Incompatible Interspecies Wives chapter 144

144 – Capital (8)

Arwin walked in silence as he left the king’s office.

I did not have a conversation with Ner.

I didn’t even feel the need to talk.

Although his intentions in wanting abolition were different, we are once again able to see how Ner wanted to leave Berg’s side.

In some ways, this action can be seen as a betrayal of Berg.

Perhaps he is showing his unwavering spirit.

Anyway, in a situation where their true feelings were revealed without hesitation, there was nothing to talk about.

Of course, Arwin wanted the status quo.

With polygamy being abolished, all he wanted to do was have Berg’s side all to himself.

If we have him all to ourselves… How many new aspects will we be able to show to Berg?

How much can he let go of his cowardice and be honest?

As your relationship takes root deeper and your relationship grows stronger, you will be able to show a deeper side to each other.

You will experience many memories and experiences that cannot be accumulated alone.

There was still a long way to go in terms of relationships.

That was the Arwin I was looking forward to.

My heart kept fluttering. This feeling was really unfamiliar to her.

I never imagined that such an instantaneous change would occur.

I didn’t know when the war would end, but it was clear that there would be changes after that.

Probably the Jackson family incident was the trigger.

I could think countless times about why the king bothered to abolish polygamy.

For the throne. Or to eliminate that barbaric culture. Or to prevent what happened to the Jackson family from ever happening again.

…Whatever the reason was, Arwin didn’t care.

I just hope that the law passes.

Perhaps this might be the path for everyone.

Ner just needs to find his destined partner, and Arwin just needs to spend a long time with Berg.

After deciding to share his life, Arwin began to have some free time.

She still hadn’t found the way, but she was determined to find it somehow.

She wasn’t dreaming of something that didn’t exist.

As I thought before, the World Tree was blatantly exploiting the lifespan of the elves.

While walking like that, Ner said.

“…I’m going to come here and get some fresh air for a moment.”

“…”

Ner wants to catch his breath again.

Recently, she has been spending more time alone like that.

Arwin nodded his head.

Anyway, it seemed like it would be easier for Arwin to find Berg, who went back to his room first.

Like that, the two separated and walked away.

****

I walked without saying a word.

My heart has been heavy since I confirmed the feelings of the wives.

I knew it… But it’s still the same.

I feel like the strength I had to hold on has completely undone.

It was said that the war would come to an end due to an all-out attack… But she had no confidence in drastically changing her wives’ minds during that period.

Heavy breath continued to leave my mouth.

I’ve known for a long time that things in this world don’t go as we want, but this time I felt like the hardship was especially severe.

It is psychologically very difficult for either of us not to want to be with me.

The more I thought about it, the more it weighed on me.

The more I remembered the memories we shared, the more uncomfortable this pain became.

At the same time, other worries also find me.

…In this situation, who should we let go?

Should I let Ner go?

Or should I let Arwin go?

If you think about it lightly, Ner may be right.

I heard that the person of destiny is also waiting. Life expectancy is the same as mine.

Unlike Arwin, who has the opportunity to live a different life, if Ner comes to live with me, he will have to live like that for the rest of his life.

But at the same time, I remember what Arwin said to me with tears in his eyes.

If you happen to like me, will you have to live with that memory for the rest of your life?

Perhaps, as she said, it may leave a stigma that will last a lifetime.

I let out another sigh.

I didn’t want to worry like this.

It wasn’t that the selfish heart of wanting to hold them by force wasn’t blooming.

…But of course, now all I can think about is that it’s not right.

After walking like that, I arrive at the inn.

I knocked lightly and opened the door.

-Kkiik…

Inside was Arwin.

I am sitting in a chair by the window.

The pretty outfit hadn’t changed yet.

She gave me a light smile.

“Berg. Where did you go?”

“…”

Why does that smile hurt?

On the one hand, it’s like a smile that shows you don’t want to hurt me.

Just because they said that to the king doesn’t mean they hate me.

It just means that you can’t love.

So, I entered the room, responding with a smile to Arwin, who smiled for the sake of a smooth relationship.

“I came to catch my breath.”

“Is that so?”

