Chapter 30: Like
The next day, the bright winter sun shone through the window lattice and into the lord's room.
Hemmer sat by the fire, absentmindedly throwing a few pieces of wood into the fireplace.
The only thing left in the large room was the beeping of fuel in the flames and the intermittent sobbing of the woman.
The warmth of the fireplace diffuses throughout the room. On the bed, Aurelia was wrapped in a thick quilt, her long hair scattered at the head of the bed, her eyes staring at his back with vacant eyes, her well-defined back covered in scratches and bloodlines, unabashedly revealing the madness of yesterday.
The pain all over her body felt like she was about to fall apart, and the shame became more and more unbearable for her.
"I'm sorry, I... You know I'm definitely not that kind of person, it's justβ" Hemmer was about to defend himself, but when he saw Aurelia's ice-bladed gaze, he ashamedly promised, "I'll be responsible for you... Aurelia. β
She glared at him with red eyes and confronted him, tears rolling in her eyes: "You mean bastard! I was naΓ―ve enough to think that you were different from your despicable compatriots..."
Seeing her obviously sad and strong, Hemmer couldn't help but frown, and had the urge to hold her in his arms to comfort her.
"That's not the case, Aurelia, you know I didn't treat you and Ellen as slaves from the beginning... I'm actually..."
Hearing this, Aurelia felt even more pathetic, being treated like a thing between people, snatching it back and forth, and finally being able to settle down for a while, and this kind of thing happened again. What made her even more uncomfortable was that she was not emotionless for Hermer, but only a sprout of it, the girl's fantasy, the small world was shattered by last night's atrocities. But she won't let him know her ridiculous feelings, she just gritted her teeth and held back her tears, even if she was wronged, she wouldn't let herself cry.
In fact, becoming a slave of the dark elves, as long as they can live well without being killed, is already something that most slaves dream of. But she still has the luxury of wanting more, and she is really a little dissatisfied. Who can be blamed for this, it's all because she has a mind about this man. It would be nice if I didn't have this feeling, if I didn't meet him...... Thinking of this, she couldn't hold back any longer, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Nothing like this had ever happened before, and looking at Aurelia crying with her head in her arms, Hermer sat stiffly by the fire, and could only throw wood into the fireplace piece by piece.
"What was the experience of stealing the forbidden fruit for the first time? Memorable... Eat the marrow and know the taste... Do you feel ecstatic and uncontrollable? There's nothing to be ashamed of, Hemer, don't hold yourself back. β
Ez's demagogic voice surrounded his ears, and Hemer was angry, if it weren't for this slaanese demon, how could he have done such a beastly thing yesterday.
Crime boss!
He immediately gritted his teeth and roared, "Shut up! β
Aurelia, who was sobbing on the bed, thought that Hermer was scolding herself, and was full of grievances, so she angrily grabbed a pillow and threw it at Hermer, tears raining down.
After being hit with a velvet pillow, Hermer woke up in anger and realized that Aurelia had misunderstood, he cursed Ez, then picked up the pillow and sat on the edge of the bed to soothe her crying.
Seeing her swallow her saliva and turn her head away for forbearance, his heart was crushed by nameless pain. I really wanted to let go of my guard, hold her in my arms hard, and kiss her tears tenderly......
The girl shrunk into the quilt and choked up and sobbed.
Helpless, Hemmer pulled the quilt, "Aurelia..."
He asked helplessly at the arched quilt, "Do you really hate me?" β
There has been no response for a long time, and the original embarrassment has turned into empty loss. Hemmer let out a long breath and whispered, "Actually... I know I'm just a hopelessly dark elf in your heart... But..."
"Back outside of Anaheim, I liked you when I saw you, regardless of past suspicions, treating wounded soldiers."
"I like every moment with you, I like to see you work hard... But I'm so stupid that I can't think of a way to go any further... I thought it would be good to drag it out like this until one day I could send you and Aren back to Ulthuan Island and never see each other again. β
"I, a hopelessly dark Durussy, deserve the luxury of an Asur." Hemmer hugged the pillow and smiled bitterly, guarding his feelings like a sick person, never escaping his cage.
He once wanted to let Aurelia go, but it could be seen that she was stupid, he was really afraid that she would stumble in the world of the dark elves, and he was afraid that she would be ostracized when she returned to Osune, and he was even more afraid that no one would listen to her when she was alone.
"You are the light in my world, but I am the darkness in your world..."
"Idiot." Ez's voice echoed again, "Women are all strong and strong, if you really want to be favored by her, you should use your strength to conquer her body and mind, and open the bed to let her look directly at you." β
"Shut up, demon." With his previous experience, Hemmer silently fought back at Ez in his heart.
Suddenly, he noticed a drop of warm liquid falling on the back of his hand, and his hand and body stiffened. Then he looked up and saw a teary-eyed Aurelia staring at him, "So what? β
"So what?" Hemmer's brain was short-circuited.
