Way of Overlord-Chapter 456: Tears Being Hold Back

"You’re here" hearing this words, it seems she has been waiting for him

"Have you been waiting?"

"From morning to night"

Aeryon eyes narrows and he sat down cross legged in front of Ayera. His eyes looks straight at Ayera

’Are you angry at me right now?"

She shook her head

"Dissatisfied then?"

She shook her head

"What then?"

"Complicated" she answers.

"I know what we are. And I know what you are. I understand why you have to do all those things. Still...I don’t like it"

Aeryon listens to this nodded. He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath and then opening back his eyes, he look back at Ayera eyes straight.

"Then I would not do it again" hearing this, Ayera could not help but feel a weird feeling in her heart.

But she did not notice it at this time. Because there is something very important that needs to be discussed today

Aeryon did not linger in this matter. Instead, he asked her

"How is it? Is there any development on that matter?" But Ayera look at him weirdly. Aeryon does not understand what Ayera gaze is meant to convey.

"You really do not know?"

This time it was Aeryon turn to look at Ayera with weird gaze

"what do you mean?"

What is it that he doesn’t know?’

Ayera was about to say something but she seems to be holding her words. She looks at him, and then she sighed and nodded like she understood something.

"It’s nothing" Aeryon did not know much about woman but from what he heard, when a woman said it is nothing, there is always something.

She seems to have made her judgment on something. Aeryon might not know much about her but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know anything about her.

"It’s getting worse. My father...really needs your help this time" Ayera then began telling all of that happen and fill all that he should know

By the end of it, Aeryon sighed

"Who would have thought? Who would have thought?"

He repeated these words and his sigh echoes in the room.

....

Ayera the Daughter of Garron.

This is a woman that have her own fire.

Aeryon meeting with this woman started with a duel

And even after they got married, these duels does not stop. Only this time it is a battle of wit, battle of minds.

And living alongside her, he knows her as an intelligent woman and full of resilience.

This probably has something to do with her background.

There is many women that could fight in the Steppe.

But there is not a lot of them that could use their brain.

In this era, it is still very hard to be educated even more so in the Steppe where there is no academy or learning institute to learn some of the knowledge of the world.

Sometimes, Ayera would tell him about her life story where she mentioned she travel to Yindu in a very young age.

From this, Aeryon could tell she has seen the world and those who has seen the world, would learn something from this.

She would experience things other would not experience and from what he head, she travel alone at that time

One could only imagine the hardship

The fact she survives till this age, means she survives all of those hardship and become stronger because of it

And clearly she have learned something and because of that, there is a certain kind of maturity when she handles certain things.

Now, she is married to him, the rising warlord of the South, left her father domain and built a life in a new land. Most women who experience thing as she did, would be obedient but this woman is destined to be rebellious. Because even though they are married, they could not unify the hearts and the minds.

As for the hearts, Aeryon and Ayera could not open up to each other. As for the minds, they both have their own schemes and plots.

And the reason for this is because they did not yet sleep together. Ayera wanted to sleep teeth with Aeryon so that she could consummate the wedding.

Only then she could feel secure of her position as the wife of the Kan. But until now, Aeryon is still not sleeping with her.

To her, this is a rejection of her and her duty

As for Aeryon, he felt that this woman has too many secrets and even when they are together, her words are all right, all is pleasing to the ears

She made herself harmless, she knows how to act in public and regardless of what is happening in their bedroom, she always manage to show a perfect image of the wife of the Kan in public

The more it is like this, the warier he becomes.

Not to mention, he knows that she is here more than just to be the bridge between him and garron but also to spy on him and feedback the information to Garron

He knows this. So, how could these two people unify their hearts and minds together when they do not even bother looking at the same direction?

Of course, they could not. And because of that they could not trust each other and because of that, they are careful with each other.

It is almost a year, and her belly is still flat. They sleep together but do not consummate the wedding.

The more it is like this, the more shaky Ayera position in the tribe and there is already more insistence form the Elders and the Ashana for him to take another wife

Aeryon did not do it because there is certain repulsion in him but maybe it is better to not do it.

The child would become a shackle to Aeryon.

Especially if Ayera is still on the opposite side.

Ayera wanted a child to win the love and shackle Aeryon.

But Aeryon also knows, people are not a block of rock.

If he has a child with Ayera, is it only him that have shackle?

Knowing Ayera, he knows she is not a heartless person.

A determined one, true, but not a heartless person.

Could she just think of her father?

If she has a child, she also has to think about what position her child would get

Would it be more beneficial for her child to be the descendant of the Brolgadhr tribe and inherit the strong Brolgadhr tribe or is it more beneficial for her child to be the heir of the Utgard tribe?

On one side, if she birthed a son, that son would surely be the heir of this tribe barring any other unforeseen circumstances. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

But if she wanted her son to become the heir of the Utgard tribe, that son of hers need to compete with his uncles and his uncles sons.

A mother usually would always plan for their child. That child.....would also be a shackle for her.

A burden she could not let go.

If she has a child, even her father would wary trusting everything about what report she sends to the tribe.

One is from the Utgard tribe and another from the Brolgadhr tribe.

If Utgard tribe does not have any ambition, this marriage is a match made in heaven.

For someone like Aeryon, he needs someone like Ayera.

And Ayera need someone like Aeryon that could tolerate her rebelliousness.

Right now, that woman has an expression that Aeryon had never seen before. There is grief. There is anger.

And there is helplessness.

Not only in her expression but in her tone

At times, she is angry. At times, she is almost sobbing. And there is this sense of her not knowing what to do right now

But she seems to be good at hiding it.

Aeryon could understand some of that feeling.

Because what happened to her, also happens to him. Though, he was not betrayed. But he understand losing something all at once.

And so, he could sympathize a bit with what she is going through.

And what is the news that Aeryon got?

Garron is being attacked by his son. It is worse than that. Ogura, the Son of Garron manage to stage a rebellion.

And right now, Ayera is hoping that he could help her father. Her father had also send messengers to him to ask for his aid.

Aeryon sighed.

"Will you help me or not?" this time Ayera question seems to be firm. Aeryon felt a bit weird with some of the things that Ayera said but he could not really figure out why he feels this way

Aeryon did not even think that much as he answered

"Of course. Garron is my father-in-law and your father. And he is also the Brolgadhr tribe ally"

Aeryon got up.

He could see that Ayera is holding back her tears.

She did not allow herself to break down in front of him.

Maybe it is because of her pride.

Or maybe it is because once she break down she could not stop. People of the Steppe also have their feelings. Aeryon turns his back, not looking at her.

"I will meet Mayeux. I would personally go to save your father" Finished saying this, Aeryon leave the Golden Pavilion.
