Can I Love You Sir?
episode 7's

the past of Carlie 2.

" ...so yes.means that commoners who have a lot of money can not buy clothes here? "

Bruk!!

feeling underestimated I put a large bag of cloth full of gold Coins that I got from selling all the remains of the monster carcass quite hard on the table.See the light of my shining gold coin, the, all of them including the store owner immediately served me well even served me tea and snacks that were only served to the upper class nobles only.

" h. this time the money won, right? they were all really disgusting. "my inner self was disgusted with those who were more concerned with money than humanity.

" humanity? they're even worse than all the monsters I killed.. "

after a few minutes, they all came while bringing me clothes that were quite crowded with exorbitant prices.

" please choose sir, all these clothes are made by very skilled and very great tailors.then the master must be very suitable with all these clothes. " the shop owner said with a business smile.

seeing that I stood up and walked towards all the clothes and said..

" no need for pleasantries, I know you must have intended to highlight me. ....made by a master tailor hm? it's ridiculous to see if I know you're cheating me now, if you don't bring me the clothes I really need right away, I'll make sure your store goes bankrupt within a week "I said coldly as I stared intently at the store owner.

" rather than good, it's rather very tacky. really disgusting. "my mind feels disgusted at the sight of all these over-crowded clothes.

they were all scared and immediately brought me clothes that I really deserved to wear.

" ultimately, there are human clothes as well" I said with a smile.

hearing my words the shopkeeper looked very upset, maybe because I was the first to say that or was his pride so trampled because of my words? whatever it is I don't care.

after being satisfied to try out some clothes, I also bought all the clothes they showed me ah, except the tacky clothes earlier.

" we are cheap and I don't want to buy. "

long story short I got into the knight squad, playing an active role in various wars until finally I was given the title as Duke Eagle and was appointed as a new Sword Master as well as a warlord who was respected by many people.

then during the war I just found out that in this kingdom there is a girl who looks like a Saintess. that girl really worked hard during this war, I was treated once by her and it turns out she really is just a girl who has a little child look, roughly the age of the girl around 17 to 19 years.

when he was treating or sanctifying a place, he would whistle while praying wholeheartedly, then his golden hair would shine and expand.

I liked it most when he felt desperate when he failed to heal a soldier who was badly wounded by the war, because at that time I was reminded again that all humans are just someone who will die, sooner or later, I also felt disgusted by her who continued to try to heal those who had been seriously injured, so badly that they were no longer helped.

" why are you still healing her? though he will soon die.your strength will be wasted in vain. "my inner seeing from a distance.

the tears that came down from her purple eyes that looked like that gemstone, really looked very beautiful.but, why is it that the more I look at her cry the more I hate her? it was as if I didn't want his purple eyes to continuously drop a huge amount of clear grains just because it kept failing in treating a dying human.

" ah. I hate this feeling.the feeling of wanting to protect something very precious. "my mind is irritated by what I feel.

without me noticing that I was watching her from a distance, the girl was quite attractive especially when she smiled. once upon a time there was a knight friend of mine who was wounded by an enemy attack and the girl appeared and immediately treated him.

" hey, why do you always treat everyone who's hurt? I know it's your job, but you're even treating people who are hard to help anymore. either you're too good or you're doing it on purpose to get compliments from the knights. "

" ...is it wrong if someone wants to save someone else? " ask her without taking her eyes off my wounded friend.

" no. that's not wrong, but, has it been the one time you've saved them? "

the girl was silent.The look on her face looked sad, is it possible that my words just now hurt her enough? but I'm just saying what I saw.

" right. I did indeed continue to fail in treating those who were severely injured with my holy power, I really sincerely healed them even though I knew that it was a futile effort. "

hearing that I felt guilty, because I shouldn't have said the thing that made this girl's spirit disappear.

" i'm sorry, I really don't intend to make you sad, I just feel like you're wasting too much of your holy power. "

the girl turned around and looked at my face and said..

" you're apologizing yet, why doesn't your face look at all guilty? "

" because what I said is nothing wrong and a fact" I said confidently.

the girl just looked at me without saying anything. Since then she so often approached me and we talked together, ah actually she is the one who often speaks and I just listen to her. well, having a talkative friend is not bad either.

" mister, do you know that master is a very attractive person? " ask the girl with a smile.

" no. but some knights once said so. "

" Hem, sir was the first person who made me feel comfortable" he said.

" ...don't expect too much from me, because I won't take responsibility for all your disappointments with me" I said.

" of course I know that, which is why I feel comfortable with you and hope to be with you next. "

" it's up to what you want to say, miss, but obviously I'm not interested in a troublesome relationship" I decided.

