117 – 38. You have kept your promise.(3)
When the young man returned to the heart of the empire on horseback with his friends from outside.
Some who recognized his face showed respect and praise.
“Glory to the descendants of heroes!”
“Blessings to the descendants of the savior!”
Being a descendant of the nine heroes is always exaggerated in the empire.
Of course. If I had to point out the reason, there were so many things to talk about that it was not enough to stay up all night for a day or two.
“I felt it from the moment I crossed the border of the empire, but I didn’t know that the air gap between the inside and outside of the empire would be so strong.”
The middle-aged knight smirked, showing off his physique that was so strong that he could not be seen with heavy armaments.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a moving adult just because he is equipped with full-body plate armor made of cast iron, apart from the special material.
It’s not chain armor, let alone full-body plate armor, it’s like a kind of property that can only be obtained by paying such an outrageous cost.
In fact, he was also a free knight who owned his estate, sold buildings, acquired armor and war horses, and wandered all over the place.
… Although he was not from the Empire.
“Isn’t that nothing new?”
On the other hand.
A girl riding an ordinary pony was claiming to be a magician with all her body.
She even wears a purple magician’s unique robe and hat.
A girl with deep blue bobbed hair, plain but sharp eyes, and impressive brown pupils.
“The Great Prophet… In the Empire way, being the second son of the nine heroes, Bariel Tamelot, is like a privilege that not everyone can get.”
“Let’s stop.”
At this time, the young man who drove the white horse earlier stopped them by turning his head as if he was embarrassed.
Thanks to the black cloak, I couldn’t see the inside, but it was clear that he was armed.
A plate armor covering the chest and waist.
Other than that, each piece of protective equipment, which was formed to wrap around important parts, had family patterns and proverbs written in the ancient imperial language in gold on a black background.
His peach-red, light-tinted eyes, gripping the reins in thick leather gloves, swept across the bustling island.
Even dark blue hair similar to black reflects blue light when exposed to light.
“Dike. After all, from your parents’ house?”
“If you go in order, you should go to the imperial castle first, but His Majesty won’t criticize you too much for that.”
It’s not urgent.
Rather, going late would be easier to deal with.
I told you the news in advance, but I arrived in Jedo about two days earlier than expected.
“You can stop by the family mansion to rest and prepare to enter the city together.”
“Isn’t it okay to just say “I’m here” And go after an audience?”
“Because the audience and the return party will also be combined. The audience will be in the morning, and the party will start in the afternoon after the sun goes down. It’s not just one day, but as far as I know, it’s expected to last for at least three days, or a week at the longest.”
“…… Is it because it is an empire? It is very exaggerated.”
If you don’t know how much it costs to hold a party, you’d be right.
The girl knew better than anyone how much it would cost.
“Silane. Lourdin. By the way, can you really be satisfied with belonging to our family?”
Dyke called out their names and asked.
Lourdin, a free knight with a great physique wearing full body armor earlier, burst out laughing.
“Is it because it was before you got home, you got emotional? Isn’t it too late to ask now?”
“That’s true. Because there is such a thing as if.”
“Another useless word.”
A sorceress girl called Shilaine stabbed her hand as if not to tremble.
“Okay, so say hello to your father, and I’m going to take a bath, eat something, and rest quietly for a while…” Do not wither.”
“That is not difficult.”
Dyke laughed softly at that imposing request.
Lourdin asked as if he had just remembered.
“By the way, before you left, you said you had more than five younger siblings, didn’t you?”
“Now I am eight. And… It will probably be different when you arrive at the mansion.”
“The rumor that you have a lot of energy isn’t exaggerated.”
“Because there are many mothers.”
“… Doesn’t that still cause discord?”
For aristocrats, having multiple heirs, and especially having multiple wives, has always been a source of contention that shakes the foundations of the family.
But.
“My father can’t be stubborn in that way, he is firm.”
I don’t know if most men have the feeling that they can’t win or lose to their wives who usually put their weight on them.
Bariel. He had none of that.
