[Eleanor POV]

“Hmm…”

Inside an old temple, nestled deep within the forest, untouched by humans.

It was a temple situated in a quiet and dense forest, where nobody would pass by.

The temple appeared to be abandoned, and it was possible that even those who did pass by were unaware of its existence.

As a result, the goddess of this temple had a lot of free time

The goddess spent most of her time reading books.

But now she is sitting on the altar located in the middle of the temple, with a dull and heavy expression on her face

“Harold is late today…. Even though I’ve already marked him…., our time together only lasts for a few dozen minutes….and he spends so much time outside… it makes me so anxious.”

She endured the stinging pain in her heart, eagerly waiting for her only knight.

Harold was the knight of Eleanor who had appeared like a comet after she had spent eons in loneliness, bringing her the happiness she has forgotten.

It was Harold who had given her a ray of light when everyone else had forgotten about her.

Ever since he appeared, Eleanor had waited for him every day

“Is he with another woman right now…? I think he want to be locked up in this temple forever, but…. I don’t want to see his sad expression, so it’s not good….”

Therefore, Eleanor didn’t want to lose Harold, and she wanted to live together with him.

She was shy and timid, and still quite young when she first met Harold.

The goddess appeared soft and bright, with a childish inner side that is hidden.

She struggled with not knowing how to treat others and often tried to appear more mature than she actually was, making her look strange.

Since she lived a solitary life, her social skills were ruined, and she had no one to help her.

However, after he appeared, Eleanor was able to grow.

As she spend time with him, she was reminded of morality and felt the sadness of farewell as she watched him depart from the temple, knowing that she would not see him several times a day as she had grown accustomed to.

Through this experience, she matured and came to realize the importance of the people around her.

By thoroughly reading the book he had given her, she learned about the world outside and accumulated knowledge

However, there was a fatal problem….

As a result, her mind became twisted.

The most important thing in the process of maturing and growth is the environment

Proper growth requires people to experience a variety of things and learn positive lessons.

Eleanor only has him.

But the problem is that she only grew alongside him.

In the process to become mature, you need to have a normal mindset, common sense and meet many people.

Eleanor had neglected her social life and had no interest in learning until she met him.

As a result, she had only learned through him, which had contributed to her twisted mindset.

Since he was the only person she had met and he had alleviated the loneliness that she had felt until then, she had developed an excessive liking for him that had turned into a form of dependence and obsession.

Now, Harold is her everything to Eleanor, and nobody else can replace him.

In order to keep his heart bound to her, she is willing to give up everything and goes to desperate lengths to prevent him from leaving her.

“It’s boring… Time without Harold is so lonely …”

However, physical restraints, not mentally, would rather destroy his trust, so she could only vaguely feel what he was doing through the pledge.

‘..My name is Harold. May I have the honor of becoming a servant of the goddess and offer my vow?’

A shy smile spreads across Eleanor’s face as she recalls her first meeting with him, wondering how he had come to her.

After meeting Harold in person, Eleanor spends her time reminiscing or daydreaming about their past encounters and the time they spent together.

Sssk!

“Huh..? What happened to Harold…?”

After reminiscing about their past encounters, she felt a weird twist in her chest, and her eyebrows furrowed, as if sensing something ominous.

“Uh….What is happening….? The pledge is becoming strange…and it’s covered in an aura that gives off a disgusting feeling….”

Frowning, she worries about what happened this time.

“Who is it…? Harold… Is it the foolish dragon again…?”

As the pledge seemed to become corrupted, the connection between Eleanor and him became blurred.

“ghh… and now that woman is trying to hide it through trickery… it’s so frustrating. I can sense it, but I can’t summon Harold back..!”

Unable to interfere with the current situation, Eleanor became frantically anxious and began to tremble.

“No!!”

…

..

However, the pledge never really deteriorated, and the unpleasant aura soon subsided.

“Uh… What’s that disgusting feeling…? It’s a familiar feeling…”

She rubbed her temples, looking into her memories, but she couldn’t quite remember it.

“This… it’s definitely the strange bitch’s smell that’s attached to Harold…”

She then tries to determine the origin of that aura.

“The mere fact that she dare to meddle with our pledge… and moreover, to conceals it… ughhh..”

She groans bitterly, feeling frustrated as thoughts that rarely cross her mind suddenly come rushing in.

“Uh… What…? It’s not the first time I’ve felt it…surely…”

Then she look into the dusty bookshelf, where all the books she has kept for a long time are stored.

[Wind!]

As the wind blows, it stirs up the accumulated dust, and she unintentionally inhales a bit of it, causing her to cough.

