Chapter 657 – 657. Long Leave (1)
After a brief performance report and a meeting on future plans in the lab of the Dwarf Blacksmith, it was already evening after the sun had set.
Eunhyeon headed straight to the mansion of Duke Armitas.
“Are you here?”
As soon as they came to the front of the mansion, the soldiers standing guard saluted Eunhyeon politely.
Everyone knew that he was the husband of Eleanor, who was no different from the lord of Armitas, so there was no one who didn’t know Eun-hyeon’s face.
“Please go in.”
The soldiers immediately opened the door and paved the way to the inside.
“Thank you. Take care.”
After bowing once to the soldiers on duty, Eunhyeon went straight into the mansion.
It was Lily and Erin who first sensed Eunhyeon’s presence and came to the hall on the first floor of the mansion to meet her.
“Did you eat your lunch properly?”
“Huh. It was tasty. Thank you.”
Eunhyun smiled bitterly and handed her empty basket to Lily.
A smile bloomed on Lily’s face when she confirmed that she had eaten all the sandwiches she had given her.
“Happy.”
“Let’s go. Hyuna! Illyana-sama and Eleanor-sama are waiting for you!”
Erin’s actions, holding Eunhyeon’s hand and leading her to leave quickly, seemed very urgent.
Lily smiled a little at her acting like a very excited child, and she cautioned Erin.
“Erin. This isn’t home, so you can’t run in the hallways like that.”
This is the mansion of an aristocratic family, and there are over a hundred servants working inside the mansion.
Behaving rashly is also a thing that lowers the ducal family’s reputation.
It was an action that damaged the reputation of Eleanor and Eun-hyeon.
Her lively personality is one of Erin’s charms, and Eleanor, who values her manners and dignity, doesn’t pay attention to her at home, because she likes it quite a bit.
Since she doesn’t even have eyes to see, no matter how much she runs around, you can just look at her as cute, but this was a place where that was not possible.
“Ah, yes.”
Erin, who belatedly realized the difference, nodded her head and walked as neatly as possible.
But even so, it was all obvious that her heart seemed impatient.
Eunhyeon and Lily looked at each other while making faces that couldn’t be helped, then followed Erin.
“Okay. Let’s go.”
Eunhyeon walked inside the duke’s mansion, guided by the two.
Every time I walked down the hallway, the servants who worked in the mansion greeted me one by one.
As Alex is in charge of escorting Yuria, who has now become queen in the royal family, Eleanor is the highest-ranking person in the ducal mansion, excluding her parents, Avros and Renes.
Since Eunhyeon was her husband, it was natural for her to treat her with respect.
When I opened the door and entered the room, dinner was already set on the table.
It must have been Eleanor’s idea to be considerate of her inability to move by providing a table dedicated to her in the room prepared for her instead of eating at her restaurant.
“I’m here?”
As soon as Illyana checked Eunhyun’s face, she greeted her with a smile.
“Huh. Haven’t you eaten yet?”
“You were waiting.”
Perhaps because they heard from Lily that Eun-hyeon would come in time for dinner, all of her wives, including Illyana, were waiting for Eun-hyeon to come.
Somehow, she realizes that Erin, who loves to eat a good dinner, is holding back her salivation because she has been waiting for him to come.
“Master. Please have a seat.”
“Thank you.”
Lily carefully pulled out the chair and invited Eunhyeon to sit down.
Eun-hyeon sat down and her other wives took turns to sit down and start eating.
“How are you feeling?”
“Well. Just like usual It’s not that hard except for the fact that it’s a bit heavy. Rather, it is quite enjoyable.”
“Are you happy?”
“Huh. Sometimes I go and I feel the baby kicking my stomach.”
At first, she was startled every time she did it, but now that she’s used to it, she’s rather excited.
It was because it meant that the baby in her stomach was healthy enough to kick.
I was already looking forward to the birth of a handsome and healthy son who resembled my father, or a tomboy-like daughter who did not know who she resembled.
She was anxious about whether she would be able to raise children well, but above all, she was full of expectations that she wanted to meet her baby as soon as possible.
“There really isn’t much left.”
“I think so.”
Her delivery date is getting closer and closer.
Looking forward to the day to come, dinner with her wives after a very long time was quite enjoyable.
I wonder how long it’s been since I’ve had this kind of free time.
“Hyunah.”
While having tea time after dinner, Illyana called Eunhyun.
“Huh?”
“Would you like to rest?”
“What?”
Eunhyun asked back as if she didn’t know what she was talking about.
Her sudden invitation was so out of the blue that I couldn’t understand her context.
“You’ve been working non-stop until now. Get some rest this time.”
“I’m taking a break this time.”
She came after resting for about two days in the territory of Tirnis with Erin, but it was impossible for her to rest again.
“That’s not what I mean. Two days is not enough. Take a break for a few years and come back.”
“… That’s not what I want.”
It’s an unbelievable recommendation.
Eunhyun smiled bitterly at her and shook her head.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to rest.
However, this Ha-gye simply does not allow Eun-hyeon to rest.
Even now, demons hiding somewhere are plotting and seeking numbers to open the passage connecting the underworld and the underworld, and her former colleague, Ray Nann, joined hands with the demons to annihilate all humans in the underworld.
And recently, she continues to see the terrible traces of another Illyana that she may have crossed over from the dimension of the parallel world, but she cannot relax herself.
“Are you okay. Because you seem to have already thought of the method.”
“… What?”
It sounded as if the certain ‘method’ prepared to give Eunhyeon a break was not the one Illyana had come up with.
As expected, a goddess appeared at the table after the meal.
It was Belldandi who manifested the body in the underworld.
