Chapter 305 – 12. The Miserable Woman, the Love-Hungry Maid Katra

As her silence continued, her catra teeth gnawed at her lips, and Cassano, unable to match her appearance, threw her hwadu and asked her again.

“Whoa, do you remember getting hurt last time?”

“Yes yes… “

Catra, who answered in her trembling voice, grabbed Cassano’s collar and looked at his lips. Not knowing what to say, she was anxious, but then a cold voice poured out that made the blood in her whole body cool.

“I heard somewhere that the Slave Liberation Corps came. There wasn’t a leader like I saw in the cistern, but people who looked like you were raiding the slave market, rescuing the slaves and stopping the imperial soldiers and me.”

It couldn’t be, no – it was possible. Cartra, recalling the places of the mayors in her head, near the borders of the castle Cassano had mentioned, bit her lips. It was a place that was included as a raid site.

“That’s it. Ah! I went on a picnic to the jungle with the lady today. There are flowers that the lady found there, but they were so beautiful that she brought some and gave them to her wives. So is Madame Rachel, and again… “

“Miss Katra.”

“Yes yes… “

Kuwu, my eyes were blurred. Why are you talking coldly? Even though I am in her arms, I am saddened by the distance as if I am far away. Suddenly, her large hand stroked her hair and covered her cheek.

“Didn’t I say I loved you?”

“Sarah, I love you… !”

Cassano smiled at Catra’s awkward confession of love, as if she didn’t fall behind when it came to emotions, and kissed her on the forehead and quietly whispered.

“I love Ms. Katra too, she is so lovely, beautiful and I feel that she is one of the precious people that Perisha can’t be without. And it’s coming deeper and deeper into my heart.”

“Lord Cassano… “

Catra, who was moved by Cassano’s confession, tried to confess the same with her lips, but before long, she hardened her face at Cassano’s voice, and tightened her grip on her collar. Gripped tightly.

“But Mr. Katra doesn’t seem to think of me very much. Just… She can’t help it, she’s staying here.”

“Yeah, that… “

No, it wasn’t like that, she tried to answer, but Catra swallowed her words, her lips twitching at the feeling of helplessness as if her throat, or her mouth, was filled with water. Cassano, taken by the flow of her figure, lifted her hand from her cheek and whispered quietly.

“A throwaway word that can be thrown away at any time. No, are you just staying there to extract information?”

“The reason you came here in the first place was because of my background investigation.”

An unclean past, but do I have to say this? Catra shed tears at her vulgarity toward Casanova, who stung her, but she couldn’t answer.

“Why, why do you say that… Just hug me, kiss me like yesterday, kiss me like today… “

Drops of transparent tears fell at her feet and scattered, but Cassano grabbed Catra by the shoulders, met her gaze, and drove a nail into her chest once more.

“Katra, I want to cry too. We’ll even talk about it later.”

Catra, who only remembered the sad smile he said he wanted to cry, Cassano’s smirk, and bright smile, was shocked by his first sad smile and couldn’t catch him as he left – empty! The door slammed shut with a loud noise, and the wind that blew gently tickled her nose.

“Lord Cassano, I’m Cassano… “

Her quivering lips, her slender fingers curled up, her cheeks, and the tears that flowed down her chin and dripped from her chin, Katra’s head raced like crazy.

“I, I am… “

Ugh, the thoughts wandering through Katra’s head, who breathed in vain and shed tears once again, bit each other’s tail. Though wounded and bleeding, the thoughts that were once connected cut each other down and seeped into her heart, making Katra even more dizzy.

The captain who saved me.

Cassano who loves me.

Perisha, who loves me.

My dear Perisha.

Cassano I love.

I, I-

‘Captain, where is the captain… ? Please, please, save me… Or, rather, me-‘

Empty black eyes looked out the window. She always thanked her vice-captain, who especially liked moonlit nights, and thanked her for helping her. Why don’t you come after saying that? I, what should I do… ?

