53 . Noah’s Dangerous Taste
The blood scattered in the dining room was my own.
You couldn’t make Noah a murderer.
I didn’t want to see my daughter being grabbed and taken away by the guards right in front of me.
It was the result of that momentary thought.
She reached out and took the dagger that was aimed at the man.
How can a human palm withstand a sharp-forged long weapon? It is said that it is full of calluses from doing the dirty work, but in the end it is a lump of flesh. Of course, my palm was pierced by Noah’s dagger, and the table was splattered with blood. The landlady who was bringing the water witnessed the scene, and in an instant, the woman, whose face turned blue, dropped the water she had brought on the floor and raised her voice by holding her cheeks with both hands.
Several guests who were not interested in us until then all looked at us, and gasping sounds could be heard from everywhere.
It didn’t take long for a series of disturbances to spread throughout the store. It was as fast as a dry leaf igniting and the fire spreading to the mountain.
I thought of an excuse to throw at the stares we were sitting at.
The pain in the palm continued after that.
I stood up, bowed my head, and apologized to the guests who had interrupted their good time.
“Sorry. After arguing for a while….”
Does it make sense to fight to the point of blood spattering? You might think so, but it often happens among rough sailors. They are the men of men who laugh and drink alcohol the next day, even with the person who stabbed them in the stomach. I made a poor excuse that I would be ashamed of even thinking about it, then grabbed Noah’s wrist and lifted him up from his seat.
Seeing the wounds on my palms, Noah, whose face turned white, stood up as I obediently led him.
I calmed Noah down.
“Are you okay? Let’s go out at once.”
There was still half of Noah’s food left, but he wasn’t in the mood to eat more.
Only then did Noah come out of the store and opened his mouth with a weeping expression as he stared blankly at the dagger in my hand.
“Dad, the blood….”
“This is fine.”
Actually, it wasn’t okay. I threw it so hard that the dagger that pierced my hand showed no sign of coming out. If the handle hadn’t been caught, it would have penetrated.
The thought sent goose bumps down my spine, but if I hadn’t blocked it with the palm of my hand, the forehead or neck of the man behind me would have been pierced.
Considering that one person’s life was saved with one palm, the price was quite cheap.
I didn’t want to show Noah a distorted look on my face, so I turned my back, pulled out the dagger stuck in his hand, and threw it on the floor.
Blood began to flow from the punctured palm, but rather than the physical pain, the skepticism that my daughter had committed such a thing came over me first.
At that time, was the corporal punishment I did, the corporal punishment they inflicted on me meaningless?
If there is no change, who will comfort the pain in my calf that was on the verge of breaking?
I asked, looking directly at Noah.
I couldn’t believe that I had committed such a thing because Noah was usually more calm than anyone else, and my voice trembled as if I was representing him.
I never shivered because of the pain in my palm.
“Noah, didn’t you promise your father not to harm others?”
Noah averted his sorrowful eyes to another place, and only his lips moved.
“But….”
Noah, who only opened his mouth to that point, looked as if he would cry at any moment.
I understand.
I want to talk, but I feel like sobs mixed with emotions will come out first.
Besides, there was no thought of reprimanding her in the middle of such a street.
Others passed by watching me as if I was bleeding, and there was a good chance that the guards would come soon after.

First of all, getting out of this place was an urgent priority.
I grabbed Noah’s wrist with my bloodless hand and continued walking down the street.
Even Noah, she did not open her mouth to say a word, quietly matching her feet to my steps, whether she was aware of her guilt that she felt herself.
In a back alley with few people, I leaned against the wall and finally let go of Noah’s wrist.
It’s only after she regains her composure that pain sets in in her palm. A burning sensation in the injured area, as if it were on fire.
Contrary to my mixed feelings, when I looked at the unnecessarily clear sky, I was seized by an indescribable feeling.
This has never happened before.
Although they had a bit of an erratic side that was different from other kids their age, they were still kind kids who were considerate of others. Occasionally, the women in the neighborhood avoided her daughter, but that was because they didn’t want to go around because of the beauty of elves, so I thought so.
