Level 0 Master - Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Vol.1 – Episode 20

“Forget about this, and just train more. I will come up with a winning strategy.”

“Yes, Sungjin.”

Ereka smiled brightly with tears in her eyes.

“Great.”

A tail sword hiding behind the pillar was flapping.

“If you guys heard it all, come out. That was my answer.”

Answered Sungjin. Jenna came out with a laugh Rittier came out awkwardly.

“Sungjin oppa. Thank you for protecting the princess.”

Jenna held his leg and rubbed her face.

“Sorry for being immature.”

Sorry that I knew that it was wrong but I had to ask you.

Sungjin pat Jenna as if he heard Jenna’s thoughts.

“It’s ok. You are a child, so be a child..”

‘Ah…Sungjin oppa… you are… the best.’

He was someone who really deserved the princess and Jenna.

“How did you…? I told you that was it…”

“We didn’t mean to disturb, but we were way too worried…”

“Hehehe. Sungjin oppa is the best! You gave us hope.”

Her tail sword flapped.

Rittier nodded.

“That… that is… leave us alone! You are disturbing Sungjin to work on his strategy. Leave us now.”

Ereka shouted with embarrassment.

Did you guys catch that I’m in love with Sungjin…? I didn’t say it out loud, so you guys don’t know… right?

“Then Sungjin. Make yourself comfortable.”

Ereka ran out as if she had to avoid him.

“Thank you, sir Sungjin. I’m amazed that you are giving us hope while we thought it was all lost.”

She heard Rittier’s voice thanking Sungjin.

“Sungjin oppa. I count on you for the princess!”

Jenna’s word made Ereka blushed.

Count… count what….! Oh my god.

Her offer was refused. But she got home instead.

Chapter13

The next day, while cooking with Jenna and head maids, Ereka came up with an idea.

“So… everyone.”

“Yes, your highness.”

“Since Sungjin is working hard to find a strategy in this difficult moment, i want to find a way to provide some kind of entertainment, any idea?”

Entertaining a royal guest was nothing special. Jenna twisted her tail sword looking at Ereka blushing talking about such an everyday thing.

“Your Highness. Why don’t we take time and take a break to find an idea?”

“Oh, yes it is quite late. Let’s take a break.”

“I will go and wash my hands.”

Stepping out, Jenna gave a sign to the maids. Maids understood and followed Jenna.

After a moment after a break, Jenna stood in the corner, holding the handle of the hammer as if it were a microphone. A tiny wind spirit stone was on it. And on the other end, maids were listening.

Maids reported to Ereka.

“We were brainstorming, there were two things heroes enjoyed historically.”

“Two things…”

“The first is the glory of defeating strong enemies. But that is on the battlefield.”

“Then the second…”

“Wine and dine while enjoying beauties. That is the entertainment between battles.”

“Beau… Beauties…”

Ereka blushed even more.

“But… Sungjin… said he didn’t want to take me as a reward…”

“Not as a reward also means that he enjoys it. That’s why it can’t be a reward.”

“But… he said he was too busy training had no women.”

“That is a good thing. But that also means if he were not busy, he would have dated some. There’s no hero who doesn’t want beauty. It is just a question of his attitude to do what he wants or respect others.”

It was scripted but made sense. All maids agreed anyways. And they were royal maids, unlike regular maids, they had power.

“That makes sense.”

Ereka agreed and nodded.

“The late king who was told to be too busy taking care of state affairs to do anything else, yet he had five women.”

“Right… Unlike a king, he had only a few women.”

Five official queen and concubines. They had no idea how many he took just for entertainment.

“He is a rightful person to say he didn’t want a reward. But if you provide him out of your love, he would enjoy it as well.”

“Lo…love!”

Ereka suddenly shook her arms.

“No. Not like that… I just wanted to entertain him… as a king… because he is working too hard…”

“Them we will pick the young ones…”

“No!”

Said Ereka, but dropped her face when maids looked at her as if they already knew. Now her forehead and ears became red and she looked like an apple.

“What I mean… is…that…”

“It’s ok your highness. Strong and ambitious, but also who protects others, he is truly charming. And also he helped you a few times, it is natural that you fell for him.”

