123 – Enemies everywhere (11)

“Tyria. Be honest.”

“…”

“What do you want me to do?”

From noble mtl dot com

We were just outsiders. But Tyria was different.

One of the powerful figures in the village.

Although she has not been involved in politics so far, her cause is well enough.

She had to make the most of the status and prestige she had over her.

But if Tyria stayed still, nothing could change.

“You can’t come all the way here and put off making a decision…”

Tyria had to choose.

Even if it means disappointing the two sisters.

She had to lead the elves with her own opinions.

“If you’re willing, we can help.”

“…”

“But if you give up. I won’t be able to do anything either.”

Even now Tyria was in conflict.

Eiria and Chloe, the family that has been with her all her life.

Erina and I are seeing each other for the first time in our lives.

It was obvious which way his heart leaned.

But realistically, or thinking about the future.

Which one to choose? The answer was clear.

Tyria, who had been thinking for a while, quietly conveyed her opinion.

“I… I want to ask the kingdom for cooperation.”

“The other two would hate it.”

“…”

What I want is a confident answer.

I don’t want to force it, but I’m running out of time right now.

Because the fate of the elves could be influenced by Tyria’s choice.

I needed a clear answer and determination.

Finally Tyria nodded her head in her determined voice.

“Please. Please help us. And I want to ask for negotiations.”

“Okay. Then I’ll try to contact the capital.”

The situation has already been reported to Yulia.

Perhaps in a week or so, the kingdom’s knights will arrive at Hellwood Forest.

Of course, a delegation to cooperate with the elves will accompany you.

“Tyria. If so, I have one thing to ask you.”

“Yes… ?”

Before that, the first priority is to correct the chaos in the elven village.

Because it’s something that must only be done by Tyria’s hands.

I couldn’t watch the other sisters intervene.

“Even if there is something wrong with Chloe and Aria.”

At my words, Tyria swallowed her saliva with a nervous expression.

The fact that I wanted to ignore until now.

But even Tyria couldn’t hide anymore.

“Promise me you will definitely stick with her opinion.”

“…I see.”

“Are you really confident?”

“Yes…!”

This should be enough.

Although she couldn’t get her heart full, if it was Tyria, she wouldn’t give up on her will.

She can clearly see the hardships she will go through from now on.

I will be able to hold Tyria by her side.

“Tell the two of you tomorrow what I just said.”

“…”

“Okay? You must do it.”

“Okay… !”

The secret conversation ended with Tyria’s promise.

Even as she closed the door and said hello, she could see the determination in her eyes.

I must help her not to break her heart.

When Tyria finally left, she let out a deep sigh.

‘It seems like things are progressing somehow.’

No major variables have emerged yet.

It would be nice if things continued like this.

***

A night in the elven village was not very comfortable.

The blue light emitted by the World Tree.

At first she thought it was beautiful, but now she thinks differently.

“I didn’t know it would shine bright all night.”

Even though the sun had set, it was difficult to sleep because the surroundings were brightly lit.

It’s a shame because there was a curtain at least.

If she hadn’t even had that, she might have slept with her eyes open.

Besides, she couldn’t sleep well because she was spying on Lucas to keep an eye on her.

Thanks to that, there were no intruders during the night, but she was not tired all day.

While passing the time lying on the bed yawning.

Erina brought it closer to my face with a worried expression.

“Seohyun. Are you okay…?”

“Yes. Although I am a little sleepy.”

“I want to go back to the capital soon. I want to live with you in a big mansion.”

“Yes. After this work, let’s rest in the capital for a while.”

It has been three months since I fell into the game.

Long if long, short if short.

Thanks to getting stronger faster than expected, there was no need to be more impatient than before.

I decided to take a break for the time being as long as I can solve this problem.

‘Because Tyria and Celica also need time to adapt.’

After the proper party is gathered, there is only one goal left.

The last expedition to subdue the demon king.

Until then, I decided to take enough rest and preparation.

While playing with Erina’s hair.

An anxious voice was heard from the corner of the room.

“You guys… Aren’t you afraid…”

“What?”

“One day the demon king will devour the kingdom and conquer the world.”

His words burst into laughter. What are you saying out of the blue?

Contrary to words, his voice trembled.

How long do you think the kingdom will protect you…!”

After that, they started screaming and screaming.

I went up to Lucas who was lying in the corner and kicked him in the face.

I managed to keep my mouth shut as blood poured from my lips.

“Kuh…”

“Be quiet.”

His face was full of nervousness.

Is it because he is anxious when no help comes overnight?

It seems that he too was enduring with vague confidence.

‘It must be embarrassing.’

Did you think you could get away with it by now?

But the traitor of the elves was silent.

Did I give up on him? Or maybe he has other plans.

In any case, it didn’t matter.

“Don’t think nonsense. After all, there is no retreat.”

“…”

By now, an elf who can handle seduction must have arrived.

At this rate, we should be able to find all the traitors in the elven village.

The perfect checkmate. There was no way to escape.

“Don’t worry. At least I’ll let you die in the capital.”

“… “

There was no answer. Have I still not let go of the clues of hope?

