Episode 30 : Are you thankful this much?
Escalion grabbed my hand and we came out of the castle together, and I saw the servants gathered in a circle around something.
Even for the people of Griblata, the sight of a wizard creating a giant portal seemed like a rare sight.
“Ah, my lord!”
Wolff shouted after spotting the Lord and his wife coming out together, and the surrounding employees quickly moved their seats to make room for them.
Is it him?
Belladonna took her steps with him and came close to the wizard, who was standing with his back turned, her robes turned over.
“Fabion.”
“Yes, my lord. Thank you for having me.”
When Escalion called his name, the wizard named Fabion turned his head, taking off the blue robes he was wearing.
‘Oh……’
A white-haired old man who looked to be well over 100 years old was looking at them.
Belladonna looked up at Escalion in confusion at the sight of the wizard who seemed much older than expected.
Isn’t it too much of Escalion to entrust a difficult task like creating a portal to such an old man? Isn’t this elder abuse?
Fabion bowed his head to Escalion and spoke in a very low voice.
“hmm…Let’s make it here. It seems appropriate for this place to be wide in all directions.”
“Do it.”
“Wow……!”
“It’s starting!”
The surroundings were filled with the sounds of the servants chatting with anticipation as they managed to understand the old man’s small voice.
Fabion turned his body back to normal and held the staff he was holding in the air, making a large circle.
After clearing his throat for a moment, he closed his eyes and muttered something incomprehensible, and blue flames began to rise from the place where the circle was drawn.
“Look at that…… !”
“Wow!!”
The people’s cheering grew louder.
The blue flame also grew bigger and bigger, until it became large enough for a large carriage to pass in and out without difficulty.
Belladonna opened her eyes wide and looked up at the portal he had created.
Right now, it was just a burning fire, but it was clear that if I closed my eyes and passed through it, a new scenery would be waiting for me.
and…….This is my first time seeing a portal this big……!
“Is it done?”
Escalion, who was standing nearby, asked in a grumpy voice.
Fabion, who looked much older than he had been just a few minutes ago, perhaps due to exhaustion of her magical power, nodded his head slowly. He seemed to have used up all his strength to even speak.
“Okay. Then everyone, get ready.”
As Escalion, who still seemed unimpressed, gave instructions to the surrounding Servants, those surrounding them slowly returned to their original positions with regretful steps.
Belladonna was also about to turn around to find Cindy, but someone grabbed her wrist with a strong grip.
“Wait…for a moment!”
huh?
Surprised by a sensation different from Escalion, she turned her head, and before she knew it, the wizard had come close to her and was staring at her, breathing heavily.
Belladonna looked down at the old man’s bony hand that had grabbed her wrist with a puzzled expression. Fabion furrowed her eyebrows and opened her mouth.
“Sa, saint……?”
“Do you have any business with my wife?”
Escalion asked, quickly slapping his arm away. His golden eyes quickly sank violently.
However, Fabion didn’t take his eyes off Belladonna, as if he didn’t care about her strength.
“This is a bit strange…Are you really the saint?”
Beneath the fine wrinkles, his dark eyes were shining.
What is this old man talking about now? no way…Do he know that I am not a real saint?
Belladonna couldn’t even blink her eyes due to her sudden nervousness. She felt as if his eyes were holding her tightly.
“What is this insolent wizard talking about now?”
Escalion blocked Belladonna’s path, muttering in his fierce voice.
Only then did he escape his gaze and Belladonna let out a stifled breath.
“If you get paid, do what you’re told. Stop worrying about her other man’s wife.”
“Oh my. Sorry, sorry. I guess I saw it wrong.”
Fabion finally bowed his waist and took a step back due to the sudden momentum.
Belladonna, hiding behind Escalion’s back, watched Fabion’s figure return near the portal, placing her hand over her rapidly pounding heart.
Does that wizard really know something?
“Are you okay?”
Once Fabion was gone, Escalion quickly turned his body to look at Belladonna. He lifted her wrist, which had been held by Fabion in particular, and looked at it closely.
“That damn wizard…he didn’t grab it too hard, right?”
Belladonna shook her head slightly. In the first place, Fabion didn’t have the strength to do that.
“If there is even the slightest injury or swelling…..Portal and all, I know I won’t leave that wizard alone. He said he had a lot of experience, but he’s just senile.”
Escalion, muttering with a strain on her lower jaw, gently wrapped his arms around Belladonna’s shoulders and moved towards the carriage.
“Go in first. We’ll be leaving soon.”
He let her into her carriage and began to converse with Wolff, who was standing in front of him.
Belladonna quickly moved from her seat in her carriage and opened the window opposite hers. Fabion could still be seen looking around the portal.
I think I need to have a conversation with that guy…
‘Is there a chance for that?’
