Chapter 180. Side Story 9. Unexpected Fit
Ronasso appealed earnestly with his eyes to the rushing Theo, but she did not hear his plea.
Although Theo was said to be a pretty good fighter, she wasn’t strong enough to defeat the 1st Knights Commander, Ronasso.
In fact, they were at the same level in the past, but not now.
Unlike Ronasso, who trained all day, or watched the training, Theo couldn’t do so because of the king’s work.
Nevertheless, he had to admit that Theo’s skills were much better than most of the knights.
Her swordsmanship and spearmanship were just that, but she would make a good knight if she was a king.
Therefore, Ronasso was very burdened with Theo, who rushed to his death.
He was afraid to hurt her if he used 100 percent of his skills. Ronasso exclaimed as if frustrated.
“It is not right to avenge me for being harassed by the high priests, Your Majesty.”
Ronasso did his best to dodge the attack and appealed once more.
Theo’s face contorted even more harshly at the mention of the priests.
“Ugh, it’s frustrating!”
“Yes, it is. It can be annoying enough.”
Theo, who was holding her breath at Ronasso’s soothing words, gritting her teeth.
“They go round and round, uh, they say I should get married, uh!”
Today it was a high priest, but a few days ago, it was the courtiers, and before that, the ministers of each ministry were in an uproar.
It had been more than three years since Theo ascended to the throne, but there was still no official record, and she did not even show the will to marry.
A king without a companion, let alone an heir.
Any subject who ate the country’s stipend was sensitive to the king’s marriage.
They were clamoring for a marriage as soon as Theo returned as they were stimulated by Tanatos’s sudden collapse, and they had been since last year.
“Is there a law that says that the heir must be my son? There are already more than ten members of the royal family, can’t they choose one of them?”
Theoransha spat out some pretty shocking remarks without hesitation. It was Ronasso who was surprised.
“I’m listening, Your Majesty.”
“Huh! Tell them to listen. After all, I said it before.”
“Aigoo, Your Majesty.”
Amor was a country where the king had many things to do.
It was a country in which the king had to direct battles and wars from time to time, as well as general rule, if necessary.
Because it was a country where the idea that the authority and power of the king was accompanied by obligations throughout the country, she could not see the affairs of the country with tyranny and negligence.
As a result, the king’s ability naturally became important.
Theoransha had many brothers and sisters, but it was for this reason that Theo sat on the throne.
Of course, Theo’s ability was greatly influenced by the two talents she possessed, but…
“Damn it!”
Sweat dripped down Theo’s neck and waist.
At first glance, it looked like they were competing on equal footing, but Ronasso was skillfully avoiding all of her attacks.
In her wrath, she purposely hit and vented her anger, but she was never pushed aside.
She was upset about it, but she was also proud of it.
No matter what, the commander of the 1st Knights of Amor must not be weaker than the king who only had meetings every day.
Still, the desire to win was unavoidable, and Theo couldn’t stop her movement.
There was a reason why the frustration that had built up in her was not completely resolved.
Ronasso, who was flexible in dealing with her attack, added hesitantly.
“But, Your Majesty, isn’t national marriage also the king’s duty?”
Immediately, a sharp kick flew in.
His arm, which blocked Theo’s attack, was quite tingling.
Theoransha’s dark gray eyes gleamed bloody beneath her disheveled maroon hair.
“Don’t try to tell what I already know. Don’t you see that I’m angry after hearing the same thing over and over again, Ronasso?”
Even if it was a friendly match, it was a one sided fight in the end.
At first, the two people, who were dealing with each other mainly in the court martial arts, were increasingly fighting each other, and their attire was becoming more and more messy.
The training clothes were worn loosely and with a belt around the waist.
“Why do you keep procrastinating if you already know? It’s unlike you, Your Majesty.”
Ronasso, who had been roughly hit by Theo’s attack on his shoulder, stalled time and tidied up his clothes, further nagging her as if frustrated.
“And it’s not something you can’t avoid just because you don’t like it, is it? If you’re going to do it anyway, isn’t it better for Your Majesty to get it done quickly?”
“Noisy. What do you want me to do when there is no suitable opponent?”
