Chapter 112 – Chapter 12

The air stopped.
The aristocrats who had been gathering and talking with each other until just now.
The noble ladies asked where they got the ornaments.

Everyone opened their mouths to watch the three of them enter the party garden.

‘Are they the Wolf Mercenaries?’
‘Nonsense. Those beauties?’
‘What is that child? So cute!’
‘I want to take it home with me!’

Men were fascinated by the beauty of Lillian and Priscilla, and women by Kaicent.

If the two charm men with their looks, Kaicent seduced the opposite sex with her beauty and pheromones from her lineage.

“Kuh, keuh. How are you? I’m the Count of Benegal. Would you like a drink?”
“Thank you for the courtesy of Benegal.”

The Count of Benegal is a court aristocrat who does not have a territory, but receives some authority and helps to govern the capital and other areas under the king’s command.

He was commissioned by the royal family to greet the members of Wolf’s Mercenary Corps when they arrived.

At first it annoyed me to have to talk to some savage mercenary or something, but now I’m glad I got the order.

Lillian and Priscilla graciously received the cups Benegal had given them, and gently practiced the manners of a lady by kneeling lightly and bowing their heads.

“I heard that the Benegalese courtier plays a big role in the royal administration. As expected of someone who does a noble job, the distribution is huge. Greet lowly mercenaries like us.”
“Huh-huh. As expected, people who do great things naturally have a sense of dignity. I learned something good.”

Lillian lifted Benegal up first and Priscilla applied gilding. Benegal, who was praised for the enchanting voices of the two beauties, had to desperately hold back the corner of her mouth rising without her knowledge.

“But I heard that the leader of the Wolf Mercenary Corps is a man…”
“Of course, it’s a camouflage to hide the fact that I’m a woman. It’s not that there aren’t many mercenaries with a female mercenary as the leader, but as you can see, I have a pretty face. While looking for a helmet to cover my face, if I’m going to cover my face, I’ll just pretend like a man. I want to disguise myself as a man.”
“That’s right. He certainly has that kind of beauty, but he can’t help but be the captain among the tough mercenaries.”
“Thank you for your understanding, Count.”

During that conversation, Priscilla tilted her glass slightly and drank her wine.

“Huh~ Soft, stable and inclusive taste. It’s the Empire’s Reinzed wine.”
“Ohh. Then how old can you tell?”
“Unfortunately, I’m inexperienced. Still, if you dig into the depth of this taste… I’d expect it to be between 20 and 24 years.”
“It’s 24 years old. Matching the aging year by taste.”
“Fortunately, I avoided embarrassing things. But, unlike the imperial wine, I think the wine of Harlot Kingdom, which is light and clean, is better for raising the mood.”

She knew where the wine came from, matched the year of maturation through taste, and at the end praised the wine of Harlot Kingdom, showing a different elegance than the ignorant mercenaries.

Of course, it was possible because it was an aristocratic family well-versed enough to marry into a royal family, so there were many opportunities to taste such high-end alcohol.

Were you underage at the time?
In this world, the standards for minors are different, and even if they are minors, they don’t say anything about drinking alcohol.

Anyway, when he showed an eye, an old-fashioned way of speaking, and courtesy that he couldn’t show as a mere mercenary, nobles who were worried that he might be going through something dirty started flocking to him.

In particular, after getting to know a man, their beauty, which is not vulgar but exudes natural lust, became the biggest reason for male aristocrats to flock to it.

“Puha.”

Kaicent, who barely escaped the crowd of nobles, started looking for a quiet place.

In my heart, I want to get rid of the nobles who rush at her wives, but I have already predicted this situation with everyone, so now I need a quiet place to calm these uncomfortable feelings.

However, such Kaicent was also blocked by those who were interested in him.

“Are you the wizard of Wolf’s Mercenary Corps?”
“Yes? Ma, that’s right…Ah, no! That’s right!”

The young ladies who were dressing up in flowers came to ask her to visit her husband, taking advantage of the royal party.

“Kick-kick-kick.”
“You don’t have to speak so harshly.”
“That, but…”
“Only talk comfortably when you’re with us.”
“Yes, yes…”

Kaicent’s constitution, which is easily liked by all members of the opposite sex, except for those who have had bad feelings from the beginning or who has a strong will enough to control his own mind, shined here as well.

“Oh my, your hair is so pretty.”
“Your skin is white and smooth without any blemishes.”
“…”

Caught by noble ladies, Kaicent was petted here and there like a doll by them and received all sorts of cuteness.

