Chapter 409 – Worries and Resolutions (5)
──Love is blind.
It was not until today that Veronica truly understood the proverb that didn’t even seem like the proverb that she had heard from ear to ear.
She knew it was an emotion she couldn’t control, but until today, it may have been triggered only in a positive way. With her head turned, she subtly rolled her eyes, and her white-haired beauty was doing something similar to her.
She was so eye catching. -Wack! Veronica and Tyrsi looked at each other as if competing to see who came first.
“Kuhm.”
“Eh-hum.”
It is awkward. There’s nothing to say about being awkward.
‘No, what kind of relationship were we originally in the beginning… ?’
Veronica rubbed her stomach and sighed.
She only changed her face while helping Haeju, but it wasn’t that deep. However, it wouldn’t have been a relationship that was uncomfortable with this suffocating silence.
How did this happen? After thinking about it, the answer came out easier than I thought.
After all, it is jealousy.
Feeling pathetic, Veronica shook her head. Am I in a position to dare to be jealous?
The heroine of the novel she had bought in Romania had said that it was her wife’s right, but by that logic Franc would have the right to eyeball all her wives.
But she had never shown anything like that.
So, out of respect for that broad heart, the wives, starting with Dana, took a step back——but Tyrsi was the first person to come closer than that “One step”.
Thinking that far, Veronica smiled bitterly at the thought that it was an expression that translated the phrase of the novel as it is.
‘It’s my job, but it’s really easy to be influenced.’
One of the books she bought in Romania was a sex play for adults.
Veronica didn’t realize it because she didn’t have sex scenes until she was in her 30s, and her sales staff sold her book without a doubt because of the mature woman’s sexiness that emanated from her.
As it was written for adults in relatively open Romania, the contents were quite muddy.
Even Veronica noticed that it was more exaggerated than reality for the fun of her play.
But, in the same way, it is not that rare to hear that a single book can change one’s way of thinking.
Veronica was all about the oral traditions of the gods and the ancients.
The immersion and impact of the stimulating love affair drama she designed to satisfy readers accustomed to her spiciness—in other words, her final drama—was enormous.
An ordeal that came to a loving couple.
A concubine who fell in love with her husband. A husband attracted to her concubine.
Her love affair with her husband who is distracted by her concubine and breaking her promise to the rest of her wife and her wife who is so alienated feel the sadness and jealousy are written in detail.
It can’t be like this. This is an exaggeration.
Even thinking so, I couldn’t ignore the terrifying fear.
If he had more wives than he had now, how many more chances would she have that she and Nord could laugh and play together like the last time?
And, rather than a wife who takes a glance at a book during a date, wouldn’t he be more affectionate and attracted to a woman who skillfully lifts his heart? She is like the concubine of the love affair.
In conclusion, lack of confidence is the cause.
Because she had no confidence in being loved unwaveringly, it was a fit of wariness. Even if it’s jealousy, it’s true to some extent.
“Ugh…”
Veronica rubbed her face in embarrassment.
Now, she was not much different from the kid who listened to the bard’s heroic story and named the legendary sword on a tree branch.
The problem is that even though the kid is not a legendary hero, he has the skills of a first-class swordsman. If Veronica continued to be straight and use her swarm, Tyr would also have to pay a lot of toil.
Besides, how much of a burden it would be for Tirsi, who is being attacked by her, from her point of view.
When she became her wife, she didn’t give the same notice that Fran and Dana just did. Does she mean that she doesn’t want to give up her own seat, while she has easily taken the seat next to him and narrowed the seats for them?
Veronica said she couldn’t bear it because she was pathetic about herself.
It was the result of an unbalanced intertwining of her immature knowledge of human society with her inappropriately matured wisdom or personality. Veronica fell on the table like a sinking ship.
Of course, it wasn’t long before she understood the meaning of her joke about her ona hall, and she found herself writhing in her shame on her bed in her own room.
For humans, the period of gale-force rage that occurs around the age of 15 has come a little late.
Veronica didn’t realize her condition, she said.
“… My love said to Lalilura. As for her wife, she’ll take four or five.”
