The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 65: Eirlys

”What is this? Isn’t something like this supposed to have happened? Why? What’s going on? Is this my fault?”

I said as I looked at the dead bodies in front of me, my hands bloody. I couldn’t understand why this was happening. Something like this wasn’t supposed to happen, but the reality was in front of me.

”Damn it! I won’t let this affect my school life. I’m already forming my harem and I’m not going to let you bastards ruin that, I’m going to kill you!”

A few days earlier

”Haaaaawwhh!”

It was Wednesday morning and we were having a class on monsters and beasts, a class I didn’t need at all, and I was seriously bored. It didn’t help that the instructor was an elderly lady, as her voice was very sleepy.

But hey, nothing can be done to her. Just like Monday, Eira was giving me a death stare, Cordelia wasn’t even giving my presence a second thought, and I always had William on my radar in case he was interested in my doppelgänger. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Yesterday, after Instructor Astrid was passed out again, I noticed that her stamina was very low; even Elena, being a virgin, lasted more than two rounds.

Well, Elena was physically better than the instructor, I could see in her window that she was concentrating purely on mana, and the rest of her stats honestly sucked.

But in the end I had no choice but to clean up and fix everything like the day before. I couldn’t even talk to her about what happened, but at least now I don’t need to worry about the instructor’s thoughts her actions made that more than clear.

Now that I don’t need to worry about it, my next target is already decided, one can never slack on the important things. I was just waiting for the noon break to take action.

..

.

the class ended and the instructor started talking about something that caught my interest.

”The kingdom has sent a warning. For some reason, demons are actively on the move. In other realms, there have been cases of terrorist attacks, and it has also been recorded that they have attacked promising young people in the realms. So be careful when leaving the academy premises. It is presumed that this is not an isolated case, so tread carefully.”

Listening to what the instructor said, I tried to remember if it was something I should be aware of, but I found nothing, which directly affected me.

Besides, I knew a secret that only kings and people with power know, and that is the existence of an agreement backed by the gods, which covers all the continents in the southern part of this world, including us our kingdom.

So something important related to demons shouldn’t happen.... right?

Anyway, in my memories, never during my time at the academy did anything related to demons happen, and this was, in perspective, the most peaceful time of my life.

Well, there were more important things at the moment.

I talked to Cordelia and told her I would be spending time with some friends, which she readily agreed to with a small nod. She didn’t seem to mind what I did, unless it was related to my doppelgänger.

So, without further ado, I started tracking down my target and future member of my harem.

But I didn’t have to look very hard because at the moment I was thinking where I could find her, I could see her.

The problem was that she was chatting with William, who was potentially her love interest in the future.

’No, this can’t happen.’

She, like Alice, was one of the few decent people in William’s harem, so I thought I would have a much better chance with her than with the others, who were hoards of trouble.

But it seems I was slow, as they had already created a connection with William. But that wasn’t going to stop me, so I approached them, or rather I needed information on the current relationship between them, and no one better than the silent Silvia, who was there just watching them converse, doing nothing.

I had always hoped that something would develop between her and William, but I guess a few days would not be enough, not counting that yesterday they must not have seen each other at all.

As I approached, I overheard them talking.

”The truth is, I saw you yesterday in swordplay class and wanted to exchange some tips with you, you were amazing.”

”Really? I don’t think it’s that big of a deal, in fact, I also saw you fight and I must say your rapier handling was impressive, I couldn’t even see some of your moves.”

William responded a little embarrassed at the praise from the girl who had light cyan hair tied in a ponytail.

She had a normal build, her body was slim and she looked lithe, plus she had Turquoise Eyes.

I walked up to Silvia and started talking to her.

”Hello, Silvia, who is that girl talking to William?”

I feigned ignorance and asked in a whisper.

”I don’t know, they just started talking. Apparently, they shared a fencing and swordplay class yesterday.”

’Oh, poor Silvia, she must be thinking she has a love rival. Don’t worry, I promised to help you through this, leave it to me.’

Understanding that their relationship had gone no further than just beginning to get to know each other, I decided to quickly intervene and jumped into their conversation.

”Oh, hello, William, my dear friend, how have you been doing? It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other.”

”Huh? Oh, Chris...but I’m right behind you?. Well, never mind... As a matter of fact, I was looking for you for lunch, if you weren’t busy.”

”I’m always free to be with a friend.”

”That’s great... Let me introduce them to you. This is Eirlys, she’s from class B, and this is Christian, a friend from class A.”

William started to introduce us.

’Good job, William’.

”Nice to meet you, I’m Christian, as William said, but you can call me Chris.”

”Nice to meet you too. My name is Eirlys, but you can call me Lys, it’s easier to pronounce.”

”Well, now that you’ve been introduced, you don’t mind if she joins us for lunch, do you?”

”Of course not, your friend is my friend, let’s go!”

’Well I interrupted your conversation properly, first step accomplished.’

we started walking in the direction of the cafeteria, as they talked about swordplay, of course this time I jumped right in, into their conversation, I wanted to demonstrate my knowledge and impress her.

If I had to describe this woman, I would say that she is normal, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. She’s someone who, compared to all the girls him around, including Alice, it could say is the most normal.

But for me, someone who is a beauty and has a normal personality, it’s like finding water in the desert, and she was my second priority in recruitment after the instructor when coming to the academy.

She is a sword fanatic and someone with great potential. Right now she is in class B, but at the first examination for promotion she will be able to get into our class, so it was only a matter of time.

She shared an interest with William, who was also a sword fanatic, as his father was a powerful knight. And well, due to many cliché things and events, she ended up slowly falling in love with him.

She was the type who, when she gave her heart, could hardly change her mind. Luckily, she wasn’t a yandere, nor did she have a character or personality problem like certain women I know who give me headaches on a daily basis, and that’s only two days into the academy.

..

.

We continued chatting for a while until we got to the dining room, which was more like an elegant and huge restaurant that would easily accommodate all the students, and their food was top notch. We ordered what we would eat and continued chatting.

In fact, I know a lot about swords since Elena handles daggers and double short swords. Because I trained mostly with her at the mansion, I ended up understanding a bit about swords, even though I didn’t handle them myself.

Unfortunately, poor Silvia, being a 100% mage, had no room for maneuvering where to get into the conversation.

So I changed the subject a bit and had Silvia jump in. I couldn’t let jealousy and envy awaken her yandere side, at least not so soon.

’Don’t worry, Silvia, I’m on your side.’

We began to talk about subjects on which Silvia had a say. Although, shy as she is, she spoke little, but that’s something.

We continued the conversation until, suddenly, William changed the course of our talk out of nowhere.

”By the way, Chris, I heard you didn’t get along with the nobleman you served, what was his name again? Se-Seraph.....”

I almost had a heart attack when he tried to remember my name, so I interrupted him.

”Ohhh! You don’t have to worry about that. In fact, we never got along, so it’s not a big deal.”

I was afraid that even mentioning my name would cause some reaction in him, I could never be sure, so I wanted to suppress the topic as much as I could, but he still went on, but he said something that caught my attention.

”In fact, not always the master-servant relationship is a good one, like mine.”

’Wait, what did he say...?’
