Chapter 1048 – 1048. Between Obedience and Affection
Lena sighed in relief and apologized in a calm voice.
“I apologize for the strong reaction.”
“No. Because I was surprised too…”
Viola makes a bombshell statement and Lena is surprised by the bombshell.
And me cleaning up the bomb remnants.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long to explain Viola’s explosive remarks.
Viola, who was next to him, smiled bitterly and apologized.
“Sorry. “I said it without much thought.”
“No. There’s no need to apologize for something like that.”
“You’re right. The problem was that I overreacted in the first place.”
Through the conversation, we returned to the usual atmosphere.
When the atmosphere relaxed, Viola touched her stomach again and laughed heartily.
“Lena, look at this. “Don’t you think she’s having a real baby?”
“… It looks real.”
Lena answers seriously.
Lena continued to look at Viola’s boat with curiosity.
The conversation, which had been flowing in a strange atmosphere, began to flow in an even stranger direction due to Viola’s words.
“Do you want to touch it?”
“Ah… Well, that…”
Lena is embarrassed.
‘I guess I’ll have to mediate soon.’
Viola had a childlike personality and had no qualms about situations like this, but Lena was different.
If she refuses, she feels sorry for Viola, but she doesn’t want to touch her stomach.
“Viola, that’s…”
The moment I tried to mediate so cautiously…
“Are you okay?”
“?”
Lena was looking at Viola with a blush on her face.
Viola smiled brightly and nodded her head in response to Lena’s question.
“Of course! Touch it!”
“!?”
Then she suddenly lifted her t-shirt.
It wasn’t just me who was surprised by Viola’s actions, but Lena too.
“Well, there’s no need to go that far…”
“Hehe, touch it!”
Viola sticking out her belly in front of Lena
But rather than feeling her rejection, Lena blushed and looked at Viola’s stomach.
And then…
“Well, then… Please excuse me.”
She began to carefully touch Viola’s stomach.
Viola smiled at Lena’s touch, and Lena was gently touching her as if she were touching a real pregnant belly.
‘… What is this?’
I’ve experienced all sorts of things since coming to the ship, but this is the first time I’ve seen a scene this absurd.
Lena, who was touching Viola’s stomach like that, smiled and withdrew her arm.
Viola took down her t-shirt and smiled.
“How is it? “It feels like there’s a real baby, right?”
“Yes, I think so. However, it feels slightly different…”
“Different?”
Viola tilts her head in curiosity
Lena nodded her head and began to explain naturally.
She said, “I have often seen cases where people who were in charge of castles got married and became pregnant.”
It probably refers to the maids or maids of the castle.
Because they will get married too.
“And every time I congratulate you… “You asked me to help you.”
“Please?”
Viola had doubts on her face, but it was I who let her doubts out.
After hearing my question, Lena smiled bitterly and answered.
“Yes… She asked me to bless her child.”
“Aha…”
I had to understand it to understand.
Although she was defeated in the war, before the war Lena was the only descendant of the Duke of Peron, and she was the heir to become the Duke of Peron.
Moreover, even though Lena lost the war, she was welcomed by the people.
It was a sight that showed how high Lena’s virtue was.
For the people of Peron, Lena’s touch must have been a real ‘blessing.’
‘She wouldn’t have felt any resistance since she was the same woman.’
After listening to Lena’s words, ironically, a feeling of guilt slowly flowed out of me.
‘If there had been no war, what kind of life would Lena have lived?’
What would the future have been like if I hadn’t brought Viola and Lena had won the war?
‘First of all, you wouldn’t have experienced such humiliation in the Demon King’s Castle.’
The Principality of Peron would not have been taken over by the demons, and Lena would have inherited the position of duke without a hitch.
Peron V.
That is the future of a world without me.
I am happy.
Lena also said that she was definitely happy.
And I believed Lena’s words much more strongly than she did.
We were both happy, but we were curious.
‘I wonder what it would have been like if Lena had become a duke.’
This is what Lena’s life must have been like at a different turning point.
While I was lost in thought, Lena smiled and continued her conversation with Viola.
“It may be different for each person, but… “It felt like their stomachs were a little stronger.”
Lena’s Viola’s stomach was far from that solid feeling.
Should I say it’s shaking… ?
However, I didn’t feel like I had gained weight.
It just feels squishy when you touch it.
‘No crazy person would look at Viola’s body and think she had gained weight in the first place, but…’
When Viola felt regretful, she touched her stomach.
“Aha… “It’s different from a real child.”
“Maybe not. Most of it was through clothing, and this is my first time touching my stomach like this.”
