Chapter 32

Enya thought nothing of it and tried to get up, thinking that one of the elders who had been staying in the meeting hall, where the torch was burning, had left the place.

But then, the voice she heard stopped her hand from packing the lunch box.

“What? It’s Enya.”

Just that word alone made her feel goosebumps run down her spine. She recognized at once the face of the man standing far in front of her with a burning torch.

A pompous impression, yet a voice that didn’t…

The beard was gray on his chin, covering the smooth wound-less nape of his neck and the soft flesh that lacked muscle. At first glance, he was a man with a decent appearance, enough to be called handsome.

However, while he had never commanded a hunt, Gernan, Servia’s second son, had already impregnated his third woman.

“Hey, it’s been a really long time, Enya. I was worried because you never show your nose.”

His sultry, muddy voice called out to her and drowned her in an unpleasant feeling. At the same time, her heart skipped a beat at finding Gernan in a place like this. Why was he here now when he should be in the meeting hall next to his mother?

She jumped up from her seat.

Huffing and puffing, Enya packed the lunch box and held it in her arms, turning around as if she was the thief and limping away though Genan caught up with her at once.

“Did you have a tryst with the deputy chieftain at the food storage today? Actually, the deputy chieftain is too busy these days, so you don’t have time to eat together?”

Hearing those words, Enya’s face turned pale at once.

It felt like her throat was going down all the way to her toes at those terrible words.

Gernan approached her with a smirk a long time ago, saying that he had seen Tarhan and her having an affair before. After that, it seemed to be quiet for a while, but recently, due to the wartime situation, Enya often went out near the large rock site.

“These days, I’m nervous because of the wartime situation… It wouldn’t stand up. If you open up that throat and let me hear your moan a few times, I think I’ll stand up a little. Do you still intend to not cooperate?”

He even foolishly imitated her limping gait.

In spite of the insulting words and actions, Enya did not respond once and struggled to get out of the situation with a feeling of despair. It was because she had experienced enough to know that he knew how to torment her more severely than that.

This time, when she tried to avoid him without giving him a glance, Gernan quickly stopped her.

He pressed the corner of his mouth that smelled strongly of leaf tobacco into Enya’s face. Even that wasn’t enough, his eyes wide open, his mouth concave, and a strange female voice like the crying of a crow spewed out of his throat.

“Hmm? Say like this… Tarhan! Aang! Tarhan, I love you! There is only you. Haa, haa! so good, so good…!”

As soon as the terrifying sound left his throat, Enya felt goosebumps all over her body. She gasped for breath and tried to get out of the spot. Still, Gernan quickly blocked her path with his size. Then, after opening his grim eyes even more, he pressed his face against her again before stopping his weird voice.

“When I really see you, I understand why Tarhan is acting like he will give you his heart and soul. You look so soft, and even though I held Aquilea girls who look like you countless times, it doesn’t feel the same as when I peeped at you and the deputy chieftain.”

“You’re, you’re crazy…!”

Feeling the greatest displeasure and fear, Enya desperately tried to run away, she limped towards the opposite direction to the one he was blocking.

“I had always wondered how a bad-legged person like you could be bedded by a man like Tarhan. However, when I saw your hole sucking the deputy chieftain’s c*m , I understood it right away.”

Nonetheless, Gernan held onto her tenaciously.

This was the second time Enya had been approached in this way pervertedly.

….How could he tease her with words like that when left alone with her when he didn’t even have the courage to lift a finger on her body out of fear of Tarhan?

Enya felt her heart breaking as she had vowed that if he did something like this one more time, she would somehow inform Tarhan.

Even if it wasn’t so, her existence itself was useless. She just saw with her own two eyes what kind of insult and disregard Tarhan was receiving because of her. How could she tell him such a humiliating thing with her own mouth?

Gernan did not stop speaking viciously, as if seeing through her circumstances.

“Were you thinking of doing it in the meeting hall with the deputy chieftain? If you spread your white legs wide apart and are getting stabbed by Tarhan, I’ll stand in front of you…”

“Shut, shut up and get away…!”

