Incompatible Interspecies Wives

Chapter 60: Rule (2)

I instructed Burns, the new recruit of our Head Hunter Unit, to send a message to Hyung that we were following him.

It was anticipated that catching them wouldn't be too difficult if we followed their trail.

And if the news got through, Adam Hyung would have set up camp much earlier.

Our job was simply to catch up to that point.

"Vice-captain, it's this way," said Shawn, who was leading the way.

We were also following Adam Hyung's traces.

Hyung seemed to be taking a different route back than the one he took to get here.

When we were coming here, he had dashed through various families' territories, but now, it looked like he was choosing a safe route to avoid unnecessary conflict on his way back.

Whether it was because Ner and Arwin were absent, or the urgency to secure the territory of Celebrien was no longer there, was unclear.

I just simply followed his trail.

I glanced at Ner, who was galloping on her horse behind me on my left side.

She gazed back at me as well.

"Why...? Are you hurt?" she asked, perking up her ears and focusing her attention on me.

"No," I shook my head, and then looked at Arwin, who was behind me on my right side.

"..."

She was busy exploring the world.

Her once sharp eyes were now observing everything around her like an innocent girl.

I could feel that her desire to see the world wasn't mere words, judging by her curious actions.

After all, if I had spent 170 years in the same place, I would probably act the same way.

"..."

"...Ah."

Arwin, belatedly realizing my gaze, found me.

Her eyes met mine, then focused on my body, and finally returned to the ground.

Observing her various reactions, I turned my gaze away.

Thinking about it, it seemed there were a few matters that needed sorting out as we would be living together going forward.

Until now, Ner had been my only wife, so there was no need for separate rooms. But now that I had two wives, it seemed each would need her own room.

Even if both had joined me as wives in accordance with my culture, I would need to show some level of consideration.

If boundaries weren't established, it would make both of them uncomfortable.

From their point of view, sharing the same bed would be unimaginable.

It would feel awkward for me as well.

...Well, these were matters to discuss and sort out with my wives later on.

We rode for quite some time at a moderate speed.

There was no rush, and accelerating recklessly could lead to injuries.

Not just for me, but the worrisome glances thrown from those around me were far from light.

Ner kept eyeing me cautiously, making me chuckle now and then.

"Vice-captain, so what happened?" Baran asked.
