Chapter 167 – Side Story Episode 4 – Emir’s Birthday Party
“This… A monster.”
The knight raised an aura and attacked.
It was the final outburst.
However, no matter how strong a knight is, it is useless in front of me.
Fuck!
When I snapped my fingers, the knight’s aura vanished as if a thread had been cut.
“What is this?”
The knight looked at me with an expression of incomprehension.
“This is the difference between you and me.”
At the same time, avoiding the knight’s gaze, a magic missile appeared in the air and pierced the guy’s chest.
“Keep it off…”
Blood gushed like a fountain from his pierced chest.
“That’s the price you pay for betraying the Empire.”
“…”
The knight didn’t answer and slammed his face into the ground.
Wow!
A group of soldiers rushed in.
They were the soldiers of the Empire who subdued the rebels.
“Did you kill him already?”
The knights commanding the soldiers in the vanguard looked at me with startled eyes.
“Count Corrales, did you say this guy was the commander of the rebels?”
“Yeah, yes. He was also a sword master in his own right, but…”
“It’s not difficult to subdue the Master.”
Because now it was the Master who could kill with a slight flick of the finger.
“I believe you can sort out the rest on your own.”
I left the remaining nobles behind and teleported to the imperial palace.
“I’m here? No, heheumheum, are you here?”
In an instant, his vision changed and he saw Leuclid sitting on his throne.
As soon as she saw me, her eyes lit up.
He put on a bright expression that only appeared in front of me, but later realized that this was an official seat and hid his expression through clearing his throat.
“We have subdued all the forces of the eastern rebels and the newly established kingdom.”
“It was a lot of trouble.”
It was a rebellion caused by small forces who did not recognize the emperor who turned into a woman.
Since legitimacy has been weakened, a rebel group of local nobles gathered together with the will to create a new kingdom.
From my point of view, post-meal street exercise was not something I could do.
“Oh, it was a lot of hard work. Is there anything you want? A servant who has made a contribution should be rewarded appropriately.”
Ryuclid cleared his throat and asked me.
As if she wanted something else.
Even though there are knights and guards, they are openly trying to show affection.
“Sorry. Your majesty. I have a schedule today.”
“… Oh Jim was too careless. Let the insider send the prepared gift.”
Leuclide, who belatedly realized the meaning of my words, smacked her lips.
“Sorry. If it wasn’t for today, I would have spent the night with Guk Seo.”
“Your Majesty, don’t you still have a lot of work left to do?”
“Are you still saying that?”
“You can tell me about the gift after finishing your duties.”
“Isn’t it really too much!”
Despite the emperor’s cry, no one took his side.
Because no one was unaware of my power.
I bowed my head and left Daejeon.
As long as the mana rift was gone, the air here didn’t irritate or offend me.
The way he looked at me was still not good.
That would be too.
‘Because he’s the one who turned the emperor into a woman.’
I don’t really care.
I also did it to live, and if I had to go back, I would have walked a similar path.
‘I don’t need to get uncomfortable stars.’
So I got out.
And today.
It was a very important day.
“It’s too late… Wouldn’t it?”
I’ll have to hurry up a bit.
***
House of Count Dmitry.
A large number of people gathered in the garden of the spacious and huge mansion.
“Are you Dmitri, the center of the empire? There are many rare foods and drinks that I haven’t seen before.”
“It looks like you put a lot of thought into it.”
“Isn’t this a truffle mushroom?”
“There are also dishes made with dragon meat. Haha.”
From royalty from far away countries to aristocrats with short hair in the center.
They gathered in groups of threes and threes and talked among themselves.
However, most of the story’s protagonists are.
“Countess Dmitry is beautiful again this year.”
“Even on her birthday this year, she shines the brightest.”
“You say you want to have a body that gave birth to a child?”
“My body swelled up after giving birth to a child.”
It was Countess Dmitry.
The main character of today’s party.
It was no exaggeration to say that all of her people who gathered here came for her.
“By the way, where has Count Dmitry gone? Now her wife her left her alone on her birthday her.”
“I heard that rebels rose up in the provinces and went out.”
“Oops…”
The young ladies and aristocratic wives whispered.
Today’s heroine is Countess Dmitry.
Emir Dmitri listened to their chatter in silence.
As she rose to the level of a sword master before she knew it, she could hear their words clearly in her ears.
But she didn’t bother to go and intervene.
Indeed, Maurice had gone to war, and now she was alone.
There was no lie in their words.
It’s just that it’s exciting that a new topic has been created.
Noble ladies are like that.
“Ha.”
The Emir repeated her words as Maurice had said she had left a week earlier.
‘I’ll be back before your birthday passes.’
He was a man who kept his word of her.
There was never a time when she didn’t keep her word her.
She believed him.
I will definitely be back before my birthday passes.
But.
‘It’s sad that my birthday alone is getting longer.’
That fact made her heart ache.
“When will you come…”
Won’t you come after the party?
If that happens, bad rumors will spread.
That part was a little worrying.
