Chapter 190 – 190. Migration to Duchy
The fainting body of Eleanor was stained with sweat and her own whitish liquid.
I brought her silver tissue and wiped Eleanor’s body spread on the bed, put her pillow on her head and covered her with the blanket.
“Whoa…”
After releasing a lot of sense of ejaculation from the two women, Eun-hyun, who was tired after a long time, sat down on her chair and let out a sigh.
Eunhyeon wasn’t the only one who was tired.
“Haa~ It’s been really hard for the first time in a while.”
She sat down on Eunhyun’s legs and looked at Illyana’s profile with a satisfied smile. Eunhyun smiled bitterly at her and hugged her tightly around her waist to keep her from falling to her side.
“Thank you.”
“What?”
“For allowing Eleanor.”
“What is new?”
Illyana smiled and turned her body at an angle and took the form of sitting on Eunhyun’s legs and facing him.
“Just… Let’s live like this for a long long time we. This time, I will also have a child.”
“… I will try.”
Eunhyeon smiled bitterly at her and nodded her head.
The two of them hugged each other tightly, sniffing each other’s skin and smelling each other.
[… How long will you hold me?]
“Huh?”
“Ah.”
The two people who shared a lot of affection at the woman’s voice that came directly to their heads stared into the air at the same time.
“Uh…”
Aware of the existence floating in the air in the form of a semi-transparent spirit body with impressive blonde hair and neatly braided hair, Illyana couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
[I came down after it was over… Are you sure you want to do it again?]
For some reason, Belldandy had a slightly dissatisfied expression.
Haha. It’s not like that.”
She narrowed her eyes and saw the face of the goddess glaring at her, and Eun-hyeon replied with a wry smile on her face.
“Hyun-ah, this person can’t be…”
“Huh. Greetings. She is the goddess I serve.”
“…”
Illyana raised her body from sitting on her eunhyeon’s legs, and she slowly approached the floating Belldandi, bowed her waist, and began to greet her politely.
She is clearly different from the arrogant and imposing appearance she showed even in front of Queen Diane, who is now the highest authority in Pernin.
“Nice to see you.”
[… Okay.]
Illyana lowered her head and thought, unable to hide her embarrassment.
‘As Eleanor said…’
The first thing that catches her eye is the bust of the goddess, and she won’t leave her mind.
‘You’re so big…’
◆ ◆ ◆
“Hey, Hyuna, there’s no need for me to follow you…”
“You asked for it yourself.”
“It is, but…”
Erin couldn’t erase her confused expression.
The place Eunhyeon brought Erin to was a shabby building in the center of the slum area, which was used by the Heilangdan.
The thugs who remembered the faces of Eunhyeon and Erin, each of whom had brought Emilia here once, were either frightened or looked at the two with wary eyes.
Eventually, when the owner of this building, the head of the Heilangdan, opened the door and entered the office, Runan, who was in the room, saw Eunhyeon’s face and made an expression that he had come.
“… You are here.”
“Okay. Must have been waiting and…”
Eun-hyeon glanced at her and looked at Lana, a woman who was a beast next to Runan, and Lana twitched her shoulders slightly.
Seeing Lana’s demeanor of her avoiding her own gaze, Eun-hyeon repeated her words.
“Is that the prisoner woman the one who tried to lay her hand on my child?”
“…”
“Yes.”
Instead of Lana who couldn’t hide her resentment and clenched her teeth, Lunan answered Eunhyun’s question with her hard face.
“How are we?”
Runan guessed that the reason Eunhyeon came was to decide their treatment.
He knew that Avros had entrusted the treatment of Heilangdan, who had contributed to the plot to bring down the ducal family, to Eun-hyeon, who had joined as the son-in-law of the ducal family, and at this moment, the future of himself and his subordinates depended on Eun-hyeon’s words.
“First of all, I will suggest what my child asked for.”
“… Is that girl?”
Runan glanced at Erin standing next to Eunhyeon and asked.
“The orphans being raised in this Heilangdan. Give it all to me.”
“… ! What!”
Thud
As Lana reacted in anger to Eun-hyeon’s proposal, which was almost an incomprehensible order, Erin came out in front of her and kicked the floor slightly.
“Nice… Eww…”
Looking at Erin’s face, Lana couldn’t hide her resentment and had to step back from her leader, Runan.
Erin’s emotional surrender, which she planted in Lana’s mind through her witchcraft, worked and once again gave Lana her sense of defeat.
It was as if a predator in the wild had met a higher predator and instinctively knew she couldn’t win and let her tail drop.
Lana could never resist Erin.
She tried to ambush Erin, and she is paying the price for her karma and her refusal to admit her own wrongdoing until the end.
