The story of the black silk female knight

"Sister Melina, the little trouble you mentioned before, you were referring to your cousin Bill, right?"

When no one else is around, Melina no longer insists on adhering to maid etiquette, and Valensa will cling to her arm and act like a little sister, showing no airs of a young lady at all.

"Is that considered a minor inconvenience? If Tia and I hadn't arrived just in time... you'd better tell me next time you encounter something like this~~"

"I really didn't expect Mr. Bill to suddenly resort to force, he was quite gentlemanly the last few times."

Melina sighed, showing no sign of panic or lingering fear:

"But you don't need to worry, young lady... Although I don't know any combat skills or magic, I'm not someone who can be kidnapped at will."

"This might hurt your pride, Miss, but the truth is... even if you hadn't come today, there wouldn't have been any problems. I have ways to protect myself."

"Oh?"

Valensa blinked curiously:

"Does Melina have some kind of secret weapon for self-defense? I've never heard you mention it before."

"Because I just recently got this thing too~~"

Melina smiled and took out a golden rhombus-shaped emblem with a sun embedded in its center from her bosom:

"Didn't I originally intend to become a nun in the Church of the Sun through the Holy Path? But then I happened to be involved in an internal nun competition and accidentally won an award..."

"Is this the prize? Let me see... Ouch, it's so hot..."

Valensa reached for the emblem as she spoke, but a flash of holy light from it made her pull her hand back as if she were on fire, and she grimaced in disgust.

"Young Miss, why are you still so reckless? Let me see if you're hurt!"

Melina quickly put away the golden emblem, then grabbed Valensa's right hand and carefully checked it. She only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Valensa was not injured.

"It's alright, I'm a Pearl-level female knight, Sister Melina."

Valensa smiled smugly:

"Even if I put my hand into a regular fire now, it wouldn't matter for a short time... Ouch."

"Don't get carried away!"

Melina gave Valensa a sharp tap on the head without any hesitation:

Have you forgotten what I taught you before?

"Yes, I know I was wrong~~"

Valensa could only stick out her tongue and change the subject:

"Is that prize your self-defense tool, Melina? It looks really powerful."

"Ah."

Melina nodded, then took out the golden emblem again and showed it to Valensa, being very careful not to let Valensa touch it:

"The elder sister said that this is a charm specially bestowed upon women by Her Majesty the Sun Goddess. It can burn anyone who wants to use violence against the wearer and can also bind the soul, so there is no need to worry about it being stolen."

"Oh, so that's what it is... I've heard my father mention it before."

Valensa suddenly realized:

"If I remember correctly, this thing is called a miracle amulet. Normally, to obtain this, you need to go through a very complicated ritual process, which takes at least half a month."

My father wanted me to get a miracle amulet for protection, but I was scared after learning about the complicated process and didn't agree... I never expected that you, Melina, would have one.

But that's good, at least I won't worry about your safety in the capital anymore, Melina.

"Yes, Miss, you can just focus on your cultivation at the academy. There's no need to worry about me all the time."

Melina smiled, then stretched out her hand and pointed to the Adventurers' Guild building, which was not far away:

"Would you like to come to my dorm for a bit, Miss?"

"Well... maybe next time. I have somewhere I'd like to go tonight."

Valensa was somewhat tempted, but still shook her head and declined.

She finally managed to coax Tia away by using Melina as an excuse, intending to take the opportunity to go to the Dimensional Hardware Store to further enhance herself.

There was no point in hiding this from Tia.

However, the way she entered the Dimensional Hardware Store from the capital was rather strange. Valensa felt that Tia would definitely not believe that she went to such an improper place just to become stronger.

Chapter 31 The female knight was caught red-handed!

Two days ago, Valensa made plans with Tia to go shopping together today. She then used the Dimensional Hardware Store's membership terminal to check the entrance to the store in the capital.

Valensa's initial thought was that if the entrance were in a place like a royal palace, she might need Tia's help to get there.

The location turned out to be even stranger than Valensa had anticipated, and it was a place she had been before.

Pink Rose, a tavern with a unique culture that only serves female guests.

It's the spot where Valencia once secretly took her younger sister to play when she was little, and her butt almost got a double beating from her parents.

Would Tia know if I went to a place like that?

If the Dimensional Hardware Store were just inside the Pink Rose Tavern, Valensa could choose to sneak in or disguise herself before going.

However, there are special requirements for entering the Dimensional Hardware Store, just like running around the tree in Sergin Town and jumping up and down the watchtower in Klar City.

One of the requirements for entering the capital city is that Valensa must enter Pink Rose through the main gate and must not conceal her identity.

This requirement is a bit stimulating for Valencia, who is currently a student. She could easily get into trouble if her classmates saw it.

But the Dimensional Hardware Store is where Valensa is currently improving her strength the fastest, so she can't possibly not come. She can only do what she's doing now: trick Tia into leaving and then try her luck.

Standing at the street corner closest to the Pink Rose Tavern, Valensa took a deep breath and greatly enhanced her perception with her mental powers.

After confirming several times that no one she recognized was around, Valensa opened her eyes and walked confidently toward the entrance of Pink Rose Garden.

