Chapter 351 – 35. Time Between Dogs and Wolves (1)
My eyes opened. It was very early in the morning. Is it only a couple of hours until dawn breaks? Rom, who woke up in a warm and comfortable bed, sat up reflexively. As a man who had been on the battlefield all his life, he was able to immediately see the objects and signs around him.
“Did you sleep well?”
As always, the baron’s spacious harem was overflowing with women napping here and there. Of course, most of them were nine dancers who had worked hard all day long with preparations for the festival, banquets, and other tasks. To put it more accurately, such a forced march was not enough for them, and because they served their master who was a boy, they were completely exhausted.
“Seeing as how she fell asleep for several hours while wearing that necklace, she must have really enjoyed it.”
“I have to remember someone thanks to you.”
The woman, who chuckled at the somewhat cynical response, responded by lightly shaking the teacup she was holding. The woman who was sitting in front of the desk in the corner, quietly enjoying refreshments and reading was Lucienne. She became a new female princess and was the best mystical scholar in the region.
“You have your share, so come and sit here. I didn’t know when I would wake up, so I made too much tea.”
For some reason, the tomboyish wife offered me a seat like a virtuous woman. The red-colored winter stone with the fire burning quietly in the fireplace was truly alluring. Even though it had been a long time since he took off his cumbersome formal clothes and changed into baggy pajamas, he was full of strange elegance.
“Okay, well…”
Rom quickly crossed her room. The harem was quite spacious, perhaps because it was designed for the purpose of sharing love with several of her original members. Even though her mind had returned, her body had not yet grown enough, and it seemed like she was closer to that of an adolescent boy.
“What about the other three?”
“Mom and her aunt will be sleeping on the third floor. We couldn’t all wait underground because we didn’t know what might happen outside. Bijou made tea about an hour ago and is on watch from above. “I need someone to tell me if there’s a problem.”
“I think it’s a bit of a worry, but don’t push yourself too hard. Because there is no need to overdo it like in the past. “No one is mine.”
Lucien, holding the kettle, nodded, pouring black tea into her empty cup. She seemed to really like her husband, who was strangely attractive to her despite not being young or grown up. If it weren’t for the scars on her face, she would have the look to be an actress.
“Honest is exactly what my husband would say. But I don’t know if she is actually taking good care of her body. I can’t seem to find an answer to fill your gap, even if I just got younger for a moment. How did she manage to do so much on her own? …”
“It’s nothing to worry about. And if she cared that much, she would have given him some strange medicine without saying a word. “As soon as she comes to her senses, does she know what it feels like to find herself back in her childhood?”
“It’s not my fault this time, right? I was just fed a special aphrodisiac because I was so annoyed that I had no idea what to do. How could I have known when I was already busy showing my face here and there? “Even Bijou, who believed that her mother and her aunt had decided to make something just like you, would have touched my work as she pleases?”
The female worker pursed her lips and let out a sigh. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t her fault, but it was like that. To be honest, it was true that she was cute compared to her usual actions, and it was easy to feel unfair.
“That’s cute. I knew my wife would get upset like this.”
“No one can deny that you are the head of the family. If you feel like it’s too much for you alone, Mom and I will do our best to help. You know, it’s really annoying to enthrone a female princess without saying anything, but you know that. “I don’t mean it.”
“If possible, take off everything, not just your feet. There is nothing more pleasing to the eye than the bodies of our women. “I felt all my fatigue go away when I saw her mother and daughter, her sisters, and even her lovers fawning over her big tits and twitching her buttocks.”
Rom laughed and joked. It was not surprising that a dirty old man with a boyish face would say obscene remarks. Even her female coworker, who would have been willing to agree with her at any level, shook her head.
“The lines suck, they don’t suck at all.”
“A little hurt…”
“If you say it with a fresh face, it doesn’t seem like it’s any worse.”
Anyway, it was a calm morning. It was a rare time spent together with my calm and rational wife. Rom picked up the teacup, took a sip of warm black tea, and looked around in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
“So, when do you think Marguerite will open her eyes?”
Also, I checked the complexion of my sister who was sleeping soundly next to the bed where I woke up and asked Lucienne. Even though her eyes were as bright as rubies and her hair was flowing like golden waves, it was the off-white color of my wife who I had seen every day.
