Chapter 8 – 4. The End. New Start
It’s been a week since I spent time with Bibi and her guest room.
In the meantime, we stuck together like gumdrops.
We eat together.
We talk about things we couldn’t talk about when we were superiors and subordinates.
We were rubbing our bodies against each other on the bed.
When our eyes met, we had sex right away.
Instead of just going crazy and fucking like the first night, I set rules.
I trained the female to be obedient to my words by making her unconditionally call me ‘master’ while on the bed.
Vivina accepted the feast of extremely dark demands willingly, as if she were happy.
Teaching a woman who has just awakened to lust to suit my tastes and coloring her body and mind to my tastes.
It made me feel tremendous excitement and a sense of immorality.
Even when she couldn’t stand her excitement and sense of immorality and did harsh things, Bibi said that even that was fine, and she left everything to me as a woman.
The endlessly whispering loving words, as if he was truly happy to mix his body with me, eased the guilt I had about sex as a trauma.
Naturally, the empty space in my heart that was created was filled with affection for Vivina.
I don’t know how many times Kulkulja patted her Bibina head and told herself that I must make this woman happy.
I was happy
So much so that I want to stay like this forever.
But of course we can’t keep doing this forever.
Regardless of the cost of living in a guest room, we had to leave the capital to pursue our plan of ‘living as a country couple in a quiet village.’
Although we thought it was not the case, we could not rule out the possibility that forces that wanted to make Bibina an ‘example’ were looking for us.
So, tomorrow morning, the 6th day, I decided with Bibina to leave the capital early.
She tipped the inn staff and asked them to provide her with food and tools for her trip, as well as comfortable clothes for her bibna.
The employee who ran the medicine errand last time handled the job neatly.
He thanked me for the tip and brought me a bag of beef jerky made at the inn. It’s rewarding to leave a tip.
After getting ready, we went to bed early.
Since I have to leave early tomorrow, I even promised not to have sex today and just sleep quietly.
However, the combination of a sadistic devil man and a woman who wakes up to sex late at night was not enough for her to get through the night before when she had to wake up early, and in the end, I tied a makeshift leash made of a piece of cloth around Vivina’s neck.
…
…
“Lord, I’m the owner…! S-Stop for a moment…! What the heck?! Oh, ugh…!!”
In the end, on our last day in the capital, we soaked the blanket with love juice and tide, collapsed on it, and fell asleep.
* * *
On the morning of the 6th day, I woke up later than planned due to the aftermath of the previous night.
Of course I was tired.
Who are we? We are former soldiers whose job is to wake up when we are tired.
I woke up feeling good and prepared to leave.
“Put down the hood. “You never know if you get caught.”
In front of the visit.
I spoke to Vivina before opening the door.
Vivi I nodded and put on her hood another layer.
It seemed like I couldn’t see in front of me because my entire field of vision was blocked, but it was actually better. Anyway, I’m going to go hand in hand.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
I left the room.
I went down the stairs, passed the counter, and came out of the inn.
The destination is the west gate.
The closest and most accessible roads are all major roads with many people passing by.
When planning a strategy, always assume what if, and hide the trees in a dense forest.
Vivi: Thinking of the worst that there is a pursuer looking for me, it is right to run down her street and hide in her crowd.
I walked quickly among the people, holding Vivina’s hand tightly.
Past the noisy plaza, through the restaurant town, and through the workshop street.
Before we knew it, we had arrived at a place where the western gate was visible.
I was relieved. As expected, there was no pursuer…
-Wow!
The moment I realized that someone had grabbed my collar, I instinctively took out the dagger in my arms and stabbed the other person.
But it was impossible.
The hand that was thrown out was caught by the opponent and could not be moved.
That wasn’t all.
Vivina, who reacted the same way as me and threw out a magical ice dagger, was caught in her fist. Needless to say, she was a talented person.
Is he really a pursuer targeting Vivina as expected?
While I was quickly thinking, the man opened his mouth first.
“Not the enemy. “Please put away your sword.”
“… Who is it?”
“I am Dalkan, Princess Arwen’s direct knight. She was ordered to bring you two. Please follow me.”
Princess Arwen.
It’s a familiar name.
The first princess of the kingdom and the third-ranked candidate for succession to the throne.
