CH 130

“…Eung. Well, there’s nothing to talk about right now!”

Haha.

I smiled awkwardly and changed the subject.

I could feel Arsene’s gaze following me relentlessly, but I didn’t care.

“By the way, let’s see the spots, come over here.”

“Why did you do that here?”

Arsene frowned. I pulled Arsene’s shirt lightly.

“I will see it while we’re here. I just remembered. You don’t show your back to me these days.”

I often took off Arsene’s clothes when I was young to check his spots.

Arsene didn’t show me his spots very well once he got bigger and started sleeping farther away from me. 

‘It’s faded..’

I can only guess that Arsene’s spots are gradually fading after listening to Mr. Hern’s words. 

“It’s faded. I can barely see it now. Oh, you don’t have to see….” 

“Let’s see, okay? Are you shy?”

The eyes of the shadow wolf, who had been listening to me, widened.

It seemed as if he was affirming that he was embarrassed.

Arsene opened his eyes at the shadow wolf.

“What do you mean by shy! Just because, huh? You are a woman, and I am a man…” 

“We are a married couple… I think it’s past the time to argue about that. “

Maybe… Could it have been around ten years old?

When I spoke with a rather serious face, Arsene’s face suddenly changed to a puzzled expression.

“You really…” 

Arsene unbuttoned his shirt with one hand.

Both of his ears were slightly red.

Arsene, who unbuttoned and took off his shirt, turned around and showed the spot on his back.

“Now, are you done?”

“Eung, okay.” 

I nodded and touched Arsene’s spots slightly.

‘It’s definitely faded.’

Is this proof that Arsene’s disease is gradually disappearing?

I gently stroked Arsene’s back with my fingertips.

When I thought he was almost healed, I felt strange for some reason.

The day Arsene and I first met felt far away.

I felt proud when I saw Arsene’s physical condition, which continued to progress even without my treatment.

I hadn’t used my power on Arsene since I tried to heal him when I was 10 and worsened his condition.

Nevertheless, whenever I saw Arsene’s body progressing steadily, I felt a sense of relief.

I slapped Arsene on the back.

“All right, all right. I saw it all. You can get dressed now.”

“Ack! Why do you hit me?”

Arsene opened his eyes sharply and turned his head to look at me.

“I thought it was all right, huh? Now you don’t have to sleep with me. Right?”

I looked at Arsene and smiled.

Arsene and I have always shared a room because Arsene’s condition is relieved by sleeping hand in hand.

But now that he almost healed, I don’t think I’ll have to share the same room.

When Arsene heard it, he narrowed his eyes and asked.

“…You.” 

“Eung?” 

“Do you hate me now?”

Arsene asked cautiously, holding his shirt in his hand.

I widened my eyes.

“What are you talking about? Hey, talk about it after wearing your clothes for now.” 

I glanced at Arsene’s well-muscled bare skin and said,

When he was young, he was a skinny baby wolf.

Suddenly this big body… I wonder if his body has improved this much! 

‘I don’t know where to put my eyes.’

When I pointed to the shirt, Arsene put it on again and said.

“Aren’t you talking about divorce… and separate room… it’s strange.”

“No, it is.”

“You’re my wife, why do you use separate rooms?”

The look on Arsene’s face when he asked that question was as if he really didn’t understand.

I pondered for a moment, and soon pressed Arsene’s head.

“Eung, that’s right. I’m your wife. Let’s talk about this next time, let’s go home now!”

Since the conversation was going to be long, I thought it would be better to keep it calm next time.

“No, why next time—”

Arsene spoke as if to protest, but I ignored it neatly.

“Do it next time, next time! Wolf!”

When I called, the shadow wolf came running from afar.

“Grrr!”

“Let’s go now, are you done playing?”

The shadow wolf nodded. Arsene arranged the clothes and packed the basket for me.

“Let’s go, let’s come again next time.”

“Eung, let’s go.”

“Now, say goodbye to the tree.”

