Chapter 58 – Options (3)
=================
Liana asked.
“President… , Are you okay… ?”
At her junior’s question, Ardena, who was wearing a bandage on one of her shoulders, rose from her sick bed.
“Nothing in particular.”
Ardena answered.
She was a pro who fought in numerous battlefields while serving as a warrior commander for as many as 300 years.
She was, so she didn’t mind.
Even if it had terrible scars engraved on its body. The wounds she sustained while protecting the head of the god were rather evidence of meritorious deeds. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. However, Ardena’s heart was already in a state of disrepair.
“What about Yushin?”
Ardena’s question was answered as Liana let out her deep sigh.
“Once, it seemed that I was heading to Santander Castle from the Royal Castle of Maherit. She then disappeared with her men….”
She thoroughly distrusts the country of elves.
Ardena felt a sharp pain in her chest at the act of restoring her disappearance along with her men.
I have no reason to be with you.
Yushin’s words lingered vividly in my ears. In her rage, her words may be nothing more than her words. But to her Ardena, those words of hers were as painful and painful as sharp daggers.
“Ah.”
Ardena sighed briefly, sweeping her face.
She still couldn’t believe it.
To think that the Shadow Clan, under the direct control of the priest, attacked Yushin’s subordinates.
But it was true. Yetzirah Council held the High Priest responsible for the negotiating with the Demon King Slayer due to the Dark Elf’s arbitrary actions. It was revealed that Yushin’s words were true by showing the Dark Elves captured by Vilen Santander in the castle as evidence.
“Have you returned to the kingdom of Valois again? .”
“No, I don’t think so. Of course, to return to the Valois Kingdom, you have to pass through the Aquitaine Mountains, but seeing as there is no news from the ranger units in the Aquitaine Mountains, it seems that they have not returned to the Valois Kingdom.”
But she couldn’t jump to conclusions.
This is because the place where Yushin was born was Santander, a port city located in the northern part of Liberia’s elven country.
The possibility that he boarded a ship from the port of Santander and headed abroad could not be ruled out. If the family head of Santander supports Yushin…. Yushin could board a boat and leave the country of elves at any time.
“Then I will go to the Santander forest and take a look. Don’t worry, my specialty is detection and search.”
“Request.”
“Yes.”
Liana left her hospital room.
As she left, Ardena lay back on her sickbed and contemplated.
Put her hand on her forehead.
Covering her eyes, Ardena pursed her lips and recalled the time Yushin left.
‘It must have been only a month since I built a relationship with him in the elven country….’
Sexual love is an emotion that comes unexpectedly.
The time spent together doesn’t matter.
They fall in love just by meeting her eyes, and sometimes they are just friends for 10 years.
Ardena fell in love with Yushin at first sight, who gave her defeat on the battlefield. Her request to take over as her sister’s swordsmanship teacher was only her excuse. Because she wants to have him, she wants to be with him. So, she was obsessed enough to come directly to the elves who were transporting the prisoners.
‘Master said. It’s very dangerous for elves to love humans. Human life span is fleeting. In contrast, we elves live forever…. We live in different time zones.’
There are so many romances of elven women who love human men.
Elves are easily attracted to humans.
It is for this reason that they prefer humans over other races.
Humans and elves ignite passionate love, but it always ends in tragedy. Just as firewood burns in a fire, elves melt into human timelines while making love with humans. When a companion human dies at the end of its lifespan, the elf can’t overcome the solitude and loneliness and ends her own life. So, the romance between humans and elves is glossed over, saying, “They lived happily ever after.”
“If only I had known this…. If I had known it would end like this I would have mustered the courage to approach it somehow.”
The regret melted away.
I was drenched in melancholy, like heavy raindrops seeping into the ground.
Those who leave don’t come back Ardena knew that better than anyone else. It is because she let go of the teacher whom she admired the most in this world.
She vowed never to be in pain again. She cried out that she would not suffer any more, resenting Master for leaving without a word. However….
‘Again. In addition…. Left again Both Master and Yushin left me.’
Won’t come back
Because the master who left me never came back.
The same goes for Yushin.
Obviously you hate me Because I broke my promise…. The one who broke his expectations and the promise with him was the elf… , It’s my fault for not protecting my subordinates from the Dark Elves.
“… Everyone leave me.”
Ardena buried her face in her pillow.
Lying on her bed, she let go of the resentment in her chest by sobbing for a long time.
Let’s cry to our heart’s content now.
Because I didn’t have to worry about getting caught by anyone.
The 12 battlefield is a symbol of strength.
It was a being that received respect and awe from the knights of the Elf country. She was an Ardena with pride and responsibility for being a warrior commander, so she didn’t try to show weakness to anyone.
* * *
A knight from the Kingdom of Valois said.
『As of today, I will put an end to tyranny.』
He fought valiantly
He did not back down against the infamous demons, and went on to defeat even the most powerful demons from the Holy Empire to the point of being nicknamed.
He finally arrived at the Demon Castle.
But he had to lose many of his colleagues. Because he ran only looking ahead, because he did not take care of his fallen colleagues. In the end, his comrades were sacrificed like consumables by playing with the desire of a stupid human who wanted to become a demon king slayer.
‘You bastard abandoned me and us!’
‘What is a demon king slayer! What a hero! You are nothing more than a piece of scum who took glory by stepping on the corpses of his comrades!’
