Chapter 392 – Nidavalir (3)

Fey melted away as soon as she arrived in the room, probably using all her strength.

On behalf of such Fay, Elisha got angry.

“No, what kind of family do you have?! Since Miss Fei is an illegitimate child, everyone is crazy about hammering. But not this one!”

“Keuk…”

Fei, who had been beaten by her shield, wriggled, but she flinched again as if she had nothing to refute because it was all true.

Regardless of whether or not the person in question did, Elisha patted the bed she was sitting on as if she couldn’t win.

Sudden! She did, though, frowning at the dust that burst out and hung a clean all over the room.

“Anyway, it’s absurd for a mere villager to stare at me, but how dare a man called the Chief Chamberlain who serves Jarl look down on Miss Fei this much!”

“Mum. Elisha is right. Anyway, didn’t Lady Jarnshad inherit Jarl’s blood? An action like this now would be like spitting in the master’s face. What the hell is Rokan Jarl doing?”

Iris, who nods her head and agrees, is also quite vicious. As if he wouldn’t let me go if I knew where he was.

Others reacted in a different way, but in a similar way.

Iona flashing her fangs with a meaningful smile, Helena reciting prayers while fiddling with her mace, and even Carla fiddling with the slave mark on the nape of her neck, saying that ignoring my woman, Fay, is the same as ignoring me.

I am so angry that I think that if I hadn’t stepped forward, there would have been a real armed conflict.

… Dragon Fear is an armed demonstration, not a conflict, so wouldn’t it be okay?

While nodding your head inwardly. Even though she knew that she was angry for her sake, Faye, who was slightly scared by her ferocious aura, said trembling.

“Everybody, calm down! It wasn’t like this before…”

“It wasn’t like that before. Then can you tell me how it was, Fei-senpai?”

“Huh.”

Faye, who had been squirming on her bed, laid her head on my lap and opened her mouth.

“What was it like before I left this house…”

According to Fay’s subsequent explanation, she just didn’t make eye contact with her, didn’t talk to her, didn’t pretend to listen to anything she said unless it was absolutely necessary, and she didn’t have the subtle taunts like today, she said.

In other words, the treatment has become more severe.

“… That is strange.”

“That’s right, Master. Fei-senpai has proven her abilities in her academy, and even if that’s not the case, she’s her master’s exclusive craftsman.”

“It is also famous that Faye and I are in a romantic relationship. All right It’s only natural that I publicly exposed the spy of the seething Calm while helping Fei-senpai.”

God Slayer, Half Man, Half Dragon, Saint of the Righteous Church of Light, Son of Circulating Life, Hero of the Empire, Duke of Lindelheit, and so on.

Because I was always stuck in dungeons, training rooms, or bedrooms, there weren’t many things to realize… All of these flashy titles refer to me.

Recently, while showing her face at various social gatherings, I realized that the weight is not light at all.

My lover is Faye. She even showed herself that she would be willing to become an enemy of evil spirits for Fei’s sake.

Without going crazy, would you turn Faye in front of me?

“Even though I refrained from being in front of my master, I thought it was an old habit that came out subconsciously.”

“So do i. He did this in front of me too, but I thought about what it would have been like when Fei was alone.”

As she raised her eyebrows slightly at the rising displeasure, Faye gave her signature sullen smile.

“Heheh…”

“What makes you smile so much?”

“Just. Is it because your junior was a little cool when he was angry earlier?”

“Oh, everything is wonderful. I was really pissed off.”

“Even my juniors grin when they see my shaking heart every time I roll while shouting that I’m having a hard time.”

“Hmmmm. That’s the fault of Fei-senpai’s body being too erotic.”

“It is the same with your junior. I’m still half a dwarf, but you protect me with dragon fear? Can’t you stand this?”

“Right. Speaking out, but… It seems that dwarves are particularly weak against dragon fear, but isn’t this just a whim?”

In the midst of my questioning, Faye, who was rolling on her bed, slowly raised her body. I guess I’ve recovered a bit now, but I’m out of a mushy state.

“Huh. Actually, dwarves react very sensitively to dragon fear.”

“How amazing… Aren’t you rather resistant to the peers of other monsters?”

“I know that! Cyclops, ogres, behemoths, etc. If you are a skilled warrior. He never shrinks in front of all kinds of large monsters. Only dragons are the exception.”

Come to think of it, the last time Fay entered Paracelsus’ dungeon, she moved well despite facing powerful monsters.

Rather, I was happy that I could get good material.

It may not simply be because Faey has the temperament of a mad scientist, but it may have been the unique temperament of a dwarf.

One more knowledge… ! It took a while for me to nod my head in the same way. I couldn’t help but open my mouth wide at Faye’s words that soon followed.

“All the dwarves who fought against Dragon Fear are dead!”