“… is it ok? We are at a risk… I need to protect the kingdom from the blood ruler… is it ok…a ruler falls in love…”

“That’s wrong. We want you to be happy since you are the one who always takes our happiness in front of yours. I always felt bad that you are always sacrificing yourself.”

“Humm…”

Ereka liked what she was hearing.

“It sounds calculated, but a strong man like Sungjin and the princess become lovers, which means it will be safer for us. It is great as a girl but also a great thing to do as a king. Don’t worry about anything else, but get his love.”

“Ok.. that… makes sense.”

Ereka nodded.

Jenna nodded her tail sword.

Great, everyone is following the script. Huh, my princess, don’t worry. I will do everything to connect you, to make coincidences, to deal with other concubines… everything for you.

“I will tell you the secret, take Sungjin’s heart.”

“What should I do?”

“Come closer.”

Maids whispered into Ereka’s ear. Ereka became burning red. It almost seemed like her face was burning.

“How can I… do… such a thing!”

“Those are common knowledge as a royal princess. Since ancient history, taking men’s heart to protect the kingdom was the best practice of the princesses.”

“That… that…”

“Your Highness was too busy training as a knight, we had no chance to tell you the truth. But now you are already 17. Half of the princesses from other kingdom are already married.”

“But I gave up being a girl to protect the kingdom…”

“To protect the kingdom, the wedding is more important. You need to understand it. Look.”

Maids dropped books from their robes. Some had titles only, but some had a naked couple making love on the book cover.

“This is from the east, this is Samatra’s secret technique from the south. And this is from your ancestors. And this is…”

“Be .”

“People study discreetly but there’s a reason why people called this bible or the secret bible and handed from generation to generation. In the east, they said the union of man and woman is a union of heaven and earth, and the genius writer Atres said heaven is in the union of man and woman. Queen Artina said how women treat men can change the destiny of the world. It is important.

“But this is too much. Take it away.”

Ereka stopped them.

“Yes, your highness.”

Maids stepped back.

* * *

After 15 minutes, while cutting an onion in silence, Ereka asked a question.

“So…”

“Yes, your highness.”

“…but… really… something like that… guys… like… girls…do… so… Sungjin will like it… if I do…?”

Listening to stuttering Ereka, Jenna had tears in her eyes.

Oh… my princess. I was always worried. But you are showing courage in front of love.

“Of course.”

“Really…? He… would… like…?”

“Regardless of social class, nationality, race, age, enjoying women have been the biggest entertainment of men from ancient history.”

“Is… is it?”

“There’s no shame between lovers, and there’s nothing you can’t do for your lover.”

“Well… yes…”

“Without love between man and woman, you were not born, and there was no world. This is a discrete but very natural thing to do.”

“Yes… you… are… right… but… I’ve been swinging weapons in armors… I’m not sure if I can do such a thing…”

“Your Highness. You are old enough.”

“You… you are right.”

“Moreover, you love Sungjin, and you want him to love you back? The one who wants need to try hard.”

Listening to the question, Ereka stayed in silence for a while.

But finally, she nodded slowly. There was no way to lie to her true self.

“Ok. I will try.”

“You are making the right decision. But since it is your first time, you don’t need to know all the techniques.”

“Huh…? That… that is… It was difficult to make up my mind.”

“Being shy and unskilled is a virtue of a virgin. If too good, the man would be rather disappointed.”

Maids answered with smiles. Ereka realized that they tricked her and started to blush

We wanted to see how determined you were. Once it is done, come back to use. Thater is so many secret techniques we need to share with you.

“Oh… you guys….”

Ereka said almost crying.

“But I will tell you something else.”

“Something else?”

“How to make a man want you and show your mind to the man discreetly. You shouldn’t be too easy but not too difficult. You need to show him your mind discreetly, we will tell you how to do it.”

“…Can I trust you this time?”

“Yes, you can..”

“Are you sure…?”

“I promise you. But you should start your practice now.”

And it was a difficult and embarrassing practice for Ereka.

Oh my god… this is… already… this difficult… the secret technique would be…

Ereka blushed

But if we get married and… if… Sungjin likes it…

Then…

It would be a duty as a wife to learn the thing…

If that makes him happy… I want to do….

