Chapter 267
My Villains Episode 267
51. truth, farewell(9)
Ugh.
The dream gate returned me and Ellen to the room we came from. And then, as if it had done its job, it disappeared in an instant..
A gloomy afternoon with snow and wind knocking on the window. The son-in-law was quiet as if nothing had happened..
“••••••trunnion.”
Wiping her tear-covered face with her sleeve, Ellen stretched out her hand toward me. A trembling hand grasped the hem of the tunic..
“I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't do it on purpose..”
“ Ellen.”
“Really. I tried to scare, just scare. I didn't mean to kill you.”
“stop. stop.”
I held his hand and shook my head quietly..
“Either you killed it or it died because of you.”
He looked down into his blue eyes and said emphatically:.
“In the end, Daria died. you have to take responsibility.”
Ellen pursed her lips, wiping her eyes and closing her mouth..
“perhaps… … . Maybe it's me.”
I muttered softly and wiped away his tears..
“If only I had paid a little more attention to my surroundings... … . Then you could have prevented that terrible thing..”
“No, you. no, i-”
As my palm touched her cheek, Ellen gently grabbed my hand. And looked up at me with sad eyes.
“I'll wait... … I misjudged. Because I'm so angry and blinded by jealousy,”
“I've always been like that.”
“......uh?”
“I always……
After choosing my words for a moment, I opened my mouth again..
“Yeah, I brought misfortune.”
“fire, row?”
“huh. Even people who lived happily without any problems ended up in bad situations whenever they got involved with me. A nephew, a senior, two fathers, a girlfriend... … . everything.”
“Poi, what does that mean?,”
“At first I thought I was just unlucky. But since it happened two or three times, I vaguely understood it. There's something wrong with me.”
“That's nonsense. Poi, I-”
To Ellen, who narrowed her brows and stammered something, I continued speaking with a sigh..
“we shouldn't be together.”
“no. Poi, no..”
“go to the palace.”
“please, i, forgive me.”
“••••••forgiveness?”
Ellen grabbed my wrist and gently pushed me away..
“No, Ellen. “This is not that kind of problem.” "what?”
“The fact that Daria died is sad, and the fact that it was you who killed her is so painful and angry that I can't bear it.……
I felt choked, so I cleared my throat for a moment and continued speaking..
“I have no right to criticize you.”
Since when did it start? I gave up counting how many people I killed..
The last time I counted it was roughly two months ago, when there were around 200 people. Most of them were murderers, thugs, and thieves, but there were also many innocent people..
Yes, I am a dog with poop all over my body. Who would criticize on such a topic?.
“Also, I am not the one you need to ask for forgiveness from. Dead Daria.”
Ellen couldn't even answer and just sobbed..
I briefly kissed her forehead, which had a sweet, refreshing scent. As I buried the tip of my nose between my hair, the faint scent of lime filled my heart..
“go to the palace.”
“trunnion.”
“For us... … I need time. You need to get yourself back, I need you
Gotta figure out a way to kill it.”
“I've always been me, and you still protect me well enough.”
“no. It's not like that..”
“that's right. That's right......
Ellen burst into tears again, holding on to her tunic and blaming me..
“That's right, *sigh* please. please don't do this.”
“ Ellen.”
“The palace, the palace at that, has no meaning without you, if you abandon me like this, like this-”
“ Ellen.”
I brushed up his bangs and this time placed my lips on his bare forehead..
“How could I abandon you.”
“trunnion.”
“I'm not asking you to pay anything or punishing you. Because I have no right to judge you. It's just a necessary step.”
“but, but.”
“stop.”
It was hard to watch Ellen cry..
“This is the best I can do.”
I kissed his forehead again and stood up..
“......trunnion?”
“get ready to leave.”
Ellen's shoulders trembled..
I tried to disguise my gaze as calm..
“Before Utequoi returns... I'll leave here in five days..”
“what? why,”
“I don't think he'll understand.”
He wet his lips and spoke in a firm voice..
“That you, blinded by jealousy, killed Daria.”
Ellen pursed her lips and lowered her head. For a moment, he looked up at me with empty eyes..
“Po, this.”
Holding back the urge to hug him and comfort him, I finally left the room..
I want to be alone. I want to get drunk.
I felt embarrassed because it was the first time in my life that I had these thoughts at the same time..
However, on the other hand, I thought it was a natural thing. One day, I learned that a woman with whom I had a deep affection had been killed by the child I cherished the most..
I left the guild hall alone..
I set out without knowing my destination, but Modos is a small castle town that is always there no matter where I go..
While wandering around the street without thinking, a bar caught my eye and I went there. Although I was wearing an oiled fur cape and a hood, I could see a few eyes that seemed to recognize me..
Well, it can't be helped. Even if you cover your face with a shadow, you can't hide your physique..
I paid no mind and took a seat in a corner of the bar. It was the part where the wall bent under the landing. I really liked it because people didn't notice it..
“Um, what do you need, sir??”
When young Jung No-mi asked in a polite manner, I smiled bitterly..
