My Villains Episode 198

44. Dream (8)

Early morning in November.

Even though there was no moonlight, the wind and rain were strong.

The wooden bar that had been placed as a bar at the entrance to the Oressa Tavern rolled down in vain after three or four rattles. Afterwards, a group of guests opened the door and appeared.

Shoot 0]’-

Wind and rain poured in through the open door. The bar quickly became cluttered due to the unexpected visit.

“… … “Holy shit, it’s splashing.”

“Hey, close the door first!”

Following the grunting of the mercenaries, the scraggly-haired man named ‘Hagon’, the owner’s eldest son, who had been sleeping inside the bar, stood up, wiping his face.

“Ugh, damn it. “What are you doing in the middle of the night?”

The annoyance, irritation, and sleepiness that had filled his face disappeared in an instant as soon as he spotted the people lined up at the entrance.

“Uh, who… …

The door closed again, and the eight people who entered the bar through the early morning wind and rain pulled back their cloaks and revealed their faces.

Two were armed with iron helmets, chainmail, federal flags, and javelins, and two were wearing neat clothes made of linen.

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

How did you recognize it at a glance?

Unlike those who were dressed as soldiers and servants, the remaining four were fully adorned with seemingly expensive clothes and accessories.

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

“Are you the owner here?”

“… … The owner is my father. Well, it doesn’t really matter.”

“Right. “I want to get out of the rain for a while. It’s no problem, right?”

“well-”

Hargon swept his chestnut-like beard with the back of his hand and looked around the inside of the tavern.

“As you can see, there aren’t many seats. It’s a shabby place, so your precious guests will be a bit uncomfortable… …

“I think there’s quite a bit of room in the back.”

“Most of them are used as warehouses or drying rooms. “There are similar rooms, but both are full.”

As he said, the rooms already had separate owners. The first room was occupied by Ellen, and the second room was occupied by the charcoal maker’s family.

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

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

The person who said that was a young woman who appeared to be in her early to mid 20s.

She was wearing a red velvet kirtle and a shoulder shawl. She was a lively beauty with dark eyebrows and large eyes.

“You’re resting here? It smells damp… …

“Hold on a moment, Toffee. “Still, you have to avoid the rain.”

At the young woman’s gentle words, the young woman looked down and made a snorting sound.

The second woman appeared to be in her mid to late teens. She was wearing a pure white satin dress and a blue coat draped over her shoulders. She was a beautiful girl who gave the impression of frailty due to her slender arms and her pale skin exposed underneath.

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

“… … But, it’s like there’s no place to sit?”

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

As one of the guards responded and approached the table set up against the wall, another woman shook her head.

“That won’t happen. “The space is already limited, so don’t do anything for nothing.”

The third woman appeared to be in her mid-30s. She was wearing a black standing coat, low-cut across her chest and tight at the waist, while the hem of her skirt was ruffled below her waist.

Because the material of the fabric was thin chiffon, the curve from her voluptuous breasts to her slim waist was clearly visible. In addition, her long eyes and plump lips gave her an alluring look.

She looked at the table where me, Utequai, Munchi, and Heyla were sitting and smiled faintly.

“I guess I can sit over there.”

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

“hmm? “My husband is here, what’s the problem?”

Mibu, dressed in black, approached the man standing behind her, placed her hand on his shoulder, and smiled.

“Is that so? Lord Nitervelam, my love?”

Well, it looks like that old man is the best boss.

The man called ‘Sir Nitervelam’ was an old man whose age was difficult to estimate. He wore a shiny purple tunic, a silver belt, high-toed sandals, and a fur-lined coat.

They were all of good quality, but they did not look very suitable for an old man. The clothes seemed a little big compared to my curved waist and dwarfed shoulders.

Well, so to speak, it looks like an old nobleman who was about to die borrowed clothes from his son.

The old man nodded with unfocused eyes. Then Mibu, dressed in black, pressed her lips to his wrinkled cheek and turned to look at me.

“There, handsome young man. “If you don’t mind, can we rest at that table?”

Of the four people sitting at the table, the question was specifically directed at me.

Well, it wasn’t anything particularly strange.

I must have looked relatively easy-going with my eyes closed, rather than Utekwai and Mungchi, who looked like strangers at first glance, and Hayla, who was reading a book with an expressionless face.