… But… that… I would think of it… then…

She couldn’t think of it anymore so she washed her face with cold water.

* * *

The next evening, Ereka talked to Sungjin.

“Sungjin, I know you are busy making a strategy. But I think It would be helpful to take a break. Would you like to go out to enjoy the landscape tomorrow?”

“Huh? Humm… you are right. Maybe it is a good idea to take a break to start again. Let’s do that.”

“Ok, I will prepare everything.”

“Ok, I will count on you. Thank you for taking care of me.”

“Don’t mention it. I’m glad I can do something for you.”

Ereka smiled brightly.

Her bright smile like sunlight made Sungjin lost his words. When a girl said such a thing and was innocently happy like this, a guy started to imagine things.

Humm, I should be careful.

The princess who was naturally seductive was dangerous.

And today, she was more seductive. Just like a flower calling for butterflies.

* * *

The next day, Ereka packed lunch and left with Sungjin.

“Enjoy your time.”

Rittier and royal guards saluted together.

When they were out of sight, Rittier ordered the guards.

“Today, the princess is going to walk around the mountain with Sungjin to spend some time together. You all know what to do!”

Said with fierce eyes like a lion, guards answered all together.

“Yes, sir! It is our duty to protect the princess to enjoy her time!”

“Ok! I order the perfect performance!”

Following Rittier’s order, guards scattered to the path to the mountain. There were guards who had been there for their morning shift.

“Today, the mountain is a restricted area. The princess has an event for a royal guest.”

They blocked the path and stopped everyone so that only Sungjin and Ereka would be there. It was a mountain belonged to the king but usually, it was open to the public. People wondered what was going on but as soon as the guards explained, they understood.

A picnic with Sungjin was an event for the royal guest.

Rittier was satisfied by the perfect movement of the guards.

Your Highness. I will protect you. So enjoy your time as much as you want to.

The old knight made an oath that he wouldn’t let anyone ruin the mood by passing by.

Next, to him, Jenna softly flapped her tail sword.

Haha. The old man is trying to help the princess in his own way.

That was a great support.

Hehehe. But that is not enough

An empty bottle was shining in her hand.

Today, I’m glad Sungjin oppa is Level 0.

Usually, potions wouldn’t work on high-level heroes.

Sorry. Sungjin oppa. But there’s no side effect. And Sungjin oppa is into the princess anyway.

Today was the day the princess’ dream would come true.

The princess deserves happiness. For sure.

Jenna softly flapped her tail sword imagining Ereka happy with Sungjin oppa.

Ah… how lucky she is… I wish I could do it… with Sungjin oppa… no… the princess needs to enjoy first.

Jenna also had a crush on Sungjin, but Sunjin had to be the husband of the princess. Her crush on Sungjin couldn’t shake her loyalty to the princess.

Sungjin quickly glanced Ereka while walking in the forest.

Big ivory hat and chiffon dress that dropped until her knees. Rattan basket that she was holding.

Her blond hair was reflecting sunlight and her beautiful smile on her face. And dancing like steps that she was making.

And her flowery body scent that he smelled with fresh forest.

Everything was in harmony to made her look lovely and cute.

Humm… really.

She was pretty when she was armed, and when she was wearing her royal gown as a princess.

But this kind of casual outfit was cute.

He was glad that he refused her offer to sacrifice. That was how he was enjoying this moment with her.

“Sungjin, why don’t we stop here?”

Ereka pointed a spot with a blooming flower next to it where they could listen to the stream and birds. The winter was moving away slowly.

“Ok. This is good.”

“Then let’s eat….”

Ereka set and opened the basket.

Ereka opened her 5 layered lunch box. The food spread delicious smell that made Sungjin hungry.

“Oh. Looks delicious?”

“I would be happy if you enjoy it.”

Sungjin picked up a meatball without hesitation. While chewing, he realized there was something more inside.

“Huh? Is this… did you chopped vegetables and mix it with the meat?”

“Yes.”

“That must be a lot of work.”

“I tried to make it tasty for you while providing all the necessary nutritional value in it.”