And Bibina’s classmate at knight school and an old friend. I saw it a few times too.
If the words of the man who introduced himself as Dalkan were true, he would not harm Bibina.
But I couldn’t believe it right away. Because he could be lying.
“What do we believe and follow?”
“You two can’t leave the western gate anyway. Because a secret wanted order has been issued to the guards. “Look around there.”
The moment I heard Dalkan’s words and recognized my surroundings, I held my breath.
I was conscious of a few people mingling among the crowd, naturally separating me and Vivina from the crowd.
Since when did I get caught? From when I left the inn? Or since when you stayed at the inn?
The only thing that was certain was that there was no escape.
“I believe you understand the situation.”
“… What do you want?”
“Please follow me. Again, I mean no harm. Princess Arwen just wants to talk.”
“…”
From here, we have no choice but to follow.
The moment you come to that conclusion and give a positive answer.
“Dalkan.”
Bibina said.
Dalkan answered.
“Yes. Vivina.”
“… Why is he looking for me?”
“You want an apology.”
“… Ugh… Don’t be funny. “When I felt like I was going to die, I left it alone.”
“That’s why. The princess wants to apologize to Bibina and help her.”
“… Jo, don’t go to the extreme.”
A voice that trembles endlessly from anger.
The hand that was holding mine was trembling.
Even though I couldn’t see her face because it was covered by her hood, I could clearly feel Bibi’s anger.
She is the one who can control that anger.
It was natural that I was the only one, so she said.
“Sister. Let’s go.”
“…”
“I can’t believe it, but there’s no way to escape. No matter what happens, I will be by your side. So let’s go. Huh?”
“…”
Bibina paused for a long time, as if she didn’t feel like it.
And she finally nodded her head.
We followed Dalkan.
* * *
The place we followed was an empty building in a remote alley.
Upon entering, there were several people who appeared to be the princess’s direct servants.
I followed the directions and went straight up to the second floor.
Dalkan knocked on the door of the room right next to the stairs on the second floor.
“Princess. “I brought it.”
“Come in.”
Dalkan opened the door.
He gestured for us to go in, as if he had no intention of going in.
“You came.”
There was Princess Arwen in the room.
An elegant beauty who was not at all embarrassed to be the princess of a country with her purple bob hair and bold features that I had seen several times at the social parties I attended along with Bibina.
I bowed my head.
“Meet the princess.”
“It’s been a while. Perry. And…”
“…”
Bibina did not look at Arwen.
Without taking off the hood that covered more than half of her face, she lowered her head as if that wasn’t enough and said nothing.
Princess Arwen swallowed what she was trying to say.
“Please sit down.”
Princess Arwen gestured to the chair near us.
We sat down in her seat and faced Princess Arwen.
A deep silence fell in the room.
It was Princess Arwen who opened her mouth first.
“The day Bibina gets out of prison. I tried to protect Dalkan right away. But Perry says he left it alone when he saw you were there. He said it was right for you to embrace him. I agreed and monitored the inn.”
“I see.”
“Seeing as they are about to leave the capital together, does that mean they will be together in the future?”
“Yes.”
“Where do you plan on going? Is there anything I can help you with?”
“… I don’t know yet. “I haven’t decided exactly where to go.”
“I see.”
“…”
A heavy silence fell again.
It was Princess Arwen who broke the silence.
“Bibina.”
“…”
“Can you please take off your hat? Let’s talk face to face.”
“…”
Bibina did not answer.
Instead, the hand that was holding mine was trembling.
All I could do was hold his hand tightly.
“I couldn’t help it. “You know.”
“…”
Bibina did not answer.
Arwen continued.
“The suppression of this rebellion was a test of loyalty for the princes and princesses and a battle to determine succession rank. If I had openly sided with you, I had no choice but to be pushed aside. Bibi, you know. How desperate I am. I will definitely become a king. It has to happen.”
A princess who tells stories.
Bibina did not answer.
“I still tried. I did everything I could to avoid your execution. In order to save you, I took off all my underwear and knelt down to that bastard first prince, spitting out all my territory and funds. If you’re smart, you know this. “I made a huge sacrifice for your life.”
The princess wants to know about her hardships.
Bibina did not answer.
