Chapter 23 – Dangerous Bargains (2)
The day after confirming his passionate feelings for Yushin, and establishing a close physical relationship.
“Good morning.”
“Ah, uh… Uh… No, nyeong…”
Unlike Yushin, who greets as usual,
Alone couldn’t lift his head, his face flushed red.
How could that guy act like nothing happened?
He felt savage at the actions of Yushin, who behaved so calmly compared to himself, who was at a loss. Normally, she would have played a prank, but now Alone didn’t dare to look at Yushin’s face.
“What are the preparations?”
“I got everything.”
“Where shall we hang out today? The wind is cool and the clouds are hovering moderately, so it’s perfect weather for a picnic.”
“No, I want to attend a lecture today.”
“Okay? Okay.”
The relationship with Yushin was awkward.
I don’t know what to say or how to deal with it.
It was so awkward that Alone even offered to take a class on classical literature, which he hated. He would rather listen to classical literature, but he couldn’t choose the awkwardness of being alone with the first person he had allowed his body to be.
“Hello.”
It was Leticia’s voice.
A high elf girl with red hair.
Leticia, who appeared in neat attire, bowed her head and greeted Yushin.
She didn’t head straight to Bria Academy from Santander Castle. She always went by way of Valencia Castle. She was in order to ride the warp gate leading to the academy with Yushin.
“Your condition is strange.”
“…Shut up.”
Alone, who would normally have screamed at me not to come, was quiet today.
Leticia found it strange.
Alone was a high elf who was so full of energy that he thought it was annoying.
Alone glanced at Yushin and lowered her head. It was clear that he had some contact with Yushin yesterday. Since she sparred with Yushin in Valencia Castle until late in the afternoon, she must have had a point of contact ‘late at night’.
‘Teacher is a man before he is a human. I heard that all men are stallions that serve as sowers. If that’s the case, could it be that I’m with Alone late at night…?’
Hug-!
Leticia’s face turned red.
It was because he had a delusion of Yushin and Alone having a hot physical affair.
The only sacred knowledge that the Santander family girl had acquired was the 19-karat gold romance novel she secretly possessed. Leticia, whose delusion switch was turned on, imagined Yushin shaking her waist like a beast, and Alone twisting her whole body, letting out her groans mixed with her ecstasy. I carried on my own delusion.
‘I don’t know if it’s just an elf, but it’s impossible for a high elf to conceive a human baby. Of course you had birth control, right? Would have done Even the stupid Alone would have that kind of common sense.’
Leticia blushed.
She avoided Yushin’s gaze while holding her cheeks flushed with high fever with both hands.
‘The atmosphere is really heavy.’
Yushin couldn’t help but notice the two high elves at the reaction of Alone and Leticia, who refused to meet her gaze.
* * *
After Alone and Leticia entered the classroom, Yushin had to sit in a secluded place and pass the time as usual.
Practice swordsmanship alone at the training ground,
He chatted with the faculty members of the academy he hadn’t known each other, but he was free today.
“Aren’t you the main character who made the whole country of elves go wild?”
An elf male approached.
He was a handsome man with silver hair and curly hair.
“That’s right.”
“Because black-haired Asian men are not a feature that is easily seen. He knew at a glance.”
Yooshin looked at the elf man who suddenly approached as if he was curious.
Elf ‘male’.
It was not easy to see male elves in an elven country with an extreme gender gap of 8:2.
Of course, it’s not something I haven’t seen before. However, since the majority of elves are female, males were bound to stand out. In addition, the elf man in front of him was dressed in classy clothes.
“My name is Manuel. This is Manuel Navas. I am in the Liberia Political Office.”
“Political Affairs Bureau?”
“If you compare it to the kingdom of Valois… You can see it as a ministry under the direct jurisdiction of the prime minister.”
“You mean a bureaucrat in charge of domestic affairs.”
“Yes that’s right.”
“By the way, why did a busy person come to this academy? I’m not a security guard, but I can’t help but be wary of suspicious outsiders.”
An elf male named Manuel waved his hand at Yushin’s wary tone.
“I came to discuss the issue of negotiations with the Kingdom of Valois.”
“A top?”
“Of course, this negotiation is a diplomatic matter between the Elves and the Kingdom of Valois, but the opinions of the parties are also important. I have come to inquire about your intentions.”
“You should have gone to Ardena to ask the person concerned. What power do I have?”
What kind of decision does a mere slave have?
It is up to the master to determine the treatment of the slave. In that sense, Manuel had picked the wrong person to ask.
“You are persuasive when you say that. However, as the person in charge of negotiations with the kingdom of Valois this time around, I just wanted to ask Yushin-nim’s opinion.”
“But why do you keep calling me ‘nim’? Does this country treat slaves with respect?”
“I often hear that I am an outlier.”
Manuel scratched his head.
As if he had been treated as a geek more than once or twice, he admitted that he was a geek.
Even in Yushin’s eyes, Manuel was an oddball. That too on a very serious level. You mean this elf is in charge of this negotiation? Like the Kingdom of Valois, the Elves of Liberia seemed like a country full of eccentrics.
“Ardena-nim is also attending this negotiation. You can’t go out to the negotiations without any security.”
“That would be the same for the kingdom of Valois. The Seven Swords of the Kingdom will surely attend.”
“Yes, we will also have the warrior commanders step forward.”
“It’s war level.”