“……Simple snacks and drinks.”
“Ah, yes. I'll order it soon.”
As he was about to turn around, I stopped him and handed him a silver coin..
“I'm going to drink quietly alone, so don't worry about anything..”
“Wow. Yes, Nari. So that you don't have to worry about anything,”
“Stop that damn thing..”
“Ah, yep.”
The bar located on the outskirts of Sanghoe Street was a shabby place where porters, laborers, and garrison soldiers came and went. Still, perhaps thanks to the recent resumption of commercial traffic, the food and drinks weren't too bad..
Like I said to Nomi Jung, I just shut up and drank..
This damned body has a very strong liver, so it can't be drunk as it pleases. I used to think that my strong resistance to alcohol was a great advantage, but today I feel resentful..
Still, is it because I poured it in with intention? I'm slowly getting drunk.
I tried to drive away the drunkenness by burning alcohol with my unruly blood, but even this was suppressed with just a little attention..
Where did it all go wrong? Why did we face this catastrophe??
I know that blaming myself won't be the answer, but if I ask myself this, I end up realizing that I was the one who started everything. As I thought about that, my appetite got sour that I took a sip of the alcohol..
Is it the right decision to send Ellen away alone? Could this be the beginning of another catastrophe??
Even though I tried to wrap my head around it, I couldn't come up with an answer, so I took a drink..
Ellen and I were together. Ever since right after I fell into this world. To someone who didn't know me, it would have seemed like he was leaning unilaterally on me, but I think I also depended a lot on Ellen mentally..
But it was hard to imagine traveling without Ellen, so I drank..
Slowly, the world began to spin.
A bundle came. The guy started his story by saying he was sorry and said, 'From now on, I'll listen to you carefully-' and started crying..
You're crying again. My heart is heavy because it seems like all the tears shed around me come from me..
Thinking about that, I narrowed my brows and sighed, and the guy who was looking at me with his lips flowing said 'Ugh' and started crying..
I thought that bundle was cute, so I comforted it by giggling. Then, I went down the stairs and lay down in the guest room, leaning on the shoulder of the whimpering guy..
After a long time, I fell asleep holding the bundle in my arms. Although it didn't feel as fluffy as before, it was still warm and soft. It was the same as putting my mouth on the white skin above my belly button and blowing on it, making me feel happy..
Steedman, Mira, and Cole came to visit..
I'm starting to get worried. Seriously, I'm not a kid, so what's the big fuss over me having only been drinking for two days?.
The look in their eyes, that is, the look in their eyes that said, ‘Oh my gosh, what should I do with this guy?’ made me so angry that I drank. A journey that started from their hometowns of Southernshire, Lidburn, and Longville, and continued through Trosher and Gistol to Modos, gratitude for picking up poor village mercenaries, gratitude for following orders without complaint, and a chance for reunion. Won and others became snacks and came to the table..
Steedman, who loved to drink, was talking nonsense with veins standing on his bald head, and Mira, who was tone-deaf, was humming an incomprehensible tune with half-opened eyes. Even Cole, who was so pale, turned red and started talking nonsense like, 'I need to train, but I train in the evening.'.
The guys walked back to the guild hall with their arms around each other's shoulders and squealing..
dripping.
I blinked my dry eyes at the sound of a knock on the door. My head was pounding and I was struggling to fall asleep again, when someone knocked on the door again..
Are you mad at my laziness? The unknown visitor knocked harder. When the clanking sound became closer to a bang, I groaned and got out of bed..
When I opened the door, a small figure dressed in a robe was standing in front of me. Even without seeing the face, I was able to recognize the visitor's identity just by the faint scent of lime..
I tried to close the door, but Ellen was quick to put her shoulder on the door jamb. There was nothing I couldn't do if I wanted to push it away, but those big, watery eyes took the strength out of my grip..
The guy was in tears, pretending to be logical and talking nonsense..
The strange sound of being ready but not ready, the petty threat that he would die before his eyes if he wanted Jeong to die, the evil muttering that he couldn't leave like this, the flowing robes..
Watery blue eyes and slightly quivering pink lips filled the blurred vision. I swallowed my breath and saliva at the scent of flowers wafting with every step I took. I hugged him by the waist and closed the door..
Early morning three days later. A golden plate was installed in the backyard of the Guildhall. The golden plate was covered with all kinds of materials, giving it a mysterious glow..
Steedman, Mira, Kol, Simos, Saitz, and Hagni stood in front of him with nervous expressions. Ellen, who appeared late, glanced at the group and then looked up at me..
Ellen said nothing..
There was no declaration that he would return, no whisper that he would miss him, or even an apology of apology. There were many emotions in his eyes, but nothing came out of his mouth..
It was the same for me too. I faced him quietly..
Eventually, the dimension door opened..
Ellen looked at me for a moment and then disappeared beyond the dimly lit passageway. The other six immediately followed him..
Where the portal disappeared, there was only a golden plate that had lost its light..
okay. Ellen has left.