“Ah.”

Usually, only those who resist and fight against their peers and win will survive and pass on the generations. If I couldn’t resist, I would have become a monster’s meal, so it’s only natural.

But dragons are an exception. Even if it’s about overcoming peers, isn’t it too much of an opponent to fight and win?

If all the Dwarves who resisted peers died, and only the dwarves who were scared and prostrated themselves survived, it would be understandable.

Unlike monsters, dragons do not eat dwarves.

Everyone hesitated at the brutal truth, as if they had suffered a brain freeze, but Solari, the eldest member of our group, was different.

“I miss it~ In the old days, dragons used dwarves as slaves. It must have had a big impact then!”

“… I’m asking just in case, when was that story?”

“When the first king of Nidavalir rebelled against the dragon?”

“It was almost a thousand years ago!”

I never imagined it would be that long ago!

“By the way, Fafnir was the one who robbed the most viciously. Because the guy before the Great War was just a bully. Is it possible that he reacted so sensitively to his husband’s peers, who are still inferior to real dragons…”

“It’s you again, Fafnir?!”

It’s been a while to shudder at the name that pops up whenever you forget it. Suddenly, I realized that the atmosphere that had become threatening due to Fay’s work had loosened up.

Faye, the person involved, was also relaxing and laughing together. I’m glad. She felt like Fay was overdoing it, even though Faye showed a confident side of herself.

Thanks to that, we were in the middle of a friendly conversation, putting aside our worries.

Smart smart

“I brought the bedding, ma’am.”

A young lady-in-waiting who came to do what she ordered before Faye came up to her room.

Since there were a lot of people, she was a blanket that was stacked higher than her height, but she held it comfortably as if it didn’t matter.

She didn’t even learn mana or aura, but that’s enough. She knew dwarves were strong, but she was amazed every time she saw them.

Faye, who is of mixed race, has good strength compared to her physique, but not to that extent. … Perhaps I put all my energy into maintaining the firmness of my breasts. Because it looks pretty heavy too.

I accepted the bedding as a telekinesis magic while thinking nonsensical thoughts in my mind.

It was laid out on the bed in moderation, but for some reason the attendant did not go out even though he had done his job and kept his head down.

I didn’t want to say anything, but I looked at Faye. It would be much better for the daughter of this family to step forward than for me to step forward.

When she silently glanced at her as if she respected her authority, Faye, who finally regained her senses, straightened her posture.

“What’s the matter? If you have nothing more to do, then leave.”

“I-that’s…”

The lady-in-waiting licked her lips for a moment, but as if she had made up her mind about something, she closed her eyes tightly and continued her words.

“Jarl didn’t call the young lady for another reason. Please do not misunderstand his will.”

“What?”

As soon as she expressed her displeasure, the lady-in-waiting immediately fell on the floor and continued her words.

“I know you will find it hard to believe, the lady who went through her humiliation as soon as she arrived. But… Most of the employees, including the chamberlain, are the lady’s people, not Jarl.”

“What is that…”

“It has already been over a year since Jarl suffered from an unknown disease. In the meantime, the great and small matters of the Jarnshad family have been handled by the mistress.”

For a moment. I think I know what will happen next.

“I’m sure he tried to kick the lady out after Jarl died.”

“Huup.”

“There were even rumors that the alchemist Lady Fay had poisoned Jarl’s food. Of course, there’s no reason…”

“I, Young Ji-min, who doesn’t know the situation well, seems plausible, right?”

“Yes.”

Fei, who stuttered her words slightly, feeling so unfair. The lady-in-waiting added her words.

“This is Lord Baru, whom my father brought the young lady to here. My father and I are loyal only to Jarl. It doesn’t matter if it’s a succession fight or an interest fight. I just earnestly hope that Jarl’s will will not be misinterpreted.”

Come to think of it, even though Baru was awkward with Fei, he was always polite to her.

Fei paused for a moment, perhaps remembering this, but soon after, she opened her mouth with a firm expression.

“… I understand this. But it doesn’t mean that the past never happened.”

That’s right. This time it could have been the work of Lokhan’s wife and her son.

However, since he was a child, it was Lokhan himself, not anyone else, who treated Fay as an invisible person.

Her young lady-in-waiting did not speak any longer, but bowed her head even deeper, and she only apologized again.

“Sorry for disturbing you. She spoke presumptuously, fearing that the young lady would leave her like this.”

“It’s okay. After all, she came with the intention of seeing her father’s face from the beginning. Don’t you have anything more to say? Then go out now.”

“Yes.”

After closing the door with those words for the last time, the lady-in-waiting.

Faye, who had been smiling innocently until just a moment ago, frowned at her and started thinking about something about her.

Until word came that Rokhan had risen. All the way.