“… No. Sorry. I’m a bitch. A bitch who weighed power against her best friend. Just hit me if you want. I will beat you until you are released. “You will never appear before my eyes again.”
A servile apple.
Bibina did not answer.
“So Bibi… Please… Really please… One last time… Let me see your face. Huh…? “I think it would be very difficult to let you go like this…”
And in the end, an earnest request came out along with a single tear.
There was no answer.
There are just sobs ringing beneath the bowed head.
The cry, filled with so many emotions, made my heart feel cold, and Arwen’s wet eyes closed gently.
It was a tragedy.
A bitter tragedy that simultaneously breaks the hearts of the two leads who have been together since their school days and the supporting actors who only vaguely know the relationship between them.
“… Perry.”
Soon, Princess Arwen took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and called me.
“We have wagons, drivers, supplies and funds waiting outside the capital. Dalkan will guide you. Please accept it.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
“And as for your destination, if you can’t find a place you like, how about going over to the Parian Continent across the sea at the eastern end of the continent and settling in Kela Camp? As you know, it is far from the dirty and complicated political world. Since it is a place where the power of the Kingdom of Osiris does not reach, I think we will be able to send support smoothly through the embassy. Also, if you don’t like Kela Camp… Please send us a message through the Osiris Embassy nearby, and we will help in any way possible.”
“Thank you. “I will consider Kela Camp.”
“… Perry.”
“Yes.”
“… Bibina. Thank you very much.”
“… Yes.”
Princess Arwen bowed her head.
After that she got up and left the room.
“… Sister.”
Carefully, I raised Vivina’s head.
“… Sigh.”
As expected, she was covered in tears and snot.
I immediately hugged him and patted him on the back, and when I thought he had calmed down to some extent, I told him.
“If you were going to cry like this, you shouldn’t have accepted my apology.”
“Uh, when I see your face… I really… Feel like I’m going to hate you… So I didn’t see you… Hmm…”
“… You’re not completely hateful, are you?”
“… I don’t know…”
“…”
I want to hate, but I can’t, I want to forgive, but I can’t.
I guess that’s it.
If so, I want to reconcile.
It may be crazy, but that was my honest feeling.
Because it doesn’t seem like either of them did anything wrong.
“Then, sister. Could it be…”
So I said a plan that came to mind.
Fortunately, Bibina agreed and took action.
Afterward, we listened to Dalkan’s explanation of the various options he proposed, and ultimately decided to head to Kela Camp that Princess Arwen had mentioned.
I headed out of the capital under Dalkan’s guidance.
I’ll probably never come here again.
* * *
“Princess.”
Inside the royal castle, Princess Arwen’s room.
Dalkan returned and spoke to Arwen, who had been lying in bed ever since she returned.
Arwen answered in a weak voice.
“I brought you there well…”
“Bibina left a letter…”
-Wow!
Arwen jumped up and snatched the letter Dalkan was holding and read its contents.
The letter was written in such a short sentence that it was embarrassing to have made such a fuss.
But Arwen couldn’t help but laugh.
-I will try my best not to hate you. Let’s meet someday when our hatred cools down. By all means
A familiar, crooked handwriting that we borrowed from each other’s notes countless times during our engineer school days.
Arwen folded the letter and put it in the drawer next to the bed. And she said.
“Dalkan.”
“Yes, princess.”
“Those two. Are they going to Kela Camp?”
“I think I’ll do it for now. I don’t think I’ve decided on a specific place to go. I was told that something big would happen in the capital within a few years, and that if I stayed too close to that time, I might get in trouble, so I agreed right away.”
“Then, tell the Embassy at Kela Camp. They will provide ample support, so help them both materially and spiritually, and report on how they are living. There is no need to go into detail. Are they living well? Just that much. Let me be clear, this is a mission. If it sounds nonsense, it is okay. “I don’t know what I’m going to do when I’m so mad, so take responsibility and proceed.”
“I will accept it. It is already underway.”
“As expected, he is capable. I like it.”
“Bibina is not only the princess’s friend, but she is also a school senior and fellow knight whom I respected.”
“… That’s right.”
“Yes.”
“… Do you blame me too?”
“No. The princess did her best. The situation was just too much.”
“… Please leave. I want to rest.”
Dalkan nodded and left the room.
Arwen, lying down on the bed again, made a promise
I must become king.
