My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields - My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields chapter 79

#14 Crossroads (8)

The Portmans’ mansion was in a state of chaos due to the sudden explosion.

In the meantime, fortunately, no one lost their lives in an unexpected accident.

In fact, it was possible because the Seolyeong Knights handled the accident with a quick response.

Everyone in the mansion knew that.

It was because the knights piled up the corpse of the assailant wearing a stealth suit in the garden.

“Hey, what is this… .”

Aldio muttered in a bewildered tone.

The servants in the garden stared at the mountain of corpses, clinging to each other with frightened faces.

“Hey, hey, vice-captain. What the hell is going on?”

“As you can see, it’s an assault. We’ve roughly finished organizing, so calm down the servants first.”

Ricky made the most chivalrous expression as he spoke, but the servants could hardly calm down.

The reasons were varied.

There was a feeling of surprise at an attack that he had never experienced before, a feeling of astonishment at seeing raw corpses piled up, and a feeling of anxiety that he might be attacked by an unknown assailant who entered the room.

Ricky didn’t know that either.

It was just that the servants gathered in front of the corpse were embarrassed.

It was the moment that even a sigh came out of his mouth.

thud-!

Suddenly, with a roar, a person landed in the garden.

At that moment, space froze.

It was because the person who appeared was a man who was too familiar to them and also a stranger.

“Do, young master… ?”

Aldio said in a suspicious voice.

At that, Elric’s head was raised.

The workers startled and shuddered.

From noble mtl dot com

The thick smell of blood, the stripped belly was wrapped in cloth, and all sorts of hideous wounds and flowing blood were all over the body.

So was the face. The bright red eyes and bloodstained face were a far cry from the Elric Portman they knew.

killer.

It was so hideous that everyone who saw him instinctively thought of that word.

Elric looked up and looked at Ricky.

He was more hardened than the others, and he was walking backwards, trembling with a pale face.

“Go, go… .”

“My wife.”

said Elric in a cracked voice.

“Where is your wife?”

The blood-soaked blade glowed coldly under the moonlight.

Ricky swallowed dry saliva and answered.

“Chi, you’re in the bedroom.”

Elric did not answer.

He just took a few steps towards the front door.

The servants instinctively retreated and made their way, just like the aristocrats at the banquet hall.

No one spoke until he disappeared from sight.

*

Arriving in front of the bedroom, Elric paused.

I felt two signs inside.

be used to. One for Tyria, one for Danal.

Since I was standing still, I opened the door from the inside first.

“Oh, are you here?”

Danal bowed his head deeply.

“M-Madam wants to go outside. Now, now, pass out for a while… ordered… .”

Elric’s gaze was fixed on Tyria.

Elric, who understood the cause and effect of the words he heard, tapped Danal on the shoulder.

Every time, Danal is hik! Hick! It made a noise, but I didn’t pay attention to it.

“Good job. Would you mind stepping aside for a moment?”

“Yes, yep!”

Danal disappeared without a sound.

Elric closed the door.

Tyria was on the bed with her eyes closed.

I felt a little uneasy.

Anxiety about what to do if you can’t breathe.

“… ma’am.”

voiced

As I approached, I saw that my heart was beating under the dim lighting.

Only in that moment did Elric feel relieved.

It was for this reason that the body fell apart.

dump-

Barely leaning back on the bed, Elric let out a long breath.

I express my gratitude to the God who is questionable even if he exists.

As soon as the raging anxiety faded, the pain overtook him.

While enduring it with a frown, I naturally think about my teacher.

He was the situation, the sword emperor.

He raised himself for a purpose.

There was something that came to mind before such fragmented information.

‘… I didn’t use my hands directly.’

I couldn’t find any trace of him until I came here from Yubin Street through the village.

Contrary to what he had promised, he only used the means of Wolyeong, and it was clear that he had not come near Wibin.

It is not strange that Wol-yeong moved because she saw in the newspaper that Disha was put under the situation.

Just one thing to realize.

‘… Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter A land like this.’