“Do what?”

“Say hello, because it’s healing you.”

I put my hand on the base of a huge tree and said.

Arsene followed me with a disapproving look and put  his hand on the base of the tree.

“It seems like it’s getting bigger, doesn’t it?”

“I thought it wouldn’t grow anymore…”

Arsene muttered and looked up at the tree.

I couldn’t even guess how far the giant tree was reaching.

“I can recognize it at a glance even from a distance.”

“Right.”

Arsene nodded back.

After looking at the trees for a long time, we soon walked out without hesitation.

Arsene’s shadow wolf ran out first and informed Kendrick that we were coming out.

Then,

Paat—.

Kendrick’s abilities shook the surroundings. He covered me and Arsene so that we couldn’t be seen from the outside.

We got into the carriage safely, hiding in Kendrick’s power.

“We’re back!”

“Welcome back.”

Kendrick was reading a newspaper in the carriage, and he looked up.

“Did you have a good time?”

“Yes, I also planted flowers. But I guess Tamar is Tamar.”

“Why?”

“I used my power, but the flowers didn’t grow right away. In other lands, if I use my power, the flowers will bloom right away…”

I stretched out my hand, looking outside the door, which was still half closed.

As the light power flowed from the fingertips, weeds grew suddenly.

Kendrick, who was watching the scene, slowly opened his mouth.

“It seems that it has not yet been purified to the depths. I’m glad you had a good trip, let’s go back.’

After Kendrick finished speaking, one of the knights closed the carriage door.

Then the carriage started smoothly.

I could hear the hoofs of horses running on the ground.

I looked out the window.

Two escort knights were seen.

Kendrick always had the greatest number of escorts, but when he came to Tamar, he brought only a minimum of escorts.

Today, there were all three escort knights. It was such an unbelievably few escorts to say it for the head of the clan to go out with.

‘It doesn’t matter because father is strong.’

Kendrick’s power was considered the strongest of all the heads of the Yeckhart family.

But then.

“Hiiing!”

“Ack!”

A huge wolf burst out of the grass and attacked the knight and his horse.

The horse suddenly raised its front foot in surprise, and the wolf’s snout pushed back the knight and eventually make him fell off the horse.

Crash!

The carriage stopped hastily, and the knights were seen pointing their swords at the huge wolf.

Kendrick slowly raised his head.

“What’s the fuss?”

He used his power to defeat the huge wolf without difficulty.

I opened my eyes in surprise. 

Arsene pulled me towards him and wrapped his arms around me.

“…Is it shapeshift?” 

“…Yeah.” 

Kendrick sighed. The huge wolf, bound by the powers, wriggled and struggled.

“It seems to have lost its mind…? I’ll treat it.”

I tried to get up from my seat in a hurry.

If it lost its mind because of Giles flower, I could cure it. 

But Kendrick shook his head firmly.

“There is nothing to worry about, Linsy. I’ll take care of it, so go ahead with Arsene.”

“Yes? But. “

“It’s okay, so go.”

Kendrick left the horse and immediately got off the carriage.

The carriage we rode in went straight on Kendrick’s command.

Arsene and I looked at each other’s faces with our eyes wide open.

“…Didn’t you lose your mind because of the Giles flowers?”

“Probably so because that’s the only thing that makes you lose your ability.”

“But why… is he preventing me from treating it? Besides that… I heard that things are working out well.”

Furthermore, I was perplexed by Kendrick’s behavior, which stopped me from treating him.

When I looked at it, Arsene shrugged as if he didn’t know.

“You haven’t heard anything either?”

“You are closer to father than I am… he said he would take care of everything before I took over the position of head of the clan, but…” 

Arsene muttered.

While we were blankly exchanging glances over the beastman we had just seen, the carriage quickly arrived at the mansion.

“My Lady, do you have a good trip?” 

“Eung? Eung.” 

I nodded blankly and grabbed Arsene’s wrist.

“Arsene, follow me.”
