Chapter 83

At the same time a clear, ringing voice was heard, the man was kicked in the rear and tumbled forward.

“Does Vilona teach people to act up recklessly in other people’s territory?”

Cream-colored hair, slightly upturned eyes. It was Ateruna.

“You, what are you supposed to be!”

As the man flared up and tried to get back up, Ateruna lightly pressed his forehead with the tip of her foot.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Thud!

The man fell on his rear again.

“This kind of thing might have been common in Vilona where you’re from, but this is Saharte. And it’s Nanuk territory.”

Ateruna spoke briefly and decisively.

“You know very well what that means, don’t you?”

As soon as those words ended, people began gathering.

“What’s going on? What happened?”

“That man tried to hit a child just because they’re a beastkin.”

The murmuring spread instantly as everyone’s gaze focused on the man.

“There are still idiots like that around?”

“Where did scum like that crawl in from! This is why people from Vilona are!”

Harsh glares poured from the gathered crowd. The man gradually shrank back, then muttered something under his breath and scurried away to the end of the alley.

Ateruna sighed and turned around.

“Haah… Damn racist bastards. Are you okay, Nana?”

“Thanks to you, thank you.”

Ateruna playfully grabbed Nana’s hand and helped her up.

“Oh my, your pretty clothes got all dirty. Really, those Vilona bastards are useless in every way.”

“It’s fine. This much is nothing…”

Nana glanced down at her clothes.

Just then, the child who had been held tightly in Nana’s arms lifted their head slightly.

“Um… thank you.”

The child bowed deeply in greeting.

Watching this, Ateruna smiled and said,

“Well then, let’s take this good child home and then you can go shopping with me. Since I ruined your clothes, I’ll treat you today.”

Nana tried to wave her hands in protest, but Ateruna pushed her along, patting her back.

“Huh? No, I’m really fine…!”

But Ateruna’s touch was relentless, and Nana had no choice but to be swept along.

Inside the tea house.

After finishing their shopping, the two sat facing each other with cups of tea.

“Tea here really is the best.”

Ateruna smiled brightly and downed her cold iced tea in one gulp.

Seeing this, Nana smiled softly and gently lifted her teacup.

A warm fragrance reached near her lips.

“But will that child from earlier be okay? We helped today, but what if they get harassed again on other days?”

“You don’t need to worry about that. Many Nanuk Tribe members live in Saharte. Nanuk doesn’t distinguish between beastkin and humans – they all live together harmoniously.”

“Really?”

“Yes. On the other hand, Vilona is quite different. They believe humans are superior. They don’t even treat beastkin as human, thinking they’re the center of the world – quite a selfish tribe. The problem is their power is too significant to ignore. That’s why their arrogance reaches the sky. So…”

‘So that’s why there’s even talk of marriage with my brother.’

Ateruna’s mouth snapped shut. She quickly pressed her hand over her loose lips that had almost blurted out the rest. Cold sweat ran down her spine.

Fortunately, Nana didn’t seem to notice, but her expression had hardened with complexity.

Sensing the strangely heavy atmosphere, Ateruna hastily changed the subject.

“Um, hey! What do you think about beastkin?”

At the unexpected question, Nana blinked once, fell into thought for a moment, then opened her mouth in a careful but firm tone.

“Well. I’ve never divided people into black and white. Whether beastkin or human, they laugh when happy, cry when hurt, and can like or hate someone. They’re both people with hearts.”

Nana’s eyes were transparently clear without a hint of cloudiness. They were honest eyes that simply conveyed her thoughts as they were.

“And judging people based only on appearance is, well, too simple and rude, I think.”

Nana neither trailed off nor embellished her words. For her, this was a natural way of life that had long been ingrained in her.

At that moment, Ateruna felt something pierce her heart with resonance.

‘I already knew she was a good person, but now I think I understand a little why my brother couldn’t help but fall for the maid.’

Some indescribable emotion slowly filled Ateruna’s chest. She looked down for a moment, then lifted her head decisively with a bright smile.

“Sister!”

“Yes?”

“I really want to become close with you!”

Really, really close! Not just friends, but like a real younger sister!

