Chapter 300 – 12. Miserable Woman, Love-Hungry Maid Katra
Rachel yesterday, Eluca today, and Sierra tomorrow. The tight schedule and tightening of the women made me tired, but thanks to my stamina, I was able to endure it stably.
“Whoa… “
Leaning against the window and gazing at the night sky like now would have been impossible if it had been me in the past, but it was a break I could take because E Luca, who had stretched out a long time ago, pushed me away saying, “It’s impossible anymore!”
In the hallway of Sierra’s house, the largest where the women I brought or visited could stay, I vaguely heard Tododo’s footsteps running on the floor as I stood there and stared at the night sky.
-Tadadadak!
Small footsteps, swift and emotional, Tsuruka, Erucana and Minerva had big feet. Sierra’s feet were a bit small, but they weren’t as small as the sound I hear now, so I guessed the owner of the footsteps and immediately turned around and looked at the hallway with my back to the window.
“Sir Cassano!”
Booung, Perisha, who ran like a squirrel, flew through the sky like a flying squirrel and rushed at me. As I held Perisha in her arms, who flew in with her limbs stretched out to ask for a hug, I greeted her by rubbing my cheek against her soft, smooth cheek.
“How are you?”
“Of course, yes, but I’m sorry you didn’t come to say hello right away… “
“I’m sorry, I didn’t have time to come to you because you were squeezed by my sisters. Even now, it’s just a way to lay down and come out.”
Sniffing, Perisha, who buried her nose in the nape of her neck and twitched the tip of her nose, exclaimed in surprise with a smirk.
“It’s real! Hmmm, it smells strong. Haven’t you washed yet?”
“Yes, well, I was going to go in after looking around for a while.”
“Well… “
The innocent girl’s face was slightly stained with lust. As I gently stroked her hips, which supported her so that she wouldn’t shake, and stared at her eyes as she rolled from side to side, Perisha smiled softly and said cautiously, as if not beating my chest.
“Ah, it would be nice if you hugged me, but I wanted you to go see Katra with me, can’t you?”
Perisha, who spoke like Tsuruka with her eyes shining, put her hands together and looked at me. Katra- Come to think of it, I only listened to the stories and didn’t go to see them again. I had no one to talk to anyway, and I had to talk, so I nodded right away.
“Are you going right now?”
I asked, stroking Perisha’s white earlobe with her thumb, and she immediately nodded. Perisha pouted her lips and said:
“… I just kept telling them to go back when the two of us were together, so it’s good that Cassano-sama went with us.”
“What did you say to me to tell you to go back?”
That Katra, who loved Perisha so much, said that, did she go against her heart or did her distraught Katra shake her heart every time she saw Perisha? As she recalled the two cases, I asked a question, and Perisha looked at me and said calmly.
“He asked me to stay with him. I have to take an heir class from my father, but I feel so empty without Katra, and it’s so uncomfortable to live alone… “
Perishia, who answered quietly, perhaps embarrassed, pouted her lips while avoiding my eyes. What does it mean to be uncomfortable? I thought and smiled at the crooked knots, messy platinum hair, and unorganized clothes.
“Is this room right?”
– Sarak, Sarak, Sarak
“Yeah… “
I thought I would end up like her lion if I left her messy hair. I set her Perisha down in her hallway and went to Catra’s room, brushing her hair with the comb she gave me. Standing in front of an isolated room in the far corner of her hallway, where no one would visit, Perisha answered that this room was right as she hummed to see if her hair was smooth and brushed.
“Okay, let’s go in.”
– Smart smart
After briefly knocking on the door three times, the silence subsided. Are you sleeping? As Perisha tilted her head and furrowed her eyebrows, a cracked voice came from the room.
[Please come in.]
-Kiik
When I opened the door wide with the sound of the hinges, I met eyes with the figure from the back looking at the blue moon through the window. Katra looked out the window, her hair neatly tied back and her hands clasped behind her back, staring blankly at the moon in the sky, then slowly turned her head.
“Good night, lady and Mr. Cassano.”
According to Tsuruka, she was not allowed to leave the house, but she was allowed to live freely in her mansion, but Katra’s appearance now looked like a bird with broken wings. I want to fly far away to my hometown, but the sad bird with broken wings, locked in a cage, and the bright eyes staring at me, but I couldn’t open my mouth easily.
“Katra, where does it hurt… ?”