Deepening distress and deepening despair, the two emotions swirling, slowly, very slowly, began to drown Katra’s body in the swamp.

***

Looking at the silvery moon hanging in the middle of the sky, the blinding moonlight, Lel clenched his tongue and hurled his dagger at the throats of the shouting soldiers from all sides, hid himself in the chest-deep grass and ran forward.

‘I wasn’t making a deal!’

On the outskirts of the empire, a mercenary was exposed to the empire three days after making a deal with a mercenary guild of less than twenty. He refused once to hit a ridiculous amount of money, and he reported to the Empire even after making a deal with the liberation group-

‘Stupid bastards!’

After swearing at the foolish trader, Rell blamed himself for having had to make a wise deal, chewing on the face of the one person who came to mind and banging his fist on the head.

“Katra… “

She had to save her child – Rell, who had made up her mind to save her once again, hardened her heart as she remembered what her Catra had hinted at before she was taken away. He had a deal gone wrong and he had to start a new one.

‘I’m going back to the capital, this time I have to capture their hearts.’

As the new guild master of the mercenary guild in the imperial capital, it could be simple to seduce him. Being bound by the framework of the empire’s law, humans who want higher places covet gold and silver treasures – Lel, who has lived for hundreds of years and ruminated on the reason he realized, understands! After throwing another dagger at him, he remembered his men.

‘Katra-I won’t save you right away. Please wait a moment.’

“It’s here!!! This way!!!”
“The prince is watching you, you must catch him!!!”
“Wicked bastard, how dare you, how dare you point your sword at the Empire!”

Lell, who had listened to the shouts of the imperial soldiers who were indignant, let out a cold laugh at the low words that insulted him and took out a dagger from his bosom.

Don’t go to get it – Katra.

**

Contrary to Catra’s thoughts, Cassano, who left with a sad smile, visited her room every night as before. But after their conversation last night, the wall between her and Cassano felt colder to the sensitive Katra.

“… “

She neither whispers her love nor hugs her, keeps her distance and nods her head, the attitude of listening to her story pleases the narrator, but the way she listens to her story alone is enough to make Katra’s heart tender did.

“Then let’s go.”

Like an annual event, if you bring up the story of what happened today and what happened in the past, Cassano will also tell you the corresponding story. I felt-

Empty, the door closed, and even the weak warmth that Cassano had filled disappeared. Catra sighed, breathing in the air in the cold room, and began to blame herself with her wide eyes.

‘It’s my fault… Because I, I, didn’t decide properly- So Cassano-sama… ‘

Kwok, clutching her chest and drowning in her self-loathing, Katra looked at the moonlight shining in her room and suddenly noticed the shadows on the landscape of the village beyond the window, and involuntarily stuck her head out.

“Ah.”

-Salangsalang

Perisha, who was standing alone in the scenery outside the window, smiled broadly and waved her hand. What is she doing late at night-even though she came out after checking that she was asleep, she was a little worried about Perisha who came out, but at the cute sight of her smiling and waving, Catra also smiled weakly and waved her hand.

-It was then.

Catra opened the window and tried to jump down at the sudden appearance of a large figure hugging a young lady, but the street lamps installed in the village shone and illuminated the stranger.

“Hehe, Cassanoni, you were surprised.”

“Shh.”

-Jjok, jjook, jjong, jjoob, jjook

The deep kiss he gave to himself, the tight hug, the strong hug that hugged him with his whole body as if he was hugging himself.

As he wrapped his hand around her waist and stroked her hair with his free hand, the moment he looked into Perisha’s eyes with affection, his lips covered hers.

“I, I am… “

Kwaaaaak, Katra, who reproaches herself for holding only her window frame tightly, the scenery she looks at is a lovely lover who relies on a feeble lantern. That seat was her own. Catra, who was even jealous of the lady she served, looked at the two men with wide eyes.