‘Remember. The name of that Demon King Slayer. Is that a glorious name? No, that’s our curse. Remember the atrocities of you who neglected us like expendable items while being praised by the people as a demon slayer.’
The ghosts swarmed.
The ghosts who lost their blood and flesh groped Yushin’s body.
It was cold and damp. It was the touch of death. It was a curse that the dead who died miserably seduced the living to death.
Their hands gripped his neck. I felt a strong force as if I was going to strangle him like this. It was difficult to breathe. It was so painful. Is it because of guilt towards them, or is it because he is strangling his neck? Yushin had to be attacked on the neck while being surrounded by the dead and receiving all sorts of curses and curses.
“Haha, haha… !!”
Yushin opened his eyes.
I quickly raised my upper body.
Kicking off the futon, he gasped for breath like someone who had lost his mind.
He let out an unsightly scream. Recognizing that this was all a nightmare, Yushin wiped his face and swallowed his dried saliva. My throat was so dry. It was because I was constantly breaking out in a cold sweat while having a nightmare. So Yoo-shin gulped down the water on the table.
“I thought you’d calmed down a bit these days.”
Yushin got up from the bed with weak steps.
He pulled back the curtains that covered the windows like blackouts. Then, the bright moonlight shone down and brightly lit up the room that had been a place of nightmares.
Yushin’s body was revealed.
His body was in such a vicious state that it felt cute to say that he was full of scars. His whole body was plastered with vicious scars, of course, and the scars on his chest indicated that he had suffered a near-death wound.
“Brother, what’s going on!!”
Allen came in, banging the door open.
Yushin, who was naked, met his eyes. After confirming that Yushin was now topless, he hurriedly closed the door.
“Oh, clothes…. Dress…. Put some clothes on!!”
Allen shouted.
It must have been too stimulating exposure for a virgin from an aristocratic family, so Allen was ashamed as he thought hard about Yushin’s naked body in her mind.
“I’m dressed.”
“Ah Okay…. I’ll go in now… !”
Allen, her face flushed red, opened the door cautiously and entered.
It was full of the smell of sweat.
It was because Yushin was breaking out in a cold sweat while having a nightmare.
Yushin’s body odor filled the entire room. She took a deep breath as Allen put on her blissful expression. She felt the satisfaction of being a part of herself as the man’s body odor entered her lungs.
“I felt her brother’s mana tremble unsteadily,” She said. What happened? Who bullied you? I’ll scold you right away.”
“Are you going to destroy Santander Castle? .”
Contrary to the fact that Vilen Santander reported the whereabouts of Yusin Gilead to King Maherit and the Yetzira Council, Yusin was still staying in Santander Castle.
After committing haphazard, irresponsible, and ignorant acts in the royal castle of Maherit, Yushin returned to the castle of Santander and was reunited with his men. And after telling his subordinates what happened in the royal castle of Maherit, he announced his position to leave the Santander Forest to Vilen Santander.
“How are the preparations?”
“Everyone is getting ready. If I go this time, I don’t know when I’ll be back.”
Thanks to this, Santander Castle quickly became a sea of tears.
The elf maids who were lovers.
Gnostic soldiers under strict guidance.
And the residents of Santander who met while passing through the city were also greatly saddened to hear that Yushin’s men were leaving.
“How good is affinity? How can strangers who were strangers become so close in a month?”
“Well, I don’t know.”
Yushin and Allen, who have interpersonal problems, were questioned by their subordinates, who were wildly popular in Santander.
Thankfully, the process was easy.
This is because the Santander family voluntarily supported the supplies needed for long-term movement.
Yushin thought that Vilen, the head of the Santander family, would show a coercive attitude, saying that he could not release the slaves, which were the property of the family. But for some reason, he readily accepted Yushin’s request. I don’t know what kind of change of heart occurred. But what we can know for sure is that Leticia, the daughter of the Santander family, earnestly persuaded her father.
“Allen, turn on the light.”
“Okay.”
Allen clicked on the string.
Then the lamp came on and the room that had been bathed in moonlight was brightly lit.
Yushin opened the map that was on the table. Then Allen approached her, tilting her head. Looking at her side view of Yushin, who was contemplating while staring at her map, her face blushed.
“I will leave Santander before the sun rises. Taking advantage of the twilight at dawn, we head west.”
“But why west? You have to go east to go back to the kingdom of Valois. If you are going to another foreign country, you have to cross the northern sea.”
“If you arrive in the western area of the Liberia Peninsula, you can avoid all the annoying chases.”
The western part of the Liberia Peninsula is a dangerous area classified as ‘unexplored’.
The Elves attempted to make the Liberia Peninsula their domain through several conquests. However, even after hundreds of years, there were still forces that refused to rule the elves. The place teeming with those powers was a space called the unexplored area.
“I heard from a red-haired high elf. They say there are dragons in the unexplored lands.”
“Why are you afraid of dragons?”
“No. I want to catch it soon.”
“I also once hunted dragons with my subordinates.”
Subordinates.
After muttering that, Yushin clenched her fists while letting out a mocking laugh.
I thought of my old subordinates, those who left their homeland to fight on the front but never returned to their homeland.
His face was distorted in pain of losing them.
============================
The daughter of the Santander family,
Lesitia Santander.
Among the heroines in the work, she ranks second in big breasts (E cup).
Ardena is barely a D cup.