“Cough! Cough! I…ugh… I should do some cleaning…”

While complaining, she slowly look around to see if she can find any clues in it.

“Huh..? A letter? Did someone write a letter to me?”

Then she looked at the letter.

It was so old that the writing was worn out making it was barely recognizable, and the paper looked like it would tear with the force of a newborn baby.

Eleanor’s gaze had been fixated on a particular spot on the letter-

A handwritten signature engraved with an individual’s magic caught Eleanor’s attention,

This magic aura…it’s-

“… Abne?”

At that moment, something sparked and flickered in her mind, igniting a surge of anger within her.

Eleanor gritted her teeth and tightened her grip-

Srrrk!

The letter, old and fragile, crumbles into a fine powder in her hands.

“Ah..right… the bitch that bothered me a long time ago…!!!”

Eleanor’s screams fill the air as she unleashes her anger, releasing the frustration from the memories of the terrible past relationship.

Remembering their relationship, Eleanor is consumed by anger, but there is one factor that stands out as the main cause, driving her to a state of frenzy.

“How dare you… trying to steal my Harold…”

She couldn’t bear it when she realized that the disgusting scent and the source of the unsettling energy she had just sensed were linked to a long-standing affair..

“First of all, Harold… You’ve entangled yourself with another vile bitch…”

Then, for nothing, she starts to doubt her own innocent knight.

However, it is fair to say that the goddess Abne is the most praised and known goddess in the royal capital road.

It’s said that there are a lot of talented people who will do their best for her.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it seemed that Harold’s involvement with such being had caused him to develop feelings strong enough to contemplate breaking his vow, or perhaps he was being forced in some way.

“Huh…haha… Harold… You’re a very sinful man,.. why won’t you just stay with me…?”

Mumbling a monologue that will never reach him, she leans back and looks up at the sky.

The dark vines covered the ceiling, but rays of sunlight seeped through small cracks.

“..Ha…I can’t, I’ve endured it until now, but I can’t take it any longer…I’ll punish that sinful man properly now.”

Then she ascends back to the altar and retrieves a small glass bottle.

Ssk sssk

She sprays the contents of the glass bottle onto her wrist, rubs it gently, and takes a sniff of the fragrance.

Sniff sniff

“Okay, it still smells good.”

She sprays herself with a bottle of Temptation Perfume, and nods with satisfaction.

“Harold, brace yourself, because today I will make it clear who you truly belong to.”

◆◆◆

[Abne POV]

..

Abne, the Goddess of Truth and Justice, wakes up in the audience room of the gods.

With her sharp intellect, she swiftly scans her surroundings and comprehends the situation, her hand instinctively caressing her abdomen that still tingles from the pain.

“So you lost in the end… to that dragon?”

To some extent, it was the result of not taking it seriously that resulted to this.

Sigh..

So she didn’t dwell on it too much as it was an expected outcome. She simply let out a sigh, feeling a slight sense of regret, but not dwelling on it any further.

“That human, Harold… He possesses such purity…and his aura is very unique… Is that why you desire to claim him?”

She shakes off her dirty clothes and gets up from her seat.

“Nevertheless, I won’t give up. The greater the challenge, the stronger my desire to possess him becomes. It drives me to madness, wanting him more and more.”

Just like humans, Gods too experience repeated failures, but they learn from them and use those lessons to achieve their goals perfectly without failing.

In particular, Abne who was perfect from the start, even if she failed, there was no way she would miss it if given the next opportunity.

She appears to be calm, but only she knows the true depth of her emotions.

‘Next time, I will definitely take you, so please look forward to it, Harold~’

◆◆◆

[Harold POV]

Something wasn’t quite right.

To be precise, I’m unsure of the direction to take in this situation, leaving me feeling lost and uncertain.

“Harold…”

Fortunately, I safely got out from the temple of Abne and was walking along the road with Mir, but somehow my mind couldn’t stand the awkward atmosphere.

“Um.. what is it…?”

Looking at Mir’s face, I was not confident to face her confidently because what happened earlier.

Her face was hot and red, and her gaze was naturally directed to the ground.

“Oh… nothing… uh…”

Mir, too, had her eyes fixed on me, though it was unclear whether it was due to confusion or her own lack of courage to meet my gaze.

She had wanted to say something for a while, but each time she tried, she changed her mind and remained silent, blushing in the process.

It was really awkward, and I felt so frustrated that I wanted to scream by seeing her acting like this.

Clearly, it was an accident, but for some reason, my heart races whenever I think about that…

“…Harold.”

I forgot how many times my name was called like this.

“Yes…?”

gulps

I swallowed nervously, gulping down the dryness in my throat, and finally, Mir spoke up.

