Chapter 157 – Responsibility
I hope to be able to return home by tomorrow or so.
This is one of the most luxurious rooms I have ever stayed in.
Looking around inside, I let out a small exclamation.
“It’s amazing. When did you prepare a place like this again?”
To be honest, in terms of luxury, the guest room in the Imperial Palace, which was given on the night of the victory ceremony right after the end of the war, is a step above. But, to be honest, it was a bit daunting.
Should I say that too much consideration causes discomfort?
It was a place where the word overpaid was apt.
But not this room.
I like the interior with a heavy atmosphere suitable for a knight. From loud, calm colors to wallpaper and neatly designed furniture. Just my taste
Besides, everything was miraculously optimized for my body size and lifestyle.
It felt as if the ideal room I had envisioned in my head had been embodied.
Originally, I was going to go home as soon as the bath was over, since there were things I had to do.
It was really good to say that I was going to sleep at this point.
“Master, are you going to sleep tonight?”
Alicia, who had been enjoying the time of pleasure together a while ago, lightly leaned on her body and said so, how could I refuse.
The fragrant smell of soap and the bright blue eyes were very harmful to the heart.
Since it’s a holiday soon, I thought it would be okay for one night.
“Yes. Then let’s stay overnight.”
“Uh-huh… You’re right, Master. Mmnah…”
“Alicia?!”
… As soon as Alicia said that, she fell into my arms and fell asleep.
“Ahhh… Then, later at night again… Heehee…”
It was as if she had fallen asleep very soundly as she exhaled evenly and colorfully with a lovely face like an angel.
Well, it wouldn’t have been unreasonable for her body to feel listless after she moved her body so vigorously and even finished taking a warm bath.
“It’s hard to come here at night.”
The reporter smiles bitterly as she reflects on what Alicia said right before she passed out.
Judging by the state of her body, she probably won’t wake up until tomorrow afternoon.
I got up from my seat, putting on my bathrobe, and approached the bookshelf.
After reading for the first time in a while, shall we go to sleep?
This is a space where no one will disturb you.
[How to be a good father]
There were quite a few books worth reading, whether or not the large bookshelf was for decoration, but at this moment, the title that caught my attention the most was that book.
“Hmm…”
Father, father I will definitely become a father someday. It’s crazy right now, though.
As I slowly meditate on the word father, I suddenly think of the shameless face of a human I would never want to resemble, and I frown.
It is said that even if children do not like them, they will resemble their parents.
Shouldn’t we prepare hard from now on so that we don’t end up like him?
Moreover, if I have children of my own, it will probably never end with just one or two.
So, with the thought that today is this, I opened the book and was about to read it.
-Smart
A cautious knock echoed outside the door.
Who are you at this hour?
I don’t remember calling her maid. It was a bit odd.
“Come in.”
Then, a very unexpected person appeared in front of my eyes.
A woman with an intelligent impression, wearing a clean black maid outfit and large monocles.
She was the chief maid of Leona, Alicia’s vassal.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
“Ah, you are the maid of honor. It’s been a while.”
“Yes. First of all, congratulations on your safe return, Sir Wolfgang.”
Seeing him politely lowering his head, I quickly corrected my slack posture and sat down.
Apparently, he takes a cautious attitude in front of her.
Alicia’s servant, but she is a person who holds a position that even I can never ignore.
For both her natural lineage and her influence, the Iron Lady, who was at the edge of the aristocracy of the Empire, was Leona’s maid.
Anyway, why did she come to me?
Worst of all, she may have been the one who witnessed the intense love affair in the large public bath, so she is nervous and drools.
Like that, after thirty seconds of silence maintained in a very awkward atmosphere.
The lady-in-waiting Leona looked around her room with her delicate expression and then slowly opened her mouth.
“This room, the princess prepared for Sir Wolfgang.”
“Is that so.”
What is this person’s intention? Suddenly, what a natural thing to say.
Then the person who prepared the guest room must be the owner of the house, who could it be?
When I showed a slight shyness, the lady-in-waiting raised her monocle and calmly continued her explanation.
