Incompatible Interspecies Wives

Chapter 59

59 – Rule (1)

I asked Arwin as I headed towards the place where the members of the head team were gathering.

“How are you feeling?”

I still haven’t received an answer to this.

Obedient, she nodded her head.

“…It’s fine now.”

“Then pack your things. Let’s get out of the manor right away.”

“Yes?”

As much as I decided to ask about the conflict that Ascal had created, I didn’t think that harm would come to me… But there was no reason to stay here any longer.

I don’t think it would be nice to have one.

Alwin’s ritual was also over. She said her physical condition was also good.

The elders wouldn’t look at me kindly either.

It was better to go after her brother, who left this morning.

As I walked like that, I saw a place where the members of the head team were gathered.

He was practicing his sword while giggling next to our accommodation building.

Feeling my presence, Baran looks at me and raises her hand.

“Deputy leader… Vice-captain!”

Seeing his bloody face, he runs straight from his seat.

Sean and Jackson, who were guarding him, also came to me with alertness.

“Blood…! How did this happen!”

Baran had doubts, but I didn’t bother to explain.

“It’s all over. It’s okay, so get ready. I will follow Adam.”

“Are you running away?”

“You said you solved everything. It’s because there’s no problem if you just leave now. Don’t worry.”

They didn’t seem to fully understand the situation yet, but they nodded.

Some go to pick up our horses, others go to pack the rest of our belongings.

I put Arwin down.

“…You go and pack your things too.”

“…”

“You don’t have to be in too much of a hurry.”

“You are…”

“I’m going to pick up Nere. Treat some wounds…”

In the meantime, blood dripped from my cheeks again.

My blood soaks the ground.

Arwin couldn’t help but take out a small handkerchief from his bosom.

He took the handkerchief to my cheek and took it away… Hesitantly, he handed it to me.

“Thank you.”

I took the handkerchief she gave me and put it on her cheek. Her handkerchief began to stain with my blood.

“Now, go get ready.”

At my words, Arwin nodded her head and turned her body.

I also sighed and went towards Ner.

“Berg!!”

Ner is startled by my appearance.

I don’t know how many times I’ve seen you so surprised.

“Why…no…what happened!”

She shouts as if in anger.

“Something happened, Ner. We have to go now pack your things-“

“- Explain properly!”

But Ner stopped me and demanded an explanation.

“…”

I knew she was genuinely upset with her, but… I just laughed at the sight.

After fighting Gallias, her anger may seem lighter.

She throws her ignorant pranks to tease her a bit.

Part of it was that I wanted to let people know that I was fine.

“Werewolves don’t explain things like this, do they?”

“No…! You…!”

Ner repeated sighs and exasperated breaths before explaining.

“Not telling each other where we’re going is just being considerate, Berg. It’s a culture that has the meaning of not asking if I believe in you. It’s not like the curiosity disappears…! If you keep asking, it’s like monitoring and restraining you, so I’m not doing it because it’s rude! Your condition right now is not a situation where such consideration is important!”

“Is that so?”

While getting to know her culture more clearly, her blood was dripping again.

Ner immediately led me and sat me down in a chair.

I bring back the medical supplies I took out a few days ago.

“I’ll start with treatment, so you explain…!”

Ner said in a voice mixed with worry and anger.

I looked at her quietly.

Something seems more serious than me.

With haste, she takes out her herbs and grinds them up, then grabs my bloody jacket and lifts it up.

Trying to undress her.

“…”

When I didn’t cooperate, Nere looked at me as if she came to her senses.

There was a spoonful of shame in the embarrassing anger.

She shouted with a flushed expression.

“Do you want to keep playing around…!”

I giggled and then took off her top.

Looking at the traces Gallias left on my body, Ner’s expression hardened once more.

“…”

Nevertheless, she started treatment one by one with an awkward touch.

“…That, so. What is it?”

Ner kneels in front of me on a chair and heals my wounds.

“I fought Gallias. An elf swordsman in the territory.”

Ner asks, taking in her breath with difficulty.

“Why did you do such a reckless thing-“

“It’s for Arwin.”

I answered while interrupting Ner.

Ner’s hand stiffened for a moment.

“….”

Soon she heals her wounds again.

When he heard that it was for Arwin, he noticed that no further explanation was needed.

Maybe it’s because she had a similar experience.

Ner wiped off my blood and put herbs on her body. She wraps the wound again with a clean bandage.

The pain I felt in my body became much easier.