As the most famous tavern in the capital for its unique cultural attractions, Pink Rose's architecture is extremely luxurious, even magnificent, much like the large nightclubs Valensa lived in her previous life.

Eight female guards in armor, each wielding a spear, and four pretty young ladies in strappy lace dresses stood at the shop entrance.

The female guards all exuded a murderous aura, their cold eyes scaring away any men who approached, silently telling them that they were not welcome here.

If a woman in elegant attire approaches, the pretty young ladies will greet her and invite her into the store with pleasant voices.

Valensa felt she should be fine too.

She had already changed out of the armor that was damaged during her duel with Bill. She was now wearing a brand-name dress that she had just bought at the mall that afternoon, and she was also wearing a noble badge. She looked no different from other customers who came to Pink Rose.

To be honest, Valensa is just too young and beautiful; she doesn't seem like someone who comes here to spend money, but rather to work and earn money.

But the capital is so big, there must be plenty of beautiful noble ladies who like to come here, so people who love roses should be used to it by now.

Valensa didn't think she had done anything wrong, and her steps became more and more confident, her face showing an expression of anticipation that she was going to have a great time tonight.

However, she was still stopped.

"Miss, please wait a moment."

However, it wasn't one of the female guards who stopped Valensa, but one of the beautiful hostesses.

"……What's up?"

When the hostess kept scrutinizing her face and comparing it to the familiar-looking card in her hand, Valensa suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You must be Miss Valensa Bader? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

After confirming Valensa's identity, the greeter's smile became even brighter:

"Please follow me, a distinguished guest is waiting for you."

"Dignified guest?"

The bad premonition came true, Valensa twitched the corner of her mouth:

"Is it okay if I don't go see her?"

"What do you think?"

The hostess's smile remained sweet, but the eight female guards, each wielding a spear and exuding a murderous aura, silently surrounded them, clearly to prevent someone from escaping.

"...Okay, I'll go."

Valensa had no choice but to agree.

Just as Valencia had predicted, the hostess did not lead her into the Pink Roses shop, but instead led her into a side street next to the tavern.

At the end of the path, there was a carriage that Valensa knew very well, and next to the carriage was a red-haired maid with an expressionless face.

In addition, four magic cards were faintly glowing on the ground around the carriage, which must have been what allowed the carriage to escape Valensa's previous senses.

The hostess was very considerate; after leading Valensa to her destination, she simply bowed and quickly left without saying a word.

"Um... good evening, Enochie, are you taking a walk here too?"

Valensa gave Enoch a forced smile, her feet constantly backing away.

Enori didn't speak, and her expression didn't change at all.

Normally this is impossible; what maid would dare to ignore a nobleman's greeting?

Unless she had already received her master's orders.

Therefore, the carriage was definitely not empty.

"...Goodbye, Enori, please give my regards to Tia."

Valensa considered many options in a few seconds, but ultimately decided that leaving was the best course of action.

If I just pretend I don't know Tia is in the carriage, and then use my charm and cuteness to get away with it, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Enori, who graduated from the elite corps of the War Academy long ago, is definitely more capable than me, but I can still escape this distance if I'm focused on running away!

With that thought in mind, Valensa activated the effects of her military boots the moment she turned around, and at the same time used her mental power to enhance her speed, intending to run far away in one go.

Unfortunately, she had only taken one step when she suddenly felt her body become heavy, her left side felt tingly and numb, while her right side felt weak and powerless as if it had been drained.

This is……

Before her face made intimate contact with the ground, Valensa finally saw that there were nine magic cards in three sets of three, shining faintly on the walls beneath her and to her left and right.

Only then did an angry voice come from inside the carriage:

"You think you can run away after I caught you red-handed? You really think you can get away with whining and pleading afterward? Humph, you're just a shameless idiot... Put her in the car, Enori, and remember to tie her up."

"Yes, Miss."

The red-haired maid finally made a move.

She appeared beside Valensa in an instant, crouched down with a soft, cool rope in her hand, and whispered in Valensa's ear:

“Excuse me, Miss Bader. This is not a personal matter; I must obey the young lady’s orders.”

Valensa was unable to resist, and the cold, soft rope quickly bound her up, in the kind of binding where the more she struggled, the tighter the rope became.

After tying Valensa up, Enori collected the magic cards around her before carrying Valensa back to the carriage with one hand and placing her inside.

"Humph!"

A small, white-stockinged foot, still carrying a faint scent of milk, stepped on Valensa's face:

"Let's go back to the academy."

Chapter 32 It's this kind of thing, I don't believe a single word you say.

"Waaah, Tia, I was wrong, Tia, don't be angry, let me explain!"

With things having come to this point, further resistance and denial would be futile, so Valensa could only beg for mercy.

She had actually broken free from the effects of the triple magic trap of gravity, weakness, and paralysis, and could easily break free of the rope binding her.

But Valensa showed no sign of breaking free, still writhing on the carpet in humiliation, trying her best to turn her head to kiss the white-stockinged feet stepping on her face.

"Yeah~~"

The sudden attack on the soles of her feet made Tia blush slightly and let out a cute sound.

But she quickly became angry, raised her foot and stomped on Valensa repeatedly, her white-stockinged feet raining down on Valensa's back, waist and legs.

"Hmm~~"
