52 – Second Wife (4)

Ner asked for an item from the elven servants after Arwin left.

He wanted a piece of paper to write something on.

Soon, as she requested, the elves brought a thin leather book, and Ner filled the blank pages with her head empty.

‘Stockpin’

It was the first word she wrote in her book.

It wasn’t an action done with deep thought.

But I think I should do it.

There is nothing wrong with increasing your options and deciding.

She finally remembered her own goal while talking with Arwin.

Will the day ever come when you will need this book?

I don’t know that.

Because I already know that betraying Berg has become very difficult.

Even so, the thought that she shouldn’t be around Berg grew stronger.

This is a story about killing emotions and thinking objectively.

Because Berg is human, he can love many women.

Ner didn’t like that human trait.

Berg is a mercenary, so he keeps risking her life.

Ner didn’t like that kind of mercenary trait.

She wasn’t even a prophet.

“…No.”

But Berg keeps digging into his heart.

I’ll never love him…But I’ll keep him as a friend.

Maybe. If, in case, you have a family in your family and come to like him, you can’t even predict how painful and difficult it will be in the future.

If you look at the facts already listed, pain lies ahead.

Different cultures, different races… There will be too many fights and hurts.

It was far from happiness.

So he may have to act before getting even closer to him.

I don’t want to regret it in the future.

Haven’t you already agreed to Arwin’s marriage?

This was a set procedure.

“…”

Ner looked down at his white tail.

Then he shook his head vigorously from side to side.

It’s the tail that Bergman said was beautiful, but he threw that fact over his head.

Forcibly suppressing emotions.

I scribbled with a quill and filled in the book like a heartless doll.

As he did so, he saw the ring on the ring finger of his left hand, which was placed on his desk again.

“…”

Ner lowered his left hand under the desk and continued writing.

– Smart.

“Ner?”

“Wow!”

Ner was startled by the sound calling him, and closed the book tightly.

– Kung!

Looking back, I see Berg opening the door with grim eyes.

“…What, why are you so surprised?”

He asked with a smile.

Ner slowly hid the book behind his back. Since Berg doesn’t know the letters, it should be fine.

“I was writing this… Diary.”

Berg walked over to her in a tone that conveyed her drunkenness.

“…I see. After all, if I came to a place like this, I would like to leave memories.”

Ner asked him naturally, calming her surprised heart.

“…Have you been drinking?”

“Yes. I ate a little too much because I was drinking with the members… And the elf elder. Sorry. Am I late?”

“…You said it was okay not to talk about where you were and what you were doing.”

“Ah. Was it?”

Berg continued to approach her, warming her body.

It was the first time I had seen him so drunk.

Even so, in the part that he is not afraid… Ner realized how much he allowed his heart in the meantime.

Berg naturally threw off his upper chest as he prepared for bed.

It was only then that Ner saw his new scars.

Her body reacted before her head could digest the facts first.

“Berg…!”

She jumped straight out of her seat, startled.

The bloody bandages were past the time to change them.

Ner brought the medical supplies he had brought with him and seated Berg in a suitable chair.

“No…! It’s a condition that needs to be treated…! What did you do without changing the bandages until this happened!”

“… Huh? It’s better if you just do it this way.”

“You idiot! It could be contaminated!”

“Ner, it’s been a while since I put this on… I washed it thoroughly and applied the medicine…”

Berg speaks like an excuse.

“What should I do if I drink at this time! It’s getting worse!”

Ner hurriedly removed his bandage and examined her wound.

“…”

As he said, the treatment itself is neat. But Ner couldn’t calm his startled and worried mind.

Now that he couldn’t nag anymore, Nere silently changed his bandages.

“…”

Meanwhile, Berg was smiling and squinting his eyes.

Ner breathes a sigh of relief only after the cloth around his body is clean.

After pouring out his strong emotions, he said in a calm voice that he was ashamed of himself.

“…Everything, done. Go to bed and sleep Don’t sleep here.”

“Is that so?”

And at the same time as he said it, Ner felt his body soar into the sky.

Before I knew it, Berg’s arms were on my back and under my legs.

“Ah… Uh!”

Ner let out her moans, but Berg carried her to her bed without saying a word to her.

Even a brief outburst is meaningless.

Because he was drunk, Berg’s actions were even bolder.

“Thanks for the treatment.”

Berg laughed and said.

Ner could feel his heart beating.

She bit her lip and saved her words, thinking that if she opened her mouth, her words would tremble.