“Four or five people? Are you asking for that much more?”
If so, wouldn’t there be enough hope for me too?
Without realizing it, Tyrsi’s face brightened. She does not know under what conditions she chooses her wife, but if she has at most five seats left, she will get one.
“… No, judging from the way she speaks, she is ‘up to’ five.”
“… …”
Her drop was as great as she had hoped. Her brightened face turned to death in an instant, and Tyrsi munched her lips.
Seeing that she said 4 or 5 people, she probably meant that she could be satisfied with 4 people. Then, is there any possibility that he who seems happy even now will choose him? It was hard to imagine that he had the charm or advantage to deserve it.
I don’t know all of the circumstances, but the growth of the Nords that I hear about in rumors is quite steep.
If things went on like this, it wouldn’t be strange if marriage talks came from a noble family. Of course, they were sent for political reasons, like the 3rd and 4th daughters, but there must be some who are beautiful and have good personalities.
If so, she will never be his wife herself.
Thinking that way, Tirshi smiled bitterly at the thought, ‘Now she’s rolling her head that way openly.’
Are you saying that it’s been a while since the two of you had a conversation that day and realized your love? If she ever let him know what she was really thinking, she might die of shame.
‘It doesn’t seem like he doesn’t know at all…’
Tirthy could hold back a sigh, but she collapsed on the table in despair.
Well, it’s even weirder that I don’t know when I vote like that.
She doesn’t show anything on the outside, so honestly, it’s a bit long, but if she knows what she thinks and pretends not to know, isn’t this a euphemism for rejection?
The two beauties with severe lack of self-confidence were banging their heads together on the table, then raised their heads and met eyes.
Subtle boundaries and vague jealousy.
And a funny bond.
They laughed at the thought of me and her being the same.
“What… Speaking from me, I don’t think there’s any reason to end up with only four or five people.”
Veronica said, feeling a little less awkward at that time.
“Isn’t it normal for human queens and queens to have weddings? Depending on the rank, increase or increase the number of women. If so, it is true that there is no reason why you should be inferior to the king of men.”
“Is that so?”
Tirshi opened her mouth at her heartfelt words.
It’s easy to forget because of her beautiful beauty that hides her horns, but Veronica wasn’t a human like Tyrsi. She had a rough idea of her situation because Tyr Si was in the place where she was talking about the curse.
But is there any reason not to be better than the king?
That meant that Veronica believed that the Nords were more dignified than the king, or that they would be just as great in the future.
Of course, that was also surprising, but Tirshi hesitated because he wanted to ask just this.
“… Then why did you do that before?”
“That, that and this are a bit different.”
Veronica mumbled her answer differently than when she didn’t doubt Nangun’s greatness with her fresh face.
“I… We have no intention of rejecting even if you, my dear, take in a new woman. It’s not that I won his heart, it’s that he accepted mine.”
Tirshi urged his words with only her eyes, without speaking. The look in her eyes turned Veronica’s head back.
“Yeah, but! If you do it openly in front of your eyes, I can’t help but feel impatience or jealousy! All the more so since you and I are not on an equal footing!”
“I understand! I totally understand!!”
It was Tirsi who nodded her head, remembering the time when Lari Lura had been beaten right in front of her eyes.
“Ugh. Anyway, wives are close to each other, so they can show understanding well, but this time I was bad too. I’ll admit, she didn’t think of the tadpole enemy and acted clumsily.”
She hid the reason she was sold because of the book, but Tirshi sighed again at such an answer.
“The length of time I’ve known is similar to that of Miss Francesca… Whoa…”
Wouldn’t this have happened if she had known him closely instead of keeping her distance from then on?
No, at least if he hadn’t been blinded by the guise of being an honorary aristocrat, he would have been able to go further while being invited to a housewarming party. That would have made her more friends with the other wives.
‘It looks like Ralilura still wants to monopolize it a bit more… I wonder if I have no choice but to wait right now.’
Tircy had thus set her course, but she had forgotten something.
