Chapter 40

As Enya gazed at him along with her eyes huge open, Leroi stated it was actual and jumped up.

Like that, the 2 of them quarreled like brother and sister for a very long time, questioning if an individual might be quicker than a puma or not. In the long run, they lastly concluded that nobody knew about it and ended the argument.

“Nonetheless, I’ve by no means seen a lady with such lengthy hair. Why didn’t you narrow it? Isn’t it cumbersome?”

Leroi was interested in Enya’s waist-length hair. He stored taking a look at her hair and opening his mouth in admiration.

“You might have actually lengthy hair. Why don’t the boys of Nervana Forest reduce their hair?”

When Enya requested a query, he retorted, widening his eyes.

“Slicing their hair? It’s unattainable. The boys of Nervana Forest reduce their hair brief after they had been defeated in a battle. It’s actually a shame amongst disgraces.”

The subsequent second, a transparent whistling sound got here from past the blazing pyre of the pageant. At first, the noise, which she thought is perhaps the sound of an instrument, bought louder and louder, after which Leroi put his hand to his face and groaned.

“…D*mn. Yaru is drunk.”

Certainly, simply as he had stated, on the opposite aspect, Yaru was slowly shifting her steps someplace with a barrel filled with mead tucked in her aspect.

Seeing this, Leroi muttered as he regarded round her in bother.

“Yasmin, is she sleeping? Actually. How can she be a mom of a kid…”

Yaru, who stood on the fringe of the forest, quickly started to whistle along with her fingers in her mouth. Watching her, Lero put his hand on his head and jumped up from her seat, as he couldn’t stand it anymore.

“It’s beginning once more…”

For some time, Yaru whistled so near drunkenness that the folks round her frowned.

It wasn’t till Enya checked who was within the route Yaru was heading that she adopted Leroi to her toes. The place the place Yaru stumbled and reached was in entrance of Rigata, who was consuming alcohol whereas leaning in opposition to a tree.

“Honey. Are you able to put a child inside me right now?”

A drunken Yaru raised Rigata’s chin along with her fingertips, glanced up at him and uttered. Whereas Enya watched the scene and opened her mouth, Leroi coated his eyes with a heavy sigh.

“D*mn. Anyway, when she’s drunk, she would seize anybody and does that… that woman.”

Whether or not or not the environment had been astonished, Yaru began whispering to Rigata with a coquettish gesture.

“It’s a must to do it proper this time. Yasmin hadn’t had a youthful sibling. A dad’s position is essential, don’t you realize?”

Enya was shocked to listen to what Yaru needed to say.

She regarded wonderful to say such phrases casually. On the similar time, chilly sweat started to run down her backbone, not figuring out how Rigata would react.

Then again, Rigata’s response was certainly extra spectacular. He put down the bottle he was consuming and shot a pointy have a look at her.

“What would you like? I’ve no real interest in getting concerned with a drunk girl.”

At that second, Yaru’s physique was lifted up. A person appeared behind them and snatched her physique, which had slumped in opposition to Rigata’s physique, with one hand.

Enya acknowledged the person and regarded up at Leroi in astonishment. He shrugged his shoulders with a plain expression, exhibiting that they wanted to simply watch. It was a resolute perspective as if this hadn’t occurred a few times.

“…For this reason I at all times query whether or not Yasmin is my daughter, Yaru.”

Nihitan bared his fangs and spoke in a barely irritated voice to Yaru, who was sitting in his arms. In the meantime, Yaru, who was held in his arms, opened her mouth along with her half-closed eyes huge open.

“Nihitan…!”

Then, as swiftly as a monkey, she slipped from his arms and slipped into his neck.

“Why are you right here now…! I stored calling you from earlier!”

Enya was fairly shocked to see Yaru throw her little physique at Nihitan as if she was climbing the large physique like a tree. Nonetheless, the opposite folks of Nervana Forest checked out them nonchalantly, maybe discovering it pure.

Rigata additionally turned his head to them with a frown and introduced the bottle he was consuming again to his mouth.

“Is Yasmin sleeping?”

Nihitan murmured in a blunt voice like regular, accepting Yaru’s all-out flirtatiousness.

“In fact. She resembles you, and throughout the day, she’s so energetic like a new child doe she ran round with out having the ability to catch it.”

Nihitan held Yaru upright and pressed his lips to the again of her nostril earlier than he muttered nervously.

“…She resembles me? She doesn’t resemble Inaken?”

The subsequent second, Yaru smiled an odd smile as she lifted his chin with the guidelines of her fingers, bringing him into my eyes.

“What number of instances should I inform you to imagine it? You had been the one individual I slept with at the moment. Each then and thereafter.”

After that, Enya hurriedly regarded away, embarrassed to see the 2 of them even taking a look at one another. She nonetheless couldn’t imagine that their daughter was Yasmin.

