My Viins Episode 198


    44. Dream (8)


    Early morning in November.


    While there was no moonlight, the rain and wind blew fiercely.


    The wooden stick that had been ced in ce of a bar at the entrance of Oressa Tavern fell empty after three or four jolts. After that, a group of guests opened the door and revealed their appearance.


    Shoot 0]’-


    Rain and wind came through the open door. The tavern quickly became cluttered with an unexpected visit.


    “…Oh god, the water is sshing.”


    “Hey, close the door first!”


    Following the grunts of the mercenaries, the owner’s eldest son, Ha Gon, who had been sleeping in the back of the bar, swept his face and stood up.


    “Oh shit. What are you doing in the middle of the night?”


    The annoyance and drowsiness that filled his face disappeared in an instant as soon as he found the people lined up at the entrance.


    “Uh who…


    The door was closed again and the 8 people who entered the bar through the early morning rain and wind pulled back their cloaks to reveal their faces.


    Two were armed with iron helmets and chain mail, confederates, and daggers, and two were dressed in neat linen clothes.


    These four were like guards or servants who served the rest of the party as their masters.


    How did you find out at a nce?


    Unlike those dressed as soldiers and servants, the other four were adorned with expensive clothes and essories.


    As the eyes of the merchant and mercenaries turned to them, one of the two men who appeared to be guards stepped forward.


    “Are you the owner of this ce?”


    “…the owner is my father. It doesn’t matter.”


    “Right. I want to get out of the rain for a while, right?”


    “Well,”


    Hagagon ran the back of his hand through his chestnut-like beard and scanned the inside of the tavern.


    “As you can see, there are not many seats. It’s a shabby ce, so it’s going to be a little ufortable for precious guests…


    “Looks like there are quite a few rooms in the back.”


    “Most of them are used in warehouses or drying rooms. There are simr rooms, but both are upied.”


    As he said, the guest rooms already had their own owners. The first room was upied by Ellen and the second by the charcoal-burning family.


    As the guard frowned, one of the men behind him stepped forward.


    “I can’t help it. Just sit back and rest.”


    It was a young woman who appeared to be in her early to mid-twenties.


    She was wearing a red velvet kirtle and a shoulder shawl. She was a beauty with thick eyebrows andrge eyes, giving off a lively impression.


    “Are you going to rest here? It smells damp…


    “Let’s be patient for a bit, Toffee. Still, avoid the rain.”


    The young woman’s soft words made the young woman cry and snort.


    The second woman appeared to be in her mid tote teens. She was a beautiful girl wearing a white satin dress with a blue coat hanging over her shoulders, and her slender arms and pale skin underneath gave off a slender impression.


    She looked around the room with a sullen face and spoke softly.


    “…But it doesn’t seem like there’s even a ce to sit?”


    “Wait a minute, ma’am. There are more tables and chairs over there.”


    One of the guards answered and approached the table set against the wall, and another woman shook her head.


    “No way. There are already very few seats, so don’t work for nothing.”


    The third woman appeared to be in her mid-thirties. She was wearing a ck surcoat, and the skirt below the waist was ruffled, while the chest was cut deep and the waist was tight.


    Because the material of the fabric was thin chiffon, the curve from the voluptuous chest to the narrow waist was clearly revealed. In addition, her long eyes and thick lips gave off an alluring impression.


    She smiled faintly at the table where He, a bundle of Utequai, and I were sitting.


    “You can sit over there.”


    “…but ma’am. You want to sit with foreigners?”


    “hmm? My husband is here. What’s the matter?”


    The ck-d Mibu approached the man standing behind him and put his hand on his shoulder, smiling brightly.


    “Isn’t it? Lord Niterbem, my love?”


    Well, just by looking at it, that old man seems to be the best boss.


    The man called ‘Sir Niterbem’ was an old man whose age was difficult to guess. He wore a shiny purple tunic, a silver belt, high-nosed leather shoes, and a fur-lined coat.


    All of them were of good quality, but they didn’t look very suitable for the elderly. Compared to the curved waist and dwarfed shoulders, the clothes seemed a bit big.


    Well, to put it another way, it seemed that an old aristocrat who was about to die borrowed clothes from his son.


    The old man nodded his head with unfocused eyes. Then Mibu, dressed in ck, kissed his wrinkled cheeks and turned to me.


    “A handsome young man there. If you don’t mind, can we take a break at the table?”


    Among the four people sitting at the table, it was a question directed at me.


    It wasn’t anything particrly strange.


    I must have looked rtivelycent with my eyes wide open rather than Utequai, who looked like a stranger at first nce, and He, who was reading with an expressionless expression on her face.