“I think you are misunderstanding something. I’m not trying to do anything with those orphans, I’m trying to protect them.”
“… Protection?”
“Okay. At our child’s request.”
“… ?”
She stared into Erin’s face, and she put on a look of disbelief.
Soon, Erin opened her mouth.
“I think you all deserve to be punished. But… The children who remained here are innocent. So I asked Hyuni and the duke. Please punish them so that they do not harm the orphaned children.”
“Well, that’s why the duke agreed, and all the orphans you took and raised here have been taken over by me.”
“… What are you trying to get your kids to do?”
“I could do anything better than you, who has been teaching young children how to kill other people by killing them.”
“No!”
Hearing Eunhyeon’s sarcasm, Lana, who had been intimidated, exclaimed in a huff.
“Eww… Ugh… !”
Even as Erin desperately resisted the surrender of her heart that Erin had set her on, Lana shouted to Eunhyeon as if she couldn’t stand this much.
“We are… We learned our skills because we wanted to help the leader ourselves. Captain, you didn’t force us!”
“I am not interested in that. Do you think you are the only ones whose lives have become this way because of circumstances in this world? If you’re going to defend yourself that way, Erin and Alvin have no reason to forgive you.”
These are the people who tried to kill or kidnap Ashton’s two siblings with money and money.
Lana, who had nothing to say, put on an angry expression.
“Lana, it’s okay. Now, if we try to defend ourselves, it’s no use. The author is not one to be shaken by such things, and he should not make excuses for the lives we have taken so far.”
“… Yes.”
“Return the story. Can you tell me specifically what you intend to do with the children?”
“I will move to the Duchy soon. We will create a facility there to take in children who have no place to go.”
“A facility?”
“Okay. At least, rather than having young children learn and grow up here, I intend to learn and grow up to contribute to the dukedom.”
“… Right.”
Runan nodded her head.
Certainly, these places are not suitable for raising orphans.
Having a place with a more proper environment and facilities is a great fortune for orphans who have no place to go and depend on daily food.
“Good night. I can put my mind at ease before I go.”
“And you guys have work to do.”
“… ?”
“Erin, wait outside.”
“Huh.”
Erin nodded her head and left the room.
When she glanced at Lana, Runan sent Lana outside, leaving only Eunhyeon and Runan in her room.
“You guys should be my eyes and ears from now on.”
“… What do you mean?”
“From now on, according to my order, gather information about ‘summoning demons’, ‘warlocks’, and ‘remnants of the empire’ and report them to me. I will cover the necessary expenses on my side.”
Eunhyeon took out several crystal balls from her arms and placed them in front of Runan’s desk.
“It’s an artifact for communication I made this time. Make sure you regularly listen to the reports of your subordinates, compile the information, and inform me.”
“… What is your intention Are you forgiving us?”
“Forgiveness?”
Eunhyun tilted her head.
“Why is this forgiven? It’s like a hand that doesn’t matter if you throw it away. It’s just something you use because it’s good for you and a good situation has been created for you to use it.”
“…”
“Gathering information about demons, warlocks, and the Empire is an important task that could cost you your life just by carrying out the mission. I can’t use anyone for this, and it’s extremely dangerous, so I can’t ask my people.”
In other words, while they had no value to Eunhyeon, Heilangdan, who could force Eunhyeon to work unilaterally and possessed an excellent ability to collect information, were really good people to use from Eunhyeon’s point of view.
“It’s already been approved by the Duke. You have no right to veto this order. If you refuse… Know?”
Then it really is death.
The difference between dying now, or living like Eun-hyun’s dog for the rest of his life, exposed to the threat of death while collecting information.
But it is also true that if he lives as his hound, he will be treated as well.
The beginning of the minimum condition for the treatment was to accept his orphaned children from the slums and to pay for the expenses necessary for collecting information.
Runaan couldn’t refuse this offer.
◆ ◆ ◆
“Right. It was a lot of trouble.”
“You’re welcome. Isn’t it thanks to the Duke’s permission? You must have been reluctant to keep them under me and use them as hunting dogs.”
Even though there was Ashton’s manipulation, Avros showed a calm reaction to the fact that he did not purify the group that tried to prank the duke’s family anyway.
“After hearing your story, how could I ever think of turning it down?”
Considering my personal feelings of wanting to collect all information related to demon summoning using Eunhyeon’s Heilangdan, it was a very reasonable proposal.
“But how do you plan to run a facility that will raise orphans? At your request, we have secured the land, but even if we can provide manpower and materials, it takes a lot of effort to find someone to manage the facility on a regular basis. I wouldn’t say you don’t know.”
“There is one person I can ask for. I plan to do the construction of the facility. I will pay for the materials needed for construction on my side.”
