Incompatible Interspecies Wives

Chapter 177: An Approaching Crisis (1)

What happened after we became intimate felt somewhat natural.

Sien and I began discussing marriage.

For us, who had grown so close, there seemed to be no other path.

It was so natural that even though we hadn't mentioned it, the villagers seemed to anticipate our wedding.

Whenever I passed by the villagers, they would tease me.

"Captain, when's the wedding? My son wants to sing a song for you."

"Captain, it suits you well. Getting together with a childhood friend... it's so romantic."

Our closeness, especially since that night, likely played a part in their assumptions.

Even outside, we didn't hesitate to kiss.

Sometimes, I heard disappointed sighs.

They were from the villagers who had grown close to Ner and Arwin.

They congratulated us, but seemed unable to shake off memories of them.

Just like me.

I couldn't shake the feeling that there was a wall standing in front of me.

I hesitated with each step forward.

Though it was natural for us to part ways and walk our own paths, I kept thinking of them.

That psychological barrier might be the only thing preventing my marriage with Sien.

"...Ha."

But whenever I thought that, I took a deep breath and tried to shake off the thoughts.

I knew it was my duty to take the next step.

Having established a new family, it wasn't feasible for me to remain single forever.

...And in that sense, there might be no one better suited for me than Sien.

I was still chasing after Adam Hyung's dream.

Though I wasn't sure if I was making progress, I had the duty to elevate the reputation of our race.

Who could be more fitting as my partner than the former Saintess?

Of course, I was aware of the criticisms that followed when the Saintess of Purity stepped down... but she was still a hero of our race.

That fact hadn't changed.

Moreover, she was someone I had given my heart to.

As we grew closer, reasons seemed to matter less and less.

Once we crossed that line, there was no hesitation.

We mixed our bodies every night, and every night, we craved each other.

It was certainly improper to be so intimate before marriage, but I could no longer resist my feelings for her.

The pleasure of exchanging love was hard to resist.

During our intimate moments, Sien mostly smiled, often looked at me with lustful eyes, and sometimes even shed tears of joy.

As the days passed, she continued to support me.

Although the war had ended, I was getting busier.

Internally, there were many documents to handle.

Resource management needed attention.

With many of our race migrating to Stockpin, security was a concern.

There was endless land to cultivate.
