“Talrk, I will come back today as well.”

The woman said as she got on the short horse. A young man named Talrk furrowed his brows at the words of the youngest warrior.

“Are we going to the wall again? Then you could die.”

“I hear this every time, but it comes back every time, right?”

As she spoke, jumping onto the saddle, Talrk shook his head as if he could not stop her.

“So are you sure that he welcomes you?”

“Last time we met, he was shooting a bow.”

“Did you even put flowers there?”

“Well, if poison was applied, it would have been applied, but I don’t think there would be any flowers. Especially here.”

Wow, she took the reins and steered the horse.

“How many years has it been?”

“We’ve already spent four winters since we first met. Time flies so fast.”

The great warrior smiled as coolly as the winter wind and ran toward the wall.

“Take care of yourselves. They said there are a lot of people flocking to the fortress wall.”

Talrk cautioned the tomboy warrior who was walking away.

No one would know whether that concern would have reached her.

There was still a smile on the mouth of the great warrior on horseback.

As the giant wall got closer, the smile grew deeper. I couldn’t hide my laughter.

After their first meeting, she went towards the wall to sort out her confused thoughts.

What came back was the insulting language of the people inside the wall, but after a few hours of sit-in, I was able to see the small work.

Even from a distance, the chestnut-colored hair and kind eyes were clearly visible.

After seeing the duke’s face, she was satisfied and returned to the tribe.

Since then, my thoughts about small work have deepened.

The Duke’s face came to mind when I was hunting, eating, and even sleeping.

When he happened to appear in my dreams, there were times when I hugged him tightly.

Of course, when he woke up, he found a hard greatsword in his arms.

When her thoughts about him grew and she couldn’t control herself, she drove her short horse towards the wall.

Third, fourth and fifth… tenth, twentieth…

The number of trips to the wall gradually increased.

The people inside the wall must have gotten used to it, so they only made meaningless threats and didn’t swear like they used to.

“This is how we become closer and closer.”

She knew well that the lives and cultures of the people inside the Wall and the children of the land were different.

She was taking the time to make herself familiar to him, like taming an animal.

Of course, she was the only one who thought the attempt was working.

***

As the barrier approached, she blew her horn.

Buu – A loud sound rang out, and the soldiers standing guard on the wall reflexively raised their bows.

Buu- She blew her horn once again, and they lowered their bows and looked at her.

Someone even seemed leisurely waving at her.

The great warrior of the tribe rode his horse slowly and waited for the small duke to come out.

As he blew his horn and walked around in front of the wall, a man with brown hair came out to meet him.

Although there was no conversation, no interaction whatsoever,

Every time she laid eyes on him, the moment felt new and her heart raced.

After a few minutes of waiting, the humans on the wall begin to turn and say hello.

‘Ah, you’re here.’

The Great Master smiled broadly and waved his hand.

She waved her hand vigorously so that he could immediately see her as he climbed up the barrier.

Soon, a man with brown hair appeared.

Perhaps because he was taller, I could see his face better than last time.

She pressed her hand against her pounding heart and continued to wave her hand.

The hand stopped when the man turned and extended his hand to someone.

“Those are the barbarians. This is my first time seeing it in person.”

A woman wearing clothes that were different from the people on the wall appeared.

And that too while holding the Duke’s hand.

The great warrior’s eyes narrowed.

“Isabella. They call themselves people outside the walls, children of the earth.”

I heard the Duke’s voice, which I had not heard since our first meeting.

“Hmm… The clothes look rough and undignified. It looks like they don’t wash it well.”

The woman named Isabella squinted and spread her fan to cover under her nose.

“Isn’t it about living according to your lifestyle?”

As the Little Duke laughed, Isabella nodded with a disapproving look.

“At first, I thought it was a place where there was only cold and snow… Could it be because the Little Duke was with me? The northern scenery looks beautiful.”

With a smile as wide as the moon, Isabella leaned lightly on the Duke’s shoulder.

The Little Duke’s ears turned red as he smiled sheepishly.

Daejeon was not happy with this whole situation.

And when I came to my senses, I had already pulled the bowstring.

“Huh? uh? Why is that barbarian like that?”

As soon as the quick-witted soldier finished shouting, an arrow was fired.

– Wedge

The arrow flew as the wind blew out. The target was Isabella next to the Duke.

Empty!

The thick-boned soldier held out his shield and blocked the arrow.

“Everyone, protect the Little Duke and Lady Neiren!”

As the white leader shouted and the soldiers moved in unison to create a shield wall, the Duke of Little’s appearance disappeared.

Eventually, what came back to Daejeonsa was a barrage of arrows.

Even as she instinctively rode away, she kept shaking her head as if she couldn’t believe it.

why?

Aren’t we close friends?

Why are you looking at me like that?

why?

why?

What on earth was that woman next to her?

why…!

why…!

***

“The Great Warrior is injured!”

“What kind of big deal is that? Didn’t you get hurt while grabbing a saber-toothed tiger?”

“No! He said he was hit by an arrow. It’s the bastards inside the wall!”

“What? Are you cowards living within the walls and then messing with the child of the earth?”

“It’s war!”

“Yes! War! Never war! War again!”