“Are you ashamed?”
“Kyaa~ What is this~ It’s cute~”
“No… Please don’t tease me…”
“…”

When Kai Sent, blushing and embarrassed, closed his eyes tightly and resisted, telling him not to tease him, the young ladies around him stared blankly for a moment.

“Hey, won’t you come to my family? I’ll feed you.”
“No, their family is an insignificant family. Come to our family. I will take responsibility and take care of it.”
“What? You’re from the same viscount family as me, but nothing special?”
“Because my family lives much better?”

And the attacks are more intense than before.

Kaicent’s resistance was so cute and cute that it ignited the desire of the young girls to raise them for the rest of their lives.

Kaicent, who is so cute and lovable that even in her original world, she begs to live with her for the rest of her life because her older sisters, who have enough combat power to invade a planet alone, will take care of her.

As a scramble was about to break out between the young ladies over Kaicent, the atmosphere turned violent.

“Nuna…Sisters…Please don’t fight…”

He thought that if he continued like this, the atmosphere would become stern and the party would be ruined, so he used the method he used to stop his older sisters from fighting.

The angle of looking up at the young ladies taller than herself, the watery eyes and voice.

When he used the method his body remembered, the young ladies stared blankly at Kai Sent as they were fighting, then hurriedly began to make excuses.

“Oh, no. We’re not fighting, are we?”
“Yeah! We’re not fighting.”
“We’re not fighting? It’s good…”
“Aww…!”
“Sigh…!”

The look of the boy with a sigh of relief and a relaxed smile melted away the threatening atmosphere of the moment.

All of them thought this when they heard the news that they were coming to the Wolf Mercenary Corps and the fact that the magician belonging to them was Lee Jong.

‘No matter what happens, I won’t approach a filthy alien!’

“Hey, would you like to try this?”
“Ah~ yum. Please drink, older sister.”
“Try this too.”
“Wait. It’s me next?”
“If you eat sweets, you should feed them something else.

Now, with Kaicent at the center, they huddled together like feeding cute pets, so they couldn’t feed them.

For the aristocrats, Yi Chong brought the risk that their power could be usurped by insignificant commoners.

That’s what people from the 21st century Earth did, but even taking that into account, alien species from other worlds force the common sense of the world they used to live on.

People hear what they want to hear.

Not all heterogeneous species are bad, but to nobles who think negatively of heterogeneous species, all kinds of problems caused by heterogeneous species were the first to notice.

At least, the eastern side, including the Harlot Kingdom, is on the moderate side of the western continent.

Countries located at the western end of the Western Continent experienced extreme damage as heterogeneous people took part of their territory while creating nations and powers without permission, to the extent that they officially legalized hunting and enslavement of heterogeneous species.

However, such circumstances were of no value to the ladies who had melted away in Kaicent’s cuteness.

Like that, the atmosphere of the party is quickly centered around Lillian, Priscilla, and Kaicent.

“Countess Akina Karaiden, the royal guardian who protects the kingdom from the kingdom of the dead, enters.”

The attendant announced Count Akina’s position.

“What?”
“Count Akina?”
“Why is the Marquis who hasn’t been to any party so far?”

Count Akina, who used to protect the Kingdom of Harlot from the Kingdom of Lucy Arkenel and now the Kingdom of the Dead, is famous for not participating in any parties.

Even if there is a royal party, it is common to ignore it for the reason of protecting the kingdom from the kingdom of the dead.

Still, out of courtesy, I sent an invitation, but this time, for some reason, I attended the party.

While everyone’s eyes gathered like that, Count Akina appeared.

It wasn’t dress-style clothes like other noble ladies, but pants and clothes that looked like custom military uniforms.

He was white with gold decorations and red accents, and was a bit tight for ease of movement.

He’s not tight enough to stick to her body, but enough to see the style of her body.

“You look great as always.”
“Wearing pants like a man to a royal party.”
“I don’t even feel attractive as a woman.”

This world takes a bad look at a woman wearing pants at an aristocratic party.

In addition, Akina, who has been big since she was born, has a height and size of nearly 2m, which makes her party feel out of place.

But that is the gaze of the people of this world.

‘What? Aren’t they all insane? Why such a beautiful person?’

White-silver hair with a mysterious aura and beauty with strength and beauty.

And she didn’t know that until now, only seeing Akina in her armor, her breasts larger than her own head bulged out beyond her uniform.

However, despite having such a large chest, Akina’s temperament as a strong warrior is strong, so it doesn’t feel vulgar.

