Chapter 2251 – 2251. Maehwageomsu Reincarnated in the Count’s Family
We decided to use the warp gate to go to the royal palace. This is a warp gate created by Yuria and the dragon Priscilla throughout the Western Continent. It requires a large amount of mana to use once, so I don’t use it unless it’s urgent. This time, I decided to use the warp gate since it was troublesome to move.
Before I left, I went to see Yuria. My wife, maid, and hostess of this mansion, she spent most of her time on the large terrace with a good view of the garden, except when working.
I entered the terrace with a clear sky view. On one side, there was a small swimming pool filled with water, and on the other side, maids with musical instruments were playing classical music.
Yuria was comfortably leaning back on an armchair placed in the shade. She was wearing a white, thin, comfortable dress, and her abdomen was very bulging. It was natural since she was a full-term pregnant woman. Of course, even though she had a belly, her beauty was still the same.
Melissa was holding Yuria’s servant. She was sitting next to her eating Shine Muscat grapes. When I approached her, she just waved her hand and opened the book on the table. On the cover of the book I glanced at, I saw the title ‘How a concubine lives.’ She tried to ignore it and turned her gaze to Yuria.
“How is your body?”
“Great. I paid more attention to my diet and drastically reduced my workload. Rather, I would say it is difficult because there is nothing to do.”
“I need to rest for the sake of my child. You can completely let go of work. There is Nepia.”
“Nepia is a trustworthy maid. But as the mistress of the manor, as the Duchess of Prucus, she cannot do nothing.”
“You can’t stop me from doing what I want to do. Is there anything you want to eat?”
“Well. “There is nothing in particular.”
They say pregnant women are sensitive… Yuria has never been like that. She has never had morning sickness, and she has never asked for something to be brought to her because she wants to eat it.
Be considerate of me. She probably isn’t. Because her body does not belong to an ordinary person. Besides, doesn’t she have her own spirit?
“What about fruits like strawberries or peaches?”
Strawberries are in winter. Peaches are summer. These were not fruits that could be eaten all year round.
“I’m eating when I want to. “Because it’s stored in the warehouse.”
That’s right. All fruits are stored in warehouses. Even if you don’t have one, there are a few smart farms that you can harvest right away by using Heville’s accelerant.
“I’m going to the kingdom for a while.”
“It’s because of the mission from the Eastern Continent.”
“Oh, I knew it too.”
“Yes. “Most news within the kingdom is reported to me.”
She was handling most of the things I had to deal with, so it was only natural. Of course, Yuria’s job right now is only about final approval.
“What should I do?”
“As always. “You can do whatever the master wants.”
Yuria smiles while stroking her pregnant belly. I also reached out my hand and carefully stroked Yuria’s stomach. I feel her life. Me and Yuria’s daughter were in this.
How do you know she’s your daughter?
The gender of the baby can also be determined by ultrasound. I wonder if Yuria won’t be able to figure out the gender of the baby in her stomach.
“Master. Do you know that?”
Melissa, who was sitting next to her, opened her mouth.
“What?”
“In Felice, on the eastern continent, there is a blue peach called Leritri, which is said to be good for pregnant women and their unborn babies. It is said that pregnant women are blessed with disease-free longevity, and special blessings are bestowed on the unborn child, making him or her an outstanding person. As her husband. As the owner of the Western Continent, don’t you plan on giving that blue peach to your wife as a gift?”
“Balm. That’s a superstition. Master. There is no need to listen to what Melissa says seriously.”
I know Melissa talks nonsense.
But this world was a fantasy world. The elixir actually exists, and Yuria and I have benefited greatly from it.
Superstition? There was a possibility of it being true in this world.
“Balm. “Where did you get that information?”
“It’s a book. Aren’t there all kinds of books in the library? “I discovered it while reading books related to pregnancy.”
“It was an old book.”
Yuria spoke clearly.
“Master. If Lerytri really existed, there’s no way rumors wouldn’t have spread all the way to the Western Continent. There is no need to suffer after listening to Melissa.”
“No, let’s take this opportunity to look for it.”
“But…”
I bent down and brought her and Yuria to eye level. I am reflected in Yuria’s blue eyes.
“Uh huh. “I said I would act like a husband, but my wife talks a lot.”
“… Just having my master by my side is enough.”
“I will be by your side. “There is a space movement order.”
I hold Yuria’s cheek and stroke it. Yuria’s eyes immediately opened, and her cheeks heated up slightly. Her moist lips came into my field of vision. I narrowed the distance between her faces and kissed her.
Their lips rubbed and their breath mixed. As her tongue began to interact, she felt a slightly burdensome gaze and dropped it. Melissa was looking this way as if she was shocked.
