14 – Lone Wolf (2)

The Blackwood estate has been lively for the first time in a while.

A wind of hope has blown to the territory where only the smell of death has lingered for a long time.

It was the wind led by the human mercenary group, Hongyeomdan.

The women’s tears stopped, and the men’s training came alive again.

One by one, people who had fallen were getting up.

I was harboring anticipation for the future that I believed would never come.

Except for one person.

“Huh…hhhhh…”

Ner Blackwood closed himself in his room every day and wept.

She was the one who had to make her sacrifices to make all these miracles happen.

With no money or food, the only thing Blackwood could pay was one life.

Ner felt unreasonable.

She didn’t know why she had to sell herself.

However, such selfish thoughts could not come out of her mouth, so she had to embrace all her absurdities alone.

She believed in her grandmother’s divination.

I thought salvation would come one day.

But in this way, she never thought that the dream would be shattered.

Her destined opponent never showed up, and instead her mercenaries came to take her.

To live the rest of your life with someone you don’t love.

That was even worse for her than her death.

It was something I hated more than bullying my brothers.

As a werewolf, she wanted to meet her long-awaited partner of destiny and share a passionate and deep love.

From noble mtl dot com

She was the one who wanted to have such a burning love that they would die without each other.

But what awaited her was a future with her human race.

Ner was familiar with many rumors about her race.

A weak subject, cruel.

Savage, honorless.

Instinctively knows how to persistently dig into the opponent’s weaknesses, and is not afraid to get nasty and dirty.

Also, promiscuous. In particular, it was Ner who was told that human males were always in heat.

To relieve that s*xual desire… There is also a system called polygamy.

It was a system only enjoyed by the human race.

One man is leading many women.

Ner couldn’t understand the culture.

It felt so dirty and filthy.

If you don’t consider people as ornaments, that’s obviously impossible.

The Humans came up with the excuse that they could love multiple people at once, but Ner thought it was just a cowardly excuse.

I was sold to such a human.

It was so embarrassing.

Why do people have to be human?

In addition to that, he is a mercenary.

A mercenary who makes money by wielding a sword.

It was no secret that mercenaries liked alcohol and s*x.

I heard that once you become a mercenary, even werewolves enjoy s*x.

Of course, there is no way that the Humans are less.

I ended up living the rest of my life with someone who tied only the worst to the worst.

It was something that could be used like a s*x toy.

Of course, in the first place, I would have hated whoever it was if it wasn’t my fate… The combination of human mercenaries multiplied the displeasure.

Ner’s grandmother’s advice about his fate rang in his ears.

‘I can’t let go of that child.’

The tears did not stop.

“Grandma…What do I do?”

It never occurred to him that in this way he might be missing out on his fate.

Neer Blackwood said he wanted to run away if he could.

But with her distinctive tail that stands out, she sneaks away and her escape is harder than picking stars in the sky.

– Smart smart.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Ner quickly wiped away the tears and straightened his expression.

Soon before I could say the words of permission, the door opened.

“Ner.”

“…Older brother.”

Ner held on tightly to the blanket when an awkward opponent appeared.

He covered his face and pretended not to cry.

His big brother, Gidin Blackwood, walked in.

“After. Your groom came to visit you, but you’re stuck in your room. What disrespect is this Do you know how difficult our position has become thanks to you?”

Ner crouched down instead of answering.

He looked down at Ner quietly and said.

“Ha, you must have been crying.”

A series of pathetic sighs.

“…If you think about the people of the territory even a little, you should be happy to accept it. But to see the tears…”

Ner bit his lower lip.

There were countless things I wanted to say.

I can say that because I am not a party to it.

Gydin Blackwood, because she has formed a soul bond with her opponent of her own designation.

Even though he must have known how Ner felt, he came like this to provoke him.

Normally Ner wouldn’t have expressed her displeasure.

I was always afraid of Gidin.

But she had nothing to lose.

Being sold to a human mercenary, what is so scary about it?

Ner put his angry heart on his back and gathered his courage.

“…Please leave.”

Nevertheless, what she finally managed to say was a request for some alone time.

The fear of Gidin imprinted on her skin made her unable to say anything more.

“.. Tsk.”

Gidin kept a long silence, then turned her body around.

As usual, she would have paid a heavy price for this defiance.

