Chapter 506 – Learning From Dragons II (2)
“You mean it sincerely.”
Lauren let out a long sigh.
“You really think so.”
She laughed dejectedly at what was so funny. Marey looked at her. It was Lauren who was looking at her again with a face that seemed to have no emotion, but Marai could tell. She was sad She didn’t know why, but she felt that way.
Lauren let out a small sigh. She then took another wine glass out of the air and filled it up. Then, unlike before, he emptied the glass straight away. Lauren laughed.
“What’s the point of talking about trivial things like this…?” . Mare de Parwen.”
“Yes, my lord…”
“You are inheriting the warrior’s lineage.”
“I know.”
Lauren was obsessed with the name Hero. No, she was obsessed with the person called the hero. Even though it’s been a long time since she passed away, she carried the name that people commonly call her more heavily than anyone else.
Lauren lay back in her chair with her eyes closed. Marais looked at her wordlessly. Her chest lifted lightly enough to make her think that she was asleep, and then she sat down again and again, then she smiled self-deprecatingly at what was so funny, then opened her eyes. She looked at Marey again.
“Come here.”
“…Yes.”
Marey approached Lauren reluctantly. She smelled strongly of wine.
“More.”
I took one step forward. It was a distance where each eyelash of Lauren could be distinguished. The sweet smell of the wine she had just drenched her mouth came from her body.
“Closer.”
I took another step forward. A sparkling amethyst filigree was visible in her earrings. She was looking at Marey with her head tilted slightly. Each of her light breaths smelled of strong alcohol.
“More, come closer.”
I narrowed the distance that was not long. Marey couldn’t approach it any longer, and at a distance where her skin seemed to touch her, Lauren just stared at Marey’s face. Even though I didn’t drink a few sips, I felt like I was going to get drunk without realizing it.
“Really… Really… It looks like he’s back… Just like when we first met…”
Lauren sluggishly reached out her hand. He felt the soft touch of a silk glove on his cheek. The touch of the ring Lauren was wearing, containing the warmth between the careful touches on her cheeks, made Marey almost sigh involuntarily.
“I, like that… Do you look alike?”
Lauren nodded her head. She grabbed her Marey by the chin and moved her from side to side. As if she wanted to confirm something, Marais couldn’t resist the sad gaze of her.
“First… When she met him, he was still a boy. Yes, he was the same age as you.”
You are a little young. I’m not sure if they’re the same height. Lauren relaxed her hand. Marei didn’t even step back from her, she saw the dragon that was dreaming of her as it was in that position. She leaned back in her chair with her eyes closed as if imagining something.
“It was autumn. You were holding a sword. The opponents were kobolds. I was on the move with the merchants. Perhaps because the road was not well maintained, the wheels of the wagon were a little damaged. The leather roof of the wagon must have been recently made, so it smelled like oil.”
Lauren recalled the time, the place that Marey didn’t know.
“There was a bloody smell from the kobold’s corpse, but the smell of oil was stronger. He was wearing crude leather armor. It was cowhide. His black hair, which was drenched in sweat, was flying…”
Lauren’s voice started to fade. Marei stood in her daze and looked at her. Unlike usual, she looked very defenseless. Marey approached her as if possessed by something in her.
One step, one step. Again, the distance where eyelashes are distinguished one by one. Distance of breath. The distance where the flesh touches. Marei reached out her hand involuntarily. Tears welled up in Lauren’s eyes. Just before her sluggish hand could reach her, Lauren opened her eyes.
“Warrior… ?”
A very thin voice came out of Lauren’s mouth. She resembled Ravela’s voice, but had a different voice. It wasn’t the usual low, clear voice.
“…You are. No, you are Marey.”
Lauren grabbed Marey’s wrist. She pulled Marey slowly. Marey stumbled over her and fell into her arms. Lauren said nothing.
Marais hugged her and raised her head to look at Lauren. Buried into her breasts, her cheeks are gently pressed against the soft flesh that smells good.
Lauren naturally pulled her body up while holding Marey in her arms. Her natural instinct to follow her Lauren in front of her throne led Marei to raise her body, still buried in her chest. Lauren puts her arms around Marey’s shoulders without saying anything.
It resembled the hugs of the big breasted elf teachers at home, but it felt completely different. Feeling the distance between her and Lauren, who felt so far away even though her skin was touching her, Marei carefully hugged her around the waist as if clinging to her without realizing it.
The strength of her arms, felt in the back of her neck, was as stubborn as a child bullied by her parents.
“Do you want to have me?”
“…Yes?”
Marei involuntarily took a step back from her. Lauren’s arm was letting go of Marey. Recalling the vivid touch of her cheeks and the nape of her neck, Marei asked involuntarily.
“Ro, Lauren? Bar, what did you just say?”
“What did I say?”
