Incompatible Interspecies Wives chapter 137

137 – Capital (1)

Time passed, and we were approaching the capital.

A trip that lasts for several days builds up fatigue in the body.

My head hurts thinking about the things that will happen at the same time.

How many troublesome things will you be involved with in the capital?

I just wanted to go back to Stockpin after doing what I had to do.

Gail rode up to me like this.

“You will see the capital soon.”

I looked ahead at his words.

I haven’t seen anything yet.

I sighed and asked Gail.

“When can we go back?”

Gail shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t know. Wouldn’t His Majesty send it if enough time has passed? I may not be able to go back anytime soon.”

“…”

“Don’t worry, Berg. I will help you.”

Gail promised to continue to stand by me like that.

Every time his promise continued, I felt at ease.

Then Gail tells me.

“Berg. There are also things to be careful of in the capital.”

I looked at Gale’s face as he warned me.

He continued.

“…It’s better not to deal with nobles.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Because it is the capital city, there are people from various families. If you go around here and there for no reason, you might end up with ugly hair. Wouldn’t it be noisy because of the problem with the saintess?”

“…”

I nodded in agreement. Yet says

“I don’t want to get involved too.”

“Then I’m glad. Again, don’t worry too much, I’ll be there to help you no matter what.”

“…I understand.”

Gail, who had been silent for a moment, momentarily asked like a snake.

“By the way, Berg…”

“…?”

“…How about going to the capital or training together?”

The subject is brought up again.

Now, as if he heard a funny prank, he burst out laughing.

Gail smiled as well.

At any given time, he seemed intent on teaching me.

I sighed.

I wonder if it’s because I’ve had a lot of things to complicate my head lately.

I was itching to move my body a little more vigorously.

I looked at Gale.

“…”

Then he nodded slightly.

As much as it was training with Gale, who had been rejecting it to some extent because of Shien’s work… Now, I couldn’t find a reason to refuse the training either.

Gail responds with a smile at my nod.

“You made a good choice.”

He said.

I looked ahead again.

“…Berg.”

“…”

“How is your relationship with your wives?”

I rode the horse in front and saw Arwin and Ner.

The relationship with his wives was sealed.

There was still some awkwardness left, but we made eye contact. Hold hands sometimes They also smiled at each other.

The hand he held after the fight felt quite different.

Unusual thoughts run through my head.

I thought that even these are the sensations that come from this kind of relationship.

“…”

I didn’t bother to answer.

Because it was an answer I couldn’t understand anymore.

Gail said to my reaction.

“…Still, things will work out, Berg. Didn’t those two smile happily by your side?”

“…I’m glad you felt that way.”

“It’s not fortunate, it’s a great thing. No one is as special as Ner-nim and Arwin-“

At that, I smiled and said.

“-The head of the Pantra family said the same thing. He said it was strange that beings as special as Ner and Arwin were tied to me.”

“Mir Pantra?”

I raised my eyebrows as I looked at Gail, who looked puzzled.

“Is there a problem?”

Gail thought for a moment and shook her head.

“…There is nothing wrong with that. It’s just that Lizardmen’s thoughts are always unique…”

I nodded at that bland remark.

For a moment there was silence between us.

…I finally asked. It must have been because he also remembered the story Mir Pantra had told him.

“…Gail.”

“I am listening.”

A difficult question.

“…Is polygamy abolished?”

“…”

“…The King seems to want that.”

Gail sighs too.

“…Not without possibility.”

I laughed at that absurd story.

The reason I reacted like this to a story that I would have been very angry with and opposed to if I had the same mind… Was because I thought that my wives might want it.

In the end, they were bound by an arranged marriage.

We are forcibly tied together.

In the meantime, this fight continues.

If I reduce my greed, one person might gain freedom.

Of course, this was just my idea.

I quarreled with her wives, but that did not prove that they wanted to break up with me.

Because everyone gets into a fight at least once.

I thought it would be nice if they eventually wanted to stay by my side.

So tell Gale.

“Gael.”

“I am listening.”

“…I hate it.”

“…You know.”

“…I hope you can convince the king.”

Gail looked at me.