“…”

“Right, Berg. I was quite surprised because there were so many novelties at the dinner. Like I said, it was my first time doing something like this, so it was hard to keep a look that wasn’t surprising. And…”

I smiled at Arwin as he continued the conversation.

It’s different from the stiff Arwin I first met.

I was also happy to show a side of me that was gradually invisible to me.

While struggling with complex thoughts, I sometimes wonder if I should cherish the present more.

Because it could be the end.

… I tried to resist her desire to hug her tightly for a while now.

As I saw Arwin talking to me aggressively, which was unusual for her, I started taking off her clothes one by one.

I wanted to take off my uncomfortable clothes first.

Arwin paused for a moment when she saw me like that, but she continued as she was now used to seeing me like that.

If we think about it this way, we both feel a lot more comfortable.

Really, perhaps breaking off a relationship like this before it gets any deeper should be seen as a miracle.

“…Berg?”

“…Huh?”

“But…You look good in clothes, are you changing already?”

I responded to her compliment with a smile.

“…It was inconvenient.”

“…It would have been nice to dance together once.”

“…”

Her eyes blinked, and I spoke to her as she exhaled loudly.

“…Okay. By the way, have you seen Ner?”

“…”

“Arwin?”

“…Yes. “They said they were going for a walk again this time.”

“I’ll come find you. “I’m taking a little rest.”

“Wouldn’t it be good to give it some time to get some air?”

“…”

“…My head seemed complicated today.”

I closed my eyes and stroked my hair.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t guess why my head looked complicated.

I thought about it for a while, but I was still worried about Ner, no matter what I heard.

This was the capital. Not stockin’.

So she shook her head and said to Arwin.

“I’ll be back.”

Then he moved on.

Ner was resting today at a place he could easily find.

But it wasn’t a place where everyone could find her.

As spending time alone is a special experience, we stayed in a place that was deserted but not difficult to find.

She also spent a long time looking for a space like this.

But it didn’t bother me when I thought I would be sitting and spending time with Berg.

She sat like that and recalled the information she had heard earlier.

Her tail was wagging from side to side in the coming future with the abolition of polygamy.

It seemed like it was shaking to the beat of my heart.

I felt like everything would be perfect if Bergman was by my side right now.

“…Ha.”

She looked up at the moon.

Recently, the nights have been getting a little chilly.

Considering that she met Berg in the spring, a lot of time has passed.

The once scorching heat is now dying.

It seemed that autumn was approaching.

When will polygamy be abolished?

It would be a change that would come after the war.

It was natural that many things would be rearranged after the war ended.

She just hoped that time would come quickly.

I wanted to come quickly and draw the future together with Berg.

-Jeobeok…Jeobeok…

As I stayed like that, I heard familiar footsteps.

Her pricked ears look in that direction.

Ner gave a small smile at the light relief and warmth she felt in her chest.

-Tuk.

Something wrapped around her bare shoulders.

I looked and saw that her light clothes were covering her body.

Berg sat silently next to her.

“Thanks, Berg.”

I was already feeling chilly, so how did Berg know how to prepare for something like this?

Ner smiled as he looked at his profile.

No matter where she is, she has someone who finds her, and she gave Nere her heartfelt emotions as a gift.

The fact that she has someone who will think of her and take care of her anywhere has healed her pain of not being loved in the past.

“…”

Berg gave her a brief smile, and then she looked up at the moon in silence.

It was an expression that seemed to be thinking a lot.

Perhaps the story he heard from the princess made him suffer.

Ner opened his mouth.

Then, after tying the ring on his hand for a moment, Ner slowly began to lean toward Berg instead of speaking.

-Sigh.

Then, Berg turned to look at her.

“…Ner.”

Ner stiffened under his gaze and looked at Berg again.

“…”

“…”

Even in that silent situation, we didn’t feel awkward.

Instead, strange and tickling sensations arose.

Berg looked at her like that and blinked her eyes as if continuing her deep worries.

His eyes slowly looked at Ner’s face.

Ears. Forehead. Nose. Eye. Even the lips.

Ner just swallowed his saliva at the atmosphere he was experiencing for the first time.

He didn’t know how to react.

The sound of my heartbeat continued to grow louder.

Ner’s eyes are fixed on Berg’s lips.

I couldn’t look away.

She thinks.

….What does it feel like when your lips collide?

