Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 109

I slept well and opened my eyes when the clear morning sky and sunlight were showing off their presence through the window..

Even though it was only a day after all that hardship, I felt as if I had fallen asleep soundly for the first time in a week, and as I looked around, I saw Asilier sleeping in the same room after unfolding the cot..

I wondered if he was still sleeping, but judging by the way his long ears were moving, I think he woke up when he heard me moving..

"Uhmmm. Eddie, wake up?"

"huh. I thought you would wake me up after the story, but I guess you left me alone.."

"No matter how much the wound has healed, you can't wake the patient up to talk. It wasn't even a big story.."

"...really?"

"Sister doesn't lie. Let’s wash and get ready. Esmuer and Ragnis must have been disappointed that they couldn't talk to you yesterday.."

Unlike yesterday, when the weather was strangely hot, I feel reassured because it seems like they are treating me in a friendly way, but I am anxious because I have no idea what kind of conversation was going on while I was sleeping..

However, Asilier did not pay any attention to my anxiety and rang the bell in the room, and asked the person who opened the door to tell the two people that I had woken up, and began to make a very difficult effort to wake up, and anyway, Since I couldn't run away from this situation, I also started lightly washing my face and brushing my teeth with water prepared by another employee..

Asilier had a lot of sleep in the morning, but unlike usual, she only woke up after lying down for a while, probably because she was nervous in various ways because she was worried about me, so she came to her senses in an instant and started washing her face. Starting with straightening her hair, it was certain that it would take a little more time, so after changing into clean clothes in the meantime, she decided to wait outside until Asilier finished getting her ready..

The hallway that caught my eye as soon as I left the room was plain and undecorated, but there was a flag hanging there that clearly looked like the family crest, which helped me guess that this was a nobleman's mansion. There weren't even many windows, so it felt like I was inside a military barracks rather than a mansion..

I was amazed at the style I had never seen before, so I walked a little to the window, stuck my head out, and saw that the outside was a city that strangely reminded me of Ogwen..

The scenery of the city, with mountains on one side and plains on the other, clearly focused on being sturdy, unlike the capital city with its splendid architectural style, seemed to indicate that this was a fortress city on the frontier like Ogwen or a city located in the border area..

Hmm, the princess came to such a city. There must have been an uproar.

"What are you looking at??"

While I was admiring the unique cityscape, where there was almost no distinction between the parade ground and the city streets, Asilier, who had finished preparing, crossed her arms and asked:.

"The lord of a local city, reminiscent of Ogwen, was assessing the chaos that must have occurred yesterday.."

"Hehehe. A lord running around with servants in heavy rain is not an easy sight to see.."

It was a pretty heavy downpour. Expressing deep condolences for a lord whose face she did not even know, she moved as Asilier led her and arrived at the mansion's restaurant..

Should I say that it is rather plain, not unlike a nobleman's mansion? It wasn't cheap, but it felt like saving money, so I sat down and admired the interior, which I quite liked. Asilier, who was sitting across from me, opened her mouth, tying her hair, which had not been tied up yet, into ponytails like usual..

"The story I had with these two people yesterday was simple. The goal was to present the main premise that no one should interfere with L.D. by putting their own emotions first, and for everyone to agree on it. Of course that includes me.."

But the story that came out like that was something very different from what I expected from the beginning..

"Actually, before the story came out, we took some time to understand each other's intentions... Well, what's the difference? To be honest, what I was most worried about was Esmueh, but contrary to my worries, he was smarter. Should I say that he is a person who is being mentioned as the next emperor? At least I knew that my feelings for you weren't just temporary entertainment.."

weird? Apparently, I heard Asilier say I loved her yesterday and I responded that I loved her.?

Why does this conversation sound like they took the time to get to know other women??

"Oh, honestly, I never thought such a story would come out now.."

I was anxious that if I left something out, the conversation would continue in a situation I didn't understand, so I decided to take my luck by cutting her off for now..

"huh? why?"

"It's as if the conversation was based on the premise of maintaining this relationship.."

"That's right?"