I also faced such a Gale.

After a long time, he nodded.

“…Yes. I will try.”

He said, holding his breath.

“…Still, if I had to give you some advice for the worst…”

“…”

“…It might be good to make a child.”

I laughed again at his words.

“…That’s a story I’ve heard before.”

…But it wasn’t like it was said.

****

Set up a last camp before reaching the capital.

If I had to pick a time in the last few days where I could be close to her wives, it would be this moment.

We slept in the same makeshift tent, and we had a few conversations.

I was also waiting for today’s break.

As of today, I wanted to resolve the awkwardness with her wives.

I wanted to do that before arriving in the capital.

I’m not the only one like this.

Nerdo Arwin kept looking sideways at me, and I could feel that he was of the same mind as me.

Is it because he also listened to Gale’s advice?

I had a desire to get even a little closer to her.

It wasn’t that I wanted to forcefully impregnate them and make them subordinate to me.

Pregnancy still sounds like a distant story to me.

But that didn’t mean there was any reluctance.

First of all, I had a desire to get closer.

For that to happen, the current situation shouldn’t continue.

I was finishing the day with the crew, thinking about how to get closer to them.

“I borrow water from the Quartermaster and use it. Tomorrow, Burns will-“

“-Berg?”

At that time, someone called me.

The crew members are also polite.

Arwin was standing behind.

“…”

An expression that reveals a little bit of nervousness.

I wanted to talk to her anyway, but she was the one who approached her first.

I approached her.

“Yes. Say.”

“…Would you like to talk to me for a minute?”

She said.

She is also carrying a small bag.

“The sunset is beautiful.”

While whispering.

“…”

Judging by her atmosphere, she was the one who came to reconcile with me.

As her me, there was no reason to reject her.

Baran reads the mood and nods at me.

“Come on, vice-captain. I will tell the rest of the story to the children.”

“…”

I nodded slowly.

Catch Arwin’s cold wrist.

“…Sigh.”

She moaned for a while, but she didn’t push me away.

I looked around and moved to find a place to rest.

****

Arwin moved her steps while watching the sunset with Berg.

Get away from the large camp set up by the royal family and move far away.

I wasn’t afraid to move alone like this.

With Berg by her side, he felt fine.

He reminded me of the time I went hunting with him in the past.

Is it because of that memory?

As if a cool wind blows into your chest, your uneasy feelings are relieved.

Berg seemed to be the same.

He too moved on with a calmer expression than usual.

“…Wow…”

Arwin, who found a suitable location within a short time, exclaimed.

As expected, there was nothing better than freedom.

Wherever you go, beautiful scenery unfolds anew.

It was the same even now.

The combination of the red sunset and the green plain created a wonderful sight.

“Let’s sit here.”

Berg said that and sat down on the grass.

Arwin nodded and sat down beside him.

Sit like that for a while and let the awkward air flow.

Arwin didn’t know what to say first.

Her reconciliation was not something she was accustomed to with her.

She was the one who had only been fighting her for the past few decades.

Even so, she mustered up courage because she was nervous.

Is it right to waste 60 years of your time like this?

I couldn’t keep the elf’s relaxed attitude.

“…”

As much as she knew her lack of words when it came to her reconciliation… Arwin took her bottle from her bag.

“…What is this?”

When Berg asked, Arwin secretly muttered shyly.

“…Bardi liquor.”

“What?”

“…You wanted to eat it. I asked the royal family soldiers and they said they had it…”

It was once that I felt uncomfortable with bardi alcohol.

As much as I know now that Berg likes bar di liquor, he wanted to bring it to him if he could.

Arwin handed over the glass he had taken out to Berg.

Then she sat discreetly next to him and filled his glass.

“…”

Arwin also took out his glass from his backpack.

He started filling his own cup as well.

Looking at that, Berg asked.

“You don’t drink.”

“…I’ll have a drink.”

It was Arwin who wanted to share a drink at this moment of reconciliation.

He might have been moved by his desire to be like Berg.

Berg smiled softly at those words.

That was it.

There was a meaning to drinking even just to see that.

Soon after, the two clashed glasses and broke them.

