LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 161: Reward
"I see… so if I marry a white wolf tribe woman as a concubine, I will be your backing. Um, isn't it a realistic and easy-to-understand strategy? I'm very much in favor of this idea!"
We sat down on our knees while drinking tea inside the largest igloo in the temporary village of the advance party.
I explained the situation to Am, the lord's son who woke up after healing his wounds with Shia's healing magic.
Am's childhood friend Ice, a girl from the White Wolf tribe, volunteered to explain to him. But she looked grumpy. Am had a long-time crush and was worried about Snow, a married woman, without realizing Ice’s favor. She couldn't be happy. Am didn't notice the attitude of his childhood friend at all.
Seriously, what kind of insensitive protagonist is this?
Once, Ice stuttered embarrassedly at the point where she said, ‘Make a daughter of the white wolf tribe who is close to Lord Am a concubine’. Maybe because she indirectly said that she was going to marry Am. I don't think Am understood.
After listening to the general story, Am willingly forgave me for the kidnapping. I stopped the carriage, and though I had no time to explain, I brought him in by rather violent means. However, he didn't say a single word of resentment, and simply forgave me, saying, ‘it can't be helped if it's that kind of situation’.
Perhaps some people could stand on the top in the future, and their capacity may be large. I think it's more likely that he's not thinking about anything…
In addition, he added his own opinion to this operation.
"However, it's a good strategy, but I have to say it's a little sweet."
"Is that so?"
Ice asked anxiously. Am nodded sharply.
"As soon as I returned to my country after a long time, I heard about the current situation of the White Wolf Tribe, and I immediately questioned my father about the reason… but I was completely ignored. I was just being abused… so, to be honest, there is a possibility that my father won't change his mind just because someone from the white wolves became my concubine."
Am glanced at everyone's anxious expressions and then told them his own opinion as if it was a good idea.
"So I'm going to take you from the White Wolf clan as my regular wife, not a concubine! No matter how much of a father he is, it is impossible to treat the clan of the future lord's legitimate wife as openly unpretentious."
"Oh, Am… Huh?"
Ice covered her mouth with both hands and happily dyed her cheeks rosy. The dissatisfied attitude that was there just looked like a lie.
Even though she was satisfied with being his mistress, Am voluntarily said, "I should make you my legal wife. She couldn’t help but be happy about this. Am didn't notice his childhood friend's attitude and proceeded with the story.
"Of course, I can't take her now and introduce her as my wife. My dad will disagree, so it will be necessary to prepare some groundwork. But on the flip side, all you must do is get ready. In the worst case. Despite being a noble who protects the well-being of the common people, if he continues to act to increase unnecessary conflicts, I can't let it go any further."
At the sight of Am affirming with a dignified expression, Ice had completely fallen in love with him again. Her big eyes were moist enough to make me worry that they might melt. Am moved his gaze toward Ice with that maiden face.
"That's enough for me. And have you given the information about Miss Snow's parents yet?"
"No, I'm sorry, not yet."
"Then you should tell them right away. They've done their job properly."
"I understand."
Ice got up in a hurry and left the igloo.
It was not an optical illusion that her back looked so happy that she was about to skip.
Someone with information about Snow's parents, perhaps even the leader of this advance party, would be brought along.
A few minutes later Ice returned with two people to the igloo.
One was an older man, over 180 centimeters tall. He was slender but muscular with all unnecessary fat removed. The left tip of his animal ear was cut off. He had a stern face, and he certainly looked like a warrior.
The other was a woman, about Meiya’s height. She had big breasts and semi-long hair that stretched out to the extent that it barely touched her shoulders. She was obviously a lot older than me, but her features were beautiful, and I get the impression that she was somewhat fragile and miserable.
Both were, of course, white wolves, with silver to the tip of their eyelashes, animal ears on their heads, and tails protruding from their coccyx.
Were these two people the ones who knew information about Snow's parents?
I felt a slight sense of discomfort.
Both men and women were somewhat like Snow. Face parts such as eyes, eyebrows, lips, and the overall scent and air.
Ice was also of the same race as Snow, so there were many things in common, but I felt that the people in front of me were similar beyond the reason of being of the same race.
It was like…
The gazes of the two white wolves who entered the igloo looked around us and fixed themselves on Snow.
The two held their breath as if their throats were tightened with their hands, creating expressions of astonishment.
The woman covered her mouth with her hand and shook her head left and right as if to say, "I can't believe it."
"Snow… are you Snow?"
“Are you… mother?”
Tears fell from the woman's eyes, one after another, without stopping.
"Ah, ah…"
The person whom Snow called "mother" was too emotional, she couldn't move her throat well and nodded many times while holding her mouth. Her knees trembled so hard that she couldn´t remain standing.
The man standing next to her was hugging her shoulders and his eyes were red and moist. Perhaps he was Snow's father.
"Father, mother!"
Unable to bear it, Snow ran up to the two and hugged them. The mother hugged Snow from the front, and the father hugged the two of them together.
Wrapped in the warmth of her parents, Snow cried until her voice hurt.
"Father! Mother! I missed you! I've always wanted to see you…"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry…I'm sorry I left you behind and couldn't pick you up…"
"I'm sorry, you've been having a hard time…"
"Uwaaaaaah!"
Parents and the child who meet again for the first time in more than ten years shed tears, caressed each other, and cried.
We continued to wait until the three calmed down so as not to interfere with such a moving reunion.
In this way, Snow was able to fulfill the dream she had had since her days at the orphanage, to be reunited with her parents
