Incompatible Interspecies Wives chapter 125

125 – Counseling (4)

Arwin was taken aback by the change that had happened to him.

He turned and looked down at Berg through the window.

Since when did I not be able to imagine a life without Berg?

She didn’t know.

Arwin finally shook her head and put her thoughts away.

My heart was beating so fast that I wanted to catch my breath.

She didn’t mean that she was postponing the conclusion of her troubles.

… She, too, was gradually realizing her feelings for her berg.

She told her story like this though, it was from her heart that she didn’t want to tell only her own story.

She was about to meet Sylprien after a long time.

Arwin was also curious about her story.

“…Okay, that topic is over. I…I’ll think about it some more.”

Silprien nodded her head benevolently.

Arwin let out a sigh and refreshed her atmosphere.

She then asked.

“So what about you? In the meantime… are you okay?”

Silprien smiled.

“It’s always hard, well. Still, her colleagues are kind, so she can do her best.”

“There was talk that the war would end soon.”

“I killed 4 intelligent demons, and now only the demon king and his right arm remain. It looks like it’s coming to an end.”

“Thank God.”

Silprien shrugged her shoulders as if it was something else.

“…But I don’t know what will happen if something like this happens again. This time, I endured because of the red yeomdan… I have to be careful until the end.”

At Sylprien’s words, Arwyn remembered a story she had heard the other day.

After a moment of agony, she asks.

“…Sister. It’s a bit of a cautionary tale.”

“Yes.”

“…Is it okay with 4 people?”

“…”

Silprien made a confused expression at those words.

“Can we win the war without the warriors of Rin…?”

She heard that Rin’s fighter was killed in action.

Is it okay without one person?

“Because I keep worrying about my sister…”

Sylprien looked at Arwyn and said.

“Rin’s champion must exist somewhere.”

“What?”

Arrwyn spoke again cautiously at Silprien’s words.

“But Rin’s fighter is already…”

“Yes. It was very painful then. But…Thrykal may not have been Rin’s fighter.”

Silprien lightly exposed her collarbone, showing the pattern of Nikal, the god of harmony.

“Rin doesn’t have a pattern. Naturally, Rin’s warriors don’t have these patterns either. To put it simply, you don’t know who the Rin fighters are. I feel sorry for Thrical to talk like this with now, but…”

While Arwyn was puzzled, Sylprien spoke.

“Anyway, I hope Rin’s champion exists. Like you said, we might not be able to win the war without the warriors of Rin.”

Silprien said with a painful smile.

“I need Rin’s fighters to kill the remaining demons…”

“What do you mean…?”

Silprien continued her explanation while drinking her tea.

Stories bite after tail.

“Um…How should I explain it. Did you know that there are 5 intelligent demons excluding the demon king?”

Arwin nodded his head.

“As I said earlier, four of them are dead. Only the Demon King and his right arm remained.”

“Right. But you should know again… All of our fighters were given a score to kill each demon.”

“…?”

“And things are going according to the prophecy. I also killed an intelligent demon. Felix also broke one. Akran and the saintess too.”

“Did the saintess kill the demons too?”

“The demon that was killed by the saintess could not bear the divinity of her saintess and melted away.”

Silprien sighed and continued.

“So now there is only one left. Excluding the demon king… That right arm remains.”

“…”

“When Felix said he would kill the demon king, the right arm of the demon king had to be killed by a champion of green. That’s why Gail is so obsessed with finding Rin’s fighter.”

“…………..”

Arwin stiffens at the strange sensation he felt at the moment.

“…Gail follows Berg…?”

Muttered as if she were talking to herself.

Silprien answered that.

“I didn’t know.”

“……Huh?”

“…I heard that Berg, a human mercenary, is also a candidate for Rin’s fighter.”

The fear that surrounds Arwin comes.

For a moment, her mind went blank, and she was unable to say anything.

Does this mean that Berg must join the warriors?

“….”

I didn’t ask about this, but I didn’t like Gale’s company if it was because of this.

Even his own actions in persuading Berg start stabbing him in the chest.

At that unrealistic story, Arwin shook her head.

I was worried to death just because I was already a mercenary, but I couldn’t tolerate becoming a party of warriors.

“…That can’t be.”

So she started to deny that fact itself.

“Why is Berg a fighter for solitude? He’s the vice-captain of the human mercenary corps? Does he even have two wives? It is far from solitude.”

Uncharacteristically flustered, I spat her words out in rapid fire.

Silprien looked at her like that, and she calmly explained, as always.

“Arwin. I know that?”

“…What?”

“The chosen fighters gain great power…But there is a price to pay for it.”