Asilier responded with a blank expression, as if it was so obvious, that I actually had no idea how to react..

Asilier shrugged her shoulders at me and casually dropped a bombshell..

"Even if I can’t do it, I can feed two or three wives.?"

"Sister, wait a minute...."

What did I just hear? Two or three wives? Aside from being the princess of a country and a margrave, the senses are very different, right??

"I'm not talking about polygamy too suddenly.?"

"The kids are all taking that into account, too. It was a question of who would be first."

"yes?"

Just me...anyone else? uh? It's not. My parents were monogamous and so were the villagers? Because he’s a noble? Are you accepting it because you have a concubine? However, I don't think it's a story that Asilier can easily accept, as it's a story between Esmueh and Ragnis.?

"Elves are polygamous?"

"Monogamy."

"No, but why do we take it so naturally? It's hard for me to accept it too?"

"Because I love L.D.?"

I was a little embarrassed by the sudden attack, but I had to say what I had to say. No matter how hard she tried to think about it, it was something she couldn't easily understand..

"That's...a really nice story, but shouldn't that be hard to accept? I say I love my sister, but that doesn't mean I don't mind sharing these feelings with another man.?"

"To explain that part, the four of us need to eat together and talk.."

When I turned my head, I saw Esmueh and Ragnis entering the restaurant. Ragnis, who was making a pouty expression while looking at Esmuye and Asilier, who were smiling slightly at me, seemed oddly distant..

"What should we do if you start talking already when we are not there?."

"hmm? I was just talking about what we talked about yesterday.."

Perhaps it was because of the content of the conversation they were about to have, but they came in without a single person accompanying them and naturally sat down with Asilier between them..

"I feel relieved to see that you are healthy after all the hardships you went through yesterday. Yeodo, Ragnis too, has been rewarded for his hard work.."

"Although it was an unavoidable situation, I felt like my heart was sinking. I guess I should at least give them some kind of helpful magic tool.."

"It seems that the main cause of the injury was magic, so it seems like a magic tool with a protection magic would be good.."

Then, really casually, we started sharing my story as if the three of us were chatting leisurely..

It's really nice to see three beautiful women sitting and having a conversation... I couldn't figure out what was going on, even though it was an impossible situation within my common sense..

In the end, while I was just staring at the three people in confusion, unable to do anything, Ragnis saw me and slowly continued explaining..

"Um, Eldmia? This is like a temporary alliance.."

"alliance...?"

"A temporary alliance to prevent Eldmia from dying until he completes his purpose.."

For a moment, I was shocked as if someone had hit me on the back of the head with a hammer and was at a loss for words, but either way, Esmuye naturally took Ragnis' words and explained..

"It is just as Ragnis said. Your purpose... is not light at all. I can't stop it because I understand how important it is in your life, but I also can't ignore the threat of my loved one's death.."

Meanwhile, it's just a waste of time for the three of us to fight over who will have my heart..

Even though he had told Asilier that he loved her yesterday, Esmuye had made them on equal terms by claiming that the reason she could not reject her confession and Ragnis' confession was because she had feelings for him..

Therefore, after achieving the goal of revenge, which is the cause of the hesitation and the biggest immediate threat, it is necessary to have a detailed and full-scale conversation in a more relaxed situation..

That was the conclusion the three women came to after talking while I was sleeping last night..

"So you just have to focus on achieving your goal as you have been doing so far. Because this love fight starts after that."

That's how we discussed it. After finishing the report by saying, Esmuer rang the bell on the table to bring out the prepared food..

"If you didn't mind seeing L.D. with another woman, would you have felt jealous yesterday? It's just that... she had no choice but to agree because the two people's story was reasonable enough and her feelings for L.D. were not false.."

Meanwhile, Asilier smiled as usual as she gave me a belated answer to the question I asked earlier, and the same was true for Esmuët and Ragnis..

That much seemed to be their consensus that I couldn't understand..

I was grateful for their consideration and love, but I couldn't help but think that it wasn't a trivial story like Asilier had said in the morning... but in the end, I couldn't find anything else to say and could only pass down the food served by the workers..
