"Don’t you want to do anything, Gwyn?"
I look to the side and smile a little at Silva’s question.
"I am doing sothing. Personally? No. I will let the others prepare for . I’ve been doing a lot of things alone. It is ti for to let others handle the problem for ."
"Oh? You are finally using your privilege as a Noble Heir, huh?"
"Yup. However, when the situation gets worse, I will take care of the problem."
I move a little and put my head on her tights. I release a sigh as I feel her soft thighs and sll her perfu. It was created by my mother and Silva to increase the specialty of the Cunningham family.
So far, only items I made have been sold to others. It is my speciality, not the Cunningham family. With this perfu and the new lavender-scented soaps, we obtain valuable trade goods that the others desire.
"There is also the fact that Sonia is about to return."
Sonia, my daughter, a homunculus I rescued in the past, is about to return from Luzia Kingdom, Hilda’s ho. Why? To further strengthen the ties between the Luzia Kingdom and our family, my father decides to send Sonia to the Luzia Kingdom to be fostered.
She will learn how to be an Enchantress in the Luzia Kingdom and how to handle the noble court. She loves enchanting and crafting. She wants to learn more. In fact, she asked to teach her how to enchant and craft things.
Sadly, I am a Druid and Astrologian. Not only that, I am not a craft-based player. I can only make basic equipnt and enchantnts that the Second Life system gives to as a player. I can provide her with books, materials, and other resources to help her experint, but she needs a solid foundation, which is why my father suggested this.
It is a "hitting two birds with one stone" kind of thing, after all.
Luzia Kingdom is not that big of a kingdom, but it has a good number of Enchanting Masters in its kingdom. It is great for Sonia, and it’s also great to expand our family’s influence. What? There is a reason why my father is able to handle the entire Southern Nobles sphere, you know? He may not be an expert in politics, but he excels at it.
It is just our nature as Southerners that prevents us from focusing on it. We are direct people, and we would rather speak boldly than use sweet words and then stab soone in the back.
Not only that, in the past, we were too busy gathering food and water while also ensuring that our people did not die from the cold weather, monsters, or a lack of healing. Basically? We are too busy trying not to die to care about politics.
However, with our needs for survival taken care of, my father was able to use his free ti learning how to be a good Lord. Among them is learning how to excel in politics.
"Really?! Sonia returned from her study?!"
"Yup. It has been what? A few months, right?"
"Only a few months? I thought it had been a couple of years. It feels like two to three years since she departed from Shadowfall. Ti does feel kind of slow when there are a lot of problems coming your way, doesn’t it?"
"That it does, dear. Anyway, I don’t want to leave Shadowfall anyti soon. I will let the King and the other nobles handle this problem. Let them do their job every once in a while."
"Ara~ Letting the king do sothing~ That will not do, you know?~"
I know that tone. It is the tone she uses when she is horny. I know that won will get horny while pregnant, and pregnancy sex is relatively safe as long as there is no health problem for the mother. However, I am still a little bit scared of hurting the baby inside of her.
I know. I know. The baby is not even fully ford, but I am still afraid.
"You know that the baby will not hurt, right? As a healer, you should be aware of this. Even the other healers say that there should not be a problem for us to have sex."
"I know, dear. I know. I am just afraid."
Instead of answering , she took my right hand and put it on one of her breasts with a smirk on her face.
"What about now? Oya?! It looks like soone is excited."
Damn you, little Gwyn! How dare you betray and show her that information?!
With a deep breath, I get up and pick her up. I walk toward our room, and on the way there, I can see Hilda having the sa smirk she uses when she is also horny. Oh well. It looks like I need to go all out.
~~~LINE BREAK~~~
|3rd POV|
King Hernandes Murian Gipan rubs the bridge of his nose as a headache starts to appear. He rubs his forehead, trying to ease the throbbing.
"Can you say it one more ti? I think I heard it wrong."
"You are not, Your Highness. I ca here to demand a eting with Grandmaster Gwyndolin Cunningham."
"That is what I fear you might say."
Hernandes releases a sigh and looks at his trusted advisor. Arthur Keegan Verqur also rubs the bridge of his nose as he knows another troubleso person is entering the kingdom. Seeing his advisor share the sa thought, Hernandes looks at the guest and says.
"I am sorry to say this, but you cannot just demand his presence here, Elder Yrathea."
"And why is that, Your Highness? He is your subject, right? Order him to co here, and have a talk with us."
He releases a sigh and explains it slowly to her.
"He might be my subject, but he is also soone I cannot call as if he were a low-level servant. He is a Grandmaster. That title alone deserves respect. It is a title that the entire Southern Continent holds in high regard. I request his presence because he is an important person to and my kingdom."
"But he is still—"
Slowly getting angry, he rudely raises his hand and glares at the elven woman in front of him. His patience is already running out. He has a lot of things that need attention. A rude and strong-headed elder from another continent is not soone he wants to talk to at the mont.
"Once again, let tell you why it is impossible to order him to co here. He is a Grandmaster! He is the Grandmaster of dicine! He develops potions, dicines, and vaccines for my people! He saves millions of people in the entire Southern Continent! He saved another thousand in the Western Continent! He is soone equal in power to ! What makes you think that you deserve to demand he co here?!"
He leans forward, and his glare gets deeper as the woman in front of him looks at him in shock.
"What have you done in your lifeti that is equal to his accomplishnt?! You want to force him?! Go ahead! He killed thousands of monsters, Elder! Thousands! That is in a single battle! You know what makes it worse?! He did it in a matter of minutes! Minutes, Elder! Minutes of battle that change the terrain of the battlefield forever! He summoned a Primordial Goddess into this world! A Goddess who is known as the one creating many races in our world, Elder! You want to force him to co here?! I am not suicidal, Elder. In fact! Let make myself clear."
Hernandes stands up, and for the first ti in a long while, his aura shows sothing that has not been shown in a long while. He is displaying his regal aura, which demands respect from all his subjects.
"We, King Hernandes Murian Gipan, declare that should you do anything to offend our Grandmaster of dicine, Heir Gwyndolin Alexander Cunningham, the Gipan Kingdom shall declare war on the Great Northern Forest! We shall welco you to our realm, but if you decide to do anything stupid, we shall respond in extre asure. You have been warned, and let this warning be heard throughout our Realm!"
All the people in the room look at him in shock. Even Arthur, his old friend, looks at him in shock and a hint of awe. Instead of disagreeing with his decision, Arthur supports this decision and in fact is already preparing plans in case the war happens.
As for the people from the Great Northern Forest, they receive a slap on the face. For the first ti in their lives, a kingdom dares to make a threat to them. In the Central Continent, they are very respected by others.
However, today they encountered a new beast. Beasts that are willing to bare their teeth and ready to bite.
For the first ti, Yrathea decides to back down. She might be arrogant, but she does not want to start a war with another kingdom. She takes a deep breath and nods her head.
"I understand."
"Good. We shall let you stay in our castle. However, beware that you shall be watched. You are no longer a friendly guest. You are not only a guest."
After saying that, he and Arthur leave the room. A minute later, Yrathea and the others leave as well to return to their rooms. When they arrive, Yrathea looks at one of the mages she brought with her and says.
"You know what to do."
The mage nods his head and disappears. Yrathea might not be willing to start a war, but she thinks that as long as she can get Gwyn to her side, no matter the way, King Hernandes will back down and not declare war.
Sadly, she will receive another slap on the face. This ti, it will leave a bright red mark on her face.
