The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away - Chapter 206
206 – 73. Raise me (1)
“Woof! Woof woof!”
Several dogs barked or whined as if they were startled.
Judah and Elijah stroked and comforted him.
“Oh, it’s okay, it’s okay. “That’s right.”
I was surprised because I was not familiar with Elijah’s teleportation.
She quickly checked out a few of the ranches where she raises her sheep, and had just brought the dogs to one of them.
I brought Yuel with me out of fear that she would be upset, but Yuel was not as surprised as before, thanks to her experience with teleportation.
“Oh my, you’re so kind.”
The spotted birds soon regained their composure and began to look around.
Then Judah and Elijah also checked the ranch.
“Wow….”
Elijah was purely amazed.
It was a different feeling of green than the grassland I saw with Judah.
A wide pasture located on a flat area in an alpine area.
Light green grass was spread along the gentle hills that rose and fell.
Hundreds of sheep were scattered here and there, eating the grass.
Because it was a high place, the sky and clouds seemed close.
“Oh….”
Judas was also amazed and admired the scenery.
Her heart feels refreshed when she sees the vast nature.
I really like that feeling.
Furthermore, seeing fluffy sheep peacefully grazing here and there made me feel cool and generous at the same time.
“Your Majesty! It’s an honor to meet you… !”
The ranch manager rushed out.
He looked like a typical shepherd, wearing a straw hat and leather boots caked with dirt.
“I am very sorry to be greeted in such a shabby manner… !”
“That’s enough.”
Elijah briefly said, “Don’t worry.”
Still speaking briefly to everyone except Judah.
“I’m so sorry… !”
The dark-bearded man bowed his waist, trembling.
Judas felt a little sorry.
‘How surprised I must have been to see the emperor and his wife come to a ranch like this out of nowhere. ‘I didn’t come with bad intentions.’
Myself and Elijah came here purely to have fun.
Still, there seems to be a need to relax.
“But is it really okay for us to use it as we please? “There must be a separate rancher who has the authority to make decisions, but I wonder if he gave permission without permission.”
The man’s heart became lighter.
The emperor’s wife, Judah.
He is famous for his benevolent government policy that does not treat even his subordinates carelessly.
Although Judah felt burdened by the evaluation of his benevolence, he took advantage of it when it was necessary.
Like now.
“You can speak comfortably.”
“Yes, yes…” ! Thank you So, the ranch owner left decision-making authority over the ranch while I was working, so yes. It’s okay.”
“Then I’m glad.”
“The fact that you two visited us is an honor that this ranch will never have again. On the contrary, you will be happy!”
Judah was relieved by the honest answer.
“This is my first time going to a place like this. Can I ask you to guide me?”
The shepherd quickly answered Judas’ request.
“We will serve you with all the honor of our family!”
I wanted to say there was no need to go that far, but I decided to just let him do his best.
We had to control the dogs before receiving guidance.
Because they are still young, they often act unruly.
But there is a way to control it.
“The king point. “You just have to follow along.”
Judah gave the mother dog some jerky and stroked it.
Puppies follow their mother dog and imitate her behavior.
Sometimes the mother dog gets scolded.
In the end, if you handle the mother dog, the rest of the pups will follow.
“Woof!”
The clever sheepdog understood what he meant and answered vigorously.
Elijah looked happily at her wagging her tail and stroked her head.
“Then let’s leave now.”
“Yes!”
The male shepherd took the lead, followed by Judah and Elijah.
Yuel’s reins were held by Judah, and spotted dogs followed around as if they were wandering around.
“On this ranch, about 500 sheep are grazed and raised. “We let them out during the day and bring them into the barn when it’s time to sleep.”
“Is that what herding dogs do?”
Elijah asked.
“Yes, Your Majesty. It is much faster and easier to leave it to the dog rather than having a person lead it one by one. “Your Majesty said you wanted to see the palace dogs you brought here herding sheep today, right?”
“Yes.”
“Those dogs are very smart. “Better than people.”
“But they have never herded sheep before…” .”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Sheepdogs have an innate instinct to herd and handle sheep. “We have a few sheep on our ranch, and they understand the language and drive the sheep without any training.”
Today, the existing shepherd dogs were urgently returned to the barn for the dogs of the imperial palace.
