Incompatible Interspecies Wives chapter 156

156 – Traitors (1)

Looking at my frozen wives, I looked away and sighed.

“…Ha.”

Even though I have made up my mind, it is difficult to say it.

What happened with Brother Adam may also have had an impact.

I received a lot of help from my wives when I separated from my brother.

To be honest, I can’t even imagine how difficult it would have been without them.

As in the past, he may have spent his days intoxicated with alcohol.

It was a story about having to let go of the women who had given me so much strength.

I have to kill my greed and act only for them.

Even though I know it’s the right thing to do… It’s difficult.

I remained frozen for a long time even after opening my mouth.

All the stories I had in mind did not leave my mouth.

“…”

I closed my mouth again.

The wives also remained silent.

I looked at Ner and Arwin again.

Who should I let go?

Even this has not been chosen yet.

In the end, I spoke with a sigh.

“…This is what happened in the end.”

I opened the gun gate with difficulty.

“I promised to treat you with respect for the rest of my life. But even if we break up like this… I will keep my promise to protect you. Please contact me if you have any problems. I….”

Even as I speak, I wonder if this is not the case.

Is this a parting word? Even when I listen to it, it fills me with regret.

The order also seems to be mixed up for some reason.

“…”

It was a difficult conversation.

I don’t know what to say first or how to say it.

What will happen to the person who remains by my side?

It may feel like you are losing your freedom right before your eyes.

Will I be able to capture that heart again?

Ner had her tail hanging down and her mouth was slowly opening.

Arwin’s eyes are still fixed on the letter.

I slowly began to reveal my inner thoughts.

“…………I…”

“…”

“…”

“…I don’t know who to let go.”

I continued before the wives opened their mouths and made a mess.

“Ner. Should I let you go?”

Ner’s eyes trembled.

“……………………….What…………?”

Ner asks back in an inaudible voice. For a moment, she puts her fingers together and wiggles them.

“For you, this marriage is a lifetime, but for Arwin, it will only be a moment. “If you, who only loves one other person, were to say that you don’t like me in the end…there would be no such torture.”

I said while looking at Arwin.

“….Or Arwin. Should I let you go?”

“………………….Ber….”

“But even if you fall in love with me… I told you that life after that would be a problem. I said it was a thousand years. “It was you who longed for freedom.”

I recall the memories I shared with them.

I place my elbows on my knees and sigh.

I touched the rings on the ring fingers of both hands.

In the end, I shook my head and said,

“…………I can’t choose.”

They continued without looking.

“…To be honest, I don’t want to let you both go. So, this is a difficult request… But please let the two of you talk. Decide who will leave me. If there is no conclusion, I will have no choice but to choose. “You never know if their story will work out well, right?”

It is a strange decision to make on my own in the first place.

Their thoughts also had to be included.

At my words, Ner and Arwin opened their mouths as if to say something, but I raised my hand to stop them.

I’m not done talking right now.

I tell them that they look more confused than I expected.

“…Instead, please remember one thing. “If anyone decides to stay by my side.”

I straighten my upper body again. Put aside your pride and reveal your heart.

“If you…want to dream a future with me…”

And he looked straight into the eyes of Arwin and Ner and made a promise.

“…Then I will love you for the rest of my life.”

A word called love that has never been uttered.

Ner and Arwin pause at those words.

“I will cherish and cherish you for the rest of my life. I’ll do what I can, and I’ll try to do what I can’t… I hope you stay by my side. “At least one person.”

What would happen if both of them chose to stay by my side?

…Actually, it’s a dream-like story. Just a few dozen days ago, they were the ones who called for the abolition of polygamy.

You pushed me away and rejected me.

We each let me know about each other’s inner thoughts.

So there was nothing I could do about it, even if it became a little lame.

Especially now, it was difficult because of Adam’s work.

I needed someone who could support me more desperately than ever.

I got up from my seat.