“What do you mean you don’t have a suitable opponent? I heard that there are more than 20 candidates who the nobles are scrambling for right now?”
“It’s all bad.”
Theo hit Ronasso’s head a few more times as if she was annoyed, but he didn’t care.
He tightened the king’s clothes and continued to nag.
“Really? There’s no good ones? I thought they were thoroughly selected…… .”
“Noisy. No, but what are you doing? Even if my shirt opens, my chest doesn’t come out all the way, it’s so annoying.”
“I’m annoyed. As a servant, I can’t keep looking at your flash, can I?”
‘…What’s bothering you?’
Theo’s eyebrows twitched at Ronasso’s words.
‘Oh, this bastard’s snout.’
Ronasso sighed and shut his mouth tightly and pretended not to know, but it had already angered Theo.
“If you’re worried about seeing my bare skin, you’re in big trouble if you touch it. Isn’t that right?”
“No, I am not saying that…… “
Cold sweat, which did not come out even during the fight, trickled down Ronasso’s back. Theo took off her training suit in front of Ronasso as if she was alone.
Then, the thin undergarments that barely covered her chest and all her bare skin were exposed.
‘oh sh*t.’
As Ronasso stepped back, startled, Theo placed a hand on his waist with a stern expression on her face. She was firm for a royal woman, and her scarred body shone with sweat.
“If the enemy’s spy was a woman, would you care like that, Commander of the 1st Knights Barnes?”
“You can’t compare the enemy and the king together…”
“You have to be prepared for every situation. How do you know who the enemy is going to run into you?”
But this is different….
Ronasso kept retreating, but Theo jumped at him at once.
“Arhhh!”
Unable to touch her anywhere, Ronasso fled frantically.
“Why are you avoiding it, Ronasso? If it’s not something you can avoid, confront it.”
“It isn’t the same!”
Seeing Ronasso running away, Theo smiled as if she was amused.
“What’s different?”
Theo, who smiled coolly as one of her breasts was exposed, suddenly changed her expression and rushed towards Ronasso.
“Ah, my gosh! Your Majesty!”
While being vigilant, Theo’s body attacked Ronasso, and Ronasso had to hold her shoulders tightly so as not to be pushed by Theo’s momentum.
Her sweat-soaked skin felt bare under his hot palms.
Startled, Ronasso struggled to get away with his face stained red, but the more he did, the more their bodies
tangled up.
“Calm down, Your Majesty! Don’t take it out on me like this!”
“It’s not anger, it’s a match!”
“This is not a match if you look like this!! Ah, evil! No, no!”
“Noisy! Who dares to speak against the king?”
“No, no, that was my mistake… . Ahh!”
In fact, Theo knew that Ronasso was right.
It would be beneficial for her to get it done as soon as possible if it was a national marriage that had to be held anyway.
But Theo didn’t like it no matter how much she thought about it.
Marriage was a matter of entanglement of powers, and what would happen as a result had to be prepared with considerable preparation.
She was more tired of knowing that she had to check things like the struggle for power as a king in front of people, and the work behind the scenes.
But this was not the decisive reason.
‘Sh*t.’
Theo was reluctant to mix flesh with her strategically connected opponent.
In particular, for the Amorites who were passionate about love, arranged marriage was not a very welcome form of marriage.
In a way, Theoransha was also a typical Amorite, so she didn’t like arranged marriage even more.
Moreover, she was a woman even though she was a king, so she had to deal with pregnancy in the future.
During her reign, her partner’s position was left with a vacancy that forced her to be more cautious.
The partner had to be reliable enough to entrust the affairs of the country on her behalf, not just mixing flesh, but the partner had to be weak and strong enough to support her and yield when necessary.
These conditions she was considering were more difficult than she thought, so it was not difficult to choose a suitable opponent.
“Ahhh!”
Taking advantage of the moment when Theo was lost in her thoughts, Ronasso quickly turned her body under his.
In the blink of an eye, she was under him and he was staring down at her while his arms wrapped around her.
“Now, will you stop, Your Majesty? Lunchtime has already passed.”
Ronasso, who had Theo’s arms tightly bound as she struggled, gave Theo a grin. At that moment, Theo’s eyes widened.
