Return， Control， and Eat 224

Chapter 224 – Highwayman

“Me… Me and you?”
“Well, uh yeah.”
“You’re getting married? You’re not getting wedding invitations as guests?”
“Yes. Me and all of you.”
“…”

It is awkward. Even though I knew better than anyone that Wolf Dance would not hate it.

What should I have said When I told Jia, I only thought that I should take care of Jia, who is suffering from depression again. At that time, the idea of ​​getting married came naturally, and I wasn’t so embarrassed.

It’s a thing of the past anyway. I just told the truth without embellishment.

The wolf dance stiffened as if she did not understand what she had been told.

“I… Me and you… Something like me.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Ugh…”

– Poof! Hurry up!

“Hey, wolf dance! Where are you going!”

The Wolf Dancer stood still, then she suddenly turned around and ran away. It seems that he sprinted into the garage and entered the prepared vehicle. The sound of a car door opening and closing.

I hope you run away and hide.

I in vain lowered the hand I had reached out to grab the wolf dance.

“Why are you running away?”
“…Foot! Haha.”

I can’t bear to chase it, and I’m dumbfounded, but I hear laughter right behind me. Seda, who was watching my ugliness, couldn’t stop laughing.

“Is it fun? Huh?”
“Ah… I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Fufu…! The fact that you still have feelings of shame or shyness remains fresh.”
“You’re having a lot of fun. Can you turn a blind eye at times like this?”
“It’s self-inflicted. With Jeong Jun’s personality that can’t throw away people, this woman and that woman all hugged her and touched her, so I’ll have to pay a small price.”
“Hey…”
“Isn’t it time to start sooner than that? Everyone seems to be waiting in the car.”

As Count said, Gia, Rudy, and Liliana were already waiting in the garage. They told me to gather when I was ready to leave, but it was quick.

They didn’t look surprised when Seda and I showed up together, probably expecting that Seda would follow me. I only nodded my head a few times.

“Chief! Are we leaving now?”
“Yeah. Are you ready?”
“Yes!”
“You Liliana?”
“I… I don’t have any burden. I just need to leave my body.”

At that time, Jia, who had bowed to Seda, suddenly approached and spoke to me.

“Master, what happened to Wolf Dancer running into the tent without saying anything?”
“It’s no big deal.”

It’s really no big deal.

“Really? I was really embarrassed about that…”
“That’s what I was talking about the other day.”
“Oh, what about that?! Yes, yes! Say it!”

That, of course, is the story of marriage. Jia also responded well, as if she had been waiting for me to say this. Jia who seems to jump up her room.

Turning the topic is successful. Although she didn’t technically change the topic.

“Let’s set a detailed date when this work is over.”
“Really? I like it! I like it anytime!”

Jia wagging her ears, wagging her tail, and delighting with her whole body.

Jia is good to see because it is easy to see that she is always happy. I reached out and stroked her hair and ears.

Jia purring like a cat while wearing her dog ears.

“Are you all together?”
“Huh.”
“Hehe. Well, if it weren’t for that, the Emperor and His Majesty wouldn’t be alone. I don’t want my master to die or get hurt.”
“I can’t deny it. But are you still okay?”
“Because the owner first recommended me as a bitch. That’s enough.”
“My cute bitch. Nice.”

If you gently scratch the back of the ear, it will wag its tail with a happy face. I could no longer see the sullen look of depression. I seem to be drinking in moderation these days.

Hehe… Hehe. I-should I drive. Master…?”
“No, I’ll do it all day long. I’m resting.”
“Then, in the passenger seat…”
“Jim sits in the passenger seat. Kang Ji-ah, go in and rest. You too.”
“Ah, yes. Then…”

Seda interrupted and said.

If I receive an order with that calm voice, I will obey without even realizing it. Gia, Rudy, and Liliana opened the back door of the seven-passenger SUV and went inside. However, their appearance soon disappears.

Seda, who had been looking inward, tilted her head.

“Did you pitch a tent inside?”
“I received an Imperial Army-style space warping tent. I thought it would make my trip more comfortable if I removed the back seat and installed it.”
“That’s because it’s like carrying a house and running…”

Seda, who was sitting in the passenger seat, let out a laugh as if it were absurd. Considering the price, this car is like a high-rise building running today. If it is destroyed in an accident of injustice or captured by the enemy, the damage is not insignificant.

However, if you don’t think about the price, there is no such honey option. Originally, when traveling long distances for more than a day by car, many people sit in a small space and it is stuffy, as well as sleeping, resting, and eating.

If you have a tent, everything changes. A multi-passenger vehicle that does not cause motion sickness and comes with a house equipped with a bathroom and all kinds of furniture. If you get sleepy, you can take turns lying on the bed and sleeping. There is nothing cramped even if ten people ride, let alone seven people.

If you have to look at the downside, the driver is lonely, but even that, if someone sits in the passenger seat and talks to you, you can soothe the loneliness.

Well that’s it let’s start slowly You have to run for more than a full day, so the sooner you start, the better.

After making sure everyone got on, I started the car.

After a while.

“Yes, so you paid the villagers for the land instead? You really spend money.”
“It’s an honor to hear that you’re spending too much money on the king.”
“If you think that a king would spend money like water, you are mistaken. Ratel has been preparing for war for a long time. Enjoyment or extravagance was forbidden. .”

A few hours after I started running, I was chatting with Seda when Jia popped out from behind with a plate in her hand.