“That’s it…”
Marey pursed her lips. Could it be that what she just heard was an illusion. Lauren said she was watching Marey as if nothing had happened. No, she could have been hearing hallucinations herself. Marey tried to read Lauren’s expression in her eyes. But she didn’t know. She wasn’t a warrior herself, and she couldn’t have said that to Lauren. Marais had no choice but to dismiss it as hallucinations of her dissatisfaction.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been excited.”
Lauren suddenly brought up another story.
“Did Ravela teach you her dance?”
“Yes? Oh, a little… I’ve learned She doesn’t show it to others…”
Lauren casually held Marey’s hand. The feeling that her fingers, which are much taller and thinner than her own, presses on the back of her hand, and Marei flinches involuntarily.
“Think of it as moving naturally. The flow is important, so don’t think about your moves, look at your opponent. It can be a bit slow, but the beat is constant. You just have to follow as they lead. Don’t be nervous and follow me.”
Marey looked blankly at Lauren. She looked happy The expression on her face in her dreams was so beautiful that Marei stared blankly at her without realizing it.
“Hurry.”
“Yes, four… !”
Following Lauren’s movements, Marey moved her steps slowly. Her gait was full of confidence, but she was unpredictable. Following her unruly moves, Marei cautiously moved her steps.
Her steps twisted and she seemed about to collapse at any moment, but somehow Maray managed to move in line with Lauren. As she staggered like that, she followed what could hardly be called a dance, and she suddenly thought that the one who seemed about to fall at any second might not be herself, but Lauren.
“A little more naturally, so as not to fall, look ahead, not under your feet. If you see and react, you will always fall behind. Think of walking side by side. Place your hand gently on your waist. Like that.”
Following Lauren’s words, she mustered up her courage and raised her head. She was gently looking down at Lauren. Her emotions fluctuated in her purple eyes, and Marei looked at her as if she were also bewitched. She was looking down at her with an all-too-familiar, yet unconscious, feeling of disgust rising from her.
“Do you want to marry Asmos’s daughter?”
“Yes… ? Oh, I don’t know yet.”
Marriage, she had no choice but to answer as it was, as Marei had never thought about it yet. It was a very heavy story for the boy who was just thinking that he wanted to be happy with everyone like he is now, and was ignoring the fact that he had to choose someone first.
“I never thought I’d feel this way, but I’m ashamed to say it.”
Lauren let out a small sigh. And as if her previous expression was a lie, she turned coldly and looked down at herself.
“I don’t care if the first one is a label.”
Lauren said so. Marey stood firm at her unexpected answer. Her Lauren’s hand tugged at her Marey. She stumbled a few times and then she continued her dance to her pace.
“What are you talking about…”
“From the beginning, you were planning to stick with Labella. Although the story was complicated because he adopted you without consulting me. Hate labella? She resembles me, she has a smooth complexion, and as a true wife, she should have no shortage. If you want, she’ll make you the head of the household, because Ravel isn’t particularly interested in being the head of the household.”
Lauren said it casually, she spoke so calmly.
“What do you mean by that…”
“It seems like you won’t run away if you talk directly. Jeongsil is Ravella. She personally wishes she hadn’t taken concubines, but she told me a strange story that the more her family the better. Her concubine is her family… Well, that’s your story, so I won’t interfere.”
It was sudden. It was so sudden.
“Ravel also said that she wished it was you. It would be natural.”
Like the warrior and me. Lauren added.
“…How long have you known me?”
“From the beginning. Before she got into that little town where Marie didn’t know anyone who knew her. Did you think I wouldn’t know The environment you lived in, the people who took care of you, I knew everything. Originally, I was planning to call in my year. Labella, she is also negligent towards you because the child behaved unrestrainedly.”
Marey looked at the woman in front of her eyes. No, she saw a dragon. Her eyes were full of her drunkenness and she wasn’t the way she used to look warmly at herself. She was looking at herself with numb, unfeeling eyes, like a god looking down on everything.
“…Why did you say that about her mother?”
“I hated Marie. It could be because of Lilith. Or maybe it’s because she’s Ran’s apprentice. There was also something related to Ravela’s education. If you list them one by one, there will be an endless story. It wasn’t just one or two things that caused a problem with the child. We didn’t fit and we had to keep bumping into each other. When I saw you with Ran, I couldn’t hold back my anger. This is not what I was growing up for. I apologize, Mareid Parwen.”
I can’t even feel sorry. It just seemed like she was apologizing because it was necessary. Marai felt goosebumps running through her body at her twisted aura. She didn’t even know how to move.
“Labella… What do you mean by marrying me? I do not know.”
“You, Rabela, and the hero’s bloodline, wouldn’t it be desirable to become one?”
At Lauren’s words, Marey trembled involuntarily. In her words, she was asleep beyond what she could have imagined. Is it obsession or madness? The emotions that were so turbid were so thick that I couldn’t breathe.
“I am… Do you have any reason to marry Labella?”
“Of course.”
Lauren nodded her head as if it were natural.
“Because I want that to happen.”
She laughed, seemingly amused.
