Chapter 120 – 120. Duchess a-Jin Kang.

The festival itself was not enjoyable.
It was noisy and irritating, and he kept talking to me, but it was annoying to reply.
But Ash smiled.

Festivals aren’t fun.
Ash was enjoying the peace, not the festival.

People are laughing.
There were many people who had to worry about what to eat tomorrow, but it was much better than worrying about the crisis of human extinction in a world where demons exist.
Everyone thought the same.

“Hello, Duke Greyfield.”

Aristocrats who came from a long way asked for a private meeting with Ash.
We met face to face with her and exchanged greetings.
Most of the work had to be done publicly.

Ash dealt with them with the most benevolent impression.
He had so many days to live as a duke, and he had to build friendly relations with many of them.

Of course there is an easy way.
If you take out a cleaver from the restaurant right away and wield it, you can easily finish all the procedures.
But it didn’t.

The Duke of Grayfield needed strength.
The power to protect the family even after Ash dies of old age.
That was something Ash’s sword couldn’t do.

Build experience and pass it on.
To his son nestled in his own belly.

‘Grow up quickly.’

10 months felt like too long.
The time I endured alone in the world of demons, the time I lived alone after Kang A-jin died in the first episode, it feels longer than that.

Ash tilted the teacup.
He was also eagerly learning how to drink gracefully.
One day, as a duchess, she would have to enjoy a tea party.

* * *

“Nice to meet you.”

The presence of the High Elf Princess Islan was enormous.
Aristocrats who wanted to establish diplomatic ties with the closed Alfheim quietly spoke to him.

Princess Islan did not reject them and was willing to deal with them.

‘We elves are also expanding our territory through the hero.’

The common enemy of the continent has disappeared.

Peaceful days would last right away, but this peace was no different from a glass floor that could collapse at any moment.
A glass floor that would break at any moment if someone appeared with an eye for profit.

Alfheim decided to create an alliance in preparation for such a moment.
Starting with the youngest princess of Islan, they selected people they could trust.

The first is Count Glaros, who helped the hero Ashe both physically and mentally.
From the second time onwards, I was thinking of getting to know you slowly.

A Loa who came out of Alfheim as an escort for Princess Islan.
She stuck to Princess Islan and took full responsibility for her escort.

Looking at Princess Islan, who was dealing with humans with a benevolent smile, Loa felt her heart tremble.
She still adored Princess Islan.

Even if she was lying around and mixing flesh with Kang A-jin with the warrior Ash, Loa’s heart did not change.
I don’t think she will ever change.

“Please take care of me, Count.”

Princess Islan reached out to moderately wealthy nobles.
He created a friendly atmosphere by finding a human who did not emit a foul odor.

During the year Ash was away, Princess Islan had grown more mature.
He returned after thoroughly studying what was needed to protect Alfheim.

‘This is not to commit a sin.’

To get to know the opponent more.
It was never cheating or cheating.

Because there are so many things you don’t know about relationships between people.
Isn’t there a saying to cross a stone bridge after knocking on it?

‘It was something I learned from Ah Jin.’

Kang Ah-jin took that word and used it whenever a scary situation came up.
It was a plausible statement, so it was persuasive.
Although it didn’t work for the hero Ash at all.

“Nice to meet you.”

Deal with the approaching nobles.
We put on a nice smile and exchanged greetings.

This opponent smells disgusting.
The super senses developed as a high elf sounded an alarm.
I don’t think this guy will be of much help.

Princess Islan pushed him moderately.
He turned round and round to express his disapproval.
Since the opponent was also a worn-out nobleman, he noticed that Princess Islan was uncomfortable.

“It was an honor, Princess Islan.”

In order to make a good impression, I set the timing and naturally withdrew.
In fact, he wanted to welcome an elf concubine.
Because it was approached with an uneasy purpose, it bought the Islan princess’s vigilance.

“Whoa, it’s not easy.”

Princess Islan smiled helplessly as she looked at Loa.
I thought he liked meeting people, but he didn’t.