And the more I was like this, the more I found stability in her.

Maybe you really need something like this.

She stands up from her seat at the end.

Then she slowly put her hand on my face.

He lightly held my face with a worried expression.

At her touch, I removed her handkerchief from her cheek.

Her lips are pursed and her expression contorted.

“…You need to sew it up, this one.”

“Can you help me?”

Ner’s eyes blink anxiously.

“…I have medical knowledge…But I’ve never done anything like this…”

“It’s okay, do it. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll have to catch up with my brother.”

Among the remaining members of the head team, no one knew how to stitch up their wounds.

You probably don’t even know how to tie a knot. I was the same.

Ner opened his eyes wide as if he realized that he was the only one left to heal him.

I waited for Ner to make his choice.

“…I’ll try.”

I smiled at her choice.

Ner took out her thread and needle and came closer to me.

He seemed more afraid than me.

As if she had no resistance to seeing these scars yet, her expression was also painfully distorted.

I suddenly thought, but how many chances will a noble lady have to see such blatant scars?

Maybe even this makes her experience something she doesn’t have to experience.

“Berg…Tell me if it hurts?”

A laugh bursts out at her words.

“…”

Ner lightly slapped my arm as if telling me not to laugh, then took a deep breath and concentrated on her.

-…Hook.

For the first time, the needle pierces the wound.

I feel a sharp pain in my cheek.

But to make Ner comfortable, I didn’t show off.

So Ner started stitching up my wounds.

Silence hangs over the room.

So many times the needle pierced the wound.

“…Sigh.”

I wince for a moment at the tingling pain I feel.

Ner asked me, startled.

“Ah… did it hurt?”

“It’s okay. Please continue.”

If it’s funny that he treats me with a heart as tender as mine, it’s funny.

A warmth more than pain fills me.

It was a feeling that was still far from love, but this was enough.

It felt like watering the seeds of feelings that would grow later.

Arwin packed up his remaining belongings and prepared to leave the manor.

What happens after 170 years.

But Arwin was quietly conflicted.

“……”

Arwin stares at a glass bottle the size of a thumb, frozen for a while.

Mel’s Tears.

It’s a poison that I thought I’d use someday.

Until a while ago, it was natural to take poison.

However, in her short time, great changes have taken place in her.

I had to take care of it, but my body was stiff and I couldn’t move.

Arwin was not foolish.

I had no intention of entrusting my fate to the image Berg showed me just now.

You cannot judge the whole by looking at one.

I still can’t believe he saved me just for the reason that they are a couple.

Since I was left alone, these and other thoughts filled my head.

The desire to be free for 170 years did not disappear easily.

Just because he fought for himself, it wasn’t a lingering lingering feeling that could easily be shaken off.

If you ask if you can kill him, you can’t answer that right now.

It didn’t even matter.

What Arwin had to focus on was worrying about how he would think in the future.

Even the ritual of sacrifice was bearable at first.

However, as time passed, Arwin finally collapsed due to the frequent consciousness.

The present Berg…

“…”

But I don’t know what he will be like in the future.

In Arwyn’s memory, there was also the figure of Berg who mercilessly defeated Gallias in a bloody form.

He is a person who possesses such features as well.

Isn’t it foolish not to prepare?

– Smart.

‘Arwin, are you ready?’

At that moment, Berg’s voice echoed outside the door.

“..Yes.”

From noble mtl dot com

Stunned by the sound, Arwin finally put Mel’s tears deep into the luggage box.

Even while taking care of it, feelings like deep guilt rise.

However, this was something to think about in the future anyway.

If you think you won’t be able to use it, that’s okay.

For now, it was just to expand the options.

****

A situation where everyone is on a horse.

Berg decided not to wear his jacket because of the bandages all over his body.

There was nothing I could wear anyway.

Ner heard that it was after Captain Adam had packed all of his belongings, saying he would take care of the convenience of the members of the head team.

Berg can’t even wear the bloodied jacket from fighting Gallias.

“Is it okay if I don’t say hello to the elder?”

Ner looked at Berg talking to Arwin.

The time we’ve been together was short, but I’ve never seen Berg talk like that with another woman.

I keep staring at the act, which is not a big deal.

Arwin answered, avoiding her eyes.

“…It’s okay.”

As if they had been preparing for a breakup for a long time.

Berg didn’t argue with him any more.

He nodded his head and started driving his horse.

Arwin looked straight at Berg’s back as he turned around.

I don’t know where the hell her cold expression went.
