Incompatible Interspecies Wives

84 – Unclear Curiosities (6)

Time passed and Ner sat down at the table.

Arwin sits next to him, and Berg sits across from him.

He couldn’t avoid talking about what had happened yesterday.

“…”

Berg did not open his mouth for a long time after he sat down.

And whenever that silence continues, Ner’s head is filled with countless questions.

It was full of unknown things.

Ner remembered the yaksha-like appearance of Berg the day before.

The man who was hugging himself got off the horse and approached to kill all the paladins.

If Adam, the leader, hadn’t stopped it, the fight would have happened.

That figure keeps bothering me.

Ner was recently with Berg, and he couldn’t control his emotions and reason.

If it was like before, I would have been afraid of Berg like that.

He must have been frightened when he remembered that he was a human mercenary, not a berg.

Didn’t he even find out that he was from a slum?

If I didn’t know about Berg, I would have tried to stay away…

But now it seems that emotions control you.

I was more worried than afraid of Berg.

I was afraid that I might get seriously hurt.

I keep getting curious about his past.

I wonder why he is having such a hard time.

She didn’t know how to deal with these changes.

For now, all my attention was focused on Berg.

“…Ha ha.”

But after a long pause, Berg said.

“…I know you want to know about yesterday.”

It was Berg who was showing a bitter expression when he hadn’t seen it for the first time.

Awkward expression from him who always smiled.

“…But wait a little longer. I’m not ready to talk yet.”

“…”

“When the time comes, I will bring up the story first.”

I wonder if being upset about Berg’s words just now is part of that change?

It’s hard to overcome my curiosity about him.

It is difficult to predict him as his race and status are different.

She knew it was rude to pry at something she didn’t want to say.

She knew better than anyone else.

In the first place, if you’re a couple, trust each other and don’t ask useless questions…

But these days, my mouth keeps itching.

Since it was my first friend, I wanted to know everything about him.

It is still the same now.

Why hide something from yourself?

I hugged you like that yesterday too.

“….Okay.”

But in the end, Ner had no choice but to accept his words.

She didn’t ask her opponent, but she was considerate of her own consideration as well…

There was no justification for the sense of distance that had not yet been completely narrowed down.

If we couldn’t live without each other, would we have asked Berg about the current situation?

“…”

I didn’t know.

Anyway, it was such an atmosphere that I couldn’t ask any more questions.

In the name of consideration, Ner suppressed my curiosity.

“Okay.”

Alwin also nodded beside him.

She also had a complicated expression as if she was thinking a lot… But that was the end of the conversation.

****

King Rex Draigo looked at the cleric who had come to face him.

As if something else had happened, Rex hid his annoyance under his expression.

Everything about this meeting was unnatural.

The Archbishop of the Church of Hea was awkward from the very beginning, but he didn’t think he would come in such a hurry.

Only one day after receiving the call, the archbishop moved with heavy steps.

The Archbishop was an elderly Yongin.

The horns that were shaved off as a sign of devotion to the church were quite impressive.

“… Archbishop. So, what did he come for?”

Rex Draigo didn’t change his posture much because he was in front of the archbishop.

Actually, as a king, he wasn’t particularly nervous no matter who came.

There must have been some arrogance that was hidden secretly. In any case, the fact that the other person came because they needed him must have played a part.

The talks were being held in secret.

Not even a common paladin or knight was in the room.

Only the Yongin of the two leaders remained in the room and had a conversation.

The Archbishop did not hesitate to ask Rex.

He says.

“I came here because I have something to warn you about.”

“…Attention?”

Rex raises his eyebrows.

The Archbishop continued his explanation.

“…This is a problem related to the saintess.”

“…”

It was only then that Rex’s attention was focused.

The party of warriors and Rex Draigo were on the same boat, so there was no choice.

Rex Draigo wanted this kingdom to withstand the demon lord’s offensive, and in order to do so, a party of warriors had to be active.

“I am listening.”

Rex said.

“…Do you know the red yeomdan?”

