The Wolf Lord is Enduring (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 11
El felt as if his head would burst from the feverish heat that surged through him when something utterly unimaginable happened.
He was completely stunned.
“Raphelian, that’s enough for now.”
Michaela couldn’t just leave El, who looked utterly overwhelmed.
At her intervention, Raphelian stepped back for the moment.
Yet El still sat dazed, picking at his fingertips.
Michaela let out a soft sigh and took El’s hand.
“I’d truly like to live with you too. I’m not forcing you, so stay here until your wounds heal and think it over carefully.”
“You really don’t have to go that far…”
“If you hadn’t gotten involved with our household, you wouldn’t have been hurt at all. That’s why we must take responsibility. Please receive proper treatment here.”
Michaela gave him a resolute look, making it clear she wouldn’t budge on this point.
Overwhelmed by her firmness, El couldn’t bring himself to refuse.
“Yes. I understand.”
“There’s no need to rush. But we should consider the matter of adoption.”
The first part of her words was directed at El, but the concluding remark was aimed at Raphelian.
Michaela’s gentle gaze, which had been fixed on the child, hardened into something firm and solemn as it turned toward Raphelian.
Raphelian calmly met her eyes without flinching.
Though his own gaze, in return, wasn’t exactly docile.
Caught in their subtle standoff, El swallowed hard and replied to Michaela.
“W-well… Adoption into a duke’s household for someone like me? I’ve never even imagined such a thing.”
How could he possibly have dared to imagine it?
Yesterday’s actions had simply been something anyone would do—something any decent person ought to do—so he’d acted without thinking. He couldn’t recall what happened afterward, but it must have been something terribly awkward to explain.
And yet, they were repaying him so generously.
Ignoring his dizziness, El shook his head with desperate intensity.
‘I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble in their peaceful world because of me.’
Seeing El bow his head timidly, Michaela frowned with a troubled expression.
“El, it’s not because you’re lacking that we’re considering adoption. So please don’t think so poorly of yourself.”
“No, that’s not what I meant… I really am worthless. I just don’t want to cause you any trouble because of me.”
“There’s no such thing as a worthless person in this world. And you’ve done something that, while anyone could have done it, no one else actually did. Mind and body often act separately, after all. For now, stay here comfortably and think about what you truly want.”
Michaela comforted El without mentioning anything about what had happened the previous night.
Hearing her gentle voice, El stared at her blankly.
‘Are people from noble families naturally this generous and magnanimous?’
Everything about her felt truly warm.
For the first time, El understood what genuine care felt like.
Perhaps that’s what gave him courage.
“Um…”
El bit his lips nervously, took a deep breath, and finally spoke with difficulty. He couldn’t stay silent any longer toward those who made him feel worthy.
“What is it?”
“I have something I must tell you honestly. I never stole anything myself, but I lived in a thieves’ den. I didn’t mean to deceive you—I’m sorry.”
Nervous, El licked his dry lips and continued.
“In that thieves’ den, I was useless even among them. The boss always said I was good-for-nothing and delinquent—that even an orphanage wouldn’t take me. So why are you being kind to me? Why don’t you ask anything? Why don’t you suspect me?”
El voiced the words he’d always heard from the thieves’ boss, both in the south and here in the north.
“You’re a bad child just for living here with us.”
“No one will ever trust you. No place will accept you, so you’d better listen to me. Otherwise, I’ll abandon you.”
Just recalling those words made El’s mood sink.
His lips drooped, and sadness settled in the corners of his eyes.
“It wasn’t your fault you ended up in that situation.”
“Huh?”
Raphelian ran his hand gently over El’s head as he spoke.
Dejected, El lifted his head and looked up at him.
Then Michaela added with a small smile.
“That’s the responsibility adults must bear. It’s the fault of wicked adults—and my fault as well. Governing this territory and protecting its people is my duty, after all.”
“To be honest, I don’t have my name registered here…”
An orphan abandoned at birth wouldn’t have any official registration anywhere, but El trailed off, glancing nervously at her.
“What does registration matter? You’re standing on my land now, aren’t you? That makes you one of my people, and I’ll protect you.”
Michaela shrugged dismissively.
Then Raphelian added calmly, his expression indifferent.
“We’ll only trust the you we’ve seen with our own eyes. And we’ll protect you. So put those unnecessary worries aside.”
El felt a strange tingling in his chest.
‘I’ve never heard words like this before.’
He felt oddly torn—like he might cry or laugh at the same time.
The corners of El’s mouth, which had been drooping, twitched slightly.
His body, tense with anxiety, began to soften just a little.
‘They only trust the me they’ve seen themselves… I’m someone worth protecting too.’
His heart, which had held both relief and anxiety side by side, suddenly tipped heavily toward relief.
And in the space relief filled, excitement and hope began to bloom as well.
“I’ll make sure you have nothing but reasons to smile. I don’t know what decision you’ll make, but while you’re staying here, live without worry and laugh as much as you like.”
Michaela gently tapped the bridge of his nose and softened her eyes with a warm smile.
Seeing her flawless, beautiful smile, El shyly returned one of his own.
Michaela patted El’s shoulder, then lifted her gaze and addressed Irina.
“Irina.”
“Yes, my lady.”
“Since it’s settled that El will stay here until his wounds heal, we’ll need to prepare everything he’ll require during that time.”
“Yes. Please give your orders.”
“Send for a hairdresser to tend to El’s hair. Also, the shops should be open by now—go buy clothes and shoes suitable for him to wear immediately.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Hmm, what else might we need…? Oh, perhaps some accessories too?”
El had only just begun to savor the unfamiliar joy of being cared for.
But as Michaela’s stream of instructions continued, he was once again left speechless.
His face even seemed to pale slightly.
It seemed El would need some time to process this situation and truly “think it over carefully.”
Having given instructions far too thorough to be called “temporary arrangements,” Michaela left the dining room and turned to Raphelian.
“Raphel, come talk with me for a bit.”
“Yes.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