“I’m glad that’s the case…. However, wool is more stringy than I thought.”
The sheep that Elijah imagined was either pure white or, like her horse, a creature with ivory fur.
Moreover, the only wool that Elijah saw in person was wool that had been processed into fabric.
However, the actual fur of living sheep was closer to gray.
There was no impression that it was clean at all.
It was even messy in some places.
In particular, the buttocks area was particularly dark in color.
“I’m sorry… !”
“… Huh?”
He didn’t mean to scold Elijah, but the shepherd took Elijah’s words as a rebuke.
Judas spoke in a hurry.
“I’m not trying to blame you, it’s just because I saw it for the first time.”
“Yes, yes…” .”
Elijah felt a strange feeling as he looked at the sheep.
‘It’s dirty, but it’s also cute and furry…. ‘It’s so strange.’
She walked for a few minutes and was guided by a shepherd.
Slowly, the range in which the dogs can run around and play has expanded.
The mother dog seemed to have reached her limit.
From noble mtl dot com
Looking at the flock of sheep and lowering my posture, it seemed as if I would jump out at any moment.
“Yes, yes, I must have been bored.”
Judah stroked her head and asked.
“Can I just drive in the direction of that barn?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Did you hear? “It’s over there.”
When I pointed to a large livestock barn, Wangjeom glanced in that direction.
She seems already excited, sticking out her tongue and panting.
The eyes, waiting for her command, looked up at Judah.
Judah grinned and shouted briefly.
“Run!”
Before I could finish speaking, the dog shot out like an arrow.
The puppies quickly followed the mother dog as she ran away.
Although he grew up well, he was still young and could not keep up with the mother dog’s speed.
Elijah put her arm around Judah and she watched what they were doing.
Judah smiled at the warmth of her arms and followed Elijah to her dogs.
A mother dog nimbly runs across the field and approaches the flock of sheep.
Then the sheep began to move.
He runs away in a huff, as if running away.
“Wow, what is it? “We’re gathering.”
Judas said with admiration.
Just as he said, the sheep ran towards one point and naturally gathered together as if forming a flock.
“The dog collects it.”
Elijah said.
Just as she said, the dog was trying to get the sheep to gather together.
They picked a random center point among the scattered sheep and ran around the area, gathering them into one point.
The shepherd quietly added a word from the side.
“It looks like that mother dog has experience herding sheep. “You’re skilled.”
The puppies followed the mother dog and helped.
Judah and Elijah even looked clumsy.
Something like a running posture or natural movement of herding sheep.
Still, he imitated his mother dog and busily participated in herding sheep.
Soon, dozens of sheep had formed a flock.
At the back of the flock, the mother dog lowered her posture as if threatening and herded the sheep.
Directly toward the barn.
The startled sheep run away.
Puppies were running on both sides, their ears flapping.
The idea is to keep the sheep on display so that no sheep strays from the herd.
The scene was truly rare and majestic.
It was truly spectacular.
Several dogs herding dozens of sheep.
It was like commanding the clouds.
When the time comes, the curly clouds run hastily and enter the fence leading to the livestock barn.
“… ….”
Judah and Elijah were spellbound by the amazing sight.
The dog family stood guard around the entrance until the last one entered.
And finally the first group entered.
Puppies came running towards Judah and Elijah, who were just looking at them blankly.
The panting, smiling face was full of desire for praise.
Judah and Elijah hurriedly squatted down and petted the puppies.
“Wow, you did a great job, I’m so proud.”
Judas praised him and stroked him roughly.
Elijah didn’t say anything to her, but he couldn’t hide his pride and admiration for her smiling face.
“Oh my, it’s so hot after running. My body is so fiery. “I’m excited, I’m excited.”
“It’s amazing…. “How can you imitate something you’ve never tried before?”
That’s not all.
For Elijah, the fact that an animal could control and lead another animal in accordance with human purposes and commands was incredibly difficult.
Isn’t he a very superior intelligence in a different way than Yuel, who can communicate?
‘No, this is genius. He is a genius among dogs. No matter how instinctive it is that you can do it without any additional training, it is impossible to do it this easily without talent.’
Elijah fell in love with the idea that her dogs were geniuses.
