721 – The Honeymoon Never Ends – 6

I groaned and got up. I was only able to regain my strength after concentrating on rest for two days.

I’m ashamed and embarrassed. At best, I went on a trip alone with Karl, and considering how amazing Karl is, it’s an opportunity that doesn’t come twice in a lifetime… But two days of that golden opportunity were blown into thin air.

‘You idiot.’

But no one could complain. I couldn’t even complain to Karl who pushed me like this.

Because I was the one who brought this situation on myself. Because I was the one who sprinkled plenty of fertilizer on the already strong sword.

‘Why on earth did you do that?’

Before I knew it, my cheeks felt hot. It was entirely thanks to Carl that I got the treasure called pedi as soon as I got married. I forgot that strong memory from three years ago and ended up feeding Carl foods he shouldn’t have.

It seems that his memory has faded due to Carl’s gentle treatment of him over the past three years. Otherwise, there’s no way you could make a mistake like this.

Still, thanks to my arrogant mistake, I was able to obtain a certain treasure.

“Nar.”

While stroking my stomach, I muttered the name of our second child, the name given to me by Karl.

Of course, I have not yet been diagnosed with a second child. Now it’s been two days since we made love, so how can I know? At this point, only God can know of Nar’s existence.

But why? Maybe it’s because I’ve had a pedi once, but I had a gut feeling that Nar would be in my arms this time too.

‘I guess this is a mother’s heart?’

Even if I am a first-time mother, a mother is a mother. The experience of having a child is an immortal achievement that will never fade.

Maybe that’s why the corners of my mouth went up without me knowing. The faint pain disappeared, and uncontrollable happiness came.

“Pedi looks a lot like her father her her her her, so wouldn’t it be better for her to be born as a daughter who looks like her her mother her her her?”

Eventually, I remembered what Carl had said and burst into laughter.

A daughter who looks like me. A daughter born with red hair like me or green eyes. It’s a happy thing to even imagine.

If such a daughter were born, her father would also be happy. Pedi, who has more of Karl’s blood than me, is also a very cute father. How happy would she be if she had a granddaughter who inherited my characteristics?

‘It would be nice to have a son.’

Of course, this mother would like it if my Nar were a son instead of a daughter. It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t look like her mom and looks exactly like her dad.

So, please be born next spring with us. Mom will be happy with just that. Your maternal grandfather and grandmother, as well as your grandfather and grandmother, will definitely be like that.

– Knockknock

“Mar. Are you awake?”

“Oh, yes! I’m awake!”

While I was stroking my stomach for a while, I heard a knock on the door and the voice of Karl, who had briefly gone outside.

“Well… I happen to have a guest. Is it okay if I come in with you?”

“Are you a guest?”

And I blinked blankly at the next words.

Not the Empire, but Carl’s guest in Zereno? And that too in a situation where you are enjoying a private trip rather than an official visit?

“Yes, it’s okay. Please come in.”

Although the situation was difficult to understand, an answer was quickly returned.

If Carl brought us to our room, he had a good reason. Carl is not a man who acts without reason, and he is not a man who takes our trip lightly.

If it was a trivial matter or an unpleasant customer, Carl would have taken care of it. It is only right to welcome a customer with a smile if he or she passes the standard for a knife.

“I’m sorry. I happened to meet you as a guest.”

“Excuse me…”

“Excuse me.”

As soon as he saw the guests coming in with the knife, his head his froze.

A blonde woman and a silver-haired woman who appeared to be around the same age as me. A blonde woman with a lively appearance but a hesitant look and a silver-haired woman bowing in a polite manner.

‘A customer, a woman?’

An anxiety that was difficult to express in words came over me. It may be a somewhat late honeymoon, but two women intervened during the couple’s honeymoon? And women of similar age to me?

What? What kind of situation is this? I know very well that Karl is not the type of person to do that, but even though I trust him, I cannot trust the other women. Because a man as charming as Karl is worthy of being liked by anyone.

Thanks to his incredible charm, Carl has six wives, including me. As soon as I became a lover with Karl, I started having new lovers one after another.

“Mar? Are you okay?”

“Oh, yes, it’s okay.”

When I looked at the three people without saying anything, Carl asked worriedly.

Actually, it’s not okay. I wanted to rush at those two right away and ask them why they were interfering with our trip and whether they were aiming for the seventh or eighth time.

But I endured it. I am the mistress of the Crasius family and a member of the Barenti duchy. I, the bearer of the names of two families, cannot commit such an unsignified act. I don’t want to appear violent in front of a knife.

Besides, I can’t raise my voice when I think of Nar in my mother’s arms. My Nar, how surprised I would be if I heard the shouting as soon as I entered my mother’s boat.

“By the way, I should start with introductions. This is Alice, the first princess of Zereno, and next to her is Miss Beryl Rosen, Alice’s maid.”

?

“Yes?”

Yes?

Only quiet silence and exchange of glances filled the room.

Still, the anger and anxiety that had been burning so hot until now subsided in an instant. I just feel embarrassed and awkward about the princess’s unexpected visit to her.