I was certain that it would feel good.

Still unable to muster up her courage, she rolled her eyes and met Berg’s gaze.

-Talk.

Berg’s hand gently touches her cheek.

Ner did not avoid looking at him.

It was the only courage she could muster.

“….”

Then, Berg shook his head.

The atmosphere relaxes.

“…No. Let’s go now.”

“…”

“I’m going to catch a cold.”

And then he stood up.

Looking at Berg walking lightly, Ner swallowed his saliva again.

…I stand up, pondering the regret that is difficult to describe.

“Go together, Berg.”

She says as she follows Berg.

****

-Boom!

Silfrien opened the door as if it were going to explode and entered the hall where the warriors were resting.

It was a hall in the village where I temporarily lived.

Various residents who were resting in the hall were also surprised by Silprien’s appearance.

“I found the car!”

She shouts.

A variety of emotions were mixed on Silfrien’s face.

The bird sitting on her shoulder seemed to be carrying new information.

Shien saw Silfrien’s face like that.

Recently, the warrior Felix was talking about the last war.

I heard that opinions were sent to numerous families for him, and that he even received permission from the king.

In any case, this was possible because endless trust was given to the warriors at the forefront of the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Silfrien entered her room in surprise.

It seemed like such urgent information that no one paid any attention to it.

Sien’s sinking heart began to beat wildly at the sight of Silfrien like that.

She didn’t know what information she brought, but the fact that the war was coming to an end was clearly conveyed to her.

“Calm down and speak, Silfrien.”

A tremor could be sensed in the voice of the warrior Felix, but he maintained his balance on behalf of the excited Silfrien.

Centaur Akran also seemed to sense that something unusual was coming and raised his horse.

“I found Krund’s location.”

Krund was the name of the devil’s right hand man.

This was the information about the last intelligent demon they had been endlessly searching for.

However, there was no reason for Silprien to be excited just because of the information that the Demon King’s right arm had been found.

Felix, Akran, and Sien all waited for Silfrien’s story to continue.

“…Lintley told me that he saw it around Batra.”

Lintlay was the name of the hawk that landed on Silfrien’s shoulder.

Shien blinked her eyes at those words.

Batra.

It was her and her Berg’s hometown.

It was a city where the happiest and most painful memories of life coexisted.

“…Batra.”

But it wasn’t that bad news right now.

If you swallow the discomfort, it was actually good news.

Krund, his right-hand man, was located at a considerable distance from the Demon King.

I already knew the location of the Demon King.

While the war continued, the location of the Demon King was never missed.

If you look at the immediate distance, there was a distance gap of more than 10 days between Krund and the Demon King.

It meant that there was no better situation than this to wage an all-out war against the Demon King.

At a time when I was wondering how to deal with Krund and the Demon King at the same time, Krund became a topic out of the question.

“…”

“…”

Felix just started rolling his eyes, as if he had just heard the information and started doing his calculations.

Akran and Silprien quietly looked at Felix.

Shien closed her eyes.

Every time she closed her eyes, Berg’s face shimmered.

Even though I was abandoned, I was still desperately thinking about returning to him.

‘…Bell.’

She whispers within herself.

“……Let’s go.”

Then, Felix whispered.

Shien slowly opened her eyes.

The hall could not have been quieter than this.

In the middle, Felix continued.

“…I couldn’t ask for a better moment. So let’s go. Secretly gather as many troops as you can. Send a letter to His Majesty the King as well. Let’s fight the final battle within 15 days. “The faster it is, the more effective it will be.”

Even though they thought it was urgent, no one protested.

Even Akran, who had been chosen by the God of War, was nodding his head as if he felt it was a gamble worth taking.

No one will be able to understand how long Sien waited for this moment.

Looking in front of her, she saw three colleagues looking at her.

“…Finish it, saintess.”

They said.

The saint knew very well for whom or because of whom this decision had been made.

Still, she couldn’t say anything about going back.

She herself felt that she was gradually withering away.

Thinking back to her memories with Berg, Shien held on to her last rope and nodded her head helplessly.

“……Yes. “Finish it.”

She was finally able to muster up the strength to struggle for the last time.

“…Because I want to go home now…”

And her home was always next to one person.
