Incompatible Interspecies Wives chapter 132

132 – Old Love (1)

Shien pretended to be returning, then looked back.

There, I saw Nere smiling and leaving.

Berg turned his back and I couldn’t tell what expression he was on, but he looked as happy as Ner beside him.

“…”

She once thought she had the same expression as Nere Blackwood by his side.

It must have been.

Shien knew all too well that that was the charm of a person named Berg.

A blunt but kind person. The one who helps even if he sacrifices himself.

Maybe it’s because he knows Berg better than anyone else… I was so envious of Nere.

I was jealous that I could smile without any worries.

That noble would not know how much he wanted to be embraced by Berg, or how much he wanted to hold his hand.

Before she knew it, tears were flowing in her eyes once again.

“…”

Shien silently wiped away those tears.

Crying like this can be tiring, but my body didn’t react like a horse.

I kept thinking of memories with Berg.

I have been with Berg since I was 9 years old. She had only Berg in her life.

No matter how many people supported her as a saint, no matter how many people around her took care of everything… Without a person named Berg, nothing was meaningless.

She was the one who didn’t mind if only Berg could be by her side, even if she rested in a shabby house, even if she starved sometimes.

That Berg now has another woman by his side.

In addition to that, they say goodbye tomorrow.

Berg said he wanted to cut off the relationship cleanly with that.

“…”

Shien gritted his teeth.

Resist the urge to run to him right away.

Separation was an unacceptable story.

I couldn’t believe that this was my last meeting with him.

She really said that this was the end… She was the one who had no regrets in the world anymore.

In her world, Berg was everything.

She plans to live a happy life with him, which is what she has been enduring.

In that dream, it was also that he was still enduring the immediate pain.

But the further you go, the less hope there is.

A gloomy and heavy pressure of not knowing what to do weighs on her chest.

Shien tried harder to forget her goal.

The fact that the demon king had to die still hasn’t changed at all.

It still took the fact that Berg was doing her mercenary thing… But that part was something she couldn’t do anymore.

She just had to finish what she was doing silently.

At the same time, she believed firmly in her heart.

There’s no way Berg could hate you.

She understands being angry, but she can’t hate herself.

You can tell just by looking at his eyes.

I can tell just by hearing his breathing.

We have been together for more than 6 years.

He was a Berg I had seen since childhood, so I knew him even more.

When we were very young, we even washed our bodies together. He even remembers the number of dots on his back.

As such, it was easy to look inside him.

He didn’t hate himself. It couldn’t be.

Now he was just more cold-hearted towards his wives.

As much as he liked himself, he only pushed harder.

Berg always tried to do his duty diligently.

He was just trying to do his duty… He didn’t hate himself.

Because I knew that, I didn’t even know that Shien was holding out right now.

She took a deep breath and turned her body around.

His head was complicated.

To prepare for the breakup, I gave Ner Blackwood a book containing medical knowledge.

But at the same time, she doesn’t want to say goodbye to him.

She just wanted to be held in his arms.

But as I thought before… He seemed to never find the strength to stand up again if he was hugged by him.

She seemed to want to rest her life in his arms.

The goal of becoming the Demon King is right in front of his nose, and he seemed to stop at that warmth.

If you think so, this might be better.

Because he treated himself coldly, he might be able to gather the strength to move forward.

…So, Shien comforted himself.

If I don’t do it like this, I think it will be difficult to endure.

Sien enters the mansion.

All the warriors who were waiting for her return cast their eyes.

I could see how worried they were.

Nevertheless, they pretended not to know, and went back to their rooms one by one.

When Shien returned, she seemed relieved.

“…Should we sleep now? I am tired.”

Felix spoke and rose from his seat,

“Let’s do it. I was just about to get sleepy.”

Akran also stood up and stepped outside.

“…”

Only Sylprien looked at Shien worriedly with her stern expression. She seemed to be the only one who couldn’t hide her inner feelings.

Shien had no strength in her body.

I went to my room feeling grateful to my colleagues who pretended not to know.

“…Saint?”

Sylprien calls and stops her as she moves forward.

“…Yes?”

“Can we talk for a minute?”

