Chapter 220 – Chapter 213 – Pregnancy (7)

“Kyaaak!”

Silnia’s hand moved quickly, and her water droplets hit the back of Karine’s nose.

“Ernan and you have children, so she will take care of getting along to some extent. But!”

The elf’s hand splashed the water again.
This time it hit her right in the eye, not her nose.

“Oh!”

Karine hastily wiped her water off and opened her eyes to see the elf’s face right in front of her nose.

“Ugh?”

“Don’t approach me first like yesterday. Don’t flirt.”

An expressionless expression hung over her beautiful face.
However, the green eyes that gleamed in the shaded face gave off an eerie feeling.

“Poem, Sylnia.”

“It’s all what you did. Don’t get closer than the other girls.”

Karine eventually shrugged her shoulders.

“What I did to you… Yes, it is my fault.”

She tried to resist her urge to push Silnia.

“I’m really sorry… Really. But isn’t it too much to keep doing this?”

As she looked at the green eyes of a beast, Karine felt a chill run down her back.

“I, like you, have lost what I originally wanted… How many years have you been swearing at me?”

As Silnia kept her silence, Karine was able to overcome her fear and carry on with her words.

“Come to think of it, is there a woman here who hasn’t made a mistake? Especially Sylnia, you almost killed Marina too. Do you know how much I struggled for months when you and Marina couldn’t do anything?”

When she said it, she even thought that she had nothing to bow down to.
Even if Silnia’s face hadn’t turned red, her confidence would have definitely returned.

“Everything, of course I took care of the kids too! I made all the toys your kids play with…”

It was humiliating, but Karine hurriedly lined up a protest that sounded like an excuse.

“Since she won’t monopolize El like she did in the past… Please don’t say anything until we’re together.”

“…”

Only the sound of splashing water filled the kitchen.
Maybe Carine’s own heartbeat also filled her kitchen.

“Ehh.”

Suddenly the elf sighed and pulled her body back.
Karine took a step behind her, delighted.

“I’m exhausted from losing energy in the morning, I’m exhausted.”

Silnia resumed washing her dishes.
Karine also carefully returned to her original position and held onto her plate.

“I have a new baby, so I can’t lose my energy.”

“New… ?”

Unlike Silnia, who pretended to do her job well, Karine stared at Silnia with a firm face.

“I think I am pregnant.”

“But… The Demon God hasn’t given me a confirmation pattern yet.”

“You’ve been slow to drink lately, aren’t you? You must be having a hard time outside.”

The elf wiped the bowl with a calm expression.
It was like stroking the top of her womb.

“Recently, L gave me an ovulation pill, and I did it whenever I had a chance. It will probably win.”

“… Congratulations.”

It’s always happened.
The now unsurprising fact of her pregnancy was greeted with a courtesy from Karine.

Instead of responding appropriately to the formal celebration, Silnia continued to say something else.

“Originally, I also have a constitution that makes it difficult to conceive.”

The elf’s eyes, which had been looking at only water and bowls, turned to Karine.

“This is what happened because El gave me pills to get pregnant every time and she gave me white water.”

Karine’s face turned hot with her unexplained emotions.

“Sir, a lot of time has passed. Hernan must be having a hard time playing with her kids by herself. Finish soon…”

“You want some medicine too?”

An awkward smile appeared on Sylnia’s face for the first time.

“Aren’t you going to stay that way and leave?”

There were many times when she put a smile on her face.
But now that smile.
It was the first time I saw that smirk, like a Sharpie.

“Awesome! Bo, cheek cramps?”

Silnia lost her smile in an instant.
Karine also pulled her hand out of the water, losing her expression.

“Oh man, embarrassing. I’ll just swear at you and end it…”

Her elf muttered something, but Karine took off even her apron and turned around.

“Uh? Hey! I haven’t even finished washing half the dishes yet, where are you going!”

And she ran out of her kitchen.

Silnia grumbled as she looked at her door, from which Carine ran out.
She sighed over the heap of washing dishes.

“There are more and more things to wash as time goes on…”

* * *

Returning to her room, Carine opened the drawer of her bed.
Only the glass tube that sealed her divine blood and the black petals that had turned to powder were visible.

“Doesn’t exist.”

This time she rummaged through the clothes she had worn yesterday.

“None.”

Even the pockets of her clothes came out with only fallen fluff.

Carine of her frozen face searched her room as well as her workroom.
But she didn’t come out any more.

She just found an extra vial of sleeping pills, which she didn’t take well because she had developed a tolerance recently.

“Yesterday… Didn’t they give you ovulation pills?”

No matter how much she searches her memory, there is no such memory.
If she had eaten, Hernán would have told me this morning.

Then why didn’t you give it to me?

If you think rationally, it could be because the demon god warned you to use it with extreme caution.
The elves themselves are strong against poison, so they can survive even if they take ovulation pills every time, but it might not be the human side.

