I’m Not the Final Boss’ Lover

Besides, the look on his face as he stared at me was shameless. If he knew how handsome he was and was trying to get me to go along with it, he had miscalculated.

I revealed my ridiculous innermost thoughts without addition or subtraction.

“It’s just a goodbye.”

“You never asked me if I was okay, but you’re saying goodbye to him?”

“No, when did I… Don’t tell me you’re talking about when I was attacking dungeons while leveling up the special forces for a while?”

Meyer snorted as if he didn’t even remember like he was some thief. I clucked my tongue low at his shameless attitude.

“Why has the Commander sulked so much?”

First of all, the first thing to do was to let go of the hard feelings.

I approached Meyer, who was pouting and poked him in the arm, which seemed thicker than my thigh.

“Are you angry because I didn’t ask you how you were?”

“… I don’t get angry at you.”

“I think you’re angry.”

“No.”

Meyer furrowed his eyebrows and shook his head.

“Really?”

However, as I drove Meyer to be angry again and again, his momentum, which he had been affirming at first, began to subside and shrink.

“… it’s an illusion if I seemed angry. I didn’t get angry at you. I was…”

“Hmmm. Okay. I understand. So that’s it.”

“It’s not like that. It’s really not.”

When I didn’t accept it easily, Meyer grumbled and stuck.

On the other hand, he seemed to have no idea how he came to be in a position to explain himself.

At first, I’m sure he thought he had the upper hand over something I didn’t ask about…

I laughed at Meyer, who was puzzled by the sudden change in the game but desperately making excuses.

While enjoying this monumental moment of Meyer listening to my mood, I belatedly realized that the expression of the Black Knights looking at us was not good.

On second thought, we did not set an example as Commander and Vice Commander.

I smiled awkwardly and pushed Meyer out.

“Okay, stop now.”

“Do you really know? If you feel like I’m angry, then…”

“I understand.”

Feeling a little embarrassed, I tried to shut him up in a hurry.

However, he was not a Meyer Knox who cares about others’ eyes.

He persisted with me to hear a definite answer that he had never been angry, regardless of how others saw it or not.

After struggling for a long time to get rid of such a Meyer, I could barely get on my horse.

‘Sigh, I raised the situation like this in the first place, so there is no one to blame… Why did I do that even though I knew Meyer’s personality…’

Why did I do that? Honestly, it was good to see Meyer shrink while looking at me.

I had nothing more to explain myself as I set fire purely for my pleasure.

While contemplating my wrongdoing alone, Axion sneaked up on me and fueled the fire.

“Now the performance report is over, right? Am I being abandoned as a fake lover?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Oho, you can be honest with me. I was for camouflage after all, wasn’t I? A smokescreen between you and the Commander… I understand everything.”

“No, that’s not it!”

“Heuk, I’m just being used.”

He pretended to cry as if he were hurt, but he seemed to tease me everywhere.

I looked sarcastically at Axion, whose face was buried in his sleeves.

“You’re having so much fun right now, right?”

“Did you get caught?”

What was caught? There was nothing to hide from the beginning. The edge of his mouth twitched up, or maybe he was lying somehow.

Axion, who raised his head, had a cheeky smile.

He was determined to go to the dungeon he was supposed to go to in exchange for his lover’s act in the dungeon in the Minor Forest.…

Even by making fun of me like this, it was clear that he was trying to make ends meet. Axion continued to grunt like a mosquito squealing next to me. It was a very brave talent to be able to act like this while driving a horse.

Unable to endure, I took extreme measures.

“If you tease me like this, I’ll kiss you.”

“Pardon? What?”

“I’m going to kiss you. Don’t think I can’t do it. I really stick to my word.”

“Are you crazy? Are you going to kill me?”

Axion, who had been hovering around me a moment ago, turned a dead color and moved away.

Now I feel like I have a little personal space.

Axion glanced quickly in Meyer’s direction.

I didn’t even bring it up to Meyer, but Axion seemed convinced that Meyer would kill him if I kissed him.

Fortunately for Axion, Meyer seemed to have not heard the conversation on this side because he was talking to August.