‘Princess Alice.’

At the same time, I quickly racked my brain and recalled my memories of Princess Alice.

The Kingdom of Zereno is a country adjacent to the empire and boasts one of the wealthiest countries on the continent. As the first princess of such a kingdom, I have quite a bit of information about Princess Alice.

Although she is far from the throne because she has two older brothers, she is a princess who takes advantage of her remote location to live freely. She chose the path of a knight because she admired the sword, and she was a warrior who volunteered to suppress pirates.

‘Ah.’

The answer came right away. There was an answer to this strange situation in the information.

‘It’s respect.’

A warrior who chose the path of a knight despite being a princess. A person like that cannot help but be interested in strong warriors, and it is natural for him to show great respect for the sword, which is said to be the best sword in the continent.

When I looked closely, I saw that Princess Alice’s eyes, as she glanced at the sword, showed feelings of respect, not love. The maid named Beryl had no thoughts. It’s so embarrassing that I’ve only just noticed this.

‘I’m sure.’

How many people have I seen showing affection for Carl? I wonder if I can’t even tell that much.

Before promising to marry Karl, there was a time when she faced a crisis due to a swarm of powerful rivals and numerous rivals. Thanks to you, I have sharpened my eyes to distinguish between my enemies and my allies. Those eyes are shouting that Princess Alice is harmless.

“I heard that Her Majesty Alice is someone who walks the path of a knight for the kingdom and her subjects. I guess Enen is blessing us if we meet someone like that on our travels?”

That’s why I opened my mouth with a smile.

If he is a harmless person, he does not need to be on guard. Rather, it is an opportunity to build a good relationship with a princess from another country.

“Thank you…”

“Please speak less, my Majesty. I don’t feel comfortable when you treat me with respect.”

“Oh, no! I showed up unexpectedly and was rude, so how can I have the audacity to say something!”

The shame of knowing that your visit is rude. I am satisfied because it is different from any other royals I know.

“It’s rude. We came to a foreign country not only to see new scenery, but also because we wanted to meet new people. It’s nice to see you, Princess, isn’t it?”

Princess Alice’s eyes sparkled as if she was touched by my words.

She is a pure person. Maybe it’s because the person you respect is right in front of you and you’re talking to the wife of the person you respect, so you’re showing off your naivety.

Of course, it doesn’t matter either way. It doesn’t change that Princess Alice is friendly to us.

“Knife.”

“Huh?”

“I had no idea that Karl would be this famous even outside of the empire. Alice, she is a person who is highly respected in Zereno, and she came all the way here just to see Karl.”

“I was so grateful that I invited him to my room, but I was embarrassed because I didn’t have anything to give him.”

Karl smiled as if he was shy, but he had a quick conversation with me through his eyes. Because there can be as much silent conversation between me and Karl.

“So, Carl. Since you happen to be a military officer, how about making a small gift?”

“Yes?”

Princess Alice tilted her head at the word gift.

It’s not an expensive and grandiose gift, but if you admire the knife passionately, you’ll definitely like it.

***

The princess who left for Narvesia has returned.

‘I lived.’

As soon as I heard the news, I let out a sigh of relief. If your Majesty has rushed to Narvesia, it would be right to send additional personnel for the sake of the princess’s well-being and the Minister’s peace of mind, but if you send people for no reason, you may irritate the Minister. Thanks to that, I couldn’t do this or that and just prayed.

Fortunately, the prayer seemed to have reached Enen, and the princess returned on her own. Even though the minister and his wife were still traveling, they came obediently.

“Minister of Foreign Affairs! Look at this! The best sword on the continent personally! Signed by me! It’s a sword!”

‘Ah.’

However, ‘Please be careful to avoid something like this in the future.’ I went to visit the princess to say this, and when I saw her swinging the sword around her, I despaired.

It is true that he came back on his own, but he did not come obediently. Her Majesty, the Princess, had come back with her discovered and in contact with the Minister.

[I hope that Zereno’s greatest heroine, Alice Newdo, will have brilliant glory and beautiful chivalry in her future path. Carl Crasius of Tyglehen. ]

‘Ah…’

I closed my eyes tightly at the bold black letters written on the blade.

[If you make any personal contact, I will kill you like Leon. ]

Now, I am reminded of the notice from the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, of which I cannot even remember the original.

‘I should take a vacation… Right?’

No, I will definitely use it. Considering the storm ahead, we need to take a break and take a break.

Otherwise, I will die from overwork.

“I wanted to show them how to cut down the sky, but I couldn’t use it carelessly in a foreign country, so I said I was sorry! That’s really considerate, isn’t it!?”

I almost collapsed at the sound of the princess’s bright voice

If the sky of Narvesia had split, His Majesty the King would have fainted on his throne.

‘Should I retire… ?’

The letter of resignation that the minister had been carrying around in his arms every day since his arrival he cried out.

I feel sorry for my successor when I retire, but honestly, my mental health takes priority over my successor, who I don’t know who he will be.
