My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields - My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields chapter 56
#11 Knights (1)
Looking back, it was Elric’s first carriage trip in his life.
It’s going to be a pretty boring road. Contrary to what was expected, there were some unexpected pleasures in the week-long journey from Wangdo to Yubin.
For example, a scene passing by slowly can be cited as an example.
It was a desolate landscape in the midst of winter, but the people walking over it were warm.
The vegetation crouching down in preparation for the next year showed a somewhat modest aspect, and the process of turning the clear sky red contained the romance that Elbus liked.
Both of them had an aspect that calmed the mind.
Elric thought.
‘As expected, I like being quiet.’
It was not a bad feeling as the always buzzing sounds of weapons and soldiers’ shouts were gradually washed away.
Spending such a leisurely time, finally Wibin.
It was a sunset evening when we reached Portman’s mansion.
“You worked hard.”
“no. It’s hard work, Rdio did it all. All I did was sit in the carriage.”
“Isn’t that why you got on the carriage because of me?”
When Tyria spoke as if she was embarrassed, Elric laughed and shook his head.
“It was a pleasant trip. It was quite enjoyable to sit still and watch the passing scenery.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Tyria’s expression became much softer.
Elric was convinced that he could now tell those things apart.
It must be because we spent a week together in close proximity.
She remained expressionless in any situation, but if you looked closely, you could see the pitch of her tone or the momentary change in her facial muscles.
Elric was delighted.
That Tyria didn’t hate spending time with him.
“young master! lady! I’ll unload first! Eat and sleep!”
At Aldio’s cry, Elric held Tyria’s hand and said.
“Let’s go inside.”
“yes.”
It’s a chilly day in the middle of the day.
Elric returned home walking through the bare wheat fields with Tyria adjusting his collar.
From noble mtl dot com
Familiar users, familiar atmosphere and familiar smells.
Even those who want to get used to it.
In a more welcome mood, Elric finished his journey,
-Kasha!!!
I had a nightmare for a long time.
*
“Huh!”
Jumping Elric got out of bed.
The staggered outstretched hand pointed at the dagger that had died the day it was on the shelf next to the bed.
When I hold the coolly cooled lump of iron in my arms, my breath slowly returns.
Elric let out a long breath, wiping off cold sweat.
The dream was still as vivid as reality.
‘It’s been a while.’
when was it
The dream, as vivid as reality, made my stomach churn.
‘… 3 years ago? No, four years ago?’
I don’t remember very well.
It was just a clear picture of what happened that day.
It was the day he stood on the front line of Chebor and blocked Calbaran’s soldiers.
An infantry unit attacked him, and somewhere there was a child soldier.
-Kasha!!!
A venomous cry, clumsy swordsmanship, and fading breath.
What hung over the boy soldier’s face was resentment.
The only reason the boy’s face was memorable was because of the sword he was holding.
The scars on the boy’s sword were made by himself.
It wasn’t made that day, but it was an old scar that was presumably made a long time ago on another battlefield.
There is something special about the battlefield.
It was not difficult to see that the boy might be the son of someone he had previously killed.
I could have denied it.
He could have passed it off, saying that all wars are like that.
Even so, Elric has not yet been able to do so.
The resentment that the boy vomited as he died was occasionally appearing as a nightmare like this.
– Master, did you cough?
Elric closed his eyes tightly and controlled his mind.
The answer came later.
“… i want to wash Please make some preparations.”
Lately, I don’t have nightmares, so I thought everything was fine, but in the end, that’s probably not the case.
but,
-Yes, I will pass it on to the madam.
Haven’t you had time to be away from Tyria lately?
When I was with her, I had other strange feelings, and when I fell asleep with her at close range, I didn’t have nightmares because I was paying attention to her sleeping habits.
When I think of Tyria’s face, I feel more at ease.
Elric let out a small laugh.
For some reason, I felt like I wanted to face her soon.
*
The Portmans’ breakfast was still bread, bacon, and eggs.
