Chapter 220 – Pregnancy
An emergency has arisen.
First, find Irene, the maid of honor.
“Irene!”
“Yes?!”
As if it were for a time like this, his trained magical senses quickly identified Irene’s location. In a sense, I realized this time that it is easier to find people with magic than people without magic.
I need to make a magical resident registration card, this one.
“This is an emergency!”
Hehe, hehe… ! Oh, Irene-sama!”
“Lord, Master? To Neria? Is there a problem?”
There were guests, so there was a sudden uproar in Müller Castle, which was stricter than usual. Of course, it’s a place deep inside me, so it’s not too obvious, but Irene approaches with a surprise.
“My mother said that Chloe looked pregnant.”
“Yes… ?”
Irene was dazed. She looked at me and was startled.
“Oh, really? Chu, congratulations!”
“Thank you, but isn’t that what’s important right now?”
“Yes! Then… We will move according to the procedure!”
At my words, Irene’s complexion changes.
She became the face of the lady-in-waiting.
“Master. There are things we need to decide before we move.”
“Say it.”
“Yes. So Sir Chloe is an external bloodline. It is said that Sir Chloe Tristan serves the master as a loyal servant and knight of Count Hyperion’s family, but he does not belong to the family. Master, you must first decide whether or not to recognize the child born to Sir Chloe as your bloodline.”
It may sound cold-hearted, but it is true that you have to decide in advance.
If I acknowledge all of them as my lineage in the first place, even if the female knights do, if the wives or daughters of male warriors become pregnant when I give them my surname, I cannot accept all of them as my children.
Then, because of my lineage, if a child with extremely strong magic power is born, I can say what I plan to do, but family blood doesn’t rise in rank so easily.
If so, most of the problems that arise in noble families will be resolved.
It’s really not easy.
“It’s not officially recognized.”
At my words, Irene nodded her head.
And this isn’t even a bad story. If you accept her as my child, the Tristan family will end in her generation. Officially, she is not my child, but the child of Chloe, the owner of the Tristan family.
Well, everyone knows whose blood it is, but I had to decide this clearly.
“All right. Then I’ll be honest next time.”
Said Irene.
“Of course, I am inexperienced with the female maids and maids in the castle.”
“I know that.”
“So we have to ask Sir Chloe separately, but we want to practice with Sir Chloe.”
“Practice?”
How about that?
At my words, Irene shook her head.
“I’m not talking about experimenting with Sir Chloe. It won’t do any harm to Sir Chloe, based on checking her movements in advance before there is anyone who will become the real Countess.”
“Hmm. Still, I won’t force it. If Chloe says you don’t like it, don’t.”
“All right. Then there are two things you need to do first before you can move.”
“Two?”
Yes.
Said Irene.
“At first…”
* * *
“Leo? Did you call?”
“Oh, are you here?”
An office that is now more comfortable than a bedroom where you only sleep because you are familiar with it.
Chloe, whom I called, opened the door and entered while tilting her head.
“Is anything going on?”
We have to welcome the guests from the Franz family and the Bohrin family, as well as the people who will pour in from now on.
In the midst of being so busy, Chloe, as a knight in charge of the castle’s troops, was also busy walking around the castle.
“Hmm. I have something to tell you. Would you like to sit here?”
“Yes.”
I looked at her as I gestured to her chair across from her and sat down straight away.
Now she is also a veteran who has trained as her knight and experienced real combat.
I wouldn’t know if it was a long distance, but I had to look carefully when I looked at it right in front of me like this.
But looking at it like this, it doesn’t look good. How did her mother know?
“Would you like something to drink? What kind of car is good these days?”
“Leo-sama’s favorite tea is fine…”
“No, not that.”
Sweet tea that I often drink, so people around me have many opportunities to come in contact with it. Fortunately, that wasn’t bad for pregnant women. Of course it wasn’t good either.
I’ll have to cut it off for a while Write.
“Have you been drinking too?”
“Ah… Yes. I drink lemon tea these days.”
“… Aha. Lemon tea.”
Chloe said she enjoyed talking about her favorite tea, with a small smile on her lips.
“Maybe it’s because I’ve been wearing it lately, or it’s quite palatable, so I drink it often.”
“Indeed. Shine pull…”
This is completely confirmed.
And lemon tea for pregnant women… Could I drink it?
Before I knew it, Irene’s eyes met. Irene nodded her head slightly.
You can drink it.
“Hmm. Chloe.”
“Yes.”
After that, she chatted for a while, then hung up at the right time and called Chloe.
It was only then that Chloe must have noticed something strange, and her eyes trembled as she came out and looked around.
“…”
Charlotte and Neria, as well as Irene and other maids and maids who could be said to be close to her, entered the office.
“… Leo?”
“Um, that…”
“No matter how much I can’t stand it, a group orgy in the presence of not only the two counts but also Miss Ariena…”
“No, that’s not it.”
What do you see me as?
I saw the children behind Chloe turn their faces at that moment. These guys…
“Then what is it?”
A sigh came out at Chloe’s attitude.
Well, it’s the first time for Chloe. It’s natural that you don’t know.