I thought it was the pure cruelty of children, so it seemed that their nature had bloomed more cruelly than I thought. He wasn’t evil enough to take his life just because he caused me pain.
Noah pointed to my palm and asked.
“Dad, it’s okay… ?”
“Yeah, it’s okay.”
Actually, it wasn’t okay. Since he was in front of his daughter, he tried to show a calm appearance, but borrowing her honest feelings, he wanted to get treatment right away.
Recently, I felt like I was often hurt by her daughter’s attack, but I couldn’t show it.
When Noah said I was okay, she must have been a bit relieved. She relaxed her expression slightly and touched my bloody hand.
I opened her mouth as I stepped back as I watched her hands stained with my blood.
“Noah, you can’t touch it because it’s dirty.”
Noah shook her head, took her hand and pulled it towards him.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I was helplessly taken by Noah. Noah, holding my hand tightly with both of her hands, began licking her wound with her own tongue.
Like a dog or cat drinking water, moving her tongue from bottom to top and licking up the flowing blood.
Every time her slippery tongue touched the wound, a moan of pain flowed from her mouth.
Every time she moved her mouth, the fresh blood flowing under her brown skin stood out.
Noah blushed and was already intent on tickling my palm with an expression that he couldn’t hear me.
“Dad’s taste….”
Her tongue entwined between her fingers, Noah’s tongue, like a snake, tasting my whole hand.
It’s tickling. Before I could even feel that emotion, shame preceded it.
The blood dripping down her chin fell on Noah’s chest, which formed a voluptuous curve because it was not gentle, and as she watched the drops of blood spreading like petals on her fabric, her mouth was dripping with dry saliva.
“It’s delicious….”
Noah savored my blood with the expression that she was eating something better than the food she had just eaten at the restaurant.
She even got goosebumps at the sight. She had heard that there was also cannibalism in the form of love. The kind who eat him and delusion that they can live together forever.
I hoped that Noah wasn’t that kind of person, and I managed to get Noah out of my hands.
Noah licked his lips in regret and stared at my face.
Noah looked at me with a meaningful expression and spoke to me in a small voice with a shy smile like before.
“Are you okay now?”
Are you okay now? I reflexively looked at Noah’s licked palm.
The bloodless palm, the wound that had been pierced by the dagger had healed as if it had never happened.
Does elf saliva have a healing effect? Never heard of it
As if Noah knew this from before, he licked my palm and asked if I was okay.
I looked at Noah with an incomprehensible expression.
My daughter, who boasted of every trivial detail to me, couldn’t have hidden such an important fact from me.
Everything has changed since the day I revealed my past.
In the first place, were these my precious daughters whom I knew?
Once aroused, doubts were not easily subdued.
Now I needed time to organize my thoughts. I took Noah’s hand, tried to smile at her and spoke as usual.
“Let’s go back for now.”
Hearing that, Noah’s bright smile, nodding her head, somehow seemed cruel.

Returning to her quarters, Noah, with her somber expression on her face, headed for the room where her sisters were waiting.
“Ah, are you here?”
Elia casually greeted Noah, who stood blankly as she scribbled on Rihanna’s face, who had a liberated expression on her face.
Noah didn’t even reply, and lay down on her bed as if to collapse.
After spending time alone with Ain, and Noah, who should have been smiling with her happiness by now, reacted like that, the rest of the children started to notice each other.
Moreover, Olivia, who confirmed that her Noah’s hands were stained with her blood, widened her eyes and spared her words.
Even asking what happened was a cautious atmosphere.
It was Stella who sat next to Noah and naturally talked to him.
Stella asked cautiously, stroking the back of Noah’s hair, who seemed to be downcast.
“Noah, what happened?”
Only then did Stella realize the ideal.
Noah was not gloomy. On the contrary, she was so overcome with joy that she couldn’t even speak properly.
Noah, who was enjoying the silent joy with her shoulders up and her face buried in her pillow, opened her mouth for the first time.
“Yeah, it’s no big deal. Just because I found out that her dad is more delicious than I thought….”
At Noah’s short words, the four present were speechless.
