Chapter 124 – Awareness
#124.
It’s been a week since I’ve been focusing on Priscilla’s treatment. Of course, she deliberately took the time to appeal that she had suffered so much, but anyway, due to her efforts so far, Priscilla now completely trusted her warming.
Today was finally the turn to fully restore Priscilla.
‘I’m pregnant…’
Perhaps today, when the infertility is cured, Priscilla will have sex with the Count. There is nothing more effective than giving birth to an heir to solidify the precarious position caused by Calidora.
Wasn’t Calidora dug into the gap when her successor, Milius, died that she was now in this situation?
Fortunately, the child Calidora gave birth this time is a daughter. The moment Priscilla gives birth to her son, the relationship will be firmly established.
“Whoa…”
It worked out well for his plan. Anyway, once the identities of Calidora and Kaldran Orgius are revealed to the world, the count’s position is bound to be in jeopardy.
Then all the power will be concentrated on Priscilla’s children. Gaon, who has her trust, can also enjoy the effect.
That’s why he should be happy, but strangely, Gaon couldn’t erase his feelings.
She is even more frustrated because she herself does not know why she is doing this.
After wiping his body dry with a towel, Gaon put on his clothes and left the Iron Brothers Guild.
First of all, you have to go to the pre-new guild and join Chorin. A week ago, while reporting to Priscilla, she moved her place of residence in preparation for an unexpected attack on her.
I am currently living in the Prenewal Guild, but the facilities are pretty good, so it wasn’t bad.
At first, he contemplated whether to stay at the Iron Brothers Guild, as he met and sparred with Volkar every day, but all the dwellings here were tailored to the dwarf body type, so Gaon and the others were unreasonable to use.
In the end, he had no choice but to choose the most accessible free renewal guild.
After walking for about 10 minutes across the guild street, I saw the pre-new guild building. Gaon briefly exchanged greetings with the now familiar counter clerk, then headed to Chorin’s room.
This building has a total of 5 floors, and Chorin’s residence is located on the 4th floor. As I was moving to take the elevator, I arrived at the first floor and the door opened, revealing Milena inside.
“Oh!? It’s Gaon. Are you here to pick up Mr. Chorin?”
“Yes, that’s right. Where are you going, Ms. Milena?”
“I’m going to meet the Cain guild leader at Kritika Guild. Then I’ll just go. See you later.”
Perhaps because it was urgent, Milenya simply said hello and tried to pass by. Gaon caught her with her sudden curiosity.
“Wait a minute. I have one more question for you.”
“Yes? What is it?”
“How are your doppelgangers these days? Aren’t Jake and Madam now back to their original positions?”
Even after capturing them, he captured several doppelgangers. Some of them were silent, fiercely loyal to their king, while others, like Jake, actively cooperated.
Of course, even the guy who didn’t open his mouth at first, when he was tortured, he spewed out all the information.
In any case, in the case of cooperative doppelgangers, they were released quite freely at the level of setting up a few guards. Not just for them, but to keep the doppelganger from detecting something suspicious.
Jake and Madam made sure to return to their original positions the next day, but nothing has been heard since.
Milena answered Gaon’s question.
“Daria, she runs the bar as always. Jake has been taking his daughter to the general store often since then.”
“Are you talking about the general store?”
“Yes, I guess I don’t want to die. I thought you were trying to arouse sympathy? They say that they are kind to the guild members dispatched there. She also introduces her daughter as her uncle?”
He was a lot smarter than I thought. I never thought she would use her daughter to do something like this. I don’t like what you’re doing, but it’s a really effective ploy.
The guild members didn’t even know that Jake was a doppelganger, so they had no choice but to quickly become friends.
‘Besides, her daughter is just a human being…’
Even though he became somewhat neglected as he recently turned into a doppelganger, he had been an idiot until then. That’s how much his daughter liked Jake too.
If Jake is handed over to the temple, his daughter will be alone, but it seems to have attacked that part.
Gaon frowned and thanked Milenya, who stared blankly as if she had anything more to say.
“Thank you. Go now You’ve been holding on too long.”
“What. Are you okay. Then I will go.”
Gaon looked at Milenya’s back for a while before getting on the elevator. Arriving on the fourth floor in an instant, he knocked on Chorin’s room.
Smart.
“Chorin, it’s me.”
-Wait a minute!
Chorin’s cry was heard, and after a while her door opened and she appeared. A fresh dress suitable for her spring, harmonized with her unique smile, showed off her fresh charm.
Gaon, feeling the sudden desire to attack Chorin raise her head, flinched, then regained her reason and opened her mouth.
“Let’s go. Today is the end.”
“Yes! How would you like to be treated? Wouldn’t His Excellency be pleased too?”
“… It will.”
It’s normal for her to be happy if, according to common sense, her infertility has been cured. However, even Gaon could not easily predict how the current count would turn out.
