Chapter 90 – Chapter 87 – The Throne Is Too Narrow 2 (2)

Carine came out of the room alone at night when everyone was asleep.
Insomnia since Hernan stopped coming to her room.
It is usually a troublesome uninvited guest who only brings pain.

However, from Karine’s point of view, who has to move around secretly, she is not necessarily a bad guest.

She hurried to her feet, holding her belly steady.
Everyone is asleep, but there are quite a few pregnant women who have a large belly now.

As a pregnant woman usually wakes up frequently at night due to a compressed bladder, she may encounter it.
Forty who asked me to make cookies would not know, but I hate meeting a quick-witted and clever demon king.

Fortunately, I didn’t hear the door opening while crossing the hallway.
Instead, only the faint sound of Karine opening her special room filled the space.

“Whoa…”

Since there are only two people in the boat, even such a simple movement is daunting.

Is that rabbit really that hard?
I got pregnant with two of them that year.

Karine erased the thought that came to her mind and she gritted her teeth.
What would you do with these thoughts now?

Anyway, Forty treats Hernan like a treasure, so there is no inconvenience.
Every morning, he brings the princess in his arms, and he does most of the washing.

On the other hand, since she was pregnant, she has been working on an independent craft every day.

Her wild thoughts make her breath quicker.
Carine decided that she should rest for a while and looked for a place for her to sit.

Then she immediately saw two places.

A small chair to sit on while working on art.
And the overbearing throne.

After wandering between the two chairs for a moment, she soon moved on to her steps.

“It’s cold.”

The metal throne was quite chilly.
But at the same time, it helped her cool her head, which was burning with anger and tension.

She looked around this audience room while seated on her throne.

To be honest, it’s a very boring space.

The part of the studio right in front is full of various items, and just looking at it brings up various thoughts and memories.
On the other hand, there is only one throne here, so you have to fill it with your imagination.

In the past, he would have imagined the nobility and servants of the kingdom lined up, and himself and Hernan proudly standing in the middle.

But now that future is nothing short of a terrible curse.
Rather, when Karine ascends the throne, Hernán will completely leave for the land of demons.

When she first heard about it, she thought about stopping it.
But if he did, he could use the method that Hernán said at the beginning, that is, lie that he served the devil and save the rest.

Hernán, who cares so much about his children, is likely to do so even at the cost of his life.

As her thoughts reached there, Karine felt a sudden uneasiness.

What if the Forty Unborn Child gets hurt because of what she is trying to do now?
And what if she finds out that the cause is herself?

Goosebumps creep up on her arms.
The fact that Hernan will be angry is clear.

The question is, how angry will you be?
She may be more angry than she is when she is framed for brainwashing magic.

And a little bit.
Even if it was just a little bit, she felt uncomfortable about harming a child who looked like Hernán.

I’ve never had a feeling like this before.
Is it because the children reveal the image of the man they love little by little as they grow up?

Or, after losing Hernán, strangely, I kept thinking from someone else’s point of view?

Carine shook her head and rose from her seat.
I’m lost in my thoughts in the middle of the night for no reason, so I feel weak.

Now is the moment to act.
It’s time to save yourself if you stay still.

She left her special room behind and went down to her kitchen.
Turn on the fire there and knead the flour.

Sweat flowed and her stomach tightened, but the hero endured it and repeated her familiar behavior.

“This should be enough.”

Soon enough cookie dough was ready.
Now we can add a present for the rabbit here.

The Demon King took out the chocolate he had told Potty not to feed.

The only ones who know all the ingredients here are Hernan and herself.
She, too, would be forgetting that these ingredients exist, since he, too, is mainly concerned with food ingredients for the children.

Karine carefully struck it down with her knife, creating tiny pieces.

And put it deep in the cookie dough…

“…”

Karine paused for a moment.

From earlier on, the thought of what to do if Hernán’s child was harmed had been swirling in her head.

Her hands tremble
At the same time, the chocolate melted due to body heat and released a strong scent.

Sweet yet bitter scent.

The hero, Karine, stayed that way for a while before moving her hand.
She divided her cookie dough in two.

Then she started putting the chocolate on one side only.

* * *

After everyone’s breakfast.
Hernan got up with his Sharpie’s portion of food, as was customary now.

Potty saw him off and shook his hand.

“Bye.”

An attitude that is certain that Hernán will return to him.
He smiled lightly and nodded his head.

“I’ll be back soon. If you suddenly want to go to the bathroom, tell another woman. Because I will come out.”

“Okay, it’s okay. Because I went before dinner.”

Poti sent Hernán away and turned his head to the child next to him.

Her child was sitting in the chair right next to her, munching on dried fruit.

“It is delicious?”

Potty’s son, Una, grinned at his mother’s voice, baring her dainty front teeth.
Potty smiled joyfully as she noticed the resemblance to Hernán in her child’s face.

“Forties.”

Potty, who was giving her child little by little fruit, turned her head at the voice calling her.

“Saint?”

The saintess approached the back of the chair where Potty’s child was sitting.

Where it used to be.
It is also the place where Potty’s eldest son has become in the past few days.

“How is the boat?”

“Joe, that sounds good. Of course, it’s very heavy and difficult to move, but…”

“Do you have any pain or strange feeling?”

Potty laughed.

“I am really fine. And if something goes wrong, you have the right to wish, right?”

