Incompatible Interspecies Wives

27 – Building Honor (4)

When the last boss fell, cheers erupted from everywhere.

The members lay on the floor, gasping for breath, and enjoyed the relief of surviving.

The subjugation ended in two days. It didn’t take long because all the bosses were worth dealing with than I thought.

Rest was properly mixed, the atmosphere and morale did not drop, and there were few casualties.

No one died, especially in the boss group. Sean only had bruises on his arms.

With the cheers pouring down, I also enjoy the current mood. There was definitely a feeling of joy after killing the boss like this. Sometimes I have to kill it, but there are times when I want to stay alive.

– Took.

Someone came up behind me and touched my shoulder.

It was Gidin.

The thing that surprised him the most in the past two days was that, except for the first dreigue, he followed my orders after that.

Even though it was obviously reckless and risky, he did his job to the end.

The rough atmosphere with him has gone into a lull.

There is no choice but to go through death together.

I didn’t want to fight him any more.

It was enough just to lose momentum.

“…”

Gidin held out his hand to me without a word. He asks for a human handshake.

“…”

But…I didn’t reach out.

Reconciliation and friendship are different.

The reconciliation has already been done. I didn’t want to get closer to him beyond that.

The fact that he has been bullying Ner for a long time does not change.

Rather than being angry…I don’t even know Nere’s feelings, but I can’t make friends with him first.

Over strangers, I preferred my wife.

So I shook my head.

“… Take care of her sister first.”

I said.

Gidin quietly lowered his hand at those words.

Adam is running from afar.

A big smile hung on his lips.

I also laughed at Adam like that.

It was time to return.

****

News of the subjugation quickly hit Blackwood.

“Subjugation is complete! The mercenaries are said to be returning!”

Gibson and Nere’s older sisters, attendants and maids, and servants all burst into applause and a sigh of relief.

After Ner heard the news, he was freed from the pressure that had been suppressing his chest.

His tail wags wildly.

…Still, more important news remained.

“What happened to Gidin!”

Gibson exclaimed. The news about the proudest eldest son was obviously important.

“You are all right…! All the rest of the youngsters too!”

“Ah…! That’s good…!”

The Werewolves hugged each other and rejoiced as if they had heard all the important news.

It was good news, but Ner still had news to be curious about.

It’s absolutely not because I like him. Because there was someone left to give my heart to.

But I couldn’t help but worry.

The man who fought for himself was not leaving his head.

When I heard that he had been eating alone, I could still see him leading me to the campsite and eating with me.

“Yo…! The mercenary corps…?”

It was more convenient to ask about the mercenary corps than to ask directly about Berg, as it seemed to hide his intentions.

Amidst the cheers, Ner’s voice echoes.

She hadn’t been so loud in a really long time.

Then, as if cold water had been poured into the room, everyone became quiet.

La Ann and Swann erased her radiant smile… And laughed at her slowly.

But at the same time, they looked at the soldier as if they were curious.

Gibson also asks.

“Yes. What is the situation of red yeomdan? Captain and vice-captain… No, is my son-in-law all right?”

The soldier surveyed the atmosphere and nodded his head.

“Yes…Yes! You are safe. This subjugation turned out to be a complete success…!”

Ner brought his clenched fist to his chest.

Now I am finally freed from the emotions that were really suppressing my heart.

Feels like a refreshing wind has passed through your body.

The tension was relieved along with it, and my body felt numb.

It seems that the blood has turned into worms and crawls all over the body.

…At the same time, another pressure came.

“…”

Ner couldn’t stop thinking about him.

There was really no way back now.

After the subjugation, the Red Flames would return to their homes.

I would have to leave Nerdo Blackwood’s estate and follow them.

With the emotions running through his head, Ner didn’t know how to react.

Should I be happy, or should I be sad because I had to follow Berg.

…For now, I decided to rejoice at Blackwood’s release.

****

“Berg. Have you decided?”

The way back to Blackwood Citadel.

Adam hyung asks me.

He was bandaging a new scar on his arm.

“What?”

When I ask, my brother says.

“Are you going to make a name for yourself? Are you hiding behind it again?”

“…”

A noisy atmosphere follows, and Adam drives his horse closer to me.

“Even with a ball like this? Since you always hide, everyone only thinks I subdued the boss.”

