Not Ordinary Sisters

“Sion Claussen.

Please return to my ger [a traditional Mongolian tent] for a while.

I think I have some things to discuss with this woman.”

“Yes, hurry and disappear.”

···The two similar-looking women spoke in completely different tones, giving the impression of watching a split personality.

Listening to Eos and Zhan alternately, Sion nodded.

Still worried that these crazy sisters might start fighting again, Sion gestured to Kim Yu-hyun, who had been unable to take his eyes off Eos since earlier.

“Kim Yu-hyun.

Keep a close watch on them···.”

Sion shook his head.

He realized that instead of calling it surveillance, phrasing it differently could make Kim Yu-hyun’s work performance several times better.

“That woman.”

“···Are you referring to the woman named Eos?”

“Yes.

Eos Baylor.

Make sure she doesn’t get hurt if another fight breaks out.

The kingdom would be in quite a bit of trouble if she gets hurt.

If the atmosphere gets too tense, do your best to stop it.”

Kim Yu-hyun, instead of looking ambiguous as if wondering why he was being asked to do such a thing, nodded as if to say, ‘Trust me with it.’

Sion looked at Kim Yu-hyun and muttered inwardly, ‘You sly dog, you’re a man after all,’ before turning around and returning to Aighior’s ger.

“Ubbeubeub!”

“···.”

The first to greet Sion was Trisha, who was tied up entirely on the wagon.

Although the power of the Stigmata [marks resembling Christ’s wounds, often associated with religious figures] had manifested, it was only a small part, and the Celestials had not yet begun their full-scale activities, so constant activation was impossible. Currently, she is stronger than most knights, but her stamina and strength distribution are not balanced at all. The power that should always be burning is now like a match.

Therefore, her pure physical abilities are only slightly superior to those of an average human.

Being subdued and completely tied up like that was not difficult at all.

“Hey, Sion!

Are you okay···.”

Lilith, who had the best judgment, seemed to be holding Rishikia and Trisha well.

As soon as Sion returned, Lilith immediately checked him, and her face quickly hardened as she looked at the thin but red line drawn on his neck.

“Lilith-nim, I have something to tell you···.”

“What is this?”

“Ugh.”

Lilith grabbed Sion by the collar and pulled him close to her.

Seeing the red flames burning in the woman’s eyes, Sion tried to say it was nothing, but Lilith was still Lilith.

“If you say it was nothing, I’ll kill you too.

I’ll kill you, and then I’ll die too.

Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

Lilith’s hand reached for the thin wound on Sion’s neck.

She distorted her expression grotesquely, as if a scratch had appeared on a top-grade jewel that she would never sell for any amount of money, and opened her mouth as she examined Sion’s neck.

“Hey.

Sion.”

It wasn’t her usual languid or seductive voice.

A low, rumbling sound, as if a huge beast was growling, ready to tear someone to death at any moment.

“It’s not serious.

You could say it’s just a scratch.”

“···Is that so?”

“Is that so, my ass.

Is that what a guy with a knife to his throat should say?”

Swish—,

Lilith cast a healing spell to cleanly erase the wound on Sion’s neck.

Even so, she seemed quite bothered and began to lightly lick the area where the red line had been until just now.

“Your body isn’t yours.

Take good care of it.

If I get upset, I might really lose my mind, you know?”

It was quite a chilling warning.

Sion was already worried about Trisha losing her mind, and the thought of the Succubus Queen really losing her reason and sanity, laughing ‘Ahahaha!’ while wielding her scythe, made him want to commit suicide.

“I’ll take good care of it, so please don’t say such scary things.”

“I’ll see how you do.”

Lilith looked around.

Fortunately, the attention was all focused on the two northern sisters who were talking about something in the distance.

In addition, Rishikia was very excited and didn’t know what to do, but when she saw Sion returning, she shouted, ‘I can’t show you a disheveled appearance!’ and quickly ran off somewhere.

If she missed this opportunity, she would be disqualified as the Succubus Queen.

“Sion.”

“Yes, Lilith-nim.”

“Hug me.”

“···Pardon?”

“I said hug me.”

Here?

Why?

Those words rose right to the bottom of his throat.

However, Sion instinctively felt that if he said those words, he would really get beaten properly by this woman.

Without knowing why, but not wanting to hear more nagging, Sion gently hugged Lilith.

Then, Lilith nestled into the man’s arms, fussing even more than usual.

“Eueueueup!

Eubeubeub!”

“···Um, Lilith-nim.”

“Be quiet.

Focus only on me.

Hug me tighter.”

“Yes.”

Rishikia was gone, and only Trisha, who was completely tied up, was there.

This was a deliberate act to take advantage of this opportunity to thoroughly correct the bad habits of the rude little girl and to properly show that the official first place was naturally herself.