I didn’t know why Sylprien suddenly said this, but Arwyn asked in line with her rhythm.

“…For example?”

“Felix, chosen by the god of courage, may look brave, but in fact he is very timid. He’s always enduring the ordeal of overcoming that fear. Because of that, he gains the power to wield the holy sword.”

“…”

“It is a story that even Felix, who was chosen by the god of courage, is far from courage on the surface. If you think about it… Is the courage of a being that does not feel fear is courage? Isn’t the courage of a cowardly person truly courageous?”

“…Then what about you?”

“I honestly want to run away from this conflict.”

Silprien smiled.

Alwin could understand that.

An elf who was close to death was an existence that could not be easily found no matter where he looked.

There was no one who would give up that long lifespan.

“Nevertheless, we are trying to keep harmony in a place overflowing with conflicts and fights. That’s why I can use more powerful magic.”

Silprien kept her silence for a moment… She opened her mouth as if she had made up her mind.

“…The saint too. The saintess is also enduring trials. In fact, the saintess… Has a man in her heart.”

Arwin paid attention to the secret story.

“…Really?”

“….”

Silprien answered slowly.

“Yes.”

“…The saintess?”

“There is a person I want to share love with… There is a man I love with all my heart… You are keeping your chastity even from that man. I don’t know how to say it like this… She doesn’t want to be chaste, but should I say she keeps her chastity. Looking at it from the side… I think that’s what it means to be innocent. Just like a timid person takes courage.”

Arwin let out a short breath at that great story.

“That’s the saintess’ ordeal. Because of that, she gained the power to heal people.”

Alwin was gradually able to understand what Silprien was saying.

At the same time, compassion for the saintess bloomed.

How does it feel to be unable to be with the person you love?

Maybe she is just as concerned about Berg’s lifespan as she is.

Her sylprien spoke to her like that.

“Isn’t the fighter of solitude similar?”

At those words, Arwin’s heart was nervous for some reason.

“…Isn’t the person who most wants to be with his colleagues enduring the ordeal of not being able to be with them? Or that you are constantly experiencing the pain of separation from loved ones.”

“……”

“The funny thing is that it is known that the fighters of solitude do not have any special powers, so it is difficult to identify who they are.”

Arwin recalled the image of Berg visiting the graves of his comrades from time to time.

Arwin bit his lip as much as there was a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of

She looked down at Berg through her window again.

His reliable shoulders looked droopy today.

Arwin shook her head.

“…No. It can’t be. Berg…”

Silprien adds.

“She has two wives, but neither of you love them.”

Arwin speaks of him as if he were making excuses.

“…Ner is like that…Isn’t it?”

“You?”

“…I…Maybe…”

Arwin bit his lip.

I feel like I’ll get an answer, but it was hard to say it out loud.

Even Berg couldn’t tell anyone what he hadn’t heard yet.

It must have been because of the uniqueness of the emotion itself.

It wasn’t easy for him to admit that he had made a choice he would regret.

She was the first to know her love.

Sylprien looked at Arwin’s expression and relaxed her mood.

“Of course, everything is speculation.”

Arwyn snapped at Sylprien’s words.

That way, I felt comfortable.

“…Yes. Berg will not be a fighter for Rin.”

She murmured at the thought that he might be in further danger.

“…It has to be no.”

****

I looked at my brother Adam who appeared in front of me.

His horse gallops in a furious charge.

My brother sees my face, sighs, and jumps off his horse.

Then he approached me without saying a word and put his hand on the back of my neck and asked.

“…Are you okay?”

From noble mtl dot com

As usual, he would have been nagging me, but he is asking me.

Perhaps as much as I told him about Shien, he seemed to be worried about me right now.

I nodded briefly.

My brother also nodded and loosened his hand … Looked at me again and said.

“…It doesn’t look good.”

At that, I laughed.

It was only then that my brother smiled at me.

We looked around.

Sighs of relief were coming out from here and there.

The tense soldiers seemed to realize that they had survived.

From the battle that lasted for several days to this moment.

Even if I let go of hope, it was a moment I couldn’t blame.

Their relief was understandable.

My brother told me to see them.

“Berg, as you may know… the King is here.”

I nodded.

“…I don’t think it will cause much trouble…But be careful.”

“Okay.”

I answered his words.

“Berg!”

At that moment, a loud and bright voice rang from the side.

It was Ner who came out of the mansion after realizing that the situation had been resolved.

She came to me wagging her tail.

Then he greeted Adam first.

“Captain, long time no see.”

“Lady Blackwood, long time no see. Are there any places where you feel uncomfortable?”