“As I said before, can you be my Black Knight…? If you accept it, I can give you something better than a… a k-kiss…”

The small and stuttering tone of her voice only amplifies the bad thoughts swirling in my mind.

!! T-that…! Ugh.. but…

I once again politely declines the proposal…

“I’m sorry… I’m currently worshiping a goddess,… Breaking my oath recklessly would cause a lot of problems…”

I said bitterly, but fortunately, she doesn’t try to be forceful like last time. She simply remains quiet and appears gloomy.

“I understand… I have forced you once…, so I will get over it…. for now…”

She spoke confidently while hiding her face, and in an instant she regained her usual mood.

“Still, you will have to realize this. I will not give up on you, because dragons will surely get what they want.”

“Yes…”

I nod my head with a strange expression and smile with a sense of relief.

And she parted ways with me, disappearing into the crowd.

The distinct aura that surrounded her allowed me to sense her presence from a considerable distance, but it gradually faded away until it disappeared completely.

◆◆◆

“…Goddess? Your Knight, Harold, is here….”

On the inside, I was extremely nervous and scared, but I kept my composure as much as possible and spoke calmly as if nothing was wrong.

Today’s series of intense events unfolded one after another, with Goddess Abne attempting to alter the vow and my lips engaging in some unexpected exercise with Mir’s…

I better not tell her about this…

“Yeah… Come in, my knight.”

She greeted me with an expression of mixed emotions, so I felt something unusual… but… it’s probably just my imagination….

Right? Haha….

“Can you come close to me for a moment?”

At those words, I cautiously approached her, but she wore an unpleasant expression, indicating that my efforts to erase the traces had been in vain.

ah…shit

swish!

“Ugh?!”

She grabbed me by the collar roughly, pulling me closer to her face until her breath brushed against my skin.

In an instant, I froze.

I don’t know how many mental breakdowns I’ve had today

haha

It was so sudden that I couldn’t even face the reality, and I was stunned.

Unlike Mir, she didn’t steal my lips, but rather glared at me with sharp eyes.

“You’ve had an affair with that old dragon bitch hmm? My knight…”

Thump! Thump! Thump!

“And not just that.., but to be tempted by that vixen Abne…”

Hearing those words, my heart started to run wild.

How on earth did she know, even after I scrubbed my mouth almost peeling off the skin to remove any trace of Mir’s scent?

And she can still notices it?

Ah..Crazy..

I’m sure Abne was also using concealment magic, so surely Eleanor shouldn’t notice the ritual, but…

“To lose your first kiss…haha… Don’t you know that such a thing is unacceptable in our shrine, where dating is prohibited.. hm… hey?”

I felt a sense of extreme fear and I wanted to shudder in fear as I imagined the situation that would befall me right now.

“Then you must be punished accordingly.”

With those words, a wicked smile formed on her face.

But even with such a face, I feel…

..What?

Something… something feels strange…. uh… Eleanor looks so pretty…

My body reacted violently to Eleanor and wanted her.

Why… this feeling…

“You’re even trying to cover things up… It’s so annoying. I’ll punish you personally in return~”

mmh! ♥

This is the second time today… my tongue was stolen again.

Her saliva intertwines with mine, creating a splashing sound as if marking me as her own, showing a greedy desire for my tongue even more intensely than Mir.

“mmhphh…!!”

Unlike Mir, my mind and body reacted and it seemed like I couldn’t control it.

I feel like a really big accident is going to happen if I stay like this, so I grab hold of my unclear consciousness and squeeze my reason.

“Do not resist.”

With that brief words, I stopped struggling as if frozen in place.

It was unclear whether it was due to her continuous control over me or my inability to resist the overwhelming atmosphere that surrounded us.

“Okay, so this is your punishment.”

She smiled with satisfaction and began to remove my clothes one by one.

“Don’t make that face, it will be over soon… And if it doesn’t, even the leaves on the ceiling will bear witness,”

she whispered, her voice laced with a chilling tone.

She forcefully pushes me down, a wicked smile playing on her lips, as she steals another kiss.

Mmh ♥

“I’ve waited so long for this day, the day when I can finally embrace you, Harold…♥”

For some reason, my consciousness felt clouded, yet there was a strange anticipation within me, as if I had been longing for this moment repeatedly.

I want the Goddess….

Only those thoughts filled me.

Sssk!

“Hm? Oh~…You’re responding to me, my knight ♥ It’s wonderful, to be honest with me… hm~.. hm~!”

[ note : khm khm this means Harold ‘dragon’ is y’know…( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ]

She climbs on top of me with an evil and happy smile that I have never seen before.

“Come on… Now I’ll engrave on that body, who you belong to. ♥”
