Chapter 159 – Father
@
Elroy raised a pen full of ink.
It was to accept the cloth Carol had offered and sign her autograph.
However, Elroy’s expression was not very comfortable.
It’s not because she doesn’t like signing autographs.
It was because what Carol held out was not a neat handkerchief, but rather the leggings she had been wearing just before.
“Elroy, relax your expression. Anything’s fine, don’t you remember when I told you to bring something for an autograph?”
“Noisy. You really need to refrain from these pointless pranks. This wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t hinted at Carol.”
“A hint? What is it?”
“…It’s nothing.”
Not wanting to get angry in front of Carol’s smiling face, G-Elroy kept her mouth shut and scrawled her pen.
Carol took the white leggings with her autograph in her snazzy handwriting, and she held them dearly in her arms.
“Thank you very much for listening to my troublesome request, Count. I will cherish it for the rest of my life!”
“Well, for the rest of my life… Why don’t you keep it, I’ll do it again later on a good paper?”
“Hehe, thank you for your words, but I like this. It’s the first sign I got from the Count.”
As she laughed while listening to their slightly out of sync conversation, Elroy opened her eyes and glared at her.
Carol tilted her head at the friendly look of Elroy and me.
“You two are very close.”
“So. They’re very close.”
Just before, I was strangling and running behind.
You can’t get any closer than this.
“I-do you see that?”
“Sure. Even if it’s for a strategy meeting, you’re letting a man into your room in the middle of the night like this. You don’t usually trust each other, do you?”
Carol firmly believed that I was in Elroy’s room for her meeting.
The fake memories planted by suggestion did their job.
Elroy seems to be happy with Carol’s words, but she doesn’t show it, but she likes it very much.
She smiled and said in a soft voice.
“You can say, Carol, you had such a great time today. She’d love to join you for tea time next time, if you don’t mind Carol.”
“Are you sure? I really enjoyed it too!
“…”
Elroy’s eyebrows twitched as Carol gulped down her saliva.
Carol says she hasn’t had tea today.
What she drank was a different liquid.
‘Even though I erased my memory, I must have liked it enough to find it.’
“Did you like the tea you drank today?”
“Yes, really. It made me want to drink it every day.”
“Umm. I’m sorry. I personally brought the tea leaves, but they are no longer available. Today’s tea leaves were the last.”
“Ah, something like that…”
As Elroy sternly drew the line, Carol lowered her head in pity.
“Don’t be too disappointed. Next time I’ll prepare something more luxurious.”
“Disappointment, Count. Please don’t mind…”
Carol declines with a disappointed look.
It’s cute because it’s obvious.
I smiled and approached Carol.
“Carol, give me your hand.”
“Here you go.”
Carol held out her hand without any doubt, and she didn’t hesitate.
Until recently, she had kept a considerable distance from me, but she seemed to have completely forgotten about herself.
As she casts her enhancement spell on Carol, a sperm is engraved on her left wrist.
“Ah, I said this to my mother too…”
“Yes, it’s a strengthening spell. If something dangerous happens while we’re away, use it. It will be your strength.”
“Thank you, brother. But you should save this power a little more. You never know what will happen in the ecliptic, right?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. I will definitely defeat the emperor and return, so you only have to worry about your body and your territory.”
“Brother…”
Carol comes into her arms as if moved.
Carol, who had been petting her head like her dog’s kitty, suddenly lifted her head.
“Brother, can you sleep with me tonight?”
“It’s sudden. What happened?”
“In fact…”
Carol embarrassedly twists her body.
It took a while for her to open her mouth.
“Today, for some reason, I don’t like being alone in a dark room. I’m scared… I’ve never been like this before. It’s strange, isn’t it?”
“It’s not strange. Everyone has times like that.”
The dark is scary
It seems that the memory of meeting the monster in the dark is left in the unconscious.
Then it’s half my fault, so we often sleep in the same bed. It wasn’t difficult.
“Then let’s go together. Shall we sleep in your room?”
“That’s it. Oh, is the meeting okay? I can wait as long as I can.”
“It’s okay. I’ve finished everything. It’s more of a problem with your clothes than that. You’re not wearing anything under your skirt, are you?”
“It can’t be helped. It’s all wet. It’s only natural to be dressed like this today.”
“Yes. You know it well. But let’s go back and change into pajamas.”
I never thought I’d sleep in the same room with my younger brother the same day I met him for the first time.
Judging from Carol’s reaction, it doesn’t mean much, and it seems that she really wants to stay by her side.
It is clear that intimacy has increased.
She looked at Elroy and saw that she had a subtle look on her face, so she tried to talk to her.
“Do you want to go too?”
“No, it’s okay. It’s not uncommon for siblings to intrude on socializing.”
“What if it is?”
“But don’t do anything weird.”
“It’s weird… I don’t do that.”
I’ve already done enough.
I gave Elroy her wry smile and left her room.
And she went to sleep in the same bed as Carol, who had changed her attitude and became a spoiled brat.
It was a bit difficult to fall asleep as Carol was clinging to her like a cat, but she didn’t mind because her cute little brother did it.
But when Carol pulled her body up on the way, she decided I was asleep, and when she started to masturbate, she really had a hard time pretending not to know.
It seemed to be quiet and careful in its own way, but it should have been very close.
I could hear Carol’s moaning.
Later on, I grabbed my right arm between her legs and wiggled her around.
‘I don’t know if he had any intention of hiding it now.’
It’s the same for everyone when they start to lose their eyesight.
But getting up and telling Carol to stop because it’s all over is a bit of a stretch.
Imagine getting caught masturbating in front of her brother.
If you’re like me, you can’t even have a conversation for at least a year.