" Hem, what about friends? we can at least be friends, right? " ask her while smiling.

" i don't know, can it be? " i said smiling towards her.

we smiled together. To be honest, I have considered this girl as my friend since she kept looking for me to chat. Then unwittingly me and herself became dependent on each other.

as I said before, after the war was over I was given the title as Duke Eagle and was called as Sword Master and my position rose to the level that once was just an ordinary Knight now became a warlord. then I just realized that the girl had just been appointed a Saintess along with me.

" hem. "the girl smiled at me after the king raised her as a Saintess.

" why is he smiling like that? is he sick? " my mind is confused.

tonight is the night of the victory of the war and this is also the first time I have lived among the nobles, as long as I am here I realize that the life of the nobles was not very pleasant because, as I was saying, here is no different from the battlefield that I have been following because of my title and my position, a lot of people who try to approach me for their own sake.

" really annoying.. "

in the midst of the victory party, there was a very beautiful woman approaching me who was standing on the balcony enjoying the night breeze while drinking a glass of wine.

" it's a beautiful night tonight, isn't it? mr. Carlie "he said with a smile.

" mm? " i said looking towards her.

the beautiful woman immediately introduced herself politely to me, I don't know what her purpose was looking for me but, that woman was really pretty in her purple sleeveless Ball Gown dress, with a purple butterfly decoration that surrounds the bottom of her dress, as well as a strung hairdo that is decorated by one rose hairpin that is in line with her dress, then do not forget with a pair of long black gloves that he wears up to the elbow.it all really makes him more elegant.

" ...What made you come here lady? " ask me to the point.

" Hem, my name is Celestia Wolf Knight daughter of Aska Wolf Knight.It's nice to meet you Mr. Carlie." she said with a smile.

" ...I already know who you are Lady. Because Lady's beauty is already very famous throughout the continent.so, it's not difficult for me to recognize Lady. "my word again.

yes, it is true.I have known the identity of the woman since she entered here.The only female knight who has extraordinary beauty is in the royal knight army, the only female knight, the daughter of the war hero and the sister of the Ice Prince of the Wolf Knight family was Celestia Wolf Knight.she also took part in the war and was as active as me however, she was, I don't like it because..

" Hem.it's an honor to be recognized by you, young commander." he said with a smile.

" ...it's not something special. Speaking of which is there anything the lady wants to say to me so you're willing to take the trouble to come to me here? "

" yes, Mr. Carlie, your face is very beautiful and captivating to me. Therefore, will you be my concubine? I'll meet all your needs, so be my concubine" said the woman confidently.

you want to know my reaction? of course I was very surprised, how could he confidently say that to the person he just spoke to? isn't that too presumptuous.

" sorry, lady.however, I am not interested in your offer." I said firmly.

" why? do I not look beautiful in your eyes? "

" ah, this woman is really troublesome right. whereas I just want to live a quiet life. "my mind feels a little upset.

" lady, you're already beautiful. However, I'm not interested in that. so I hope you leave soon and next time never offer this again. " I said as I turned my face away from her.

" ...what if I were just my lover? " said the woman suddenly.

" mm? "

" be my lover even if only for a moment.I'm really interested in you. "

hearing that I turned to face him back of course with my flat expression, because from the beginning I was not interested in him.

" lady, you are so honorable.how can you make a commoner your lover? it was very undignified.better the lady dispel the lady's wishes before it was too late. "said I tried to refuse politely.

" i don't care as long as I can get you anything I'll do. "

Ah, this is why I hate this woman.she is so forcing her will, and most of all I hate she will definitely not let go of me just like that.

" i'm sorry, lady.but I'm not interested in you. Then excuse me and have a good night" I said walking away.

watching me go the woman kept on babbling trying to hold me back but, I still left without caring about anything the woman said.

" Carlie. I will definitely get you. " said Celestia clasping her hand tightly.

from that day on she kept following me like a dog following her employer. To be honest I was very uncomfortable with her presence, I kept trying to avoid chasing that woman anywhere and anytime until I felt so fed up.

BRAKK!!

" just enough Lady! stop following me like a lowly dog!! " i said as I locked her up against the wall with one hand I intended to scare her.

" but I like you so much.. Can't you date me? " he asked trembling.

" lady.if you want to date, date your concubines and stop messing with my life. "

" no. I don't want to go on a date with them!! I want to be like you!! "

GREBB!!