In one way or another, he has finally achieved his goal.

His purpose was to lead himself into battle.

If Wolyeong had destroyed all of Wibin, he would have headed to the battlefield for revenge.

I blocked it, but after pulling out the sword myself, I revealed that I was Kashay, so I couldn’t remain here like before.

It was a situation that couldn’t be rational, so I have no regrets.

But my heart felt like it was being torn apart.

Elric raised his hand.

full of blood

His nose was already paralyzed by the scent of blood.

If you look up, you can see the pure white Tyria.

I couldn’t bear to stretch out my hand.

The moment he confirmed himself, Elric felt something split apart.

‘ah… .’

Suddenly Elric burst into laughter.

Even while doing so, his expression was contorted in a ferocious manner.

It was an expression that would be correct to say that the incontinence carved on the face happened to be in the shape of a smile.

A realization arose.

‘This is why it was frustrating.’

Ever since I decided to stay at Wibin, I felt uncomfortable somewhere inside.

It felt like there was a thorn in my throat, and whenever I tried to turn away from the battlefield, my whole body felt itchy and stinging.

I’ve always wondered why, but the identity was regret.

‘I shouldn’t have come here from the beginning.’

I couldn’t have found this place with bloody hands, feet, and steps.

It only leads to the result of giving this land as prey to wolves who are attracted by the scent of blood.

Will this be the end?

No, to be sure, this is the beginning.

Somehow, rumors will spread.

If you remain here, many people who remember the Sword Demon Kasha will aim for Wi-Bin.

Even if you block them, the unstoppable will aim for this place once again.

-Leave everything you carried on your back. Forge only the intent to kill. Come, I will wait on the throne.

Again, all he wanted was for himself to return to the battlefield.

There was no law that the next time would be as lenient as it is now.

‘De facto hostage.’

Wibin and Tyria were alive, but they were already dead.

It will continue to do so as long as you are here.

Elric sat down and hugged his head.

My head was so hot that I scratched my scalp.

I thought about grinding this.

Where did it go wrong?

What did you decide to do as a permanent lord?

Are you in love with her?

What came back to Wibin before that?

‘no.’

It wasn’t.

There was a more fundamental problem than that.

Elric finally gave an answer.

It was the answer I knew from the beginning, but turned away.

‘… Ever since I left for the battlefield.’

This whole matter went wrong from there.

It was then that Elric Portman, who missed this place, was no longer Elric Portman.

Suddenly, tears flowed.

It was tears that could not flow cleanly and were soaked in blood.

It stained the floor red.

‘I am… .’

Maybe I was living in an illusion.

The illusion that if you come here, you can go back to those days.

Today’s work marked the end of such an illusion.

Now that she realizes, Kasha shouldn’t miss Wibin.

Don’t miss the idyllic scenery, laid-back atmosphere and golden wheat fields.

You shouldn’t miss the sound of laughter, people’s body temperature, and a warm table.

You shouldn’t have the heart that you love someone and want to stay by their side.

Even then, he couldn’t be Elric Portman.

It was just a sword demon kasha imitating Elric Portman.

Elric Portman and Kasha, the Sword Demon, had already become very different people.

“Huh… .”

Elric covered his face.

Nothing seems to have changed.

I just struggled to live on for 10 years, but everything had changed.

Admitting that fact made me feel like something inside of me was breaking down.

While breathing heavily, Elric found Tyria sleeping quietly through the gap between her hands.

It is also very new.

Looking at it, Elric suddenly felt a sense of dread.

always lived to die

I’ve lived to take away, and I’ve also lived to throw away.

so I didn’t know

The anxiety that you might lose something precious drives people so crazy.

Just imagining that I would destroy the things I love with my own hands gave me a distant fear.

What if the day comes to see her dead body alive?

The moment the thought soared, the decision stood right away.

I was able to do that only after slipping like this.

‘ah… .’

I had to leave.

What I thought was a fork in the road was a single road with only one side open in the first place.

Elric’s expression collapsed.
