Chapter 265 – Colorful (7)
The time to part has come. In the meantime, I was living a happy life covered in sex and infidelity. Artie’s Rare had the perfect coziness for one more person to live in, so I didn’t want to leave. Arus became attached to me and did not want to let me go. She hugged me tightly and stopped me from going.
“Arus? Will you let Dad go?”
“No!”
Arus was hugging me tightly and clinging to me. Is it because it’s a dragon? As she was growing up day by day, I thought that she was quite heavy for me as well. It was a different shape in muscle density. Artie said while carefully removing Arus.
“Arus. Dad has to go somewhere else. Because if you’re going to kill Uncle Theorgon, you’ll have to become stronger. If we don’t kill Theorgon, we can’t live with Dad.”
“Huh… I hate that too…”
“I will come again. Arus. You know that Daddy loves Arus, right?”
“Okay…”
Arus was looking at the ground with a sullen expression. Are you raising your daughter to this taste? The coachman, who was watching this scene from afar, had gained about 10kg more weight. It was the result of her not doing anything in the warehouse and eating only delicious things. He was belching and looking at us with a thoughtless attitude.
I removed Arus and asked Artie in a low voice.
“Artie. But, that… How are you going to explain to Arus that I have another wife?”
“Oh, Dad should explain that. I’m stuck here, so I don’t know that story.”
Artie pretended not to know me at all. I couldn’t help but smile and nod my head. Wouldn’t this suit Arus later? But now, ‘Arus, Dad is going to meet another woman from now on. My dad lives in two houses.’
“Anyway, then I’ll come back.”
“Okay. Don’t push yourself too hard.”
“Right. Artie. This wagon is a method of teleportation by charging mana, is there any way to charge the wagon separately?”
“Charging the wagon? Well… Would you mind waiting a moment?”
Artie opened a portal to her storage room, put her hand through it, and started searching. After searching for a while, she took out a small stone from inside the shed and picked it up. Magical power overflowed from the diamond-shaped, pointed stone. Artie handed the stone to her, she said.
“It is a high-purity magic stone. Magic is concentrated inside, and if the wagon absorbs the surrounding magic, the charging efficiency will probably increase if you hold it close. It’s hard to find outside, so why don’t you use it elsewhere?”
“Yes.”
I accepted the magic stone and climbed into the carriage. The driver belched once more and apologized to me.
“Oops, oops, I’m sorry. Lately, I’ve been eating too much and just sleeping, so I guess I’m sick of it.”
“No. Coachman. I should have treated the coachman better. Space is space, so I could only treat them this way. I’m sorry I kept you in the warehouse.”
“Oops, no. It was the first time in my life that I had eaten so luxuriously. Rather, I apologize for being rude to you. Young lady! Sorry!”
The coachman apologized to Arus by calling him ‘lady’. Arus tilted his head and looked at Arty and asked.
“What is a young lady?”
“That’s what we call Arus. Because my dad is a lord. Arus, the daughter of the lord, will become a young lady.”
“What? Are lords higher than dragons?”
“No. What? Is that an incorrect expression?”
Artie frowned, confused as well. I was suddenly worried too. When a lord and a dragon marry, does she treat the daughter as her daughter her? What should I call it? The coachman glanced at him in a rather complicated agony. I lightly tapped the coachman’s shoulder and said to Artie.
“Yeong-ae is also an expression of exaltation to humans. Artie. Not only lords, but all nobles are called that, right?”
“Right? It wasn’t something to worry about.”
Arty smiled and stroked Arus’ head. It was really time to go. The coachman took the reins of the horseless carriage and said to me,
“Younglord. I am ready.”
“Yes. I will depart.”
“Dad, come again. I have to.”
“Dad, come again!”
I waved to Arus and pulled the wagon lever. Particles of blue light floated around and enveloped us. The waving figures of Arus and Arti were sucked into the light, and we moved in and out of the space feeling a strange sense of floating.
“Wow.”
And I closed my eyes. As soon as I woke up, it was Yeongji. It seemed to be positioned correctly. The wagon was left where it was normally parked. The coachman, who was supposed to take care of the horses, habitually shouted ‘whoa whoa’, but then realized that there was nothing in the reins he was holding and clicked his tongue. The death of the horses was pitiful, but what can I do? I had to give anything to please Deorgon.