But Ner also understood that his sacrifice was worth it.

As a result, she was able to push Gidin away before any conversation could begin.

In the first place, there was no way her new bride would be able to hold her wedding ceremony with her bruises on her back.

“I’ll take care of you for one day. Today, you somehow covered up the excuse that you were sick. But you will have to prepare by tomorrow.”

Ner is left alone in the room again.

She vented her anger by gripping the duvet.

Wherever she goes, her own side doesn’t appear.

Only enemies pour down every time.

Even now, no one in her family comforted her would-be hero of her realm.

If she had grown up with a little more love, would she have met a different fate?

Even though she has older sisters out of wedlock, she must have had a reason for selling herself.

Ner looked at the sky where the moon never rose and prayed.

“Please… I don’t have time.”

She wanted someone to fall from the sky on her and save her.

She didn’t know if it would be okay to take her and run away.

No matter what, it would be better than being sold to a human mercenary.

“Please show up…”

Ner prayed and prayed while looking at the bright and clear sky.

****

After the light meeting between Adam and Gibson Blackwood, I walked around Adam and Blackwood’s estate.

No one of us brought up an uncomfortable subject first.

It might have been because it was half expected.

Neer Blackwood didn’t show up, which meant one thing.

She didn’t want this marriage.

I tried to understand her.

In the beginning, werewolves said they loved only one person. It was a race that was sincere in love.

A sudden marriage of political will is bound to be embarrassing.

In the first place, it might feel humiliating for a noble to marry a mercenary.

Of course, showing off that displeasure was another matter.

My brother and I discussed other topics first.

“I sent a reconnaissance party. By tomorrow, we should be able to locate the boss.”

“Check the eastern forest properly. A few more bosses might be hiding.”

“I know. Didn’t I say we should take care of our meals?”

“Yes.”

During the conversation, Adam did not hide his slight discomfort.

Since meeting Gibson Blackwood, he hasn’t had a stupid smile.

It was to the point that I became uncomfortable and asked first.

“…Why.”

“What?”

“Hyung, I can see you’re in a bad mood. What’s the matter?”

“…”

My brother stopped walking.

I looked back at me with a long sigh.

Adam looks at me with a serious face and speaks.

“…Berg. If you don’t like it even now, you can give up the request.”

“What?”

“I tried to find a good mate, but I never thought of this.”

I said as I lightly brushed off Adam who was putting his hand on his shoulder.

“Okay. It wasn’t even that I decided to get married because of that in the first place.”

“…”

I raised my voice when I saw him unable to let go of his expression.

“It’s okay. After all, it’s for the Red Flame Team.”

I was uncomfortable with his annoyance.

“I brought you here, who hates you, but it’s because I’m sorry that things have turned out this way.”

“If you’re sorry, you shouldn’t have suggested it in the first place. Isn’t it foolish to think that the other person would like me?”

“…I thought you would at least show sincerity in hiding your emotions. They say you know the heat just by looking at one. Opponent is right-“

“It’s okay, stop it now. It’s over.”

No matter how much he opened his mouth, he wouldn’t let go of his expression, so I added an explanation.

“It’s better to say, this.”

“What?”

“That means you take the other person seriously. So stop making faces. The decision has already been made and there is no going back. I already bought the ring.”

“….”

“Just because it starts like this, there is no guarantee that it will end like this. You can do well and keep going. Were you close with me from the start too? We became friends through fighting.”

“Ha.”

“I’ll take care of it, hyung, get your hands off it.”

Our position was immediately reversed.

Now I was in favor of marriage, and my brother was against it.

My brother frowned, and I no longer comforted him.

A decision had already been made. I didn’t even make up my mind that I just wanted to be shaken by this matter.

I knew better than anyone else that falling in love with someone is not easy.

I asked to convey the meaning that I had made up my mind.

“So, if this is the case, when will the wedding be?”

“…In two days.”

“Subjugation?”

“The subjugation will proceed after the marriage is over.”

It was a reasonable decision.

When people are in a hurry and when they are not in a hurry, their stance is different.

If you say you won’t hand over Ner Blackwood after the subjugation, the problem will grow.

I nodded.

I put aside my miscellaneous thoughts.

“It’s okay, brother.”

I looked at the waterfall in the distance.

Two days later.

As if to promise, I whispered.

“…I will try.”