“···.”

Sion looked down at Lilith, who didn’t miss even these small gaps, and applauded.

Yes, she had to be this good to be recognized for her sincerity.

“Master!”

In addition, as soon as Lilith heard Rishikia’s voice, she immediately left Sion’s arms as if nothing had happened and showed the appearance of a main wife scolding him.

At that sight, Trisha closed her mouth, which had been screaming ‘Eubeubeub!’ in disbelief.

“M, Master!

Sion-nim!

Are you alright?”

“I gave him a good scolding.

I told him to be careful.”

“The wound···.”

“Of course, I healed it.

What do you think of this older sister?”

“Ah, I see.

Thank you!”

“···.”

She thoroughly trains Trisha, who is hostile to her, and in return, she treats Rishikia, who treats her well, accordingly.

Lilith strongly instilled the fact that if you are at odds with me, it is all your loss.

The Succubus Queen’s arrogant brat, Trisha’s taming was already in progress.

‘···Why are only such splendid older sisters around me?’

—

Finally, Eos returned to the ger.

As soon as she returned to Aighior’s side, she looked for Sion.

“Sion Claussen.

It may be a bit troublesome for you, but it seems we need to move the negotiation location.

Temujin, the leader of Kalta, who is hostile to the kingdom, has requested that she should also be at the negotiation table as another strong figure leading the northern tribes.”

“That’s strange.

They said they didn’t want to talk to our Hispania anymore.”

“They say they will at least listen.”

Sion thought that Eos must have persuaded her like crazy.

In fact, Eos told her sister to at least listen, and if she didn’t like it after listening, she could quit then, or choose war.

She said that if the kingdom’s attitude was extremely rude, she would side with Kalta and turn her back on the kingdom.

“Hmm.”

Hearing that, Sion realized that he was at least ‘the boss’ in this situation.

Certainly, Eos Baylor, the woman called the Daughter of Winter, seemed to be full of the desire to avoid a full-scale war with the kingdom.

It wasn’t that she was afraid of the kingdom.

Eos was a woman who was strong enough to end in a draw against ‘Khan,’ who was competing with Kim Yu-hyun.

She was only worried about the various northern tribes and was at odds with her sister.

“Baylor.

I’m a little sorry to say this, but I can’t help but feel like the kingdom is being dragged around by you northerners.

I am the delegate of His Majesty the King of Hispania, with full decision-making power.

Is it not enough that I came up to the north?”

“That’s not it, not at all.

But···.”

“It’s not just ‘buts’.

You have to show at least some sincerity.

Go and drag that sister of yours here right now.

This isn’t some enemy camp, it’s all the same tribes’ land, so what is there to be ‘afraid’ of?”

Eos couldn’t answer Sion’s words.

As he said, the kingdom had made many concessions.

They sent the king’s delegate to the north, and even though that person had a knife to his throat, they didn’t overturn the negotiation table for war but showed a rather serious attitude.

Asking for a little more convenience here was nothing more than an unreasonable act.

In addition, it was also an act of tarnishing the honor of the northern warriors.

“···Then please wait a little longer here.”

Eos bit her lip and went outside.

Vice Commander Schumacher, who had been quietly watching her, carefully opened his mouth.

“Will it be alright?

Isn’t it too much to provoke them?”

“The kingdom has its pride, and I have my pride, and I refuse to be summoned back and forth.”

“···Is that so.”

Schumacher was the vice commander of the Royal Knights.

He was a person who had more pride in the country of Hispania than any other knight.

Therefore, Sion deliberately mentioned the pride of the kingdom, and his own pride as well.

In fact, he himself was a professional who was always ready to bend over, saying that pride doesn’t feed you.

“How are the rest of the personnel?”

“They are all resting in the tents that they guided us to.

Lord Amschel kept saying that he would escort the young master, but I told him that Lord Kim Yu-hyun and I are here, so he should take responsibility for the group instead.”

“You did well.”

It would be a very upsetting thing for Rishikia, but since the group was divided, the strong people had to be divided and deployed on the surface.

Vice Commander Schumacher didn’t know the true identities of Lilith and Trisha yet, so it couldn’t be helped.

‘Originally, I was going to send Kim Yu-hyun to Rishikia’s place, but···.’

Sion, whose insides were twisted by the sight of the world’s strongest man having such wistful eyes, simply entrusted him with this position where he could meet Eos to his heart’s content.

Putting aside pushing him, it was truly unsightly for a grown man to be so depressed and digging in the ground.

‘And frankly, Rishikia can’t properly stop these older sisters when they’re fighting.’

In times like this, Kim Yu-hyun, the future strongest man in the world, had to step up.

