198 – 71. Sea Trip (1)
“It is an honor to serve Your Majesty!”
As Judah and Elijah approached the ship, the old soldier standing in front of them saluted politely.
The soldiers around him followed suit and saluted vigorously.
“Loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor!”
Judas secretly admired them for wearing uniforms even in this hot weather.
‘But who is it?’
How can you be so indifferent to the internal affairs of the empire as a state secretary?
I should reflect on this, but I didn’t really reflect on it.
It is clear that if he pays attention to internal affairs, he will only get in the way.
“This is Gabriel, captain of the Hosea!”
The name of the sailing ship is Hosea.
The old man in front was the captain of the ship.
Elijah secretly elaborated to Judah.
“He is the commander-in-chief of the maritime operation to conquer the Demon World.”
Originally, a person as high as the commander-in-chief does not serve as the captain.
But since Elijah and Judah decided to ride, a more important person served as the captain.
Judas greeted him lightly.
“I hope you enjoy this voyage.”
“Yes! “I will serve you with all my heart!”
I don’t have anything to do with my soul….
It was a somewhat burdensome loyalty, but Judas just muttered to himself.
He and Elijah have reached a position where they can receive such loyalty.
Elijah spoke briefly.
“Come on board and listen to the details.”
“Yes, I understand!”
Judas boarded a sailing ship with Elijah, protected by numerous soldiers.
The feel of the size from climbing on top was as enormous as it was from below.
It seemed like a large building was floating on the water.
‘Apartment or something like that.’
I was even more amazed because it was my first time on a boat in my life.
Elijah chuckled as he looked at Judah, who was looking around blankly.
Then he spoke to Gabriel.
“How long until departure?”
“There are about 10 minutes left.”
“Until then, can I take a quick look around the deck?”
Elijah wanted to give Judah time to freely explore her surroundings.
It may happen later anyway, but still.
The best way is to do it at the moment you want to do it.
“Yes, I understand!”
While the soldiers were waiting, Judah and Elijah walked around on deck.
I did not go inside the ship, but looked at the scenery from outside.
“Hey….”
Judah expressed it plainly.
The endless deep blue sea.
Above, the deep blue sky stretches as if running parallel.
Just looking at her makes me feel like my heart is being warmed.
It also resembles the fields of the Great Plains that I enjoy seeing from time to time.
A meadow where the blades of grass flutter.
But it is different.
The grassland is land, and it knows its end.
If you run, you will move to the next area quite quickly.
It is difficult to know the end of this sea.
Even down there is the deep sea again.
A sense of awe toward the mystery of nature sprouted.
“It’s wide….”
Elijah muttered absently next to her.
It was her first time seeing the ocean with her own eyes.
Judah saw Elijah.
The sight of her looking around the sea with her arms folded tightly.
A gentle smile appeared on her face.
The sea breeze blew past her hair.
His eyes met hers as he held her flowing hair.
Suddenly he smiles sweetly.
Judah also smiled and lowered his head to her without realizing it.
Gently pull her waist and kiss her lightly.
She parted her lips, smiled brightly and said.
“I’m glad I’ve never seen the sea before.”
“Huh? “Are you lucky?”
“Thanks to you, I was able to see the sea for the first time.”
“… ….”
Because I have never seen the sea in my life, I was able to share that first time with myself.
These were words that deeply touched my heart.
Is there such a moving and lingering feeling in the act of seeing the sea for the first time?
If Elijah had seen it alone, how different would it have been now?
Well. For Judah, it is difficult to make a hasty statement.
One thing we know is that just as he said that he was glad to be with us at the moment of seeing the sea for the first time, he is also like that.
She is glad that Elijah was by her side the moment she first saw the sea.
One by one, she was even grateful for her life as she gave meaning to the small and happy everyday things.
He answered belatedly.
“… I know.”
The two just looked at the deep blue sea with their shoulders pressed against each other in silence for a moment.
I walked around her deck and even approached the bow.
A long pole that extends like a horn at the front of a ship.
The figurehead hanging below it.
It was a falcon plated with gold.
“Why did you use a falcon?”
Elijah answered Judah’s pure curiosity.
“It is a type of sea hawk that lives by hunting fish. “Because it is a bird that flies freely over the sea, it was probably used to receive its energy and strength.”
“Oh…. “There’s nothing I don’t know.”
Elijah’s shoulders, praised, tried to rise upward.
This is a strange thing.
No matter how much other people praise me, I am not impressed, but Judah’s praise, even if it is small, makes me feel excited.
“Hmm, well. “It’s like this.”
Judah chuckled as he watched her trying to act calm.
‘You can see everything inside. ‘Since when did it become so transparent?’
It was soon time to set sail, so I returned to Captain Gabriel.
He was waiting in front of the wheel.
Elijah said.
“The sightseeing is over. “Then, let’s listen to the instructions.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. The Hosea is a supply ship heading to the Beersheba Peninsula, which protrudes to the west from the central part of the Demon World. An outpost has currently been formed around the port on the peninsula, and operations are being established to support the United Human Forces advancing north from the south.”