She knew that even before that long-winded plan was realized, there were several cut-offs that she couldn’t even call cut-offs.
Veronica winced at her sigh and she protested.
“But you are also at fault. You so… Well, even if I didn’t seduce you skillfully! I wouldn’t have been as excited.”
“Temptation?! Me?!”
It’s a golden age. It is Honbibaeksan.
“Yes! Do you know how it was in my case?! When do you say now? Is it now? It was just walking around like a feral cat wanting to be chosen by the owner! On the other hand, Tyrsi, what about you! Aren’t you at the level of putting a leash in your mouth and rubbing your face against my you!!”
─Thump! With her not even breathing, Veronica hit her table.
“Are you going to hand over control of your body to my you? What kind of nonsense is that! Is it lack of imagination?! Are you brave because you are ignorant?! That’s a very virgin-like recklessness!!”
“Sue, a virgin?! Why am I a virgin!!”
“Ay! Don’t come any closer! The virgin smell vibrates!”
Veronica fanned her hand as she pulled her chair behind her. It was true. That person, no, that bicorn, could tell just by looking at a person’s virginity. Tyrsi felt the back of her neck sore.
But why should I be treated like this for being chaste?
Even her friend from the same school of alchemy made fun of her for a similar reason, so she exploded with resentment.
“Ah yes!! That’s right!! It seems that Mr. Veronica has given up on her virginity!! He says that the curse hasn’t been lifted and he walks around in his original form, but when he returns to his hometown in that form, the family members will notice and look at him with lukewarm eyes, saying, ‘Oh, he did this?’
“Aaaaah?!
Veronica squealed and plugged her ears at the sight so easily imaginable. She has the wisdom to brilliantly stab an enemy’s vitals with small clues. She was truly the model of a wizard.
“I’m not going back!! I won’t return to my hometown until the curse is lifted!! No, I can’t go back!!”
Veronica plugged her ears and brushed her hair. As if if she did that, she would do it even if the facts that Tyrsi had hit her were thrown out of her head.
Are you blindly aware of the existence and timing of your experiences by your neighbors you have known for a long time? Just imagining it made her heart shred. If she was treated with strange kindness, she might write a will with her wealth that day.
“My, my situation is fine!! Anyway, I will go in the direction of excluding control as much as possible, so keep that in mind!!”
Veronica, who was terrified, couldn’t find a way in the end, and she cried and pointed.
“If you make something like that, you are also the headmistress who steals your body!! Do you want to turn over like a bitch with one of his gestures?! My lover is, over, over, extreme with his woman!!”
“Wow, that’s extreme?! Really?!”
“Surprised?! Would you be surprised?! That is the limit of a virgin, foolishness!!”
“Kyaahahhhhh !!!! Also, she said she was a virgin——!!!!”
Tyrsi thought with her thin remaining reason. I’m glad this lab is well soundproofed.
“Whoa, whoa… !!”
“Haha… !!”
While making such a fuss, they exhaled heavily and clashed sharp eyes before discovering the flames still dancing on the ceiling. It was almost simultaneous this time.
The heat hit her agitated body and made her forget the season, but when she saw the group of sparks, she felt her head cool.
“… She asked me to cooperate and not fight.”
“… It was.”
“… Let’s start research.”
“… Yes. Let’s start.”
They sighed heavily and sat down.
Due to various circumstances, the seats they were sitting at were so far away that they didn’t seem intimate, but the awkwardness from before was no longer visible even after washing my eyes.
─Fallang.
Tirsi read her research, which Veronica had blown away silently, then looked at the empty seat with a little apprehension.
“By the way, Nord is very late. There’s nothing wrong, right?”
“What? It must take time to find the tea leaves.”
… Right?
Tirsi felt some uneasiness in her, but she didn’t think deeply and she focused on her studies again.
Doesn’t matter where he went. If he had time to worry unnecessarily, he thought, it would make him more happy if he immersed himself in his research and produced results quickly.
In this way, the two wizards somehow confided in their hearts and formed a relationship of sincere cooperation.
It’s a samurai, but it was 30 minutes after that when Nord returned.
