Episode 66
Translator : Missme Editor : Aru
Mag Jaang was surprised at the moment he found a splendid and vivid enemy that could be distinguished at a glance from afar .
‘Why is she here?’
But the surprise was brief . Soon a brilliant idea came to mind .
‘This is a chance . ’
He recently had some regrets about his opponent who turned the situation over as a mere coincidence and made him leave his seat quietly .
‘At that time at the market how much she had humiliated me . ’
He thought he had to give that bitch woman a stingy taste like that .
Mag Jaang deliberately shot an arrow at the horse on which the princess was riding .
He didn’t aim at people on the horse because he wasn’t confident about it . But it’s enough to make the horse jump and rage after being hit by an arrow which ‘accidentally’ shot . It doesn’t matter if the person on the horse falls off and gets hurt a bit .
Of course, shooting an arrow wasn’t a mistake but that’s enough .
‘Ha, I never thought he’d catch it . ”
Unlike what he planned, Mag Jaang did not achieve his purpose .
The knight next to the princess grabbed the flying arrow with his bare hands . As soon as Mag Jaang saw it, he turned the horse around and ran away .
‘Is The Duke’s knight possible to do something like that?’
It was absurd . And it was a shame to fail since the chance came as if it was sent from heaven .
‘I wanted her to at least fall and break one leg . Well, I can’t help it . It’s a shame, but I’ll run away like this and just pretend nothing happened . … . . ’
It was then .
Puck!
Neighhhhh!
“Argh!”
An arrow hit the leg of a running horse and made the horse fall .
Mag Jaang, who fell off the horse, could not overcome inertia and rolled over and slammed his head against the tree .
Soon a man appeared before the drooping Mag Jaang .
“Oh yes . ”
Dressed in black colour made its gender hard to guess, the person looked proud . Satisfied, he clenched his fist into the air and soon took out a small sphere from his bosom .
“Master, I caught the suicide seeker . ”
From the small sphere, a fire sparkled and the dry answer returned .
-Okay .
There was not a word of praise for doing well . Well, it doesn’t really matter .
He didn’t mean to be praised anyway . As a member of the organization, he was just faithful to his role and paid for it according to his master’s orders .
“He fainted . Should I leave him as it is? Or should I take him away?”
-Leave him be .
“Yes sir, I understand . ”
He reeled the sphere, a magic tool for communication, and looked down at the unconscious Mag Jaang .
He shrugged .
“Ckck, these days, even suicide attempts are very creative . If you want to die, just hang yourself from a tree . It’s easy, fast, traditional, and how good it is . But it’s something I can’t understand anyway . ”
Soon, after preventing any possibility of Mag Jaang waking up by hitting the back of his head which had already fainted, the person disappeared into the air as he appeared before .
Ash hugged me and left the hunting ground .
I was worried about Irene and Sir Davery, who were left in the place, but Ash’s movements made me too unabashed to look back at them .
In my heart, I asked Sir Davery to look after Irene .
We headed straight for the mansion . As I got off the carriage, I stumbled for a moment and I had to come into the mansion held by Ash .
I’ve already said that I’m okay and can walk by myself, but it didn’t work .
‘I’m shy . ’
The butler and Bessie went wild about what’s going on when they saw me come in like a patient .
I said that the fever seemed to have arisen because of the flu . It wasn’t entirely a lie . I’ve been feeling dizzy since a while ago, and I’ve wondered if I really have a fever .
‘How can I have a fever over something like that?’
It was an amazing act .
‘It’s really unusual . ’
As it did last time, someone else was hurt, but why am I in this mess?
Ash dropped me off on my bed in my room . I lay down and looked up at Ash, feeling my body drooping heavily like watery cotton .
In this situation, I opened my mouth, thinking that it is absurd for my eyes to stay on Ash’s jawline or nose, which seemed to be drawn even when looking up from below .
“The hunting competition… . . ”
“ . . … . ”
“Aren’t you disqualified if you come out on the way like this?”
“I suppose so . ”
Would it be too late to go back right now?
Well, of course, it would be late . Considering the time it takes to get to and from the capital .
“……you said you were going to win . ”
I said what I had been worried about since we left the hunting ground . The answer fell off without even showing signs of agonizing .
