Chapter 95 – Aquarius (12)

No more news came from the warrior who had gone to the north. It wasn’t that I was periodically waiting for news from the hero A.A. I received the last letter before I investigated the Mage Tower, but it was just strange that I hadn’t heard from you yet. At this point, there might have been news that he had returned from the investigation or that he was killed by demihumans, but the northern part was quiet.

Actually, it wasn’t just quiet. The North was currently the noisiest place in the kingdom. It was because the Northern Grand Duke, who was defeating the Ain, died, leaving a gap in the northern defense line. I heard that soldiers were being sent in regularly to prevent the subhumans from coming down, and that the originally vast and fertile territory is now a battlefield.

When I thought about it after hearing this news, I thought it was crazy that the hero was there. But what can I do? It wasn’t my responsibility for the demons to go wild, and it wasn’t my responsibility for the hero to go to the north. The sin of killing the maiden succubus was very heavy, so I wanted to go through hardships there.

So I was drinking tea while enjoying the warm sunlight of the southern provinces. The room was very empty with the walls still unfixed, but I tried not to be conscious. It was because just looking at that wall reminded me of what Soya called ‘Mermaid’.

“Excuse me, Lord.”

Robin called out through the broken wall. Robin seemed to feel very comfortable in this broken wall. He didn’t knock since he had a big hole in the wall and he used to talk to me from over the wall. Once or twice, I was pretty funny too, so I let it go, but it wasn’t once or twice when I was surprised by a voice that came out of nowhere.

“What’s up, Robin?”

“That… I think you should come quickly. At the border of the Amur territory… A guest has come…”

“Guest?”

It seemed that someone else had come from the Amur territory. I quickly packed up and went out. There were too many people coming from the Amur territory. Who is it? It could have been someone from the capital, or Mrs. Amour could have come to beg for help. There was no way it was an elven kingdom. It’s time for Erina to start to swell her belly.

Thinking again and again, I climbed the horse with Robin. The guards who came running to report were trembling. We hurriedly rode towards the border and were able to reach the guard post. At the checkpoint, a quarrel was in full swing.

“There is a beacon! A beacon has occurred!”

“Trying to tie up a pregnant woman, do you think you have a swollen liver?”

“Ah! Lord! I’ve captured the behemoth!”

The situation was really hard to explain. Erina, whose belly had protruded slightly due to her pregnancy, was standing there gently stroking her belly, and two elven soldiers standing next to her were holding down our soldiers by laying them on the ground. Robin drew a knife at the figure.

Why is Erina here? Judging from her pregnant body, she came all the way here, it was clear that she had some pretty urgent business. I asked.

“Princess Erina. How did you come here with her pregnant body?”

“Peta Lucius! How the hell do you train soldiers?”

“What are you doing?”

The captain of the guard came running late. His face was white and he was on the verge of fainting. When he saw the situation at the guard post, he swallowed his saliva and shouted while slamming his head in front of me.

“Sorry! I got my education wrong!”

“Calm down. Guard Captain. We need to figure out the situation first.”

I looked at our soldier who had been suppressed to the floor. I was that newbie last time. It was said that the new recruits were properly trained, but it seemed that they were not properly trained. I asked with a smile.

“Soldier. Can you explain what’s going on?”

“This, these unidentified behemoths didn’t even answer the password or hapgu! So I tried to tie them up with a rope as per the manual! They subdued me! Lord! They are suspicious people!”

“Gosh…”

The captain of the guard collapsed to the floor with his own scream. Originally, I was going to go after the guard until he passed out, but seeing him fall like that, I felt sorry for him, so the thought of wanting to do that disappeared completely. Just what happened today would have cut the captain’s lifespan by half.

I patted the soldier on the shoulder and said.

“Soldier. The captain of the guard will slowly explain what went wrong later.”

I looked at Erina again. Erina and her two soldiers her escorting her her looked very uncomfortable. He was a VIP in his own way, but he was treated like this as soon as he arrived, so he had a lot to say. I got off my horse, bowed my head and apologized.

“I’m sorry, Princess. Due to lack of education, the soldier behaved rudely. I apologize. Let’s eat inside first.”

“Ah…”

Seeing my apology, the captain of the guard, who barely got up from his seat his, collapsed with his eyes closed again. Robin kicked the captain of the guard to wake him up, and the captain of the guard got up immediately after grasping the situation and gasped for breath. Isn’t that what leads to arrhythmias?

I couldn’t stand her Erina and dig up the captain of her guard, so I took her back to her mansion for now. After giving the guards a separate room, Erina and I went up to her room. As I was about to go to my room, Erina looked at me warily and asked.