I don’t know where Priscilla has something to dislike, but originally, people’s tastes are diverse. She might like a girl who looks a little light like Calidora instead of her lofty and elegant type like her.
She couldn’t quite understand it, but it was comfortable for her to understand it.
Gaon and Chorin rode the elevator back down and left the Prenewal Guild. When I arrived at the hotel and presented my ID as usual, I went up to the top floor and Albert welcomed me.
“Welcome.”
“Yes.”
“Hello!”
Albert, who maintained her expressionless expression at Gaon’s bland reply, smiled at Chorin’s lively greeting. As he too was her young man, he was weak to her beau.
Of course, Chorin didn’t even have any emotions. She just said hello because she’s someone I’ve seen often. Without regret, she passed Albert and moved to the bedroom with Gaon.
Gaon, who had a snowball fight with Sergio, who stood guard in front of the room as always, walked past him, opened the door, and went inside.
As soon as they stepped into the bedroom, Priscilla, who was enjoying tea time alone at the table, greeted them.
“Gaon-gyeong, Chorin-gyeong. Welcome. I wish you well today. Did you say it was the last?”
Gaon, who got up from her seat and looked at Priscilla who was slowly approaching, gave Chorin a look and replied.
“Yes, today all treatment will probably be over.”
“… I still can’t believe it. It’s a disease no one has been able to cure for 10 years.”
“Call the doctor tomorrow and check it out. You may not believe it right now. Lie down first.”
No need for long words. After all, it will be revealed when I check tomorrow. You don’t have to go through lengthy explanations to convince them.
Priscilla also laid down on the bed obediently, as if she hadn’t asked for immediate confirmation. She smiled at Chorin.
“Then please. Chorin Kyung.”
“Yes, leave it to me!”
Watching Chorin take a chair in front of the table and settle down next to Priscilla’s bed, Gaon slowly backed away and gazed at the two from the corner.
Soon, Chorin’s hand went up to Priscilla’s lower belly and raised her green magic power.
It’s been a week already, but today was different from usual. The magical power that had always only radiated out was now absorbed into Priscilla’s body and began to show its true value.
But Priscilla, who always closes her eyes when the treatment begins, did not see the sight. Had she known, she might have been suspicious.
However, Priscilla’s body flinched greatly for an instant, as if she felt something change in her. After 10 years of getting used to it, she didn’t feel anything wrong, but when she regains her normal state, she seems to be able to feel it.
The light emitted from Chorin’s hand was very weak. After continuing her treatment for 10 minutes, she let out a long breath and removed her hand.
At the same time Priscilla cautiously opened her eyes.
“Is the treatment over?”
“Ha… Yes, the treatment is perfect. You will be able to get pregnant now. You said that your period didn’t stop in the first place, right?
“That’s right. So it was harder to find the cause. It wasn’t even menopause.”
According to what Gaon had heard in passing, during infertility, eggs sometimes have anti-sperm antibodies and recognize sperm as foreign substances such as bacteria or viruses.
I know it is a symptom that appears when there is a disorder in female hormones, but fortunately, Chorin’s ability worked on the hormone side as well.
By doing this, they won her complete trust.
Priscilla rubbed her own belly and bit her lip.
“Something feels complicated. Can I have another child after giving up that child in vain?”
Apparently, Priscilla feels guilty about the death of her own son. The pain of parting became a huge thorn, and it was stuck in her heart even at this moment.
Chorin gently wrapped her hand around her and comforted her.
“Sure. Priscilla-sama can be a good mother!”
“… It’s a little comforting to hear Chorin-gyeong say that. Thank you very much. It was a great fortune for me to meet you.”
“Huh! If you say that only to me, Mr. Gaon will be sad. Did I just follow Gaon’s instructions?”
At Chorin’s words, Priscilla’s gaze turned to Gaon.
He watched her with his back to the window and was a little taken aback when she stared at her. She didn’t know what to say to her, so she awkwardly averted her gaze, and Priscilla laughed as he fidgeted with her hair.
“Whoops… Thank you also Gaon-kyung. Everything seems to be going well since I met you. I will definitely pay for it.”
“… I look forward to it.”
“Of course. You said you would come back to see me in a week, right? Then we will serve you a meal.”
“I am just grateful.”
Seeing that she even invites them to eat, it seems that her affinity for the two has reached a certain level. Things worked out smoothly.
As I left the room, Sergio approached me. For some reason, he had been glaring at Gaon as if he hadn’t done it until yesterday, but he was calm.
It’s a bit suspicious, but it’s good that there are fewer annoying things anyway. Gaon turned his attention away from him, exchanged greetings with Priscilla one more time, and left the front door with Chorin.
As far as he knows, the day of the union with the count is once a month. Even the body recovers and pregnancy is possible, so there is a high possibility that it will be done in the near future.
Gaon returned to the abode, feeling his mind wandering again.
And, 3 days passed.
