Chapter 169 – Crossed Minds (2)
…… Essilie’s crying continued for a long time after that.
It was as if he were vomiting out all the resentment he had been holding inside.
I took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his eyes. Then she steps back and looks up at Theorard with a rather pouty face.
The water in her eyes her resembling lapis lazuli remained the same, but her expression her brightened a lot.
One is inaccurate and unnatural. In order not to make the other person suffer, he must be acting with a bright face on purpose. Because Emily was such a woman.
“You really do too much……. You promised that you would come back safely.”
“That’s funny. Do I look hurt?”
“Of course.”
Theorard was taken back by the straightforward answer. It was because she was embarrassed because she wondered if she knew that she was surrounded by assassins and shot with arrows.
Theorard hurriedly inspected his clothes on her, but there was no trace of his blood on her. She couldn’t have noticed anything strange in the first place, since she was wearing the clothes Benelia had given her.
What on earth do you see to convince me that I’m hurt? Raising her doubtful gaze, Theo Rad realized that Esily’s eyes were staring straight into her face.
“Sir Theorard. I’m not stupid. Your face color has changed a lot. It’s like you’ve suffered for a long time.”
“…… Ashley.”
“Stop lying. I am betrothed to Sir Theorard. So…… I think you deserve to hear the grievances of the person who will become your wife.”
The determined eyes make you sigh. He pointed to the table that Theorard had placed in the center of the living room, thinking he couldn’t help it.
“Sit down for now. You’re too tired to stand and talk. Esily, your shoes are over there.”
“Ah. That, that would be nice.”
Seely, her cheeks slightly heat up as if she felt her shame belatedly. As he turned around and walked towards the table, Sili put his shoes back on to clear his voice her.
Afterwards, he gives orders to the servants guarding the surroundings in a soft tone. The gist of the order was to ask them to leave because they wanted to talk alone.
She really is a smart and smart woman. Theorard laughed softly and moved slowly to sit in the chair opposite. While checking her dress her, Seely sits down next to her.
“Now tell me. Ever since Sir Theorard ascended the Mage Tower…… What happened?”
The staring gaze is burdensome. Of course, I wouldn’t ask this question out of curiosity.
‘You’re trying to comfort me.’
By listening to Theo Rad, Essilli was trying to share the fear and terror that Theo Rad felt.
Her good intentions her seemed to be felt, but unfortunately, Theo Rad had no intention of telling Esily the right way. Let me tell you that she was killed by an arrow, because she herself was not even as good as her little boy.
So even if she did n’t say it now, she decided to tell only the truth about her that she would know her someday.
“I was raided,” She said. An elf saved my life in the process.”
Essili’s fingers her twitched subtly at the words that the elf had saved her life her. An uneasy linger arises on her face as she tries to smile.
It was something she expected to some extent, but it was because she did not find it easy to accept.
Through Roylen, Eshley heard that the elf had fallen into a “Quarantine night,” And that Theo Rad was administering treatment in her makeshift hospital room to her.
At first she did not understand why the mighty elf was placed in the isolated Night Phenomenon. However, after hearing Theorad’s words, everything became clear.
‘…… I stepped into the forbidden realm to save Theorad.’
The elf tried to save Theo Rad even by risking his death. That came to Esily as an unanswered question.
Aren’t elves evil? I thought he was just a villain playing with Theo Rad for his own fun.
‘But why…….’
He could not define the existence of risking his life his to save people as evil. Apart from hating elves, this was an undeniable truth.
In addition, the elf saved Theorad, not anyone else. The fact that an elf saved someone he loved comes as a utter confusion.
If he was going to risk his own life to save Theo Rad, why did he bother Theo Rad so badly?
It was a conundrum that was impossible to solve for Essilie, who did not know what was going on inside.
I wanted to ask, but… It was unlikely that Theorard would say more than this.
So you can only see As Esily was hesitating, Theorard opened her mouth apologetically.
“Esley. I’m sorry but….”
Essilie’s body her froze in anticipation of what was to be said next. She wished he hadn’t spoken, but Theo Rad only moved his mouth nonchalantly.
“I want you to stop digging behind elves. Neither you nor me, it is no longer necessary.”
“Ah…”
A faint voice comes out. For some reason, it was difficult to see Theorard’s face her. As she lowered her head, the back of Shili’s hand her trembled.
It was only for Theorad’s sake that he spent a lot of money to dig up the elf’s back. It was also for Theorad’s sake that he brought his brother his, who had become the leader of the rebels, into politics.
Holding her hand her with her princess her, Benelia, and working hard to become the head of the Pelgarin family…….
Only for you, Theorard.
However, Theorard denied Esily’s efforts head-on. Now, it was decided that elves were no longer dangerous and that they were no longer harmful.
We don’t know exactly what happened between the elf and Theorad. As Theorard was seduced by the elf, he knew he wasn’t talking like this.