The coachman immediately regained his energy. He seemed happy to see Yeongji’s arrival again. He told me with a smile on his face.
“Then I will clean the wagon and go. Lord. You worked hard.”
“Yes. Have a hard time coachman.”
I left the coachman and toured the mansion. As I approached the entrance of the mansion, the attendant who was sweeping the door suddenly saw me appearing and shouting in amazement.
“Gosh! Lord!”
“Yes. It’s Yeongju. How have you been? What is Eve doing?”
“Oh that…”
The atmosphere was strange. Has there ever been such a gloomy atmosphere in the manor? The atmosphere hadn’t been so gloomy since the murder of the grand duke’s son the other day. I asked the attendant again.
“What’s going on?”
“Ah, that… It’s a bit far fetched for me to say, but it’s better to ask Mrs. Peta directly…”
“What the fuck is going on? Do you want me to just tell you?”
When I got irritated, the attendant stood upright like a girbi and shouted.
“Oh, oh, really! How can I tell you so yes! This, that… It’s not… !”
Having said that, it really had to be that kind of story. I went inside the mansion. Inside the mansion, all the attendants were working with gloomy faces. What is it? What the hell is going on? Did Eve announce a salary freeze plan? Did you do any restructuring? At that moment, Aira was moving the flowerpot. I said hello to her.
“Ira. It’s been a while.”
“Ah, lord! Are you back?”
Ira grinned as soon as she saw me, but she regained her gloom just as quickly as she laughed. What is it? What is the problem? I asked as I wrapped my arms around Aira’s shoulder her.
“Ira. So what’s going on? As soon as I arrived, the atmosphere in the mansion was not good. Anyone who sees it will know that it was a big accident.”
Ira bit her lip at those words, and she looked at me with a little tear. She then turned her head again and said in a low voice.
“I’m sorry. Because it’s not something I can talk about… I think it would be better to ask Mr. Eve directly.”
What? What the fuck are you talking about? What happened? I went upstairs again. In the office, I heard the sound of papers being turned over. Routine, flat movements. I couldn’t notice the change in emotion just by listening to the sound. I said as I opened the door.
“Eve… What?”
“Ah, lord.”
It was Sierra. It was nice to see her Sieri her again, so I hugged her tightly and kissed her on the forehead. She was greeted by me, staggering like a dying person. I asked while stroking Sieri’s hair her.
“Sierri. Why is Sierra working here? I took over from Eve. Did you two fight?”
Was this what all the attendants were reluctant to talk about? But it didn’t seem like it. Sieri hurriedly shook her head and said with a puzzled expression.
“Oh that… I guess it’s something I can’t talk about. Listening directly to Eve…”
“Where is Eve? She should be scolded for not even saying hello when her groom came.”
Sieri laughed at that, but her eyes her were sad. What is it? The atmosphere was so uneasy that I was even annoyed. What the hell is going on? I hurried down the stairs. Sieri said she would have Eve at the pool. I left the gate and walked towards the pool. Eve was squatting at the edge of the pool. Beside her, Selu was staring blankly at her sky.
Eve was shaking her shoulders with her head down. It was clear that he was crying. I cautiously went beside her. Sellu spotted me and she waved her hand lightly and said hello. I said as I wrapped my arms around Eve’s shoulder her.
“Eve. What’s the matter?”
“Groom…”
Eve raised her head and looked at me. Red bloodshot eyes. She was crying really sadly with tears in her eyes. Why would she cry so sadly? I was surprised without knowing it and hugged her tightly.
“What’s the matter? Huh? Who made our eve cry? Uh? Why are you crying? Yeah don’t cry All pretty faces are ugly.”
“Groom… Nana… Hehe…”
Eve continued to cry. I looked over her shoulder at Sellu and winked. But she, too, only shook her head with a melancholy expression and went into the pool. What? What the hell is going on? Why is Eve crying so much? Eve was the only one who could answer my questions. I said, patting Eve on the shoulder of her.
“Yes. Yes yes are you okay. Don’t cry yes. Okay. What’s up?”
“That’s it… That… This time in the capital… Hehe… With the wizard… The doctor came… Whoa… I was tested…”
“Test? What test?”
“Huh… I, I called… I was wondering when the mermaid’s fertile period was… I called…”
Unstable. An anxious feeling of foreboding passed by.
“Nana… Since infertility…”