As a result, it becomes like giving in to him too easily.

‘It’s because it’s my first friend. It’s because it’s my first friend.’

Ner whispered to himself.

I tried my best not to attach too much importance to it.

Berg soon laid Ner carefully on the bed.

Likewise, he naturally lies down on the bed.

But Berg did not retrieve his arm, which he had placed behind Ner’s back.

Slightly up, just to support her neck.

Ner tries on her arm pillow for the first time.

“Let’s go to sleep.”

He said it like it was nothing.

Ner tried to lift her torso to reject her, but Berg forced her back down.

“Let’s just sleep.”

“…”

Suddenly, Berg’s eyes open.

“…I’m going to sleep away from tomorrow anyway.”

Ner’s heart sank for a moment at those words.

“…Huh?”

“We decided to get married tomorrow. It’s a bit urgent…But what. Even if you prepare for the circumstances, nothing will change.”

“…”

“Tomorrow I am going to sleep with Arwin Celebrien. So just be patient today, Ner.”

Ner’s words left her speechless.

I can’t even spit out a formal answer.

It was a future that we had already predicted, but when it came, the blow was even greater.

Her entire body loses strength.

Like that, Ner lay comfortably in his arms.

On the contrary, the two eyes that grew round didn’t know how to close.

“I’m sorry.”

But Berg apologized.

“…What?”

“…Marriage with Arwin. I will no longer take her as a wife.”

While Ner understands his apology, he has no idea why he is doing this.

It was Ner who accepted the marriage. Berg was in the position that he didn’t want to.

Even so, this apology was handed over.

“Yeah…Why are you apologizing?”

“Just. I know…You’re not feeling…Well.”

Berg stuttered his words as if he was gradually falling asleep.

Ner leaned on Berg’s arm and looked at him as he spat out these words.

Tens of thousands of emotions run through her.

“…You have nothing to be sorry about.”

Ner said in a whisper. My angular conscience ached.

Berg, who thought he was going to sleep, slowly opened his eyes.

Ner finds mischief in his dark eyes.

He smiles brightly.

“…Does your tail look pretty even at night?”

“…”

Again, my breath stops at those words.

But maybe it’s because I’m used to it. Or was it because he tried to reject him?

I was able to withstand the shock this time.

“That sound again. My tail is weird-“

“…..Was it very difficult?”

However, Berg’s words stirred up emotions again.

“…”

Ner couldn’t say anything. Mouth is tightly closed.

I already knew very well what was difficult.

My throat felt tight again.

I didn’t even know I was obsessed with prophecy because it was so difficult at that time.

I had to endure the same bullying every day in a place where there was no one on my side.

I had to live my life knowing that I was cursed.

I have never felt loved except for my grandmother.

“…”

-Ssukseuk.

Berg tousled Ner’s hair with his half hand.

Her ears are folded and rubbed in the process.

She seemed to console the unchangeable past.

Berg soon falls into a slumber.

“…”

Ner looked at the soundly asleep Berg without a word.

I can’t stand the frown on my face.

“…”

Why is it so uncomfortable that he is going to Arwin?

Why is it so fortunate that Arwin seems to hate him?

Why are you so selfish towards your friend Berg?

… Maybe it’s because she’s been her favorite since her grandmother.

“…Shouldn’t I listen to the answer and go to sleep?”

A smile breaks through Ner’s wrinkled expression.

Is it because sleepiness is contagious?

Maybe it’s because today is a tiring day.

Ner also feels a rush of stress.

Laying on Berg’s wrist, she muttered to herself.

“…Uncomfortable.”

Spitting out excuses even though no one is listening.

Then he lay down on his forearm, not hers.

It was an inconvenient choice.

Going a little closer to Berg’s bosom.

Ner left the drunk Berg behind and secretly watched him closely.

Not long ago, I felt reluctant to even touch it.

I don’t mind lying on his arm already.

No, get out…

“…Because we are friends…”

Ner burrows into his arm again while talking to himself.

Then I quietly examine his face.

I finally understood why the human race women called him handsome.

“…Because we are friends…”

Ner lightly touched the face.

Berg also touched his own hair and ears, so it should be fine.

“…Because they are friends.”

I was afraid of what kind of emotions I would feel tomorrow.

But Ner wrapped himself in Berg’s arms.

His warm warmth is transmitted.

Anyone can see that she fell asleep with her husband-like posture.
