth.

‘Brother.’

The first prince of the Lionel Kingdom.

A man who was dying of a disease and was entering the labyrinth with the desperate hope of obtaining a healing imprint.

The Iron Mask found Jeong Yu-shin and froze for a moment.

Jeong Yu-shin raised his hand and waved slightly.

The Iron Mask nodded and gave a thumbs up.

It was a distance where words couldn’t reach, but they could tell just by looking at each other’s eyes.

‘Cool, Ska.’

‘You’re cool too, brother.’

The naked dwarf next to the Iron Mask also waved his hand enthusiastically at Jeong Yu-shin.

Jeong Yu-shin turned his head away. The Kubo priest, who was embarrassing to take anywhere, was still alive.

There was another familiar face.

Small and medium-sized clan members gathered in groups of three or five and headed for the labyrinth.

They recognized Jeong Yu-shin, widened their mouths, rubbed their eyes several times, bowed politely, and entered the labyrinth.

Jeong Yu-shin also responded with a bow.

“Ska, you know a lot of faces.”

Ella Sein, who was sitting in a chair, said.

“Yes. Because I’m the president of the small and medium-sized clan association.”

“People don’t seem to see it that way.”

Jeong Yu-shin tilted his head.

It was difficult to understand Ella Sein’s words.

“Look at the way they look at you.”

“…?”

“Doesn’t it seem like they’re looking at another labyrinth committee?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Respect and trust are shining. Do you really not know?”

“There was also caution and doubt.”

“That must be someone who doesn’t know you.”

Ella Sein nodded after sitting in a chair and looking at the labyrinth entrance for a few hours.

“The security around the transfer circle has been strengthened, so there shouldn’t be any problems for a while.”

Selenis bowed her head.

“It’s a relief that the White Night Mercenary Corps is in charge of guarding the outskirts of the city.”

“It’s just a breather. It’s still not enough. We need the help of the Beastmen Alliance and the Spirit Church as well.”

Ella Sein said sharply and held out her hand to Jeong Yu-shin.

“…?”

Jeong Yu-shin placed his hand on Ella Sein’s hand.

Pong.

Ella Sein looked up at Jeong Yu-shin with a blank expression.

Selenis cleared her throat.

“Ahem! It means to support her.”

‘I see.’

He gently grabbed Ella Sein’s hand and pulled her up.

Jeong Yu-shin returned to the inner castle surrounded by the escort with the Queen.

* * *

Time passed and it was already evening.

Ella Sein, who was working in the audience chamber, gave Jeong Yu-shin a break.

Jeong Yu-shin didn’t have anything to do, so he decided to look around the assigned accommodation.

The accommodation was right next to Ella Sein’s room. It was a clean and tidy double room.

There was nothing lacking. All the furniture, tables, and equipment racks were not inferior to Darmong’s inn.

There were two beds.

One was for the escort captain Selenis.

Jeong Yu-shin sat on his bed.

Guarding the Queen was easier than he thought.

In fact, it was just a bodyguard in name only. Most of the security work was being handled by the escort, and he was just keeping Ella Sein company from time to time.

‘No.’

Jeong Yu-shin shook his head.

Not even a day had passed yet. No matter how much Ella Sein was accommodating him, he couldn’t afford to act leisurely like this.

At that time.

Knock knock.

A knock was heard, and Selenis entered.

“Ska, the Queen is calling you.”

“Yes?”

He wondered why the Queen was calling him at this late hour.

Only for a moment. Selenis didn’t say it, but Jeong Yu-shin immediately realized.

Night service.

He had been so busy with various things today that he had forgotten.

“It’s really just a conversation partner, right?”

“I, I don’t know!”

Selenis avoided his gaze with a flustered expression.

Jeong Yu-shin tilted his head for a moment, then got up from his seat and headed to Ella Sein’s bedroom.

Creak.

A quiet room.

Ella Sein, who had already changed into her nightgown, was sitting in a chair and looking at Jeong Yu-shin.

As bright moonlight entered through the window, Ella Sein’s green hair sparkled.

He stopped walking.

It was different.

This wasn’t the Queen Ella Sein who had been acting so decisively until now.

The Queen, wearing a purple see-through negligee, exuded a dangerous level of sexiness.

