Incompatible Interspecies Wives

Chapter 84: An Unresolved Curiosity (6)

Ner sat at the table as time passed.

Arwin sat next to her, and Berg sat across from her.

They couldn't avoid discussing the events of yesterday.

"..."

Even after sitting down, Berg didn't open his mouth for quite a while.

And with each stretch of silence, Ner's mind was filled with countless questions.

She was completely in the dark about everything.

Ner recalled that wild look Berg had shown yesterday.

He, who had been holding her, suddenly dismounted his horse and approached to kill all the paladins.

If Adam, the captain, had not stopped him, a fight would surely have ensued.

That image kept nagging at her mind.

Lately, while with Berg, Ner found it impossible to control her emotions and reason.

If it had been like before, she would have surely feared such a demeanor from Berg.

She would have been scared, remembering that he was not Berg, but a human mercenary.

Had she not even found out that he was from the slums?

If she didn't know the person that Berg was, she would have tried to distance herself from someone she shouldn't be entangled with...

But now, it seemed her emotions were controlling her.

Worry took precedence over the fear of Berg.

She was afraid in case he was seriously hurt.

His past became increasingly curious.

She wondered why he was so troubled.

She didn't know how to accept this change.

For now, all her attention was focused on Berg.

"...Haa."

But after a long pause, Berg spoke.

"...I know you both want to know about what happened yesterday."

While saying that Berg wore a bitter expression she had never seen before.

A strange expression from him, who always wore a smile.

"...But please wait a little longer. I'm not ready to talk about it yet."

"..."

"When the time comes, I'll bring it up first."

Was the disappointment in Berg's words just now also part of that change?

It was hard to overcome her curiosity about him.

Race and status being so different, it was difficult to predict him.

She knew it was rude to ask something he didn't want to talk about.

She knew it better than anyone.

From the start, a couple should trust each other and not ask unnecessary questions...

But lately, her mouth had been increasingly itchy.

Berg was her first friend, and she wanted to know everything about him.

It was the same now.

Why would he hide something from her?

Even after holding her like that yesterday.

"...Understood."

But in the end, Ner had no choice but to accept his words.

Not probing the other was a kind of consideration on her part...