In this respect, he was a hero.
… Other than that, there was no point in getting blamed.
I was actually going to say hello when I arrived at the mansion.
“You still haven’t woken up?”
The sun is in the middle of the sky?
“You know.”
The old butler shook his head, but even this was a daily routine, so it didn’t sound like he was scolding him or saying he couldn’t stop it.
Just the attitude that the owner is no different than usual?
And Silane and Lourdin, who vaguely understood what that meant, admired again, saying that the rumors weren’t exaggerated after all.
“And, my mother felt another person.”
“… Then my sister would have grown by one more?”
At Dyke’s guess, the old butler smiled as if he managed to figure it out.
“… ….”
No, that’s just a comment, but is this correct?
In the end, I had no choice but to say hello and… Dyke himself knocked on his father’s bedroom door to greet him on his return.
And then, by the time I felt a toss and turns inside, I opened the door.
From noble mtl dot com
“Father.”
“Uh… oh my head what? When did you come?”
The bed was too huge even for a married couple to share.
Although Bariel was so big… However, if he could monopolize this, there would be nothing to say even if it was an extravagance and a waste.
However, when I saw three separate women lined up on top of it, I began to understand the size of it to some extent.
No, actually, this is not enough.
Why is it not enough?
… If the reason is that I couldn’t participate in this frenzied exchange (?) Because I was taking care of the child in my belly, it must be the reason.
No matter how much his father, Bariel, was not only a horny man, but also an empire and a famous energy man on the continent, he did not go out of his way to the point of having a relationship with a mother.
‘The bed in this room is bigger.’
Can you believe there are more than 5 rooms like this?
Assuming you take up a seat by yourself, you might actually have to swim in bed.
“Oh, it’s the waist.”
Bariel, who had crawled down the wide bed like a baby, rubbed his scarred face with his dry hands as if washing his face, then startled and patted his waist.
“I wonder if anyone is this faithful in a married relationship.”
“It’s not a crime, is it?”
That’s right.
… It wasn’t forced, and it wasn’t that he took a woman who owned it.
On the contrary, they are the ones who adore him.
Some came to see his family and his descendants, but later, even he was influenced and became loyal to his family and family… It was a very unusual example.
It was not for nothing that the head of the family asked him for advice on family discord and harmony.
“Still, it seems that you are steadily training the basics.”
“If the body is stretched, it is a sin against the wives. Isn’t it better to look good and feel good to touch? Of course I do it, and wives should too.”
… A simple but obvious fact.
Because male or female, even if it is a partner or a spouse, ugly is ugly.
Besides, because of the scars on his face, the atmosphere quickly turns ugly if he makes a slight mistake in his facial expression.
His body was also lined with all sorts of wounds.
It must be the wounds of glory he acquired through his heroic steps.
Though Ermina was with him, the fact that he had that level of scars on him must mean that the ordeal he passed through and endured was not easy.
He was a man who always proved results with his actions rather than his words.
And.
… After the death of the demon king, thoroughly family and self-confidence.
I was the kind of person who was so absorbed in happiness.
“Uh, huh?”
Seeing Bariel appearing with only his bottoms wrapped in cloth, Silane and Lourdin were instantly blown away.
“I heard the news well. Are you guys my son’s comrades-in-arms?”
“Uh, that… It’s a little embarrassing.”
At Silane’s direct and honest impression, Bariel stood up proudly.
“Why? Have you ever seen a boy’s body for the first time?”
“Yes? No… It’s not like that….”
“By the way, when are you two going to have a ceremony?”
“Yes?”
Dike pounded Bariel’s side with his fist.
However, Bariel doesn’t even show pain as if he has no choice.
“Why? It must mean that such a pretty lady has followed you all this way, asking you to take responsibility for your life. What? Wasn’t it? So what? Were both of them religious beliefs, so they didn’t join? Or just thinking about a man and a woman mating, and suddenly her heart hurts, her head just feels dizzy, and she suddenly gets goose bumps and makes her feel nauseous?”