“I don’t care about that . ”
Just before the start of the competition, Ash had a subtle war of nerves with The Crown Prince for the competition .
I was about to mention it and soon shut my mouth .
It’s a hunting competition that’s already started and soon finished . Now, the only thing that I can keep bringing up was to make sure Ash had not thrown away another important thing because of me .
I was embarrassed for no reason, so I fidgeted with the quilt and pulled it up with an awkward touch, but Ash reached out and touched my forehead .
His hand stayed like that for a while, as if measuring a fever, and then fell back again soon .
I almost gasped at the moment, but I held on to my reason and swallowed a scream instead of sighing .
‘Get a hold of yourself?’
Woah, I can’t believe what would happen if I let my guard down .
While I was so preoccupied with distrust and shock toward myself, Ash’s voice was heard .
“Where does it hurt?”
I blinked and shook my head .
“You have a slight fever, how’s your head?”
“I’m all right . It’s a little dizzy, but, uh, that’s all . ”
After answering like that, I hesitated a little and continued .
“I came into the hunting ground…… was my insistence . I was going to come out right after a short tour of the forest . ”
“……”
“I didn’t know it would cause you inconvenience and make you worried . I’m sorry . ”
‘Honestly, I didn’t know . ’
I thought it was over when I found Irene without any problems and took her out smoothly .
Ash answered slowly without haste .
“That’s okay . As long as you’re not hurt . ”
“…… . ”
“I’ve told you before . As long as you’re safe, whatever you do is fine . ”
“……”
“It’s still the same now . ”
The quiet surroundings, without a single noise, suddenly feel resentful . I felt like I could hear my heart beating a little .
“Noonim . ”
“Huh?”
I carefully raised my gaze, which had been lowered at an angle for fear of being caught .
“Remember when I said if you got hurt then the rest will be responsible for it?”
“B, but I’m not hurt . ”
Ash smiled lightly when I spoke hurriedly as an excuse .
A calm hand swept my forehead and handed over my hair, giving no time for me to calm my trembling heart at his smile .
I held my breath .
“When I think about it today, I feel like I’m including in ‘the rest’ . ”
“……”
“I don’t think I can forgive myself if something happens to you . ”
So please don’t get hurt . Ash added affectionately and tenderly, as he handed over my hair .
I closed and opened my eyelids very slowly .
Is it because of the fever?
This moment, which cannot be said to be strange, felt as if it were unrealistic .
‘Oh, no . ’
It’s not that .
‘I want it to be unreal . ’
It’s just that I hope this isn’t real .
That way, I can spit out words that seem to be blocking my throat .
Actually, since Ash first appeared in the forest and hugged me, it seemed like I really wanted to rub my lips so the lingering words that I really wanted to say could flow out .
I thought of Irene . I couldn’t see her face with her head down, but irene’s heart-felt expression with her trembling voice filled my mind .
Come to think of it, Irene has always been honest . Even when I was questioned about why she spilt wine to my dress at the party, and at the hunting ground too . She didn’t hide her feelings for Ash at all .
I gently took my hand off the blanket out of sight and held them .
‘I envy her . ’
I really envy her .
I felt nauseous . I was so envious of Irene now that I couldn’t bear it .
It was only when I saw Irene revealing her mind without hiding it that I realized .
How painful it is not to be able to do that .
No matter how much I press and swallow those feelings, the fact that I can’t show my heart so tempted me and makes me difficult .
‘I like him more . ’
It’s not that I don’t know that it’s useless to put a human mind that didn’t have any shape on a scale . But–
‘I like him a lot more . ’
But Irene can talk about it while I can’t .
I can’t do that .
‘Unfair . ’
I knew I insisted on it . I knew that this nonsense complaining was also very childish .
But I couldn’t help it . If I didn’t have this kind of resentment, I couldn’t bear this painful feeling .
I was dizzy, so I raised my arms and covered my eyes .
The hand that slowly handed over the hair that stuck to the face stayed on the forehead again .
I thought as I bit my lips to the sensation that came more clearly because I blocked my view .
There are many gods in this world .
Although there are currently only three gods who set up the temple, there are many gods in the record . From mischievous God that you haven’t heard wherever you are, to ridiculous God who will make you wonder why that is .
So if there’s a god who looks at me personally, he must be a cursed god of cruelty that lives on suffering and sadness .