“… Mr. Belldandy?”
Saying that she had something to prepare, Eun-hyeon couldn’t understand why Belldandi, who hadn’t been heard from for three days as she ascended to the divine realm, appeared at this timing.
Illyana, who glanced at Belldandy, smiled and said to the goddess.
“Please. Mr. Belldandi.”
“I get it. She will always be grateful to the witch child. Thank you so much for your understanding.”
“No. It’s for Hyun.”
“…”
Unable to figure out what the hell the conversation was going on between the goddess and her witch, Eun-hyeon was just confused.
She then turned to Eleanor, Lily, and Erin to figure out what was going on with her, and looked at her asking for an explanation, but her other wives just smiled meaningfully and said nothing.
“Get some rest and come! Hyuna!”
“No. So what the hell are you talking about…”
[Please explain in Naju. Hey let’s go.]
When Eun-hyeon was confused and unable to understand her situation, Belldandy held her tightly.
She then tasted the feeling that her body was languid and her mind was turning white.
The irresistible feeling was very familiar.
Eun-hyeon belatedly realized that it was the sensation she felt when her soul, which was bound to her body, was separated and she was led by Belldandy to her divine realm.
That’s how Eun-hyeon lost her consciousness.
◆ ◆ ◆
As the fresh wind tickled her skin, Eun-hyeon’s consciousness, which had lost her mind, slowly awakened as if floating on the surface of the water.
Eun-hyeon opened her heavy eyelids and opened her eyes as she realized that her head was supported by something soft on her side as she lay down.
As soon as she opened her eyes, what filled Eun-hyeon’s vision was her voluptuous breasts.
“…”
“Are you awake?”
The benevolent voice that kindly asked was the voice of Belldandi, who was now putting Eunhyun on her lap.
“… Mr. Belldandy?”
Eun-hyeon showed a bewildered reaction and carefully raised her body.
Soon, Belldandi’s chest and Eunhyeon’s face collided.
The smooth and soft texture, like a marshmallow, made Eunhyun’s body tremble with the fiendish touch that made her addictive no matter how many times she felt it.
“Oh, are you okay?”
“Whoa, to the extent of touching his chest. It’s already been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time.”
“…”
Belldandy’s reaction, which was a coquettish smile, was bolder than he thought.
In the past, she had a rather naive side, but after she had a special relationship with Eun-hyeon and often mixed bodies, the appearance of a bold woman became stronger than that of an innocent goddess.
Leaving behind the goddess’s bold reaction, Eun-hyeon slowly looked around her.
Eunhyeon and Belldandi were in a meadow made up of fields full of lush green grass.
“Here… Where are you?”
“This is a different world from where the child was.”
“… Another world?”
“It’s a virtual world created exactly based on where the child was.”
Virtual world.
Eunhyeon had experienced it several times before.
Most representative of these were the three ordeals of Jupiter, the god of Dodecatheon.
Among them, the first and second trials are a virtual space that reproduces the past events that Eun-hyeon went through.
In order to leave that space, the condition was to clear the trials set by Jupiter.
Eun-hyeon realized that the place where she and Belldandi were now was like a virtual space recreated by that ordeal.
“… Is this an ordeal?”
“It’s similar, but a little different. The principles created are similar, but this space was not created for the purpose of giving children an ordeal.”
“… And what?”
“It’s a space I created for my child to rest.”
“… Mr. Belldandy. I don’t need to rest. I already came back after resting enough in the territory of Tyrnis.”
She was very grateful for the goddess’ concern for her, but Eun-hyeon couldn’t afford to be so relaxed right now.
“Do you really think so?”
“Yes?”
“I saw a child doing nothing in an underground anthill.”
When she killed innocent women who conceived the monster’s seed in her belly, Eun-hyeon cared about her guilt in her heart, but stopped herself saying it was necessary. .
Eventually, when engaging her ancient beast, her enraged Eun-hyeon risked dissolving parts of her own body and crippling her, risking her reckless attack.
No matter how much she had the means to restore her body’s defects through ‘time reversal’, using her body like that was unacceptable from Belldandy’s point of view.
Eunhyeon’s psychological change in the anthill was a very important issue to Belldandi, and as a result of discussing this issue with Illyana and other wives, this was the method that came out.
Unlike the underworld, it is to call Eun-hyeon to the new realm where the laws of independent time flow apply and restore Eun-hyeon’s wounded heart here for the time being.
“… It was this.”
Eun-hyeon smiled bitterly at her, belatedly realizing that Illyana meant this to her.
Life in the divine world will certainly not affect the lower world at all because it flows in a different time flow than the lower world.
In a word, she can put her mind at ease.
Eun-hyeon lay down on the meadow in the grass as if to put down her complicated mind.
“Whoa…”
It was when Eun-hyeon let out a small sigh and was lost in her thoughts while being blown by the meadow breeze.
Growl
For some reason, the sound of an empty stomach was clearly heard, so Eun-hyeon moved her gaze to the place where the sound came from.
Belldandy wrapped her stomach to hide the sound coming from her own stomach, and turned her head away with an embarrassed expression, trying not to meet her eyes with Eunhyun.
Eunhyun belatedly realized what exactly this virtual space was like.
This place is not reality, but it is a space made as close to reality as possible.
Since it is a space where human physiology is naturally reproduced, it was necessary to regularly consume calories and get a good night’s sleep in order to be active here.
An ominous possibility passed through Eunhyeon’s mind.
“… Mr. Belldandi.”
“Why, why?”
“Are you unable to return to your spiritual body?”
“…”
Belldandy continued to evade his answer with his head turned away.
