(EP.312) Lee Nam’s Later Story #2
312 – Beyond the Wall #2
ㅡ Gugugu.
Today, pigeons outside the window are chirping loudly. Elgar, who was just about to fall asleep in the morning, got up from the bed and opened the window.
“What are you, making noise in my room window?”
food duck.
Then a dove came in through the window and into the cage.
‘carrier pigeon?’
A scroll was tied to the ankle of the dove, which sat quietly on a perch in the cage. I grabbed a dove, opened the scroll and read it, and there was a very pleasant story written in it.
“This is not the time to be like this.”
Elgar got dressed and went to the royal palace as soon as the morning sun rose brightly. I didn’t really like it because it was a place where only noisy and boring stories came and went.
There is a reason why you should enter the palace today.
bum bum, bum bum.
The place where the unobstructed steps are headed is the queen’s bed. There were some maids guarding the entrance. They looked at Elgar and knocked on the door to the queen’s bedroom.
– I, the Queen. The field commander of the 3rd Army, Erganes von Liones, made a statement-.
“done. Get out of the way.”
Passing by the picky maids, Elgar opened the doorknob and entered the room. The door is not locked, so there is no need to twist it.
When I went inside, I saw a room with cobwebs all over the place. It’s more like a dungeon than a fancy and beautiful bed.
“Why are there so many spider webs?”
swish.
After roughly cleaning the dust and cobwebs by hand, Elgar headed to bed. There, his cousin, who is sleeping with a frown, is curled up.
Are you having nightmares?

Gently squeeze the guy’s pointed nose.
flinch.
More trembling eyebrows.
“Hey, Ira. How long will you sleep? did morning come? I have something to say.”
“… … .”
There is no sign of getting up even though he is squeezing his nose. How long are you going to hold your breath like this? I do not know. But Elgar didn’t want to waste time with his ruthless cousin.
“Jeonseogu flew in from Deadbell Citadel. It’s in charge of a guy called Baldor, who once made a name for himself in Borgia’s army.”
“… … .”

No response at all
Will I still be able to sleep after hearing these words?
“Tae-oh, it looks like he’s staying at Deadbell Citadel.”
“… … .”
slurp.
Black eyes like obsidian open thinly. Although it was her cousin and the same woman, Elgar’s heart was pounding without realizing it.
‘… This guy is really pretty.’
Then all of a sudden I get angry.
‘Your breasts are smaller than mine.’
When you think about it like that, you feel a subdued feeling. Of course, that didn’t matter right now.