Instead of answering, I glanced at the old man and three women dressed in luxurious clothes. It was because I felt something that was difficult to explain, whether it was a sense of discomfort or déjà vu.

Lord Nitervelam, Nitervelam… … .

That’s strange. It’s a name I’ve never heard before, but it’s a face I feel like I’ve seen before.

As I remained silent, the eyes of the rest of the group, except Sir Nitervelam, turned to me. Unlike the guard’s wary expressions, the three women were looking at me with curiosity filled in their sparkling eyes.

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

Seeing me quietly scratching my eyebrows, a pretty girl in a blue coat smiled softly and whispered.

“I guess I’m deaf.”

“is it? “On the outside, he looks fine.” The beauty in the red velvet kurtle narrowed her brows, humming, and then she started talking to me.

“There you are. I can not hear that? “You’re not really deaf, are you?”

“sister!”

At her bold question, the pretty girl in the blue coat opened her eyes and burst into laughter.

“What if you say that?”

“why? “What’s wrong?”

“That man might really be deaf.”

“Then it doesn’t matter. “You wouldn’t have heard it anyway.”

“Phew, sister!”

As the two women chatted like that, the man who was lying near the fireplace pulled up his blanket and stood up.

“damn. “Those things are really loud, really.”

The one who stood up was Fritz, a mercenary with ponytails. The guy was scratching his broom-like hair and spouting out all kinds of swear words.

When the dirty-looking mercenary spoke harsh words, the women fell silent as if in shock, and the guards frowned.

“This mercenary bastard, how dare he swear about safety?”

“Damn it, what are these bastards?”

Fritz spat into the fireplace and turned his head towards me.

“lily! “If you don’t want to answer, should I tell you to fuck off instead?”

I sighed and answered.

“Don’t show off and stay still.”

“But, Nari, I can’t sleep because these bastards are so noisy-”

“And try spitting indoors one more time. “I will really beat you up.”

“… … yep.”

With that quiet reply, Fritz lay down on the pavement. And he covered himself with a blanket and muttered, ‘Fuck it, everyone is just fucking with me.’

“… … “I can hear everything.”

“ O ” “百.

As I was contemplating whether to throw a beer glass at the back of the head of the guy who was flinching his shoulders, Mibu, who was blinking in surprise, slowly approached me.

“lily? “Are you a nobleman?”

“… … He is a nobleman. “It’s just an article, though.”

“Ah, you are a knight. “It was a car that I thought was somewhat old-fashioned.”

She smiled and opened her palm and pointed at the old man in the group.

“It’s a good thing. “My husband, Lord Nitervelam, is also a knight.”

“I see.”

“May I ask Hamza?”

“Well, it’s called phoenix.” The beauty in the red cuttlefish was surprised at my words and clapped her hands.

“Lord Phoenix? Could it be that he is the beheader of the creeping dragon and the unveiled witch, and the bloody beacon of South Harbor?”

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

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

“Oh, I heard that too. “It wasn’t a brutal murderer with eyes and hair as black as the night sky.”

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

I nodded with an effortless expression.

“… … yes. “I am Phoenix.”

“It’s really amazing. “I can’t believe I get to meet Prince Silver’s red knight in a place like this.”

“No more childish nicknames, just call me Poy Nix.”

At my firm words, the black-clothed woman made a shocked expression and nodded.

“Then, will you give me a chance to sit with you? “I’d like to talk to a renowned knight.” Munchi, who was sitting next to me, twitched his hand every time Mibu took a step closer. And when Mibu, who came right in front of him, slightly bent down, his body stiffened as if he was going to jump out at any moment.

I took my gaze away from the breasts visible through the sagging skirt and looked back at the bundle.

“… … “Is it a bunch?”

The guy turned his head at my call.

The black pupils were tightly constricted, depicting ferocious Four Hundred Eyes. For a moment, Mungchi blinked quickly and showed his usual bright eyes.

“what’s the matter?”

“… … Oh, no. “I use it without knowing.”

«Uh 99 “5三

Why are you like this? The bundle looks a little strange today.

… … Um, maybe?

I was silent for a moment and stroked his head.

“A bunch of us, have you caught a cold?”

“to? No, I don’t use it to catch a cold.”

“But just in case, would you like to go to the fireplace and get some fire?”