“…Why are you going to your room all of a sudden?”

“The wall in my office has collapsed.”

I turned around and showed that the wall of the office had collapsed. Erina asked, frowning at the gruesome sight.

“How did this happen?”

“Because it happens.”

I didn’t like to answer. I can’t say that I broke the wall in a fight with a mermaid. Erina frowned as if slightly offended by that comment and turned around again. She said.

“Come up quickly. I have something to tell you.”

I followed Erina up to the room. Entering the room, I suddenly remembered the days when Erina and I had a blast in this mansion. It was nice then, but the last room on the left was still vacant. Erina, too, must have been thinking at that time. I could see her ears prick up. I had the urge to touch her ear her. But business came first.

First of all, because Erina was pregnant. She didn’t know how to deal with a pregnant woman with a bloated stomach, so she was a little cautious about attacking her.

“So what are you doing here?”

I asked, pushing the chair. Erina carefully sat down in her chair and rubbed her stomach. She then took a small letter from her pocket and handed it to me. It was a letter with the official seal of the Grand Duke of the North.

“What is it? The will of the Grand Duke of the North?”

“Read it.”

“Let’s see…”

– Send a letter to Erina of the Elf Kingdom, the companion of the hero A.A.

The sender of the letter is Noivan, the aide-de-camp acting for the Grand Duke of the North.

This letter was sent after the hero A.A. Entered the Dragon Mountains.

It is supposed to be sent when there is no news for more than 2 weeks.

The hero was an excellent warrior who set an example for others, and in the last subjugation of Ain…

It was roughly about the disappearance of the warrior. It was clear he was paying dearly for killing his maiden succubus. I skimmed through the letter and handed it over to Erina again.

“So what does this have to do with me?”

“You look like a heartless guy. Didn’t A.A disappear! We have to go get him right away!”

“Am I?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“Why?”

I really didn’t know why I had to go. In the first place, when the Grand Duke of the North fell behind me, the North was like a limb to me. Who wants to treat the murderer who killed his lord well? I didn’t like it at all.

“…There is no one but you.”

“Send out elven soldiers. They seem to have people who can be used as escorts.”

Besides, the north was fucking far away. I didn’t even know where A.A. Was. In fact, it was definitely not a place I would go to as I was in charge of a territory in the south and even held the position of chief priest. Erina glared at me with her blushing face. Her face was so full of tears.

“…Because he looks like a bad guy.”

“No, so why don’t you use the soldiers of the elven kingdom? Actually, I have a problem with my position, so it’s difficult to be active in the north for that long.”

“I was rejected by Mama. She also said that the area where demi-humans are prevalent is dangerous, so she cannot use soldiers. Actually, she probably wants me to take this opportunity to find a proper ‘male’ companion. But, but, A.A. Didn’t you go for me? You went to become a man for me. Can you leave A.A alone like that?”

“It doesn’t work though.”

Still, it was a problem that couldn’t be solved. Even if you think about A-A’s disappearance for two weeks, it’s clear that he’s doing it because he’s been rummaging through the mountains. It was crazy to be away for at least a month just to visit A.A. Because I was a person with a family and a lovely wife.

In the first place, it was questionable whether A.A would be happy to see me if he met me in that mountain area. Where could I be hiding to cut my throat with a face full of poison? When I judged comprehensively, I was the only one who lost if I went there.

When I firmly refused, Erina’s face her turned bright red. She gritted her teeth and shook her body. Her ears stood stiff, expressing her anger.

“This guy is worse than this beast! A dirty guy! A bad guy! A guy who doesn’t even know grace! A guy who will fuck a beast!”

Surprisingly, among the elves, it seemed that the word fucking Suin was an insult. I was insulted casually, so Erina agonized over it for a long time before pointing at me and shouting.

“If you don’t go to rescue me, the kingdom will officially declare that you raped me and became pregnant!”

As I was drinking tea, my head went blank. I was about to lose my temper in an instant. Are you going to self-destruct here like this? That’s a big deal. A half-elf rapist who raped elves. This was a major scandal that could decide my future.

If it was Peta Lucius, who was innocent in the past, it was a threat that would not be eaten. However, at this point in time when he had mastered the mermaid bag and the real man title of eating his wife with a dildo, the rumor that he raped the elf princess was a huge fatal blow. I barely came to my senses and said calmly.

“Princess, stay calm. Who would believe that? There’s no proof…”

“My tears will be the proof, so what need is the proof!”

Fuck! Fucked!
