My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields - My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields chapter 52

#10 Banquet (6)

Dalton Nimrud was not happy with the situation he was facing.

Where did it go wrong?

Suddenly, I came up with the answer, and there was a point where I could point out quite clearly.

– The plan has changed. The assassination will be carried out on the day of the banquet.

Wolyeong.

Because those fucking assassins delayed Elric Portman’s assassination date.

Bondi Dalton’s plan was to clear the intrusive Elric Portman before the banquet and kill Elbus Graham on the spot.

Bondi Dalton had no intention of directly intervening in the process.

However, since it has become a situation where you have to assassinate these two at once, isn’t it the only way you can do it yourself?

At Wolyeong’s request to lure him to the same seat, I came out to this point.

It seems that the sky has not abandoned itself.

“What a wonderful coincidence.”

When I came out to the garden, I saw Elbus Graham and Elric Portman talking in one place.

How do you two know each other?

The question came to mind for a moment, but not for long.

Dalton knew something.

“Well, it is a fact I have heard that Prince Graham does not associate with people based on their rank. I didn’t know that disposition continued with the baron.”

I remember hearing that Elric Portman had been a wanderer for 10 years.

The relationship between the two could have continued during that time.

As a plausible cause and effect was drawn, Dalton himself began to believe in its credibility.

Whatever it is, the plan doesn’t change, so I’ll just have to deal with it quickly and go back.

It was the moment when Dalton smiled at the feeling of being willing.

The two of them started to open their mouths among themselves.

The beginning was Elbus.

“Who are you?”

“It’s Count Nimrud.”

“I can’t memorize all the nobles of other countries?”

“Would you understand if I told you that I was the one who was targeting you?”

“oh?”

I have too much room.

Dalton clicked his tongue and said.

“They don’t know what will happen to them, they look like bugs. Hemiplegic and lame, that’s a pretty good combination.”

“Is that so?”

“I will be well soon. Unlike you.”

“You talk badly.”

Dalton’s expression frowned.

‘These?’

Could it be that he noticed the plot and has another escort nearby?

I wouldn’t be so stupid that I don’t know what’s really going on.

Dalton touched the small crystal ball in his pocket.

Ugh-

Looking at the reaction, Wol-yeong has already arrived here.

So, is that confidence bluff?

Yes, it would be a bluff.

Dalton said in an angry voice.

“… Don’t play around here.”

Dalton pointed at Elbus Graham.

“Prince Graham, you must die here.”

“You mean me?”

“Yes, there is no supervisor. Sacrifice for the cause… I can express it that way.”

Leaving them out for too long could arouse suspicion.

Dalton went straight into action.

“It’s for the glory of the East, so please don’t be too sad.”

Dalton imagined a bright future with a deep smile.

If you assassinate Elbus Graham at the royal banquet, there will be a cause for war.

Dalton’s purpose was to gain power by stopping the war with these hands while the country was reeling.

If the king could be ousted in the process, it was not far from establishing a new Nimrudian royal family.

I was actually confident.

Because the deal with ‘them’ has already ended.

“Let me introduce you.”

Dalton felt a little excited at the thought of pulling the trigger on that grand plan with his own hands.

“Wolyeong. They are the envoys of the West.”

Fire!

When the crystal ball was raised high, grayish white light emanated from it.

It was a kind of signal flare.

“ruler! Kill them now!”

Time to count to five even with excited cries.

Dalton inflated his expectations to the fullest, expecting to see them hacked to death in front of his eyes.

“… ?”

Nothing happened.

Embarrassment welled up in Dalton.

I looked around, but it was still.

“What is this… ?”

There was something Dalton didn’t know.

First, that both of them already knew about his plans.

Second, that Wolyeong had already tried to assassinate her once and failed.

and third,

“That was enough.”

Wol-young, who failed in the assassination, is now being manipulated by Elric’s limbs.

“Take care of it.”

“You son of a bitch!”

From noble mtl dot com

bang!

Danal, the branch manager of Wolyeong, jumped out from among the bushes and kicked Dalton in the head with his eyes shining.

Not once or twice.

Angry Danal’s kicking continued as fiercely as his rising rage.

puck! puck! puck!

“Oooh!”

“you! me! Listen to kill!”

Dalton collapsed terribly at his kick and was busy moaning.

Danal didn’t feel the slightest joy in stepping on Dalton.