Why does it feel like it’s been a while since I put it on the table and sit face to face?
“Good morning.”
When I said that, Tyria replied.
“Did you sleep well last night?”
It’s been a long time since I slept alone, so I had a nightmare.
Why don’t you say that? Elric made up a lie.
“As expected, the house seems to be the best. I almost overslept.”
“Yes, I did too.”
“Are you serious?”
“… .”
“Your wife is always joking.”
Tyria was embarrassed.
Judging by the slightly drooping eyebrows and the reaction of the gaze falling below the oblique line, it was like that.
“… Were you not having fun?”
is this a shame
Tyria’s hand was moving busily for no reason.
Elric replied with a deep smile as he felt cute for some reason.
“It was a little fun.”
Answering, Elric started eating.
The conversation in the middle of the day was about what to do from today and the food to be released to the villagers in time for the beginning of the year.
One more was added to it.
“I’m thinking of making a knights.”
“huh?”
“Didn’t the head of the family say you would need it?”
“ah… I told you so.”
“We had a good harvest this year and the transaction was completed, so we have quite a bit of money left. I thought I could recruit one or two people.”
Did he just remember everything he said with the words he spilled?
Elric suddenly felt grateful for her kindness.
And I felt a little enthusiasm welling up inside me.
“Can I take care of that?”
“yes?”
“Concerning the Templars, I know a little. Oh that… Did you ever say becoming a knight was your dream when you were young?”
“… yes.”
“I made sure I did my research.”
Of course, that wasn’t the only reason, but it was only natural that he was better at creating the Knights than she was.
Anyway, hadn’t he encountered most of the powerful knights in the Western War Zone?
It was an opportunity to show that Elric, who is not very good at Yeongji, can do well.
“Is that okay?”
After repeating the question, Tyria nodded quietly.
“… Yes, you do.”
“Thank you!”
Elric’s heart filled with joy.
Elric quickly finished his meal, jumped up, gave a rough greeting to Tyria, and went straight out.
Left alone, Tyria blinked her eyes, then burst into a small laugh.
It was because of the thought that the young Elric suddenly looked overlapping.
*
order.
One of the faces that reveals the strength and dignity of Yeongji, not just the person in charge of protecting Yeongji.
As such, of course, the skills must be outstanding, and the appearance and discipline must also be proud of to others.
When I put off that point, there was an undesirable aspect of finding talented people in Wibin right away.
It was also natural that the process would be difficult since they were recruited from outside.
Amman says firearms have developed, but isn’t an article an article?
Being a talented person who can handle mana is considered precious, so the ransom is very high.
In the meantime, a fortunate thing happened.
To be precise, only Elric was fortunate.
“Are you all gathered? five… Quite a small number for one branch.”
“haha… I am sorry that I did not live up to your expectations.”
“Well, no. Even if there are too many people, it will make your wife suspicious.”
Wolyeong, the messenger of the west.
Among them, Danal, a man who was the head of the Ferdin branch, spat out curses in his heart.
‘Which rhythm is it to match!’
It was just a few weeks ago that he entrusted himself to Kasha when the head office was sacked and the branch collapsed.
It was five days ago that I came to Wibin in this village where there is nothing to see under his orders.
When he finally faced Kasha, Danal shed tears inwardly.
‘I thought I’d just do chores… .’
Do you suddenly write an article?
To think that they should become the new knights of the territory, not the existing knights.
It’s fine until there.
but… .
‘Why is the salary so low!’
Wolbong is a small amount of money that only newly appointed knights would receive.
Yeong-ji’s pocket situation is like that, so why don’t you stop receiving articles?
Why do you insist on enlisting all five of them as knights?
Was this choice really right?
It was in the middle of the day that Danal was filled with resentment.
“Do you have any disagreements?”
“I will do my best!”
Danal shouted, driven by his survival instinct.
So did the subordinates.
Only then did Kasha smile contentedly.
“Please. Shall we name our knights first?”
“yeah!!!”
Danal hated Kasha.