Ereka said touching her cheek shyly.

At first, she thought it was important to let him eat good food even if he didn’t like it. But now thinking she wanted to be loved, she worked more ideas.

“Thank you. I will enjoy it.”

“No. It makes me happy when I see you enjoying it.”

Ereka smiled but she wanted to jump with happiness.

Wow. I think she is happy. Making a new receipt with everyone was worth it.

Sungjin tasted everything. Ereka’s dishes were always great but this time, she made them with love, they tasted even better.

Before her dishes were exquisite cuisines, whereas this time, it was customized to fit Sungjin’s taste.

If I think of it… my mom used to mix veggies to make me eat them…

He had never thought he would have someone who thinks of him this much to prepare his meal like this. He was experiencing something he lost forever.

Sungjin finished lunch and thanked Ereka.

“Ah. I really enjoyed it. It feels different to enjoy a meal outside.”

“I’m glad you enjoyed it.”

“haha.”

“Do you have anything else you want to have.”

He finished the lunch including dessert and drinks. There was nothing left in the meal course, but Ereka asked if he wanted anything else.

“Tell me… anything. I will give you… anything.”

She said shyly putting her hands on her chest while blushing.

As if she was offering herself.

She subtly showed cleavage and her curvy body showed under her chiffon dress. Her scent was spreading like a flower inviting butterflies.

She said shyly but it was an invitation and a consent with grace.

If not excited, that would not be a man.

Moreover, Jenna added a potion in his food.

How… how would he react…

Ereka’s heart pounded

Sungjin stood up.

“Then… I want to have you.”

Said boldly, Sungjin’s strong arm held Ereka.

“That… that.”

“I didn’t tell you until now. But let me tell you. Now we are fighting against the blood ruler together, but even after the end of the war, I want to stay with you. Would you be my girl?”

He was too excited to be rational, but he was polite.

“Yes.. I… was… also… into you… Sungjin.”

She was too shy to look at him, but she answered.

The answer to her shy words was Sungjin’s passionate kiss. As if the politeness was just a cover before this.

“Ah…”

Without knowing, Ereka made a sound like a moan.

He was taking her whole body as if he was able to eat her up.

Lips. and then ears, cheeks.

Then her neck. And they even lower.

He pulled the dress and kissed her breast and waist.

The burning mark of passion heated her up.

Everywhere he touches, she felt like her skin was burning, but mysteriously, she felt joy instead of pain.

Unfamiliar and scary, but made her excited.

Ah…ah…

It was good if it was Sungjin.

It was good because it was Sungjin.

It was good only good for Sungjin.

It was scary, but she wanted it more.

I want to be his woman.

I want to be in his strong arms.

I want to become one with him.

“It’s ok. I’m really full. Should we take a walk?”

Sungjin answered to stop Ereka’s imagination.

“Huh…yeah…”

Ereka jumped up and turned around.

Oh my god. What was I thinking…

But I did everything they told me to. They told me that was what should happen if I act as they told me to.

What was wrong…

Did I make a mistake? Was I unnatural? I was scared but was kind of waiting for it.

It’s ok. I still have a chance.

But maids told her more methods.

Ereka told herself to try better.

After a while walking around the mountain, she worked on her second method.

“Sungjin. I will check if there are some wild fruits. Would you like to have a look on this side?”

“Huh? Sure..”

He answered as if it was a treasure hunt from his elementary school field trip. The only difference was it was not with school friends but with a beautiful princess

The time with here made this play special.

She held his breath after Sungjin disappeared through the forest. And…

She jumped into the water.

Splash.

“Ahhh!”

An awkward scream came out to all Sungjin.

“What’s wrong?”

When she saw Sungjin running out to check, Ereka slowly stood up in the water.

“Sorry. I slipped and fell into the water.”

Drip.

When she shook her blond hair, splashing water made a rainbow.

But the beauty of rainbow was tainted in front of her beautiful glowing skin.

Her wet dress showed her skin almost fully.

Her spotless skin and her perfect curve was an exciting invitation.

It was magic that she was wearing a dress but she showed almost everything.

Gracefully dressed, but seductively showed.

Even her underwear was wet and showed every shape that was hidden by it.