“Why do you say… Do you do it that way?”
“No, unless you have a disability, if you are that kind of beauty, you can do it right away… Uh, I’m sorry… Could it be that it was your mate?”
Bariel, in a rare case of shrinking, asked Lourden.
Lourdin, who was pointed out, laughed.
“hahahaha! No Sir Bariel. And… Wouldn’t you rather scream while the words came out?”
“Lou, Lourdin you?!”
“Look at me. I followed you because I had a heart. In the first place, even though he is my child, this guy is also me, because he is me.”
“… ….”
Silain’s face burns red.
And then, Dyke opened her eyes wide as if she didn’t realize that fact.
“It was Lourdin, right? Let me tell you once. This bastard, was he sukmaek outside as well?”
“hahahaha… There were a lot of women who wanted to stick around. It’s because she said she had someone else in her heart.”
“In another sense, he is a fool. Tsk tsk!”
As if Bariel knew what Dyke was thinking from the beginning, she clicked her tongue as if feeling sorry for her.
“But that’s that and this is this, so please grant that girl’s wish first.”
Then Silane was surprised again.
“Yeah eh?!”
Aside from her blushing face, her eyes twitched in confusion.
On the one hand, it was so obvious that she had strange expectations.
“Father….”
“I know better than anyone that you have a crush on Her Highness, but… Let me tell you one thing for sure.”
That child.
“If she is not Kariel, she will live and die alone, but she is not a child to be left with another mate.”
“… Speaking of which, there are many things I want to ask about Kariel.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
Then, all of a sudden, Bariel’s eyes are drawn to herself.
To be precise, towards the lower body.
The cloth wrapped around it is strangely puffy. How big is it? The height is unusual.
“Aren’t guys like this when they wake up? Do it.”
“… ….”
Only Silane tried to look away from her, pretending not to know.
“Your respect, Sir Bariel!”
Lourdin looked at him with envy in extreme awe.
“… ….”
Dyke just slapped her forehead with his fisted hand.
“Thank you. Anyway… I recommend asking someone other than me to explain it in detail.”
“What if the other side?”
“Listen to Count Esdina and come.”
“If Countess Esdina….”
You mean that cranky old man?
Unexpectedly, however, the man mentioned by Bariel was somewhat unexpected even for Dyke.
“You know Seras, right? Now that child is the head of the family, come and say hello.”
“Seras… You said you became the head of the family of Countess Esdina?”
“Listen to her directly. Don’t I have the ability to speak?”
“Haa….”
“Anyways, everyone came well. You’re back well After unpacking your luggage, get rid of your travels and rest in peace. Thinking that this is my home, I stretch out my feet and rest. And… Did you say Silane?”
“Yes, yes!”
“You share a room with Dyke.”
“Yes?!”
“Father… ?”
“If you don’t use a blanket in a room tomorrow, you’ll both be kicked out. You know I’m not lying about things like this, right?”
Dike showed reluctance.
“Father. Even though….”
Bariel did not tolerate even the slightest rethinking.
“I like that you are loyal to Elhermina, that child. It’s all good, but what’s wrong with that kid who gets hurt by that kind of heart? You say you don’t know that when you’re carrying the same scar?”
“… ….”
“Even if it doesn’t work out, at least have a serious conversation. That is the duty of a man when dealing with a woman he is in love with. Understand?”
“That, over there….”
Then, Silane barely lifted her blushing face with her small voice.
She bowed her head again towards Variel, and she thanked her.
“Thank you for being considerate… thank you.”
“What? Pushing the back of the woman you love is the role of a good man.”
It was Bariel who was grinning with his teeth exposed.
Thanks to her short gray hair and the scars on her face.
How can I say it, I felt sorry and regretful.
Silane knows that she doesn’t have that smile, but she’s a little… She felt scared.
Of course, her tension was soon buried by her infinitely welling gratitude.
‘Not horny, just… He was a wonderful man.’
In another sense, he was such an exciting hero (?) That respect grew rapidly.