" Lady stop being childish. Then stay away from me because you're really very nauseating "I said coldly while pulling the neck of the dress she was wearing.

the woman was quite surprised by what I just said.the woman was immediately bowed and her aura looked unkind.

" well, from now on I will never approach you again for good" said the woman.

ah, have I gone too far? like she's gonna cry now.I have to finish this thing as soon as possible.

" lady, you've had a lot of concubines but why do you still want me? isn't that greedy? "

as if my body was frozen, this woman's touch reminded me of the mother who had gently caressed me just before she died in my arms.

" ...why should you. "my mind tightens my teeth holding back the upset.

BRAKK!!

" !!! Ca-Carlie..? "

" huh.the feeling that all this time, I wanted to forget now reappeared with her sassy.all because this woman.I..really disliked her. "my mind felt indignant.

" go away. I don't have the same feelings as you and I don't like you. Because it's gone from me and never come back, otherwise I'll kill you. " I said coldly as I stared at him sharply after hitting the wall hard above his head.

want to know the reaction? the woman was completely shocked and ran away from me with an expression I did not know, he returned to the party room and the woman immediately decided to go home with her father and brother.

I thought I'd never see her again, but a week after the incident at the Marquess Squirrel party the woman appeared again and followed me to the Marquess Squirrel park.

" ah. I'm really sick of it. "my mind is tired of its behavior.

after I treated him harshly I thought he would react like before, but it turned out I was wrong. he did not shed his tears and instead looked at me sharply, looking up at me, it really looks like a stranger.I also did not expect that now this woman would dare to challenge me after the events of that time.

" interesting.. "

seeing her who still had time to think about something else after putting a challenge on me, it turns out her presumptuous attitude is still attached to her. The woman immediately left after saying what she wanted.

" can humans change that fast? it's interesting. "my mind feels foreign to his attitude.

after a few minutes outside I went back to the party room and immediately approached the woman and said that I was accepting her challenge. After all, there is no harm in accepting a challenge from a lady right? think of it as a battle drill after all this time.

considering that she likes me so much, I tried to get her to dance, well, although it would be rude to recall what I did to her a week ago. the woman looked worried, it meant that my guess was right that she still liked me. I thought she would accept my offer however, I guess, it turned out that her conscious sister was staring at me intently as if to kill me it immediately rejected me firmly.

" sorry.but my sister can only dance with me tonight. Come on Celestia, let's go home. "he said as he carried the woman away with a very strong anger emanating from her.

the party was over and I went back to my house.

" welcome back sir. "greet Albert the butler and my confidant.

" hm. Albert, quickly prepare my bedroom, I'm tired" I said as I walked away.

" good, sir. "

while waiting for my bedroom to be laid out by the maid, I went to my study. I stood in front of the window by the seat I always used to work with a glass of wine in my hand while rethinking the incident I had just experienced.

tock, tock. kreet..

" mister, your room is ready. "

" ...Albert, do you think anyone can change in a week? "

" does anyone bother your mind, sir? " ask Albert.

" tomorrow I will duel with Celestia Wolf Knight. "

" !! ...why do you suddenly want to duel with him? "

" because I started it, and she didn't accept it until she challenged me to a fight and then she left after saying let's see who's the most disgusting here. "

" ...isn't that.. "

" strange, right? I feel so too. if anyone else I can understand, but that woman is Celestia. the woman who had been chasing me for half a year and then after I had rejected her outright a week later she had turned out to be a stranger. " said I who still felt strange with Celestia's behavior that was a little different from before.

" there is indeed a possibility that someone can change in an instant but, if the matter of romance I think it is too impossible to be able to forget someone we like in a short time" said Albert argued.

" you're right.it's too impossible for him to forget me in an instant. "

" in swordsmanship he is also quite an expert.. "

" mister, are you sure of this duel? "

" ...yep, but she's quite interesting now" I said as I stared at the full moon shining brightly.

the next day I was ready to solve my problem with the woman, when she got there it turned out that the woman still had not appeared at all.I waited for her to appear right in the duel arena, dueling, half an hour later the woman appeared in her dueling uniform and pigtailed hair.

" that beautiful person is indeed different huh. "my mind is staring flatly at Celestia.

finished giving a slightly irritating greeting, our duel began and we attacked each other with all our might without holding back in the slightest.

" well enough also his ability. "my inner being continues to fend off all the attacks of that woman.

2 Hours passed, the woman looked very tired her sweat continued to pour out from her forehead until her whole body was wet.

" has he given up? " my mind is staring at him from afar.

after gathering his strength for a while, the woman then looked at me sharply, in her eyes emanating a considerable amount of anger. without further ado the woman immediately let out her entire aura and concentrated her onto the sword that she held tightly.

