Chapter 288 – 288. Conflicting Minds (2)
============================
Is it because I love the same man?
Allen knew that just as she truly loved a man named Yushin Gilead, Ardena also truly loved Yushin.
So she hated her.
He was the main culprit that caused me and my brother to break up.
Because he was the terrible culprit who took her brother away from me.
‘I will never give up on my brother. I’ll hang on to it no matter what.’
Just like I did.
When my brother said goodbye
As if clinging to it while shedding ugly tears.
Please let me stay by your side please don’t abandon me Throwing away all face and pride, holding on to the crotch of his pants, he would not try to get away from his side somehow.
‘Oh really! Why am I fucking thinking about the old days, me!’
Allen scratched her head annoyedly, frowning at her recollection of her past self.
Why, to those long ears,
Do you mean to feel trivial emotions like sympathy and pity?
Let’s not think hard.
If you keep thinking about troublesome things, it will only make your head hurt.
Confused by the gradual transformation of her self, who had begun to subtly acknowledge her ardena, Allen, as she always did, left her unresolved problems to her future self.
“Allen Roxfield.”
“Why?”
This time Ardena opened her mouth.
Allen responded to her voice calling her.
“Since when did you start Yushin… , Did you fall in love?”
“Why do I have to tell you, long ears!”
At her Ardena’s act of inquiring into her own heart, Allen exposed her sharp thorns.
However, Ardena’s stare at her with an extremely serious look made her finally answer her question.
“He was the first person to acknowledge me. Before she was a teacher who taught swordsmanship… , Taught an incorrigible monster of her name, Allen Rocksfield, her worth and taught her how to live.”
Me who rushed to kill me,
I, who was afraid of being considered a ‘monster’ and roughly rejected those who approached me,
Took care of me
She liked me
I vehemently denied my fears that everyone in the world, except her mother, was treating me like a monster.
“I heard from Yushin. There was such an idiot that even he couldn’t handle it.”
“Hey, shut up!”
Ardena gritted her teeth at Ardena’s words as she brought up her embarrassing past.
The shameful past I want to bury forever,
I felt resentful of Yushin for telling the rival I didn’t want to find out the most.
“But Yushin said proudly. The disciple I raised beat him to the 2nd seat of the seven kingdom swords.”
“… Huh.”
Upon hearing Ardena’s sincerity, Arlen avoided her gaze with blushing cheeks.
When I wasn’t there,
I never thought I would have said that to my ears.
She was Allen who always showed off her confidence to the point of brazenness, but there was no way to withstand her sincere words, so her white nape was so embarrassed that it burned bright red.
‘Huh! I thought I would fall for that candy game!’
It is clear that she intends to take the brother she loves after she has lowered her guard with candy coating!
Allen made a deliberately ferocious expression.
However, the wolf’s tail wagging behind his back was more docile than ever.
Seeing Allen’s wolf ears moving on top of her head, Ardena thought, ‘Maybe Allen Rocksfield isn’t a human who only shows violent and ferocious appearances every time.’
‘If I hadn’t unilaterally taken Yushin… , Allen Roxfield wouldn’t have been so violent.’
Maybe her cause that made her wild,
Maybe it wasn’t me
Convinced that Allen Roxfield’s nature may not be evil, Ardena’s actions out of her own selfishness lead her to assume that Allen may have become more violent. It became.
“I still hate you.”
Said Allen.
Leaning on the railing up to his waist,
Allen, who had both eyes on the lake covered with darkness, confidently revealed her true feelings to Ardena.
“Because I’m narrow-minded, I can’t forgive anyone, and I don’t know how to be considerate of anyone. I’ll hate the person I hate forever, and I’m the type of person who feels refreshed only when he takes revenge without fail. And isn’t that the same for you? You pretend to be clean and noble, but in the end, you too are eager to monopolize your brother.”
“I am different from you, Allen Roxfield. I am the type of person who knows how to admit my mistakes and apologize.”
“Buck. Don’t talk nonsense.”
At Ardena’s reply, Allen snorted at her and laughed at her.
Clapping hands is the law to fly.
Like I want to monopolize my brother,
I know that you also harbor a dark desire to monopolize your brother.
Because we both had the same desire.
“Allen Roxfield.”
Ardena raised her head and looked at her Allen.
Did you feel the gaze behind your back?
As she gazed at the landscape of the lake, Allen’s gaze turned to Ardena.
“I forcibly took Yushin from you because of my selfish needs. It is a fact that cannot be hidden. It’s too late, but… , I want to sincerely apologize to you for that even now.”
For Alone, the reason was just an excuse.
Ardena knew deep down.
She first falls in love with the man named Yusin Gilead who defeated her in a duel, and realizes that she kidnapped him as a war slave because of her desire to possess him.
Even if the results are good,
The sin that forced separation from life will never go away.
“I don’t want to apologize to you. Don’t be hypocritical while pretending to be modest.”
Because I really can’t
Said Allen, adding to her afterword.
