I’m Trapped in a Bloody Reverse Harem Game - Chapter 11
Nothing unusual happened. I was a little disappointed, leaving the aphrodisiac on the table and getting up. Just then, I heard a knock on the door.
“Haniel, this is Giorro, in charge of your etiquette lessons.”
“Hello, Mr Giorro. I look forward to working with you.”
“Yes, haha. It’s a bit cold. May I ask for a cup of tea?”
As soon as the etiquette teacher came in, he spoke. Here, etiquette points are determined based on my abilities. I had to perform well to reduce the training time. I answered him with a polite smile.
“Of course, sit here, Mr Giorro.”
There’s nothing more boring than etiquette class in this game. I moved my hand carefully. He smiled contentedly as I handed his tea gracefully.
“How wonderful.”
[Excellent tea ceremony skills! Time taken to complete etiquette training is 5 hours!]
Brilliant. There were also grades higher than this, but this was good enough. I smiled and thanked him.
“Thank you, please eat.”
“Oh, this… Haniel, is it okay if I put this in my tea?”
“Yes?”
Giorro did not drink the tea as it was, but showed interest in the aphrodisiac placed in the corner of the table. It was the same color as a health recovery potion, so he must have mistook it for a healthy item.
“Wait!”
Before I could stop him, he poured the aphrodisiac into his tea and began to drink it.
Hey, you’re in charge of etiquette. Why are you eating other people’s aphrodisiacs without permission?
I crumpled my brow and looked at Giorro. He swallowed the tea with the aphrodisiac and put the teacup down. His hands began to tremble.
His eyes flashed as he covered his mouth.
“Oh my god…!”
A strange sound came out of his mouth. Giorro jumped from his chair.
“Kyaaa! Mr Giorro!”
“Oh, my! Haniel!”
Giorro knocked over the table and jumped at me. He gasped.
“Th-This is your lesson!”
Don’t lie to me! Your job is to teach etiquette! I screamed as I shoved him in the chest. Help me!
As my scream continued, the door slammed open. In fact, the half-broken door rattled.
“Haniel!”
“A-Ardal!”
“I’m teaching her, Mr Ardal!”
Ardal, who stormed inside, approached me as I reached out from under Giorro. He quickly pulled me up and looked at Giorro suspiciously.
“I’m teaching you. Why are you so surprised?”
“Tht-That’s…!”
Ardal hid me behind his back and questioned Giorro. I carefully grabbed Ardal’s collar and spoke.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have raised my voice, but I was surprised…”
“What do you mean you shouldn’t have raised your voice?”
Ardal, who was interrogating Giorro, asked stiffly. He clenched his teeth, angry.
“His Holiness doesn’t like it when I speak out… so I should do the same when Giorro teaches me, but it’s my fault.”
The Pope was someone who likes to bully. It is said that I would be punished if I spoke out, but in fact, the Pope preferred it if I were to speak out.
But the Pope’s taste was something I knew. For now, it’s better to speak like this to seduce Ardal. Ardal clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, perhaps noticing something in my words.
“…Did His Holiness say so, Haniel?”
I grabbed the hem of my clothes and nodded.
Ardal finally sighed deeply and spoke to the etiquette teacher.
“Get out.”
“Mr Ardal, I’m in charge of teaching Haniel etiquette now, so I need to be here.”
“I will personally speak to His Holiness. Please leave. From now on, I will be in charge of Haniel’s etiquette classes.”
Yay! It’s over!
I cheered with joy internally, On the surface, I blinked as if I didn’t know the situation. Only the person in charge of etiquette raised his voice, feeling unfairly kicked out.
“How dare you! This education is really important, Mr Ardal!”
Giorro exclaimed, twisting his legs. I stared at him, my eyes wide open.
Yes, it didn’t matter that much. If he hadn’t taken the aphrodisiac, the class would’ve gone without any incidents. It’s not like I couldn’t control it.
Ardal shook his head firmly.
From the first time we met, Ardal had been subtly confronted with misleading situations. Just like the first meeting, I secretly smiled behind him as I saw him push the etiquette teacher away to protect me.
Ardal’s method of attack seemed to be to protect Haniel.
A true knight. I’m not sure if I should say that to him.
“I said that I would be in charge of training. If you don’t leave right now, all the fingers you put on Haniel…!”
Ardal, who spat out those words, glanced at me. His harsh words stopped halfway.
“Ardal?”
As I tilted my head strangely and called his name, he continued in a slightly calmer tone.
“…I think my intentions have been fully conveyed at this point.”
“I’ll report this to His Holiness right away. I can’t believe Ardal took away my right to teach.”
“Go ahead.”
The etiquette teacher slammed the door and disappeared. He looked at the rattling door indifferently, then slowly turned. Sharp eyes looked at me and softened.
He pursed his lips, not knowing what to say. He finally opened his mouth.
“Haniel, do you know how much training time was allocated?”
“Yes, I heard it was twenty hours.”
I answered calmly. Twenty hours was the time allocated if you got the lowest grade.
Ardal gave a low sigh when he heard me.
“Ha… Twenty hours…”