Underneath the transparent negligee, black lace bras and panties with antique embroidery were clearly visible.

That’s not all.

Ella Sein’s voluptuous body also shone seductively in the moonlight.

A slender waist and plump thighs.

A cute lower abdomen that rose to protect her precious baby room.

Heavy breasts that made the bra straps slightly loose.

“…”

Ella Sein tucked her green hair behind her ear and smiled with her eyes.

“Hehe. Where are you looking?”

“…”

Honestly, it was too sexy to know where to look.

Ella Sein gestured.

“Come here.”

He slowly approached the table where the Queen was sitting.

There were a wine bottle and two glasses on the table, and there was also a small wooden box.

Ella Sein slowly opened the wooden box.

Squeak.

As the box opened, a small leather choker came into view.

Jeong Yu-shin opened his mouth and looked at Ella Sein.

‘Ah.’

He immediately realized.

Of course.

Ella Sein.

She’s going to put that leather choker around his neck no matter what.

He had avoided it during their first meeting, but this time would be different.

He could tell by looking at the Queen’s eyes. He could see the desire to suppress, subjugate, and possess him.

“Is there a reason why I have to wear this?”

“It’s a magical tool that suppresses Yin energy. We can’t have the same mishap happen during the mission as last time, can we?”

‘Tsk.’

Can’t say anything.

Should I have bought a Yin energy suppression ring earlier?

After the ring that the Barbarian grandpa gave him was broken, he didn’t buy a new Yin energy suppression magical tool.

There was a reason. He was so preoccupied with things related to Dietrich that he didn’t even think about preparing a magical tool.

Anyway, it was a lax attitude, so he couldn’t find an excuse to refuse the Queen’s suggestion.

“There’s no need to feel so resistant. It’s just a magical tool.”

What do you mean it’s just a Yin energy suppression magical tool?

It’s something that will satisfy the Elf Queen’s perverse and twisted sexual desires.

However.

Jeong Yu-shin smiled and took a step closer.

‘I can’t help it.’

There was no need to refuse the leather choker now and offend Ella Sein.

To catch a tiger, you have to go into the tiger’s den.

To catch an elf, you have to go into the forest.

‘If I’m going to be flattering, I have to do my best.’

He picked up the leather choker and put it around his neck.

Click.

The soft leather necklace wrapped around his neck.

It didn’t feel that bad.

“How is it?”

Ella Sein’s breathing became rough for a moment at Jeong Yu-shin’s question.

“Hoo, hoo. It, it suits you well.”

“By the way, it fits my neck perfectly.”

“…”

Ella Sein silently picked up the wine bottle.

Whether she was excited or nervous, Ella Sein’s hands were trembling slightly.

“I’ll help you.”

He took the wine bottle from the Queen’s hand and poured it into the glass.

Drizzle.

“Ah.”

Jeong Yu-shin’s hand shook for a moment, and wine splashed on Ella Sein’s negligee.

Thud. Thud.

The wine splashed on Ella Sein’s snow-white, soft and plump thighs.

“Hoo-hoo-hoo.”

Ella Sein sighed softly.

Jeong Yu-shin gave a seductive smile and slowly knelt down.

“I ‘accidentally’ spilled expensive wine. Queen, there’s no cloth to wipe it up here, and it’s bothersome to call someone, so I’ll lick it off with my tongue instead. Of course, if you’re not uncomfortable with it.”

Ella Sein’s breath became rough for a moment.

“Hehee! Th-that’s right. To dare not even pour the wine properly. Clean up the dirtied parts with your tongue ahhh.”

“I understand.”

The mixed-blood barbarian, who had finished speaking, smiled once again and stuck out his tongue.

Under the bright moon.

Ska’s red tongue stretched out long.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Ella Sein’s heart pounded as if it would explode, and her lower abdomen tightened.

‘Am I dreaming?’

The man she had so desired to possess was kneeling in front of her and sticking out his tongue!

Her spine tingled, and her brain became so hot that it was like mush.

However.

She, who was excited, did not realize.

What kind of women this mixed-blood barbarian had been dealing with until now.

And.

To what extent Ska’s preferences had been twisted due to drugs, spells, and hypnosis.
