The Knight of All People Complete
20. Witch's Castle
20. The Witch's Castle
Thump thump thump - ))
It had been 30 minutes since they left Jungkook's house and started walking. The streets all around were completely unfamiliar, and Taehyung and Yeoju were just continuing to walk forward without knowing the reason or the way.
이여주
... Is this the right way to go?
김태형
Yes, that is correct. However, for some reason, it feels like we are going in circles.
김태형
Are you tired? Shall we take a short break?
이여주
... Let's rest a little. I'm not a soldier, so my stamina isn't that great.
김태형
Yes, then... um...
Taehyung looked around, found a tree with neat bark that wasn't sticking out much and was good to lean on, spread his coat in front of it, and told Yeoju to sit down.
김태형
Looking at the female lead - )) ... Please sit here.
이여주
Looking at Taehyung - )) And you...? Where are you going to sit.
김태형
You can sit on the floor. Please sit here.
Yeoju stared at Taehyung for a moment, then sat on only half of his jacket. She then patted the remaining half and told him to sit down.
김태형
Flustered - )) ...? Yes?... Ah, no.
이여주
Looking at Taehyung - )) ... Sit down. It is an order as the Queen.
김태형
Letting out a deep sigh - )) Haa... Yes. I will sit down.
•••
As she sat there, she realized the sun was already high in the sky. Yeoju looked to the side to get up, but saw that Taehyung had his eyes closed. Thinking he was asleep, Yeoju settled back into her seat.
김태형
Slightly opening my eyes - )) Haha... Have you finished resting now?
이여주
Surprised - )) What? You weren't sleeping...?
김태형
Yes, it was just too bright... so I closed my eyes for a moment. Let's get up.
이여주
... Uh-huh... let's go.
Rustle rustle - ))
이여주
...?
김태형
Hiding the female lead behind me - )) Just a moment, I'll go check.
Rustle rustle - ))
Pwaat _ !
필요한 인물//??
Huh...? I haven't seen you before?
김태형
... Who are you? Who are you to suddenly show up?
필요한 인물//??
Ah, warm sunlight... please give me an answer...
필요한 인물//??
Phew - )) ... Ahaha...! So you guys are the ones sent by Guk?
필요한 인물//??
Phew - )) Nice to meet you.
나르샤
I'm Narsha. I'm the owner of the tavern that appears if you go straight ahead.
이여주
Ah? So you are 'Narsha'. I am Queen Lee Yeo-ju of the Adir Empire.
나르샤
Hmm, I know. I know... My answer is 'rejection'.
나르샤
I have nothing to tell you. If you want to hear my answer 'yes'... pay the price.
나르샤
... I'm looking for a mysterious magical herb....
나르샤
*Swoosh* - )) It is a pretty herb, just like you. It is a blue herb with a greenish tint and various grasses intertwined.
Narsha stroked Yeoju's face, brushed her hair back, and met her eyes. One of Narsha's pupils was white, while the other was an inverted black. Her aura was as if she had a bluish tint on the outside, yet nothing could be known about her inside.
나르샤
*Smile* - )) Could you... find it for me?...
김태형
... Yes, I will find it for you. Then, will you answer any questions, no matter how many?
나르샤
Looking at Taehyung - )) Hmm... yes. Alright, this Narsha always keeps her promises.
이여주
...Haa... Yes. I'll get it for you. Do you know where the medicinal herb grows? Please let me know. I will go get it for you.
나르샤
Na, Shan, Tu... Empire, it grows only there. It is a medicinal herb with a long history.
나르샤
The name of the herb is 'Maejuruton Herb'.
나르샤
Please make sure to get it for me by the next, the next, the day after... by the time the sun sets after lunch.
나르샤
If you miss the deadline, you absolutely... absolutely... absolutely... cannot return alive.
나르샤
Well then, I wish you good luck.
