That’s True

“Work? I didn’t have anything to do. But now I have one!”

Three men sat on either side of Kyrie as if surrounding her. The owner couldn’t come forward even though he couldn’t do anything. Kyrie ignored the men’s chattering words and looked at the water in a circle around the beer glass.

‘What should I do?’

In Kyrie’s ears, she could hear other guests whispering.

“They’re doing that again. Tsk….”

“The last time they harm the butcher’s daughter….”

“Who is it? Be quiet!”

One of the men yelled around. It quickly became quiet in the store.

‘They are a repeat offender.’

Kyrie smiled brightly. Then she didn’t have to feel guilty.

“So, do you want to play with me?”

“Wow, that’s aggressive!”

One of the men giggled.

“Unni, unlike how you look…….”

“Okay, I’ll play with you.”

Kyrie swept the droplets on the table with her left index finger. Drops of water began to roll along Kyrie’s finger on the wooden bar table.

The index finger drew a circle. Soon, the diamond ring, which was inserted into the fourth finger, instantly shone.

The wind blew and Kyrie’s light purple hair fluttered. She smiled coolly.

“I also think it’s right to leave it to the law, but my housemate’s standard is quick judgment.”

“Magic…”

“But it’s better to be beaten by me than him, right?”

Boom boom!

The whole side of the shop flew away with a loud noise.  There was not even a bird to hear a scream. The men rolled around the floor like wooden dolls with strings on the shock wave.

The drunkenness went away in an instant.

‘This much magic?’

Kyrie was confused and looked down at the magic circle. Looking at it, one symbol was wrong. It was because she was drunk.

‘How can I hide it if they are dead?’

Kyrie hastily touched the pulse of the men Fortunately, they were breathing. As soon as she sighed with confidence, she strangely realized that the surroundings were quiet.

Before she knew it, Nathaniel was standing at the entrance of the open store. He had an easy-going face, but his cane looked like a sword in his hand. It is the most threatening posture that Nathaniel can take.

“Oh… You’re here?”

Kyrie said hello awkwardly.

The elegant man in dark robes glanced at the bandits on the floor with glass-like eyes. Since no one despises bugs individually, his gaze was too inorganic.

After making his decision, he smiled inertly without asking any questions.

[The store got cooler]

“……I think it needs some ventilation because it’s winter.”

Kyrie woke up pretending to be super easy-going. She skillfully held out the beer glass that Nathaniel left behind.

“Let’s have a drink together.”

Nathaniel giggled in an chilly atmosphere.

[Merciful Lord Protector. Saving bandits life]

“Of course. Who’s your partner?”

Kyrie blinked and opened her eyes innocently.

“You’re not merciful, so I, your wife, have to be merciful instead.”

Nathaniel’s eyes narrowed. He smiled faintly, furrowing his eyebrows.

[Oh yes… Smart Kyrie Buchanan.]

Kyrie shrugged.

Nathaniel is weak to titles such as husband and wife, honey, and husband. And both of them know about this.

[There’s no way]

But he’ll let it slide. Because he’s in love with her.

Nathaniel soon approached with his slender arms and legs stretched and received a beer glass. Nathaniel put his glass to his lips and smiled annoyed at the cheap taste that lingered in his mouth.

Kyrie laughed at it and made a toast with another glass.

“But I did a good job, right?”

[Of course]

The glass of the two collided.

And after taking a sip, she put down my cup as if she had promised.

“It’s really not good. Let’s go to another village.”

After they left, there was a rumor in the village that several bullies were found mutilated.

***

There was still some time left until the funeral.  As the nobles’ estates are far from the capital, they use ice magic to freeze the corpses.

Passing through the city, Nathaniel clicked his tongue at Kyrie’s playfulness.

[You’re not going to take shelter?]

“Because I’m strong.”

Kyrie responded to Nathaniel’s subsequent gaze with a cheerful smile.

“I played a little bit before waking you up, but it was more fun than I thought. And it was also a romantic landscape because of the snow piled up a lot.”

Nathaniel thought about where in the snow-covered wasteland would be so much fun.

As expected, it’s not fun.

He did not find any romance in a snowy field that was no different than dust except for the white color and coldness. He didn’t know if Kyrie was trembling so he looked at her.

[My fun and your fun may be different, but do as you please]

“Thank you.”

It was nice to see Kyrie smiling bashfully. Soon she began to busily settle down.

Nathaniel liked snow, but it was because he could kill something very creatively.

It’s not that he’s not, but on this trip he’s already killed a few people using special and creative methods. Of course, without letting Kyrie know.

Nathaniel’s affection is only for her, and he has not become particularly good. It just killed less people.

The great Kyrie was certainly acting as his deterrent. That was an implicit agreement between the two.