As described above, she was very embarrassed to see the nobles slandering a beautiful person for being barely tall and wearing pants.

‘Why don’t you know that a uniform like a uniform suits you because you’re that tall?’

As he questioned her other people’s sense of beauty, Akina looked around her and came in a straight line looking for her kai cent.

“Hick…”

Her young ladies who pet her Kaicent couldn’t overcome Akina’s momentum and spread like her ants in a hurry.

“It’s been a while.”
“Yes, it’s been a while, Count Akina.”

The two greeted each other with a soft smile.

“I heard the story. It was quite active, right?”
“But we still have a long way to go.”
“It’s good. If you’ve been flattered by making a ball, I’m here to punch you in the butt.”

Akina, who still had her eyes on Kai Sent, smiled with satisfaction in her eyes, which showed no conceit in her even though she was stronger than before.

No, she tried, but she hardened her face again.

“And I have bad news.”
“I couldn’t find it.”
“Yes. It turns out that the woman named Dang Seol-young was left in the forest.”
“…Thank you.”
“Are you okay? You don’t have to overdo it.”
“Conversely, it means that if you know the forest, you can find it.”

It wouldn’t be strange if she was disturbed by the hopeless news, but rather than despairing, Kaicent had hope that he could find it easily if he just looked for the forest.

“For now, tell me what you saw and experienced in that forest, as far as you can remember.”
“Yes? No, it’s okay. You helped me this far, but I can’t open my hands anymore…”
“No, since I’ve come all the way here, I thought I’d see the end. I also have the purpose of giving you grace.”
“…Thank you very much, Count Akina.”

Akina talked with Kaicent until the king arrived and remembered the information he remembered about the forest.

“By the way.”
“Huh?”
“Isn’t this the only reason you came to the party?”
“You’re quick-witted.”
“All of these things can be exchanged through letters.”

As she stroked Kai Sent’s hair, she turned her attention to Lillian, who was receiving the attention of the male aristocrats.

“I have someone to tell me something important.”

*                           *

“Kieek!”

A huge two-headed wolf vomits black blood and collapses.

“It’s been a while. The monster that invaded my territory.”

The woman, clad in her tattered clothes and savage clothing made from the hides of her unknown beasts, approached the wolf with a dagger she made from the bones of the monsters she had slain.

She was horrified by the sight of her 2 heads spewing fire, but managed to get close and infiltrate the poison to deal with it.

Jjik- Jjik-

After slicing open the most delicate belly and taking out her intestines, he begins to cut the meat part by part with a bone dagger loaded with her internal organs.

Wiping the blood from the stream near the realm, she left some meat for cooking and others on a drying rack.

“Town.”

The woman who ate the meat with bone skewers and cooked it could sense that this meat also had poison.

‘This forest is truly a demonic realm. To think that all living things harbor poison.’

Non-poisonous food is all a few tree nuts and mushrooms.
All other living things are poisonous.
As if it were the minimum condition to survive in this forest.

‘You still have to eat. I have to protect this place until the sky comes.’

A woman who starts eating the meat of a fire-breathing wolf.
She was Dang Seol-yeong herself, whom Kaicent was eagerly seeking.
However, whatever happened in the meantime, her appearance had changed in many ways.

She had white skin and green veins flowing with poison, but as she ate poisonous food to survive in this forest, she ended up harboring all sorts of poison.

As a side effect, her entire right eye turned red, and parts of her skin and veins turned black.

Absorbing all sorts of unsystematic poisons manifested their effects through her body.

She harbors a lethal dose of poison in her body that would have killed tens of thousands of ordinary people, but she grew up as a poisoner, only her appearance became ugly, but it did not affect her life much.

Rather, with these poisons of hers, she was able to firmly establish her own domain.

She ended the day by inspecting her wooden railings, which signaled her own territory, and taking care of her poison.

“Above…”

She held fast to the place she was teleported to.
For the day Kaicent arrives after him.
Dang Seol-yeong’s time stopped on the day she was being chased by Kang Myeong-cheol.

In my heart, I want to get out of this forest.

But, at least once, her hope that Kai Sent could teleport and arrive here like herself held her feet.

I want to see Kaicent’s face again.
I want to feel his body temperature.
I want to hear his voice

It’s not that I didn’t think that I might be dead.

‘He’s alive. I can’t explain why, but I feel it. If I wait, the Commerce Lord will find me someday.’

“Seolyeong will wait for Sanggong to come. Please come to me quickly.”

Dang Seol-yeong held on to the vague hope that Kai Sent might come tomorrow, and she squatted by the fire.