‘No surprise… I believed Yasmin should have regarded like somebody…’

Enya felt goosebumps on her arm when she realized that that somebody was Nihitan. Yasmin’s hair, neatly combed and braided as a result of she had not undergone a coming-of-age ceremony, was lengthy and fluttered behind her again like her father’s every time she ran round earlier than going to sleep.

“Anyway, after giving start to Yasmin, Yaru has by no means laid eyes on one other man, and he or she solely does that when she is drunk.”

As quickly because the hustle was completed, Leroi grumbled, and he added an evidence for Enya, who was unfamiliar with the principles of Nervana Forest.

“For girls like Yaru, who selected to cool down with a single man, they would depart the tribe and wander round alone, residing individually for months. Utterly with simply two folks. It’s type of like a honeymoon. Then, they often come again after they have youngsters. Being pregnant and childbirth in a forest the place the cranium spiders run rampant are scary issues that solely the 2 folks can deal with.”

As he added, pointing to Nihitan, who was holding Yaru and strolling to the place the place Yasmin was mendacity.

“As a result of Yasmin was abruptly born with out the 2 of them having a honeymoon interval… no, nobody might have imagined that Yaru would cool down with one individual within the first place, actually.”

Then, he scratched his chin, saying that he didn’t even know concerning the relationship between women and men.

When Enya heard that, she contemplated in a daze.

‘Alone in a spot the place nobody is… months collectively…”

When she remembered these phrases, she tried to erase the face of an individual who got here to thoughts.

…If Tarhan and her had had their very own time like that, would they’ve had a toddler like Yasmin by now?

If Enya and Tarhan go on like that for days and months, with out experiencing the stress of being hit by the tribal individuals who hated her and Tarhan being recruited to hunt, with nobody noticing, no guidelines to observe, and no obligations to be liable for.

If solely they may look into one another’s eyes…

‘Nonetheless, I wouldn’t have had youngsters.’

She lowered her head, remembering with darkish eyes the analysis Previous Girl Piache had given her.

Her ideas break as Leroi invitations her to take a seat down once more. Enya sat again down and took a sip of the chilly water Leroi handed to her.

“That… concerning the deputy chieftain of Aquilea.”

Maybe Leroi had one thing to say, he glanced at Enya, his cheeks barely flushed.

“If you happen to’ve solely been residing with that man’s home for over a dozen years, he have to be a really proficient man in Aquilea, proper? Nicely, simply by wanting on the scar on the nape of his neck, I can guess to some extent…”

Enya instantly blushed at his phrases.

She had been occupied with it for some time, however why did the folks of Nervana Forest deal with her as girl, second solely to Tarhan… no, a lot better than that? Every time, it was a burden for her, who knew that her true situation was worse than that of Aquilea’s worm.

Nonetheless, Leroi didn’t finish his questions on Tarhan. He stored asking questions on him.

“When he first introduced you to the hut. So, that’s when… you handed your first blood.”

Hesitantly, he introduced up the phrase and instantly apologized in shock.

“Ah. You don’t have to inform me if you happen to’re uncomfortable. Sorry…”

She seen what he had in thoughts to ask such a query and blushed with him. She additionally vaguely understood why he was approaching her and bombarding her with these questions.

Enya requested, biting her lips arduous to include the laughter that leaked out.

“You, do you may have a woman you wish to spend the ‘season of spring’ with?”

Leroi, who was caught, coughed deliberately. However regardless of this, she couldn’t conceal even the redness on her neck, so Enya ended up guffawing.

Leroi appeared to have determined to ask her with a metal plate on his face, as he had already been caught.

As she regarded down at Leroi’s query, pretending to ponder it when he innocently requested if he gave her a bunch of black puma skins as a present, the way in which the Lehijin tribe did.

After some time, she picked up a twig on the ground and drew a line as if scribbling.

“…Tarhan constructed me a home.”

When she considered that, a proud smile naturally leaked from her lips. Nonetheless, Leroi’s response to her was not what she anticipated.

He set free a pant and caught out his tongue.

“What…! I imply, you fell for that!”

Enya regarded puzzled as Leroi stared at her in disbelief. Realizing the rationale, she then shortly jumped up and waved her hand.

“N, no. It’s not the type of home you assume it’s! Not a easy home tangled with just a few tree branches… however a extra correct one…”

For the folks of the Nervana Forest, who lead a nomadic life within the huge forest, periodically altering their dwellings in accordance with the movement of the wet or dry season, they might not perceive it. Nevertheless, within the plains of Aquilea, the worth of a home was huge for a tribe that settled down in a single place, cultivated a subject, and lived collectively as a neighborhood.

Enya responded pointedly to Leroi.

“Tarhan had labored so arduous to construct that home for a very long time…! For nearly dozens of months… he gathered mud, weaved it with straw, kneaded it, molded it into bricks one after the other, baked it in a kiln, dried it within the solar, utilized glaze one after the other, and baked it once more…”

She tried tenaciously to elucidate the worth of the home, utilizing her arms and toes.