The source of the plan to invade the demon world using the sea was provided by Elijah, and it was Gabriel in front of us who made it concrete.
This is the person Galahad recommended to Elijah, who was contemplating a nomination for commander-in-chief of the navy.
He was Galahad’s comrade in arms.
Elijah listened to the story, checking to see if it was consistent with what he had previously reported and discussed.
Everything matched.
Even the effects expected in the future due to this spread.
“It’s okay.”
After hearing all the reports, Elijah spoke calmly.
It is time to depart.
The supply ship departed with the horn sounding, and Elijah and Judah checked the inside of the ship.
A cabin, a cargo hold loaded with supplies, etc.
Perhaps because the Emperor and the State Secretary came out to check it in person, it was flawless and perfect.
“It will have to remain like this in the future.”
Gabriel saluted Elijah’s calm instructions.
The last place introduced was the room where Judah and Elijah would stay during the voyage.
This is a bedroom prepared for just two people, and later this bedroom is to be separated and removed.
The reason was that no one else could dare to use the space used by the emperor.
When you open the large door and enter, you find a cozy space.
This is a kind of restaurant with luxurious tables and chairs.
For Judah and Elijah.
When you pass the restaurant, you come to a relatively small door, and inside is the bedroom.
“It may be insignificant compared to the palace, but we prepared it with the utmost care.”
“It’s not bad. “How long will it take to arrive?”
“If the weather changes are not severe, it will take three days.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Elijah, who was about to send Gabriel up, suddenly looked at Judah.
“Aren’t you hungry?”
“Huh? How did you know? Ah. “It’s almost lunch time.”
“Can you bring me a meal?”
“Of course, Your Majesty.”
Gabrielle went out with her crew, saying she would get it out quickly.
As soon as the door closed, Elijah hugged Judah.
She then speaks calmly.
“Give me a kiss.”
Judah laughed as if he couldn’t stop him.
“Oh my, I wanted to kiss you.”
“Hung.”
“How have you been holding it in?”
“I held back while touching my arm.”
For some reason, he kept rubbing it since a while ago.
Juda smiled and kissed her calmly.
One time wasn’t enough for her, so she bumped into him several times and even kissed her cheek.
Only then did Elijah smile as if satisfied, and she hugged his body and hugged him.
“I feel good.”
“You’re trying to kill people with cuteness.”
“… No it’s not.”
Elijah, embarrassed, turned away from her.
“Let’s sit down and wait.”
Judah sat down first, and Elijah sat on his lap as if it was natural.
“She said Mommy also wanted to see the sea.”
“Is that so? “Then she shouldn’t have come along.”
“That’s right, but it’s scary to get on a boat.”
“Hmm.”
That may be the case.
Judas thought that maybe Mary was being considerate.
So that she and Elijah could spend time alone.
Elijah probably knows this, but Mary still sees Elijah’s feelings.
I guess I can’t completely erase her sorry feelings.
No matter how much Elijah forgave her, she would think that he could not forgive her.
“Next time, should I bring my mother-in-law to the sea? “I’m not going on a boat.”
“Wow. Good.”
While waiting for the meal, the two people hugged and had a small conversation.
“Ah. “Richard says he’s getting married soon.”
At one point, Judah placed her horse in peace with several members of the royal guard, including Richard.
“Really? It’s later than I thought. “Isn’t the timing ambiguous?”
Currently, the Imperial Guard is dispatched to the site of the Demon World conquest, and its main role is to monitor and protect.
These are the eyes of Elijah.
The work will continue until the end of the war, so it is a somewhat unsuitable time to hold a ceremony.
“I heard that my senior also knows…. “It had to be that way.”
“Why?”
“Beninita’s sister-in-law is having a baby…” .”
“… Ah.”
He took away her child before marriage.
“Well, it’s not that rare.”
“Wow…. “I see.”
Ira….
Elijah pondered those words in his mind and stroked his stomach.
How does it feel?
To bear the child of the person she loves.
I was curious, but not yet.
I want to enjoy this world with just the two of us a little longer.
“He said he would be grateful if I could attend.”
“Does Judas want to go?”
“Yes. “I want to go.”
“Then let’s go together.”
“You accept so willingly? “Is your schedule okay?”
“Wow. It takes time. She is precious to Judah, she can only pay that much.”
Judas sometimes found it surprising that Elijah had become so kind and gentle.
It is still the same today.
She looks completely different from before, when she lived with her blade pointed at others.
She was truly happy and grateful that she had changed from that person to this.
Judas kissed her head.
“Thank you.”
“Then kiss me.”
She sat Elijah down slightly and kissed him deeply.
The heat of her close body slowly rises.
Her lips did not separate for long, and they naturally parted and shared their breath.
The atmosphere makes you wish for deeper contact.
The moment when she was about to stick out her tongue wet with her saliva….
-Knock knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
-Your Majesty. The meal is ready.
Elijah jumped up and fanned her face.
She checked her clothes for no reason.
Judah also looked at her self, her clothes, and her Elijah, and nodded her head.
Only then did Elijah calm his voice and speak.
“You may come in.”
Her Judas swallowed her laughter inside her, seeing her calm and solemn.
