Chapter 63 – -62- The Countess, Bella Souders (5)
‘I almost got into trouble’
It was a wise decision to closely monitor Bella Souders’ every move. It was a monitoring attached to the old woman’s heart to see if she had noticed the suggestion, but it was a great help.
‘It was good that I went out without an escort, so I came to find him myself’
She must have thought that she had escaped unnoticed, but her house servants took turns keeping an eye on her.
She was fortunate to be able to rescue her in time. She was feverishly thinking that all her efforts of the last hour had come to nothing.
‘What the hell is he doing…?’
These wolves were not naturally occurring individuals. In this land where all life is blessed with magic, it is rare for powerful monsters to occur, but it can happen.
But in this case it was different.
‘Weaponized wolves…’
The skins of these wolves chasing deer had one thing in common.
The imprint that resists magical power was embedded in the fur like a brand.
It was a monster artificially created by someone.
Magical imprints were hidden between the silver fur, and from a distance it was no different from a normal wolf. If approached by a wizard, they were extremely lethal objects.
It could have been an assassination targeting his mother. Although its purpose was still unclear.
‘It would be better if there were no variables’
The engraved wolves deflected Mother’s wisp fire as if it were a match.
‘It’s a considerable level of anti-magic imprint’
If it was a black magician who could skillfully deal with this level of imprinting, it could be a threat to Yeongjimin.
I thought I had to get rid of this warlock as soon as possible.
‘If I’m lucky in the process… I’ll be able to get the magic crystals that were lacking.’
Using the phonograph to use allusion to Bella Souders was very convenient, but it had a major drawback.
The power to imbue mana into language and enforce one’s will. A huge amount of magic stones were needed to recreate the magic of [Spoiler Art] With a gramophone.
It was a gramophone that required dozens of times more magic power despite its already low efficiency.
As usual with consumables for wizards, the count’s second son’s funds were barely enough to cover the cost.
‘For magic imprinting, I definitely needed a magic crystal…’ He recalled the worldview knowledge he had been instilled.
If, as I expected, you are a black mage whose main focus is magic imprinting, you will be able to obtain the lack of magic stones.
Black magicians must die.

“No way, Leon.”
Mother looked at me with an icy expression and declared with a firm tone.
“Why? Mother! Have you seen Mother?”
“Think about it, Leon… If you say there might be a powerful warlock, how am I going to let you go?”
“…As a member of House Sodus, I have a duty to protect the House and the estate. A sacred duty!”
“…Wouldn’t it be nice to send a knight from the Knights of Sodus?” Mother said while washing her face dry.
“My older brother said this was my delusion of grandeur.”
I rant at her with her brooding expression, in her brooding voice.
“Do you even know how big of a job it is to move the knights once, they gave me embarrassment.”
“That’s right… Wolf skin…!”
“They said it couldn’t be admitted as evidence.”
“It can’t be…” Mother trembled her fingertips with her bewildered eyes.
As the second son, I have no ‘official’ authority to move the Knights.
Likewise, the mother, who was not the royal wife, also had no authority to move the knights.
However, being able to request an investigation was her mother’s limit.
And, the request was neatly ignored, as I intended.
“I know. It would be quite reckless and dangerous for me to investigate this case alone…”
“But now, even at the moment of hesitation… A terrible evil may be growing beyond the forest.”
Playing an aristocratic young man full of blood and a sense of justice, I amplified her anxiety.
“It’s not childish behavior. I have to go, mother.”
It was Bella who grabbed my collar as I went outside with a firm expression, with a soft hand.
“…You can’t send it alone.”
She spoke to me in a trembling voice.
“I’ll go too”
‘Nice…’ I said, with a mean smile she couldn’t see.
“It could be dangerous. Mother, I’m the only one to investigate…”
“Stop! I won’t take objections. Leon.”
Showing firm determination, she said with sparkling blue eyes.
“It’s impossible to send you alone. Besides, I can play the role of an adventurer enough.
A welcome alarm popped up saying [Party has been formed], Letting her know that she had definitely joined.
***
“Wait, let’s take a break.”
She wasn’t lying when she said that she could play the role of a single adventurer.
She was a versatile wizard, and she had been learning magic for a long time.
As she gained experience in the field, she dealt with the wolves faster and more skillfully.
“How come, there are more and more of them. Leon”
She said, flipping the flattened wolf carcass over the tip of her boot.
The anti-magic imprint that dissipates mana could not change even the phenomenon that had already occurred with magic.
The wolves were helpless against the bombardment of stones that she fired with telekinesis.
There were cases where strong and agile wolves who acted as leaders approached, but all of them could not cross my sword.
“It feels like you’re getting close to whoever makes this wolf.”
The closer we got to the base of the supposed black magician, the more frequent were the wolves’ attacks.
“But, hmm … I think this is the limit for today.” She clicked her tongue as if regretting it.
It’s been a while since she departed from the manor, but she was already getting dark. It was difficult to continue the pursuit, breaking through the invisible darkness.