“….Think carefully before answering. I’ll take a look at the wounded and come back. And I’ll be leaving for the capital soon. “I think it would be good if a decision could be made before then.”

Then she excused herself and went out to give her wives time.

I didn’t want to watch you argue about wanting to leave my side.

****

Arwin was unable to say anything even after Berg left.

She remained frozen in her office, just like Ner.

This is the first time I’ve heard from Berg…Cold words.

‘I need a divorce.’

Even if Ner hadn’t said that she wanted to remain by Berg’s side, she wouldn’t have said it to herself.

But she said she wanted to remain by Berg’s side, and she meant only one thing.

It was said that someone might end up divorcing Berg.

Farewell to Berg.

Arwin’s heart momentarily ached at that possibility.

Her pain finds her without her understanding.

Arwin blinked her eyes, and she carefully asked Ner the question she had wanted to ask earlier.

“………….Ner. “What did you mean earlier?”

“…”

“…Do you want to stay by Berg’s side? “Did I misunderstand?”

Arwin turned her frozen head and looked at Ner.

Ner also seemed very surprised.

Trembling eyes. Rough breathing.

…Everything is similar to yourself.

I realize that even the emotions I feel are similar.

… At the same time, Arwin noticed that Ner was embarrassed for the same reason.

Ner asked back.

“…What do you mean, Arwin? Why do you want to stay by Berg’s side…?”

“…”

“…You said…You can’t love a short-lived species. You said so, that she wants to be free. “Berg told me over and over again that it was the last trial before freedom.”

Arwin heard Ner’s voice referencing her past.

“Are you…?”

“…”

“…….You said that you have a fateful partner and that you cannot love Berg. You hated humans, commoners, and mercenaries. “You later said it was just friendship…you didn’t even like Berg kissing your cheek…you told me that.”

They were frozen, just looking into each other’s eyes.

Arwin wondered if all of this was a joke on Ner’s part.

A happy future with Berg was right in front of her, but an obstacle suddenly appeared.

And that obstacle was big enough to take away everything Arwin wanted.

I couldn’t understand this mentally.

I thought my future with Berg would be solid.

I decided that the only thing that mattered was my own choice.

But now that he hopes to be with Berg, does this mean he may not be able to be with him?

Polygamy has been abolished, so Berg is forced to leave only one wife.

The thing next to him… Could it be that it is not him, but Ner?

She had suffered from the world tree all her life.

Everyone looked at her with her strange eyes… And there was no one to save her.

In the meantime, her Berg appeared and got angry and fought for her.

It was Berg who risked her life for the one day of pain she had to endure.

From then on, whenever she had a nightmare, it was Berg who encouraged her and always stayed by her side.

She was the one who was saved by his strength.

He was becoming so proud to be her husband.

When he smiled, we were happy together, and when he had a hard time, we had a hard time together.

Does this mean that I might break up with him?

The time we have together is not 60 years… But 1 year. Or is it that there may only be a few dozen days left?

From noble mtl dot com

Is this happiness coming to an end?

“……Ner.”

That was a ridiculous story.

This happiness was the first joy Arwin had experienced in 170 years of life.

After a long period of pain, it was joy that was finally found.

It was a treasure she didn’t know she wanted to find as she traveled through her world.

Arwin shook her head slowly and whispered.

“……..I can’t divorce.”

He muttered as if to persuade Ner.

Continue to an upcoming situation that you cannot understand.

“…I can’t… “Life without Berg…what is that…”

Ner also let out a trembling breath. She also seemed to be agitated.

It’s not that she has a mild crush on Berg and can’t leave his side, but rather that she really can’t leave Berg’s side.

“…Stop playing around. Chu….That’s enough.”

Ner clenched her small fists and raised her voice.

“Tell me, like you always did… That you want to leave Berg’s side. I am sincere, without any lies. “I was really… really going to live with Berg.”

“Ner you-“

“-Stop it!!”