    Instead of answering, I stared at the old man and the three women in luxurious clothes. It was because he felt something that was difficult to exin, whether it was a sense of incongruity or a sense of deja vu.


    Lord Niterbem Niterbem…


    Strange. It sounds like a name I’ve never heard before, but it’s a face I’ve seen somewhere.


    As I was silent, the eyes of the rest of the party, except for Lord Niterbem, turned to me. Unlike the guards with wary expressions, the three women were staring at me with sparkling eyes full of curiosity.


    …Ah, it’s frustrating. Why can’t I remember


    Seeing me quietly scratching my eyebrows, a beautiful girl in a blue coat whispered a slight smile.


    “I must have been deaf.”


    “is it? From the outside, it looks fine.” A beautiful woman wearing a red velvet kimono sighed and narrowed her brows before speaking to me.


    “You there. I can not hear that? Are you really not deaf?”


    “sister!”


    At her bold question, the beautiful girl in the blue coat opened her eyes wide and burst intoughter.


    “What if you say that?”


    “why? What is it?”


    “That man could really be deaf.”


    “Then it doesn’t matter. You couldn’t hear it anyway.”


    “Pheu sister!”


    As the two women chattered, the man lying near the firece pulled up his nket and stood up.


    “damn. Nimiral things are really noisy.”


    What happened was Fritz, a ponytailed mercenary. He was scratching his broom-like hair and uttering all sorts of swear words.


    The dirty-looking mercenary spoke harsh words, so the women shut their mouths as if in shock, and the guards frowned.


    “How dare this mercenary bastard curse at a safe ce?”


    “What are these rotten bastards?”


    Fritz spat into the firece and turned his head toward me.


    “lily! If you don’t want to answer, should I ask you to go away instead?”


    I sighed and answered.


    “Don’t talk to me, stay still.”


    “But I can’t sleep because it’s noisy because of these bastards-”


    “And try spitting indoors one more time. I’m really going to fall behind.”


    “…yep.”


    With that low answer, Fritzy down on the road. Then, while putting on a nket, he was muttering, ‘Everybody fuck with me.’


    “…you can hear everything.”


    “O” 百.


    I was contemting whether to throw a beer ss at the back of the head of the guy whose shoulders were shaking, but Mibu, who blinked unexpectedly, sneaked up to me.


    “lily? Are you a noble?”


    “…a nobleman. Although it is only an article.”


    “Oh, you are a knight. Somehow, it was a car that I thought had a bad appearance.”


    She smiled and extended her palm to point to the old man in the party.


    “It’s nice. My husband, Lord Niterbem, is also a knight.”


    “I see.”


    “Can I ask Hamza?”


    “Well, it’s called Phoenix.” At my words, the beauty in the red kirtle was startled and pped her hands.


    “Sir Phoenix? Could it be that the creeping dragon, the beheader of the veiled witch, and the bloody beacon of South Harbour?”


    …ah. what? What about this shame and cringe?


    The beautiful girl in the blue coat also opened her mouth slightly.


    “Oh, I heard that too. I didn’t want to be a brutal murderer with eyes and hair ck as the night sky-”


    She slurred and whispered to the red-cuttle beauty, ‘I didn’t know you were such a handsome man’.


    I nodded my head with an effortless face.


    “…yes. I am Phoenix.”


    “It’s really amazing. To be able to meet the red knight of Prince Eun in a ce like this


    .”


    At my firm words, the ck-d Mibu put on a puzzled expression and nodded.


    “Then would you give me a chance to sit with you? I want to have a conversation with a famous knight.” Ungchi, who was sitting next to me, twitched his hand every time Mibu took a step closer. And as Mibu, who had approached right in front of her, slightly lowered her waist, her body stiffened as if it would jump out at any moment.


    I took my eyes off the breasts visible through the drooping surcoat and looked back at the bundle.


    “…is it a bunch?”


    He turned his head at my call.


    The ck pupils were drawn tight, drawing ferocious four hundred eyes. After a while, Mungji blinked quickly and showed off his usual bright eyes.


    “what’s the matter?”


    “… no no. I do not know.”


    “Ugh 99 53


    Why are you like this? The group is a bit strange today.


    …well maybe?


    I was silent for a moment and stroked the boy’s head.


    “Did our group catch a cold?”


    “to? No, I don’t catch a cold.”


    “But just in case, why don’t you go over to the firece and light a fire?”


    When I said it softly with a smile, Mungchi blinked and nodded his head.


    As Moongchi left the table, I smiled and looked back at the ck-d tail.


    “I made you wait. I’m sorry ma’am.”


    “No, it’s fine.”


