Chapter 216 – Hook in
“Wolfgang the Slayer?”
Bjorn’s hollow eyes widened wide.
Would the father’s expression be like this when he heard the news of the pregnancy from his daughter who had left the house?
When it came to marriage, it was Astrid who ran away with various excuses.
Even just what Bjorn remembers right now, dozens of times.
So, this time, it was Bjorn who showed a careless attitude, wondering what nonsense he was going to do again.
The answer he had just received was of a kind far beyond his expectations.
Bjorn stuttered, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
“…I know the name. He was an enemy, but he was a fearsome berserker who had no choice but to admit it. But, didn’t you fight him to the death?”
“That’s right!”
“Um…”
Bjorn swallowed silently without being able to speak properly.
Wolfgang, who had been quietly watching his father and daughter’s argument, could not hide his bewilderment.
Astrid smiled triumphantly at the two of them.
‘Good! It worked… Me?’
Of course, I was sweating profusely on the inside.
In reality, he was just saying whatever came to his mind.
For some reason, the effect is beyond imagination.
Although I feel a little uncomfortable about cheating on my father again.
Rather than that, the feeling of pleasure as if I had finally fed that goddamn stranger came even louder.
“Hey, stranger. If you’re an Imperial, you’ve probably heard of Wolfgang the Slayer, right?”
“…”
Reaction as if a person is broken.
Look at that stupid face
Astrid sighed in delight.
She was her nemesis who left her indelible scars on her heart, but she is now more than grateful.
Just as if a fence was smeared with tiger dung, most beasts would not be able to get anywhere, the arrogant stranger froze as soon as he mentioned the killer’s name.
Well, if he were him, he would make even his allies tremble.
What a tenacious guy he was.
“Mmmm.”
It was Astrid who unconsciously nodded her head and began to drastically raise her evaluation of her old rival.
We lost but fought well!
The enemy is as strong as this, so he himself who fought against such a mighty enemy is also amazing.
‘Compared to him, that guy is nothing!’
It was close to the bizarre mental self-consolation peculiar to a loser, but what is it?
As for her, if she felt good, she was fine.
“Well, you seem to be hitting a bit, too. Honestly, it wouldn’t work for him?”
“No. That’s certainly not wrong.”
“I’m telling you. If you want to make me your rug, you’ll have to defeat him first. Barely defeating me isn’t enough. I prefer men who are overwhelmingly stronger than me.”
“Umm. So…”
“Why are you scared?”
Astrid was getting more and more immersed in the false unrequited love story she had unknowingly invented herself.
The crisis that has come this time is different from the ones that have been through so far.
No matter what, I can’t see any justification for getting out.
At this rate, she would have to marry a stranger she had never seen before.
Because that was an absolute specification.
The reason Astrid hated her marriage was not far away.
In the past, by chance, I had witnessed a scene where a man and a woman met each other’s eyes making love.
For her, intercourse was a messy affair.
‘Yes… ! There, more there!’
‘Huh… ! Shut up and raise your leg some more, bitch.’
‘Yes… ♡’
A woman gasping for her wild breath under her man.
Even though she is insulted and harassed by the other person, she fawns as if she is in a good mood.
She reveals all kinds of secret and shameful body parts.
Didn’t the appearance of eating each other look just like the mating of animals?
Astrid could never tolerate the way she spread her legs wide to her man and craved his love.
Just imagining it felt like her pride as a warrior was being tainted.
She couldn’t even understand why the other women did it.
The natural affection and opposite sex that sprouts between her man and woman.
And because of that, her simmering arousal and sexuality were all too far-fetched for Astrid, who had lived her life as a warrior.
“Hey, look at this…!”
However, it was possible to imitate her.
I’ve seen a lot of silly faces of women in love.
Astrid’s breathing quickens and a blush appears on her face.
She began her act by pretending to be genuinely infatuated with the slayer.
“When I think of that person, her face heats up and her heart races. I keep thinking of the times I spent with that person. Do you understand?
Anyway, this is what happened.
She decided to go out even more.
She thinks it’s very funny, but she did a pretty good job in her own opinion.
For her, a superhuman no less than Wolfgang herself, it was as easy as flipping the palm of her hand to disguise her physiological excitement by adjusting her body appropriately.
Of course, it was a great performance for herself as well.
To the others, she looked nothing more than a pervert who suddenly blushed and let out her hot breath in the middle of a serious conversation.
