Safe & Sound in the Arms of an Elite Knight (Manga) Volume 5

After the run-in with the thugs in the park, Chloe’s life at Lloyd’s estate settles into a shockingly peaceful routine. The chores are manageable, the atmosphere is warm, and, unlike in her old life, Chloe’s not working into the wee hours of the morning. She even has spare time—just what is this luxury?

Thanks to a gentle nudge from Lloyd, Chloe takes up an interest in literature, stumbling upon a charming bookshop and its kindhearted owner in the process. Meanwhile, Lloyd runs afoul of a self-styled “rival”: a boastful young noble determined to outshine him at every turn.

New acquaintances bring new energy—and new tension. The peace between Lloyd and Chloe starts to shift, ever so slightly. What exactly are they to each other? And what happens when the quiet days don’t feel so quiet anymore?