He blushed face was saying it was not her intention.

But the body was too charming.

The double charm excited man even more.

There was a natural question though.

Can a level 6 knight slip into the water?

Sungjin was beyond others, but he failed to ask that question.

“Well… if you look like that… I’m embarrassed.”

As if she was saying I’m a girl, Ereka blushed and covered herself with her hands.

Sungjin stopped her and pulled her.

“It’s ok. You are beautiful.”

“Oh…”

“I want to see more. Your everything.”

Sungjin moved impulsively.

He couldn’t think, he was following man’s instinct and pulled down her clothes that had already lost their function.

“Sung…Sungjin.”

“I want you.”

“That’s…”

“I was keeping it to myself but I can’t hide anymore.”

“… If… that… is what… you want…Sungjin… I would… love to…”

When Ereka consented, Sungjin started to move boldly.

When he undressed her, her bare naked body showed a beauty beyond description.

A pure fort that had never let a guy in.

But now, she was opening herself to love, and inviting him to come in to rule her.

It was fear but also a sensation

“Ah…”

His strong hand stopped her from covering herself.

“Don’t hide.”

Sungjin bite her breast. It was softer than freshly baked brioche, sweeter than strawberry jam.

“Yes… as you wish…”

She didn’t resist and followed Sungjin’s lead.

She wanted it if he wanted it.

But…

“Hum. You need to change. Do you have a change?”

Ereka’s daydream ended with Sungjin’s realistic question.

“Ah, I didn’t bring one. But the armor by heroic power has no limit in shapes… give me a moment, I can take care of it.”

“That is convenient. Ok. I will turn around”

“Ok.”

Ereka took off her wet dress. And sighed before she activated her heroic power to cover herself.

Even the second method didn’t work.

I tried everything as practiced.

Ha… what was wrong.

Was it such a difficult task that she couldn’t perfect it with few practices. Not having any reaction from Sungjin made her sad.

There was no hero who didn’t like a beauty.

There was a little difference in how much, but all the heroes she knew enjoyed having women.

The problem was some liked it too much and raped extra level women when they refused. But it was clear they enjoyed it.

But how to understand this when she was approaching while he didn’t react.

Maybe it was because Ereka was not a beauty.

Am I not good enough for you, Sungjin.

Now there’s only one method left.

The boldest and the most embarrassing one.

I came this far… I should try…

She had a feeling even that wouldn’t work though.

“I’m done.”

Said Ereka, and Sungjin turned around.

And he realized.

She didn’t have to wear a gown to be beautiful. She was beautiful in casual clothes.

A miniskirt that showed her thigh and a tight blouse that showed her breast line.

The clothing didn’t matter.

Her body was the key. Whatever she wore, it was clear that she was beautiful,

“I’m not used to activate anything but armor.”

“Huh? No. this looks lovely on you.”

“Thank you for telling me that.”

Smiled Ereka, approached Sungjin leaned on him.

“I’m cold and tired. Can I stay like this for a while?”

Her beautiful hair tickled his body. Her body scent embraced him. The touch of her skin gave electricity.

“Huh? Oh. Well. sure.”

He answered without thinking. It was a reflection.

“Thank you.”

Ereka approached him even closer.

“Hum… ok…”

Sungjin made a vaguely vacant voice, unlike his cool and intelligent self. He didn’t know where to put his hand.

Sungjin felt Ereka’s breath on his chest.

Is this working? Or not?

Ereka thought, maybe this time?

But Sungjin didn’t move his hand

Ha… ok… this is it. It’s not going to work.

When Ereka gave up, she suddenly relaxed.

All the fatigue hit her. After declaring war to the blood ruler, she didn’t have a chance to relax at all. And until today, she was training for this picnic, she didn’t have a break.

Once all the thought came to her, she fell asleep without knowing.

After a while, when she opened her eyes. she was sleeping on his legs. Sungjin was looking at her with a smile on his face as if he would protect her from any danger.

“Ha! I’m… I’m sorry!”

She quickly woke up and looked down.

“It’s ok. Rest more.”

“But I invited you for a picnic just to make mistakes and made you feel uncomfortable.”
