Chapter 232 – 21. The Broad-Minded Mother-in-Law, the Female Knight, and the Tanning Bully Sister-in-Law

“Huh?”

Charperia, who was looking at the documents, tilted her head.

“Why is that, my queen?”

The lady-in-waiting said as if she were curious.

“Sir Rubelstone paid half.”

“Sir Rubelstone… Are you talking about the Count? Captain of the Guard?”

“Huh.”

Count Kriemhild Rubelstone, Commander of the Royal Guard.

Even if she is a workaholic, she has an understandable disposition and rarely takes vacations. She sometimes takes a day off every few months, and other than that, she is a loyalist who does the duties of the royal guard and the count well even while resting when there is something important to the family.

If she took a vacation, she would rather take a vacation, and half a vacation was not common.

“Hmm.”

“Are you concerned? If you’re concerned, investigate…”

“Eh, that’s okay. I’m going to investigate something like this. The reason must be obvious anyway.”

“…Okay.”

The lady-in-waiting complied with the queen’s words.

Because she was thinking the same thing.

“Huh, yes. In the end, you seem to have made up your mind completely.”

“That’s a good thing.”

“Sure. That’s a good thing.”

The smirking Queen Charperia.

It is she who has been trying to connect her Siu and her since the beginning of her life.

A different appearance from the last vacation, and Siwoo’s whereabouts as he often visited the Royal Guard building after that. Charperia had noticed little by little since then. She was waiting for fear that she would get a crush on her by rushing to push her, but things finally worked out.

“Then let’s not think about that any more. He’ll take care of it.”

“You’re right.”

“Rather than that… This is the problem after all.”

A document that the Queen sneakily picked up.

There were names with great weight written on them.

SS class hero Han So-young and her party.

A-class hero Han Ji-na and her party.

And the mother of Belluna, the sorceress of Han Gina’s party.

Names you can’t help but care about.

All these personnel visit the Kingdom of Palania.

“When did you say you were coming?”

“Originally, it was scheduled for next week, but due to some circumstances, they said it would come in two weeks.”

“Huh? Ejaculation?”

It was an incomprehensible word.

Even if it’s just the heroine Han So-young, she wants to come as soon as possible, and somehow delayed it with the excuse of reconciling her opinions. Considering the weight of the name SS class warrior, it is because it is difficult to visit other countries for reasons other than missions.

But why was it delayed by a week?

“Do you know anything?”

“Hmm, I heard at first glance that one of the Emperor’s children tried to interfere in a strange way…”

“…To an SS-class hero? Huh.”

The succession plan is more complex than expected.

‘I should understand, but she should have been more careful when dealing with an SS-class hero.’

Moreover, it is not the other person, but Han So-yeong.

He has a good personality and is friendly with most of the high-ranking nobles, and can control Adlen, another SS-class hero. If she had her head, she wouldn’t have done such a stupid thing hastily, but did she have a reason or was she really stupid?

“But it’s two weeks. We’ll be a little more comfortable. We’ve got some time to prepare, right?”

“First of all, since the name of the visit is to visit and tour the adopted son, let’s plan a great tour course.”

“Yes, please.”

According to the relationship that Han So-young had heard from Si-woo, it would not be a big deal even if he entertained them casually.

However, she looks bad on the outside and is much better to be liked.

‘Both publicly and privately… ♡’

Charperia stroked her swollen stomach.

Perhaps, by the time this child is born, the great movement of the Han Siu Harem Cartel will take place.

– Really. It’s ridiculous, whoa.

She lets out a sigh in her annoyance.

Han Xiu smiled at her and soothed her.

“He’s an idiot, well. I can’t stand it.”

-Yes, if my son is patient, I will be patient♡

“Haha. But thanks to that, I got a justification. Didn’t I?”

– Huhu, that’s right. After all, I thought half a year was too short. Thanks to you, I can stay for a year.

“One year… I think postpartum care should be enough.”

-Really.

The gaze that was lovingly looking at Siwoo turned downward.

Compared to just last month, my stomach is quite full.

It can be misunderstood as gaining weight, but that is absolutely impossible for an SS-class hero.

Thanks to this, Han So-young had to use her magic to hide her swollen belly. In particular, among the people she hung out with, there were many people with high levels of knowledge, so she was using very expensive artifacts. Of course, that much of her money didn’t inspire her much.

This was also the reason she wanted to come to the Kingdom of Palania.

To hide the fact, at least until the birth.

Previously, she used various excuses to take her half a year so that she could rest for a month or two after giving birth, but thanks to her second prince, a year seemed possible. She just has to put off her excuses that she was going to use and use them as excuses for a few months.

When her birth is near, she will continue to send people from the Empire, but what can they do if they say they don’t want to see her face. As you can see from her retirement incident, Han So-young was really stubborn in her own way.

Of course, there is also her adoptive son, Siu, whom she misses so much.

– It helps my son too. Yes?

“It’s a lot. This wasn’t even intended… Well. This must have accelerated the downfall of her second prince by at least two months.”

Siwoo looked at Han Soyoung’s dream and smiled at her.

Because of her 2nd prince’s mistake, SS-class hero Han So-yeong is forced into the Kingdom of Palania.

It would be a very angry situation for the empire.

Not to Han So-young, but to her second prince.

-That’s good.

She was being a nuisance now, but after she was done lamenting about her grateful second prince anyway, she was about to move on to everyday talk. But then she turned her head to the back of her fuss and furrowed her brow.

