There Was a Porter Who Would One Day Be Called a Prophet chapter 108

108 – Don’t do anything you can’t do

Regilus has been calculating since he was a child.

He noticed how to act to receive praise from others and how to like himself, so he naturally grew up receiving the expectations of the elves.

Maybe that’s why?

He always felt empty when he did whatever he wanted.

Then one day.

He heard that a dwarf came and left the elf in his care.

The elf seemed to adapt well to the village, but soon he was ostracized from his surroundings. The reason was that he used a dwarven accent.

He went to the elf and gave him advice. He told me not to use a dwarven tone. Then they will like you too.

But the elf did not listen to his advice. He said he didn’t want to throw away the way of speaking he learned from his father who raised him because of the eyes of others.

He didn’t understand an elf like that.

However, the elf smiled and said thank you for caring about him.

The elf called herself Raina.

From that day on, Raina occupied a corner of his life. He tried to get her attention.

But the talent she had was outstanding and it wasn’t long before she began to change her perception of herself through her talent.

To the extent that even those who pointed fingers at her as a child of a dwarf saw her talent again.

Seeing her quickly rise to her level, he felt her uneasiness fill. If I surpass myself like this, I’m afraid I won’t even look at it.

The reason he thought so was natural, if natural. Because he always pursued profit and lived such a life.

Her ways of getting her into her hands were varied. With connections, power, threats, etc.

But he wanted to win her pure heart, not through pressure. That alone, he thought, would completely conquer her.

So he mobilized her people who followed her own words and drove her away and appeared in front of her at the moment of her crisis and helped her repeatedly.

If you do that, someday you will look after yourself. He calculated that

“The moon is so bright.”

These were the words Regillus uttered while preparing to leave, looking at the moon rising outside the window.

Seeing Raina come back after a long time, her heart was excited. Somehow, it looked more beautiful than before.

A human being hangs around her, but that didn’t matter. According to the calculation, Reina will come to her.

That person is no match for himself. Not only the race, but also power and location.

It was a perfect calculation.

If there’s one thing that bothers me, it’s the smile Reina gave to humans.

Having remembered that, Regillus shook his head.

“At that time, it must have been because it was in front of my colleagues.”

Since the party was mostly made up of humans, they must have had no choice but to reject my offer.

Poor Reina. It’s a situation where people look at you.

“I’ve been looking at you for a long time, but it seems today is the last time.”

He checked his reflection in the mirror one last time.

“Today I will comfort you.”

As he muttered, he took the prepared bouquet and left the house.

A crevice in the rocks around the waterfall. Among them, the blue and white haze water flower blooms only in strong sunlight.

She was a flower that always visited the waterfall and poured out her feelings when Reina had a hard time enduring her bullying.

“What kind of expression would you make if you saw this? I’m already looking forward to it.”

The already light steps became even lighter.

By the time she is almost at her house where she lives. I saw her leaving her house in the distance.

“Where are you going at this hour?”

‘To think that strict Raina would leave the house dressed so lightly….’

Sensing her doubts, he killed her footsteps and secretly followed her.

That’s when Reina arrived at the outskirts of town. He couldn’t contain her shock.

“I didn’t expect you to be here already.”

“Yes, by chance.”

Because she had a man waiting for her.

A black-haired human who was an eyesore.

The human she thought would never be able to match her was waiting for her.

‘Why? Why is that human over there?’

After a brief conversation, Raina sat next to the human. Even with her body tight.

I suddenly looked back at myself.

Hiding behind a tree and spying on them.

‘Hiding? I? Only to humans?’

– Eudeuk.

Enraged by the fact, he approached where they were.

“Regilus? How could you…”

“I need some explanation.”

***

What is this guy? Where did you come from?

A situation where an uninvited guest broke into a historical moment when I thought I might have received a confession for the first time in my life.

Reina also had a bad expression, probably because she didn’t look pretty.

“Regilus. Could it be that you’re following me?”

Do you even stalk now? An elf is so shady.

However, in front of my eyes, the stalker started to get angry instead of thinking about his fault.

“Raina. What is the situation I am looking at?”

“There’s no reason for me to tell you that, is there?”

A stalker is also a stalker, but it was the first time I saw Reina so sharp, so I was a little scared and just watched her with bated breath.

Realizing that his words didn’t work, the stalker pointed his arrow at Amona.

“Get out of the way, human! This is not a place for the likes of you!”

What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about yourself?

As I suddenly cursed, Rayna meticulously buttoned up her robe one by one, and she whispered to me.

“Wait here for a moment.”

“No, but I have pride too. I heard that, how can I…”

“Wait.”

