I Am No King's

Chapter 229 – Grief News, Again

~Emir POV~

　

　

"How, Inanna?"

I opened the door slowly and just put my head in.

"He's asleep. You can come in, but don't be so noisy."

Me and Mulisu went into the room, but not just the road. We step without a sound and unite the rhythm with the breath, trying to eliminate the existence.

Finally we arrived at the sofa, in front of Inanna who let Lugalgin fall asleep on the lap. Wow, this girl is really fast! She had already practiced her mother's advice from a few days ago!

Eh? Me? No, I don't want to do it. I want to give Inanna a chance and comfort because she just got hurt. Yeah, I purposely let Inanna calm Lugalgin down.

"For a long time she was crying. Almost two hours."

As Mulisu said, Lugalgin cried for almost two hours. The two of us in front of the room could only wait until Lugalgin stopped crying. In fact, we almost fell asleep in the corridor. If Inanna hadn't knocked on the door by controlling the spoon, we might have fallen asleep.

"Since I became Lugalgin's future wife, maybe this is the first time I've heard Lugalgin cry so hard."

"Emir, let alone you. I, who had been Lugalgin's partner for 5 years, only found out that Lugalgin could cry like that. I thought, even if she cried, she would only shed tears without a sound. Yeah, I thought it was like that."

"Honestly," Inanna came in. "So, he almost did just that, just shedding tears without crying. However, I could not bear to see his body that looked so limp as if it would collapse at any moment. I forced her to cry too. I hope this cry can reduce her sadness even if it's just a little."

Inanna gave an explanation while stroking Lugalgin's hair.

I looked at Lugalgin's sleeping face. His eyes were swollen and his cheeks were moist. In fact, her tears still flowed slowly even though she had fallen asleep, soaking Inanna's pants.

As a side note, which I would never tell anyone, this tragedy made Inanna calmer and more accepting. He could convince himself that his appearance could be improved with surgery and medication.

Come, even if you are gone, you are still giving us great help. I'm really grateful.

"And, in fact, you haven't told me about Hurrian, have you?"

Inanna. "I can't bear it. I can't bear the burden of delivering two bad news at once."

At that moment, Inanna and Mulisu's gaze fell on one person, me.

"Ah.that's...."

Actually, I want to avoid their sight. However, I realized how mentally burdened Inanna was just to convey Mari's death. And Mulisu will not do so because I am the future wife of Lugalgin. If he does, it is as if he is stepping over power. So, this is my duty.

Wow, I betrayed my family and almost killed my father. However, for some reason, the task this time felt much heavier than all that. I don't want to see Lugalgin grieving anymore. I don't want to. However, I still have to deliver this bad news. I can't keep it.

"What happened to Hurrian?"

I almost jumped when I heard this voice. My heart almost slipped out of it. Not only me, Mulisu had the same reaction as me. I saw his body move but he held it.

"When did you wake up, Gin?"

"just now. I don't know why I woke up all of a sudden. However, perhaps, to hear about the Hurrian."

Lugalgin answered me well. In fact, I didn't hear a crack or a sound that felt heavy, as if he wasn't sad at all. However, for some reason, I could tell that it was all just a charade that he showed.

"Write, if you don't mind–"

"Oh, I don't mind. Just chill. You didn't hurt my feelings."

My mom can read my mind. Without extending, he got up and left the three of us in this room.

I don't know if he's understanding or just trying to escape. However, importantly, the three of us had some private time.

"So, what's up?"

Lugalgin got up and sat to the left of Inanna. Suddenly, without any cue or gesture, Inanna got up and moved her seat. He is now sitting beside me.

"Eh? But...."

"Here you go, just do it. Trust me. It'll be easier."

In the last part, Inanna whispered. Inanna rarely forced. If he had forced something, it must have been important.

I followed and sat down next to Lugalgin. As soon as I sat down next to him, I got a full view of Lugalgin. I saw her eyes still red and swollen. His brown hair looks pretty neat because it was newly caressed and petted by Inanna.

When he saw Lugalgin's face, a shadow immediately appeared in his mind. I saw Lugalgin coming back crying. And I was forced to look at his broken figure. Honestly, I can't bear it and I can't do it. I'm not capable of.

There's only one way to do it.

"Lugalgin, I'm sorry."

"Eh?"

I pulled Lugalgin's head and buried it in my chest, tightly clutching it. I was unable to see Lugalgin, and the only way to be able to convey this bad news while calming him down was in this way.

"Lugalgin, I want you to strengthen yourself."

"Yes?"

My chest felt a little amused as Lugalgin spoke. I have to hold him.

"Hurrian, starting from his stomach to his left leg was destroyed. Because of this, he lost some of his organs and until now Om Barun is trying to install artificial organs in his body."

Suddenly I could feel Lugalgin's hand gripping my back. Even though it hurts, I have to endure it. Compared to the pain that Lugalgin's heart received, this was nothing.

"not finished. Om Barun said, the right ear and some organs in his head also suffered damage. After this, most likely, Hurrian would find it difficult to control the materials. He also had problems with his body's balance due to this. And, Hurrian also lost his right hand, starting from the shoulder."

"So, Hurrian...."

"You could say, he's almost completely paralyzed."

"Uuggh....."

Lugalgin started as he pleased.

I stroked Lugalgin's back and hair gently, slowly. Not long after, Lugalgin cried again.

I looked over to Inanna for a moment. He just nodded without words.

Even though a few days ago Aunt Filial said a moment like this, when Lugalgin was fragile, was the most opportune moment to get into her heart, I still couldn't take a chance. In my mind, right now, I just want to be by Lugalgin's side, together, beside him. I don't want Lugalgin to shoulder this grief on his own. I want to carry it along.