“You are pregnant.”
“… Yes?”
Chloe’s eyes widened.

One of the annexes.
I invited Irina and Alina to the splendidly decorated garden.
“What happened all of a sudden?”
Irina tilts her head…
“Are you aware? That…”
“Oh, this? It’s candy.”
Dalgrak!
Alina rolled the candy in her mouth with her tongue and pulled it out.
An apricot-colored round candy moistened with saliva.
“There’s nothing we can do about it because the pipe has been taken away.”
Alina smiled and swallowed her candy with her bright red tongue.
“Because just because it’s safe for her body, I have no choice but to be prepared for it.”
“Whoops. Well, I don’t care This is pretty good too.”
“Oh, that sounds delicious. Thank you for giving me some too, sister.”
“Hmm. Don’t let me tell you.”
Seeing the two of them laughing and talking to each other, it didn’t seem like they were on bad terms. I was relieved to see her sister and sister decide to be close like sisters.
Seeing how the atmosphere started to become harmonious, I felt like I could talk freely. These two will never be bad.
“Sorry for coming when you were in a hurry.”
“Your brother will take care of it, so I didn’t really care.”
“Hmm. I haven’t been too busy either. Rather, mother… I was thinking about how to treat him.”
I nodded my head when I saw them smiling and answering while looking at me. I guess you could say
“I think Chloe is pregnant.”
Kwajik!
I heard the sound of candy breaking.
* * *
“Lord, master?”
Haha.”
I met Irene with a pale face.
Even as she looked at me and said something worrying, she received comfort mixed with resignation that she couldn’t help it.
“Oh, did it end well?”
“Ugh, um.”
At Irene’s words, she nodded her head.
Did it end well? Cancer. It’s over.
First of all, they were beaten one by one, but they were hit in the part surrounded by clothes so that no traces were visible from the outside.
How kind are you my two girls
“They cooperated.”
“Thank you!”
Well, as a woman, she gets a little angry, but for now, she agreed to cooperate with my words.
“Once, I gave permission to Chloe. Rather, I said it was excessive…”
She is treated specially as the wife of the owner of a domain.
No matter how much she practiced, it was too much for her to be treated like a noble hostess, she said.
“I said it wasn’t good when rumors spread.”
“I am really sorry about that. Still, it is said that the previous chief maid specially returned to give her guidance only this time.”
“Hmm. That’s good. No matter how much you are a practice partner, try not to make mistakes as much as possible.”
“Yes. I will do my best.”
Nodding her head, Irene gave her a determined look.
* * *
So, rumors spread around the city.
She is temporary with the news of her pregnancy by Sir Chloe Tristan, but she also doubles as her escort practice regarding her.
As with Grace’s older sister, escorting the pregnant mistress of the family becomes the most important task of the estate.
This time, the large-scale practice began.
“If it were me, I would put up guards here. It actually does.”
“Is this all there?”
Pointing at the tall castle wall, Count Harry nodded his head.
“Maybe it’s because our knights also fly, in fact, they tend to infiltrate in this way often. Why, doesn’t a human have eyes on his head?”
Indeed.
Like Count Harry, the knights of Franz who followed Aidan-hyung are also telling us what to be careful of when dealing with the Muller knights.
In that way, while the entire castle was actively moving, it was finally time for dinner as the sun went down.
“I was really surprised.”
I smiled bitterly as I watched her eat her food while her mother spoke expressionlessly.
“I wondered why. Congratulations nonetheless Leo.”
“Thank you. Older brother.”
Aidan hyung-nim also smiles and congratulates me while looking at me. He’s really an adult
If it were me, I would be angry no matter what.
“Oh, little sister. Will you be pushed by the knight? Try harder.”
“Brother, shut up… Oh ho ho. Mother. Shall I pour you some wine?”
“Hmm. If it were me, I wouldn’t spare violence against my brother. It actually did.”
“I fully agree with what Mother said. Irina. I did too.”
“Ho-ho-ho. … Did you hear brother?”
“Kuhm.”
I couldn’t help but laugh as I watched Count Harry immediately begin to quietly cut the meat.
All the important people gathered and started eating.
She asked as she watched Irene, the maid of honor, pouring her wine for Triana among the diners.
“Irene. What about Chloe?”
“I am on a break now. Considering the timing, I think I was pregnant even during the war, so I had to check my condition.”
“Oh my.”
She should have noticed earlier.
“The former lady-in-waiting said that there are more women than expected who have a rare reaction that signals pregnancy, such as morning sickness. Some history books say that even though she was in her mid-pregnancy period, she went wild on the battlefield, so it should be fine.”
“Hmm. I’m glad.”
Once you let out a sigh of relief.
“Trianna. The guards…”
“Yes. From now on, we have started a guard posture that assumes actual combat. This part has been trained on a regular basis from the beginning, and there are soldiers who have actually experienced it, so there is no problem.”
If you say so
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“No, Leo.”
Laughing at Triana, she laughed as well, slicing the steak off her plate and bringing it to her mouth.
“… Woo!”
Triana vomited.
