Chapter 226
With the coachman’s words, the baggage wagon set off. Since Jade, who was a freelance mercenary, was also with them, their group didn’t look too awkward. They appeared to be a Castrello merchant who had fortunately acquired an imperial wife and some porters and a mercenary.
Clunk clunk- The wagon traveled along the main road with uncomfortable shaking. Roina sat next to Ethan and looked at Jason and Rager, who were sitting somewhat uncomfortably, hunched over. They were looking in different directions with slightly awkward expressions. As the wagon slowly moved, a faint breeze flowed in through the side windows.
“…Are you all really okay?”
At Roina’s voice, the three men looked at her. Roina spoke while fiddling with the cloth she had wrapped around her face to conceal it. It was a common attire for women in this region, who tried not to show their skin.
“From now on, we need to focus on the matters of the Castrello Kingdom, so I’m asking because there won’t be many opportunities to have this kind of conversation.”
She looked at the slightly awkwardly shaking floor of the wagon. The old wooden floor gave off a somewhat shabby feeling, but it was still quite sturdy.
“In any case, you are my contractors.”
Ethan embraced her shoulders and kissed the top of her head.
“The most important thing left in my life is you.”
Jason chuckled and softened his somewhat fierce expression as he spoke.
“It’s something I chose to do. I’m not the type to endure things I dislike. Don’t worry about it.”
Rager pulled down and then released the hood he had pulled up to cover his conspicuous white hair, and said with a composed look.
“Roina-nim’s joy is my joy.”
Rager was actually the person among them who was most closely connected to Roina in terms of magic power, so his words were true. He had become a bit more energetic since Roina shared her golden mana, and he shared to some extent the pleasure that Roina felt. Roina’s cheeks flushed slightly as she was reminded of that fact.
“Um, that’s what I’m saying.”
Jason suddenly glanced around and said.
“I don’t think anyone can see us right now… Can I just lick your b*****s one more time?”
“…Jason!!”
Roina, who had been momentarily stunned by what he said, shouted. He had been so fixated on Roina’s b*****s the night before, what kind of nonsense was this?
“But, your b*****s taste sweet when I suck on them. Do you know why?”
“Why are you saying such things now,”
“Please don’t trouble Roina-nim.”
At that moment, Ethan said nonchalantly. Just as Roina was sighing in relief.
“Isn’t it natural, since it’s Roina-nim’s body?”
Ethan, who had seemed rational, went a step further.
Roina shouted again, but it wasn’t very effective. It seemed that something had been unleashed in the three men since yesterday. They stopped restraining each other and focused on desiring Roina even more. In the end, Roina had to close the wagon’s side windows and, starting with Jason, who lunged at her, grant each of the three men what they wanted inside the swaying wagon.
After a journey in the wagon that felt both short and long, they finally arrived in the inner city. Roina, mentally exhausted, quickly got off the wagon. Although it hadn’t gone all the way, the atmosphere inside the wagon had become quite steamy due to the suggestive situation.
Jason, who got off the wagon with a regretful smack of his lips, grinned and leaned down to whisper in Roina’s ear.
“Once this is over, I’m first. Got it?”
It was because, due to his unique characteristic, he couldn’t penetrate her last night and was the only one who didn’t enter Roina. Roina just glared at Jason with a reproachful look and turned away.
“Ethan. Now that we’re here, we need to get into the royal palace… Do you happen to know any secret passages or anything like that?”
“…Hmm.”
Ethan looked around the inner city. It was unfamiliar. In the outer city, there had been strict vigilance against outsiders, but the inner city was different. Here, there was an atmosphere of welcoming the empire’s people.
With all the convenient facilities concentrated here, it was almost like it had become a part of the Kailum Empire.
“I do know some, but they might have been discovered by the empire. I think it would be best to explore this place first.”
Roina nodded. According to Neilla, the goddess’s energy was pooling beneath the royal palace. Along with clues that seemed to be related to the fragment of primordial magic…
“Okay. Let’s look around first.”
It was time to find out what Count Icardo’s intentions were and if there was any way to sneak into the royal palace.