“…”

It was a mercenary group that Rex could not have known.

In fact, even if you weren’t the king, you would have known about them.

Recently, there has been no word of mouth among the nobility as much as the red yeomdan.

The mercenaries who saved Blackwood and Celebrien.

A mercenary group with a wise-looking leader and a strong vice-captain.

A mercenary group made up of only human races.

I was still paying attention.

For Lex Draigo, who was running out of troops, there was no better weapon than the Red Flames.

As long as he took two aristocratic wives, the justification was sufficient.

I wanted to use them to monitor areas in need.

“I know.”

Rex gave a short answer, and the archbishop breathed tremblingly.

“…The red yeomdan must not meet with the saintess.”

However, the archbishop’s words seemed to crack the plan.

“…?”

“To be precise, we shouldn’t let the vice-captain meet with the saintess.”

“What do you mean?”

Speaking of the vice-captain of the Red Flame Troupe, I heard that he is an extremely talented person.

There were even people who compared her to Gale.

He was also a truly human and blessed commoner who had two aristocratic wives.

He was a very coveted talent.

He had heard that even Gail was keeping an eye on him.

It was a strange nuance that seemed to have known the red yeomdan from before.

The archbishop broke into a cold sweat as he explained.

Rex was quite surprised by the archbishop’s behavior.

I wonder if he would have thought that he would show this kind of appearance.

“…From here on out, it’s top secret.”

The Archbishop warned.

Rex simply nodded his head briefly.

.

.

After the long explanation, Rex burst into laughter at the nonsense.

“Not so simple as to make you laugh!”

But the archbishop reacted sensitively to his ridicule.

“…Be careful with your voice.”

Rex warns against the archbishop’s voice.

In a way, the relationship is equal.

But the king, Rex, didn’t want to be tricked by anyone.

It was the archbishop who came to me in need of help in the first place.

Befitting a king, he suppressed the archbishop.

“…”

The archbishop was silent at the king’s warning.

However, in his whispers that followed, Rex had been conveying to some extent how urgent the situation was.

“…If the saintess finds out about this…The warrior party might be cracked.”

“…”

“That means you might not want to stay on the battlefield any longer…!”

Certainly, that was something that couldn’t be done from Rex’s point of view.

On the other hand, I wondered if the situation would go to such an extreme.

It was the saintess who left her man named Berg in the first place.

To some extent, I must have had that situation in mind.

I wonder if I didn’t know because I was too young or because my love was so strong.

But maybe one of the reasons why the situation didn’t go to the extreme was because of the things I heard from Gail, the teacher of the warriors.

Gail said that she had never seen anyone as kind as the saint.

A saintess worthy of a saint.

Will such a saint turn away countless lives just because the man she loves has wives?

But it was also a story that could not be ignored.

There was no need to take the risk.

Rex feels irritated.

I wonder if I should give up the good weapon called the Red Flame Dan.

“…Why did you lie in the first place?”

Rex asked a question out of irritation.

“How can you tell the story of the death of the man you love with a piece of beef jerky and a couple of fairy tales…!”

“Anyway, thanks to that, isn’t it that the problem that was put off has increased in size?”

“…”

“Why should the kingdom bear with your mistakes?”

“…”

Still, perhaps because he was a priest, the archbishop withstood his own insults.

Rex calmed my anger.

“The red flames could have been a good weapon.”

“…”

“Thanks to you, it became unusable.”

“…Royal Money-“

“-I understand what you mean. We’ll keep an eye on the Red Flames properly. So that you don’t come into contact with the warriors.”

“Thank you.”

Rex warned the Archbishop nonetheless.

“But I want you to know that this won’t magically make all your problems go away.”

“…”

“I’m not even a god… I can’t stop the saintess from accidentally finding out all this.”

“…Yes. I know.”

“And I’m just holding back…I might change my mind later. Remember, we are not making promises. I will do as I please.”

“….”

“Conversation is ideal. Please go back.”

The Archbishop rose from his seat and greeted him.

Looking at his back as he left, Rex let out another sigh.