    “You must have been tired from the rain and wind on your journey at night, but if you don’t mind, you can sit over here and take a rest.”


    “Is it okay sir?”


    “of course.”


    I looked back at Mibu and the others and added my words.


    “However, there aren’t enough seats here, so all eight people won’t be able to sit down.”


    “Never mind us.”


    Those were the words of the guardsmen.


    “It is enough to avoid rain under the roof.”


    The two guards and two servants then withdrew, and the old man and the three women sat down at the table.


    “Come here my love.”


    Mibu, dressed in ck, led the old man to a chair and sat next to him. Lord Niterbem nodded in his chair and quickly fell asleep.


    The beauty in the red skirt looked at me for a moment and hesitated. In the meantime, the beautiful girl in the blue coat quickly approached and took the seat next to me.


    The pretty girl, who was sitting on a chair and tidying up the hem of her white dress, pretended to be surprised and looked back at me.


    “Sir, may I sit here?”


    “You’re already sitting, ma’am.”


    “……yes?”


    What was so funny about that, she burst intoughter. It was a lively smile befitting his age.


    “Uh, but did you just call me madam?”


    “yes. I heard a soldier call that earlier.”


    “Oh, I see.”


    The beautiful girl in the blue coat smiled broadly as if relieved.


    “I thought I was already old enough to be called a wife.”


    “aha.”


    I smiled and shook my head.


    “Not at all, madam. At first nce, she looks like a young girl who has just had hering-of-age ceremony.” “really?”


    “yes. Oh, of course- he’s dressed neatly, so there’s no room for misunderstanding.”


    A beautiful girl in her early to mid-thirties and a beautiful girl in her early to mid-twenties The beautiful girls in their mid- tote-teens each boasted different charms and personalities, but they had one thing inmon. All three of them had their hair tightly hidden with a white veil or kerchief.


    I nced over in turn at Sir Niterbem sitting across from me, Mibu in ck sitting next to him, and the beauty in the red coat and the beautiful girl in the blue coat sitting on either side of them.


    “Three I guess.”


    “Kelsenne Ganesh Topelin.”


    “yes?”


    The beautiful girl smiled lightly and pointed at the other women in turn.


    “A name. The eldest sister is Kelsene, the second sister is Ganesh, and I am Topelin.”


    “…Oh, I see. Mrs. Kelsene, Mrs. Ganesh, Mrs. Topelin.”


    I wet my dry lips.


    “Well, it seems that Mrs. Kelsenne, Mrs. Ganesh, and Mrs. Topelin are all married, but there seems to be only one man who seems to be your partner.”


    Ganesh, the beauty in the red skirt, nodded at my indirect question.


    “that’s right. All three of us are the wives of Lord Niterbem.”


    “Huh crazy-”


    It was Esson, the mercenary who was leaning against the wall behind me, who let out a sigh of exmation orment along with a low curse.


    “Oh, I don’t know.”


    As the eyes focused on him, the chubby Esson waved his hand with a puzzled expression.


    “I just did it because I was envious. Don’t worry about it.”


    I nced around to see several other mercenaries besides Eson looking at the old man and the three beauties with curious eyes.


    Aren’t you all asleep?


    Thinking so, I was looking at the eyes shining with anger or envy when I suddenly met Archer Cole’s eyes.


    Confirming that my deep blue eyes were shining sharply, I secretly smiled and blinked one eye. At my unexpected wink, Cole narrowed his brows, but quickly regained hisplexion.


    After confirming that Cole slipped up from his seat, I turned back to the table and shrugged.


    “Looking at my friends, they all seem to be curious about Lord Niterbem’s secret.”


    “The secret?”


    “yes. The secret to having not one, not two, but three beautiful wives.”


    At my words, Ganesh said with a sad face.


    “Money, what.”


    “You mean money?”


    “yes. My husband, Lord Niterbem, has a lot of money.”


    “Oh, I see.”


    I continued, hiding my tension with an intriguing smile.


    “But just because you have a lot of money doesn’t necessarily mean you get beautiful women.”


    “It is possible if you have a lot of money.”


    When Ganesh smiled cynically, Kelsene, the beautiful woman in ck, deliberately put on a stern expression.


    “Speaking like that, Ganesh, is an insult to Sir Niter Bem and to us as well.”


    “But what if it’s true?”


    “Ganesh.”


    Kelsenne smiled softly as if admonishing her little brother.


    “It’s not just money that made you and I love our husband. Lord Phoenix will misunderstand.”


    As Ganesh folded his arms and closed his mouth, I pulled up a chair and pretended to be interested.


    “It’s not just for the money. Can you keep the story going, Mrs. Kelsenne?”