Shien blinked her eyes at Sylprien.

Her story with Silprien has always given her strength.

Perhaps it is still like that.

So she nodded.

.

.

.

.

“…Are you okay?”

Silprien asked while pouring tea for Shien in her private quarters.

Shien could no longer hide her inner feelings.

“…No.”

So she answered so honestly.

A loved one pushes himself away, how can he be okay when he has another woman by her side.

She wanted to push all the women around her and take her place.

It was possible in the past.

Because we had a firm relationship with each other. I loved you so much

But now the relationship has changed so much.

Rather, the women by his side have gained a justification to push themselves away.

In other words, it was as if Shien was being sloppy by her married man.

Shien laughed.

How did things come this far?

“…I think I’m about to collapse.”

So Shien said.

As she entered recently, she was revealing herself as weak.

She also knew it was a nuisance. Sylprien must also have the pressure on her shoulders.

But Shien couldn’t afford it. She had no strength left.

She felt like grabbing at a straw.

“….”

Silprien let out a short sigh.

She said Silprien, who hesitated for a while with a painful expression on her face.

“…Saint.”

While saying that, Silprien continued to hesitate.

She

She seemed to be contemplating whether or not she should even tell her.

As if she doesn’t know which is the right choice, she is conflicted.

And whenever that happened, she looked at Shien’s expression and bit her lip.

As if she’s got all her heart.

“…Have hope…”

Shien sighed. And shakes her head

“…I want to.”

She laughed at herself.

Silprien still hesitated.

As if she still had something to say.

“…Saint… I shouldn’t have said this… But…”

Sylprien seemed desperate as well.

She seemed to be hoping for Shien to give her strength.

“…Not yet…That vice-captain…”

“……?”

“…I will love you the most.”

Shien smiled hard at that answer.

She knew it was a comforting word, but she liked the feeling it gave her nonetheless.

As Shien made her subtle expression, Sylprien took over.

“….It’s not just words.”

From noble mtl dot com

“…Yes?”

Sylprien looked around for a while.

Even though there are only two of them in the room, they seem to be careful.

Then Silprien leaned over to Shien.

Speaks in a low voice, like a whisper.

“…. Mr. Berg is still… With his wives…”

“….”

“…They… Don’t seem to have a good relationship.”

Shien’s expression went blank.

What the hell does that mean?

Silprien’s words turned her head into a blank slate, and while she couldn’t react, the elf took over.

“…This is a story I heard directly from Arwin. The thing that seems to get along with her wives is …. She said it was acting. They’re trying to keep the mercenaries safe by pretending to be on good terms with nobles…”

“……Acting…?”

“Of course there is friendship…But I heard it’s not even love. In particular, did Nere Blackwood say that she could never love the vice-captain?”

“……”

“…That’s why, saintess.

Shien chewed on the words, blinking her eyes.

She even recalled the conversation she had with Arwin a few days ago.

‘…What should I do?’

This is Arwin who asked what to do with Berg.

From Nere Blackwood to Arwin Celebrien.

I wonder if they both ended up in a arranged marriage and didn’t even share their feelings.

Shien let out her wild laugh.

She laughed so helplessly for a while.

She buried her hand in her face, hiding her expression from Sylprien.

I was confused by what she had just heard.

Perhaps it was because of the conversation he had with Arwin, it wasn’t hard to believe Silprien’s words.

But there was something reassuring about this story… On the other hand, it was only more unpleasant.

I wonder if the women who don’t even know how precious Berg are by his side.

I wonder if he’s underestimating Berg because he’s a noble.

I wonder if there was a basic reluctance because it was an arranged marriage.

“…You said you couldn’t… Love Berg…?”

“…”

At the same time, Berg felt sorry for him.

It was Shien who knew what kind of person he was.

She was like that from the slums.

He lived a rough life, but he was a berg who liked tranquility.

It was Berg who liked to watch the sunset from the top of the hill where the wind blows.

I wonder if he is fighting a fierce battle with his wives.

Couldn’t even his wives give him peace?

Shien continued to laugh.

It all seemed like her own fault.

If I hadn’t really left Berg’s side, wouldn’t it have been this kind of pain?

