84. Outpost (3)

That dawn.

Glem was sleeping while embracing his sword.

Daytime was hot and busy.

For Glem, who had found the third solution, it came with impatient fervor.

Of course, he couldn’t ask the Saintess, chosen by God, how to kill a god. Glem had to suggest it indirectly.

To summon the god.

Just like how it appeared at the engagement annulment ceremony, couldn’t they request the god to directly break the oath?

Agasa was troubled but answered that she would try.

Strangely, Ryuie’s side didn’t attack immediately, so Glem could spend some time building the sanctuary.

Thanks to that, he ended up sleeping in such an uncomfortable position.

The first taste of hope, anxiety, and determination mixed together meant he couldn’t sleep deeply anyway.

Glem, who had been resting his head on the bed, woke up to the sound of the tent covering the camp fluttering.

Perhaps due to the cold air, his throat felt briefly constricted.

“…It’s time to sleep.”

No answer came.

Glem felt his pulse quickening and steadied his breathing again.

“Was it a sleepless night?”

“You were in quite an uncomfortable position yourself.”

“I knew you would come.”

Glem still held his sword in his arms as he looked toward where the wind was blowing.

He couldn’t see anything, but having experienced it once before, it was fine.

She had visited him even when he was imprisoned, so now would be no different.

‘I just didn’t expect it to be this soon.’

When Glem stubbornly kept his eyes open, Ryuie finally removed her magical device.

Feeling like he was dreaming with his eyes open, Glem intently watched the scene of his beloved appearing from thin air.

Ryuie was lightly dressed. In comfortable clothes as if going for a brief walk, with a sword and gun at both sides of her waist.

Her eyes held the form of an assassin though.

Still, since Ryuie standing with her hands on her hips didn’t immediately scream or try to kill him, Glem was happy for now.

“You were waiting for me?”

“Yeah.”

“How were you planning to stop me from cutting your throat when you couldn’t even see me?”

“Cutting a throat in one stroke isn’t easy. I would have counterattacked after being slashed once, and then you’d get hurt too. I didn’t want that, so I deliberately showed my weapon.”

Ryuie gritted her teeth at Glem’s words.

Agasa, the traitor, the Saintess was here, so Glem could recover even if his heart was pierced.

What a wondrous divine blessing.

Unless the head was cut off, the Rkultu God would revive everything.

‘Assassination wasn’t the goal anyway.’

Finally, Ryuie turned her head as if she had received an unbearable insult and spoke.

“Where did you hide Yosua?”

Glem gave a bitter smile.

‘In the end, it’s Yosua again.’

Without needing to act, Glem retorted with a naturally sullen attitude.

“Ryuie.”

“Shut up.”

“Have you really never loved me even once?”

“You already heard my answer.”

“I mean me, not Yosua.”

“People around keep trying to distinguish, but you’re both Yosua and Glem anyway, so why do you keep…!”

“Was Glem nothing to you?”

As Glem’s tone became clearer, Ryuie’s tone conversely became duller.

“Don’t act.”

“I’m not acting though?”

“No matter how much you imitate that childish and vulgar mercenary, nothing will change.”

“Then why did you become lovers with such a childish and vulgar mercenary?”

Glem even interlocked his fingers and lay down leisurely.

As if saying, come if you want to come.

“If I hadn’t pleased you at all, you would have found even such curses a waste.”

“Ha.”

“You said you liked my face. My body too. Even places like this.”

Glem, who had lowered his sword above his shoulder, pulled at his front with his own hand. When his well-trained, firm chest was exposed to the air, Ryuie sharply frowned.

“What are you trying to do?”

“Seduction.”

Glem briefly crushed his conscience that wanted to die from embarrassment and gathered shamelessness from head to toe.

“We were good together.”

“Are you insane?”

“If you want to find Yosua, either fall for my seduction.”

Ryuie’s eyelashes dropped down sharply. Every time her appraising gaze swept over him, Glem felt a strange tingle behind his waist.

‘Somehow I feel like I’m doing something bad.’

Though it wasn’t really a good thing to do either.

Glem elaborated to focus.

“I know you have a magical device that makes you invisible. You can’t break through with the Knight Order, but alone you could cross this swamp. You would definitely cross over. Were you planning to just find Yosua and take him away?”

“Yeah, that’s right. It’s obvious.”

“It’s not obvious. You came to see me while looking for Yosua.”

“I didn’t know it was your camp.”

“But you didn’t leave right away even after knowing it was me?”

Glem persistently caught onto her words. Anything that could catch Ryuie was good enough.

“No matter how much you deny it, I’m your lover right now.”

“Then let’s break up.”

“I don’t want to.”

