Chapter 100 – Seoul (2)
The next day, having cleared the camp, the soldiers again walked along the road under Lord Lorend’s command.
Tomorrow, around noon, we will arrive at the small town of Rivermill.
Ian and Seo-joon cleared the tent, simply filled their stomachs with beef jerky and dried fruit – and followed the soldiers down the street.
“…”
He was watching Lily all the time.
Because Lily hadn’t said a word since last night.
It took Ian’s breath away. She didn’t even look at Ian, she didn’t speak to her.
It was similar to how Lily appeared to her other men, not her Ian.
Since what happened to her older sister Lily had her phobia of men hardwired into her bones, when her men flirted with her she tended to ignore them completely.
There were idiots who thought there was room for them if they clumsily refused and tried again.
But Ian had never been treated like this by her in her entire life.
In childhood, they were childhood friends, and since they started to like each other around the time they started to open their eyes to the opposite sex-, I honestly couldn’t understand it when guys said that they didn’t care about Lily.
She wanted to find a girl as lively, cute, and lovely as her.
However, when Ian went to apologize, he ignored it, and when she seemed thirsty, he took out a water bottle and handed her water.
There was no way that Seojun and Monica were unaware of this atmosphere.
However, the two seemed to be sparing their words.
You don’t know the situation at all, so you won’t know what advice to give – you won’t know.
Ian in his own way-, Lily in his own way- couldn’t open up about last night.
An uncomfortable silence ensued between the four.
Until the sun rises in mid-heaven…
To the party that was walking like that, someone walked.
It was Boris, a bird-eyed soldier with a long mustache.
He put his hands on the back of his head, whistled, whistled, and snugly clung to Lily.
Ian twitched his fingertips, but didn’t intervene.
Boris hadn’t done anything wrong – he couldn’t have rushed to separate him.
Since it is a position that is being put on top of it-, Seo Jun-hyung told me not to cause a problem as much as possible…
“There···. Miss···?”
Boris spoke to Lily in a gruff, low-pitched voice. Lily didn’t even give an answer, she didn’t even look at him.
That’s right – that’s what Lily is like…!
Because Ian had been nervous for some reason all day-, Lily’s reaction gave me strength. Even the corners of my mouth pouted. It’s all cold inside-.
But Boris did not back down from there.
“My lady, do you have a lover…? I’ve heard no.”
At Boris’ question, Ian clenched his teeth.
Who is it…? Why can’t I have a lover…! Here I am…! I wanted to shout like that right away, but I didn’t bother.
Lily will know the answer.
However, Lily’s reaction was unexpected.
Glancing – looked back at Ian – then looked at Boris and nodded her head.
“No, why not?”
Uh…? Ian stopped her steps and opened her mouth.
At Lily’s answer, Boris grinned and took out something he had been hiding in her arms.
Wanting something, Ian quickly caught up with the ranks.
I did something – I gathered the flowers that bloomed on the roadside and made a small bouquet.
“I mean… I’m not the kind of person who does this…? I’m a man who doesn’t know what romance is. Because I’ve never had true love. By the way···. My heart started beating like that. Ever since I first saw you…! The young lady is so pretty- I couldn’t even sleep yesterday… I should be able to sleep through my heart beating…! That, that’s why…”
Boris trailed her horse and studied Lily’s eyes.
Lily closed her mouth and looked at him, as if to say more.
Then Boris finished her speech with a big smile.
“Can you accept my confession…? If you do, I will make sure that not a single drop of water is on your hands all my life. I’m serious···!”
It was a courtship, but it was a marriage proposal. Very active -.
Ian, who had lost his reasoning, clenched her fists and trembled. If, by any chance, you were going to do something to Lily by force—with the intention of jumping out right away and throwing bamboo sticks—.
“Mister, why do you like me…?”
Contrary to what she thought she would reject right away, when Lily asked back with those words – joy and sorrow crossed Ian and Boris.
And···! I was in the mood to stab it, but will this happen…? I wanted to.
The soldiers in the front, who had been pretending not to be interested, could also be seen looking back. Even if I pretended not to, I was listening intently.
