Barbaric Spouse, Descry the Night's Lure-Chapter 115: Scene CXV

Ewelina’s eyes quickly found a reason for his scowl. For her sights drifted, to lay on the man walking behind her Husband who met her gaze unlike the wedded yet incited the energetic greeting of another one walking alongside.

"Oi~! Ewelina! So this is the tent you live under, huh? It has more stones than I thought from below." — Vinka said, waving her arm and allowing the sight of another savage behind them. However, demure, Ewelina softly smiled as a greeting, to finally meet the fierce gaze of her spouse that diminished his irritation at her sight.

"... Good day, husband." — The wife told the man that came to stand before her. Summoning his smirk with the following sentence. — "Your morning must have been busy, as it is only now that I greet you."

"Ai... Yet you did say farewell." — Malicious he retorted. Aware that she did not remember a graze he one-sidedly extracted from a sleeping wife.

"... I see you have brought people from Kleifar with you. I recognise Vinka and Yngve... Nonetheless... Young man, may I ask what is your name?"

"Auflulk."

"This one’s my brother, Veneer Female."

"A returnee. Trur said we had to take these three with us." — Scowling at the answer of the hated savage, Aslak added, annoyed once again by their presence.

"I see... Auflulk, it is a pleasure to meet you. You have returned from a difficult journey, it is deserving of praise."

"... Blessed thee Earth."

"As Earth is us to become."

"... Your mounts are over there. Get your stuff ready so we can leave."

"Ai. Come Yngve." — Looking where Aslak had pointed after a pause to his wife’s politeness, Vinka took Yngve along before nodding goodbye to Ewelina.

Their goodbye was returned by the gentlewoman and following it, another order was given. Although meant for the warden standing by the Archduchess’s side to heed.

"Uth. We’ll need another beast for the extra savage we got."

"Immediately, my Lord."

Uth’s steps were traced by the Lords’ eyes in silence... which broke at a child’s sound who had hidden behind a woman’s skirt, never losing hold of her hand.

"... Did those from below leave?"

"... They’re over there. Nu. Don’t hide behind my wife."

"Why did you hide, Nu?" — Ignoring the rough way of her husband to address the child, Ewelina asked, bending down to look at a pouting expression. — "You should greet those who come to stand before you."

"... Nu, doesn’t like those from below..."

"... She’s afraid of them. And yet her race is further into Sortnafeigr."

"!! Nu is not afraid! Master is mean!"

"ah..." — Concerned by how the child ran away so suddenly and visibly upset, Ewelina then raised to look at her spouse, already reprimanding him with a severe gaze. — "Husband."

"... Nu shouldn’t be here." — Aslak started wishing to explain as his eyes looked at how the child now hid behind a horse. Cautious as she watched his fellow savages from a safe distance. — "At one of my travels into Sortnafeigr, I happened to kill a man part of some inner tribe who had kept her as a pet. I took her back and the kid hasn’t tried going down the crag ever since. Her people are further inside... at the deepest of this treacherous nook everyone in that guy’s Kingdom fear... But then she’s afraid of what she shouldn’t."

"Oh... I did not know... So Nu is a lost child..."

"... Are you sad?"

"... Yes... Nonetheless, that does not explain your mean ways, husband. Why talk to her like that?"

"... I said her race is further into Sortnafeigr. You know the name of her race but not their power? ... It’s not Nu who should be afraid here, wife." — Severe, Aslak finally told Ewelina, letting her understand that the child was a danger he could not go easy with.

"... However... She admires you. Can husband speak softer to an innocent child?"

"... I don’t want to. She takes advantage and tries following me around when I do." — Frowning at his wife’s request, Aslak told her. Exposing that he had done so before only to find trouble. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Aware, Ewelina giggled softly. Glad to learn her husband could be nice to a child.

"Alright. I understand... Is there anything left? When do we depart?"

"Now. But... Come here for a moment." — Taking her hand to walk her into the Castle, Aslak looked around aware of the many eyes. Moving her to lean on the inside wall where no one roamed. — "Fatædi. Kiss me."

"! My... So suddenly?" — Willing to grant it, Ewelina said as her hands grasped the shirt under his cloak with loving strokes.

"No... As you said, it’s only now we greet each other." — Smiling at the sight of her only dimple, Aslak leaned to groom her nose. Grazing her lips briefly. Saying a last sentence before deciding to enjoy her taste thoroughly. — "I want some private affection, Fatædi."

"Mhm~..."

Already prepared for his caress, the lips of the woman welcomed his smooth intrusion. To tangle without preoccupation about being seen for his frame covered her easily, and for once...

’I also want it...’ — Dazed by the tenderness of his heat and slippery feel, Ewelina puffed with such thought in mind while her hand moved to touch more of his tough torso and gain the warmth Aslak effortlessly emitted. — ’nh... My love... I can even forget manners...’

"mh... Fatædi...*smooch* Maybe another week..."

"!? Goodness, hahaha~" — Delighted by his obvious jest, Ewelina laughed widely at a man that also chuckled at his own sayings. Coming forward to kiss him one last time. — "Husband, we cannot...*peck* Yet it does sound tempting."

"Grrmm. Yeah... Too tempting." — Nuzzling her ear, Aslak grinned at her response. Becoming happier at the soft giggles she allowed to fall on his neck, while his hands caressed her back following her curves. — "Sigh... Alright, now we can leave."

Straightening slightly, the man came back to kiss her rosy lips, bite them as he separated to ultimately dive his fingers on her fur and inhale its scent unrestrained for a last time as his face dug itself in its fluff out of pure reluctance to lose the softness even for a short moment.

"Ewelina. During our travel, do not ever leave my side... Also... You are to ride Litilmenni with me this time."

"... I am not riding with Nu?"

"You belong with your spouse. Nu can follow behind."

"... I understand..."

".Let’s go, Fatædi." — Intertwining his fingers with hers in the clasp of her hand, Aslak announced. — "The joke is starting to feel like a good idea."

"hahaha... It is not, selfish man~"

Letting another playful mumble reach her so the lovely blush of her cheeks was joined by her laugh, Aslak felt pleasant. For it was this sight that purified most of the air he inhaled.