At Ateruna’s sudden and passionate confession, Nana blinked in confusion. But soon a gentle smile bloomed.

“I think we’re already quite close? We’re shopping together like this and having tea together.”

Just as Ateruna was blooming with a sunshine-like smile across her face,

“Even if he’s a half-breed, if it’s Ishanka Aibanu Nanuk, that’s acceptable. He’s pretty enough to tolerate, right?”

When the familiar name reached her ears, Nana unconsciously turned her head. The voice came from a table some distance away.

She couldn’t see the face clearly, but between the slightly swaying feet, she caught sight of the annoying purple hair she’d seen at the market.

“The avatar of Aibanu, a king of a nation. That level of quality wouldn’t be embarrassing anywhere, right? Well… it’s a bit annoying that he’s a half-breed with beastkin on his mother’s side, but I can embrace that much.”

“It’s good for the king too. If he marries you, Murakka, the half-breed blood will be diluted, right?”

“Then what about that sister? Are you accepting that filthy beast bitch as family too?”

“Are you crazy? How could I bring such a filthy beast into my castle? Right after marriage, I’ll have to dump her in some rural corner. Or maybe skin her and use her as a rug.”

Disgusting laughter pierced her eardrums.

Just from hearing that brief conversation, Nana realized with certainty.

They didn’t see Ishanka as a person.

There was no respect, no understanding.

To them, he was merely a stud for bloodline purposes.

‘…I am.’

I’m upset that man seems to treat me like a woman worthy of being his second wife, and with the system gone, I’m anxiously rotting away alone in this strange land.

That man I so painfully love and hate – how dare someone like you.

‘How dare you treat him like that?’

All the accumulated anxiety, misery, and even self-loathing for being unable to let him go exploded like an active volcano.

Nana shot up from her seat and strode toward Murakka. There was no time for anyone to stop her.

Smack—!

A sharp crack rang out, sharp enough to freeze the air in the restaurant. Murakka’s head snapped 90 degrees as the surroundings fell into breathless silence.

“You, you…”

Just as Murakka stammered with a dazed face, clutching her cheek,

Smack!

Nana’s palm struck the other cheek once more.

“You reek, so shut your mouth.”

Nana ground her teeth. Blue flames were sparking in her eyes.

“Treating your future husband like a stud and talking about skinning your future sister-in-law? I suspected your character at the market earlier, but you’re really not human, are you?”

“Are, are you insane! What lowly bitch crawled out from where!”

“Diluting blood would be good for the king? Your rotten mindset is already at garbage level, so who are you going to save! Is the king of a nation your accessory? If you’re going to speak of that person in such a way, just rip out your tongue and throw it away!”

Nana’s outburst wasn’t simple righteous indignation. It was rage and anguish at having her own miserable one-sided love for Ishanka insulted.

“You, you’re just a country bumpkin outsider from some kingdom, what do you know to be spouting off! A beggar-like thing buying cheap jam at the market!”

Murakka raised her hand in venomous fury, but Nana didn’t dodge. Instead, she clenched her fist and drove it toward her jaw with all her might.

Thud!

Murakka lost her balance and crashed ungracefully to the floor.

“Before calling people half-breeds, look at yourself and fix your character first! You piece of trash worse than garbage!”</Human: Continue with CHUNK 2 of 2 from Chapter 83.

The surroundings began to buzz and stir with commotion.

Someone shouted “Hey, stop that woman!” and rushed forward, but Nana had already left the restaurant.

Outside, snow was falling.

No, it was beyond falling—snowflakes were swirling fiercely on harsh winds.

Snowflakes brushed against her face and cold wind whipped violently around the edges of her cloak. Nana stopped in place for a moment.

In the midst of the swirling snow, Sweet Little Village suddenly came to mind.

Green and peaceful farms, waves sparkling under sunlight, laughter and rustling grass blades.

One side of her chest ached with distant longing. She missed that place and wanted to return. To that place where there was warmth, laughter, and gentle breath.

Nana steeled her heart.

She no longer wanted to stay here.

Ishanka, all the circumstances surrounding him, and even her own heart—she was sick and tired of everything.

Let’s go back to Sweet Little Village.

To the place where I belong.
