'However... that Avion knows how to escape! Furthermore, the princess already has set her eyes on him.' she internally sighed in frustration.
Looking at "Relle" right now, she knew, she was a little attracted. She may have found a substitute. It is true that she didn't care about the appearance. Since she believes she won't get to see Avion again or interact with him if she did, she set her eyes on "Relle"
'You think being cold to me will help you!?' she inwardly laughed.
After that, Edora continued speaking even though Avion was under the sheets already, his back facing her.
"She's too noisy." Darea complained, wanting to shut Edora up.
This Royal-Knight Captain had been speaking non-stop. Telling him about her life and how they were the same. Eventually, she sounded desperate even though she had confidence and coolness in her tone.
"I think as bodyguards, we should stick together. You must be new here so I could guide you on how to become a bodyguard and a babysitter at the same time. You-" she stopped when Avion slowly sat up and looked at her with dead eyes.
"What?" she asked, 'Is he getting angry?' she became a little bit excited, 'W-what will he do to me?'
At the next moment, she was caught unguarded, "What do you want?" he said with an annoyed tone.
This was the first night and Avion wanted to act fast. He wanted to start the assassination. But this woman just can't go to sleep, not making her move. Especially since this woman is Edora, Avion's first killer, it was really annoying him.
He couldn't just kill her. If only she was killed along with the Royalties, isn't that too suspicious? So should he kill everyone else then? Avion didn't like killing in the first place! Why would he!?
Edora's heartbeat raced, 'What do I want?' she gulped.
Should she request it or not? But isn't requesting it a little too shameful?
Thinking about it... Edora got more excited!
With an indifferent face, she said, "Will you do it though?"
"Just to shut you up... I want to sleep..." Avion rolled his eyes, obviously bothered, "So what is it? Is it a request or something? I just want to tell you that it's your princess who approached me, not the other way around so I have no control over it."
"No, it has nothing to do about that. It's simple, you can do it anytime, actually." Edora said with a straight face as if she was about to say something important.
It made Avion interested, 'So she really has something to ask, huh... she should've been straight to the point rather than just talking about something else though!'
He waited and Edora gulped a little.
"Would you..." her determined gaze straightened Avion's back, "spank me?"
"..."
"..."
"What?"
"Spank me."
"She's asking you to hit her butt." Darea said to Avion, stupefied as well.
'I know what it means...' Avion replied inwardly, not that Darea could hear it, 'But I want to know why!'
"I must've misheard it? What is it again?" he was reluctant to accept it.
"Spank me."
"Excuse m-"
"Hit me on the butt."
"... why?"
"No reason." Edora's expression still says about her determination.
Avion was still confused until Darea explained to him.
"You may not know it but there are people who like getting hurt. It's a pleasure to them. Although I haven't met any of that people, maybe she's one of them."
Realizing this, Avion's stare was not only cold but also with disgust.
Edora's body shuddered.
With a darkened face, Avion stood up. In his mind, he was still unaccepting of it, 'You think getting hurt is pleasurable?'
He had gone through many torturous situations He had never liked any of them. It was hell!
That is why he doesn't understand how people can like pain. This disturbs him a little. So he wants to make this woman realize it.
Sure, why not?
Also, this would relieve his stress. She was the first to kill him and was still pestering him until now.
Isn't this a perfect opportunity?
Hurting women is bad? But she's clearly asking for it. I don't see the problem.
And so, it was a restless night for Edora.
Tired, Avion dropped on the bed. A little bit guilty that he may have exceeded this time.
"Avion... are you one of the people who find pleasure in hurting others?" Darea questioned. That night was a first to her too. She was a little amazed, "If not, I think you have the talent. If you think she regretted her decision, you're going to be disappointed."
If only Avion was not guilty, he may have been very annoyed. It was a strange experience. Ultimately, he didn't know what to feel about it.
Hearing the heavy breathing on the other side of the room, Avion believed what Darea said.
'I think I am not talented.' he grimaced.
After that, Avion realized that Edora was an adult so he covered his ears. When the umm... noises stopped, he finally stopped time.
"Finally" Darea removed her Immaterial Body Elesp, "Hey, sadist, unfortunately for you, you're under me." she amusedly smiled.
"I... I'm not a sadist."
Seeing Avion's hesitation made Darea laughed a little. This struck a nerve in him and made him fall on his bed.
"I'm sleeping first before I kill the kings."
"Ah, wait, I'm not in the mood to sleep. Are you going to make me wait for you to wake up!?"
Avion only yawned in response.
"Hey, Avion... hey!... I'm sorry so get up! Come on! This is your master's order!"
Avion grunted as he sat up on the bed that was brought onto the stoppage of time.
"You really have the guts to disobey your master?!" Darea scolded.
"I'm not disobeying, I'm not." Avion raised his hands, surrendering. Afterward, he grabbed a knife under his bed and took it in the stoppage of time.
Edora was in deep relaxing sleep while having a wide smile after the "punishment" she had so she didn't notice that Avion came out and opened the door.
Except for the inevitable creak of the door. There was no sound at all. After all, Avion trained a long time in the realm without time that is equivalent to more than a year due to Darea's help.
With her additional guidance and his talent, it made him reach Rank Cee abilities.
His relationship with Darea was getting closer and closer to the point that he doesn't see himself being bounded by her.
The thought of getting killed by her was getting farther as well. But he was still cautious and have been preparing something that may let him escape the Conqueress's grasp anytime.
But for now, the assassination of the three kings should be prioritized.
Holding the knife in his hand, Avion was a bit nervous. However, he didn't hesitate as he climbed a tree to see the Karan Royal Family peacefully sleeping.
"She's really spoiled, isn't she?" Darea commented.
Avion nodded. Princess Alisera was hugging her mother while between the King and Queen of Karan. If she was sucking her thumb, it would've been perfect.
"Don't kill her...yet."
"I know."
