23 – First Night (3)

Ner felt light in her chest as if she were about to fly.

Feeling that the shackles that were suppressed have been released.

It felt like I was freed from a duty I wanted to avoid.

She was able to keep her virginity, and it was okay not to love her.

As long as I somehow gain time and overcome the weakness of the red yeomdan… The subsequent problems will be solved.

So I didn’t feel depressed anymore. No tears seemed to come out.

The wind was cooler, and the sun was warmer.

She walked outside her mansion, looking around the garden for the first time in a long time.

Since when did so many flowers bloom?

Having been crying for the past few weeks, she did not notice these changes.

She originally had a lot of time alone, so she got along with her nature.

She secretly liked going into the woods and spending time in front of waterfalls.

She loved both visiting her grandmother’s grave and sneaking out at night to look at the moon.

So the long walk was arousing her mood.

It was hard to believe how refreshed she was in the morning.

All of this was because Berg was a better human than he expected.

Of course, he may have been conscious of Ner’s identity.

Anyway, Ner didn’t care.

I was really status conscious and suppressed her s*x drive, and it didn’t matter if it was bubbling inside.

She had already promised not to do anything she didn’t like.

She didn’t mind anything as long as it didn’t touch her.

She wouldn’t mind if I had another woman and expressed her lust.

While taking a break like that, I heard the sound of her footsteps.

It was a sound I noticed quite belatedly as I closed my eyes and enjoyed the peace.

When Ner looked behind her, her brothers were walking towards them.

Three older brothers and two older sisters.

They were on good terms, and they never fell apart.

Always walked around in groups, always smiling.

The group that Ner wanted to join so much approached.

Ner’s body stiffened at her momentary tension.

I would have avoided the seat if it was the same as usual, but now it was too late.

Gidin, who led her group at the front, was aware of Ner’s presence and was walking.

All of Ner’s older brothers were wiping off their sweat as if they had been training.

To them, Ner cautiously stood up from her seat and greeted her.

“…Brothers. Sisters.”

“Ner.”

Her other four brothers behind her are also looking at her.

She threw a strangely uncomfortable gaze.

Gidin paused for a moment, looking at the flowers blooming around Ner.

“…Were you looking at the flowers?”

“…”

Gidin chuckled.

At the sound of that little laugh, Ner’s heart sank.

“…No, until yesterday you were so dead, but today you seem to be in a good mood again.”

“…”

“I don’t understand how this happened.”

It was a sarcastic tone.

Her brothers in the back smiled as well.

‘Ah.’

Ner thought as he closed her eyes.

Today was the day. The day when you become the target of bullying for pastime.

Sometimes I ignore it, sometimes I get scolded, and sometimes I get hit, but…

The hardest day to endure was the day when I was bitten and verbally harassed like today.

Swan, who used to be the little sister, asks with a smile.

“It’s relaxing, Ner. We all watched the training. All the new sisters were visiting and cheering, really…”

Swan was kicking himself out even though he participated. Ner did not understand this accusation.

My older sister, Raan, also helps.

“Of course I am relaxed. Her husband is the vice-captain of the mercenary corps, would you be intimidated? But…The husband seems to have satisfied it well. Sleep until late.”

The older sisters burst into laughter together.

Ner clenched his fists.

I suppress the desire to shout that it is not like that.

… She didn’t even know how to rebel against her brothers in the first place.

Also, Berg said he was going to talk about having a relationship.

If he denies that fact here, if Berg changes his mind and cuts off his jijang, it will all be over.

Her eldest sister La An continued.

“But are you a human? Ner seems to have enjoyed it quite a bit too. You look happy.”

“…”

The most upsetting part for Ner in all of this… Must have been his foolish self who wanted to be in the gap even after all these insults.

Lonely, she wanted to feel her belonging.

It’s the point of being sold to a human mercenary for Blackwood.

Couldn’t she see her own sacrifice?

Taking her mother’s life was so wrong… But there was nothing she could do about it.

Gidin says, looking not at Ner, but at her younger siblings.

“…It can’t be helped. Look at the tail.”

Ner instinctively hid his ungainly white tail.

“…The color is the mutation color. It doesn’t take much time to love like we did in the first place. Even if we only meet eyes like humans-“

– Puck!

At that moment, someone suddenly jumped out from the side and pushed Gidin hard.

Not only Nere’s brothers, but even Nere were stunned.

I was so absorbed in the conversation that I didn’t even know who was coming.

Ner soon cast a huge shadow in front of him.

The appearance of the brothers is covered.

“…What?”

The person who appeared asked.

From noble mtl dot com

Berg’s back was right in front of him.

