Softness...
Warmth...
Lonely...
I felt all of that when I kissed Madam Estelle's lips, who was so fragile and didn't understand the meaning of love throughout her life experience. As a female knight serving in the residence of a high-ranking noble, she only knew boundless loyalty and obedience.
Even the order to become a monster had been carried out in the past. Still, I released that nightmare from Madam Estelle after performing the purification and performing the Linked Ritual with her. Slowly returning her to be a lovely woman.
The results were as I had hoped: I had acquired the advanced swordsmanship skills of a female knight who devoted herself to continuous training and doing hard work, without feels the painstaking sword training that Madam Estelle had.
I have granted her request to kiss my lips to feel love and affection.