Berg looked over at Arwin after drinking and smiled.

It was only then that Arwin noticed that my expression was a bit crumpled.

“…You’re angry.”

She spat it out like her excuse.

Berg snorted.

The reconciliation took place without words.

No one bothered to say sorry.

Arwin wondered if this was a couple.

It seemed that there was a story that could be communicated without words.

The two had a silent conversation for a long time.

After a long time passed, Berg quietly opened his mouth.

“…This is the moment, Arwin.”

Arwin looked up at Berg as he filled his glass.

He was looking at the distant scenery and sunset.

“…Every moment like this, you become more precious.”

“……”

I often shared moments like this with Berg.

Even when saved from the World Tree.

Even in Dems Village.

Even when I went hunting.

Even when it rained in the forest.

There were endless moments where we could feel affection for each other.

Berg seemed to cherish every moment.

Arwin didn’t say anything.

Berg asked in a soft and serious voice as if talking to himself.

“…Is it just me?”

“…”

As Arwyn chose silence as he pondered what to say, Berg turned his head.

The two met eyes.

Arwin felt the infinite beauty of Berg… Again, because it was fleeting.

Emotions are mixed and mixed.

There are many things I want to say, but they don’t leave my mouth easily.

Could there be an opportunity as perfect as this moment?

…To whisper love.

“…”

But at the same time, the battles of the past lingered in my head.

There were also practical problems.

The worries I had put aside didn’t disappear for a moment.

Nevertheless, there was something I wanted to say.

Matching his courage, she also reveals her heart.

“…Me too…”

Bite your lips and repeat.

“…If it wasn’t for the lifespan issue…”

“…?”

Then she drew in a breath.

Looking at Berg’s eyes reflecting the sunset light, Arwin whispered.

“……I must have fallen in love with you long ago.”

“…”

I was sincere.

If it weren’t for her life span, she would have been deeply in love with him without hesitation.

Of course, it was Arwin who was realizing his feelings.

That’s why I’ve been telling Berg how I feel.

“…”

Berg was silent, laughing at that.

Then he held up the filled glass to Arwin.

Alwin also lifted his glass and bumped the glass.

Pass the drink back down your throat.

The taste was definitely different from before.

We haven’t had much conversation since.

I felt the wind blowing and watched the sunset.

Arwin’s head seemed to clear only then.

What was the priority through the conversation…Now it was visible.

Life issues.

I knew it was a problem, but in other words, that was the only problem.

I just need to find a way to solve it.

…What if you could share your long lifespan with Berg?

It is not a short period like 60 years, but living together for hundreds of years.

It is to create memories that are hundreds of times greater than the countless memories we have accumulated over the years.

At that time, there will be no one to disturb them.

Nerdo, the saintess, and nobody else.

In the end, I can’t stay by your side.

By dividing the lifespan in half, the problem of the lifespan of children would also be solved.

I didn’t know if I wouldn’t have to see the sad sight of children born as half-elves dying first.

“…”

It was an idea that came to my mind in an instant.

…I thought it wasn’t that bad.

Sacrifice obviously had to be made.

Assuming it’s possible, it’s a matter of giving one’s life.

You have to give up the day you live for.

The future of living for more than a thousand years and becoming a mythical being must also be abandoned.

…But Arwin knew.

The few months with Berg were much more meaningful than the last 170 years.

So the choice was surprisingly easy.

I felt like I could make a sacrifice.

No, if I could, I would.

Because now I couldn’t imagine life without Berg.

If you think about it, you will live a truly heartbreaking life.

To die on the same day.

I still value Berg, but how much affection will I share with him who has been with me for hundreds of years?

The moment we close our eyes together, we might be able to whisper to each other that it was a happy life.

“…”

Arrwyn didn’t know if there was a way to divide lifespan…

However, just by looking at the world tree, it was possible to share lifespans.

Maybe there is a way.

From noble mtl dot com

If you don’t have it, you might just have to find it.

In addition, it is the road to the capital.

There might be an answer in the capital city.

Thrilling thoughts as they become more concrete.

“…”

Arwin looked at the setting sun with such thoughts.
