Chapter 426
426 The paranoid elf
*Sigh* “Jun Ye Rim. Tell me. Are we looking at you with a lustful or hateful gaze?” Vincent asked.
Jun Ye Rim looked at everyone attentively. Although there was a frown on their faces because of her words, their gazes differed from the others.
Nevertheless, Jun Ye Rim was skeptical about the authenticity of their behavior. Jun Ye Rim believed this might have been a plan to let Vincent bed her.
“No! I won’t let you bed me! I have nothing to give, so don’t touch me.” Jun Ye Rim got up and took a step back. She looked agitated, as if she was about to be assaulted.
“You will get nothing but a cold corpse and a handful of silvers out of me!” Jun Ye Rim’s back touched the door. She opened the door and continued, “I was kicked out of my house and kingdom with one small bag of silvers coins and a bag of clothes. There are not enough clothes for your women.”
“...”
No one could respond to what Jun Ye Rim said. She suffered a lot and lost too much. Now, she has nothing in her possession other than herself, a little money, and a handful of clothes. She was as poor as a commoner living in the low-class district or worse.
Vincent stopped trying to persuade Jun Ye Rim because he now could understand her story. Ester, Iris, and Lilith felt pity after recalling parts of their harsh past, while Lupa glared at Jun Ye Rim to defend her mate.
Vincent was brought to this world with nothing in his name other than the objects in his clothes. He didn’t even have his wallet to use the coins as an exchange. Besides his clothes, watch, and smartphone, Vincent had nothing in a strange and unfamiliar place.
.....
Similarly, Jun Ye Rim is also in an unfamiliar place. It became apparent how she had to join a human academy since she was kicked with little money.
Jun Ye Rim was forced to leave her kingdom. Because she is a noble lady, Jun Ye Rim had to learn noble etiquette and how to become a good bride.
Thus, Jun Ye Rim had the escape the glares and hate of the elves without any knowledge of how to make money.
In the end, because becoming an adventurer had its drawbacks, and her safety wasn’t reassured, Jun Ye Rim had no other choice but to seek refuge in the human lands and join a human academy.
As the academy curriculum’s duration is six months, Jun Ye Rim can at least survive two and a half years out of the five years with the least risks she hoped.
[So, to summarise, Jun Ye Rim has barely any money or supplies for when the academic year ends for her. I think she might not have enough money to survive unless she works somewhere, but what is she good at?]
[Hmm, based on her personality, I guess a librarian since a waitress is out of the picture with her hard-headed personality. I bet if a drunk man slaps her bum, she might end her life.]
-We could let her live with us. The mansion has become like a small community with all the people living there.-
[Yeah, we could ask Jun Ye Rim to live with us for free. We have collected so many people already. Adding one more person isn’t difficult, and having three elves will start to even the ratio between humans and non-humans.]
-I hope she won’t mind helping out if we find the right occasion to invite her.-
[Worry not, Vincent. I am also known as the spirit of love. Hehe. This Cupid Kazumi will work her magic and maybe make Jun Ye Rim fall for you. If not, she can work as a maid or teach the kids how to read.]
-...-
*Sigh* Vincent shook his head as Kazumi was going to do an unnecessary thing again for her amusement. Vincent saw Jun Ye Rim staring at him as if he was about to assault her.
*Sigh* Vincent sighed again and turned around.
“Teammate Jun Ye Rim, I understand your background better now. Exiled or not. Single elf or not. Worry not, as you are on our team. You are like a distant family member to us. In other words, keep living your six months in the academy with peace of mind. ” Vincent said before moving his gaze away from Jun Ye Rim.
“I have training to do, revenge to take, and a reputation to keep. ” Vincent said while walking away. He headed to the garden to practice using Soul Dimensional Storage better near Zero.
Vincent left. Iris and Plow followed him. On the other hand, Ester, Lupa, and Lilith remained.
Lupa shapeshifted into her wolf girl form and pointed her finger at Jun Ye Rim. “My mate doesn’t need you, pointy-eared human! Humph!” She said before Ester threw Lupa’s maid outfit on her head.
“Jun Ye Rim, don’t worry about what Lupa said. But I must say. After repeatedly telling you, “We will not hurt you,” you still don’t believe us and let your wild imaginations about my husband run rampant. ” Ester was slightly angry at the hard-headed Jun Ye Rim.
