94 – Halo (5)

Ner woke up naturally.

Judging by the temperature and brightness of the sun, it seemed to be about noon.

Her consciousness immediately thought of Berg.

With the strong heartbeat felt at the same time, her dreamy consciousness is awakened.

“…”

I couldn’t breathe well. The feeling of something gently pressing on my heart.

I couldn’t breathe properly because of the tight feeling.

Ner took her shallow breath, calming the adverse reaction in her own body.

Soon she took a deep breath and rose slowly from the bed.

She briefly checked the feel of the ring on her left ring finger, then moved on.

The camp was divided into two sections.

Ner naturally headed towards where Berg was resting.

-Sug…

Berg was asleep on the other side of the carefully raised tent.

Of course Arwin was with him.

“……”

Her unpleasant feelings pierce through her.

She watched the two of them asleep, sharing warmth without a word.

If you look closely, you can see that he is wearing his handcuffs.

‘…What are you doing?’

Ner whispered to himself.

Could there ever be such an awkward act?

They weren’t even close yet.

I don’t know if it’s acting in front of others.

I don’t know if it’s showing off the relationship as Berg asked.

But right now there’s no one watching, only two.

Why are you doing that?

Just like a real couple.

Who did it first?

“…”

Ner finally sighed at the conclusion that it must have been Berg.

There were definitely racial characteristics that could not be fully accepted yet.

Why do humans have a culture of polygamy?

If it weren’t for this nonsensical culture, it would have been easier to understand Berg.

It was a very different culture from her race.

“…”

Ner’s eyes looked back at Berg’s interlocked hand.

…Should I wake him up?

Then should I loosen that hand?

It seems like it’s getting a little late.

But soon Ner shook his head.

It was Berg who fell asleep while working on herself.

I can’t wake him up.

So she moved her steps slowly.

We head out of the inn. I didn’t want to see the two of them right now.

As she headed outside, the members of her Red Flames noticed her and bowed their heads.

Ner reacted to their greetings, noticing the changed atmosphere.

There are no mercenaries standing on the border surrounding the camp.

Those who glanced at her, giggled at her, and sometimes insulted her because of her white tail were nowhere to be found.

The fearful atmosphere was clearly lifted.

She knew why.

It’s thanks to Berg.

But it’s hard to believe when you actually feel the change.

There was no lie in Berg’s words that he said he would protect them.

I felt relieved as if the stone on my heart had disappeared.

I was no longer afraid, and my body did not stiffen.

It wasn’t just because the mercenaries who made fun of him disappeared.

Here, maybe it was because the strongest was on his side.

She was his wife.

Ner walked around the camp with lighter steps.

It didn’t stay in the center as hard as before.

Walking around places I hadn’t seen before, killing time.

I thought I should stay like this until Berg wakes up.

****

In the afternoon, I attended the conference.

I slept for a long time for the first time in a while.

When I woke up, I was the only one lying on the bed.

It was after Nerdo and Arwin went outside.

I checked for a moment and found that they were roaming the camp in a relaxed atmosphere.

It was fortunate that they were no longer rigid.

That alone made my reckless actions feel worthwhile.

I didn’t regret the fight at all.

“…”

I stood behind Adam and looked over at the three captains looking at me.

An expression that is as stiff as one.

I didn’t expect that the day would come when even they looked at me like this.

The alertness was definitely raised.

None of the vice-captains could attend the meeting.

In a way, it was natural.

And then, Adam brings out that fact and asks.

“The vice-captains…?”

I knew it was his attempt to turn the meeting in his favor.

It didn’t seem like he wanted to fumble through this high point.

“…”

“…”

“…”

After everyone swallowed only saliva, brother Adam clicked his tongue.

“…Sorry about this. My younger brother…No, our vice-captain was a bit excessive, right?”

Then they make excuses that are not excuses.

“As you know, we are a human race… sometimes we are cruel. Well, it was sparring, so I hope everyone will be kind.”

The leader of the Moon Deer, Icahn, snarled at me.

“…Our vice-captain went blind in his left eye.”

I had no intention of holding back what I had done, even for the sake of my wives.

I said.

“Shouldn’t you have left my wives alone?”

“…”

Icahn gritted his teeth.

You cannot be held accountable for what happened in a fight between mercenaries.

Sometimes there are even mercenaries who die.

But the reason Icahn brought that fact out to me was probably because the target was the vice-captain.

It’s not a normal member that can be recruited, it’s because he’s the second-in-command of the mercenary corps.

Nevertheless, I had a justification.

The fight came from that side first, and I went out for my wives.

It wasn’t my job to have to endure the humiliation of a fair result.

Adam-hyung moderated the atmosphere lightly.

“…Come on, isn’t it in the past? Even so, if you need damage compensation, please talk to me separately. We will compensate you within a reasonable offer.”

Everyone couldn’t relax their expressions despite Adam’s words.

Because of pride, no one will be able to mention the reward.

I hardened my expression, admiring my brother inwardly.

– Pair!

My brother immediately clapped his hands and refreshed the atmosphere.

“Shall we proceed with the meeting now? If we delayed it further, everyone would only feel tired.”

The captains nodded one by one.

Adam-hyung takes a deep breath in their positivity.

Soon after, his mood changes.