The Seven Swords of the Kingdom of Valois.
The 12th Warrior Commander of the Liberia Elves.
The best forces of both countries are gathered.
It was like a powder keg full of gunpowder. If even the smallest ember falls, the powder magazine will become an unquenchable flame and burn everything.
For Yushin, who stood at the center of the storm, there was no time to be in trouble. It was strange that negotiations were held despite his refusal, and it was also strange that negotiations between the two countries were becoming more and more dangerous than necessary.
“Obviously, I told Ardena that I would not return to the kingdom. Didn’t the news reach the upper level of the Elf country by any chance?”
“No, Lord Ardena told us.”
“Then there would be no reason to open negotiations.”
I couldn’t even figure out why.
I’m going to throw an impossibility in the negotiations anyway, so is there any point in proceeding with the negotiations?
It seemed that the aristocrats of the Elf country had their own plans. This negotiation seemed to be intended to discuss something important between the two countries, rather than simply deciding on a prisoner exchange.
“I have a lot of secrets that I have to hide. I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you clearly.”
“All tax collectors are like that.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“I never said I would understand.”
Manuel nodded his head with a smile at the answer given on the Day of Restoration.
* * *
After continuing to persuade Heinkel, Allen was able to join the delegation.
Never make a fuss.
Never show murderous intent until the elves draw their swords.
Allen accepted Heinkel’s terms. If she hadn’t accepted that condition, Heinkel would never have allowed it.
“Are you really allowing me to marry you?”
“Of course, the intentions of the parties are important.”
“You don’t have to worry. Because I’m always ready!”
No, not you…
Heinkel tried to raise a question about the intentions of the Restoration in response to Allen’s bold answer, but he decided to keep his mouth shut as it seemed like there would be a fuss.
Like a poor fellow.
Heinkel showed compassion to his disciple.
“Hello, Sir Heinkel. Sir Allen. I will be in charge of escorting the delegation this time.”
A man wearing glasses walked by.
Respectfully bowed to Heinkel and Allen, showing the courtesy of a subordinate.
Kingdom Seven Swords 5 seats.
Robert Dick Angers.
Originally, it was planned that 5-seok and 6-seok would be escorted. However, as Allen, who had 2 seats, suddenly took part, the 6 seats that were originally supposed to be taken were excluded. However, since Allen was not fit for command, Roberdick was given command of the escort.
“We have obtained clues about Yushin-kyung, who was taken to the Elf country.”
“How did it go!”
Allen shouted.
When the word related to Yushin was mentioned, she reacted violently.
Heinkel raised his hand to stop Allen, who was about to jump in at any moment. After that, she winked at Robert Dick and urged him to begin explaining.
“Fortunately, I was able to hear the news by contacting the guild that has exchanges with the elves. Right now, Lord Shin Yoo is said to be in the city of Valencia.”
“Valencia?”
“It is a port city located in the eastern part of the Liberia Peninsula.”
Valencia.
It’s a familiar name.
Heinkel and Allen eventually received surprising news from Roberdick.
“Even though the war was lost, Lord Yushin defeated the warrior chief of the Elf country.”
“I heard from the defeated soldiers.”
“The name of the warrior leader that Lord Yushin defeated is Ardena Valencia.”
“So you’re saying that Yushin is detained in the city of that warrior commander?”
“Under the circumstances, yes.”
It’s amazing.
As if it was absurd, Heinkel responded with a laugh.
Subsequently, Roberdick announced that Yusin was sold as a slave at the auction house in the slave city of Pamplona, and that the elf he bought for a large sum of money was Ardena. It is said that he bought Yushin as a slave for a whopping 5 billion aether.
“Is it to relieve resentment? His pride must have been greatly damaged as he was defeated in front of his men.”
“It is said that Lord Yushin looked fine. It doesn’t look like you bought it with a grudge.”
“Since we have prepared 10 billion aether, the other side will be satisfied as well. Because I was able to make a whopping double profit.”
Heinkel was hoping that the bewildered disciple would return safely.
Money is just fine.
What the kingdom of Valois needs right now is the 3 stones of the seven swords of the kingdom.
Now that the Demon King’s army was in motion, the Kingdom of Valua had to always have full power. 2nd Prince Alphonse, who treats Yushin as a thorn in his eye, will sabotage every case, but he won’t be able to move recklessly right now.
‘I wish you well. If something goes wrong with that disciple… I’m afraid I’ll lose my self-control no matter how much I do.’
Heinkel nodded his head.
Thanks to Robert Dick for the news.
Meanwhile, Allen, who heard all about her story from Rob Dick, reacted indifferently.
However, she was only calm on the outside, and Allen, who heard the name Ardena Valencia, gnashed his teeth while burning hatred and jealousy. She muttered the name of the elf that had bought her fiancé, whom she loved, as her slave, and she swore that she would surely kill her.
‘Ardena, Valencia. Ardena Valencia…! Ardena Valencia. Dare, dare, dare! That damn elf bitch!!’
The kingdom of Valois didn’t know.
That Ardena and Valencia were in charge of escorting the elven delegation.
And the Liberia Elves didn’t know either. That Allen Roxfield, the fiancée of Yushin Gilead, will be participating in this delegation.
Ardena Valencia.
Allen Roxfield.
The two knights will meet at the diplomatic arena of the two countries where negotiations are held for the purpose of exchanging prisoners.