When I smiled and spoke quietly, Munggi blinked, said ‘eh’, and then nodded.

As the bundle left the table, I smiled and looked back at the black-clad tail.

“I kept you waiting. “I’m sorry, ma’am.”

“No, it’s okay.”

“You must be tired from the wind and rain on your journey at night. If it’s okay, please sit here and take a rest.”

“Can I do that, sir?”

“of course.”

I looked back at Mibu’s group and added.

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

“Don’t worry about us.”

Those were the words of the guard.

“It’s enough to be able to avoid rain under a roof.”

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

“My love, come here.”

Mibu, dressed in black, led the old man to a chair and took a seat next to him. Sir Niter Bellam, sitting in his chair, nodded his head and quickly fell asleep.

The beautiful girl with the red cuttle hesitated for a moment, looking at me, and in the meantime, the beautiful girl with the blue coat quickly came over and took the seat next to me.

The pretty girl who was sitting on the chair and adjusting 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 made her burst into laughter. It was a very lively smile appropriate for his age.

“Uh, by the way, did you just call me ma’am?”

“yes. “I heard the soldier call me that earlier.”

“Oh, I see.”

The beautiful girl in the blue coat smiled brightly as if she was relieved.

“I wondered if I was already old enough to be called wife.”

“aha.”

I smiled and shook my head.

“Not at all, ma’am. At first glance, you look like a virgin who just had her coming-of-age ceremony.” “really?”

“yes. Oh, of course – you’re dressed neatly, so there’s no room for misunderstanding.”

A beautiful woman in her early to mid 30s, a beautiful woman in her early to mid 20s, and a beautiful girl in her mid to late teens each showed off different charms and personalities, but had one thing in common. All three were hiding their hair with white veils or head scarves.

I glanced at Sir Nitervelam sitting across from me, the black-clad beau sitting next to him, and the beauty in the red kirtle and the girl in the blue coat sitting on either side of them.

“I guess three people, that is.”

“They are Kelsen, Ganesh, and Topelin.”

“yes?”

The pretty girl smiled softly and pointed to the other women one by one.

“Your name. “Her eldest sister is Kel Senne, her second sister is Ganesh, and I am Topelin.”

“… … Oh, I see. Lady Kelsen, Lady Ganesh, Lady Toppelin.”

I gently moistened my dry lips.

“Well, it looks like Madame Kelsen, Madame Ganesh, and Madame Toppelin are all married, but there seems to be only one man who appears to be your partner.”

Ganesh, the beauty in the red cuttlefish, nodded to my indirect question.

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

“Huh, crazy-”

The mercenary, Eson, who was leaning against the wall behind me, let out a low curse and a sigh that I couldn’t tell if it was exclamation or sighing.

“Oh my, I didn’t even know.”

As all eyes focused on him, the chubby Esson waved his hand with an embarrassed expression.

“I just did it because I was jealous. “Don’t worry about it, okay.”

When I glanced back, I saw several mercenaries other than Eson looking at the old man and the three beauties with curious eyes.

Isn’t everyone sleeping?

As I was thinking about this and looking at the eyes shining with anger or jealousy, I suddenly made eye contact with Archer Cole.

After seeing that his deep blue eyes were shining sharply, I smiled secretly and blinked one eye. Cole narrowed his eyes at my unexpected wink, but his complexion quickly recovered.

After seeing Cole slowly get up from his seat, I turned towards the road table and shrugged my shoulders.

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

“What’s the secret?”

“yes. “This is the secret to having not one, not two, but three beautiful wives.”

Ganesh spoke with a sad expression on my face.

“It’s money, right?”

“You mean money?”

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

“Oh, I see.”

I continued, hiding my nervousness with an interesting smile.

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

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

As Ganesh smiled cynically, Kelsenne, the black-clad beau, made a stern expression.

“Ganesh, if you speak like that, you will not only dishonor Sir Niter Velam but also us.”

“But what if it’s true?”

“Ganeshi.”

Kelsenne smiled softly as if admonishing her younger sibling.

“You and I love our husbands not just because of money. “Lord Phoenics will misunderstand.”

When Ganesh crossed his arms and closed his mouth, I pulled up a chair and sat down, pretending to show interest.

“It’s not just about money. “Could you please continue the story, Madame Kelsen?”