A meeting with a purpose, not a pure meeting…
It didn’t feel good at all.
Every time I met one, the energy went straight out.

“Still, these encounters will one day help Alfheim.”
“Is that right?”

Thinking positively, I also met the human merchants one by one.
While spending time like that, I waited for the evening banquet.

A party to finish off official business and enjoy alcohol and meat.
An elegant feast for nobles.

Islan Princess and Loa were invited similarly to the special type of heterogeneity.
Of course I was thinking of leaving.
I couldn’t miss it.

* * *

“Great job.”

He rubbed Ash’s shoulder after working hard all day.
Although Ash is stronger than anyone else in terms of body alone, although he may be mentally tired, there is no way he will feel fatigue in his body, but I still massage Ash.

Ash also enjoyed the massage with a smile, as if my touch wasn’t bad.

“As long as I can get a massage like this, I don’t mind being bothered by the tedious work every day…”

Ash was wearing a dress.
Light blue dress with emphasis on activity.
It was a banquet dress.

The banquet will begin soon.
In the nature of the county of Glaros, each of the nobles who were said to be the next ones reflected their faces.

We make our social debut there.
For the first time, both as a human and as a duke.

“I’m nervous.”

What was it like to be among the aristocrats, the leaders of society?
Can I smile well in front of people I don’t know who they are hahahoho?

“Don’t be nervous.”

Ash held my hand tightly.
He said coolly that there is no need to be nervous.

“If you see a rude bitch, just talk to me. Because I want to kill you.”
“…”

I can’t say that it’s hard at all.
If that happened, the poor nobleman might die.

“It’s a joke, a joke.”

Ash laughed and denied it.
It’s never going to happen, and if you kill it unconditionally, it’s rather a loss.

“I have to threaten you.”
“… Isn’t that what it is?”
“It is completely different.”

Anyway, I know it’s not true.

‘Because Ash also has something to protect.’

I’m not talking about nobility.
It meant the baby in Ash’s belly.

‘I can do anything too.’

It was a feeling I felt when I had Violet, but life seemed to be very strange.
It is said that people’s hearts are heard and released, true.

A sound comes from outside.
It was a shout that someone was entering.

A knight belonging to Count Glaros exclaimed cheerfully that if he had made a great achievement that would resonate all over the continent, if he was a famous human being that no one knew about it.

The longer the modifier, the stronger the person’s power.
Whether it is force or power, it is better than a person without modifiers.
This meant reliability.

The time to enter was too long.
There were just as many nobles who came to see Ash.
It took a long time because they were aristocrats who could not be left out.

And last.
The emperor, the master of the empire, enters.

The nobles paused their conversation for a moment.
The sound of the words suddenly diminished, and the eyes turned to the emperor.
I didn’t even see it myself, but I could feel the atmosphere.

“Let’s get ready to go out soon.”

Originally, Ash should have gone out first and waited for the emperor.
That’s normal

But Ash is not normal.
She is a woman close to abnormal.

So she insisted.
The main character is himself, so he will show himself at the very end.
The emperor will come first and he will have to wait for himself.

Unexpectedly, she followed Ash and entered later than the emperor.
The conversation is cold.
Honestly, I think it’s better to go first and wait.

Nature goes out alone.
Dressed in a well-dressed tuxedo, he stepped out as confidently as possible.

“Hold her shoulders.”

Ash put her arms around me.

“Look straight ahead, as if looking down on everyone.”

Even in the midst of this, I focused on the feel of my breasts.

“No one can harm you.”

Ash delivers her words in a whisper.

“Because you are my man.”

Nobles filling the hall.
The social leadership that supports the empire.

“Give me a smile, and that’s fine.”

After muttering that, Ash raised her hand and shook her softly.
I didn’t do anything, but it’s a somewhat excessive feeling, but the nobles started pouring out applause.

Realize again.
Ash is a hero, a hero who saved the continent.

She was saved equally by emperors, nobles, and commoners.
This moment was purely welcome.

I followed Ash and waved her hand.
Let’s decide to enjoy everyone’s celebration, the pressure is gone.
