My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields

#14 Crossroads (3)

The inauguration ceremony is five days away.

It was a time when Yubin’s festive atmosphere deepened and people’s faces were full of smiles, but as everywhere people lived, there were also people who were not very pleasant.

What should I say, it was Danal, the leader of the Seolyoung Knights.

“Everyone is playing well.”

“Captain, there is a shortage of workers over there, so please help.”

“Do people in this town see articles as water? Say no!”

“The madam ordered it.”

“… Hey, it’s my seller.”

Danal sighed and stood up from his seat.

I didn’t want to move at all, but if it was Tyria’s order, I had to follow it.

It is because she is the real power behind Wee Bin, who makes even Kasha a mild sheep.

How hard will the rest of your life be if you go outside?

Of course, she’s not human enough to retaliate if she doesn’t listen.

In Danal’s eyes, Tyria was a person of high level of formality among all the nobles he knew.

As long as you maintain an amicable relationship… Should I say a very good employer?

That’s why it’s good to show obedience in these small details.

‘I should finish it quickly and go to sleep.’

Huuk exhaled and looked up at the sky.

Can I dig without fooling around?

While I was in a daze, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

“… Ricky, if you look at it that way.”

“yes?”

“Aren’t we living better than we thought?”

“Us?”

“Yes, we. When you first came to Yubin, you were prepared to die soon.”

Danal stroked his chin.

He touched his sharp beard.

It means that I didn’t take care of it enough to keep it this way, or in other words, it means that I was able to spend that much leisurely.

There were no secret and dangerous missions to be undertaken as Kasha’s limbs.

All he did after coming here was patrolling the village or sleeping while holding a nominal knightly title.

Ricky scratched the back of his head.

“I heard that.”

“right?”

“Yes, except when that fire came… .”

“Except that because it’s creepy.”

Danal laughed.

Anyway, it’s a neighborhood where accidents rarely happen once in a while, but this quietness wasn’t bad.

No, I think that it is a very suitable neighborhood for living after retirement as an assassin that I dreamed of one day.

‘Can I continue to live like this?’

The Western War is likely to end soon, so am I going to live and die as a knight in this Korean-American territory?

It seemed like it wouldn’t be too bad.

Even Kasha, who is like the grim reaper, doesn’t look for them very often, so there’s nothing much to notice.

I was thinking about it.

“Look! Knight man!”

The owner of a bar I stopped by once in a while shouted loudly.

“Please bring some lumber here! I’m old, so I can’t use my waist at all!”

“Inspiration! Do you think the driver is not a handyman or something like that?!”

“To the madam… .”

“But me, Dynan, is different! Because he is a true knight who understands the hardships of the grassroots!”

From noble mtl dot com

Danal, walking with a thud, immediately picked up a load of wood and moved it toward the plaza.

Ricky’s glare was quite stinging, but life was more important than pride.

It was such a moment.

“leader! I’m back after training!”

“Oh, surprise!”

Danal was stunned by the sudden appearance of Veron.

“Why is that?!”

Veron tilted his head innocently.

Danal calmed his startled heart and glared at him, then sighed and shook his head.

“… No, nothing.”

Somehow, Veron’s assassination skills were developing day by day.

This was despite the fact that he had never received a full-fledged assassin education.

Even when he was Wolyeong’s training instructor, he had never seen such a talented guy before.

It was a mysterious alien species whenever I saw how he could perform such perfect covert maneuvers with a body of almost 2 meters.

‘If this kind of guy was a motive from Wolyeong days, the branch manager wouldn’t have even dreamed of it.’

Perhaps, if he grows up a little more, he will become an assassin who surpasses even his natural interests.

A strange feeling came to mind, but it soon faded.

“So what should I do now? What is the next skill to learn?!”

What could Ji want from Paktong, who didn’t even know if he was learning a knight class or an assassination class?

At this point, you might have noticed, but Veron only interpreted the Young class in a good way, believing that what I was learning was a knight class.

“Go and practice your diving skills some more. I’m holding my breath by the stream for an hour.”

“Patience training! Patience is the virtue of a knight! I’m coming!”

“Come, it’s okay if you don’t come.”

“I will not disappoint you!”

I never expected

Before he could say that, Veron snapped! and ran to the river.

In the meantime, it was moving without a sound, using a creepy shadow step.

Ricky asked in a hoarse voice.

“Captain, what the hell is that?”

There was only one answer Danal could give.

“… I don’t know either. scared.”

Danal could not understand Veron.

“President.”

The secretary’s voice opened Edward’s eyes.

“… ah.”

did you fall asleep

Edward got up from the bed and looked out the window.

What you see are the people of Wibin, who are in full swing preparing for the inauguration ceremony.

It was.

Edward hadn’t left Weebin yet.

