Chapter 139 (2/2)
“...Aidan.”
“Tsk. You are still rude. You still aren’t calling me your husband.”
“I told you. I've never recognized you as my husband. Now and in the future. Even if I become your wife, I won’t serve you.”
The party and I silently watched from behind. However, Kis with the fishing rod was acting a bit strange. His fists were clenched and he was shaking. He shouldn’t step forward. Then everyone here would be in danger. I grabbed Kis’ trembling wrist and shook my head.
“......”
Kis’ trembling hands soon stopped. We continued to listen to their conversation.
“Helena, you are now my wife. Why do you keep coming and going from this Garbage Village? Tsk. It is still dirty here. How terrible.”
“What’s wrong with me going to meet my father? Besides, it’s none of your business.”
“None of my business...”
Aidan’s face briefly twisted. Then he soon spoke again with a calm face.
“Huhu. Okay. I’ll move on for today. Let’s go back, Helena.”
“......”
“Do you know why I led the soldiers here?”
Then Helena bit her lip and spoke, “...I understand. Instead, don't touch the villagers.”
”Of course. Just follow me. Huhu.”
Helena turned and looked at the villagers. She said goodbye to her father in front of her. “I’m going now, Father.”
The two of them held hands tightly and wept. It was too sad but this was the path they chose. There was nothing I could do to help.
“Go carefully, my daughter. Additionally, I’m sorry. Sob.”
“Don’t cry. I’ll come again.”
“Yes, I'll be here anytime.”
The two of them said goodbye and then Helena waved to the villagers. Finally, her gaze turned in our direction. It wasn’t exactly to us but to Kis.
“......”
“......”
They conveyed their hearts just by looking at each other. They didn’t say a word but they would’ve understood each other’s meaning. Helena quickly turned to Aidan’s location. She looked sad.
One step. Two steps. Then once she was three steps away...
“Wait!”
Shit...
In the end, this guy was going to cause an accident. The owner of the voice was Kis behind me. Suddenly, a float flew through the air. The direction it aimed for was Aidan’s back. This rotten guy...
However, his float was lightly blocked by a soldier nearby. I didn’t know why he did it in the first place. Perhaps he was planning to take Aidan hostage...
“Who are you? You are just a trivial fisherman.” Aidan questioned it and Kis declared proudly, “I am Helena’s lover!”
“Lover?”
“That’s right. She and I love each other!” Kis glanced at me as he spoke.
He was asking me for help. What did he want me to do? Shit, I was really going crazy. I didn’t know why he was looking at me after causing an accident. Hah. Things were becoming even more twisted.
“Helena... You cheated on me after all! This woman dares! You dare!”
Aidan’s eyes were engulfed in madness. He had gone crazy. It turned out like this.
Damn, I was really going crazy. What should I do?
“I can’t forgive you. I can’t forgive you! Attendant!”
”Yes!”
“Bring him and Helena’s father to me right now!”
The soldiers drew their swords and threatened the villagers. Helena’s father was soon caught and knelt before Aidan. Kis was also forced to his knees while Helena cried and begged Aidan.
“S-Sorry. Aidan, I won't do it again. Please forgive the two of them. Please. Please...”
My heart was broken when I saw her desperately praying. It really didn’t seem right. No, I couldn’t. I really couldn’t kill him...
“Helena, look carefully at what will happen if you betray me.”
Aidan grabbed a sword from a soldier’s sheath. In the end, I thought staying still was right.
“Ah, no. No! No! Please! Aidan, please!” She knelt and blocked Aidan’s way but she was easily pushed aside.
Aidan once again lifted his sword. Tsk. Then it couldn’t be helped. I fired a cobweb from my wrist and deflected the sword.
“Kuek. Who? Who dares...?!”
“You had better shut up.”
“W-What? Who are you?”
“Who am I?” I slowly walked forward. My group started preparing for battle as I smiled. “I’m the chief of the area next door, you rotten guy.”