After being petted and praised for a while, the puppies ran away again.
Gathering the sheep together and herding them into the barn was repeated.
Sometimes they went quite far, so Judah and Elijah followed them while riding Yuel.
Elijah spoke in Judah’s arms.
“You look happy.”
Five dogs running excitedly across the field while herding sheep.
I don’t know if they have human-like facial expressions, but they looked like they were smiling.
The brightly shining eyes and the wide-open mouth that seems to be torn apart.
Judas also agreed with that opinion.
“Yes.”
Even when he was playing in the field, he didn’t seem as excited as I was.
“I should bring him here often.”
“Wow. And next time, I hope Mom can see it with me too.”
Judah kissed Elijah’s head in her arms.
“Then.”
Sabagsabag.
Yuel ran at a moderate speed, stepping on the lush grass.
The sun was setting late at night.
The red sunset shone on the dogs running across the pasture, and a cool breeze blew.
It was fall.
*
Elijah pulled her red scarf up to her chin.
It’s fall so it’s cold sometimes.
Especially at the beach.
“Are you cold?”
Still, thanks to Yuda, who is right by her side and taking care of her, she is not very cold.
“A little.”
“Let’s check it quickly and then go back.”
“Hung.”
The two came to a port city.
This fairly large port is an axis of the Bevel Empire’s fishing industry.
It is also an important point where fresh ingredients can be shipped directly to the Beersheba Peninsula.
‘Maybe it’s because it’s a fishing city, but there are more cats than the Beersheba Peninsula.’
A cat that covets fish caught in a fishing net.
A cat squatting on a low pier and splashing in the sea water.
A cat receiving fish from a fisherman.
It’s all over the place.
‘… No. Let’s not get carried away. ‘Because I came to work.’
Elijah still did not forget to visit various cities or supply points unexpectedly to inspect them.
She came for that purpose again today.
‘But the cat…. Cute. I want to touch it.’
Even though I knew I couldn’t do it, I kept looking at it, so my steps faltered.
A bird that you don’t even know about.
Watching her look like that, Judah smiled happily on the inside.
‘It’s so cute I’m dying.’
*
In a seafood warehouse, Judah and Elijah fell apart for a moment.
We decided to split up and check the status of supplies.
It was a painful temporary break that I chose after much deliberation in order to quickly get things done and return home.
Judas quickly took down a section of the warehouse.
‘This looks like fish and shellfish. It’s still hard to get used to the smell of seafood…. There are a lot of cats near this warehouse, so I should ask Ellie to take a look.’
Elijah is like a cat and can’t take his eyes off the cat.
Just thinking about it makes me smile.
I was in the middle of a quick check with a happy heart.
“Judaaa!”
A voice that makes her hair stand on end.
It belonged to Elijah.
‘Ellie?!’
Judas immediately left his seat.
She headed toward the direction from which the sound was heard with the intention of destroying the warehouse.
‘Why? Why Ellie? What happened… !”
And when she finally found Elijah, Judah froze in place.
“Yu, Yuda…” ! Help me!”
She spoke urgently as Elijah trembled with her legs.
Her body seemed frozen, not knowing what to do.
And around her.
“Nyan.”
“Nyaang-.”
“Ae-ae-woong.”
Several cats were surrounding Elijah.
The cats sat on the floor and looked up at Elijah and meowed.
“… ….”
Judah was dazed and only blinked at her.
My heart, which had been beating violently, gradually calmed down.
“I-I’m trapped by these guys…” ! I don’t know how to move! Help me quickly… !”
Judah knows.
The fact that Elijah can’t help her cute object.
She dies so well.
She just doesn’t show it on the outside.
So, the reason why Elijah did that is clear.
With so many cute cats surrounding you, you don’t know what to do.
“Nyan?”
“Muaieng.”
“Miyaang!”
Judas crossed her arms and leaned against her wall.
“Help me quickly… !”
“Just a little longer.”
“W-what does that mean!”
“Because it looks cute. “I’d like to watch a little longer.”
“Ik… !”
While Elijah was struggling with her, her cats moved closer to her.
One of them even went so far as to rub its face against her ankle.
“Ugh, ugh…” .”
Elijah didn’t even know what to do.
Judah watched her happily.
