Even when indisposed, Kay can sense it.

Some stupid asshole is trying to woo his little sister.

Continued from x

Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, upon being called a ‘womanizer’ by the beautiful girl before him, a roguish smile lit up his features, and he threw back and his head and chuckled in clear amusement.

After a few moments, he shrugged his shoulders with a sheepish grin, splaying his palms upwards helplessly.

“Well, you certainly have me there milady.”

He threw a wink her way, an eyebrow quirked upwards.

“You may rest assured that the only woman this particular womanizer has his eye on is you right now, miss Master.”

That was certainly true for the moment, yes.

The girl before her was quite clearly as smart as she was beautiful, and as he had already observed out loud, she really was quite beautiful.

A dangerous combination, those two qualities.

Certainly not ideal for a woman he would necessarily have to spend time with.

Smart women, emotional women, engaging women, brilliant women... they had a most irksome ability to worm their way past his rough exterior and cause no shortage of trouble for him and his carefree lifestyle.

Still, he was without a doubt stuck with her.

He would have to make the best out of all of this.

Trouble though she may be, she was quite the fine woman.

Hopefully, he’d find a way underneath that skirt.

Hopefully, he’d find a way to stay away from anything deeper than that.

As for the how... well, sharp as he was, he lived for the moment.

Whatever happened would happen.

... It would not end up like other times.

Regardless of what he wanted, his duty to her would come first.

Even if she, who he knew nothing about, surely deserved better than him.

You sham of a knight.

The Servant internalized his worries as always, keeping his expression jovial, and settled his aqua hues on the slender smooth hand stretched towards him.

Another eyebrow quirked upwards, an insufferable smirk cresting his lips.

“Whoa there, I figured I could at least buy you a drink before we got this far.”

His own good humored words aside, he reached out his own larger and rougher hand, enveloping hers with a gentleness that belied his height, and shook it firmly, his fingers lingering for a moment on her soft white skin.

“I will be in your care then Gudako, and perhaps in other places as well, should you give me leave to go in them.”

Another wink.

He was perhaps laying it on a little thick, but it seemed almost self evident from her faint blush and her clear youth that he couldn’t simply ask outright for what he wanted... he would need to woo her.

It had certainly been a long time since he had courted a woman.

Of course that was his priority, not that he would need to protect her.

Not that he would need to kill for her.

Of course he thought first of how he wanted to bed her.

In a corner of his mind, he laughed harshly at himself.

You sham of a knight.