She couldn’t bear to have the love that Tarhan and her shared one day become the subject of stimulation by being talked about by such a perverted eunuch suffering from frigidity. However, she was one of the smaller of the Aquilea women. The second son of Kahanti, whom Servia is proud of, was determined to stop her, so there was no way she could separate from him.

In the end, while trying to break through, a scuffle broke out, and the lunchbox she was holding in her hand mercilessly tipped over on the floor.

Drop!

With a sound, grains of rice scattered on the floor fluttered here and there, mixed with the dust. Gernan, who was looking at the contents scattered on the floor with interest, smirked again.

“What. It’s rice balls. However, the contents are very poor…”

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, like an earthquake, and Gernan’s head suddenly snapped to the side.

“Hoohkk…!”

Letting out a beastly groan, Gernan slumped to the floor with his head covered with his hands. His eyes flashed. Not immune to pain, he screamed like a grown child.

“Ugh, it hurts…! It hurts…!”

“I hit you to hurt, so, of course, it should hurt.”

Enya lifted her head in surprise at the familiar voice she heard right away.

It was Reyhald of Nervana Forest.

Reyhald’s large shadow was cast over the dark path where they stood. He was aiming the second stone at Gernan, pulling the elastic from the slingshot in his hand. Opening his mouth, he threatened Gernan with a completely different low voice than usual.

“The second probably hurts more because I’m going to hit the same part again.”

At those words, Gernan gasped while spitting out moans and screaming.

“You… aren’t you that nosy guy from Nervana Forest? Do you know who I am and do this now?!”

“What? Do I know you?”

Reyhald tilted his head and pulled the long elastic. At the same time as he opened his mouth, the slingshot he was holding sounded like a slicing wind, and as he had foretold, it pierced the back of Gernan’s head with precision again.

“Of course, I know. You, Aquilea’s second child, wouldn’t your mother be sad?”

Gernan seemed to be unable to hear him because he was moaning in pain. Meanwhile, Enya stood with her mouth open, looking up at Reyhald’s large build, who had come to her side before she knew it.

“What the hell are you doing here? What is that bastard?”

Reyhald opened his mouth as if to nag her with his hand on her waist with a disapproving face.

“I saw from a distance a woman who looks like Enya is being teased by a madman with dark eyes. Seeing that scene made me very angry.”

Glancing at Gernan, who was still lying on the floor screaming, he asked.

“A guy like that is harassing you, so why aren’t you talking to the deputy chieftain? A man lives with you so that you can use it at such times.”

Hearing Reyhald’s words, Enya immediately hardened her face. While she was avoiding answering, Reyhald opened his mouth while holding up the lunch box that was spread out on the floor.

“Gosh, you wasted these precious meals on the ground. What a jerk. You shouldn’t have business with someone who throws away food.”

The next moment, he collected the rice bits that had fallen on the floor with his hands and wrapped them in dry leaves before bringing the lunch box to Enya’s chest again. He then pointed with his thumb at Gernan, who was staggering up from behind, and uttered admonishingly.

“Don’t get involved with that guy again. I meet a lot of people, so I have some eyes for it, but those eyes are crazy… That bastard, I think he’s going to have an accident sooner or later.”

Soon, they heard the sound of other footsteps around them.

Since it was already dark, it seemed that soldiers with several torches had come to see what was going on. Reyhald also tugged at Enya’s wrist, who was holding the lunch box he had given her back to her chest, and turned his head to check on the people approaching.

But as soon as he did that, his hand that was holding Enya’s wrist suddenly fell off.

Right after that, he said something in the dialect of the Nervana forest. Even if she couldn’t understand it, it was clear that it was a swear word.

Between two soldiers approaching with torches, the first thing she saw was a huge scar on the chest, fading in the light. After that, a huge man with scars extending to the nape of his neck stood in front of them with piercing eyes and an angry face.

It was Tarhan.

Enya was so horrified that she had forgotten how to speak, looking at his face and opening her mouth. It was true that she had come to see him in the first place, but she had never imagined it would be like this.

Tarhan opened his mouth, gnashing his teeth so much that his facial muscles twitched, chewing letter after letter.

“What are you all doing here right now?”