“Your Majesty! I brought some fruit from the refrigerator. Here are peaches, grapes, apples, and pears. It’s as cool as ice, so eat with the master.”
“Hmm.”
“Uh, are you full? You like peaches. Or would you like some non-alcoholic wine?”
“…No, the wine is fine. Fruits are appreciated.”
“Enjoy your meal. Master, have a hard time driving.”

Jia bows and disappears. Seda, who received a large plate full of fruit, made a complicated expression. It seems to have come a little bit.

Apparently, Seda doesn’t have much of a personal asset. There was an inheritance from the previous king, but it was all used up while consolidating the faltering national power. Even after that, he said he couldn’t afford the luxury of desperately covering his armaments.

“In a military car, in a refrigerator… Chilled fruit and alcohol…”
“You don’t have to live so tight anymore. The emperor has fallen and the war is over.”
“That’s right, you’re right. By the way, you’ve given me too many sheep.”
“Jia says I eat twice as much as I normally do these days.”
“Speaking like others…”

Seda muttered in a stiff tone. He agrees, but doesn’t seem to realize it.

I’ve lived like that my whole life, so it won’t be easy to change overnight.

Seda is a natural fighter, but just because he is a warrior doesn’t mean he has to live with his sword in hand all the time.

He is a warrior as well as a human being. When the problem of survival is solved, it is human nature to pursue happiness next. Because if you don’t live happily, life has no meaning.

“It’s all thanks to you.”
“What.”
“You are the only one who treated Jim as an individual Seda Ratel, not as a king. He made me realize that before I am a king and a warrior, I am also a woman.”

– Squeeze

“I never thought that Jim’s heart could beat so loudly. Not that it would be such a happy thing.”

After counting, she peeled off the peach skin with a knife. Bold and skillful Within seconds, he had it all neatly shaved off. Next, cut the kernels into half-moon shapes and place them on a plate.

Also, the knife skills are great. Jia is also good at handling daggers, so did she learn from Seda?

She picked up a chunk of flesh with her fork and held it out to me.

“I don’t know if you like soft peaches.”
“It’s delicious. Whether it’s soft or hard, I don’t care as long as it’s cool.”

It is almost a crime for fruit to be lukewarm. Especially if it’s a juicy fruit like watermelon, watermelon, or melon.

Hearing my words, Seda smiled mischievously.

“That’s a difficult statement to accept. You’re like a bat, aren’t you?”
“What? How are you?”
“Jim definitely likes soft peaches. It’s good to eat them neatly cut, or it’s not bad to wash them and eat them with the skin on.”

Seda said in a soft voice. Even though she likes peaches, she only tasted one piece and put the rest in my mouth.

Same goes for everything else. Seda made various fruits such as apples, pears, and grapes to make them easy to eat and fed me. She doesn’t say anything, and she doesn’t care what I say.

I counted and stood up when my stomach was full of fruit.

“Do you want to go in and rest?”
“It’s like that.”

Is it a toilet?
Seda has always been a companion to keep me from getting bored, and even fed me water and fruit. There was no time to go to the bathroom.

Thinking so, Seda said something unexpected.

“I can’t leave the passenger seat empty, so I’ll bring someone to replace me. ‘Dancing with the Wolves’ would be nice.”
“I don’t think the wolf dance will come out.”

Because I even ran away.

“Then I’ll forcefully drag you out. Let’s have a good talk.”
“So far?”

I’m a little surprised. I’ll have to talk to Wolf Dance, but I thought Seda wouldn’t give the seat next to me to anyone.

I was worried that there would be a battle for the passenger seat under the water.

He counted to see if he had read my eyes, then said as if he was making excuses.

“If you’re too tight, you might lose affection for Jim.”
“I know you would think that way, but you kidnapped and imprisoned me.”
“Sometimes emotion beats reason.”

Sometimes?

She had a lot to say, but she let Seda go without saying it.

Moments after she went into her tent, there was a thump, which quickly died down. And…

-Sueug

“…”

Indeed, Wolf Dancer crawled out of the tent and sat next to me. As if playing tag, her silver hair was disheveled.

“I’m here?”
“…Uh.”

She sits in the passenger seat once, but the atmosphere is still awkward. It was a sense of distance that was not typical of the wolf dance, which is the most open-minded exchange of curses among women.

They fidget with each other without saying anything.

Fuck. This is not like me and it is not like the wolf dance.

What are you doing just watching? Let’s just ask.

“What’s the reaction from before? It’s not that you don’t want to live with me.”

When I asked the question right away, Wolf Dancer responded immediately.

“I absolutely do not like it!”
“But why? Because of the other kids?”
“It bothers me, but it’s not like that either.”
“Then why?”

Wolf Dancer bites her lip. Is the dark emotion passing across her face a sense of shame?

“It’s just that I’m so shabby… I haven’t achieved anything yet.”
“What? What does that mean?”
“You’re a hero. A princess… A hero who liberated a slave city and defeated an emperor. But I’m a woman who suits you…”

What is he talking about?

Maybe it’s because I didn’t take a closer look at my surroundings because I was dumbfounded?

I was startled the next moment when dozens of men appeared in front of us as we were running along the mountain road.

“Stop the car!!”

– Snuggle Geek!!

They were wearing masks.

They blocked the road with rocks and trees, so I had to stop the car. I almost got scratches on my expensive car.

As I straightened the rattling body and looked around, a large one approached and gave out a loud roar.

“Can you guess what the situation is? We’re robbers! If you quietly surrender and give up everything you have, we’ll save your life. If you understand, put it down immediately!”