“Your delirium and infantile regression would have been gone by seven days. It’s a gap that can’t exist in busy times like these. Moreover, even if I tried to create an antagonist, my husband’s body is not very special, so there was no guarantee that he would listen properly…”
“Should I say that Mr. So-and-so, who drugged that person’s body and made him younger, is great or has no conscience?”
“It’s the same when I’m sane and when I’m a petulant brat? Anyway, that’s why I decided to try a slightly special necklace to strengthen the relationship between my husband and the abbess. “Why is it made from fragments of relics you brought from your past life?”
“Oh, there was that. “I was thinking about recycling and making things again, and I think I found something.”
“It’s just a prototype. This is an item that came to mind while researching mental magic, and it sends the wearer into the deepest part of the subconscious. From there, it allowed me to face the purest desire I have.”
Marguerite’s cheeks were flushed and red as she was breathing heavily. It was proof that what happened in dreams had an impact on reality. After all, it was the work of a female worker that has now become so commonplace that it is embarrassing to even mention it.
“I made them a pair on purpose. When you wear it alone, it becomes an object that helps you face what you want, and when you wear it with two people, it becomes an object that helps you develop an ideal relationship for each other. By the way, I call this the dream chain.”
“Yes, thanks to you, I remember capturing my sister, even if it was a little different from my intention. Now all that’s left is to drive a wedge. The problem is that, as you can see just by looking at what he has done because he cares so much about me, even a little bit of persuasion will not be enough…”
She is a kind but strict sister. I eventually got my hands on it, though. Since it was the result of stimulating a desire that he had always harbored, it was not easy to convince even the harem I had created, apart from establishing a relationship.
At least that’s what Rom himself thinks.
“Well, what will it be like?”
Of course, everyone is like that. How many observers can maintain an objective attitude when evaluating themselves? In the same context, Baron Ardennes’ self-evaluation could not be considered accurate.
“My husband is a more wonderful and great person than I give myself credit for. This is a man that her mother and daughter try to share without giving her an inch. It’s a male that her sisters teamed up with to seduce and spend the night with. Even lovers who were bandaged happily reestablished their relationship even after losing each other.”
“The praise is excessive.”
“Yes, I have no intention of denying it. Still, the facts are true. Your charm is like that too. He has a respectable face, is capable, and is good at working at night. But the reason we look at you and follow you is not just because you have a big dick.”
The reason why a woman with a heart as cold as ice was able to regain feelings as pure as her love was because of the devotion of a man who was only for her. A knight who gave me his loyalty just because he swore an oath despite her cruel treatment.
“It’s because you are sincerer to us than anyone else in the world, Romuald.”
“That’s what happens when you’re in front of someone you admire.”
“But I remember. In the story of the passage of time, I can tell you how much effort you put in for me, even though you were my husband in name only. The same goes for Mom and Bijou. Not to mention her aunt. “What was the cause of all the trouble that took place in the eastern part?”
The couple, leaving behind those who were sleeping in the cozy harem, was facing each other. In particular, the female princess was confessing her affection, which was not her affection, as she looked into her husband’s eyes, even though she said she loved him.
“I don’t think it’s any different just because she’s a sister-in-law. Even more so considering the tragic scars on his face.”
“That’s reassuring, though. There are many troublesome things besides your sister’s unexpected behavior. “I honestly feel like I just want to sit here and vent my anger and eat everything.”
“The abbess will wake up in a few hours. Her mom and her aunt will be up by then too. Even though she is just taking a nap, she has to be considerate of Bijou who is nodding off. So, stop worrying about unnecessary things and focus on what you have to do.”
“What is that?”
“Well, just relax and have some tea with me.”
Although it is a title she accepted against her will, she does not waste her time once she becomes a female princess. Because Lucienne Lemohan is that kind of woman. She smiled as she held out her hand and offered to help her with her work as a hobby.
“Nothing will be difficult if you have my help, right?”
“Well, it’s not wrong.”
All that is exchanged is a few empty words. However, the loving couple’s time continued until morning. As the female worker said, sometimes it is these little things in daily life that remain as true memories.
“You always have a hard time, my husband.”
“If you know, please buy it and be reasonable.”
“… Hehe, will that work?”
Taking advantage of the interlude, Rom and Lucien had a happy time.