Eun-hyeon’s house built inside the Great Labyrinth of Archis was used for personal use, and the facilities to be built in the duchy were not for Eun-hyeon’s use, so it was impossible to procure building materials through the power of her goddess.
“There is one thing I would like to ask of you. I will pay him a fee as well.”
“Please?”
At Avros’ sudden suggestion, Eun-hyeon tilted her head and waited for his words to continue.
Upon hearing his proposal, Eun-hyeon smiled and nodded her head, readily accepting her proposal.
Two days later, Eunhyeon took Erin to the knight training ground of the Duke of Armitas.
A place where many knights who have sworn allegiance as knights of the duchy of Armitas, from those who have just graduated from Aether and have just become adults, to those who have served the duke for a long time, train.
When Eunhyeon and Erin appeared at the training ground in late winter when the chilly wind was blowing, the knights who were warming up in the morning training recognized the two and looked at them one by one.
Many knights glared at Eun-hyeon with brows wriggling or looking like what he was doing.
‘Wow, wow… The atmosphere is no joke…’
It was natural for Erin, who was standing in front of her podium, to have that suspicious, wary look on her face.
Even when Erin accepted that gaze, she unknowingly swallowed her saliva and put on a nervous expression.
At Eunhyun’s words to follow her, Erin followed without a doubt, but Erin became even more nervous because she couldn’t predict what the hell she was going to do here.
“Nice to meet you. Knights. My name is Eun-hyeon, who is planning to marry Eleanor soon.”
“What?”
“A guy like that? With my lady?”
“Is that bastard the guy?”
At Eun-hyeon’s sudden self-introduction, several knights turned on their eyes and started glaring at Eun-hyeon.
Most of the knights’ age range consisted of young people in their 20s and 30s, and there was no way they could take a good look at Eun-hyeon, who had stolen Eleanor, who was the object of longing for many knights and the flower of the duke’s family.
The origin of the reputation of ‘Flower of Pernin’ began among the knights of the duke’s family.
Even if he is the man who saved the kidnapped Eleanor, that feeling doesn’t change.
“And I am also the instructor who will oversee your training.”
Upon hearing Eunhyeon’s introduction, the knights did not respond.
He just glared at Eun-hyeon as if he was talking bullshit.
“Haha, the expressions of the knights saying, ‘Who are you to train us? It’s no wonder that I’m not convinced that I’m the instructor who will train you all out of nowhere.”
“…”
“So, to check your skills and to confirm my skills, shall we simply start with sparring?”
“… What?”
“Erin.”
“… It was this.”
Erin saw through Eunhyun’s intentions and let out a small sigh.
“You want a girl like this to engage in sparring? Are you ignoring us now?”
“No way, it can’t be.”
Eun-hyeon shrugged her shoulders and responded to the angry voice of a knight who irritated her.
“You will have to fight with this child from now on.”
‘Stop…’
Erin, who saw Eun-hyeon’s smiling face, shook her head as she looked at Eun-hyeon in her ominous thoughts.
‘Please stop.’
However, seeing Erin’s desperate yet silent expression on her face, Eunhyeon did not stop.
“Certainly you won’t lose to a girl who is a minor who dropped out of Aether, right? All of you are great knights who have sworn allegiance to the ducal family.”
“Ah… Ruined.”
Erin gave up her thoughts with her despairing look on her face.
Eun-hyeon’s act of fanning her knights to provoke their anger was not to train her knights.
Realizing that this was also Eun-hyeon’s only training method to forcibly grow herself, Erin cried out at her.
“Under! Good! Let’s do something! I want to immediately press down on such a child and punch him in the face! I can’t accept the marriage of my young lady with someone I don’t even know where she came from!”
A young knight exclaimed eagerly.
“That’s right! Besides, my young lady is not enough, even the black witch? What? Witch lover? Have you seen such an enviable son of a bitch! Whoever that bastard is, as a man, I can never forgive him!”
“Harem! Such an enviable bastard!”
A sense of kinship with him that he could not give Pernin’s flower to the sudden appearance of unknown origin spreads in an instant, and other knights show signs of sympathizing with his cry.
In the eyes of the knights, they were fiercely fighting with anger and jealousy against Eun-hyeon, who was planning to marry two famous beauties in the kingdom.
Seeing the knights, Eunhyeon looks satisfied.
“Erin. Do you know the ground? It’s a triple penalty.”
“… You’re not really human during training! Really bad! I hate you!”
A tear-stained Erin stood in front of the knights.
From the point of view of the knights, an irrational sparring began in front of a young girl who was crying, and even if they won, they would be on the side of the dog, and if they lost, they would be on the side of the dog.