At that moment, I began to see my destination right in front of me.

I see a lot of werewolves climbing the wall and welcoming us.

The noisy atmosphere of the castle was transmitted from here.

“Make a decision quickly. We are almost there.”

Adam urged my answer.

I am sure my thoughts have changed a lot.

If I made a decision, it was clear that I would be involved in a lot of annoying things in the future.

There will be more people recognizing me, more people looking for me, and more expectations for me.

There will be more meetings to attend, and nobles to meet.

I’m sure the women’s courtship towards me will double. I’ve been rejecting it well so far, but I can’t predict what kind of problems it will cause.

…And, maybe.

Maybe even Shien will hear my name.

She may think it’s the same name, but she may hear her name as well.

Mercenary Berg. When she hears the name…What will she think-

“-You should also think about your wife.”

At that time, Adam hyung next to me interrupted my thoughts and said.

“…Ah.”

And at his words, I came to my senses.

I was thinking of Shien again.

“…”

Inwardly, laugh at yourself.

I felt sorry for myself.

She’s really over her now, but she’s still holding on to her.

Even after getting married, they are still doing this.

My wife wasn’t Sien. It wasn’t even her that she had to prioritize.

It was Ner.

I look back for a moment.

“…”

“…”

I exchanged glances with Gidin for a while.

I looked ahead again and made a decision.

****

The members of the Blackwood family have been waiting for heroes.

Gibson, Raan, Swann and Ner stand at the end of the road created by the crowd.

Cheers echo from in front of me.

It seemed that the mercenaries and Gidin’s soldiers were entering.

Raan and Swann were playing a subtle fight against Ner.

Ner was doing everything in his power not to make eye contact with them.

Maybe it was because Ner knew it.

It will be difficult for Berg to raise the ball as much as Gidin.

There was no werewolf warrior stronger than Gidin in this Blackwood territory, and no werewolf had a higher reputation than Gidin.

Swan and Raan had already expected that, and were doing everything they could to harass Ner.

From afar, the mercenaries finally showed up.

“…?”

And at the same time visible, the most advanced berg.

Clothed in bloody armor, he rode up.

Adam was behind him, and Gidin was behind him.

For some reason, the vice-captain approached me like the main character.

Petals fall in front of them. Cheers and applause don’t stop. Laughter and tears filled their path.

Swan whispered.

“…Why are those humans in the front…”

Adam then raised one hand.

The mercenaries stopped, and the crowd muted.

Soon, complete silence comes to the large plaza.

Everyone wondered why the march had stopped.

And Berg cried out alone there.

“…Ner!”

Her name echoes.

When Ner was called, her body trembled.

Everyone’s eyes are on Ner.

So many people were looking at her that the sound of her many collars brushing her hair as she turned her head was commotion.

Berg beckoned me to come here from far away.

Ner hesitated for a moment as he looked at Ra An and her swan.

But Berg seemed unwilling to move unless Ner came.

Not wanting to spoil the flow of her mood, Nere slowly climbed on her horse and made her way towards Tanneberg.

Ner walked on the road he had made for the mercenaries.

All eyes are on you.

Ner was not used to being so focused.

She was ashamed of her own shaggy tail, and her finger pointing at her for taking her mother’s life was uncomfortable.

Her legs are shaking.

The moments when I was cursed at for being a cursed tail and a cursed b*tch were like every day.

Her tail curls.

Even if I don’t hear that now, I feel like people are talking to me in my heart.

She also lowered her head.

The attention she received because of Berg, but Ner was uncomfortable with the attention.

I was clenched to this point.

The only reason I endured this was to please Berg, who freed Blackwood.

After walking a difficult path, we finally arrived in front of Berg.

The sight of Berg looking down at her bloodied and cold was terrifying.

Dense smell of blood.

Recently, I feel that I have shaken off my fear towards him a little… But as I haven’t fully known Berg yet, I can’t help but feel afraid.

It seems like you can see at least a glimpse of what kind of life he is living.

And that life looks crueler than Ner imagined, so he can’t help but feel repulsive.

Berg stopped at the front of the mercenaries and lightly jumped off his horse.

Berg slowly approaches Ner.

Dazed by the smell of his blood, Ner closed his eyes.

Then Berg whispered quietly so that only she could hear it.

“…Sorry. Excuse me for a moment.”