No, I definitely felt the relief of the feeling of coming back from the dead.

‘Patience! Of course, the original assassination target was Elbus Graham!’

It was a problem even if Elric didn’t come.

In the end, since it was an order from the superior, he would have had to kill Elbus Graham, and if that happened, he would have faced a more painful situation than being killed by Kasha, who learned the truth later.

In a word, it was.

‘I’m in trouble!’

It was used as a discard.

Also very thoroughly.

Kwadeuk!

“Quaaaaaagh!”

Danal, who had crushed Dalton’s knee joint, turned around with a sigh.

There was Kasha, expressionless, and Elbus Graham, who smiled like he was having fun.

Danal shook her head.

‘It’s a mission failure anyway, it’s hard to go back to Wolyeong now that Kasha caught them all.’

Wolyeong’s assassin Danal, it was none other than survival instinct that put him in the position of branch manager.

In other words, it could have been called notice.

‘This is the only way to survive!’

thud!

Danal knelt down and bowed his head.

“Old man! I handled it as instructed!”

If this happened, I’d rather stick to Kasha’s side!

Danal is ready to welcome its new owner.

Elric looked at the stunned Count Nimrud and Danal with a calm face.

Elbus asked.

“Did you buy Wolyeong?”

“I didn’t spend any money, so I can’t say it was a buy.”

“So, you’re saying you subdued it by force?”

“They came first.”

A deep sigh came out.

“More than that, aren’t you afraid? I came here knowing there would be an assassin… .”

“It’s because I believe in you.”

Elbus grinned and let Elric’s words slip away.

Elric felt like his back goal was being pulled.

It’s a shame because it ended well, and I almost got into trouble.

“I have no face to see your wife.”

said Elric, and Elbus answered.

“is it? I’d like to have a deep conversation with your wife. For example, about the sword demon Kasha… .”

“I don’t really want to see you no longer be friends.”

“Oops.”

Elbus shrugged.

Elric frowned.

Before long, his gaze reached Danal again.

What should I do with this guy?

Thinking, Elric asked Elbus.

“Can you think of the right way?”

“What if it’s a room?”

“No matter what, it’s becoming clear that there are forces targeting the East. I am… .”

“I understand. You don’t want your hometown to be drawn into war.”

Elbus tapped Elric on the shoulder and added.

“Do you remember the proposal I made just before?”

Elbus’ voice became serious again.

“It was not meant as a joke. Of course, whatever you choose, I will respect your opinion. So I will ask.”

He had a determined face, as if he wanted to hear an answer he hadn’t heard before.

“Do you have any plans to return to the battlefield?”

Elric was in great hesitation at that moment.

At the end of it, the lips that were swollen, spit out an answer full of confusion.

“… Give me time to think about it.”

Elric could not immediately say yes.

*

I couldn’t even figure out why I gave such an answer.

Isn’t it?

As long as my knee is healed, I will leave immediately for the battlefield.

I always promised myself that much, but when I was given the choice, the word that I would go to the battlefield didn’t come out.

-… Okay, leave the cleaning up to me for now and then you go back.

Elbus didn’t care much and let Elric go.

Elric impatiently reached for the banquet hall with his cane.

The mind that I can’t explain exactly myself leads the stretch step to one side.

My knee is aching, but I feel the pain like nothing.

Just the stuffy question turned into a terrible thirst, and he was pointing to a woman as a way to quench that thirst.

“ma’am.”

Elric reached Tyria.

The woman who was sitting alone in the corner of the banquet hall watching the ball met her eyes.

“Ah, are you here?”

I say it softly.

Elric’s lips were tightly shut, but then a thin arc was drawn.

“… I’m sorry I’m late. I lost my way.”

“It can be. The royal castle is quite wide.”

I feel at ease now

Elric realized it only when he saw the car hanging in front of the two roads he had always put off.

“What were you doing alone?”

That he was reluctant to have the option of leaving her.

“I was waiting for the family head.”

Elric wanted to know Tyria.

More and more deeply than I know now.

What she thinks, what she likes, and what she hates.

Beyond that, I wanted to know everything.

For some reason, it seemed like she couldn’t leave Tyria Portman’s side until that happened.

“Please sit here.”

As soon as she pointed to the seat next to him, Elric felt as if everything related to the battlefield had been erased from his mind.