Aurelia wiped her tears with her sleeve like a child, and slurred her words: "You don't like me, you, you dark elves...... It's all the same, just one thing......"
"What's the matter?" Hemmer short-circuited his brain and asked rhetorically.
"you!" Another pillow slammed over.
Taking the soft pillow, Hemmer reacted, realizing that Aurelia was talking about contributing to the oral affairs, and he immediately swore: "Wronged, I'm different from those compatriots, okay, I'm a righteous gentleman, don't you understand my personality?" β
"If I liked to do that, would I have to wait until now?"
"Then you say... Like me... Is it true? β
"Is that fake?" Hemmer lifted her face and said sincerely, "You are a glimmer of light from my world, but I have dreamed like dragging you into darkness." β
Aurelia's face turned crimson at Hemer's sensual words, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain made Hemmer obsessed again.
"I won't believe you if you lie..."
Looking at her petal-like lips closing one by one, he suddenly felt that his mouth was dry, and she was fragile but stubborn... Scenes that took place throughout the night were repeated one after another.
Hemmer gently bit down on Aurelia's crystalline earlobe, who snorted and was pushed down on the bed, and he opened her hair on her forehead and kissed her forehead to her cheek, nose, chin, lips, and then neck......
Observing this, Eth silently gave a thumbs up. This son has the posture of a slain champion. Immediately, her consciousness returned to chaos, and she once again threw herself into the never-ending game of greatness for the Prince of Darkness.
...
It was late evening that Hemmer got out of bed, humming a little tune and getting dressed. Seeing that Aurelia was still curled up in the quilt and sleeping soundly, he played with her blonde hair, and heard the latter let out a listless "um". There were still traces of his kiss on her neck, and the faint dark circles under her eyes were a reminder of his over-the-top behavior all day.
Refreshed, Hemmer walked out of the room into the hallway to stretch out, and was about to order the guards standing guard to bring Melson something to warm his stomach, when Alleyne suddenly burst out of the corner and punched Hermer angrily.
Hemmer easily caught his move, and then pulled Alleyne in front of him, and directly locked his neck with his backhand, poor Alleyn couldn't struggle under his ruthless iron hands, and could only scold angrily, "Hammer, you tyrant, traitor, traitor, adulterer!" β
"Ouch!" Giving the boy a favorite fried chestnut, Hemer grinned, "How did you talk to your brother-in-law?" β
"Brother-in-law...?" Alleyne was stunned for two or three seconds, but struggled harder, "You're not my brother-in-law, you... You dark elf, how dare you force my sister... Uncle won't let you go if he finds out! β
"Esarion? Let's wait until he gets rid of the greenskins first. "Big-bellied King Gollum is not a good look, enough for the watchman to have a headache for a while.
The furious Alleyne's face turned red with anger, and he still didn't listen to Hemmer's persuasion.
It happened that the old butler Melson came with a servant to deliver food, and Hemer beckoned: "Come on, feed Ai Gongzi bread." β
Pulling out the belt and backhanding to help Alleyne's hand, a few pieces of flatbread were stuffed into his mouth, and the man was finally honest.
"Your sister is still sleeping in there, and when she wakes up, tell her to eat." didn't wait for Alleyne to stare at him, he pushed the person directly into the room and slammed the door shut.
Hemmer slapped his forehead, "It's clean." β
"My brother doesn't have a good temper, and he will have to suffer a lot in the future. When to find an opportunity to grind. β
He was thinking that when he marched into the province of Lustia, he would pull Ellen into the army to hone his mind.
When they came to the hall, Kehir and Anzales had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw that the lord looked as usual, as if he was not the same person as yesterday, they looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
So Kehir stepped forward and reported: "My lord, last night we found a few hidden witches in the townspeople's houses, you can see what to do. β
"Gather all the inhabitants of Ironthorn Town into the square, and then escort these witches over and execute them in front of the townspeople." Hemmer has been somewhat influenced by the devil, and is now more and more decisive than he once had a soft heart.
"Yes, sir."
Half an hour later.
The Ironthorn townspeople, who had only just recovered from the panic of Death Midnight, gathered in the square in the center of the town at the lord's call.
It was bustling in an instant, and the crowd was crowded.
Thousands of pairs of eyes fell on the high platform at the same time, and more than a dozen witch spirits were tied hand and foot, wearing black cloth bags on their heads, and two burly soldiers were free, unable to move.
Hemmer walked to the stage with Khill, Anzales, and other guards, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
He then drew his sword and executed a sorcerer.
The crowd below cheered like a wave.
Afterwards, Hemmer returned his sword to the sheath and tilted his head to signal the soldier next to him to move.
There was a clatter, and the cloth bag containing the human head rolled to the ground. Hemmer looked at all the townspeople of Iron Thorn Town and said loudly: "Old and young masters, it's still the same sentence, evil does not suppress good, evil does not suppress good!" β
After executing the remnants of the Kane Temple to appease the people, Hemer and his men left the square and returned to the lord's manor, planning to march into the province of Lustria.
