Novel The Great Wish Volume 4
Chapter 1 - Touching Hearts
Part 1
The
maids saw Silver Queen leaving the palace in light armor. Her swordsmanship
practice was steady every day. It was a familiar sight to see the Silver Queen
in armor going alone. She hung the sword from the sword belt around her waist,
but held another sword in her hand. The practice location has been Sienna’s
favorite place for a long time. As she got closer to her destination, her heart
started pounding faster and faster.
And
at the promised place, Kuhn is standing in moisture posture.
‘Ah…’
I
had a slight chill. As the loud heartbeat stopped suddenly, the hot blood that
the heart spouted spread throughout the body. I'm happy. Just seeing that man
made me feel better.
Unlike
her armor-clad, he was impeccable. His tall height was well balanced with his
big physique. If there was no one around to compare, it looked very sharp.
He
was bare-handed. There was nothing I could do about it, because if Marquess
Lard, not a knight, entered the palace with a weapon, the back story would come
out.
Rumors
spread widely that Lard Merchant Union belonged to the Marquess, but there were
more people who did not know about Kalligo Mercenaries. The aristocrats are
interested in money rather than force. So, the unusual swordsmanship skills of
the Marquess were hardly known.
His
eyes met me and he smiled. Sienna walked over to him without taking her eyes
off him. As he took one step closer, he grew taller. I can't put it at a
glance. I feel it every time I meet him, but he was a really big man.
Sienna
smiled broadly, looking at Kuhn. I couldn't stand the laughter that came out by
itself. His eyes are now darker.
And
in a brief moment of blinking eyes, he came closer. His lips pressed against
hers.
At
first, he just going to put my lips in a hurry. After a while, he seemed to
have calmed down a bit, and he gently wrapped his hands around her face. He
tilted her head further and the two of them opened their mouths more.
His
tongue was tightly entangled. There was a sound of sucking each other's
insides. Their kisses are always hot. Sienna felt like she was swallowing hot
fire every time they kissed. The sharp sensation was thrilling.
'Does
he feel cold in my mouth?'
Apparently,
the two of them had slightly different body temperatures. As the length of the
kiss increased, the temperature difference became fainter, and Sienna felt like
she was sharing his temperature.
He
persistently poured a light kiss on Sienna's lips, then parted them reluctantly.
Sienna
opened her eyes. His face was right in front of her. He grinned and gave her a
few short kisses. After that, he let go of the hand that covered her face.
He
always regretted that it was not enough every time he finished kissing. I've never
seen him look satisfied. Will the day come when his endless greed will be
satisfied?
Sienna
hoped that day would never come. I wish he was constantly wanting her. She
looked at him and she smiled.
Kuhn
let out a small sigh. Her unguarded smile suffocated and made the world go
round. When he thought others saw her smile, he had a radical urge to tear that
person apart.
'I'm
getting more and more crazy.'
Kuhn
was careful not to reveal his vulgarity. In front of her, he acted like a
gentle puppy. But how long can it continue?
Now
that he feels that her heart is slowly opening up, it's still okay. But if she
changes her mind and withdraws or turns away. Can you respect her judgment?
'...Cannot.
I will never let her go.'
Kuhn
grabbed Sienna’s sword under the handle and gave it a little force. He released
his hand that was holding her tight.
It
was cumbersome, but with a few shortcuts, he was able to pick up the sword. But
Sienna said, 'Don't do anything that will get you caught'. He volunteered and
brought her practice sword. It was good that she worked hard for herself. So he
silently followed her instructions.
“It’s
a different sword from yesterday.”
Sienna
glanced at him as he looked at the sword. He hadn't been able to get out of the
afterglow of the kiss he had just had before, but his expression was clean.
'Not
all men do this, right?'
Sometimes
I felt he was good. He also had a natural personality. Since I don't have
anyone to compare with, I can't say in detail. Feeling her observing gaze, he
lifted his head.
“Why?”
“You
resemble someone that I know.”
“Me?”
“Eung
(Yes).”
Kuhn
twisted his brow.
"With
whom?"
"There
is someone like that."
You
that I saw in my dream. Sienna mumbled to herself.
"I
guess it's the sword you always carry...... What's the difference?"
Kuhn
resisted the urge to ask, 'Who is he? What kind of person is he?' Then, he
answered my question with a dissatisfied expression.
"It's
lighter."
"Isn't
a light sword bad?"
"There
are pros and cons. If you lack physical strength, then it would be better to
use a light sword. Whereas a heavy sword has strong attack power."
"Then
wouldn't it be better to use a heavy sword?"
"What's
the use of attack power if you can't lift the sword properly?"
"Is
the sword I use to practice a light sword?"
"It's
not a light sword. You can use a heavier sword because you are strong."
"You
think I'm strong? Me? Even though I always feel like a child fighting adults
every time I train with you."
Kuhn
laughed.
"Your
Highness, don't compare yourself to me. For a woman, you have very strong
strength."
"Ah.
For a woman."
Sienna
who had never felt limited by the fact that she was a woman became angry.
"Then
do you have enough strength for a man?"
"Me?
I have extraordinary strength for a human."
"......Now
I know what it is. The people around me must be feeling this strange
feeling."
Seeing
him smiling mischievously, Sienna laughed too.
"Your
sword, the sword I've seen before......"
Kuhn
smiled at her cautiously.
"What
are you curious about?"
"......The
hilt and blade, are all black. That sword is the famous Black Sword,
right?"
"Although
that sword isn't famous in a good way. It is quite famous indeed."
"......"
“Then?
Sienna, everything will be fine. Just tell me.”
Sienna
hesitated before speaking.
"There's
no need to answer if this is a difficult question for you."
The
expression on his face as he nodded was odd.
"You......
Are you the Leader of Kalligo?"