Reina can make such a cold expression.

I was so scared that I decided to accept her opinion.

“Please come and talk slowly.”

Reina brought Regillus to a place far away from the porters.

“What’s the situation now? Why are you, an elf, with a human like that…”

“What does that have to do with you?”

“It doesn’t matter!”

Regillus couldn’t stand it and let out a noise.

“To think that you, who can be said to be the representative of other races, stick together with humans! What if other elves found out…!”

“I can’t listen anymore.”

“…What?”

“Tell me honestly. Isn’t there a reason you’re like this?”

“Yura Lee. Yes, of course not.”

Swoop.

He said, getting down on one knee and holding out the bouquet he had brought.

“It’s been a long time since. I’ve had you in my heart.”

“What…?”

When I asked as if I was dumbfounded by the sudden confession, Regillus answered.

“From the moment you smiled at me when I was young, I’ve never forgotten you for a moment.”

“…”

-Trumbling.

Reina gets closer to the figure of Regillus.

“Haze water flower. It’s my favorite flower.”

She quietly accepted the flower in his hand.

“Reina…!”

She said she was right. As expected, Regillus thought that humans were no match for him.

The moment he let out a victory roar inwardly. Rayna asked.

“Do you know why I like this flower?”

“That’s because you confided everything to the flower when you had a hard time since you were little.”

“You know the details. I don’t remember taking anyone.”

“That, that’s…”

While he is embarrassed because he made a mistake in his excitement. Rayna didn’t care and continued.

“The haze water flower is a flower that only blooms where the sunlight is strong despite being hit by a waterfall. It is a flower that symbolizes a strong life.”

She couldn’t even smell the scent of the flowers, she just looked at her bouquet with sad eyes.

“Like this flower that blooms while enduring the strong stream of water and basking in the sunlight, I used to go to see it whenever I was having a hard time, thinking that one day I would be able to bloom petals…”

Her next words contained a faint anger.

“To pick a flower that barely bloomed like this… What the hell did you want to say to me? Are you saying you want to pick me like this flower?”

“That’s not it Reina! I just thought you liked that flower…”

“That’s the difference between you and him.”

“What…?”

“He doesn’t offend me by judging himself like you do.”

Regilus, guessing that the situation was getting weird, hurriedly opened his mouth to make up for it.

“I admit I was clumsy! But my feelings for you are sincere!”

“Seriously. What do you like about me so much? Body? Appearance? Let me tell you.”

“I have the confidence to love everything about you, Raina!”

“Haa…”

Unable to keep his sanity at the sight of him replying to his own confession with a sigh, he began to cut down his porter.

“Reina! If you think he has such lofty thoughts, you’re mistaken! He’s human! He approached you just to satisfy his filthy desires…!”

– Wedge!

Before he could even finish his words, the piercing sound ripped through the air.

He soon realized that his cheeks were burning.

Jureuk.

A trickle of blood ran down his cheek.

“Be careful with your mouth. If you talk about it, I might kill you.”

“Reina…”

Fluff.

When the feelings he had waited for hundreds of years became frustrated and came back, his knees broke.

“As you say, he might not take me very seriously.”

“But why!”

Leaving behind Regulus, who was clinging to the end, Reina began to think of him.

A person who is a little silly and optimistic, but also looks like a man, who occasionally peeks at his breasts.

However, there was much to learn from his gaze on the world.

The way he treated me without hesitation when I tried to kill him was like that too. Because he wanted to show his childhood self that he grew up properly regardless of his parents’ absence.

Above all, he had no interest in being the representative of the elves or the shrine of the warrior party. When I talk to him, if I look into his eyes, there is just ‘Raina’ there.

“If I could win the heart of a man like that, I think he would be really happy.”

Thinking of him, Reina couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth rising.

And Regillus saw her like that.

Her face is brighter than the smile she gave herself when she was little.

“That’s why I can’t accept that heart.”

– Jerking around.

Reina passed him and moved her steps towards the porter who was waiting for her.

What was reflected in the eyes of Regillus, who was left alone, was a bouquet of flowers.

A bouquet that looks like it’s mocking itself.

– Puck puck!

“How come…! What am I worse than that human!”

Regillus expresses his anger by trampling on the bouquet.

“Yes… Come to think of it, it was like that from the first meeting. Why didn’t I know that?”

When the shape of the flower trampled by his feet became unrecognizable, he muttered in an angry voice.

“It was a mistake to include you in the calculation in the first place. You don’t act according to the calculation.”

Soon he cracked a twisted laugh.

“I guess I need to make some compromises too.”