I stopped looking at Lucas who was lying on the floor.

Instead, I stroked the hair of Erina who was acting cute in my arms.

“I want to kill that man first. I was so annoyed that you were talking all night.”

“Be patient with me. I’ll play with you when I go back to the village later.”

“Please don’t forget to praise me.”

“Yes. Okay.”

After that, she spent a lot of time playing with Erina.

However, we did not hear a voice calling us until the sun passed through the middle of the sky.

The elves said they would call us in the afternoon.

“What happened?”

I thought you would at least prepare breakfast.

From noble mtl dot com

Nothing was said until the sun rose in the middle of the sky.

“Look. They are blatantly ignoring us.”

“I can’t do that.”

If you’re vigilant, I’ll understand, but there’s no reason to treat me badly.

Maybe something happened. Shall we go outside and check the situation?

As I was about to leave, someone knocked on the door.

“Are you inside…?”

As soon as I opened the door, Tyria was standing in front of me.

For some reason, with a more urgent expression than yesterday.

“I’m sorry. I’m a little late…”

“What happened?”

“No… ! No big deal!”

Tyria rarely lied. She was just as bad at lying as she was.

Anyone could tell a lie by the visibly embarrassed look on her face.

She wondered if something had happened to her.

I asked her with her concerned heart.

“Tyria. Please tell me if anything happens.”

“Oh, no. That is…”

“Are you having trouble talking to other people?”

Tyria nodded her head cautiously.

An attitude of looking here and there with an anxious expression.

It must have happened.

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone.”

“Then, please. Please don’t tell anyone…”

Did you believe in me fortunately?

Tyria confirmed again that there was no one around.

Then, he took a step closer to me and whispered in a barely audible voice.

“Sah, actually I overslept so I was late to bring you all…”

“Uh… ?”

“I’m sorry, but can you absolutely hide it from Chloe-sister and Aria-sister… ?”

Her face turned red as if she was ashamed to even think about it.

At the same time as her dejection, she laughed out of embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Tyria was rubbing her hands together as if asking for her favor.

Follow me with a silly smile.

I wonder if I was nervous and trembling because of just this.

“I overslept…”

“Yes… sorry…”

She forgot about it for a while, but Tyria loved to sleep.

In most of the situations, I often dozed off.

He even went into battle half-asleep.

In the meantime, the arrows were shot and fired.

“Yes. Okay.”

“That, and breakfast… “

“It’s okay. I’ll tell you that I already ate.”

I wasn’t going to eat anyway.

Just like yesterday, the food may have been poisoned.

It just so happened that I had simply filled my stomach with bread and beef jerky.

Tyria must have been relieved by my words, and her shoulders, filled with tension, came down.

“Thank you very much. I don’t want to be scolded by Chloe’s sister twice.”

Is it that scary to be scolded by Chloe?

It was absurd, but I was able to get Tyria’s favor, so isn’t it a good thing?

Although Erina glared at Tyria with her jealous eyes.

When I approached him and held him in my arms, he didn’t say anything.

“Can I leave now?”

“Yes. Please prepare slowly and follow me.”

“No, I will go now.”

There was nothing to prepare. She came out holding Erina’s hand.

Lucas, whose entire body was restrained, was carried by Tyria.

Lucas didn’t stop his mouth even as he headed to yesterday’s banquet hall.

At some point, he started preaching to us.

“It’s too noisy…”

“Can’t I use sleep magic?”

“A colleague who can handle seduction will arrive soon. If we put him to sleep now, we won’t be able to interrogate him.”

While talking with Tyria, I heard a slap on the cheek from somewhere.

Lucas, who was clinging to Tyria’s shoulder, was slapped by Erina on the cheek.

“hehehe…”

It was only a slap on the cheek and her teeth fell out.

Bloody saliva flowed out and her whole body limp.

“I’m sorry. It was so noisy I couldn’t help it.”

Contrary to what he said, there was no guilt whatsoever.

As if she had done her job, Erina said calmly.

“…You didn’t faint, did you?”

“Yes. Unfortunately.”

Maybe it’s fortunate that the road has become quieter thanks to that.

Instead, he held Erina’s hand tightly to prevent her sudden action.

Then, Erina made a pod and wrapped it around the back of her hand dearly to her.

“Erina. You really need to be still today.”

“Yes. As long as the elves don’t fight first.”

There was a reason for trusting Erina.

The moment Lucas’ lie is revealed.

Great chaos will come to the elven village and at the same time division will occur.

In the meantime, I had to help Tyria to protect her village.

I hope you can get through today safely.

I reached the banquet hall praying in my heart.

Chloe and Aria were already waiting for us.

“It’s late. Tyria.”

Chloe’s eyes narrowed as if she didn’t like her.

Tyria laughed stupidly to avert her gaze.

But her eyes were full of anxiety.

“I’m sorry… sister…”

“… It’s okay. Next time, don’t be late. Got it?”

Fortunately, Chloe was watching us.

Is it because of Erina’s uproar yesterday?

I felt strangely wary.

Everyone sat down in an awkward atmosphere.

The meeting started again with Lucas, who had passed out halfway.