While the dumbfounded Ryuie let out a hollow laugh, Glem nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders.

“Don’t act like a child.”

“Until now, I was so terrified of you finding out my identity that I was careful to death, so I never acted like this before.”

Glem spoke calmly.

“When I was Yosua, I was scared to death that you might hate me.”

“No way.”

“I was. I tried not to let you find out. I succeeded.”

“…”

Just how shameless did one have to be to spout such words after betraying her right to her face?

He really wasn’t like Yosua.

‘That’s what you want.’

Separating Glem and Yosua.

In an instant, Ryuie’s mood plummeted to rock bottom. Coincidentally, Glem was saying the same thing.

“Now that everything’s been exposed, I’ve hit rock bottom and regretted it all, so I don’t want to hesitate anymore.”

Ryuie quietly looked at Glem. The sword slowly slid down from Glem’s shoulder. Because Glem was no longer holding onto it.

The completely disarmed man was spreading his arms toward her.

Her reason was about to melt away.

Telling her not to worry about revenge and betrayal, to dive into instinct. Just like the first time…

“…”

Ryuie looked at Yosua with dark, burning eyes and then disappeared.

Glem, who had been wistfully staring at the spot where she vanished after putting on the magic device again, muttered.

“Come again.”

Instead of an answer, only the tent flap fluttering violently before closing could be seen.

Ryuie had left.

Only then did Glem, who had released the tension from his waist, slide down smoothly.

Honestly, he had been constantly prepared in case Ryuie attacked without caring whether he got hurt or not.

Fortunately, seeing that she didn’t do that, Ryuie probably didn’t truly intend to wage war with the nobles here.

‘It’s not like she became weak because her heart wavered after seeing me.’

Glem tried hard to deny the thought that made even himself feel embarrassed.

But the night was long and the scent Ryuie had left behind remained in the tent.

Glem, who had stretched his body out long, closed his eyes.

‘It would be nice if that were the case.’

Ryuie would definitely come next time too. She wasn’t someone who gave up easily.

Even if she tried to find it alone, the place where Yosua’s body was hidden wouldn’t be easy to find.

Ryuie will come.

Then, thinking about what to tempt her with next time, Glem organized his strategy.

* * *

Thud!

Catsy, who had been tidying up the room, was startled by the sudden sound from the bed and turned around.

The empty room suddenly had its owner.

“You’re back?”

“Ugh!”

Ryuie, who was face-down on the pillow, let out a strange cry.

“Ughhh! Ahhhhh!”

Ryuie pounded beside the pillow with banging sounds.

“Next time I go, I should cover my eyes or something!”

“Pardon?”

“I hate myself for being honest about desire for the first time.”

“?!”

Catsy’s eyes widened.

Our young lady! The young lady who had learned to walk with self-esteem from birth was saying she hated herself?

It was something that would turn heaven and earth upside down.

“What on earth happened!”

While Catsy was shocked, Ryuie continued to glare at the air.

It wasn’t like she had little experience being tempted.

She didn’t have a generous personality either.

She had never once let go of someone hateful enough to kill or felt sympathy for them.

The problem was that until now, Ryuie’s anger had only come from her head.

When the person she had always kept by her side and touched naturally looked up at her with eyes full of blind attachment, her body moved without her knowing.

“Ahhhhh!”

Ryuie’s pounding became even stronger. Just when it seemed the bed would collapse, her fist finally burst through the blanket with a thud.

“I can’t stand it!”

White feathers fluttered gently through the air.

How much had she looked down on people who couldn’t think with their heads and only thought with their lower bodies!

And of all people, her body reacted first when looking at Glem!

If it had been Yosua instead, she could have at least understood it a tiny bit.

After all, Yosua’s appearance could be called the most beautiful in the world without exaggeration.

But someone like Glem.

‘He’s not completely unattractive though.’

Ryuie ground her teeth.

If she looked carefully in the Capital, there would surely be handsome men on Glem’s level.

The problem was that damn long, shimmering hair that tangled seductively around his body, and those well-formed muscles, and those fingers with prominent knuckles, and that languid voice…

Realizing that thinking about it was only making the situation worse, Ryuie struck down once more.

Usually when this happened, she would go out shooting to vent her frustration, but strangely her insides felt restless and she wasn’t in the mood for that.

This was truly a first for her.

“Catsy!”

“Yes? Yes! Miss!”

“Let’s go hunting!”

“What?”

Ryuie, who had gotten up filled with indignation, staggered. She thought it hadn’t broken, but one side of the bed frame had finally given way from her earlier rampage.

Looking down at where her foot had sunk in, Ryuie frowned and pulled her leg out.

“You’ll find out when we get there.”