Because Lily was such a great beauty. If Boris’ confession succeeds – they might go crazy with a stomach ache. No one else would have thought that a bastard like Boris would take it away.
Boris, somewhat excited, purred her beard and licked her dry lips with her tongue.
“Yeah, it’s pretty…! Her face is also pretty, and her figure is also Joonna…! Big hum… After all, it was love at first sight…! Uh, what about…? Will you accept…? Yes···?”
At Boris’ question – Lily hummed – and shook her head with her snort.
Is it real…? Even the soldiers openly turned their heads to her because of her desire.
Only Sir Lorend, riding at the front, was unaware of anything – humming his hum.
“It’s okay.”
At Lily’s reply, the other soldiers, as well as Ian and Boris, opened their eyes wide and opened their mouths.
I didn’t understand exactly what it meant to be okay.
“What is that…”
“It’s okay, so go away. Find someone else with a pretty face and a good body. Because I am not interested.”
Lily’s firm answer. She was rejected
Ian’s and Boris’ faces crossed joy again.
This on Boris’ face, how could it be…! Conversely, the joy that could not be hidden on Ian’s face came to mind.
Immediately, laughter broke out among the soldiers.
He said he knew it- all sorts of mockery of Boris began, starting with the mouthpiece Bill.
Boris closed his gaping mouth and purred his beard.
The fever went up.
He sighed for a while, probably hurting her pride, and then suddenly grabbed her by the collar.
“Huh…?”
“Who are you kidding me with this shit…! Then Siba- I will say no from the beginning…!”
As soon as Boris grabbed her by the collar, baring his yellow teeth, the onlookers turned around and tried to stop him.
“Hey Boris…!”
“Stop it!”
But Ian was much faster than that.
He immediately kicked off the dirt floor and rushed at him, punching Boris in the chin. He moved with a burst of mana in the blink of an eye – no one could stop him.
This bastard…! Dare to lay her hand on this Lily…!
Ian climbed on top of Boris, who fell after being hit in the jaw by her – the moment he was about to crush Boris’s nose, Seo-joon grabbed his arm.
“Tongue, brother…?”
Ian, who finally came to her senses, looked down at Boris, who was trembling with her lips parted and her eyes tightly closed, and startled – her shoulders trembled.
“What, what are these…!”
Sir Lorend, who was riding a horse in the front, belatedly grasped the situation and came running, exploding mana.
“What happened···! You will have to speak the truth…!”
Sir Lorende, as if the benevolent uncle he had shown so far was a joke, he raised his eyebrows and glared at them in turn.
A chilly silence hung over the highway.
&
Ian as Ian, and Boris as Boris- Sir Lorend, who had listened to each of them, also listened to the soldiers and Seo-jun’s stories fairly to hear the exact story.
Also, he summoned Lily, who was the cause of this, and had a private meeting with him.
Those who had been walking for a long time sat down in the middle of the road, waiting for the two of them to finish their conversation.
“Brother, I’m sorry…”
Ian bowed her head, as if he had no face.
At best, he even warned me not to cause trouble, but this was a direct violation.
On the other side, a soldier close to him, including Boris, was glaring at Ian. He just hit someone for grabbing him by the collar, so how could he be angry?
“Huh- Let’s watch for a while-.”
After letting out a sigh, Seo-jun touched his chin and looked at Lily and Sir Lorende, who were talking from a distance with thinly open eyes.
Judging by the expressions on their faces, it didn’t look like the conversation was going to go so badly.
Also, due to Sir Lorend’s personality, he would beat Ian to punish him- or he wouldn’t be imprisoned, but… It was something you never knew.
It’s always good to assume the worst. Destiny is like a derailed runaway locomotive—you don’t know where it will suddenly bounce. Especially for the main character.
In fact, when Ian jumped out and slashed Boris’ jaw, Seo-joon could have stepped in and stopped him.
However, the reason I stayed still was because I was thinking of watching how the love front between the two would flow. To throw a spectacle to the gods… It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time.
The two of them just finished talking- Sir Lorend and Lily walked over.
Ian and Boris looked at each other nervously about what he would say.
Seo-joon raised his spirit slightly in preparation for the worst-case scenario.