The saintess nodded her head with a slight hesitation at those words.
Then Potty’s child took her seat and opened her mouth.

“And Potty… Would you mind adjusting her seat?”

“A seat?”

Forty pricked up her ears and looked at her Marina.
As if the gaze was a bit burdensome, the saintess turned her eyes away and answered, avoiding those gazes.

“Yes. Why don’t we set aside a separate seat for the children?”

Children alone?

Forty she saw her son eating the fruit pricking her ears just like herself.

Recently, Potina Sharpie has grown so big that she can no longer hold her child, and the need arises to seat her child separately.

Naturally, the child ended up sitting next to her mother.
As a result, Silnia, Marina, and Carine, who were sitting next to Sharpie and Potty, were pushed aside one by one.

Forty recalled that fact and replied bluntly.

“Seo, are you dissatisfied with being separated from El?”

“It doesn’t necessarily mean that. Maybe as the children grow up, it will take more and more hands…”

The saintess continued to explain the reason, but in Poti’s ears it only sounded like dissatisfaction because she had been pushed out of a position close to Hernán.

Poti twitched her ears and looked at Hernán’s place.

Where the king of this place sits.
He briefly sat himself or a sharpie.

Although it was a bit embarrassing when Hernán first took the position, it’s only natural when you think about it.

If the king does not sit at the highest seat, who sits?

And it is right that the woman who shares the deepest love with him should take a seat next to him.

Her very queen, Poti herself, is well suited for the position.

“Forties? Did you hear me?”

“Ho, are you saying this because I am the queen?”

“Yes?”

The saintess put on a blank expression for a moment at the totally irrelevant answer.
But soon she got a stern expression on her face and she said thoughtfully.

“I didn’t mean to talk to Potty in that sense. However, since Potty is close to Hernan, who has the strongest speaking power here, she will be of help if she persuades Potty.”

Potty felt a little lifted by her words.
Chewing on that sensation, Potty involuntarily brought out the words of her refusal.

“But I want my child by my side?”

Marina was silent for a moment and looked at Potty.
Potty felt her heart race in case she noticed that he had deliberately refused.

Should I apologize and do it now?
But I like this new sensation…

As Forty hesitated, unable to make her quick decision, Marina softened her expression.

“The new baby, of course, will have to be next to Potty. However, for children who can sit alone, women take turns…”

The saintess’ words did not carry on to the end.
It wasn’t that Potty was in the way.
It was just because a new person came.

“I have something to tell you.”

Carine looked sideways at the saintess standing next to her table and said to Potty.

“Ah…”

Potty thought of a reason for Karine to talk to him alone.

The cookie you secretly asked me to make.
As much as Hernan forbade the hero to come into her kitchen, she didn’t really think he would.

But surprisingly, it seemed that she had decided to listen to her own words.

As the stream of her thoughts flowed there, Potty once again felt her elation welling up to the tips of her long ears.

Even the hero must have tasted this feeling when he first came here, commanding freely and harassing people, right?

“Hero.”

Now, a title with only the meaning of ridicule.
When Potty mentioned the word hero, Karine’s face hardened.

“If you’re busy now, I’ll come later.”

“No. Just in case, I also have a request.”

Upon hearing her words, the saintess was taken aback for a moment.
The hero quietly watched the saintess and Forty with a puzzled expression.

“I have a child right now, isn’t it getting bigger?”

“… So?”

Potty continued to speak toward the hero, who was holding back his displeasure as much as possible.

“If you do this, the women’s seats will be pushed to the side one by one, right?”

The hero glanced at the seat he was sitting on.
She, too, was pushed down a notch, with Poti’s child taking Marina’s place.

He must have been furious because he was farther away from Hernán, but he was one more place away from him.

The hero looked interested in his eyes and nodded his head.

“So what do you want to say?”

Potty laughed.
And she repeated what the saintess had said.

But at the end of it she added another word.

“Instead, the warrior takes care of those children.”

“I… ?”

A wild emotion flashed in the hero’s eyes.
Fear rose for a moment, but Forty continued talking.

“Yes. Yo, if the hero does that, won’t El see it with good eyes?”

Karine pondered for a moment, then frowned and she tried to say no.

“No…”

“And.”

Blocking Karine, who was about to refuse her, Potty made one more offer.

“If you do that, I will help you advance your seat when the hero is in the rank of concubine.”

I will work with Carine, who is in the last seat, to sit closer to Hernán.

Of course, it was up to Hernán to allow that, but from the hero’s point of view, it seemed like a very tempting proposal.

But she bit her lip and clenched her fist.

“What does that mean? After all, you have to be in the back seat when you take care of the kids.”

“If you are dissatisfied, Silnia or…”

Forty glanced at her saintess.

“Ah, anyway, you can take turns with someone else, right? I have no intention of letting go of my child, so I will replace it from time to time.”

If you only ask Karine too much, there is a high possibility that Hernan will sanction you.
But he wouldn’t object to what Carine does the most, right?

Because the warrior won’t be able to get pregnant anymore.

“No.”

But this time, the hero refused.

“Even if you do that, you won’t be sitting right next to El. Silnia, who will be pushed out of her position, will also rebel.”

Even if you die, you don’t tell me if you can’t get pregnant again.
Rather, it would be more reasonable to point it out.

Potty thought so and smiled.

“No. I’ll let Elba sit right next to her.”

The hero seemed to have forgotten what he had come for.
Potty smiled at the bemused expression.