If not, it’s a bit unpleasant, but… It could be that they are trying to prevent a sudden change in the current class of women from causing problems.

“Surely so…”

The reason Silnia hinted at is Karine, who was slumped somewhere in her.
That is, she tried to forget her guess that Hernan avoided her pregnancy because she trusted you less than the other woman, she loved you less.

But as with most irrational and emotional reasons, the more I tried to forget her, the more intensely she came to mind.

“From now on… Even if you go out… I keep doing this…”

“Oh, hero?”

The warrior came to his senses.
Sitting on a throne in the same room across from the studio, she saw the demon king approaching.

“What are you doing here? Isn’t it your turn to wash the dishes this morning?”

“… Silnia said that she does everything by exercising.”

“Okay? Actually, even Silnia, these days she holds back even what she hates and does well.”

Sharpie smiled and came to the throne where Karine was sitting.
She must have been tired, seeing that the area under her eyes was quite dark.

“Then why are you walking around?”

“This body is off today!”

The demon king sat on his armrest with a happy face.

“How was yesterday? Are you very tired? Were you tired enough to leave all the dishes for Silnia?”

“I don’t know.”

Karine’s answer was close to tickling.
It was because I had no energy rather than the day was standing.

“Hmm… It seems that the hard work of making alcohol while lighting a magic fire in Potty’s laboratory was not rewarding.”

“I don’t remember because I was too drunk.”

The demon king asked the warrior more trivial questions.
It was like an old friend asking how my boyfriend and I are these days.

“I didn’t get the ovulation pill.”

In the end, Karine, who couldn’t stand it, spoke her words first.

“Just you are pregnant! You have a reason to have sex unconditionally because of regular supplementation, so it’s easy to get pregnant.”

The warrior on the throne hugged his head and murmured.

“Don’t be impulsive with a hopeless bitch.”

Carine wept as she buried her head over her chest.

“Can I tell Hernan? My Mawang-nim, I’m anxious to get pregnant, so don’t cover it in my mouth all the time, but in my stomach…”

“Carine.”

The sharpie’s tail wrapped around Carine’s shoulder.

“I can get pregnant if I want to.”

“Okay! You can have sex with Hernan anytime, so it’s easy! I’m not. I don’t know what’s wrong, but I’m not getting pregnant!”

The dreamer laughed at her inexplicable smile.
Carine, on the other hand, sobbed at her chagrin at her blessing.

“Strange. Why did the devil put a woman with infertility like me here? Is it just a bait to attract Hernán and other women?”

Curling her silver hair, the illegitimate princess suppressed her voice.

“Please get off. Go and get pregnant like the other bitches.”

“I already did.”

Karine raised her tear-stained face.
Across her wobbly vision, she saw the plain face of the Sharpie.

“You also… Did you do a lot with Hernan? Are you taking medicine?”

Silnia said she hadn’t put down the pregnancy test mark yet.
If so, Sharpie, like Silnia, might have guessed her pregnancy by her signs of morning sickness.

“No. You just said it.”

The dreamer smiled charmingly.

“I can get pregnant whenever I want. And vice versa.”

“Uh… ?”

“Because this body is a dream.”

Red eyes shone above the smile.

“You can get pregnant when you want and not get pregnant when you don’t want to. You can turn all the semen into magical power when you don’t want to.”

“You… You never said anything like that.”

“That’s right. I only said that it would change spirit into magical power.”

“Then the fact that you don’t become a queen…”

“That’s right. There is no need for this body to be in such a dangerous place. Fortina Silnia can do it for me.”

The dreamer winked at one of her eyes.

“Wouldn’t it be a big deal if this body, which is already getting attention, gets more attention? You must have been hated?”

Carine stared blankly at Sharpie.

But she soon came to her senses.
That Sharpie was trying to avoid her position as queen was something Karine could have guessed.
The fact that a dreamer who has sex with Hernan at any time gets pregnant more slowly than an elf is proof that the dreamer is self-controlled.

What’s unusual is that it’s closer to the information that the dreamer can arbitrarily control her pregnancy.

“Why are you telling me this?”

Information you don’t have to tell.
I don’t know what the demon king thought, but the hero did not deeply trust the demon king.

It’s helpful to stay close.

“This body must have told the hero?”

The demon king suddenly thrust his fist into Karine’s face.

“I’m saying I’ll tell the hero Karine-sama little by little.”

With those words, the Demon King slowly opened his fist.

“This?”

What was in the fist was a small pill.

“Uh, how?”

Carine opened his mouth when he saw the ovulation pill he wanted so much.
Sharpie just laughed and placed her finger on Karine’s lips as she took her medicine.

“Think of it as a dream. Say that the messenger of love, Mongma-nim, planted the baby seed.”

The hero with silver hair met eyes with the demon king with black hair.
The demon king put a woman who looked the exact opposite of him in his heart eyes and pushed his finger in.

“Congratulations on your pregnancy, Karine!”

The woman swallowed an ovulation pill.