It doesn’t matter if I ignore it… If this continues, Melissa will get upset. It will be more troublesome to appease Melissa later.
“There are only about 15 days left until the expected delivery date. You know?”
“You can’t know. “They’re even preparing for the festival.”
The festival will be held all week that day. Alcohol and meat were provided free of charge to commoners. I normally don’t do festivals like this, but since it was the birth of Yuria and my daughter, I decided to do it. Melissa also actively pushed for it.
“I just need to know.”
After massaging Yuria and Melissa’s breasts, I left the terrace.

Gwiitan was the representative of the delegation that came from the Kingdom of Torne in the Eastern Continent to the Kingdom of Rapelli. Although the title was Viscount, it was certain that if this task was completed well, the title would be promoted.
The delegation arrived at the royal palace three days ago, was welcomed by Queen Rapelli and enjoyed a banquet.
And today. The nobles of the Kingdom of La Pellie gathered at the palace, and the delegation formally received an audience with her queen.
‘I sent someone in advance to deliver the news even before arriving at the port on the West Continent. I hope all the nobles of the Rapelli Kingdom will attend.’
Kwiitan entered the throne room with his delegation colleagues.
The queen sat on her throne and calmly looked down on her delegation, while the nobles of the Kingdom of La Felli looked at the delegation to her left and right.
Gwiitan swallowed quietly. He does not know the details of the circumstances of the Rapelli Kingdom. However, I know that the Kingdom of Rapelli is the strongest country in the western continent.
He focused on Queen Eileen. She is the former king’s younger sister, who took over the throne when the king died of a heart attack a few months ago. Although she was very young, her cool-headed charisma was evident in her unruffled posture.
“Queen of Rapelli, I request the dispatch of troops to the Kingdom of Rapelli on behalf of King Thorn.”
“I know that Thorn is at war with the Kingdom of Kairak over hegemony of the eastern continent. However, that is only a matter of the Eastern Continent. There is no reason for Rapelli of the West Continent to get involved in the war.”
Queen Eileen said clearly.
He wasn’t disappointed. If they had really tried to refuse to send troops, they would not have accepted them from the beginning.
The nobles’ eyes are shining. We are calculating the benefits we will receive in return for sending Tornre soldiers. He had to tell them the benefits they would gain if they helped the Kingdom of Torn.
What Kwiitan offered as bait was technological prowess. There was a difference in technological development between the western and eastern continents. Although the difference is not that big, technology for large ships that travel between continents will be coveted. After the war ended and stability was restored, the nobles would want money. After guaranteeing the rights to the Lapelli nobles, their eyes lit up, and they made a mantra to the queen.
“Her Majesty the Queen. Torn is friendly to Rapellie. Only by helping them will trade between countries become more active.”
“If the Kingdom of Torn wins the war, it will become the owner of the Eastern Continent. The Kingdom of Torn is fully qualified to become an ally of our Kingdom of Rapelli.”
“Even if Your Majesty refuses, I am willing to send 15 knights and 3,000 soldiers.”
Kwii Tan clicked her tongue as she looked at the nobles’ attitude. Because the Western Continent was not centralized, it was difficult to see absolute loyalty or respect for the king.
‘… I can’t say it out loud, but it looks a bit uncivilized.’
The throne room became as noisy as the Dotaegi market because of the nobles. Since they were positive about dispatching troops, Kwiitan was willing to wait for the conclusion.
It was then. The side door of the throne room opened, and an attendant rushed in.
“Well, Your Highness! Duke Prucus has entered the palace!”
The atmosphere changed with the servant’s words.
The nobles all fell silent. Some fell down as if their legs were weak, while others suddenly broke into a cold sweat and were out of breath. Some tensed and checked their clothes. Kwiitan knew that they felt fear.
Even the queen who took her throne couldn’t hide her nervousness.
‘The Duke of Prucus knows. The victor of the Great War. Isn’t he one of the greatest war heroes in history? The reason we are requesting the dispatch of troops to Lapellier is to receive help from Duke Prucus.’
If Duke Prucus participates in the war, the tide of battle on the Eastern Continent will change drastically.
As time passed, the atmosphere became heavier.
“Duke Eugene Frucus is entering!!”
The knight guarding the entrance to the throne room shouted loudly. I felt a sense of desperation in that cry.
Right after.
Bang!
The door burst open and the Duke of Prucus, wearing a jet black fur coat, stepped onto the red carpet.
The duke did not come alone. Armed maids wearing black maid uniforms followed behind him. Everyone had a sneer on their lips. They are approaching. The maids openly laughed at the nobles. However, rather than being upset, the nobles lowered their gaze to the floor. I tried to avoid eye contact as much as possible.
