(EP-120.2) Gentle Prisoner #(Interlude)
120 – Gentle Prisoner #(Interlude)
So ti after Elga beca interested in the Status Window.
Feeling exhausted from all the events that had happened today, I was dozing off while stroking Elga’s head.
“Hey, Theo, are you listening to ? You’re not sleeping, are you?”
Elga shook my body, which snapped out of my half-asleep state, and wiped the drool off my mouth.
“Yes, I’m listening.”
“Oh ok, I thought you were sleeping.”
“…….”
If you knew I was sleeping, then let sleep….
But those words never saw the light of day. Because if I said this, Elga would probably sulk.
I simply yawned without speaking, while Elga said.
“As you know, I am thinking of sending a letter to my father. A hawk would be better than a pigeon, right? It’s faster.”
“… What letter? What pigeon?”
Hearing my question, Elga lifted her face which was buried in my chest and slightly frowned, before pinching my belly with her hand.
“You weren’t listening to !”
“… Euk.”
“I knew it! So you didn’t hear say that I was going to send a ssenger pigeon to my father?”
Did she say that?
I couldn’t hear because I was sleeping.
It might be best to just co clean.
“I wasn’t really listening. I was half-asleep.”
“How can you sleep talking to ? Being with makes you nervous, doesn’t it?”
“No, that’s….”
“It’s all because you’re out of shape. Starting tomorrow, you’ll train with every morning, alright? We’ll run two laps around Ark!”
‘… Training.’
My vision darkened upon hearing that scary word.
My Half-Fairy body was physically weak, so even a little rush of activity would make out of breath quickly.
“Anyway, I’m going to send a few ssages to my father. There are a lot of things I want to ask and a lot of things to report.”
“Are you going to tell your father about our relationship?”
“No, are you crazy!?”
Elga was furious at my question.
“If my dad finds out about our relationship now, he’ll rip your head off!”
“… Lord Reinhardt will pull my head off my body?”
I imagined the sight of a gigantic man grabbing my head. Considering his dignity and presence, such a scene was easy to picture.
That man could easily twist my neck like opening a soft drink. However, Reinhardt was a refined man.
“Will Lord Reinhardt actually kill ?”
“What do you think would happen if I brought ho a random guy as his son-in-law? Of course he’d get angry! Soone who couldn’t fight off sleep because of his weak stamina wouldn’t fit the Lioness Family! When my father sees-.”
“…….”
Presented with hard facts, I had no counter. Then Elga suddenly trembled and added, as if she made a slip of the tongue.
“Of course, that’s what my father would say. I don’t think so, though…”
Then Elga stroked my belly.
It seed like she was trying to comfort , but since she had never comforted anyone before, her gestures were very awkward.
“But it is true that you are weak. You should at least be able to win against my father. Otherwise, he will definitely co and kill you!”
“No, Reinhard-nim is currently working as the chancellor of Monarch City. Are you saying he would co all the way here to just rip my head off?”
“That’s right!”
Then who would take care of the country?
I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if Reinhardt, who maintained order by ruling over Angmar, would deploy his troops.
After barely managing to stabilize the situation within the country, the thought of causing even greater chaos by touching Elga was dreadful. Thinking so, I calmly said, while cold sweat ran down my back.
“Then, we must keep it a secret from Lord Reinhardt.”
“Yes! At least until you can handle my father in a fight. We have to keep it a secret until we can win together.”
“Elga-nim will fight with ?”
At my question, Elga buried her head close to my side as if she had heard an embarrassing story.
“… Yes. I will fight with you now. You are too weak.”
‘I see.’
Elga seed to have gathered the courage to confess to in her own way. Was there any love confession more Elga-y than Elga wanting to fight alongside ?
Since Elga opened her heart to , I decided to also speak honestly to Elga.
“I’ll also fight together with Elga-nim, no matter how dangerous the situation might get!”
“… Hmph, whatever. Mind your own business.”
Elga bit my side again, but it was not that strong. Rather it tickled .
The atmosphere was good.
Taking advantage of this situation, I decided to confess a few more things.
“Elga-nim, I have another confession to make.”
“Confession…? What else do you want to confess…. It’s embarrassing.”
I said to the hesitant Elga.
“To be honest, it’s not really a confession, but sothing I need to ask forgiveness for….”
Suddenly, my throat tightened.
This was simply my survival instinct kicking in, because I felt that Elga might kill once I said this.
“What are you asking forgiveness for? Did you do anything wrong?”
Elga’s deanor had softened considerably. I felt relieved that she might forgive regardless of what I said.
But what I was trying to say wasn’t just a bomb, it was a huge teor. So I was still nervous.
But I couldn’t keep running away from it forever.
Who knew when another teor would strike. It’d stack if I left it alone. Moreover, I could feel that this was the best ti using my Calm Thinking.
But, I should properly buckle up rather than blindly rushing into it.
“Uhm, Elga-nim. Elga-nim and I are family now, right?”
“… Well, you can say that.”
“Then, if I take more wives, what will happen between Elga-nim and the other wives?”
“A family….”
Elga suddenly stopped talking. Then, she got up and looked down at . Her ocean-blue eyes seed colder than icicles.
“There is another woman besides ?”
“…….”
Elga looked like a hungry beast. I, too, got up from the bed and looked at Elga. I wasn’t going to run away. Instead, I would face her like a man.
Then Elga let out a small sigh and shrugged her shoulders as if she couldn’t win.
“You’re quite a guy, huh? Well, I didn’t think there would be other won besides . How great is she?”
“Eum-.”
“As a noble with an open mind and generous heart, shouldn’t I accept it?”
Elga said as if she was pressing down her anger.
It was more appropriate to say that she was growling rather than talking, but I was relieved to see that Elga seed to forgive .
Elga continued.
“I’ll accept it. You can consider such sincerity from my heart. Anyway, I’m the main wife. The rest will be concubines. Won’t I be the highest? And there’s no connection with concubines… It’s just a physical relationship, no?”
Elga’s patience seed to be on the edge with her rambling. Then she finally looked at and asked.
“So who is it? It’s not that strange Imp, is it? The one who stole my pork cutlet.”
“It’s not Marmar.”
“Then who? I’ve never seen you with another woman besides that Imp…?”
Elga kept shaking her head as if she really didn’t know or just wanted to deny reality. I had no choice but to tell her the truth.
“Elga-nim is now like Mirna-nim’s family.”
“Like a family…”