The maintenance time of the giant portal was less than an hour. In the meantime, we had to move quickly, and it was clear that if we arrived safely in Sirlenia, the wizard would return to where he was.
“ha……”
Just as she was sighing softly, Escalion, who had finished talking with Wolff, got into the carriage where she was sitting.
Bella naturally sat down next to him, leaned back comfortably in the chair and stretched out her legs. His thighs, much thicker and longer than mine, stretched out in front.
“He say that if we go through that portal, we will arrive at the middle town of Titisi, and if you create another portal there and go through it, you will reach Sirlenia.”
“…….”
“He said that unlike public portals where the travel distance is short, it can be dizzying. You might as well just go to sleep.”
After finishing her words, Escalion slightly moved his seat and also pulled me towards him.
She relaxed her entire body and moved her body as he pulled her, and before she knew it, she was lying on his thigh.
Belladonna lay on her rock hard thighs and blinked her eyes. Escalion was stroking her stomach with clumsy hands.
“Okay.”
“……?”
Huh?
Bella Donna burst into laughter as he acted like je was putting a child to sleep.
Escalion, who had been looking down at Belladonna, who was silently shaking her shoulders and laughing, turned his head and looked out the window.
She was so beautiful that I wanted to keep looking at her smiling face, but she was also so beautiful that I couldn’t bear to see her like that.
As the unfamiliar feeling came again, he felt his chest becoming suffocated. Even though he was wearing thin clothes, he had a fever and felt hot.
“Now let’s take off! Please board the portal one by one, starting from the carriage in front!”
I heard Wolff shouting from outside.
Escalion reached down and smoothed out Belladonna’s flowing bangs. The carriage they were riding in soon moved forward, slowly moving its wheels.
* * *
As the wizard said, less than half a day had passed since we arrived in Sirlenia.
Belladonna passed through two portals and looked at Syrlenia’s villa, which had just appeared before her eyes.
“Are you dizzy?”
Escalion next to me asked.
Bellady shook her head. Although she had a bit of a crisis halfway through, it didn’t lead to her getting motion sickness.
After confirming that his wife was okay, Escalion followed her gaze and watched the villa getting closer.
“It’s been a while. Did it originally look like that?”
Unlike Griblatta Castle, which gave a cold and sharp impression at first glance, with its walls made of dark, hard bricks, Sirlenia’s villa, made of smooth marble, was a beautiful townhouse no matter who saw it.
Belladonna was impressed in her heart as she looked at the neat and clean design of the building.
‘I should have asked you to come a long time ago! Isn’t it so beautiful?’
“If I had known you liked it this much, you would have come a long time ago.”
Escalion turned his gaze to look at Belladonna’s side profile with sparkling eyes, and said with a chuckle.
Even though Bella was embarrassed, she moved her head and looked at his face.
Golden eyes came closer and filled my field of vision.
“If you’re thankful, give me a kiss.”
Huh? Belladonna raised her eyebrows, doubting her own ears.
What did you say?
Escalion opened his mouth again without changing his expression.
“hurriedly hired people to make thr villa usable, and i called in a wizard to create the giant portal. Plus, i took time out of my busy schedule to come along, so doesn’t i deserve praise? So come on.”
“…….”
“Why don’t you do it?”
Escalion asked, raising the corner of his mouth slightly.
He was truly a shameless bastard. So, who told you to follow me?
Just as she was contemplating how to refuse, she felt the carriage come to a halt as if she had completely arrived.
Nice timing! I have to get off now, so get out of the way! Belladonna raised her arms and gently pressed them against his chest.
But he wasn’t pushed back at all.
“If you don’t do it, you can’t get off.”
Said Escalion, hard as a rock. Belladonna looked up at him with her bewildered eyes.
“It’s true.”
From outside, the sound of Servants disembarking from the front and rear carriages and moving their luggage could be heard.
Wolff, who thought it was strange that the Lord and his wife’s carriage didn’t open even after arriving, could have knocked on the carriage door they were riding in at any moment.
eww…..Shameful child….Do it, do it!
Bella also lunged at him, sticking out her lips, thinking it would be better to do it quickly and get it over with.
Chou! After a light kiss, she quickly took her head away.
“……!”
As if waiting for him, he grabbed the back of his head and twisted his head.
Her thick tongue slid in between her lips that were opened in surprise.
Belladonna glared at his eyelids, which had closed tightly at some point, and hit his hard chest with her fist.
This snake……!
Escalion thrust deep into her and lightly skimmed Belladonna’s teeth, playfully nuzzling her lower lip before pulling away from hers.
Escalion smiled as he swept the back of her hand across her red lips. The corners of her narrow eyes were also turning red before he knew it.
“Are you this much thankful?”
“…….”
“Don’t talk.”
