Chapter 221 – Two Women
I’m old enough, but aren’t all men like that? No, it’s not just a man’s story. Not all are like that.
Just because I’m 20 years old, the things I liked in my minor days don’t change.
I don’t play games just because I got a job.
I do not live thinking about the future just because I have a lover.
They do not change their behavior, saying that they are adults just because they are in their 30s.
However, as time passed, I spent those days, started a family, and had children.
Various reasons become the reason why one day catches one’s feet.
Even if you want to drink, you put up with it, if you want to play, you have to work, if you want to meet friends, you have to take care of your family, if you want to sleep in, you have to take care of the baby.
How am I?
I grew old, reincarnated as the son of an aristocrat, and as time passed, the same age as me in my previous life got closer and closer.
In my previous life, I worked at a fucking small company, and after work in the evening, I drank and played games on the computer, and then I got tired of playing games and watched novels or internet broadcasts.
The older I got, the more difficult it was for me to get together with my friends. Once every two or three months, we barely managed to get together at the right time. Only then did we drink and play until we had a hangover tomorrow, not thinking about that.
In my teens, I looked like an adult in my 20s, and in my 20s, I looked like an adult in my 30s.
And time passed, and now I am in my 20s again, and mentally I am beyond my 40s.
But can I confidently say that I am an adult?
Kki-Ik-!
“Leo?”
Müller also has buildings for many occasions. In particular, they also have buildings to protect their bloodlines. It had Chloe in the center of the building.
When I opened the door and entered, Chloe was sitting on the bed.
“How is it?”
“It is inconvenient.”
Chloe just cuts it off.
But. To me, who had often seen Chloe wander around actively, the sight of her sitting on the bed now did not suit Chloe.
“The bed is too soft, and the surroundings are desolate. If you try to move, they come right away. However, there is no noise, so it is scary. Is it like this?”
“Well? Franz was similar.”
Although there are differences from family to family, they are similar.
He smiled bitterly at Chloe’s words as if she was complaining.
The Tristan family would cherish it if a woman in the family was pregnant, but it wouldn’t be like this.
“Still a little patient.”
“… Yes.”
Chloe pouted.
Since it was built for the safety of pregnant women, there were no harmful items, and only the veterans of veterans were allowed access to the ladies-in-waiting.
Neither Irina nor the other women’s maids who serve Alina have access.
Took!
I picked up a chair and sat down next to the bed.
The room illuminated by the stone he had gifted to Count Harry was certainly quiet. In that room, Chloe sighed and said,
“They say I’m pregnant, but to be honest, I’m not okay, so it’s rather hard to stay still like this.”
“I don’t know, but just because I was pregnant, the symptoms are so different.”
Is it called morning sickness?
From pregnant women suffering from nausea, swollen legs, covering food, anemia, constipation, chills, etc. To pregnant women who eat really healthy and walk around.
“Still, because I went to the forefront in the war. Be patient for the time being.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Chloe couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Given the timing, Chloe was pregnant even during the war. Because in that state he was leading the Knights as the vanguard on the battlefield. It’s a really creepy story when you think about it now.
“It was really cold. He is pregnant and out on the battlefield.”
At my words, Chloe blushed and bowed.
“I really didn’t mind. He had been educated several times while sleeping with Leo-sama, but he had no such symptoms. … However, I did eat a lot. At that time, there were preparations for war, and he thought of supplying nutrients, so I didn’t think much of it.”
“Even if you’re too healthy, you’re sick.”
At my words, Chloe averted her gaze.
Well, what’s wrong with her I’m just glad that Chloe and the baby are all right.
“Yeah…”
“Huh?”
Then Chloe looked at me.
She pretended to be calm, but I could feel the emotion in her eyes.
“Ah, I heard from Miss Irene… Ah, creeping… Are you all right?”
“…”
I wouldn’t have felt it during the day.
She said that she was suddenly pregnant, and the ladies-in-waiting rushed in, examined her body, and was moved to this room as it was.
I looked at Chloe.
Silver hair braided in three strands and blue eyes. Although her body is well-trained, she is small enough to be mistaken for a high school or middle school girl due to her short stature and modest breasts.
But she had unknowingly cut her hand and flinched nearby.
“Okay. You do not have to worry. Maybe it’s because she’s healthy like her mother, and there’s no major problem so far.”
