The story of the black silk female knight

"This……"

The bodyguard frowned, but didn't really doubt Valensa's words.

It's all too common for aristocratic men and women to book rooms and go on dates at this hotel, and quite a few of them are having affairs. The bodyguards are used to it by now.

"Didn't the young man who invited you give you a room key?"

The bodyguard didn't actually want to stop Valensa. If he were alone at the door, he would have let her go. Unfortunately, he had other colleagues with him, so he couldn't break the rules at will.

"No."

Valensa, on the other hand, remained very shy.

“He contacted me through letters. We hadn’t met in person before, and he hadn’t booked a hotel room yet… How could I possibly have a room key?”

"This……"

The bodyguard's brow furrowed even more:

"I'm sorry, miss, I didn't mean to spoil your wonderful date, but our hotel's policy is that you need a room key to enter and exit at night."

"So rigid?"

Valensa immediately frowned, looking like she was about to throw a tantrum.

The bodyguards all looked helpless. This was probably not the first time they had experienced something like this, but they still didn't have any good solutions.

They dared not disobey the rules set by the inn, but they were even less likely to offend the noble lady... Even if the noble lady was in the wrong from beginning to end, if a conflict broke out and something unexpected happened, it would definitely be these little people who would suffer in the end.

"How about this, Your Excellency..."

Another bodyguard came over and offered a suggestion:

"If it's convenient, could you tell me who the young man who invited you is? We can have a waiter go to the room to verify with him. As long as the information is correct, you can go in."

"asshole!"

As a result, Valensa suddenly became angry, her beautiful deep blue eyes filled with irritation:

"If you all knew about my relationship with him, would I have come here alone this late to meet him? What kind of bodyguards are you here? How could you make such a stupid suggestion?"

"This……"

The bodyguards exchanged glances, their wry smiles deepening.

What should we do?

"How about this."

After throwing a tantrum, Valensa gritted her teeth and, with an air of haughtiness and disdain, pulled out five gold coins:

"Go and get me a room, just pretend I'm staying here tonight... You idiots can use the extra money to go on a drinking spree."

That way you won't break the rules, and I can keep my appointment on time... Is that alright? You can't be so stupid as to not be able to handle something this simple, right?

"...Then so be it, Miss."

The bodyguards seemed to have long been used to tolerating the temperament of the noble lady. They were not annoyed by Valensa calling them idiots, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

While Valencia's method isn't entirely compliant with regulations, its enforcement standards are relatively lenient, making it the best solution at the moment.

Chapter 79 The female knight made a 'coo' sound.

First, make a request that the other party is unlikely to agree to, and then pretend to throw a tantrum after being rejected.

Then, when the other party shows a troubled expression, make a more lenient real request with an expression that says, "You can't even do this?" and you'll likely get through.

Valensa has used this method many times, and it has never failed her.

It's the same now.

The bodyguard who received Valencia's gold coin quickly went to help her check in, and the other bodyguards were also tactful and none of them offered to escort her to her room.

The ill-tempered noble lady is arguably one of the most troublesome customers in the service industry. Now that she has made it clear that she is in a hurry to go on a secret date, wouldn't following her be asking for trouble?

And so, Valensa successfully entered the hotel.

Although the cost of 5 gold coins was a bit painful for her, who wasn't exactly wealthy, as long as she could successfully join her best friend's team, she could use her best friend's things from now on, so it wasn't a loss.

The next step is to find out exactly which room my best friend is in.

Although Valensa's best friend didn't tell her the room number, Valensa wasn't worried at all.

Valensa had already made two preparations when she went to recommend herself to her best friend.

It would be best if she could successfully join the team, but Valensa didn't plan to give up easily if she failed. At the very least, she would pester her best friend for a few days.

To this end, Valensa activated her enhanced sense of smell, memorizing her best friend's scent. Now, she can easily find her best friend's room by following the scent.

The Britannia family hasn't declined, and her best friend hasn't fallen out with the family, so she must be living in the most expensive luxury suite area.

Thinking this, Valensa skipped the first four floors of the hotel's regular rooms and only started sniffing her nose after reaching the top floor, searching for her best friend's scent.

Sure enough, a faint scent of perfume and body odor wafted in the air, just like the one I smelled on my best friend at the bar.

Valensa was certain that her best friend lived on this floor, but she simply stood at the top of the stairs and observed, without making any rash moves.

Because the three elite students, two men and one woman, most likely also lived on this floor, and their room was right next to Valensa's best friend's room.

If you go directly through the corridor, they will likely spot you.

Judging from the fact that the female scout, dressed in a white silk bodysuit and studded with diamonds all over her body, was able to easily intimidate the others in the tavern, these three scouts must be quite strong. Valensa was not confident that she could hide it from them directly.

So Valensa turned around, took a few steps back, went to the window in the middle of the floor, opened the window, and jumped out.

The moment she leaped out of the window, she activated the multi-jump ability of her boots, and instead of falling, she jumped directly to the top floor of the hotel, firmly grabbing the windowsill with both hands.

"Waaaaah... Now I'm going to be mistaken for a female thief, just like my senior sister."

The feeling of having to do something bad made Valensa's heart race slightly, and she couldn't help but mutter something under her breath.

But this whispered mutter seemed to be overheard by the canine monsters trained by the bodyguards, and Valensa noticed that the bodyguard team of three people and one dog was walking in her direction.

