Chapter 687 – Ep.685 Tullius Empire
“Rest in peace.”
“Yes. Lord Melbourne, please return safely.”
After dropping me off at the mansion, I waved at the rapidly moving carriage. Only after the carriage was completely out of sight did I open the iron door and go inside.
“… “I’ve been there.”
I lowered my voice as much as I could because I didn’t want to startle Winter who was outside. Even if I lower my voice like this, my wives’ ears are so bright that they will hear everything.
However, even though I passed the front door and walked up to the stairs, I didn’t feel like I was there, so I looked into the kitchen.
“… ?”
One of Giena or Beneo is always in the kitchen, but for some reason neither of them were visible today.
‘Sis? ‘Is everyone in the bedroom?’
【Please come up quickly.】
‘… ?’
Feeling calm but strangely urgent, I blinked and walked up the stairs to this floor. And the moment I open the bedroom door.
“Winter~? “Nyaho, it’s mom’s tail~”
“What about the sparkle?”
“You liked my hair earlier!!”
“You have amazing ears.”
“I-I don’t have anything… ?”
For some reason, I was able to find Winter in Adrian’s arms and his wives gathered around him, all showing off their own characteristics. And from a little distance away, Siran and Beneo watch with pitiful eyes their wives who are fighting for Gyeoreum’s attention.
“Smith.”
Kernax, who was watching the situation from somewhere else and smiling slightly, approached with the Sith.
“What happened?”
“Hoop… “If I were to explain it, it would be a bit long.”
Kernax chuckled softly and briefly explained the situation before I arrived.
“Therefore. At first, I liked Siron’s hair, but then my sister stole my attention with her fireworks? Nyaho and Siran brought a lot of baby supplies, but Marvius and Adrian arrived just then, and Winter was hugged by Adrian?”
“Okay. “It looks like everyone was very upset because they were hugged by Sir Adrian and not by anyone else.”
“What… “Adrian is a bit round, so he seems easy to approach.”
Winter was hugged by Adrian and staring up at his face.
‘But everyone seems to be very focused.’
You don’t even know I came.
【You know, but you pretend not to know.】
‘Uh… ? ‘Is that so?’
【If you want to know why, go over there now.】
‘… ?’
Just let me know.
But I also wanted to get Gyeorae’s attention, so I just took off my coat and headed straight to Gyeorae.
Wow!!
“… ?!”
I was startled by the strong force pinching his buttocks and turned his head to see Kernax glaring at me with cool eyes.
“You should wash your hands.”
“Ah…”
I was so happy that I almost went to touch Winter with the same hand that I had done something bad with.
“… Sorry.”
“Wash up quickly and come back.”
“Yes.”
I quietly went out and ran straight to the bathhouse. Then, I quickly threw away my clothes, applied perfume to every corner of my body, scrubbed it thoroughly, and quickly got out to dry my body.
‘The finishing touch is the cleanliness scroll.’
After completely removing the moisture with the refreshing breeze, I quietly entered the bedroom again and stood behind my wives, who were quietly heating up.
Since I was a head taller than the tallest sister, I could clearly see the back of Winter’s head even from behind.
“Winter~”
-… ?
When I called his name, Winter’s round head, which had been staring blankly at Adrian’s face, turned in this direction. Then.
-Ugh!!
“Uh, huh?”
Suddenly, he started crying so desperately, and his small hand, which was holding Adrian tightly, waved towards me.
“”…””
Adrian, who had a triumphant expression on his face, as well as the other wives who had been very excited, instantly froze.
-Ugh!!
Then Winter began to cry even louder.
For a moment, my mind turned completely white and I urgently looked back at Kernax.
But Kernax looked at me with a surprisingly calm expression and winked at Winter.
Hug me.
Although he didn’t say anything, it was clearly a look that implied that meaning.
‘Oh, can I hug you?’
I was definitely shaking my head until this morning! And didn’t you hide it?
However, my hand was already moving forward without me having time to think long as I saw it crying and waving its little hand towards me.
-Ugh… !! Sigh… ! Flaw… Ugh…
“…”
I even remember extending my hand, but when I came to, Winter was already in my arms.
‘It’s too small…’ …’
And it smelled very warm and nice.
“Smith.”
“Uh, huh?”
While Winter was wondering how to soothe Winter, who was completely stuck and hiding her face, Cernax, who had been watching from afar, approached.
“Support her buttocks, and use your other hand on the back of her head and neck.”
“… Like this?”
“Okay. Smith, you have big hands, so you won’t make any mistakes.”
