Chapter 56
My Villains Episode 056
15. The Fools of the Boat Horn Inn(3)
My heart is filled with indescribable emotions..
In Middle World, even if you turn 16, you are considered an adult..
So the current situation, that is, the situation that arose because Ellen, an adult, had feelings for Phoenix, an adult, was not strange at all..
But I am not from this world. I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable emotions that no one in Middle World could understand..
It seems like Poynix, a massacre killer who killed three figures, and Kim Seung-soo, who has the sensibilities of a modern man, are clashing within me..
After a moment of silence, Ellen lifted her head and looked up at me..
The frost that had settled on my face had disappeared before I knew it, and an inexplicable feeling of nervousness had taken its place..
Cowardly, I decided to run away from this problem..
“No matter how you feel, work is work. What should I do if my colleague goes to fight and ends up lying down like that??”
Ellen made a strange expression in response to my question..
Feelings of relief or disappointment quickly disappeared beneath the surface, and calmness returned..
““Why should I do this in the first place?” "what? What do you mean, of course.”
“That's right. I'm not doing this because of your hero mentality either.?”
As I narrowed my eyes in silence, Ellen shot back in a sarcastic tone..
“Did you really enjoy receiving attention from the prince and the castle lord? Or maybe you're a 'bloody prosecutor' and now that you've gained fame, you feel like a real hero.?”
“What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden??”
“We completed the request and handed over the evidence of our identity. Why do you go out and look for dangerous places??”
“That's right……
As I trailed off, Ellen spoke again..
“And, did you forget what we promised? After earning money by doing quests, I saw an opportunity and decided to leave the city and head north! But what is this? After all that hardship, you're trapped in a siege again.!”
“The situation has changed that much. Prince Ulkar has arrived, and soon the army will move to break the siege. If the operation is successful, we will save the city..”
“So what do you get? Would you risk your life just to get a few more gold coins? Who told you not to risk your colleague's life for a few bucks??”
“Now I think I'm doing this for the money?”
“I don't know! What's certain is that you don't care about me. You put yourself in dangerous situations and only care about other people.!”
“what? you—”
my head is hot.
I took a deep sigh to calm my excitement and then asked:.
“Are you serious??”
“what?”
“I put you in danger and I don't care?”
“•••I felt that way.”
“under.”
Ellen probably doesn't mean it either..
Since he's angry, he probably just wants to hurt me in some way. These are probably words you say without thinking much about it..
I understand it rationally, but I can’t accept it emotionally..
“…No.?”
“what.”
“I never tried to put you in danger and I never cared..”
“Whenever there was danger, I tried to protect you at all costs. I always cared about you more than anyone else.”
“ I am.”
“I don't know how you felt. But, really - it wasn't easy. It wasn't easy. When I was Kim Seung-soo, I did things I couldn't even dream of doing as if it were a meal..
“Always thought about you, not me.”
“Actually, I didn't know that would happen either. Throwing up one's life to save someone else is something only firefighters can do. I've never been like that in my life, and I didn't think I'd ever be like that again..”
I poured out the words I had stored in my heart without even knowing what I was talking about..
“Of course, I did it because I was afraid I would regret it. I'm afraid I'll regret it again if I hesitate like a fool. It's not what I wanted you to know. But - the whale didn't want to hear that from you either.?”
“•••me, i,”
Ellen stuttered for a moment, then silently moved her lips and then closed her mouth..
short silence.
I swept my hair once, put on my armored hat, and then put on my helmet..
“Done. I'm tired too.”
“•••what?”
“I'm tired of covering up for you. It's annoying to be selfish, and I hate to see other people treat me like that..”
Oh, I made a mistake..
Ellen and I were no different from throwing sharp words to hurt people..
“My, what do I do?.”
Ellen’s light pink lips trembled..
Even though I knew I should stop, I couldn't let go of my anger. Has my mental age become younger along with my body?.
“What did you do? I ignored them, made fun of them, and treated them like idiots. Like a person determined to ruin other people's mood.”
“•••You said you would be careful. And, it's not intentional, my tone is just.”