“It’s Astrid…”
As she looks at her daughter, Bjorn’s gaze turns to amazement.
There is a saying that no matter how much she fights, she loves the opponent who risked her life.
He couldn’t help but worry that her beloved daughter might have rather dangerous tastes.
The previous excuses seemed like nonsense, but this time I felt the sincerity, so it’s all the more disturbing.
He looked at the stranger whom he had secretly marked as his son-in-law with a complex face.
Excellent military power and lofty pride that matches it.
It is close to the most ideal male figure given in the land of frost.
Even the conditions are good. It was a sense of son-in-law that even an Amman stranger would never want to miss.
However, if your daughter really likes someone else.
No matter how good a groom is, isn’t it a bad thing to force a marriage?
Just like that, while Bjorn struggles with her duties as chieftain and her wish for her daughter’s happiness.
‘Ruler. What are you going to do?’
It is said that there are no parents who win over their children.
As her father showed signs of being persuaded by her, Astrid, who became even more proud, openly laughed at the stranger in front of her.
In the first place, the author did not seem to have a particular heart for himself.
So, at this point, I’ll be able to figure it out.
However, the atmosphere is a bit strange.
A strange enthusiasm began to flash in the stranger’s eyes.
Then he opened his mouth in a needlessly serious manner.
“I didn’t know you thought of Wolfgang that way. Ask again. Are you serious?”
“Yes. I don’t want to marry anyone but him. Do you understand? I’m saying don’t even dream of you.”
“…Do you really love him?”
“Love? I honestly don’t know what it is. But, just thinking about that person makes his heart boil. If it’s love that reminds me of that person’s face whenever I forget it. I’m sure it’s right.”
Astrid’s hot acting continues.
He obviously wasn’t lying.
It was true that whenever I thought of him, my heart would burn with hatred, and whenever I could forget, I would recall the face of my enemy over and over again and seek vengeance.
“Hmm.”
“What, why are you like this?”
Astrid stares at the stranger who has suddenly started to suffer with an evil eye.
Soon, he nodded his head as if he understood, and slowly opened his mouth.
“I know how you feel. I’m sorry I’ve been too harsh on you.”
“It’s okay. You might get hit a little while fighting. I don’t care if I get hit a few times, so please get out of here.”
“I’m in trouble right now. I need time to organize my thoughts on how to treat you.”
“No, you mean. Why are you so sloppy all of a sudden?”
“That…”
Why are you doing that?
Are you really trying to fight the slayer and come back?
What the hell is the wind blowing like that?
This is a reaction Astrid never expected.
By the time she was visibly flustered.
—Kwaaang!
Without any notice.
A wild explosion was heard outside the tent.
At that, Astrid and Bjorn hurriedly jumped out of their seats and stood up.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s the fence, it’s the fence side!”
The sound of the explosion came from the direction of the iron fence separating the tribal territory and the no-man’s-land.
One of the tribe’s warriors came running in panting to report the raid.
“Chief! The tribe has been attacked! The enemy… Is the Blood, Fimbulbert tribe!”
“What? Did those bastards really turn around?”
Quickly, Astrid gnashed her teeth. She has bulging veins on her temples.
Aggression from neighboring tribes.
It wasn’t even a remnant area like a cliff in front of a large snowfield, but the living quarters of the tribesmen were attacked.
The extent of the appearance of a stranger from a mysterious empire is an issue that seems trivial.
No matter how much things have changed after the war, comrades attack each other.
It was something that was beyond common sense, even if it crossed the line.
But what has already happened.
It wasn’t the time to sit back and think about things.
“Dad! First, I’ll go!”
“Be careful, daughter!”
“Don’t worry about me, watch out for Daddy!”
Bjorn, who had sent Astrid away, bowed her head to Wolfgang as if he had no face.
He seemed genuinely sorry for the situation.
“I’m sorry. This is what happens when you have guests… You should hurry up and go see your party.”
Whatever the reason, it was a great disrespect to the guests staying at the tribe.
It is against the customs of the Land of Frost to cause trouble to guests.
Even if they were strangers, they were no exception as long as they accepted them as guests once.
“Yes. If the situation turns out to be unusual, we will do our best to help.”
“…I just hope that doesn’t happen.”
Before long, Bjorn also hurriedly vacated his seat.
“… Confusing in many ways.”
Wolfgang looked at his back for a while and ran to find his companions.
First, it was to understand the situation.