When her thoughts reached that far, her birthday party that was being prepared for her was not enjoyable, and the food that was being prepared for her was distasteful.
“Doesn’t it suit your taste?”
Sebastian asked politely.
“Like. It is so delicious.”
“Is it because of you, Master?”
“… Yes.”
“You will come back. Because you always have been.”
“I guess so.”
And far away
Buzz buzz.
There was an uproar in the voices of nobles.
“I guess you came.”
A man in old-fashioned clothes was walking from afar.
There is grace in every step.
A man whose integrity is buried in one gesture.
A person who can attract everyone’s attention just by standing there.
Maurice Dmitry.
He was her husband her, whom Emir had been waiting for so long.
“Sorry. You’re a little late for dressing up.”
Tumble.
Maurice stood in front of Emir.
Her face her, which had just been sitting at the party with a melancholy face, widened.
“I was waiting for you.”
Maurice stretched out her hand to the brightly smiling Emir.
“Can I sing a song? If you danced too much… Let me give you an example. I want to dance a song for her wife’s birthday.”
“It can happen any number of times.”
The Emir took her Maurice’s hand her.
“Wow.”
As the two held hands and stepped out into the center of the garden, everyone moved out of the way.
The two most beautiful men and women of this party stood in the center.
“I don’t know how it will be because I haven’t danced in a long time.”
“Just don’t step on your feet.”
Music came on
The two of them started dancing with each other.
The harmony created by string and wind instruments rang out, and Maurice and Emir danced among the people.
It was such a beautiful dance line.
Even the slightly outstretched fingertips had a delicate charm.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the two of them.
Even people who were doing other things fell in love with the two people’s dance.
“You dance well.”
“You too. I don’t think it was false to say that Solarion’s daughters are good at dancing.”
“Because I practiced dancing to learn the sword.”
I continued her dance moves, feeling the warmth of Emir’s grip on my hand her.
Even as we took soft steps, we did not avoid looking at each other.
It feels like falling into Emir’s eyes.
I didn’t hate it.
“Were you sad?”
“What?”
“I came late to the party.”
“You had a job. It’s nothing else, it’s fighting the rebels…”
She laughed.
“Didn’t I tell you to be honest? It’s embarrassing to hide your true feelings like this.”
“… Do you really want to hear it?”
Emir glanced at me and said.
“I was very upset. Why was it today, shouldn’t it have been delayed a little longer, I wanted to be with Maurice from start to finish, but I couldn’t get it started…”
Emir’s real expression, which he had been forced to laugh, came out.
A face full of regret and regret.
Even slightly pouting lips.
“I’m sorry.”
“How should I soothe that sadness?”
“Would you like to hear that with my mouth?”
You don’t have to listen.
She wouldn’t have to listen to what she wanted now.
The music turns off
Emir and I put our foreheads against each other.
Close enough to hear breathing.
“Emir, happy birthday. And I love you.”
I kissed him on the lips.
As if waiting, she closed her eyes and put her arms around my neck.
Emir’s lips were moist.
It smelled of lavender.
When she touched her lips, Emir opened her mouth.
“I love you too. You got the best birthday present ever.”
“Do you have any more presents?”
Emir laughed quietly at the whisper in his ear her.
“I will expect.”
Emir skillfully responded.
If it had been her virginity, she would have blushed and wondered what to do.
‘This is pretty good too.’
***
“… So are you? As for what the other young ladies said…”
After her birthday party her.
All nobles returned to their homes.
Of course, the nobles from far away stayed in the guest room following Sebastian’s guidance.
And we walked together to the bedroom.
The emir laid out the things she had done while I was away all the way back to her.
What happened in the manor.
What kind of conversation did you have with the invited young ladies?
What kind of cooking have you been practicing lately?
They even say that it is good to see the child grow up.
If left as it is, it seemed like they would talk endlessly.
Even if she was a sword master, a countess, and a mother who gave birth to a child.
She was only twenty-three years old.
Her actions and appearance were the same as when she was a virgin.
“You know what?”
“Yes?”
“Your wife is so beautiful when she talks like this.”
“Ho, ho ho ho. Really?”
She was a shy 23-year-old who hid her pouty lips at a single compliment.
“Oh, you know what?”
“What?”
“There is a saying that has been going around the world lately.”
“I have no ideas.”
“There is talk going around which lady is most loved by her Maurice her.”
“That’s a funny word.”
She is my most beloved wife.
Isn’t that an obvious answer?
“What rank am I?”
Emir asked me.
“…”
“Are you having trouble answering?”
“Do I really need to set a ranking?”
“I want to hear it.”
“I would say you are number one.”
“Even with Seria and the Emperor?”
“Sure.”
Were you satisfied with the answer?
Emir’s face turned red.
“It seems like you only say that in front of me, but I’m fooling you. Huhu. So, what’s the present for the number one wife?”
In front of the bedroom, Emir held my hand.
Her eyes of anticipation.
I couldn’t give up
“Branch.”
I slammed the bedroom door open.