-Ugh. I have to go already for a meeting.

When I touched the ring I was wearing, the slightly protruding belly disappeared in an instant.

-Then I’ll leave Mamang alone, son.

“Okay, have a good meeting and call me back later.”

-Yes~♡

Soon, the video call with Han So-young was disconnected.

Siu, who had stored her exclusive communication crystal orb in one corner of the room, stood up from her seat.

The phone call ended earlier than expected, so she had some time to spare, but she thought of leaving right away because the time was ambiguous.

Elaine, who ran into him while going out of the mansion, asked him while looking at him.

“Where are you going, Siwoo?”

“To the Rubelstone mansion?”

“Yes? Ah, come to think of it… Huhu, come have fun♡”

It’s not that you have to be careful, it’s that you have fun.

Siu smiled at her and waved her hand at her.

Inside the carriage heading to the mansion.

It may happen soon, but because of the story he heard while talking to Han So-young on the phone, the smile did not erase from his lips.

It was because of the second prince who made the worst handshake ever. I wonder what the hell he was thinking that touched Han So-young’s heart. Even in her imperial court, the focus was on her speedy return rather than moderately placating her and letting her go.

It was also through a fairly public statement.

If you don’t do it right, it may seem that Han So-young and the Glaser Imperial family are experiencing a feud.

‘Empire knew that, so they must have been talking secretly… It’s great to get the information, but the handling is stupid.’

Because of the dirty personality of the 2nd prince, he only has few closest aides, but he has many brains.

There are only three staff members assigned by the 3rd Empress right now, and her 7th Princess Linda is also the owner of her extraordinary hair.

Did you think it was the number of conversions?

“Really stupid.”

“We have arrived, warrior.”

“Yes, good work.”

When I got out of the carriage at the coachman’s words, I saw a mansion that I had come back to many times and was familiar with by now.

Upon entering, three people greeted him.

“Welcome, Siwoo’s son-in-law.”

Mother Kriemhild Rubelstone.

“Siwoo-nim, are you here?”

The eldest daughter, Hildear Rubelstone.

“No, hello… Oppa.”

To her younger daughter, Claudia Rubelstone.

Three mothers and daughters of the prestigious Rubelstone family in Palania.

Instead of the hard armor they usually wear, they wore gorgeous dresses.

The overall concept is unified, but the details are different. It’s also fun to look around and find something different. As expected, the most different things were the body and breasts.

“I came a little early, but everyone is at the mansion.”

“I was preparing by paying half a car. Me and my younger daughter too.”

“Aha.”

“If Siu-in-law doesn’t mind, I’d like to have a meal earlier. How about that?”

At Kriemhild’s question, he checked the time.

5pm.

It’s a little early, but there’s nothing wrong with starting to eat early.

“Yes, I like it.”

The four of them headed to the restaurant.

A table large enough to seat at least dozens of people, as is always the case in large dining halls in mansions like this.

As if the meal was almost ready, several servants were making their way back and forth preparing food.

The appearance was a little strange, so I asked Kriemhild.

“Did you know I was coming?”

“It’s not like that. I just prepared it with an hour to spare and then preserved it with magic. Oh, are you not reluctant to use preservation magic? Sometimes, there are people who don’t like food that has been preserved with preservation magic.”

“Oh, I’m fine.”

“Yes, I’m glad.”

I hope there is a way I just got a little embarrassed.

I didn’t even know there was such a thing because I didn’t pay attention to places like this.

Seeing Siwoo make an embarrassed expression, Hildear laughed.

“It’s okay, Siwoo-nim. I didn’t know that either.”

“No, that’s not very comforting.”

“That’s right.”

The two men and women met eyes at the moment. A faint smile appeared on both of their lips.

It was then.

“Sister-in-law Siu.”

“Yes?”

“Sit here, not there.”

“But there…”

Siwoo looked at the place where he pulled out the chair to sit down and the place where Kriemhild pointed at with bewildered eyes. The seat the Count recommended to him was none other than the end of the decorative table, that is, the seat of honor.

Originally, the head of the family, the owner of the mansion, and those with high authority should sit. Naturally, he was going to sit next to Hildear, but now he looked at Kriemhild. And he agreed to listen to her soon.

“All right.”

“Whoops.”

Kriemhildt smiled pleasantly.

Judging by the slightly serious look in his eyes, he understood his intentions.

A little nervous even as she spoke, her heart pounded.

‘Whoa. I am… I’m doing well.’

Didn’t you already make an appointment with Siu’s son-in-law?

I would literally give it my all.

She was arguably ready to do most of this for her own man.

The meal began with Siwoo sitting at the highest table, followed by the three mothers and daughters in turn.

They ate calmly, as if no one remembered their plans for the night.

The only tanned woman, Claudia, was clearly nervous.

“Mmm, this is delicious.”

“It’s a special dish of the eastern kingdom. The meat you’re eating right now is a specialty of our territory.”

“Ah, that’s the cow. I’ve heard of the black cattle of the Rubel Stone estate.”

“Oh, that’s nice.”

They share a friendly conversation and eat a delicious dinner together.

After the meal, we spent time talking with fruits and after-dinner drinks.

Then, the first to show an attitude was Han Si-woo.

“Well, I’ve had some drinks and I’m hot. I need to wash up.”

Flinch.

The three mothers and daughters trembled as if they were in harmony, and Siu stood up and looked around at them and spoke softly.

“Then, who can wash with me?”

“…”

Three hands slipped up.