Ner suddenly screamed.

Tears began to well up in her eyes that had lost their light.

Ner looked at Arwin with her empty eyes and said.

“I love Berg.”

Arwin froze at those words.

She also knew how heavy the ‘love’ spoken of by Ner’s race was.

A race of people who love only one person throughout their lives.

Ner was saying that she loved Berg.

“I…I don’t know why I’m telling this to Arwin first and not to Berg…I love Berg. I can’t leave. I am…”

Ner grabbed Arwin, her hands shaking.

She said with a forced smile.

“…Arwin, you kept saying that.”

“…”

“You say you can’t love a short-lived species… Well, I think that’s right too… You should love someone who will live a long life like Arwin… Well, that’s how… No, that’s right. ..All…Find someone else…”

Arwin insisted, shaking off Ner’s hand.

In this fearful situation, she struggled to think continuously.

“…You can be happy even if you are not a Berg… You know.”

“…..Yes?”

“…Your destined partner is waiting somewhere. Maybelle said that if you miss it…You’ll be unhappy. “I’m afraid of those words that make me unhappy… that I can’t love someone else…”

Ner asked back with a helpless smile.

“…I’ve already fallen in love, what should I do…?”

“…”

“Even if the future with Berg is unhappy… I can’t be anything other than Berg from now on…”

As the story continued to revolve in a circle, Arwin gradually became more and more frustrated.

It feels like I’m sinking continuously into the water.

Who would have thought that Ner would become so hateful in an instant?

She finally tried to tell the story she had been hiding.

Information about the Red Flame Dan… Written in the diary. This can also be seen as a weakness.

I tried to ask what on earth was that.

This is information that cannot be used alone.

There was clearly someone behind them.

A family or another mercenary group.

She was Ner who was thinking about betrayal.

“You……”

Then, Arwin shut her mouth.

…If you think about it.

If you think about it, she might be holding onto Ner’s weakness.

What will happen to Ner if Berg finds out this information?

Who will remain by his side?

…Even after seeing that… Will Berg be able to cherish Ner?

This woman is so different.

She pretends to be innocent and cute, but she is a woman who thinks of betrayal.

In particular, as Berg’s affection for the Red Flames is so great, he will not be able to look at Ner the same way as before.

No matter how much he wags his tail, Berg will treat Ner coldly.

It was not difficult to imagine that Berg, who was so kind, would also hate Ner intensely.

The fight we are having now will be meaningless.

Assuming that what Ner has shown now is the truth… Ner will be in pain.

It must be difficult to lose the person you will love for the rest of your life.

…And Arwin will also feel compassion for that fact.

…There was no other way.

At this rate, she was about to break up with Berg.

That crazy and scary future could have become reality.

I was in no position to risk anything.

Wasn’t it my fault in the first place?

Arwin then remembered the existence of Mel’s tears for the first time in a long time.

…But who can know the identity of the liquid?

Who knew that it becomes poisonous when mixed with bardi alcohol?

It is an extreme poison that only a few elves know about.

It was hidden deep in the luggage box to begin with.

Right now, Nerman was the center of the story.

She did tell her bird to keep an eye on her.

She has yet to hear anything unusual about the bird.

The diary would still be the same.

She said that it was she who was holding Ner’s breath tightly.

“…Ha.”

So Arwin naturally sighed.

“That’s enough.”

“…”

“…I don’t want to repeat the same story. If this is going to be the case, let’s give Berg a choice.”

Perhaps this was an opportunity no different from before.

A chance to have Berg’s love all to yourself.

Berg may have a hard time with Ner’s betrayal.

But in the meantime… All we need to do is protect Berg more reliably.

Ner, who had remained silent, also nodded.

“…I like it.”

A strange sense of dignity can also be seen in that appearance.

Berg even showed arrogance in saying that he would choose him.

Arwin snorted inwardly at the sight of Ner like that.

I couldn’t give Berg to Ner.