Kernax, who came next to me, kissed Winter’s cheek, who was moving her soft cheek as she was nuzzling the hem of my clothes.
“Actually, I haven’t been in a good mood since you came to work.”
“… Okay?”
“I guess I thought you were gone.”
I looked at the top of Winter’s head, which was no longer crying and had become calm again.
“But it looked okay a little while ago… ?”
“I was just pretending to be okay.”
“… “It’s only been a day?”
Then Kernax looked up at me and pressed his index finger to the other breast that was not given to Winter.
“Because winter is special. “By inheriting my husband’s blood.”
“… It did.”
I looked at the top of Winter’s head once again.
“Can I kiss you?”
“You look like you would do something even if you told me not to.”
“… “If it doesn’t work out, will you still hold on?”
“Okay.”
I very carefully kissed Winter’s head, which had fluffy black hair that resembled me.
‘Hehe, I missed my dad so much!!’
I understand why fathers say their daughters become fools.
I just heard that he missed me, but the corners of his mouth went up and it felt like he was just going to ascend to heaven.
-Ugh…
“… “I think you’re asleep?”
“I haven’t taken a nap since you went to work.”
“…”
The corner of the mouth that was trying to go up fell vertically.
I heard that babies grow healthy only when they eat and sleep.
But it’s only been a day since he was born, and he survived without taking a nap?
‘Roan this bird…’
… The moment I thought that I wouldn’t have gone to work if it weren’t for my talent, I realized the identity of the discomfort I felt in the carriage.
‘Well, it’s my fault too… ‘I have to forgive.’
Okay. What’s wrong with Roan?
I will never forgive you for leaving me tied up in the break room.
“Hmm, it was really cute and lovely.”
Marvius, who was frozen, slowly approached and opened his mouth in a whisper to praise Winter.
“I want to give something as a gift to Winter and Kernax, but since the richest man on the continent is next to me, I’ll ask her to find some treasure.”
“Oh, I haven’t told Leviel yet.”
“Okay? “Then I understand.”
“I’m okay with gifts too. “I am already thankful enough just from my heart.”
“Still…”
I don’t know when they became sister and brother, but since Marvius first met his wives, he decided to follow their rank rather than their status, so he wasn’t that surprised.
“Lord Adrian? “Let’s just head back.”
“… Huh.”
Adrian, who was glancing back and forth between me and Winter, came over with a regretful expression and hugged Marvius.
“Me too, pretty daughter… “I want to give birth.”
“Ha, haha, please wait a moment.”
“… Huh.”
Adrian smiled vaguely before leaving the bedroom and left with Marvius.
“Now, everyone, please withdraw so that winter doesn’t wake up.”
When Siran, who had been watching pitifully, opened his mouth, everyone, including the older sister, trudged out of the bedroom, carrying what looked like toys one by one.
“Then, let me warm up a bit after a long time.”
“… Kernax?”
“I’ll come back with a few light swings of the sword, so don’t worry too much.”
“No, it’s because I’m worried…” …”
But before she could finish her sentence, Kernax had already gone outside with Siron.
‘But when did Sith come out again?’
I belatedly realized that I was left alone with Winter, so I cautiously sat down on the bed.
‘Do you think it would be better to lie down?’
But I think I heard that sleeping face down is bad for your health…
It was a time when I was alone and thinking about which posture would be better and more comfortable for Gyeoreum.
Sweet.
The bedroom door opened, and Sis, who had disappeared without a sound, came inside carrying a baby bottle full of breast milk of a familiar color.
‘Nice.’
Sis was coming this way, but then suddenly turned around in her steps, opened her closet, and started rummaging through my coat where she had put it away. Then he took the envelope of the emperor’s letter he had received in the carriage and sat down next to me.
‘Please read and summarize.’
【Just this time.】
If it were normal, I would have said something.
Is it because winter is with me?
I asked Sis, who did not respond but was silently concentrating on reading the letter.
‘But just now. ‘Why was I being held by Adrian?’
【Because it resembles you the most. Skin color or hair.】
‘… ‘Nyaho is also black?’
【The skin is pure white.】
‘… ‘Our winter is very smart.’
Anyway, doesn’t that mean that I was clinging to Adrian, who had the most similarities to me, because I missed him so much?
It felt like the corners of my mouth were going to ascend to heaven again.
Sararak.
While I was at a loss as to how adorable Winter was, holding my clothes tightly in her small hands, Sis put the letter back in the envelope.
‘What?’
I asked, patting Winter’s small back so she wouldn’t wake up.
【They say they will send it to the Demon Continent in a week.】
‘… ?’
