My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields - My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields chapter 49

#10 Banquet (3)

In Elric’s memory, Wolyeong was not a very pleasant relationship.

I only met three times in person, but I couldn’t have a good perception because each meeting was a hindrance to me.

Setting aside everything else, it was especially true of what happened at Elbus Graham’s wedding.

He, who could hardly settle down with one woman, was about to make up his mind that he wanted to live with someone.

After giving up his work on the battlefield to bless his friend’s bright future, he ran into Wol-young, who was trying to assassinate Elbus.

Since then, they have delivered an apology, but it was not welcome.

In addition to such personal circumstances, one more today.

“You are really bothering me with everything. you guys.”

Elric sat in his chair, leaning on his cane and looking down at them.

Bowing down is obvious submission.

But I couldn’t feel better.

‘Is it a coincidence, or is it intentional?’

Someone knows the connection between Kasha the Sword Demon and Elric Portman.

I want to shut their throats right now, but it wasn’t a good way at the point of not knowing how many more people might be involved later.

No, apart from that, why are they here?

It was the moment when I parted my lips thinking that I needed to know that.

“Bae, Countess! It was a request from Count Nimrud!”

Wolyeong, who seemed to be the senior, exclaimed urgently.

Elric’s eyebrows lifted.

“Nimrud?”

He was the father of the nerd I met at the dressmaker.

Even mobilize assassins.

Elric asked, feeling uncomfortable.

“How far does he know?”

“How far are you going… .”

“I mean, how much do you know about me?”

Shockingly, Wolyeong’s body shuddered.

In a trembling voice, he confessed everything he knew.

“That, so… .”

To sum up his words, it was.

Count Nimrud tried to assassinate Elric for insulting his successor, Young-sik, just for the prestige of his family.

There was a sense of absurdity, but it was quite pleasant that I couldn’t find a point of contact with Kasha.

Then, the next thing to think about is one thing.

“Then I need to know why you guys who used to hang out in the west are here.”

Just to expand your business? That’s not even funny.

Elric knew who the person controlling Wolyoung was behind the scenes, and the identity of the darkness that even they did not know.

Judging from his temperament, Wolyeong had no reason to expand all the way to the east.

“Now, I do not like lies.”

When Elric tried to kill himself, Wolyeong’s assassins gulped down their saliva.

And at the words I barely uttered while trembling in fear.

“That, that… .”

Elric’s head turned white.

Tyria looked in the mirror after finishing all the makeup.

A simple dark blue dress, finely braided hair rolled back, and moderately applied makeup.

It was the same as at any other banquet, but Tyria was filled with satisfaction as she looked at him.

It was natural.

It was because this banquet, unlike any other, was with Elric.

It’s the first royal banquet with him, how can I not be thrilled?

As in the past 9 years, there would be no such thing as talking about work with the people of the customer following the lead of the former family.

There would be no such thing as last year, sitting alone in the corner of the banquet hall and passing time blankly.

No, it didn’t matter if it was in the corner.

Tyria would feel extremely satisfied just by being with Elric at that moment, at that time.

“Madam, the young master’s training is over.”

Tyria felt a small thrill at the words Aldio approached.

However, one cannot show his personal feelings toward a servant.

“Okay. Let’s get up soon.”

“Yes, and… .”

“Didn’t you decide to stop talking about that?”

Aldio flinched.

Tyria tried hard to hold back the feeling of shame rising up inside her, and indifferently passed his face.

At least it’s about the bed.

“Even if it’s for a short time, how can I make the headmistress use a bad quality bed? An aristocrat must find comfort even in a single night’s sleep.”

When I first saw Elric’s bed broken, I was taken aback, but at that moment, something happened without my knowledge.

The first was getting him into my bed, and the second was delaying the delivery of his bed.

I felt ashamed because I did it reflexively without thinking.

But, isn’t it? They are a couple.

It’s not that I’m trying to do anything special, but I’m just going to sleep in the same bed, so how can I say that’s a big greed.

I didn’t even do anything extra personal, I really just slept.

It would be a lie if there were no regrets, but Tyria was feeling more than enough satisfaction.