“Yes, I guess so. What do I know about you? You say you always contemplate yourself through meditation? “I’m sure you know yourselves.” Ellen's tightly clenched fist trembled at my sarcasm and she opened her mouth with difficulty..
“•••You, you. You can't do this to me..”
“Why can't I do this? You say whatever you want to people.”
“It's not like that for you. Why, why are you so damn.”
His eyes slowly drooped, and his voice became quiet as if he was going to crawl away..
Let’s stop, Seungsu Kim..
After apologizing for being harsh, pat your shoulder..
Then, I'll tear up and snot out my nose, so let's make a joke so it's not awkward..
But the voice that came out of my mouth was still cold.
“It'll be like this until the end?”
“what do i do.”
“•••ha. I'm going.”
“Wait, wait. The conversation isn't over yet.”
“Wait people. You know whether to rest or not..”
“who.”
“what.”
“Who is waiting? They are such important people?”
“They're important people. Maybe not to you, but to my colleagues. Grania and Arnal decided to come too..”
Then Ellen opened her mouth as if she had heard a terrible sound..
“…‘my colleagues?”
“Yeah, my 'colleagues'’.”
Seeing his expression harden, I frowned and added,.
“What else are you dissatisfied with??”
“how do you.”
“Grania, Arnal, and Luke are all colleagues who have lived and died together. You may have thought of me as just someone to vent my anger on, but to me, you are all valuable colleagues..”
By the time I finished speaking, Ellen's wide-open eyes were already filled with moisture..
“you how.”
“•••what?”
“Ugh, how can you say that??”
The setting sun overlaps with light clouds and sways like waves..
The light that came through the window was watery and staggered over Ellen's blue eyes..
“My colleague... You, now. What are you talking about?.”
“Your companion is *sigh* me, you bastard… .” As soon as he finished speaking, he began to shed heavy tears. Then he shook his shoulders and sobbed sadly..
“Ugh, huh, huh… .” Ellen collapsed and hugged her knees..
After watching him quietly, I got down on one knee and put my hand on his shoulder..
No, I tried to raise my hand and ended up clenching my fist..
What I realized while spending one night with Daria is that ‘kindness’ is rare in this world..
Smiling kindly and showing good will to people you didn't even know in person was a behavior fit only for priests..
Seeing that Daria took interest in my actions based on common sense, doesn't that mean that the world is that harsh??
Maybe it's my fault that Ellen developed a crush on me..
It must have been an unfamiliar experience for Ellen to have someone she had never met before approach her without malicious intent, be friendly to her, and protect her..
He may have even misunderstood the affection expressed in my words and actions, as I unconsciously treated Ellen like a niece..
“Huh, huh huh.”
I eventually stood up in front of Ellen, who was crying bitterly..
•••Yeah, this would be better..
Wouldn't it be rather mean to be kind and give room to a guy when you clearly know his feelings?.
I left the room with heavy steps..
widely.
Even though the door was closed, Ellen's crying did not become quieter, but became clearer..
“No, what kind of nonsense is that??”
When I opened my eyes fiercely, the head of the security guard also narrowed his brows..
“That's harsh. be polite.”
“Etiquette is a mess, I say things like that without saying anything.?”
As anger rose in my voice, Mr. Luke quickly stepped in to stop me..
“Phoenix, calm down. I was so excited.”
“No, I'm not excited - haha.”
I took off my helmet and got up from my seat..
The well-armed security officers gave me fierce looks, but when they met my wide-open gaze, they quickly looked away..
“Get out of the way, you idiots..”
«eww 99
I left the guard barracks, pushing the soldiers with my shoulder..
Grania, Arnal, and Mr. Luke followed suit, but I shook my head and dissuaded them..
“… Ha O\'7d.”
I left the inn, leaving behind Ellen, who was shedding tears, but the planned strategy failed miserably..
Even though two or three hours had passed since the sun set, the insider did not move..
At first, I thought it wasn't moving because of the variables I created. It was judged that Prince Ulkar's entry into the city had influenced the informant's operations..
But the reality was different.
About thirty minutes ago? While I was waiting at the guard barracks, there was no news as time passed, so I took a walk around the city in frustration..
