My Wife Waited in the Wheat Fields - Chapter 82
#15 Notice (3)
Quite a few days have passed since then.
The Western War, which shook the continent, entered a new phase.
infighting of the empire.
The 3rd Prince Credon Mahir, who was at the center of it, countered the situation by allying with the remaining 4 kingdoms until the day before yesterday.
The front line split the land in the west exactly in half and waged an all-out war without a day off, and news of the intense attrition war spread throughout the continent every day.
At the center of the special report was always the sword demon Kasha.
Every time he participated in the war, he piled up hundreds of thousands of corpses to announce the return of the ghosts of the battlefield, and as his notoriety grew, interest in a certain territory in the east increased day by day.
It was Wibin.
The land where Sword Demon Kasha was born, the land where he hid, and the land he left.
Few people tried to figure out what mysteries lurked in the land that led to the birth of such monsters.
And no one has ever touched the land.
-All roads to Wibin are blocked.
That was what the goldsmith, the owner of EW, did.
It was also something that the Western Kingdoms Union joined in doing.
In fact, even with such a defense, it is not impossible to enter and leave Weibin.
Even so, there was one reason why no one wanted to know Wibin anymore.
-This is Kasha’s warning! A warning to never pay attention to it!
Everyone’s life is one law.
No one thought of antagonizing the most heinous name on this continent.
Anyway, while rumors are spreading that only a reporter from the newspaper who first published an article about Wibin and Kasha lives in fear every day.
Wibin in question was busy with farming.
Mid-spring, when rice planting is in full swing.
The terrorism of that day was also a day in the past where people can now say, ‘It almost happened.’
“Madam, it’s time to cough.”
Tyria was not doing very well.
The entire Portman family was like that.
They felt more keenly than anyone else that the returning owner was a ghost on the battlefield.
They were the ones who realized his vacancy and the changed Wei Bin more than anyone else.
Tyria has changed since the day Elric left.
She no longer displayed the majesty associated with Hoven Portman.
The face, which was always expressionless, became that of a sick person, and the clear tone changed into a shaking form whenever he said something.
In the Portman family, Tyria was known as the Iron Lady.
The past was like that, and now everyone was treating her as a piece of glass that would soon break.
To that extent, Tyria was in danger.
The servants spent their days worrying about her.
“lady… .”
The maid took the risk of rudeness and opened the door with a snap.
It wasn’t Tyria’s room.
It was Elric’s room after he left.
She was suffering from insomnia.
One day, when I was in pain from not getting enough sleep to the extent that my bottoms were dyed black, I always went into Elric’s bedroom like this and buried myself in his blanket and fell asleep.
It’s not even a deep sleep.
The moment the maid opened the door, Tyria opened her eyes with a haggard look on her face.
“… Has it already been that time?”
“Would you like to sleep a little longer?”
“… .”
Tyria licked her dry lips a few times, then slowly got out of the blanket.
It was a weak move.
He frowned as if the sunlight pouring through the window was bothering him.
When the head maid winked, the maids drew the curtains.
Only then did Tyria beckon.
Aldio came forward and handed over the documents.
She never went to the Oval Office.
“… This is the state of farming.”
Tyria sat down on a table full of knife marks, checked them out, and answered in a cracked voice.
“Take care of it like this.”
“Yes, the meal… .”
“It doesn’t pull.”
Tyria said that and bit people with gestures.
no one could object
I just want that poor woman to cheer up.
*
Another few days passed like that.
Tyria was still stuck in the mansion in a precarious state, and Aldio and the maid made a big decision.
“Let’s make the madam come out.”
“Ah! Get some fresh air and some sunlight, and you’ll feel refreshed in no time! Isn’t the weather nice too?”
“Is there a way?”
The two were engrossed.
Then, I just had an idea.
“ah! The herb that the lady planted in the flower bed has now sprouted buds! How about doing that?”
“Good idea!”
The two immediately put their plan into action.
*
Tyria hated sunlight.
To be precise, it was painful that a new day without Elric had begun.
It seems like more than a month has passed since that day, but the wound still hasn’t healed.
Each moment brings a new form of pain.
Tyria thought to me.
‘why?’
Why did he want to leave like that?
Had he so cruelly brushed himself off?
Was life here more painful than life on the battlefield?
Did you make him suffer?
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that he didn’t know him very well yet.
now you will know that
I didn’t try to see what kind of person he was, what thoughts he had, and what kind of pain he had.
It was for that reason that I visited Elric’s room.
I want to know what kind of person you are that I don’t know.
What he discovered was that his bed was small enough for only one person to lie down.
On his desk, there was a sword mark that had been carved over a long period of time.
And that he put the bed in a position where the morning sun pours over his head when he opens his eyes.
I tried to live like that.
I tried to think the same thing every morning, and I guessed what he must have thought while living and sleeping.
What kind of feelings did you have after returning from wandering around the battlefield for 10 years?
What would it be like to hide that fact?
As the war deepened, what did he think while facing suspicious guests?
The answer was still vague.
It was difficult to understand others.
From noble mtl dot com
“M-Mr.”
Ardio came in.
“Could you please come out for a moment?”
Tyria was reluctant.
Still, I asked why.
Because they don’t know they’re looking at you.
“Why is that?”
“The weather is very nice today. It reminded me of inspecting the entire mansion myself on a day like this… .”
It was something I learned from Hoven Portman.
-It is easy to spot dust on a sunny day. Checking the degree of damage to items and checking the layout of the entire mansion are good to do on days like this.