“Yes, thanks to Berg.”

Ner grabbed my forearm as a crowd of people rushed into the plaza.

“Berg. Is it okay to go around now? Are there any problems?”

Nodding my head, I smiled at Ner.

At that moment, I felt a gaze on the side of my head.

“…”

“…”

When I looked in the direction my eyes were coming from, I saw Xian looking at me from afar.

Looks like he’s about to burst into tears.

As before, he had a childlike expression.

His trembling lips are bitten tight, and his fists are tightly clenched.

The nose and eyes are dyed like red flowers.

It was a very unfair and very resentful expression.

… Still, she didn’t take her eyes off me.

“….”

-Doo-doo-doo-doo…!

In the meantime, there was a group of people flocking to the mansion next to Red Flame.

Knights appear in dazzling armor.

He also had the pattern of Hea.

“…Uh.”

Ner grabbed my arm as the paladins appeared.

I think it was because I was angry with them the other day.

“Be…Berg…”

I said it was okay not to do it, but Ner was holding my arm tightly.

The whole body adheres to my arm and shows a slightly uneasy feeling.

At Ner’s actions, which would have made him smile normally, he couldn’t smile the way he used to.

I know that the warrior party was in danger.

I can understand that he appeared out of concern for Shien.

…But I also felt that they came for a more pressing reason than that.

The reason was probably the reunion between me and Shien.

Because it was the Church of Hea that came to visit me a few months ago to check on me.

A being dressed in the brightest clothes enters the front yard of the mansion panting.

“Where is the saintess…!”

I looked at him and asked Adam.

“Who are you?”

“…The Archbishop of the Order of Hea.”

At that time.

“Who is the farmer!!!”

At the same time as my older brother answered, someone shouted in anger.

It was a voice filled with resentment that made the bones go cold.

At the end of that cry, sobs echo.

“….”

I gritted my teeth at the sound.

Unsurprisingly, silence fell over the entire plaza.

A quiet hum starts here and there.

‘Holy Maid…?’

‘That’s the first time I’ve seen him get angry like that.’

‘Huh? You seem to be crying…?’

Ner whispered to me in a worried voice.

“…Why does the saintess…”

The Archbishop staggered off his horse in fright.

Then his eyes went over all the onlookers for a moment.

I didn’t know if he was worried about his reputation or if he didn’t want to show the conflicts of the Hea Church.

The bishop’s eyes, which were scanning the spectators, soon met Ner’s white tail… And then it reached me.

Perhaps he figured out my identity through Ner.

The Archbishop then gulped and knelt before Shien.

“…Seo…Saint…I’ll explain everything…”

“No…?”

Shien was expressing anger that even I had never seen before.

As if it symbolizes the pain of being rejected by me.

As if to show me how sick you are.

“I don’t want to hear it right now. It doesn’t change the fact that you lied to me.”

The soldiers who did not know the context realized that the situation was getting serious.

While the strange atmosphere was catching on, Shien looked at the paladins who had followed the archbishop and gave orders.

“Paladins.”

Among them, one person who appears to be the leader of the Holy Knights replies.

“Yes, saintess.”

“Whose orders do you follow? Is this the person chosen by the Hea Church… Or am I the one who was chosen directly by Hea?”

“….”

A commotion arises among the Holy Knights.

“…Respond quickly.”

But Shien said as if he couldn’t afford to wait.

At the same time, her gaze found me.

The expression on her face, hardened by her anger, came back to that childlike expression.

I felt like I was about to whimper and shed tears.

That expression was telling me.

If you accept me now, I will stop all of this.

I won’t dare to act so drastically.

“…”

But I didn’t give her an answer.

Nerman was just next to me, arms crossed.

“Uhhhhh…”

Seeing my actions, Shien buried her face in her hands.

“…Follow the saintess.”

The commander of the Holy Knights replied after a brief silence.

She whispered as Shien covered her expression.

She commands.

“Then this… this…”

Shien said in anguish as if squeezing her bad words through her head.

“… Put this liar in prison.”

After hesitating for a while, the commander of the Holy Knights got off his horse first.

The rest of the Paladins also followed his actions.

“No! Saintess! Uh, you shouldn’t be like this!!”

The Archbishop was desperate, but he was soon overpowered by the Paladins and began to be dragged away.

“…Berg.”

Adam muttered next to him.

“…”

“…Is it my fault?”

He asks.

“…”

Perhaps the fact that he had arranged the marriage was caught inside.

He was the older brother who gave me an apologetic expression when I told him about Sien.

“…”

I silently shook my head.