I easily pulled the reins of the horse and scolded Axion.

“So stop it.”

“You two are really dating, right? Otherwise, how can you use such shameful threats at will?”

Axion trembled.

To what extent. I shrugged.

“I know. I’m not really dating the Commander, but I’m surprised that this could be a threat.”

“Lie. Is a surprised person so natural?”

“There’s been a lot of cases so far. I’m just following inductive reasoning.”

“Ughhh…”

Axion’s mouth, which would only float even if he fell into water, was closed. I heard a small toast of victory.

But it was definitely weird.

I was so accustomed to Meyer’s strange and twisted obsessive checks and balances that for a while it didn’t seem like a big deal, but it wasn’t a normal and positive relationship by any means.

It’s obvious that Meyer doesn’t see me romantically, since he gave me a definite answer, but why does he act so sensitive to the men around me?

Even if that’s the case with Tragula and Fabian, it’s not like he has to be wary of Axion, Nova, or even August once in a while…. We have to conquer dungeons!

I couldn’t figure out what the hell the process was.

Just then, my eyes met Meyer’s, who was glancing in my direction.

As soon as he saw me next to Axion, Meyer’s forehead crumpled.

‘At this point, it’s basically a spinal reflex…’

Meyer turned his head abruptly to the side as if he didn’t, but his first reaction was so quick and clear that he seemed incapable of hiding it.

Anyway… Before, Meyer had been insecure about my true intentions, and I thought that would be the case, but didn’t I also stamp my relationship with Fabian, who he cared about the most, as a catastrophe?

If I have a chance later, I’ll have to talk again about his being too sensitive around me.

As soon as possible.

Even though I turned my head, I clicked my tongue quietly as I saw Meyer staring at me continuously.

But I had something to do before that.

As soon as we arrived at Nokentoria Castle, I immediately began organizing the Black Knights from generation to generation.

It was something I had been waiting for since I took office as Vice Commander.

It was inevitably postponed due to the level-up of the special unit and preparation for the performance report, but there could be no more delay as I thought there might be a spy for Countess Nerus in the Black Knights.

‘I’m glad Tragula told me about this now… I could have been in danger if he hadn’t.’

It wasn’t that I was particularly worried that inside information would leak out.

It didn’t matter that only a trivial amount of word-of-mouth would get passed around, since only Meyer and I knew what was really important, and the next most important information was shared only by the elite.

However, it was difficult for a spy to approach the special unit with malice.

The special unit would stay in the dungeon for most of the time anyway but still had to stop by Nokentoria periodically.

‘It’s a problem if they approach them in the meantime and use them for no reason. They’ll get hurt.’

According to the results of this debriefing, it became apparent that the special forces had not yet been trained much in human-to-human malice.

However, I have no intention of training them up.

The Demon King will be defeated in a few years anyway, so there will be peace…

Perhaps it was because I was worn out after rolling around, but I hoped that the special forces would remain as pure as possible.

Anyway, now was the right time to deal with the spy.

Tragula was supposed to have said goodbye to Countess Nerus now, so I had to make my move before Countess Nerus gave any orders to the spy after that.

It also deceived even the rotten tangerine.

I checked the list that Tragula had culled as suspicious.

Of course, I can’t believe everything Tragula said, but there was no reason not to.

All the people he nominated were similar to each other. In short, they were inconspicuous.

Of course, some of them had made achievements within the Black Knights as well.

However, I did not have any unfinished business that would make me doubt the authenticity of Tragula.

In the middle of organizing the members of the order in such a way, a backlash finally occurred.

“Why in the world do you want me to leave the Black Knights?”

The one who raised their voice was an agility-centered melee dealer who used twin swords from the Yellow Lightning unit.

I had seen her face a few times, as I had gone with her to the results briefing.

“I understand that the Black Knights need to be reorganized. Those who lack performance are not needed for the Black Knights. I agree with everyone. But it’s not me!”

She raised her voice as if it were very unfair.

“I worked really hard for the Black Knights. Is this the price of constantly closing the dungeons on the side with the unit captain as a member of the Yellow Lightning unit?”