But… Most of the women who wanted Lena’s touch were probably maids and maids.
Such women would not have asked their princess to take off her clothes.
Viola smiled and shook off her regret.
“Aha… Then, when you have a real child, please touch it then.”
“Ah… I understand.”
Lena smiled awkwardly and made a promise to Viola.
The atmosphere went well.
I took advantage of that opportunity and asked Viola for a favor.
“Viola, I actually want to ask you something…”
I briefly explained Lena’s situation to Viola, and she asked if I could have some time with her.
And the result…
“Of course!”
I was able to get acceptance willingly.
Viola basically can’t lie, so her reaction will be sincere.
“I’ll finish it as soon as possible.”
“Sorry. “If it seems like it’s going to take a long time, I’ll stop right away.”
“Don’t worry about me, just work hard! “I’ll go somewhere else, so I won’t be disturbed.”
I thought I was going back to my room, but…
“I have to show it to other people too!”
… He said and excitedly walked out of the practice room.
‘… I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone looks at me.’
It was a worrying expectation.
I shook my head, brushed off my worries, and smiled bitterly at Lena.
“Shall we start first?”
“Yes, master.”
Lena’s face, which had been full of worry until now, was suddenly filled with motivation.
As I headed toward the center of the practice room, I began to briefly explain.
“First, we’ll start with breathing, so don’t be too nervous. If you’re too nervous, things won’t go well.”
“I understand.”
She said she knew, but her expression was actually stiff.
At first, I was worried when I saw Lena’s stiff expression, but…
‘I guess that level of tension is okay.’
I could see that it was closer to tension rather than burden.
It was the moment when I arrived at the center and was about to sit cross-legged.
“That… “Master.”
“Huh?”
Lena was avoiding my gaze with a stern expression.
You called me, but you avoided eye contact?
‘What? Is there a problem?’
This is the reaction you have before saying something so important that it is difficult to talk about.
I was worried about Lena and asked her calmly.
“Are you in any pain? If so, tell me. Breathing is also an important process for the flowering of Danjeon. “You should never push yourself to rush.”
“That is…”
Lena thought for a while, then sighed heavily and stared at me with a stern expression.
Lena’s eyes had such a strong sense of intimidation that it made me flinch and take a step back from her.
It was like seeing Lena when she was a commander.
Lena was staring at me so strongly… She spoke to me in a voice full of determination.
“If I ever have a child… “I want to be the first to have it.”
“Ah…”
I was silent for a while with a blank expression on Lena’s words…
“Under… Haha! Okay. “I’ll try.”
She smiled brightly and nodded her head.
Lena was momentarily taken aback by my laughter, and asked me again in her anxious voice.
“That… “I would like to receive a promise.”
Haha! Yes, I promise.”
“Whoa…”
It was only after Lena received my promise that she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, even as she sighed, she lowered her voice and avoided my eyes, probably because she was embarrassed by what she had said.
“Sorry. Such an unreasonable promise… “What?”
I didn’t listen to Lena’s words until the end and just hugged her.
“Lord, master… ?”
“Let’s stay like this for a moment.”
As I hugged Lena, I thought about her future that I had thought about earlier.
‘That kind of future never existed in the first place.’
Looking at Lena, I definitely captured her heart.
The choices I made in the past were the decisions to meet Lena in the first place, and Lena was destined to share her love with me like this…
The choice of the [Past] Was a guide to destiny for the determined [Future], And that [Future] Has now become [Reality] In front of me.
‘Lena is Lena.’
In the first place, Peron V did not exist.
I decided to think that it was fate.
And I accepted that fate and let go of Peron V in my head.
It was not erased.
I just let it go.
Although it was a delusion that existed only in my head, I hoped that King Peron V would live well somewhere in the world that I did not know.
I let go of Lena’s future that existed only in my head…
“Lena.”
“Tsk… Yes, master.”
I hugged Lena tightly and promised once again.
“I will keep that promise.”
“Ah… Thank you.”
As soon as Lena heard my promise, she smiled and hugged me tightly.
Due to the atmosphere, I felt like I should go to the bedroom.
But I slowly relaxed and smiled bitterly.
“I’m sorry to Viola for taking so much time, so let’s get started.”
“Yes, master!”
Despite breaking the mood, Lena’s motivation was ignited.
Lena immediately shifted into her cross-legged position, and I began to watch her breathing.
I thought about this while teaching Lena the breathing techniques I felt and the teachings I received from Namgung Yuha.
‘How strong will Lena become…? .’
I didn’t expect how strong Lena would become.
I just waited for the determined future and did my best to guide Lena.