Unlike his appearance, he has a warm tone.

Then, just as he had violently grabbed his wrist a few days ago, Berg placed his hands on both sides of Ner’s waist without hesitation.

“Hey…!”

As he lets out his breathless cry, Ner’s body floats in the air as lightly as his feathers.

When I came to my senses, Ner was already sitting sideways on top of Berg’s horse.

“… Huh?”

Berg also gets on the horse again.

Then, I held onto the reins and lightly supported Ner’s waist so that he wouldn’t fall, with his legs leaning to one side.

And then, a cart appears from behind.

It carried the gigantic heads of four hideous monsters.

It was the head of the boss.

It was so terrifying that it was hard to believe that the mercenaries had subjugated it.

While Nere gasped, Baran, who was Berg’s aide, started shouting from the side.

“As requested, the Red Flames have finished subjugation!”

People started to mumble.

“There were sacrifices, but I defeated all four bosses!”

Berg’s horse slowly walks forward.

Ner was also on the horse, so he went ahead.

The mercenaries followed suit.

“Draig of the Northwest, Subjugator Berg!”

The voice is getting louder.

Ner looked up at Berg. I didn’t think he would have subdued the boss himself.

Especially the monster from the northwest that was troubling everyone.

“Kiken of the North, Subjugator Berg!”

“… Huh?”

Ner doubted his ears at the name being called.

The eyes of the werewolves who love honor also begin to change.

Ner, who was on top of the horse, could feel it all.

It didn’t end there.

“The Sandyum of the East, Subjugator Berg!”

Exclamation and cheers erupt, and applause begins.

Berg’s name never ceased. Meanwhile, Gidin’s name never came up.

Ner looked back and forth between Berg and Gidin, who followed silently behind him.

Gidin looked at Ner for a moment …. He averted his eyes.

It was the first experience for Ner.

“Look ahead, Ner. Straighten your back.”

While Ner concentrated on her unbelievable declaration of wish, her party, Berg, bowed her head to her and whispered to her:

It was as if subjugation had nothing to do with it.

Ner, who had no thought of resisting his words, followed his words and looked ahead.

“And again, Niles of the East, the subjugator…Berg! More than that, Hongyeomdan is…”

As soon as the declaration is over, she is overwhelmed by the thunderous shouts.

“Waaa!!”

“Live! I live!!”

“Berg! Berg! Berg!!”

The continued voice of Baran was now buried.

The werewolves were bursting with cheers and applause for the liberated Blackwood.

The atmosphere of death that had overtaken them completely disappeared.

Ner, who had been pointed at all his life, got goosebumps as he heard the thunderous applause and cheers.

It may not have been a cheer for herself, but just standing on the road made her heart beat like crazy.

My breathing is quick, and my heart is pounding.

She did not know that she would be standing where her deafening joy poured out.

Ner didn’t know what to say.

She blinked her eyes and opened her mouth … To Berg.

“…I…I can stay here-“

As she lowers her head and tries to curl her body up, Berg presses her back lightly and straightens her upper body.

Berg says.

“I’m cheering you on too.”

“…Yes?”

Ner looked up at Berg curiously, and Berg replied.

“You saved Blackwood too.”

“…….”

Ner carefully turned her head away again.

It was only then that the name was heard among the shouts of ‘Berg’.

“Ner! Ner! Ner!”

“Ner-sama!! Ner-nim!!”

“…..Ah.”

And from the moment he realized that, Ner couldn’t say anything.

Emotions that have been suppressed are fluctuating.

At the cheers directed at her, for some reason she felt like shedding tears.

People who used to point fingers were shouting at themselves.

To be honest, it must have been just being sold… But Berg seemed to keep comforting her, saying that wasn’t the case.

Petals fall over her head.

The sunlight illuminates the way ahead.

Everyone cheers.

Ner thought that perhaps for the rest of her life, she would never forget this moment.

Berg continued.

“…Does this look like a wedding march again?”

As if all these cheers were nothing, Berg smiled and spoke.

Ner is also contagious with his innocent smile.

At the same time, small amounts of tears form in your eyes.

From noble mtl dot com

She let out her wild laugh.

She asked, wiping the tears from her eyes with her fingers.

A question I’ve been curious about for days.

“…Are there any injuries?”

I can’t even remember how long it’s been since I laughed.