In addition, he could also let the northern barbarian warriors know that ‘our protagonist is really strong.’

After a while, the sound of hooves was heard in the distance, and the entrance of the ger opened roughly with a bang!

“You!”

Wow, she’s distorting her expression as soon as she comes.

Sion stared at Zhan, who was glaring at him as if to kill him.

It seemed that Eos had conveyed his words exactly as he had said them, especially the part about ‘Are you afraid?’ in a very vivid way.

“···.”

Kim Yu-hyun and Vice Commander Schumacher immediately put their hands on the hilts of their swords and glared at Zhan.

However, she didn’t even glance at them, only staring at Sion.

After staring for a while, Zhan let out a rough breath and walked straight to the seat.

“No, that’s my seat.

She’s really crazy.”

Eos, who followed behind her, frowned as if she was dumbfounded and took a seat elsewhere.

In this way, the kingdom, the one who wanted to maintain peace with the kingdom, and the one who wanted to fight, gathered together.

“Let’s finish the story quickly and break up.

He’s a breathtaking man just by looking at him.”

Anyone who heard that would think that she was the one who begged to meet him first.

She was the one who rushed in as soon as she heard ‘Are you scared?’, her eyes rolling.

“Shall we? Honorable’ northern warrior who held a knife to someone without a weapon.”

Of course, Sion couldn’t say nice things.

At that, Zhan glared at Sion again with her eyes wide open, but soon sighed and turned her gaze elsewhere when she met Sion’s eyes.

“Don’t look at me and talk, Kingdom person.”

“I am Sion Claussen.

And don’t treat me like a subordinate.”

“···.”

No answer came back, but that was enough.

Anyway, in this place, Zhan Temujin, Khan, had a fatal weakness.

She had been rude to someone who greeted her first according to the law without a weapon, so it was only natural for the northern barbarian warriors to apologize.

‘I’ll remind you every time you raise your voice.’

Thinking so and snickering inwardly, Sion continued in what he thought was a very polite tone.

“Then shall we talk again, Baylor?”

“Let’s do that.

First of all, our Aighior supports peace with the kingdom.

Accordingly, we hope to resume the blurred trade this time.

On the other hand, Kalta···.”

“Is seeking a way for our tribes to survive.

Even if that path is in conflict with the kingdom.”

Zhan, saying that, turned her face away and was looking in a completely strange direction.

No, is she really going to do that without even looking at me?

Sion stared at Zhan in disbelief.

She was turning her head completely towards the tent, as if she really didn’t want to face him.

“Hey.”

“···.”

“Zhan Temujin.”

Zhan reflexively turned her head at the voice calling her, but when she met Sion’s eyes, she frowned again and turned her face away.

However, that direction happened to be the seat where Eos was sitting, so the two sisters sighed at the same time and turned their gazes in opposite directions.

‘What are they doing, really?’

In the meantime, Eos’s words continued to flow out.

She said that if they could continue trading, they could reassure the tribes.

At that, Zhan criticized her sister, saying that the monsters, which had been the main trade items, had all fled to the Blade Mountains, and that she was just bowing her head to the kingdom and begging for mercy when she couldn’t do anything.

‘···Things have gone wrong like this.’

Originally, the northern nobles were supposed to revolt before this, and the northern barbarians were supposed to join them, which was the flow of the novel.

The start of that rebellion was the attack on the nobles in the royal castle.

But Sion cut off that fuse.

No, he didn’t just cut it off, he made it so that it wouldn’t catch fire at all by soaking it in water.

Therefore, the kingdom’s northern territory had been quietly spending time, and in the meantime, the northern barbarians, who had been lacking everything, rose up.

‘Originally, Sion and those two women weren’t supposed to meet so quietly.’

Thinking so, Sion thought that he might be able to solve this problem very easily.

According to Eos’s words, the reason they were driven to this corner was that they didn’t have suitable trade items and couldn’t live as well as before.

‘Are the monsters pouring out of those Blade Mountains in a few months?’

The followers of the Celestials, who had stirred up the pirates in the south, reached out to the north.

If they could turn all the arrows to the demons living in the land of black mist far away, they didn’t care what sacrifices they had to make, or how many innocent people died.

“You want to regain a peaceful atmosphere through trade with the kingdom.

But it is very difficult to persuade the tribesmen because of the lack of those items.

To summarize, isn’t that it?

Baylor, and Temujin.”

“That’s right.”

“Then the problem solving will be quite fast.”

“···Yes?”

At Sion’s words, Eos looked at him with a surprised expression.

Zhan also stared at Sion with a slightly embarrassed look, but when her eyes met his, she quickly turned her head again.

“There can be a solution···.”

“There is.

Instead, there is one condition.”