****

She did well to come straight to Ner after her morning training.

If I hadn’t told Baran about their relationship before, it might have been too late.

Especially when her brother teased me about the first night, she couldn’t do anything less for Nere, with whom she didn’t get along.

As I trudge over Giddin, his younger brothers approach me wildly.

But Gideon stopped them.

“…My problem.”

Then he got up growling.

I hide Ner behind me even more, and stand up to confront Gidin.

He maintained a cool composure.

It was to the extent that his brothers, who had been running amok behind him, calmed down after seeing him.

“…What are you doing, vice-captain?”

Gidin whispers quietly.

They get so close that their faces touch each other.

“…I try to be as polite as possible, but if you keep crossing the line…”

“Which line are you talking about?”

I was curious and asked.

Gydin’s eyebrows twitched, and the muscles in his jaw jutted out.

“…I told you that werewolves don’t like meddling in other people’s family affairs. I wonder if humans have short memories. Have you already forgotten?”

“…”

That sound again.

At that time, I was definitely accepted.

As he said, it was someone else’s family affair.

But not anymore.

I looked at Gidin, who was coldly looking down at me.

“…I was your sister until the day before yesterday, but since yesterday you have become my wife.”

“…”

“…Did you forget?”

Gidin’s eyes trembled again.

The pupil becomes vertically sharp.

I know because I’ve seen it a lot.

Gidin was preparing for battle.

He prepared to react to the flying fist too.

“…”

But he stayed still for a while, lowering his head and letting out a deep sigh.

“After…”

As if he had decided to hold it in, he took a deep breath.

After a while, Gidin looked up at me again.

“…I see. Excuse me.”

Then he left without a word.

His younger siblings all took turns following me and Ner hiding behind me.

He too made a good choice.

We received Ner, but they still have demons.

In the first place, it wasn’t a contract that would be broken just because Gidin and I fought… But there’s nothing good about arguing.

I looked at Gidin and his brothers as they left, then turned to Ner.

Ner was shedding tears before he knew it.

“…”

Why do I only see her crying like this?

I can’t say I love her yet… But her crying obviously made her feel uncomfortable.

“…Are you okay?”

Ner did not answer my question.

I’m about to cry, but it might not be okay.

Ner muttered in a whisper.

“…Why…Only me…”

In an instant, compassion arises from her words.

I was thinking about how to comfort the girl who still hates me… I just grabbed her by the wrist and led her.

****

Ner didn’t even know she would shed tears.

I wasn’t used to the pain of bullying, but I was able to hold back my tears.

I cry every time my brothers bully me, but there are no tears left.

But this time something was different.

Perhaps it has changed since the moment Berg appeared.

Ner didn’t know that Gidin, the Blackwood family’s strongest warrior, would fall so easily.

It was the first time I had ever hidden behind someone like this.

It was the first time that someone had fought on his behalf.

It was also the first time that the bullying of the brothers stopped in the middle.

It was also the first time she had a side of her own.

It was the first time that everything was over… It was also the first time I received comfort.

For some reason, my emotions ran wild and I cried.

It seemed that Berg shook the emotions that I had suppressed every time I was hit.

“…”

Ner was sitting in front of a waterfall with Berg before he knew it.

The beautiful sound of the waterfall and water droplets lightly splashing on your face.

A rainbow that can be seen little by little.

It was a good place to find peace of mind.

Berg hasn’t said anything since I first asked if he was okay.

She didn’t offer any more consolation or ask what the situation was.

I just brought Ner to this waterfall he likes, and sat at a distance.

Ner was comfortable with that.

I thought it would have been more uncomfortable if I had been persistent in asking.

Just because Berg saved him in the first place, it doesn’t mean that he fell in love with him like an idiot.

No matter how hard he tried, Ner’s dream was only one.

To share the future with his own destiny partner.

So he was still rough, and that hasn’t changed.

That’s what he said to himself.

…But thank you.

Ner did not forget the warm feeling he felt near his heart when Berg gave his back, when he hid himself from the anger of his brothers and fought instead in anger.

The reverberation of that excitement lingered in his chest.

I thought he was cruel and cold…How could he show such delicate consideration?

Ner secretly turned his head to look at Berg, who was sitting far away.

-Poof.

And at that moment, Berg turned her head to check on her.

My eyes meet for a moment.

“…”

“…”

Berg smiled at Nere, who had stopped crying without saying anything.

“…….”

Ner also said nothing.

Even her warm smile was a first for her.

I didn’t know that someone could smile like that for me.

For some reason, it was difficult for Ner to look at him, so he turned his head away.

It was obviously for a different reason than fear.
