The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 66: You are a beautiful girl

I began to remember William’s profile and It is true that at the beginning of the year he was the son of a knight, but that will end soon.

The kingdom would pretend to recognize his father’s achievements to give him territory and a noble title, thus making him a successor earl.

It was a long term plan so that a marriage, with the royal family, or other nobles, could materialize if the opportunity arose.

Later, they would slowly increase their rank in disguise, to avoid opposition and problems later.

There are no memories to indicate which nobleman he served or serves at this time, and I did not even know that he had a good relationship with such a nobleman. So I asked curiously.

”Wait, William, I didn’t know the noble you served had a son at the academy.”

”Ohh, I hadn’t mentioned that. In fact, he has four sons. One was already a kingdom representative in the first generation, and the other three are candidates for representatives in this generation.”

”...”

Apparently, the family... what did he say his name was? Vulcan or something? He had a lot of talented children. Wait, I don’t remember anyone close to William with that last name, and when I was going to ask him who it was, he said so himself.

”In fact, Silvia is the only female child in that house, and she’s a good friend.”

”Huh? Silvia is a noblewoman?”

’Wait, wait, what does he mean, did he mean Silvia when he said she got along well with the family she served? More than that... Silvia is a noble? That I didn’t know.’

It was information that was not present in my alternate self’s memories. While I knew they had known each other since before the examination, I didn’t think it would be a master-servant relationship. I looked at Silvia just to confirm.

”Yes, I am a noblewoman,”

She said quietly and with a tone of sadness. I have many memories of Silvia, to the point that I think I’ve known her for years, and in none of them does she mention that she was a noble, let alone of the house William served in the past... or rather, serves at this time.

I was taken by surprise by this revelation, but if I think about it, it’s not such a big deal, just unexpected. And well, it’s better for me if they have such a strong relationship from before.

I can understand now why she was even quieter than usual, even considering she doesn’t know much about warriors and swords. It’s because she feels out of place.

I mean, technically, William and Lys, as well as myself right now, were the children of knights.

Knights are generally said to be nobles, but most nobles see them as commoners and despise them, see them as nothing more than mere servants and most already take that as a given.

Maybe that’s what’s going through her head at the moment, which is why she seemed a bit depressed, though it was hard to notice.

But I don’t mind; I mean really I’m a noble of the highest rank and I don’t give a damn about status, so I made sure she didn’t overthink it, dangerous thoughts can be born from that.

”Well, it doesn’t matter that you’re a noble. In the academy that’s not relevant, is it, William?”

”Yes, that’s true, don’t make a big deal out of it, Silvia. Not all nobles are bad.”

In the end, we ended up consoling Silvia, who seemed a bit depressed about being a noble while we are not.

In fact, nobles and commoners don’t usually get together, even though the academy has a policy of equality, most ignore it.

Maybe my surprise depressed her a bit, but hey, it’s a chance for William to earn points so the job of consoling her was left entirely to him .

Instead, I focused on Eirlys and started a conversation.

”So, Lys... you said you handle the wind element, right?”

”Huh? Did I say that?”

’Shit, I got ahead of myself. It seems I hadn’t mentioned it yet.’

”I mean, I think I heard it at the entrance examination, where a beautiful woman with cyan hair was wielding a rapier that moved quickly with the wind, so I thought it was you.”

”Hehe, you embarrass me.... Besides, it could be someone else.”

She let out a cheerful laugh while scratching her head and blushing a little. As I thought, she’s weak to compliments.

”I don’t think there’s anyone with those characteristics besides you. I mean, you’re one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen.”

Indeed, she is quite a beauty and my compliments were sincere, I was going to shower her with compliments, sincere.

”Hehehe, indeed, you’re good at giving compliments. If you keep it up, I’m going to believe them.”

Like anyone else, she liked compliments, and knowing she was especially weak to them, I attacked even more intensely.

”I’m not lying, I would never lie to such a beautiful lady. In fact, I’m lucky to be your friend, because we are, aren’t we?”

”Of course, but I’m afraid to be friends with someone as casanova as you.”

Luckily, he said those words in a light and playful tone, so it doesn’t sound like he meant it. So I continued to lash out shamelessly.

”Oh, come on, I’m not a Casanova, I just told the truth.”

”Come on, you go on about it and say you’re not a casanova. I can’t imagine the number of women who fell for you.”

”I mean, just because I say a beautiful woman is beautiful doesn’t mean I’m a casanova. I mean, both you and Silvia are so beautiful that I think I spent the luck of my life being your friend.”

Although my plan was to shower her with compliments, I didn’t want her to think I had impure intentions in doing so. (he does).

So I simply told her it was a casual compliment, while making sure that purity emanated from me, so that they seemed like compliments without any intent beyond pure sincere admiration of her beauty.

I also mentioned it to Silvia so that she would not believe I was saying it with the intention of wooing her, as that could lead to a bad ending.

In fact, for her, it is best to start as friends and slowly work my way up, so besides leaving a good initial impression on her, I had no plans to go beyond praising her so that she would gain some awareness towards me.

But my words received a response from a different side.

”Huh? Am I beautiful?”

Silvia seemed to hear me and asked to rectify if she had heard correctly.

’hey! why are you paying attention to our conversation, you weren’t sad, or something’.

but well maybe she already feels good and listened to our conversation, as for her question, certainly Silvia right now has huge glasses along with hair that covers a lot of her face, but undoubtedly she is beautiful, even if you don’t fully see her face right now.

Just looking at her in more detail you would realize that she is beautiful, of course, first you had to resist the gravitational pull that her large breasts emitted and made you avert your gaze.

Not to mention that memories of the future clearly show it, so it just came naturally to compliment her. I didn’t think I’d be paying attention.

”Well, like I said, it’s something you can see with the naked eye. You don’t need to be so surprised, do you, William?”

”Yes, that’s right, Silvia, I’ve always told you that you need to be more confident.”

”d-do you really?...”

For a moment I was afraid of scoring points with Silvia, so I got William involved, which freed me from inadvertently courting Silvia. Well, where I was at...

”Well, leaving aside that they are beautiful, how good are you at handling mana?”

I began the second part of my plan.

”This... Well, I only handle it to circulate my family’s art, so I’m not very good at it. In fact, I wanted to attend the specialized rune classes to get better, since I heard that using runes can make you able to cast spells even if you don’t have much mana.”

’Oh, what is this? An opportunity sent by the heavens.’

I wanted to steer the conversation to this point, but she brought up the topic herself which saved me a lot.

In fact, from what I recall, she could never really handle magic and was one hundred percent a warrior, but she had such refined use and control of mana that she was unsurpassed among her peers, and could even pierce through opponents’ magic with ease.

Even if she can’t cast strong magic, runes is something very essential in her combat style in the future that’s why I brought up the topic, but she herself was straight to the point which she wouldn’t miss at all.

”In fact, I can...”

”Oh!!!, do you want to learn runes? As a matter of fact, I want to learn too. I didn’t understand anything in the previous class.”

’Hey, you bastard, stay out of my conversation, besides since you couldn’t understand my beautiful Astrid’s explanation, you deserve death.’

I was happily talking to Lys when this time it was that damned William interjected.