Anyway, if Rdio, who was delivering the letter in the process, was aware of the intention to some extent, would it be defeat?

Although he succeeded in silencing him by making an excuse, he was occasionally revealing his difficulties as if he was being stabbed by his conscience.

“Ugh… .”

Rdio, who looked at him, nodded.

The words that came out were words with a hint of self-justification somewhere.

“It is. Cancer, because you are a couple. And now, the successor… .”

“butler.”

“… Yep, sorry.”

Aldio became sullen and lowered his head.

For some reason, Tyria said in a soft voice, feeling sorry and embarrassed.

“… It will start when the time is right. It is also the duty of nobles to produce an heir.”

The voice that came out was very businesslike.

It was Tyria’s bad habit of hiding her emotions the more she was nervous.

Aldio’s complexion brightened slightly.

successor.

Tyria knew very well that giving birth to a child was not only a joy for her.

Still not bothering to mention it was her insistence on not wanting to sleep for business reasons.

“… stop going.”

Tyria got up from her seat.

Stop thinking nonsense.

A good time would be interrupted by being preoccupied with useless thoughts.

She turned to Elric.

“You are here.”

When Elric greeted her at the front door, Tyria felt her heart race.

There was something very exciting about seeing the person you love differently than usual.

The light brown suit that resembles his hair is very calm.

The person who naturally painted it without harming the aesthetics emphasized the restrained beauty, and the forehead that was exposed because of the hair swept back was straight and pretty.

From noble mtl dot com

“… Let’s start slowly.”

Tyria stared blankly at the floor and said.

It was hard to make eye contact.

He replied with a low laugh.

“Let’s do that.”

For some reason, his voice was quieter than usual.

When I glanced at him as I climbed into the carriage, I saw that his face seemed to be thinking a lot.

It reminds me of not liking the royal banquet so much.

I don’t know if he was nervous.

Then, it would be my wife’s job to relieve tension.

Tyria looked out the window and said.

“There will be no big deal. Even if it’s a banquet, only the nobles in the center will be paying attention.”

“… exactly?”

“Yes, just kill a moderate amount of time and come out.”

“… I guess so.”

The answer was a little slow as if he was thinking of something else.

It was a moment of a little bit of sadness.

After making a sound, he added a word belatedly.

“You look beautiful. today.”

Trembling, Tyria’s fingertips dried.

His gaze jerked to Elric.

The sound came out dully.

“… yes?”

“You look a little different than usual. I was saying that the outfit suits you well.”

He was making eye contact with a smile on his face.

So embarrassed, I moved my gaze out the window.

Can’t you tell me just one more time?

I need to be sure that what I heard now is not a dream.

After trying to make a request, Tyria kept her lips shut.

It was because I thought that if I heard the same words one more time, my heart might really explode.

-I’m going to marry a beautiful woman.

Even if I’m not the unparalleled beauty you’ve been hoping for, I wonder if I’ve reached the edge.

Have I gotten to the point where I can’t hear that ugly sound anymore?

The corners of my lips curled up for no reason, so it wasn’t easy to manage them.

Tyria’s gaze also turned to the window.

He tried to swallow his tremors and express his gratitude.

“The head of the family suits you well too.”

It was sincere, but because of the tension, hard words came out.

It’s like an ugly habit. At times like this, it would be nice if you pretended to be a mistake and put your heart into it.

While thinking, the answer came back.

“It’s not the clothes your wife picked out for you. I don’t think there’s any way it wouldn’t fit.”

The hand holding the hem of the dress can’t be still, and it’s unreasonable.

I was in trouble because my palms seemed to be sweating, but before I knew it, the carriage had arrived at the royal castle.

What is the reason why the castle, which always looked gray, is colorful today?

Whether it was because of the good weather or because of the good mood, there was no way to know.

“then Let’s go.”

Elric got off the carriage first and reached out.

The posture was messed up.

It was an escort nonetheless.

Tyria held his hand, anxious about what to do if her palms were stained with sweat.

It felt like a tickle was burning inside of me when my fingers caught on each other.

“… yes.”

Tyria’s gaze fell down and her eyelashes stood out.