“Once the Lord officially marries the princess, from then on, as a member of the imperial family, you will be given rights and duties appropriate to that.”
“Hmm, it seems a bit early, but it will definitely happen someday.
“To preface some of them, according to court etiquette for Daryl’s son-in-law, you will be staying right here, in the Palace of Light. So, this room is not just a guest room, it is a room reserved exclusively for Sir Wolfgang. That it is.”
“Ah…”
At her words, I nodded slightly.
A slight sense of incongruity that I didn’t bother with the drowsiness caused by bathing and sex.
Somehow, I thought everything was suspiciously tailored to me. Was there such a secret hidden?
When I accepted that fact as if it were natural, the lady-in-waiting’s gaze at me slightly sharpened.
But it’s only for a moment.
“No, the lady-in-waiting. Why are you suddenly like this?!”
“Sir Wolfgang, please listen without misunderstanding.”
It is shocking to see her suddenly bowing her head to the point of being burdensome.
Why is this woman suddenly like this, did I do something wrong?
“There’s no reason to interfere with Sir’s private life, and that shouldn’t be the case, but just one thing. Please remember this fact. The princess is always sincere with you. So please, I beg you. Please don’t make the princess cry. Please…”
Damn. Maybe it’s because my relationship with women is complicated.
Well, if it’s the information power of the imperial family, they should know who I’m meeting.
To see a lot of women while officially dating Alicia.
Even if the imperial family pointed out my behavior and acted high-handedly, I should have accepted it, but if I suddenly appeared in such a low-key way, what should I answer?
‘Well, if you’re a man, can’t you have at least three or four women?’
… The opponent is too bad to be proud of it.
There are situations where it can and there are times when it shouldn’t.
Moreover, Leona and the maid-servant said that her Alicia was even closer than her real sister, who had served her since she was very young.
I don’t know how to deal with it. It’s really terribly awkward.
“Well, raise your head first. Even if you don’t do this, I will always be sincere with the princess.”
In a situation where I couldn’t do this or that, I had no choice but to spit out a sound that no one could hear but an excuse.
The following words of Leona and the maid of honor held more weight than expected.
After I disappeared, I passed out right away, stopped eating and drinking, and became a half-dead person.
As soon as she came to her senses, she went to the owner of the White Mage Tower and asked for help.
With his tenacity to find me, he awakened his unique magic and finally found me, isolated on an uninhabited island on the other side of the world, with his own power.
In fact, even just listening to her, secret stories that made her heart ache flowed from the lady-in-waiting’s mouth.
This cold sweat runs through me.
I was going to read and enjoy reading, but why the hell did this happen?
After listening to her story for such a long time, it suddenly became midnight.
“…There were many rude people. Please rest in peace. If you need anything…”
“No, it’s okay. It’s okay!”
Also, even after Leona and the maid left, my heart was never at ease.
I didn’t know that Alicia had suffered so much.
It’s both admirable and pitiful.
It’s just a pity that I didn’t have long enough time to be with her.
“…Let’s go to sleep.”
In a disturbed mood, let’s finish opening [How to be a good father] And lie down on the bed.
The part that the only existence that can fill the vacancy of her husband for her wife is her child stands out.
Well… Make Alicia and her child La.
If a son is born, I want it to look like me, and if a daughter is born, I want it to look like Alicia.
Of course, Alicia’s perverted surname or her raging personality on my side would never be inherited.
If only the birth control magic was canceled, she honestly could have a child at any time, so the accident does not stop at a simple delusion and extends endlessly.
Just like that, around the time I felt a strange sense of responsibility that made a corner of my heart tickle.
-Startle!
When I turned my head to the strange presence felt outside the window, I was confronted with an extremely terrifying sight.
“Huh!”
The image of Master staring at me with scattered hair floating in the air.
In the eerie glowing purple eyes, you can even feel the slightest bit of life.
Knock Knock, when I make eye contact, the appearance of knocking on the window reminds me of a visit from a reaper.
To have a headache. Why the hell is Master doing that again?
