Chapter 430 – Day of Fruition
“I understand. I will speak to High Priestess Caterina myself.”
When I went to Ellen and the others’ room, Ellie and Conrad had just fallen asleep. I was able to tell Ellen about the refugee aid from the Holy Kingdom at just the right time, and she immediately gave her consent.
“Queen Sylphiel, willing to extend a helping hand to the people of the Holy Kingdom who once stole her homeland, is a benevolent ruler rarely seen in history, isn’t she?”
“I don’t think it’s necessary to lift her up by force… It is, after all, a decision based on calculation?”
I reply with a wry smile at Amalie’s words.
I think it would be a good idea to take external considerations and the morale of the soldiers at the front into account when dealing with the refugees in a harsh manner. But, well, it would not be good if the refugees were given a hard time and too much support was given to them, which in turn would lower the morale of the soldiers, so it might be better to think of something there. We could offer them a glass of alcohol or something, or an extra bonus or something… Well, a bonus would be a safe bet. Some people might not be able to drink. That would cost money again… and Melty would be reluctant to do that.
“Still. I have the utmost admiration for Her Majesty Sylphiel’s generosity.”
Saying this, Amalie folded her hands in gratitude and made a gesture as if she were praying. After all that had happened between her and Sylphy regarding Conrad, it was a relief to see that they finally had a good relationship.
“So, are you going on another business trip?”
“No, not in the near future, and maybe I won’t go at all. Anyway, it looks like we need to make a solid plan on how to deal with this first.”
“I see… Please don’t go on too many business trips and let Elise and Conrad forget your face.”
“I’ll cry if that happens…”
“I’ll comfort you then.”
“C-can I comfort you too?”
Amalie smiles at me in a depressed mood, and Ellen quickly follows her smile of affection.
While we were flirting like this, Bertha, who looked a little out of place, entered the room without knocking.
“Ah…”
And when she saw my face, her cheeks turned red. I wondered what was wrong. I looked at her face, and she kept her face red and her expression sharp, walking right in front of me. Then she suddenly took my head in her hands and pressed it against her belly.
“I’m pregnant.”
“Mmm?”
My face was pressed against Bertha’s slim belly, and I was in a little pain. I was still trying to understand what she was saying, but as I squirmed, Bertha pressed my head even harder against her belly. I was in agony.
“I also say that I have finally been blessed with your child.”
“Nnnn!”
I said, but I couldn’t really speak because my face was pressed against her belly in the priestess robe. I mean, it was hard to breathe. It smells really good, and it’s warm, but I can’t breathe!
I put my hands around her waist and hugged her, patting her waist as if to help her. With a half-hearted reminder that I’m giving up.
She is a special kind of fighter in the Adol Nostalgic Faction, so her slender body, hidden under her priestess robe, has more physical strength than it appears.
“Bertha. Kosuke will die in agony if you go on like this.”
“I’m kind of embarrassed to have him look at my face.”
“Isn’t it a bit late for that?”
Inwardly, I agree with Ellen’s words. It is true that a blushing Bertha is not something you see very often, but the fact that she has a child means that we are already doing what we are doing. To put it bluntly, it’s a little late for that.
“By the way, I’m sorry for interrupting your conversation. I was just overcome with emotion.”
“That’s okay, but… it’s not fair to monopolize. Let’s switch places.”
“Even though it’s Eleonora-sama’s word, I can’t obey you right now. Please forgive me.”
The force with which Bertha presses my head against her belly has eased, but she still has no intention of letting me go. Well, it’s warm and smells good, and I don’t mind, but being held like this makes me feel very calm… and I think I’m going to fall asleep.
“After Eleonora-sama, I’d like to be next, please.”
“Umooo!”
“Hey, please don’t talk. It tickles me.”
You’re being ruthless. I mean, Ellen and Amalie will do the same thing to me regardless of my will. If something like that happened to me in such a row, I would be so relieved and happy that I would lose my mind.
Well, there are no urgent matters. When Elise and Conrad wake up, they won’t have time to relax like this, so let’s take it easy for a while.