With a cold, hard expression, he proposes.

“…From now on, the red yeomdan will take priority in accepting the requests of the great nobles.”

****

After the meeting, the leaders leave their seats.

The negotiations were successful.

Hyung was able to get everything he wanted within reasonable limits.

The things to be conceded were properly conceded, and the dissatisfaction of the captains was properly quelled.

As expected, I am surprised whenever this happens.

If it wasn’t for hyung, our Red Yeomdan wouldn’t have grown this much.

Hyung also got up from his seat with a smile on his face.

He patted my back lightly and left.

I followed in the footsteps of such an older brother.

The moment I stepped outside, a voice came from the side.

“…Vice-captain Berg.”

I looked up and saw Chipre standing there.

Adam-hyung also stopped at that voice.

“…”

She stayed still for a while after calling me.

Finally, she let out a long breath and made a promise.

“…I know it’s sudden, but.”

“…”

“Be my vice-captain.”

I frowned.

She looked straight at me and proposed, ignoring Adam.

I don’t like that behavior of ignoring my brother already.

“I will give you many things if you come to our mercenary group.”

“…”

“If you want, even the leader position. I didn’t know you… Were so strong… I became more… Greedy.”

I looked at Adam for a moment.

My brother looked at me and shrugged his shoulders.

We already knew what answer I would give.

I turned to Chiffre and said.

“Suddenly.”

“I know. I said yes. But… I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.”

I had no intention of accepting her offer, but I was curious about what was inside.

“What am I looking at?”

“…Strength.”

“The reason you wanted me before wasn’t my strength.”

“…”

Once I skipped that part, I continued to ask Chiffre.

“…As for the vice-captain of Turo?”

Just before that, he had stepped on Touro.

I wonder if he even had a conversation with him?

But Chipre shook her head.

Then she said.

“…If you want, I’ll kick out Turo.”

“…”

I snorted at that absurd answer.

I didn’t like Turo, but I didn’t want to disparage every part of him.

“…You’re going to kick out the vice-captain who gave everything for you?”

“I am ambitious. You can make any sacrifice to get what you want.”

“…”

“Vice-captain Berg. Come to me No regrets-“

“-I have something to tell you.”

I had no intention of reacting emotionally like this.

But her words suddenly provoked a bad part.

The rare liar comes to mind again.

I understand now… But the scars remain.

There is a person who promised to stay by his side for the rest of his life and then left.

Let’s travel her world There is a girl who disappeared after giving it a go.

So I told Chiffre.

For the sake of her, she has been honest with her heart.

From noble mtl dot com

It was an answer to the disgusting words I had just heard.

Emotions intensify a little.

“……I hate traitors the most.”

****

As Berg came out of the conference room, Ner’s tail began to wag.

She started approaching Berg, leaving the chief Joe members who were guarding her side alone.

“…”

But then he started talking to someone.

A woman who seems to be half of the dragon race…And the human race.

I know you as the leader of Aracredan.

The mercenary group where the Minotaur that provoked Berg was located.

‘…Be my vice-captain.’

Her voice echoed from far away.

“… Ha.”

Ner’s anger flared up at the absurd remark.

I feel it more and more as I go.

Bergs are popular, but there are too many of them.

There are more than one fly that attracts him.

Reason approaches without a break.

There are many women who like him in Stockpin.

Even when he went to Dems Village, there was a Myoin tribe woman who was attracted to him.

In addition to that, the leader of the mercenary corps.

…How many more people will like him.

He tries to approach him without even knowing him properly.

I hate Berg even more because he’s a human.

He is a berg who can take many wives, but he is also very popular…

So Ner gritted his teeth.

After looking at them for a while, Ner speeds up.

I move towards Berg’s empty hand.

I think about holding his hand with a pod and wrapping his tail around his waist.

It was Berg who asked me to express this kind of affection outside.

In addition to expressing affection, I prepared insulting words to drive that woman away.

Meanwhile, Berg said.

‘-One thing, I have something to tell you.’

At the same time, Berg’s profile hardened to a level he had never seen before.

That icy expression that you don’t show yourself.

Feelings she hides from herself, her wife.

He liked it better than ever when it was directed at another woman.

“……I hate traitors the most.”

“……”

But at Berg’s words, Ner’s steps stiffened.

I’ve been tightening it so tightly that my heart hurts.

I couldn’t breathe for other reasons.

Betrayal.

That one word became a dagger and stuck in his chest.

Ner was unable to move for a moment as he digested the intense pain.

In the meantime, Berg notices her presence.

“…?”

And as soon as I saw her face, that cold expression melted away.

Looks like he’s always smiling.

“Ner.”

Calls your name in a warm voice.

Only then did Ner be able to move her body.

Blinking her eyes and swallowing her saliva, Ner moved anxiously to Hiberg’s side.

-Sueuk.

“…?”

Before Berg can stop him, Nere carries out her plan.

Take her arm and place her in her arms. Clasp her hand Her tail was wrapped around her waist.

I tried to chase her away with a bit more ferocity… Ner could only feel the berg now being held in her hand.

Even so, Nere looked at the leader of Aracredan with difficulty.

“…Be, don’t come close to Berg.”

Ner said.

“Because it is my… Man… It is mine.”

The warnings I prepared didn’t say anything.