Deciding that we should now rest for tomorrow, Bella and I simply set up camp.
The two magicians who knew how to handle telekinesis took a moment to create a plausible camp.
“That’s great.”
“Hey, that’s the basic qualifications of a wizard. Can you stack these stones neatly?”
Thanks to the efforts of the two wizards, a fairly cozy campsite was soon set up.
The two of us sat huddled together in a bonfire with dry firewood crackling, staring at the fire in silence.
She stared blankly at the burning fire as if dancing, she hesitated for a long time before opening her mouth with difficulty.
“…When I was young, I had this kind of imagination.”
“What imagination do you mean?”
“Imagining being a wizard, going on adventures with great heroes, and becoming a great hero who defeats bad villains…”
She continued her speech, looking at the flickering flames with her dreamy expression.
“I thought I had given up on all of my dreams, but when it comes to things like Leon, I’m doing something that’s kind of adventurous…”
Bella said, leaning her face on my shoulder.
“Even to be blamed, I’m so excited… Whoops”
As if she was shy, she said she enjoyed the adventure, but she was so cute. Bella, who looked as young as in her mid-twenties rather than in her thirties, was enjoying this late adventure so much.
As she warmed herself up in the warm flames, she blinked her eyelids, as if her fatigue was coming to her little by little.
Seeing her like that, I used her [Her word spirit] On her.
“So…?” Her strong spirit resisted for a moment, but soon accepted my words, which she had grown accustomed to.
That’s also true, because she fell asleep with my voice as background music every day when she went to sleep.
“[Sleep better, mother]”
Her mana worked like flowing water, causing her to fall deeper into unconsciousness and sleep comfortably.
To her, who was deeply intoxicated in her sleep, I repeated her whispers in my ear, embedding her hints.
“[When I go on adventures with my son, I have so much fun.]”
“[It’s only natural to do your son’s favor for a fun adventure.]”
“[Every time I do my son’s favor, I feel satisfied and happy.]”
Until I alternated between her and her vigil, I repeatedly slotted the suggestion into her head.

“Leon…Really…!”
I enjoyed my adventures with Leon, but my God… I never knew that Leon could be so pampered.
Wasn’t it that he was self-respecting in the castle, and he kept making unforgivable favors?
Of course, I understand that being adventurous can be very difficult and stressful.
Chasing warlocks wherever they may be and dealing with wolves every few hours is a daunting task.
Understanding that, I couldn’t refuse all of Leon’s requests.
“Haa… Go ahead and touch it…”
“Only breasts, only breasts allowed…!”
Do you want to touch your mother’s breasts? What kind of ridiculous demand is this?
…But I think I’m also responsible for Leon making such a strange request.
I guess it’s because I didn’t give young Leon enough love, and in return he developed a strange obsession with my breasts.
It’s like an unresolved childhood obsession.
Besides, it is natural to give any reward during the ‘magical lesson’, but allowing him to touch my body to his heart’s content would have been too much stimulation for him.
Received such a stimulating reward… No wonder it was memorable.
“If you go back to the castle, you’ll know that this won’t happen again…!” I put a bluff and drew a clear line.
Because it’s only now, I made it clear that I allowed it.
You can’t let me think that I’m a person who can do anything if you forcefully push me.
Leon hugged me from behind and teased his chest with his hands.
“Rion, gently… You should touch your breasts carefully…♥”
“I’m sorry, mother.”
I couldn’t ask you to ‘don’t bother my nipples’ because a cultured aristocratic young man covered my lips and apologized in the best manner possible for a mother.
It’s nice to have grown up to be a tongue-in-cheek adult who can apologize politely, but it was bad that I couldn’t say anything while being apologized to by Leon.
I couldn’t make requests like ‘stop rubbing weird things on my ass’ or ‘stop squeezing my breasts’.
Feeling Leon’s big cock in my ass… I feel again a surge of desire that no mother should ever feel.
The warmth of the thick rod, felt even through the fabric, gave me a strange feeling.
I promised myself that next time, I’d tell Leon first, but now I’ve allowed him to enjoy my breasts to the fullest.
It was only after being caressed relentlessly by Leon until his embarrassing place turned a little moist, that Leon seemed satisfied and left me.
Seeing Leon’s satisfied expression, I felt that the act from before, which felt a bit strange and out of place, was so natural.
I felt like I was floating in the sky with a strange sense of happiness and fulfillment, enough to get over Leon’s rude words and actions, praising the touch of my heart.
If you think of it as a reward for Leon who works hard, wouldn’t it be enough to give it even if it’s a bit overbearing?
“Next time, I hope you don’t expect this kind of reward for killing a few wolves.”
I declared to Ryan in a cold voice. It no longer felt morally right to give Leon such an immoral reward.
…But, if you catch something bigger than a wolf.
If, according to the original purpose, even the stronghold of the black mage is wiped out…
At that time, it can’t be helped…♥
Seriously, because of the spoiled child, my worries deepened from the morning♥