But the SS was spread out near the Salt Fortress..
The situation was suspicious, so I interrogated the guard captain, and he told me that he was worried about the safety of Seongju and informed the guard captain of the situation. information has leaked.
“Haha, such a bitch….”
I clearly warned you not to inform the castle lord, but you gave the information to the castle lord's henchman? In my heart, I wanted to beat him up..
No, if I think about it, it was my mistake. I was foolish to think that the guard captain would 100% follow what I said..
The guard captain is the vassal of the castle lord. It's natural to think of Seongju as the top priority while carrying out your mission. I'm a fool for not thinking of that..
The hem of my short cape flutters in the sharp wind blowing from the sea, making my head feel a bit chilly.…….
Now how do I get the ‘Unveiled Location’? It's too dangerous to let things go according to scenario..
•••Rather, did it go well? Is it safer to just go on like this rather than create variables by carelessly changing the future??
No, no. If you know the future, you should use it. I can't just be passive like this forever. You have to take what will benefit you. Isn’t it a decisive benefit to catch the ‘unveiled location’ early??
Since you already know who he is, why not just attack him? … … Ugh, no. No matter how much I think about it, it's even crazier..
Oh, my head hurts. Nothing is going right.
“Uh, brother Poynix.!”
“ hmm?”
I turned my head to follow the voice, and saw a young man with messy brown hair approaching me, smiling brightly..
“ Farel?”
“lol. It’s been a while, brother. I heard that your sister is indebted to you..”
Grania's younger brother, Farrell, is a very cheerful guy, unlike his older sister..
He is so friendly that he makes friends wherever he goes. To put it in one word, he is a typical 'insa'..
The last time I drank, I sang a song out of excitement, and I remember being surprised because it sounded better than I thought..
It is said that his javelin throwing skills are so good that it does not match his slim body..
I've never personally seen someone throw a spear, but if you follow the battle on the dockside, it seems like he was a mercenary who managed to handle one person..
I smiled and shook my head..
“What is the situation, did we help each other?.”
“I heard it all too. I heard you gave up a lot of blood to save your sister who fell from a horse..”
“who said that?”
“Arnal said that?”
Well then.
“But what are you doing here??”
“I was bored so I followed the messenger. I just wanted to see my sister's face..”
Come to think of it, Farel and Gilius were still part of the SS..
Well, if Grania kicked them out as soon as she returned, it would be too obvious that she was holding them hostage. He will be in the SS guard unit for a while and then sent to the guard unit or gate guard unit. Or end the contract.
•••for a moment. bodyguard?
“Uh, why do you look at me like that??”
“What do you do in the SS??”
“I just do all sorts of chores. Sometimes I patrol or help with security..”
“Are you going to have security? In the salt castle?”
Farrell made an ‘oops’ look in response to my puzzled question..
“Uh, bro, you can't tell anyone about this.?”
“why?”
“Well, it's because if the commander of the SS or military commander finds out, it's completely screwed up..”
I wanted to ask more questions, but as a messenger from the SS came out of the guard barracks, I had no choice but to send Farel away..
bodyguard… It's the royal guard..
The worries that started from then continued until the guard disbanded without result and returned to the Baetgo-dong inn..
What woke me up from my deep thoughts was the conversation between Mr. Luke and Daria..
“what does that mean now?”
“yes? Ellen didn't go with us either.?”
“•••what?”
Thump, my heart seemed to sink..
Mr. Luke urged Daria in an angry voice..
“Miss Ellen decided to stay in the room, what does that mean?!”
“Uh, right after Foy and Luke left with the mercenaries, Ellen also left.?”
“Where are you going? Where are you going??”
Daria responded with a slightly pale face at Mr. Luke's unfamiliar appearance..
“Well, I couldn't ask specifically. He doesn't like me talking to him. Of course, I thought you followed Poy and Luke..”
“Have you ever experienced this kind of failure?….”
Ellen- disappeared.?
Why on earth…….
I felt like my legs were giving out, so I sat down on a chair at the bar..
“Huh, huh.”
I can't breathe.
Suddenly, the scenery of an amusement park flashed before my eyes..