Ester saw Jun Ye Rim avert her eyes. Ester crossed her arms and continued, “Not all men want to bed you, and not all women despise you for attracting their men’s attention. As for us, we are currently pissed because we don’t even want to try speaking about the same subject as us. All you say is don’t bed me. Don’t touch me. ”
*Cough* “Ester, let’s not hurt Jun Ye Rim’s feelings.” Lilith started to believe Ester, who is the most levelheaded out of them, was about to cause trouble.
Lilith noticed Lupa’s tail wagging excitedly while swiftly wearing her maid outfit. Lilith worried Lupa wanted to join the commotion and make the situation worse.
Lilith judged it was best to calm the Ester down before the situation escalated.
Best
Lilith went in front of Ester and said, “Ester, how about we let Jun Ye Rim stay alone while respecting her...”
“I don’t need your pity, human. I can manage by myself.” Jun Ye Rim interrupted Lilith. She entered the mansion and slammed the door closed.
All Ester, Lupa, and Lilith could think of was how rude Jun Ye Rim was.
Later, the end of the day arrived as the darkness of the night began to shroud their view.
Vincent was heading to the mansion when a presence looking at him from behind was discovered by his senses. He swiftly turned around, but Iris, with Plow in her arms and Zero rooted to the ground, twitching from excitement after being fed, was all he could see.
‘I guess it is nothing...’ Vincent pondered. He hoped it wasn’t Zero as it mutated after every feeding session. Its size grew, and its vines looked more glittery under the sunlight. As if it was slowly becoming an emerald living sculpture-like Wolfie and Freerie.
*Day 104 – 21 September – Sunday*
On Sunday morning, Vincent was surprised to see Ganni, Phil, James, and Hop waiting beside Eliara and Fliara. Vincent jumped down and told Sofy to go without him.
Vincent noticed how all the four soldiers had a green lion’s head insignia on their armor. Watching three ordinary rank soldiers and one vice-captain with his family’s mark made him feel more secure. Furthermore, their loyalty level remained the same. It was a great system to discover anyone he trusted plotting against him.
Phil’s sister, Grace, was feeling better. She also wanted to talk to Vincent, as Maid Xu wrote in the letter.
James’s wife is feeling slightly nauseous, but other than that, she is fine. After informing Vincent about the news, they left with a smile.
Hop’s wife’s ankle was almost completely healed, and her arm was in better shape than before.
After telling Vincent the great news about their family members, the three gratefully thanked Vincent for all he had done for them. Later, they left while proudly walking with the Lionheart family insignia on their armor.
On the other hand, Ganni respectfully bowed when it was his turn to speak. Then he explained how his wife decided to work as a maid to compensate for the two rooms they were using.
Vincent wanted to say how there was no need to feel pressured. Helping would be great, but it wasn’t mandatory. Yet, at the same time, not being allowed to set roots will cause them to fear for their future.
After Vincent offered so much assistance, refusing to allow Ganni and his wife Marika to show appreciation will make them think their stay was temporary until Vincent changed his mind. Both would fear getting kicked out of the mansion at any moment.
“A helping hand is always appreciated, but don’t push yourselves too much. ” Vincent told Ganni. Then he looked at Eliara and Fliara. “How has the week been for you two? ”
“I felt it was safer this week. Also, I was able to spend more time meditating as teacher Maria instructed us last week.” Eliara answered.
“Today, we are in the morning shift. Maybe teacher Maria will check our form in the evening.” Fliara looked impatient for the evening to arrive.
Vincent was glad the sponsorship of soldiers was working. It deterred people with bad intentions or certain families from plotting against them.
Vincent and Ganni walked inside. Surprisingly, the garden looked well kept, as if there was a gardener working on their property. However, the question was soon answered after walking halfway to the mansion’s entrance door.
Iris, Olive, and Lian were together and moving their hands as if they were throwing something tiny. Iris planted the seeded every Sunday, and the two demigoblin kids took care of what sprouted.
*Sigh* “Jun Ye Rim. Tell me. Are we looking at you with a lustful or hateful gaze?” Vincent asked.
Jun Ye Rim looked at everyone attentively. Although there was a frown on their faces because of her words, their gazes differed from the others.