Charr.
Elgar opened the scroll and showed her cousin or Queen Aira the writings.
Aira, who was slowly rolling her eyes and reading the letters, said, “Ugh… .” he said, sounding like a sick puppy.
I didn’t say anything, but I must have been relieved. Because this guy likes the half-elf just like a child likes a doll. Elgar was also very relieved to receive the letter, so it made sense.
“Well, he’s not going to die just because he dies. There are no injuries and he seems to be in good health. Anyway, so you too, don’t be naive and get up.”
“Ugh… .”
What kind of reaction is this?
In an instant, Elgar’s desire to slap a honey chestnut on her cousin’s head arose. It wasn’t because Elgar was cultivating her own patience these days.
meditation.
patience.
to feel nature.
Because I said that it was an important point in dealing with the Hallowed Halberd-Crusher, which has been forged since ancient times. I’m catching up a bit these days. Now come and get angry.
“Anyway. It would have taken a day or two for Jeonseo-gu to fly here. I’d say it arrived three days ago. Then we can cancel the plan to advance to the Dolnar Citadel.”
This was its own gist.
rushing outside the fortress wall.
It’s like riding a horse and crashing into a windmill at full speed.
But Ira laughed.
“Fufu, Elgar.”
“Don’t keep smiling like that and calling my name.”
“Erganes.”
“It’s a bit like that name. It sounds like you’re being too sassy.”
Then, Ira sighed deeply, like a parent giving up on a child who had no choice but to give up.
“Elgar, you are a very picky cousin. I’m about the same size as Aira, so I’m going to adapt to your whims.”
—Who’s going to say it. I’d be furious for a moment. But be patient.
The queen slowly got up and put her feet in the silk slippers. Dust and cobwebs all around her. He frowned slightly, then snapped his fingers.
“You’re too messy.”
ㅡHyo… !
Then, spiders appeared from somewhere and started cleaning the webs and dust. Magic? No, Elgar corrected her thoughts.
This is magic rather than magic.
a very long time ago.
It’s like the gift the woman who started the Tarantera family got after making a deal with the wise spider – the fresh Argala.
From time immemorial, it has been said that women of the Tarantera family can use spiders or perform various kinds of magic by listening to their words.
That’s why she was called a witch.
As the blood faded, it was only dismissed as a story from a very long time ago. For the last remaining Aira, why did the blood thicken the most?
‘I don’t know. It’s not my part.’
What was important was the story of Dolnar Fortress, as Aira said.
A military site located beyond the wall.
Elgar felt dizzy when his cousin said he was going to advance the soldiers there. In a situation where the country is barely stabilizing, advance out of the map?
Then Aira, dressed in a silk robe, sipped a hot teacup she had brought from somewhere.
“Elgar, you’re not like you these days. You, who like to be active on the battlefield more than anyone, oppose the advance.”
“What do you think, you think I’m a war fanatic and a battle maniac?”
“out of it?”
“It’s not wrong.”
If it was the old Elgar.
Elgar, who lived like a burning candle, longing for only meaningless and stimulating things, would have welcomed this march with both hands up. But Elgar had something to protect.
So, I didn’t want to confuse this country where new things will be born and raised in the future.
In that sense, Elgar sees Ira as a child who deliberately throws stones into a still lake. He was like an immature child who deliberately brought a branch towards the hive.
Aira’s attitude was firm.
“Jin-gun is not soft. Elgar, as you may have heard, the offensive beyond the wall has calmed down. The main force of the Shadow Army has retreated to the northern Gargatha Citadel.”
“As the scouts say, yes.”
“Then, isn’t this the time for us to fight?”
Ira seemed to have some ideas.
However, Elgar was a bit uneasy.
I’ve heard of the Shadow Army’s main forces retreating further north.
But.
Elgar felt it was a pull back of the bow rather than a retreat. Or it felt as if the fist was pushed back as hard as it could be.
Those things will soon be launched in the future. Like a crouched frog jumps incredibly high. Ira only speaks lightly.
“Elgar, I know what you are worried about. But it’s a decision I’ve made after much deliberation. I can’t live hiding behind the wall forever, turning away like a coward.
“huh… .”
“And don’t worry, I won’t tell you to join the war. My cousin, you have to take good care of your body for the time being. right?”
Startle.
Elgar was startled by the words of her cousin Aira, who came in unintentionally. Because his cousin’s words sometimes pierced through Elgar’s defenses and stabbed them sharply.
‘Do you know if I have a child in my womb?’
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, it wouldn’t be possible.
As Elgar is holding back a cold sweat inside, Aira adds a few words.
“If you want to receive the crusher, the holy relic of Lioness, it is important to take care of your body. If we can endure this period well, it will definitely be a great force for Angmar.”
“Well, yes.”
Also, talking with this guy is not good for prenatal education.
With that feeling, Elgar tried to leave the room. Then, before I got to the door, I suddenly thought of something, so I opened my mouth.
“So, are you going to do the untitled thing until the end? You really don’t even want to get married. Even if there is a winner, will he be able to beat you? You said that you were ranked in the 8th place this time.”
It was half cynical.
Elgar had recently witnessed Aira using telekinetic power to crush coal into diamonds. Is there anyone who can defeat Ira like that?
Ira just blinked her black eyes.
“Well. How about?”
I just asked
When you try to turn your back on that feeling.
sparkle.
Elgar could sense with her beastly instinct that Aira’s eyes gleamed like reflected glass. That those eyes were reading something out of the air.

“Ah-! comrade! here it is! Ah-! Ying-ying is here too!”
When we arrived at the city of Sandora, Marmar was waving his hand from the entrance of the city gate. Soon, Yingyi sitting on my head flew towards Marmar.
ㅡ Ying yaing.
this kid… , I fed them for a few days and washed them by putting them in water. You change immediately when you see Marmar.
Of course, if I was Ying-ying, I would.
“Ah-! Our honorable comrade Taeonoi is back! Everyone is dancing the imp’s dance with the intention of welcome-!”
“It’s dancing-!”
“Garrr, Ghar-!”
Soon several imps circled around me.
It sounds like a welcome, but somehow I feel like I’m playing around and teasing the bullied kid on the playground.
So I turned my head away from the bustling imps. Then, over the large wall, someone rushed towards me.
“King Tae-oh, are there any injuries?”
She was Miss Mirna with eyes wet with rain. To hold you in my arms while everyone is watching. Normally, I would have been disgusted by “You’re unscrupulous!”
So I got a little shy.
“I am okay. More than that, Miss Mirna. Everyone is watching.”
“Ugh.”
Then, only then did Mirna take a peek at the people around her and distance herself from me. Seeing this, Stella snorted and smiled satisfactorily.
“You are young. Oh, more than that, Tae-oh. What do you do when you mess up your outfit like that? Really, I have a lot to take care of.”
Soon, Stella stretched out her hand to tidy up my clothes or to wipe the dust off her forehead with her hands.
The problem was that Mirna was watching it with her slender eyes from the side.
“Aren’t you two too close together?”
“Oh, is that so? I did it as a habit.”
Stella slipping away. But Mirna’s eyes opened sharper like an axe.
Stella and I have been going through various things for the past few days, so I’m sure the votes have reduced the sense of distance.
Lately, Stella has been trying to take care of me like a loving older sister or mother.
“King Tae-oh, you must be busy and tired, but I really want to hear about what happened outside.”