" didn't he push himself too much? " my mind just looked at him.

the woman immediately attacked me suddenly, I immediately repelled her attack but the strength of the woman grew stronger along with her who continued to attack me.

" !! his strength..how could it be this strong?!! " my mind is surprised.

LAD!!!!

" !!! my sword.. "

my sword broke and I fell right in front of her, the woman's strength really did not play. After attacking me with full strength, the woman looked more helpless now. his body staggered as if he could fall at any moment before he actually fell the woman raised her sword, tore my clothes, then carved the abbreviation of his name right on my left chest. I don't know why he did it, but it was quite painful but, when compared to the pain I had felt all along, it was only limited to being bitten by an ant. after being content to slash my skin, she finally fell into my arms.The woman looked very tired, her breath was irregular and her sweat kept pouring out all over her beautiful face.

" he's good too.. "

shortly thereafter, her father, the Aska Wolf Knight, and others, came to us and Aska immediately seized Celestia, who was in my arms, and forcibly brought Celestia back to her residence to get treatment.

the woman was truly admirable, to the very end she was unwilling to give up. Like her I misjudged her..

unconsciously my smile expanded a little, and like her I began to be attracted to her.I also returned to my residence when I got there I got off my horse carriage and Albert immediately welcomed me.

" welcome sir. I've heard the news, you.. defeated huh? " said Albert hesitating.

" well, that's it. The woman was quite strong probably because she was more experienced in fighting than I was.. "

" !! sir, your chest "he said in surprise.

" ah. this, the gift given by the woman at the last moment" I said indifferently.

" should I call a doctor? "

" no need. It's just a small wound" I said walking away.

" well sir. "he said bowing.

I went into my house and went straight to my room because I was so tired.

" Albert, don't let anyone near my room because I want to be alone now" I said.

" well, sir. Then what about your lunch? "

" no need to prepare. I'm lazy to eat. " said I closed the door.

" well sir, good rest, "said nnya lowered her head.

" today too he deliberately missed his lunch, if this continues he can be sick. "inner Albert worried.

Albert walked away, while Carlie went to the front of a mirror that was as tall as a human to see the carving that Celestia wrote on her chest, finished seeing he immediately closed all the window curtains until his room looked very dark, then Carlie dropped herself on the bed with a prone position while hugging a pillow.

" mother.I miss mom." muttered Carlie as she closed her eyes.

today I really feel very tired.in the morning blind I finished my work as a master of the ruler, at 7 I dueled with Celestia, and at that time, I finished my work as master, later in the afternoon I also have to review the territory and the sword practice, the night I have to attend the dance. Every day I have to maintain dignity, oral, oral, and my charisma if not so there will be a lot of people who will reproach me. ah, I really want to stop being a noble only, but fortunately the problem this time resolved quickly, although not as expected but at least I have been relieved by that annoying burden.

" mother.. Carlie wants to catch up with mom. "the inner Carlie sinks her face into the pillow.

...****************...

in the afternoon I went to the Wolf Knight family residence of course after finishing reviewing my territory, and when there came a brown-haired, brown-eyed man in a light brown suit standing right in front of the entrance of the Wolf Knight's residence as if he were waiting for me. the man smiled and said..

" i know you're coming. Therefore, I'm waiting for you here" he said with a smile.

Not nothing I already disliked with her. Right, this guy who was smiling at me was Carlien she was one of the concubines that Celestia had. he was also the owner of the largest port.

tap tap tap..

" now, what's your purpose in coming here? want to sign up as his concubine or want to be his one-night love? choose one. "ask her as she approaches me and stands before me.

" ...I think you misunderstood me. I'm here because there's something I want to say to Miss Celestia. "

" i'm quite amazed that you're still not affected by the facial beauty that Miss Celestia has, how can you? is there someone in your heart? " ask her while smiling.

" ...I have no obligation to answer your question. I would like to meet Miss Celestia. Is she conscious? " my words are indifferent.

" Hem. it's a pity, however, our beautiful lady is still comfortable with her bed, to the point of not being bothered by anyone. Therefore, just like her you have to come back tomorrow. " he said while smiling kindly.

" i don't know why this guy sucks. "my mind doesn't like him.

without further ado, I immediately returned to my residence and left her there.

" are you leaving already? "

" it's none of your business to send greetings to anyone who wants to receive them. See you later." I said walking away.

karlien's smile expands with Carlie's departure, without everyone realizing today will be the beginning of Celestia's journey into a future she doesn't even know.

seriate..