Suddenly, Nathaniel realized.

That’s why. She noticed that he killed a few on their way here. That’s why she didn’t want to go into the city.

Nathaniel’s heart, who realized it, became surprisingly weary. To be shelterless because she doesn’t want him to kill someone, and wrap it up as a joke again. Her idea was so cute that he couldn’t rebuke and wanted to break her ankle and then tie her with a ribbon….

At that time, Kyrie, who was looking for land for homelessness, looked back at Nathaniel. The shadow, which had been quietly growing under Nathaniel’s feet, also disappeared in an instant.

“Nataniel. Your expression right now…….”

Her face darkened and her mind became alert.

“It’s a face that is concocting a very evil thing. I don’t know what it is, don’t do it…..”

Nathaniel only smiled at the teacher. And he folded his imagination and removed it from his head.

Kyrie was busy burning a circle around a large oak tree with magic. Seeing her enthusiasm for doing it with her own hands, Nataniel watched her silently.

The ears protruding through the light purple hair were cute for no reason. That made him want to touch it.

It bothers him when Kyrie’s fingers are empty, and he imagines her under the collar more often than sometimes. There were still so many things he didn’t know. Nathaniel was always curious about Kyrie’s next expression.

[Kyrie.]

“Yes.”

Nathaniel approached Kyrie, who was distracted by how to clean up the big stone.

[Kyrie.]

“I’m busy right now, so in a little while…….”

Kyrie, who was turning her head, paused. There was Nathaniel’s face just around the corner.

Nathaniel leaned against the tree and bowed his head a little. Kyrie was embarrassed and pulled her upper body back.

“Now?”

[Can’t I?]

“Oh…”

[Huh?]

Nathaniel flirted with a little bit of cuteness and stuck his lips like a small bird. Kyrie hesitated. But in the end, she is weakened by things that seem weak.

Kyrie responded to his urge. The purple eyes were half closed over the slightly reddened cheeks.

The moment her mouth opened, Nathaniel intertwined Kyrie’s tongue gently as if swallowing.

Hik. The cold was gone before she knew it. In the bitter smell of burning grass, Nathaniel kissed her very deeply and then stepped down.

And he smiled languidly as he looked down at Kyrie, who had bent his back as if he were going to fall backwards.

[Will the snow (field) be good?] 

“…No!”

She didn’t know the subject of the sentence, but she gave an answer right away.

Nathaniel seemed to laugh in a low voice from his neck, and he set Kyrie upright.

[It’s not just a blanket but a snow blanket, this one.]

(T/N: he asked vaguely that is snow good (had to add “field” because of the next sentence, in English it’s not too vague, but in Korean it is vague), Kyrie thought he was asking if this location was good for snu snu since she said this place is romantic, but he then said, snow good for making a blanket out of it from magic)

Kyrie’s face soon became very cold and solemn with shame.

In fact, nothing has happened between the two yet.….

It was entirely because Kyrie avoided the wedding night, saying, “Let’s just hold hands and sleep.” At that time, Nathaniel made a blank face for a moment, but with a polite gentleman’s smile, he put Kyrie to sleep.

He certainly has much patience as he has lived in for a long time.

Kyrie, who recalled that night, glanced at Nathaniel. Nathaniel was touching a large stone with a cane. The huge stone quickly froze, became powder and flew away in the wind.

Nathaniel, who noticed her gaze, asked lazily.

[What?]

“Nothing…”

Is it okay? Kyrie thought.

And Nathaniel was better than she thought, and as far as she could tell, better than Kyrie thought.

He wanted to taste all his experiences with Kyrie as closely as possible. Patting her head was good, but her face from up close was better.

Of course, if Kyrie sometimes shows a strangely impatient face, that day he suffered the urge to literally chew the woman in front of him from head to toe.

In order not to do so, he had no choice but to hold his cane all day. This is proof that he is reaching its limit.

In fact, however, Nathaniel enjoyed looking at Kyrie with her eyes as if asking if he was crazy. Again, he was still bad-tempered.

[I thought your taste was outside, so I looked at you enthusiastically….]

“Don’t say scary things.”

Embarrassed, Kyrie cut off his words. She crossed her arms proudly.

“And that would be your preference. The hobby that tied people up is not going anywhere.”

Nathaniel smiled quietly as he lit a fire in the center of the site.

[That’s true]

“What do you mean…, What?”

[That’s my taste.]

“What?”

[Tying up is actually my preference. Sometimes you’re a little…… I want to tie it up.]

He won’t do it.

Nathaniel answered without hesitation, took off his coat, and laid it on the floor. Then he tilted his head with a docile face.

[Don’t stand there. Sit down]

Hit and fall….

Kyrie sat down without saying a word.