"Eung.
(Yes)"
He
immediately answered calmly, causing Sienna to feel slightly embarrassed.
"I
heard that Kalligo's Mercenaries wield Black Swords. However, the Leader's
sword is more special......"
“The
Black Sword was made by a special smelting method. We added the Desert
Monster's body parts into the manufacturing process, and it resulted in a
black-bladed sword that was extremely hard and elastic. My sword was slightly
different because it was passed down from generation to generation. There is
only 1 in this world."
"Is
the material different?"
"I
don't know exactly because that sword is an inheritance. What's special about
that sword is, you know, it feels like it's alive? It protects its owner."
"How?"
"It's
hard to explain. I'll show you when I get the chance."
"I
heard that Kalligo is a soldier of the Lard Merchant Union. Since you are the
owner of the Lard Merchant Union, so you became the Leader of Kalligo?"
"I
can't say that it's unrelated, but that's not the only reason. To become the
Leader......"
Sienna,
who had been listening with interest, now shook her head.
"No
need. I don't want to hear it anymore."
Kuhn
said with a laugh. But somehow, it sounded sharp.
"You
were always like that. Every time I felt us getting a little closer, you would
put up another wall."
Sienna
wasn't used to Kuhn's expression like that. I don't want him to be
misunderstood thinking I rejected him.
"It's
not like that. I feel that it's unfair."
As
if he wanted to say something, he tilted her head.
"I
have nothing to tell you. So it's not fair for me to be the only one listening
to your story."
"Not......
Fair?"
He
muttered and laughed.
"Why
don't you have anything to tell me? There are many things I want to know about
you. Who is that woman who lives in your palace? I don't think she's a
maid."
"Emma?"
"I
have seen her at the Countess's side many times. Judging by the way she is
dressed, she doesn't look like the maid the Countess brought with her."
"Emma
is my guest staying in the Palace at my request. She is very good at making
tea. I believe you have also drunk the tea made by Emma several times."
"Ah.
There are days when the tea smells really good. Was she introduced to
you?"
"Yes.
She is a relative of the Countess."
Kuhn
continued asking lighthearted questions. These are questions that I don't need
to ponder deeply. What time do you wake up and sleep, what time do you eat,
what do you usually eat, and so on. Sienna could answer all of that without
hesitation.
As
the conversation grew longer, the two sat side by side under a big tree.
“……So,
Emma's wedding that was hosted by the Countess was postponed. It was postponed
because that family is related to the Duke Morton Family. They said, they
weren't in the mood to talk about the topic of marriage. You know that, right?
The son of Morton died."
"Aahhh......"
"I
heard the outline from the Countess."
It
is revealed that Levi was the one who spread the rumors about Joseph's
illegitimate child and that it was the background to the murders involving the
2 Duke Families.
"How
do you feel about that?"
"It
was very noisy."
"What
punishment will be given to Sir Luke?"
"Because
it was an accident. He can make amends quite lightly."
"After
all, there will be discord between the 2 Duke Families."
Sienna
didn't know if Levi Morton would also die in the future in her dreams. News of
that did not appear in her dreams. Perhaps Joseph will not be so severely
punished. Because in her dream, Joseph married someone and became a Count.
Sienna
who was thinking, suddenly, her chin is grabbed and he made her turn sideways.
"You
don't give me much time. Focus on me when you're with me."
His
expression was gentle, but his way of speaking was firm. I feel an irresistible
power. Sienna's head bobbed up and down on its own.
"Is
Levi your second fiancé?"
"Eung
(Yes)."
"Is
there a third?"
"If
there are?"
"Then
I have to get rid of him."
Sienna
winked. Is he kidding me? Is this a joke? If this isn't a joke, then there is a
lot of work to be done.
Seeing
the strange expression on his face, Sienna doubted her ears a bit. Did I hear
wrong? As she hesitated for a moment, Kuhn stood up and stretched out his hand.
Sienna
took his hand. With just a slight tug from him, her body jerked up.
"If
you delay any longer, the maids will come looking for you. You need to stick to
your schedule."
Kuhn
opened his pocket watch to check the time.
"Ah......"
The
time I spent practicing swordsmanship flew by without my noticing. Sienna was
slightly taken aback. Unknowingly time flew by as we chatted. And it's not the
conversation that matters. Those are things that don't really work.
"......I
haven't practiced at all."
"Isn't
it fine to do something like this sometimes?"
Kuhn
lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. It was a light kiss that just
pressed the lips together and let go.
"See
you in 2 days."
If
one saw the two of them, they would realize that their separation was very
natural.
Today
was our seventh meeting since that party. Sienna was used to the repeated
kisses every time we were apart.
The
possibility of being caught by someone was small, but that was something one
couldn't be sure of. I'm not afraid if other people see it. However, I was
worried that Mother would bully him.
"Kuhn.
If Mother calls you again, use me as an excuse, put on an act. You're good at
that, right?"
"What
act?"
"Act
as the victim. Tell her that I was the one bothering you, she will have a very
difficult time dealing with me."
He
stared at Sienna with a speechless expression and muttered inexplicable
admiration.
"You
want me to hide behind you? My life is wasted. Do I look so unreliable?"
"You
should know how to take care of yourself if it's necessary. There's no need to
be ashamed of that."
"Sienna.
I'm not the type to care about my face (image). But I don't want you to protect
me by standing in front of me."
Sienna
frowned.
"Why?"
"Hmm......
The pride of a man?"
"Useless."
"A
man could risk his life over an insignificant matter like this. While we are
discussing this, the diligent maids of the Silver Queen's Palace have already
come looking for you. Go."
With
no more time to argue and show logic, Sienna was forced to turn around.
'This
man, he didn't take my warning seriously at all.'
Sienna
made up her mind to protect him from her mother's clutches.