At this point, it was highly unlikely that she could remain motionless whether she moved forward or backward, so Valensa had no choice but to stay still and activate her mental powers.

I can't see me, ......

The bodyguards quickly arrived below Valensa, stopped to examine her closely, and even the light-attribute magic crystals, which resembled flashlights, shone on Valensa, yet the bodyguards showed no reaction.

They saw nothing.

"Let's go, it's probably just someone throwing things out the window again, it's nothing."

One of the bodyguards quickly put away the light-attribute magic crystal and smiled at his companion.

The other bodyguards nodded in agreement, but the dog-like monster looked up with a puzzled expression.

Unfortunately, it was just a tamed monster and could not disobey its master's wishes. It was soon led away by the bodyguards.

Valensa breathed a sigh of relief and continued to track her best friend's scent, quickly pinpointing the window in her friend's room.

Without dispelling the invisibility enhancement from her mental powers, she slowly moved along the windowsill with her hands until she reached her best friend's window.

Oh wow~~

Valensa smiled when she saw the window that wasn't even locked from the inside.

Her best friend's gesture was definitely a secret signal; she was leaving the door open for Valensa.

"Tia? I'm coming in~~"

After whispering her best friend's real name, Valensa opened the window without hesitation, climbed over the windowsill, and jumped inside.

There was no response from inside the room, only the peaceful sleeping face and even breathing of the silver-haired, red-eyed girl on the large bed not far from the window.

In her own room, the girl naturally wouldn't pretend to be a man anymore.

"Fell asleep?"

Valensa was slightly surprised, but not too astonished.

Her best friend is a practitioner of the Dharma, who has loved staying up late to read since she was a child, and it's common for her to fall asleep while reading.

snort!

They clearly gave me a code to come, but they fell asleep before I even got there?

Valensa, as if possessed, climbed into her best friend's bed, reached out and pinched her nose, intending to wake her up as a prank.

"Humph!"

Suddenly, she heard a genuine snort, clearly from her best friend, but it wasn't coming from the bed; it came from a dark corner of the room.

Oh no! We've been tricked!

Valensa realized it immediately, but it was too late.

Her best friend, who was fast asleep in front of her, suddenly disappeared as if in a hallucination, turning into a card with the character "幻" (illusion) faintly glowing in the middle.

Valensa wanted to jump out of bed, but she felt her whole body become so heavy, as if there was a black hole in the bed that was holding her firmly.

She quickly lifted the thin blanket on the bed, and sure enough, there was another card in the middle of the bed with the character "引" (yin) shining brightly on it.

Illusion + gravity trap?

Damn it, I was completely outsmarted by my best friend!

Valensa, who was stuck to the bed, was very unwilling. This gravity trap was at least Pearl-level in strength, and with her current Candlelight-level female knight strength, she had no way to break free.

It might be possible to enhance it with mental power, but Valensa only considered it and didn't actually do it.

After all, she was in the wrong three years ago for leaving without saying goodbye, so she was prepared to be bullied by her best friend when she came tonight.

Then why are you struggling?

Why not try to cheer up your best friend?

"Gu~ I'm sorry, Tia, it was my fault, please forgive me."

Valensa then gave up all resistance and was pinned to the bed by the gravity trap in a very shameful position, pitifully begging for mercy.

Chapter 80 An apology requires sincerity.

"Humph."

The humming sound came again from the dark corner of the room, but this time the annoyance was noticeably less, and there was even a hint of pleasure.

"Hehehe... I knew Tia was the best."

Valencia, sensing that her best friend seemed to be in a better mood, breathed a slight sigh of relief, but her embarrassed posture and pitiful expression remained unchanged:

"Quickly release the gravity trap and let me go, this is so embarrassing."

Snapped.

With a crisp sound, the dark room was filled with light as the light-attribute magic crystal used for lighting on the ceiling was activated.

Valensa then saw clearly that in the corner not far away, a silver-haired, red-eyed girl wearing a slip dress and white knee-high socks was sitting with her legs crossed; it was her best friend.

Tia Britannia, the eldest daughter and first in line to the throne of the Britannia family.

"Yo."

Tia clearly wasn't going to let Valensa off so easily. She stood up, a mocking smile on her face, and walked to the bedside, pinching Valensa's chin:

"Isn't this the shy female knight from just now? How come you've turned into a thief raiding a noblewoman's room in such a short time? Hmm?"

"No...didn't you, Tia, give me a coded message to come find you?"

Valensa knew her best friend was deliberately teasing and bullying her, but since she had made the mistake first, she could only play along and try to make her friend happy.

"I was the one who told you the story of the monkey learning skills... Hehe, I'm so glad you still remember it, it shows you still care about me!"

"What nonsense are you spouting, you little thief! I don't care about you at all! A thief like you should be locked up in the guard station's cell and interrogated by those perverted men!"

Tia was clearly a bit smug and embarrassed, and even reached out to tug at Valensa's black stockings:

"Many men love this the most... Do you want your black stockings to be torn by a whip? Burned by a branding iron? Or corroded by acid?"

"Waaah... Tia, no! You know I love black stockings the most."

Valensa quickly feigned fear, shrinking back slightly, then gave a meaningful smile:

"Of course, if you insist on tearing my black stockings, that's fine too... If you tear them yourself, I definitely won't resist."