And she opened her mouth to Ardena again.
“Because being hated by me, my brother, and the people of the kingdom was all the same. I had a good look thanks to you. It was really fun to reach out and pretend to be sorry when we left all at once on the subject of all sorts of disregard and poor treatment.”
As Allen burst into her giggles, she revealed her enmity towards the kingdom of Valois.
Stupid kings and nobles,
In the end, wasn’t it destroyed at the hands of vampires?
They were cheap guys.
Stupid, stupid scumbags.
Even the moment she died, it was clear that she would have died without knowing her own fault.
“You really have a bad personality.”
“Elongated ears, same with you.”
When Ardena and Allen were openly revealing their inner feelings while looking at each other,
As the door opened, Yooshin poked his head out.
“Come in now. Because it’s done.”
At Yushin’s call, Ardena and Allen returned to their usual appearances as they turned their gazes toward each other.
We only had a brief, honest conversation.
There was no change in the enmity relationship, which continued an uncomfortable confrontation like sleeping with the enemy.
But maybe….
May have changed a little bit,
There may have been a very small change in the antagonism built by hostility towards the rival.
“Huh.”
Seeing Ardena’s flawless face, as if not a drop of blood would come out of her even if he stabbed her with a needle, Allen pinched her snort.
And on her lips,
A faint smile began to form.
* * *
What greeted Ardena and Allen when they entered the villa again was a small glass container full of orange-colored frozen treats.
Sherbet with orange pulp,
Flavor is added by mixing the pulp of Valencia oranges, which are famous as a specialty of Youngrim in Valencia.
As if she wanted to eat herself immediately, Allen hurriedly approached her table to see if Sherbet’s mouth was watering.
“Yushin, how did you make sherbet?”
Allen, who has already started spooning,
Then, as Ardena held up a glass container full of sherbet, she asked Yoo-shin how she made it.
“The performance of the prosthetic hand was amazing.”
Yushin held out his left arm.
A prosthetic hand fitted in place of her severed left arm,
As he stretched out his prosthetic hand, pure white cold air began to spray out.
“…….”
I’m sure Master didn’t add that ability to his prosthetic arm to make sherbet.
The prosthetic hand that sprays cold air is strange,
His tongue stuck out at Yushin’s improvisation, which used it amazingly.
“Delicious….”
Ardena, who put a spoonful of sherbet in her mouth,
I was amazed at the taste of the sherbet that filled my palate with the sweetness of the sweet orange pulp, along with the feeling of cold thin ice in my mouth.
It was really good.
Although it pricks my conscience that I used the sixth holy relic refined by Master for this purpose.
However, it seemed that if Master ate this sherbet, he would extenuate the normalcy to some extent.
“It would have been nice if powdered milk or condensed milk was used, but that’s a bit disappointing. I’m glad it still tastes good.”
“Thank you, Yushin.”
“It was nothing. Compared to lobster, it’s nothing.”
“To me, this sherbet you made tastes better.”
Having said that, Ardena opened a large spoonful and handed it out to Yushin.
Yushin accepted Ardena’s favor.
She put the sherbet into her mouth, biting into the spoon she had once held in her mouth.
The coolness of crispy thin ice and the sweet flesh of Valencia oranges.
The very light saliva of a high elf warrior chief.
It was a fatal sweetness.
“Chit.”
Seeing Yushin and Ardena caring for each other, Allen reacted disapprovingly.
And she, like Ardena herself, tried to give Yushin a bite of sherbet.
But what she saw
Just a glass container that quickly emptied.
I ate it in a hurry, saying it was delicious, so I had nothing to concede to Yushin.
“Hmm….”
Allen’s sobbing, full of regret,
After thinking about it for a long time, Allen raised her head to see if he had finally come up with a good trick.
“Ah!”
Allen’s face turned red.
Why didn’t I think of that?
Even if the sherbet in the glass container is empty, there is still sherbet that can be given.
“Brother.”
Allen, with her mischievous grin, took a step closer and shoved Ardena into her body.
And as she stretched out her arms to Yushin,
“Brother, eat mine too.”
She took his lips.
At the sight of the owner who was distracted by another puppy,
Just like a jealous puppy rushing into her owner’s arms and snatching away her love.
Ardena snatched Yushin’s lips in front of her and slowly opened her soft lips.
She slowly let her own saliva flow with the sweet sweetness of the sherbet that remained in her mouth.
“Chu-up, chu-chuup….”
The subsequent indulgence of saliva,
Her tongue protruded from between her soft lips and greedily coveted the inside of her opponent’s mouth.
Perhaps she felt quite jealous of Yushin, who showed affection for Ardena, and she kissed her more wildly and violently than usual.
“Kuk!”
Ardena, who had been watching, glared at Allen while spitting out her drool.
Yushin and Allen are engaged for a long time,
Since we were in a mutually loving relationship, we could have tolerated a kiss, but….
While kissing Yushin, she kept her eyes open and smiled like a crescent moon as if teasing herself.