Even so, Shili felt her unknown frustration her overwhelm her mind her. She was not driven by her feelings that all her efforts her had been for naught.
The source of Essilly’s frustration was close to anxiety. It made me very anxious that Theorard would no longer see the elves as evil.
‘I don’t want to doubt it. And yet…….’
Wouldn’t Theorard fall in love with the elf? Wouldn’t her love blind Theo Rad’s eyes so that she would n’t be able to look this way?
Could it be that I am no longer loved by Theorard?
‘It can’t be.’
I denied it inwardly, but my heart did not calm down. Eshley, who had squeezed the hem of her skirt under her table, tried to lift her head up with a smile on her face.
“Yes. I will let you do that.”
I didn’t want to show Theorard an ugly side. She did not want to reveal herself to be jealous of the elves.
Theorard then looked at Seeley and nodded her head. It could be seen that she was hiding something, but she had no intention of prying out what she wanted to hide.
“Thank you. But is everything going on in her hometown her?”
“…… Hometown?”
“Okay. Those who deliberately moved to kill me may have invaded the mansion with the intention of destroying the gate. Did any of the family members of the mansion suffer any damage?”
“That…”
Ashley recalled the situation at the time. Suddenly, in the late evening, the family members of the Deharm Mansion, including the chief chamberlain, had invaded.
Seely, who happened to be out in the air in the castle courtyard, Harvey hurriedly ran up to Seely and threw him down on his knees.
─ Esily Hey, young lady! Please, please give up the military! The mansion, Bainen, he’s in danger!
The pale blue complexion of the old man was miserable. It was unusual for Essili to make a request while shedding tears, and he immediately summoned the nearby knights.
Afterwards, Esily climbed the horse and commanded twenty knights into the Deharm Mansion, and Esily couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
It was because the masked killers were all covered in blood. The one who seemed to be their leader was also only spurting blood with his throat cut.
In the center of the tomb-like space, Bainnon, covered in blood, was sleeping peacefully with her sword stuck in the floor, her head her buried in the sword’s pommel.
Esily got off her horse and confirmed whether Bainen was alive or dead. Thankfully, Bainen was still breathing. It’s thin as if it’s about to break, but it’s sure.
– Alive! You must return to the castle and heal!
Eshili, who completed simple first aid including hemostasis, helped her Beynon herself and mounted her on her horse. After returning to the castle, Esily called the doctor and asked for treatment for Bainen.
A lengthy operation followed, but Essili doesn’t know what happened to Beinen. It was because after some time, a secret letter with the contents of ‘Theorard was attacked’ arrived.
Immediately he arrived here via the warp gate, so he didn’t know what to say to Theo Rad.
“…….”
The prolonged silence amplifies anxiety. Theorard, who fully understood Esily’s feelings about her, carefully asked.
“Are there any dead people?”
Esily shook her head. He’s actually never even seen a dead person, and if it’s Bey Nun…… He thought that Bainnon, who had risked his life for her for his lord her, would be able to survive his surgery and keep her alive.
He also didn’t want to make it any harder for Theorard, who he would have suffered badly for.
“…… No one is dead.”
Esily’s answer made Theorard smile.
“Good thing. I’m so glad…….”
Theorard’s eyes slowly closed as he spoke. His body his, unable to overcome his fatigue, was about to collapse. Theorard, who managed to come to his senses before he leaned over, deliberately blinked his eyes.
Emily, who felt sorry for her appearance of her, smiled awkwardly.
“I’m sorry.”
“Uh, huh? What do you mean?”
“I must have been tired shortly after finishing the quarantine night treatment, but I had a conversation with my greed. You better go in and get some sleep.”
Theorard didn’t deny it. Because he felt that his body had reached its limit. Theorard got up from his seat with a wry smile.
“Thank you for understanding. Let’s share the unfinished story tomorrow.”
“Yes. Come on in.”
Nodding his head, Theo Rad leads his exhausted body his and disappears down the other side of the hallway. After watching her from the back for a while, Seeley turned her gaze to her.
Roylen, who came out of the hallway opposite her, wondering if her conversation was over, turned her head away, but she hesitated. It was because Esily was staring at me with open eyes.
“Professor Roylen.”
A cold voice sounds daunting. Her usual gentle and caring appearance of her was nowhere to be found, and the day she was featured in Today’s Story stood still.
“Please guide me to the elf’s hospital room.”
Esily’s orders made her break into a cold sweat. For what purpose did you intend to go to the hospital? Roylen, who was about to say no, changed her mind at her sudden thought of her.
Essilie Pelgarin is a figure being talked about as the next head of the Count Leoberg family, who has joined hands with Her Highness the Princess her. She was nothing more than a full professor at the Mage Tower, and she was not something she could do anything about.
“I will meet you.”
In the end, Roylen had no choice but to politely bow her head.