Taking a quick step forward, Perisha approached her old maid with a worried voice. Did she get emotional when she saw her haggard? Transparent water droplets formed around her eyes.
“No, thanks. By the way, seeing you come late at night like this, you must have something to say.”
Chuck’s calloused palm blocked Perisha. Katra, who held out her hand to restrain the lady serving her, asked in a steady voice the purpose of her visit, and when she was about to answer first, Perisha began to speak to Katra in a questioning voice, wondering if she was filled with emotions.
“Katra, my… I’m sorry. Stay with me like before. I can’t do without Katra… “
A mournful voice caught the spirit of Katra, who was looking elsewhere. Catra, who flinched as if she was being sucked in, opened her lips as she looked at Perisha’s eyes, which she had been avoiding since her first answer.
The black eyes, wandering in unfamiliar emotions, rolled around and stared at Perisha. Impression, hesitation, pity, worry – the eyes filled with countless emotions were covered with tightly closed eyelids, but when they appeared again, they contained only one emotion.
Resignation.
“Sorry. Lady, I fully understand your feelings and thank you, but-“
Turbuck, turbuck, Catra stood tall in front of Perisha, who was crying and clutching at the end of her one-piece dress. Unable to contain her tingling feelings, Katra reached out her small hand and put it on her young lady’s cheek, pushing away Perisha with a slightly wet voice.
“I’m really sorry I couldn’t give you the answer you wanted. I have already betrayed you, and even if I had even the slightest heart, I cannot answer you now.”
Kuuk, Catra, who clutched the soft Perishia’s cheek and smiled weakly, answered quietly. Since the conversation between the two came first, I took a step back and looked around, but it was really sad to see the mixed feelings because they didn’t mesh like that.
“I, I cannot do without Katra, Katra is my friend, no, already family. I miss Katra who was always by my side and hugged me, but Katra also has her own story… “
Quickly, Perisha, who ate her flowing nose and raised her head proudly, slowly pushed Katra’s hand away. Catra’s eyes trembled as if she were watching a baby bird push away its mother bird, but Persia rather looked at it and said as if she had made up her mind.
“Someday, when Katra has nowhere to go- or when it’s hard, always come back here. I’ll wait forever, so I don’t know what’s going on because Katra won’t tell me, but please tell me later… “
Round and round, Perisha turned her body around, collided with me, quietly whispered, “I’ll see you later,” And ran out of her room. After her old nanny left, the one she was most attached to was Catra, but Perisha was proud to know that Catra had a story left, so she withdrew herself.
“I heard your captain came to visit.”
As her heart throbbed and she placed her hand on her swollen chest and pursed her lips, Carra gave her the information she was looking for. Katra looked at me with her eyes wide open, startled even though it was such a small news.
“Captain… “
With a rattle, Katra’s head fell forward. Did you even split up? Catra, who clenched her fists and muttered something trembling, quietly raised her head and looked at me.
I could clearly sense that she had a grudge against me, from her cold face and lack of emotion.
“Looking at you like that makes my heart hurt… “
“… Please send me back, isn’t it possible enough for you, the chief of this village?”
“That’s true, but you can’t just send back the person who came to investigate me, can you? Besides, your captain hurt my woman, and I think it’ll be a little easier to repay the same.”
Actually, I don’t think so much, but Katra smirked at her to look at her. But she was Kat, and she just looked at me with an emotionless face, as if she didn’t care what she was doing.
“Why don’t you just sit quietly next to Perisha?”
“… It can’t be. The grace received from the leader will be repaid by helping her in her cause, because that’s how it was decided.”
“I think it would be better to just help separately than to remain in the criminal group and repay the favor… “
Katra’s eyes, which sank with the sound of grinding teeth, were stained with anger.
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“It’s not something you do recklessly, isn’t it true? It’s not like there’s a law for nothing, ah! Of course, I am not disparaging the victims who were unjustly enslaved or kidnapped. Because I think it’s the right thing to do to save those people.”
If only I had fallen into a bandit’s den or back alley rather than a village, I would have been quietly taken away and thrown into a coal mine, or quietly sold as a slave. Katra, soaked in her anger, answered quietly as she calmed down her boiling anger, as if she felt sincerity.
“… You know nothing.”
I don’t know anything, I just came to say hello for a while, but feeling that the tryst is going to be long, I quietly sighed and stepped closer to Katra.