Or if I just told Berg to wait, could all this misfortune have been avoided?

She spent the night like that again, clutching her aching chest.

****

The days of going back to Stockpin are back.

After the chaos that had descended upon the Jackson family estate had calmed down, everyone prepared to return to their respective positions.

The two sons of the Jackson family were brought to the capital for trial.

The Dom family also decided to return to their territory, but only the Pantra family decided to stay for another day.

Numerous soldiers lined up, and numerous cavalrymen had already headed out of the territory.

I feel that the work at the Jackson estate is gradually coming to an end.

I chatted with Adam for a while and made plans to return.

Which direction to head, nowhere to go, etc…

This time, it was after the boss, Joe, had also received the reward for saving the group of warriors.

As they recruited human recruits to join the mercenary corps within the Jackson estate, there was only one thing left to do.

“…Are you okay?”

After the rough conversation, Adam asked.

“…”

I was silent for a moment, then nodded.

I haven’t come up with an exact answer yet, but it should be okay.

I was trying my best not to get caught up in the past.

I was envisioning a new future with my wives.

In that painting… There was no more Shien.

The Dom family departed with final courtesy to the king.

Along with him, the Red Flame Team also began to prepare for departure.

Baran, Crian, and Theodore took some of the scarlet troupes and headed outside, leaving me, Adam, Sean and Jackson, and the other bosses to tie the knot.

Ner and Arwin were also standing by my side.

I stood by my brother’s side and said my final goodbyes to the king.

…I didn’t see Shien or the warriors.

“Let’s go.”

Adam said.

The king nodded his head.

In the meantime, Gale appeared out of nowhere and joined me.

“…”

Looking at him, Gail explains.

“…You haven’t been taught by me yet, have you? I will still follow you.”

“…”

I shrugged.

Right now, I couldn’t afford to pay attention to Gale.

“By the way, how about taking lessons from me now? Like I said, you don’t have to believe in God. There’s nothing wrong with improving your skills.”

I blinked and nodded slightly.

“…I will think about it.”

After the greetings between brother Adam and the king were over, I turned around.

-Kikkik! Thud!

At that time, the door of the mansion burst open and a group of warriors rushed out.

Cien was at the forefront.

My eyes are red from how much I cried again.

It seemed like he had come out of hiding because he didn’t want to say goodbye to me.

“…..Ha…Ha…”

“……”

I have experienced a lot of breakups…But the feeling of parting with Xian was strange and heavy.

Even though she treats her coldly like that, her feet don’t drop right away.

…But even this was something I had to accept.

Adam and Gail secretly touched each other as if comforting me and moved on.

Ner and Arwin watched the saintess for a while.

I also looked at Xian.

“…”

“…”

It was the last time.

My old childhood friend.

My best friend.

The woman I loved.

It seemed like we would never meet again.

As such… I blinked hard at her eyes and greeted her.

Like putting my whole past down.

Can others understand the difficulty of putting down these heavy emotions?

I turned around like that.

“Bell!!!”

At that time, a loud voice shook the entire space.

Our personal nicknames shake things up.

She firmly holds on to the bond she had let go of.

I couldn’t move even one step… My legs stiffened.

The nickname with countless memories tightened my heart again.

My memory has faded now how much I once loved that title.

“…Bell?”

“…”

Ner and Arwin look at me questioning the title.

It wasn’t clear who he was referring to, but he instinctively stopped and looked at me.

They looked at me and Xien alternately, frowning anxiously.

“…”

I gritted my teeth.

…Our relationship we couldn’t hide after all.

I couldn’t even hide my troubled heart any longer.

I looked behind me with a wrinkled expression.

It was an expression I wanted to harden coldly, but I ended up making only a weak expression.

There stood Shien, shedding another tear, looking straight at me.

-….Sure…

She slowly stretched out her arms.

“…”

“…”

Shien said he shouldn’t touch me, and shrugged.

She shed tears before she knew it.

“…Hug me.”

Told me to leave.

Leaving aside her appearance as a saint.

As Shien, in front of everyone, he begged me.

“…Let’s stop acting…Uhhh…Me…Hug me, Belle.”