“Everything, I’m glad.”
Irene told me, but when I told her myself, she only then let out a sigh of relief.
“Get some rest for the time being.”
“Yes yes. All right.”
“If you feel uncomfortable, tell me right away.”
“I feel uncomfortable right now…”
Chloe put on a bored expression.
“You have a book.”
In fact, he pointed to the book that was still on the bed.
Chloe picked up the book, opened it, and closed it.
“This is one or two books. It’s already the second volume, so I’m bored now.”
“Barely? Is it still small?”
“Ugh.”
Chloe made a shocked expression at my words.
Although she is good at her paperwork, she also writes her articles. I don’t know if reading a book is going to read one by one from time to time, but he seemed to be having a hard time sitting down and reading all day.
“I was behind on work…”
“Don’t worry about that for a while.”
It looks really sad.
“Still, even after pregnancy like Chloe, if she has a healthy constitution, they say that she can do light work as well as her daily life. Rather, they say it’s not good to lose muscle by resting too much.”
“Everything, I’m glad…”
A deep sigh of relief. I guess I really hated it.
After her moment of silence, he looked at her and opened her mouth again.
“As you know, the child’s last name will be Tristan.”
“Yes. I know.”
It’s not the face that was hurt by my words. The face of course it should be.
Her lineage is too weak to bear my last name.
Okay. Her pedigree can’t handle my blood.
“… As long as I’m born healthy, I’m good.”
“So do i. Even if you were born without magic, there is a solution now.”
“Whoops. I don’t mind, but it’s good to think of the family.”
Violet’s medicine.
The price of the ingredients that go into it is exorbitant, but that’s not a problem for a count like me.
Really. It is an invention ahead of its time.
He stroked the back of Chloe’s hand on the bed.
“And, did you hear the story?”
“Ah yes.”
At my words, Chloe smiled.
Along with relief, a nasty expression was revealed.
“I heard that Triana-sama is also pregnant. It’s nice to have a colleague.”
“Really. I was surprised.”
She’s early in the early days.
It was so weak that even her mother did not notice it.
* * *
The annex where the Müller family’s pregnant woman stays, just in case.
In another room there, Triana was lying.
Originally, I kept them apart because I didn’t know what they would do out of jealousy or depression, but I took this measure because both of them were concubines inheriting the surnames of Tristan and Müller, not inheriting my name.
Both of them needed the help of ladies-in-waiting, but in Triana’s case, it was especially severe, so there were things that couldn’t be helped. Like now.
“Are you okay?”
“Wow, I think I’m going to die… !”
Triana was lying on her bed with her appalled face.
It seemed to be really painful that her face was getting paler than before.
She smiled bitterly and sat down beside her.
“It’s more so because I realized that I was pregnant.”
“It was originally like that.”
Unlike Chloe, Triana started experiencing various symptoms such as morning sickness, bloating, anemia, and constipation, as if to prove that her pregnancy symptoms were like this.
“Leo…”
“Huh. I know.”
Irene, who had approached me before I knew it, carefully opened her mouth.
As the head maid, she was preparing for this situation as objectively as possible.
However, I could feel the anxiety and desperate emotions in her eyes.
“Trianna. Hand.”
“Yes.”
Seeing Triana’s blue-stained hand, I held the magic crystal in her arms and placed it on top of her palm.
Cold palms, as if suffering from cold hands and feet, felt from beyond the magic stone. A wry smile came out, but I endured it and worked my magic.
Faaaaat-!!
Sunlight rising from my hand begins to cover the entire room.
Keeping the temperature of the entire room warm so that Triana’s body is least burdened, and sterilizing things that are harmful to her body, including fine dust. And so that her body is not burdened, mana is injected just by touching this magic stone.
“… Haaaaa.”
Triana’s bluish face slowly begins to turn red. Irene, who was watching it, sighed as well.
“For now, this will be fine. I think my physical condition collapsed a lot because I did things that put too much strain on my body in the early stages of pregnancy. If something happens, then tell me again.”
“Yes. Thank you… Leo.”
Seeing Irene bow her head and express her gratitude, she nodded and looked back at Triana, but she had already closed her eyes and started to fall asleep.
I’m very anxious, but I’ll be fine.
I squeezed her hand tightly.