He was a blunt person.
just like yourself
“… I see.”
Suddenly Elric thought of looking at himself and thinking of his father.
Wanting to erase those feelings, Tyria decided to go out.
Aldio’s expression brightened.
It was the same with the head maid.
Tyria put the shawl over her shoulder and moved slowly.
I didn’t move at all, but my steps staggered a little.
“Come down slowly! Let’s go to the garden first!”
I barely nodded and left the mansion.
It was only then that Tyria realized that the world had become so warm.
the seasons have changed
already this much.
“Madam, come here quickly!”
The maid said with a bright smile.
Tyria followed the maid step by step.
The eyes of the users were fixed.
When I looked up, they were all smiling brightly.
The feeling of sorry soars.
However, the thought of escaping from the lethargy that still weighed down the body seldom came to mind.
The end that barely moved like that.
“braided! The buds in the flower bed are already this full!”
Tyria’s body suddenly stopped.
“You raised it so hard when spring began, didn’t you? Now, in just a few more days, the flowers will bloom brightly!”
“Aren’t you proud?!”
Even Rdio joined in and made a fuss.
However, Tyria, who was looking at it, could not get along.
rumbling-
Tears were flowing down his cheeks.
“M-Madam?!”
“You man! What’s happening! He said he would like it if I showed him!”
“Oh, no… that is… !”
The voices of the two men drifted apart.
At that moment, there was a sensation in my head.
The fact that I forgot, the sense of remembering things that I couldn’t remember well as if it was hidden in the fog.
What plays is a conversation I had with Elric.
My heart ached terribly.
-Isn’t this town like that? There are only things that shine throughout the year. Seedlings are green in spring, and in summer they become luxuriant and bright. Autumn is all golden, and winter shines clean again.
It wasn’t.
-I think I really missed this. while you were away.
he lied
-When spring comes. How about planting flowers?
He wouldn’t have wanted to leave.
If you are leaving, if you have not given affection to anything, if this place has been so painful.
I wouldn’t have done anything to promise the future.
Suddenly the words came out.
It was raw, unrefined language.
“… What a fool.”
Tyria’s expression distorted.
It was like anger, and it was like a smile.
“Go, really… .”
One thing was certain.
Tyria’s voice gained strength for the first time.
“… Truly, he is such a fool as to be punished with a rod.”
The head maid and Aldio’s faces went blank.
Meanwhile, Tyria continued to curse Elric.
It wasn’t rude.
She had never heard of vulgar swearing in her life, so even swearing seemed cute.
“Why would people do that? Shouldn’t you just tell me if you have any concerns? If there is something difficult, shouldn’t we think about it together! But I always suffer alone! Looks like I’m not there!”
“M-Mani… .”
“It was like that then too. Aren’t married couples dependent on each other? However, every time I try to solve the problem by myself. If you judge and move alone in an invisible place, you know that it’s for me! You don’t know, how can I compliment you?!”
“lady… ?”
“How in the world can people be so stupid… !”
While spewing out her emotions, Tyria let out a laugh.
It is because there were thoughts that came to mind while feeling unfamiliar and relieved at the same time at the disgusting sound I made in front of others for the first time in my life.
‘… I am the same.’
The swearing he had done before was a matter that applied to himself as well.
Not being honest, hiding your heart and enduring it alone, knowing that doing so is for the sake of the other person.
‘me too… .’
Both Elric and himself were there.
It was hot inside.
It was then that laughter broke out.
Oh, that was it.
After all, the mind was something that could be clearly defined only when it was organized in language.
It was something that could be conveyed only when it was united in the shape of words and formed in the form of a sentence.
Haven’t done that yet.
Neither himself nor Elric.
Tyria turned back as it was.
“… I must go.”
“Oh, where are you talking about?”
“I must go to the family head. I think we should go and have a clear talk.”
“lady! It is a battlefield!”
“No, that’s right! Knowing what the West is like now… !”
“There is a householder in a place like that, so I have to go even more.”
At that moment, a look of astonishment appeared on both of their faces.
“What if that rude person gets a knee injury again?!”
She was always expressionless, because she had a really stern face.
For the first time, the two felt alive in Tyria.
*
Danal hurriedly ran to stop Tyria, who was leaving with her belongings.
“Oh, madam! No!”
“Get out of the way.”
“What the heck! Absolutely no!!!”
thud! Danal, who hit her head on the floor, was desperate.
Elric, who left for the battlefield, asked for her safety, so he couldn’t take her with his limbs.
“You’d better step on me!”
At that moment, Tyria’s foot really landed on top of her head, and Danal stepped back in fright.
Tyria asked.
“Are you still thinking about stopping it?”
Danal was worried.
It is self-evident that she does not know Elric’s request.
Maybe it’s something you don’t want to know.
However, the worthwhile step is to convey his request to Tyria.
If so, wouldn’t it be possible to at least stop the steps toward the battlefield?
A thought came to mind in an instant, and after weighing it, Danal made a decision.
“Go, the head of the family asked for the safety of the lady!”
Of course, the choice wasn’t always right.
Tyria’s eyes became grim.
Something became affectionate again.
“… Yes, there are more things to go and ask.”
Just like that, Tyria passed Danal.
It felt very crotch-shrinking.
“All right, Captain! What now?”
Ricky and the members made a fuss and asked.
Tears flowed from Danal’s cheeks.
“What about these bastards… .”
Follow me and protect me with your whole body.
Even one scratch on that woman’s body would be the moment we die.
Danal hated the world.