“Wake up slowly. And you decide whether to go back or not.”

“Jeep, if we go back like this, you will hear what the old man said.”

Edward scratched the back of his head and let out a long breath.

This is because it is none other than EW’s largest shareholder, Demon King Gerdia, who grants immunity if this task is not performed properly.

At the last alliance meeting, he was the one who insisted more strongly on the recruitment of Kasha than anyone else.

-The Sword Emperor is a walking disaster. It’s like a natural disaster that no one can easily predict his will and can’t even prevent. Can’t catch it with magic It’s impossible even with your toys. The only thing worth walking on is the sword. He’s the one who doesn’t see a way other than that.

How can you just ignore the words of someone who has actually competed with the situation?

The entire alliance agreed with Gerdia’s opinion, and it was Edward who came in that role.

But I can’t see any way.

Kasha’s intention to refuse was so firm, how could she change her mind now?

Being in the middle was just embarrassing.

Edward muttered in a voice full of melancholy.

“We have to find a way before the inauguration is over.”

“Do you have anything in mind?”

“Is there?”

“Just talk… .”

“Get there. Because I feel really sad.”

It means that the secretary is not sure that he can’t eat the owner.

I tried to complain inwardly, but I couldn’t give any more glare.

In fact, Edward’s greatest strength was his secretary like Mojiri.

“Ugh, that’s it. What am I going to say to you?”

It’s just sad that no one knows.

Along with the inauguration ceremony, the Portman family’s mansion was drawing attention to one more thing.

It was nothing but flower gardening.

As promised last winter, Elric was planting flowers in the desolate flower bed with Tyria.

Under the concept of planting yellow flowers, green grass, and sparse red flowers, the work of covering the seeds divided by type in the soil continues.

One could say that getting dirt on one’s hands isn’t noble, but today’s Tyria was throwing off a layer of her usual dignity as her sleeves got dusty.

Elric looked at it.

At that moment, the past comes to mind.

– As a result of Situation’s entry into the war, the remaining 4 kingdoms have formed an alliance! All-out war is right around the corner! We need your strength!

Even though I shouldn’t have cared about it, the reason why those words kept coming to my mind was self-evident.

It is because it has been deeply involved in the war to the extent that it cannot be turned away.

10 years is half the time I remember.

Wouldn’t it be easy to dismiss those years as nonexistent?

The occasional feeling of discomfort plagued my stomach again.

That was the moment.

“Should we stop here for today?”

Tyria stood up and said.

“It would be good to stop here until the inauguration is over.”

“Because doing multiple things at once is frantic.”

“yes.”

Tyria nodded and stared blankly at Elric.

“Let’s go together.”

“hmm?”

“Are you really okay?”

It was the same question again.

These were the words I heard the most from her during the day lately, and the answer Elric gave was also the same.

“It’s okay, why are you doing that again?”

“… I’m sorry if I’ve offended you. Maybe it’s because your complexion isn’t very good.”

“Was that enough?”

Tyria hesitated.

At the end of it, the answer continued.

“… It seems that it was so that it was made after the inauguration ceremony was decided.”

Elric laughed bitterly as he stabbed the core as if he was sorry.

It seems that I can’t completely avoid her notice.

At a moment like this, should I just tell you everything I feel like?

How about talking about the past 10 years?

One, I couldn’t say.

“I am fine. I’m just nervous. A lord with such a lame attitude, isn’t that too out of place?”

How can I say

That your husband is a murderer who has lived by building a mountain of corpses for 10 years and stepping on it.

It is said that a person’s life was weighed by a single gold coin, and the country’s national treasury was robbed by holding the country’s existence hostage.

He was such a mercenary.

‘… It’s only five days.’

In five days it will all be over.

Thinking, Elric said.

“Let’s go. Didn’t you say that guests from other territories will come tomorrow?”

“… Ah yes. The princess also expressed her intention to attend.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to pay more attention to dressing up.”

“Ah, since you’re dressed up.”

“hmm?”

“I’d like to invite Captain Dynan’s sister, who was helpful at the last banquet, once again. Can you tell me something?”

“Okay. Let’s talk.”

“thank you. It seems that reporters will flock this time.”

“I really want to be inaugurated as a country lord only when there is so much interest in it.”

“It must mean that there are many people who look at it favorably.”

Hide your mind and pretend to be calm.

The nerve-racking thing was pushed into a corner.

So Elric wrapped up five days before the inauguration ceremony.

The next day, I visited Danal.

“I have to play the role of a little sister. Your wife likes your makeup.”

“yes?”

“yes?”

“… yes!”

I don’t know Elric, but there was another person quite close with a disturbing contrast to Yubin’s liveliness.

‘Is this the rest of my life?’

Danal was filled with anxiety that the number of occasions for dressing up as a woman would increase considerably.