‘I don’t like that. Let’s just stay like this As promised, I didn’t do anything strange.’
So I stayed up all night with my eyes open.
By the way, Carol’s masturbation didn’t end until dawn.
My younger brother, but quite a pervert.
She relieved her stress enough, but this time it seems that she has become a prisoner of pleasure.
Eventually, Carol fell asleep from exhaustion.
It’s still too early.
I left her room with her clothes on, leaving Carol to sleep until morning.
I was thinking of taking a walk around the garden without much thought.
Good luck or bad luck
I ran into her mother in the hallway.
“You woke up early.”
“Mother too. It’s an occasional holiday, so why don’t you get a good night’s sleep?”
“You get less sleep as you get older. You’ll find out someday.”
“Wow, I just felt really old.”
“Noisy. Better than that. Just follow me. There’s a place I want to go with.”
“That’s right. Just because I had nothing to do.”
We came out into the vast garden and headed towards the center of the ornately embroidered flower garden.
It was dawn, so the sky wasn’t bright, but the garden was very bright with lights coming on 24 hours a day.
Beautiful flowers decorate the surroundings.
A flower garden that occupies most of the large garden area.
Even if you look around, all you see is flowers, flowers, flowers.
It is truly spectacular to see so many flowers swaying in the wind.
However, apart from the beauty, the colorful flowers are not visible.
It is like a huge garland made of white or black flowers, many achromatic flowers.
“It’s still the same here. If you look at it wrong, you’ll think it’s a funeral wreath, not a flower garden.”
“I saw it well. Because these things are in harmony.”
“Is that right?”
Are these flowers artificial?
Is this whole garden itself a wreath of mourning?
If so, who would be the target?
“Yes, your father’s ashes were scattered here. And Lia’s was also scattered a few years ago. This is the grave of the two of them.”
“I see. That’s why you scolded me not to play in the flower field when I was young.”
“You’re not surprised.”
“Well, wouldn’t I have fallen from the sky? Of course, there must have been a father. No matter how much I asked, my mother wouldn’t answer, so I don’t know what kind of person he is.”
Rather, it is surprising that Lia’s remains were also scattered here.
Lia was technically just my exclusive maid.
But to think that her mother would be enshrined in the same place as her beloved father.
Her mother cared for Leah like her true family.
“It was my selfishness that I did not tell you about your father.”
“You didn’t want to talk about your embarrassing past? I understand.”
“Your father passed away when you were two years old. I had to raise you as a single mother, and as an example parent, I didn’t want to show you any stain. Of course, these are all excuses, and I know that it’s all my weakness. I knew it, but even knowing that, I didn’t get the courage easily.”
“It’s okay. I don’t care. She’s grown up well enough, and objectively, she’s a wonderful mother. She might have some flaws as she goes through life. Who’s perfect?”
“…Thank you for saying that.”
Said her mother in a slightly trembling voice.
‘I’m glad Leah is in such a beautiful place.’
I also felt sentimental.
Leah was a woman who had a great influence on me.
She was my innocence, she was also herself.
On the day she died in Rome, she died along with me when I was young.
Anyway, it’s all over now.
The dead don’t come back
Only regrets remain.
So, from now on, I will live my life so that I will never regret it again.
It’s just as I like.
Then my mother said
“Did you wish your father was special?”
Be a special person
Fateful encounters, special abilities, and chosen beings.
You mean those things?
“No, I’m not interested in that.”
“…Then it’s fortunate. He was an ordinary person.”
Upon hearing the answer, the mother smiled lightly.
Honestly, I wouldn’t have been surprised if there were one or two more hidden secrets about my birth.
“I wasn’t a noble, and I didn’t have any special abilities. My body was weak. I used all my family’s power sparingly to save your father, but he didn’t live long.”
“How could such an ordinary person marry a noble aristocrat and make her bereaved decades later? It’s not normal anymore.”
“…Kuhmm. Your father was a man with a special heart. A just, upright, and strong-willed man. If I hadn’t met him, I would have lived with the foolish thoughts of my childhood.”
“I think it would be nice for your mother to be a little more flexible. Isn’t she influenced too much by her father?”
“Noisy. You came back too lazy. What the hell happened outside…”
Mother grumbled for a while, then continued.
“Your birth was nothing short of a miracle. He was judged unable to have children because of his illness, and in reality, we didn’t have children for a long time. But when I met the emperor and became strange under the influence of the woman, suddenly you look like.”
“Have you done paternity?”
Perhaps because of his usual behavior, when he hears such words, a strange scenario immediately comes to mind.
When I asked, my mother glared at me with cold eyes.
No matter how much I thought I would ask her mother these questions.
“Yes. You are the child of me and him. It is unmistakably true after several investigations.”
“I see. You’re lucky.”
“Can I call it simply luck? A child that was originally impossible to have was born, and you saved me. And now you returned as the only one to stand up to the emperor… I feel something destined in you. You are the only one in the world. Wouldn’t it be meaningful that the father of the being who can handle miasma was a person with no special abilities?”
“You don’t sound like a mother. You believe such groundless rumors.”
“You may laugh at me. I believe that you are destined to defeat the Emperor. I will help you with that, even at the cost of my life. For the sake of all the people of the Empire and for your father.”
Said the mother resolutely.
Did you call me here to say this?
Now I really feel that the final battle is right in front of me.
The answer will come from the emperor tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
I smiled confidently.
“I don’t believe in fate or the will of the world. You can rather trust me. I am the one who will defeat the emperor.”
“…Yes, you’re reliable. That’s all I have to say. I’m going to go back now and get some rest.”
“It’s okay. Stay here a little longer, well.”
After that, I spent some time in front of the graves of my father and Lia, basking in the wind.
With mother.
