Chapter 273: Mansion and Return
The Newnelly City can be seen from the window of the carriage.
It was a triumphant return with great results. Normally, I should have been happy about my return, but I couldn't help but feel better. The truth about my grandmother's final monts that I learned in Nambonan City weighed heavily on .
[We'll head to the mansion first.]
I nodded at the words of Knight Gatoren, who was riding along with in the carriage.
The mansion is a facility set up in Newnelly City that purports to be a lodging facility for nobles. To put it bluntly, it is a camp for people with magic powers. Everyone involv ed in Quordenze only calls it "Mansion", so I don't even know its official na.
Until a while ago, there were so Princesses of the Imperial Nobility taken from the eastern part of the Empire that my grandfather had destroyed and taken prisoner, but t hey were no longer there because they were getting in the way.
It was not specifically culled. They were transferred to a new building that was hurriedly built in Gatoren City, so to speak, the second "mansion".
The reason why the captive Princesses got in the way was the Nambonan Peace Treaty. As a result, Romilie was obliged to live within Quordenze territory.
There was a promise that we would listen to Romilie's wishes regarding where she would stay, but she was not stupid enough to suddenly go against our wishes. She has r eceived our consent to go to Newnelly.
And, of course, I can't let Romilie live in Newnelly Castle. It's too dangerous no matter what. Having her live in the mansion was a natural outco.
However, the story doesn't end with Romilie being thrown into the mansion with the other Princesses.
There is no problem in terms of capacity. In order to fulfill this role, the building is built like a prison, and the interior is well partitioned so that it can accommodate even one more person.
However, even if it is an extinct noble family, the Spierzeig family will continue to exist. It's not a good thing to force the head of such a noble family into a facility where sh e is exposed to a prison-like environnt. There is no doubt that the Spierzeig will be deeply dissatisfied.
And with the conclusion of the treaty in Nambonan City, the situation has been settled for the ti being. Punishing the losers without any reason attributable to them may c all into question our dignity as winners. It will also give other families a chance to interfere.
That's why the renovation of the "mansion" began in haste under my father's instructions.
It seems that the interior has beco dramatically cleaned thanks to the removal of the requirent to accommodate multiple people. In the end, the entire hall was just on e prison, but if you think about it, the Quordenze family took the ti and effort to prepare a dedicated living space just for Romilie. No one would say that we hurt the digni ty of the Spierzeig family.
Since the mansion is surrounded by a wide water moat, I got off the horse-drawn carriage and transferred to a small boat.
I heard that the renovations were mainly focused on the interior, but it looks like the exterior and garden have also been worked on to so extent. Perhaps it was ant to appeal to the other party, but it was clear that they had made preparations to welco them. Sothing like, "Spierzeig's party, welco to Newnelly" maybe?
The servants were lined up and waiting on the grounds of the mansion.
[From now on, Romilie-dono of the Spierzeig family will make this her temporary residence. It might be a hard ti, but I ask that you all do not behave poorly.]
For now, I should say sothing. In a sense, I was the one who brought Romilie with .
[I think it was known in advance, but there are no plans to apply a magic seal at this ti.]
If Romilie is to be placed in Newnelly City, it would be best to seal her with a magic seal. She is surrounded by not only servants brought from the Spierzeig family, but also bodyguards even if at minimum number, so if she wants to go wild, she can do so.
However, for the Quordenze family and the Spierzeig family, while the victory or defeat may have been decided, the master and servant were not decided yet. It was a pea ce agreent between two nominally equal noble families. There is no basis for applying a magic seal to the Head of the Spierzeig family here, and it doesn't sound good t o force her into it.
Around that ti, Romilie t and my father in Nambonan City.
[In the Royal Capital, the Holy Maiden was giving a dignified greeting]
, she said.
Since Rona, a mber of the priestly force who is the archenemy of the Levios family, was treated without a magic seal, I guess she wants to tell us that she, a mber of t he Spierzeig family, who is the archenemy of the Quordenze family, should be treated in the sa way. In fact, other families are probably paying close attention to her trea tnt. We can't do anything bad to her.
In conclusion, we decided not to use a magic seal on Romilie for the ti being.
[In a few days, Young Master will receive and greet Romilie-dono for her stay. If you notice any suspicious activity by then, report it imdiately.]
It's my role to receive greetings. We would only be exchanging greetings like
[Welco]
and
[Nice to et you]
, but by treating her as a noble without the magic seal, it shows that Quordenze's capacity is not small.
Only people related to both families would see such an exchange, but nobles have a certain kind of face. It cannot be ignored.
However, there are so concerns.
As the next head of the family, I will be the representative to welco them, but Fanny and my mother also need to show up. To be honest, the fact that the Quordenze cor e mbers who live in Newnelly do not receive greetings from the nobles who will be staying for a long ti is not a very comndable attitude.
However, considering her age, Fanny's fighting ability is lower than Romilie's, and my mother is currently pregnant. Apparently, her magical power becos unstable durin g pregnancy, so it's probably best not to count my mother as part of fighting power. In other words, in an ergency, I need to fight while protecting both of them.
[As soon as Sylopea and Evenafis are all assembled, we will be able to move on to the castle. Please ensure close cooperation between all departnts.]
That's why we decided to involve the Sylopea family and the Evenafis family. A welco party will be held at Newnelly Castle once all four families have gathered. As a res ult, we'll have three more Highlords on our side: Plu Sylopea, Asia Sylopea, and Macvan Evenafis.
In particular, Macvan is my great-grandfather and my mother rly's grandfather. Considering the current situation of the Evenafis family, there is no one more trustworthy in terms of protecting my mother.
By the way, the mbers of the Sylopea family and the Evenafis family are currently acting separately from and Romilie. By now, they must be touring the Arknoa Conta minated Area with the guidance of so of Quordenze's knights.
My father decided that we don't need to hide it, but that doesn't an we should take an outsider there either. So he didn't let Romilie accompany him on the purification hi ghway tour, and I brought her to Newnelly City first. She will be asked to wait at the mansion for a few days until the preparations for the welco party are completed, in o ther words, until the Sylopea family and the Evenafis family are all together. It is a matter of course that the servants and guards brought in from the Spierzeig family will ne ed ti to get used to the mansion.
While all the servants at the mansion were celebrating the victory of Operation Snake's Jaw, Romilie arrived in a small boat.
As expected, none of the servants showed any complacent behavior in front of Spierzeig-related people. They lined up resolutely behind .
[Do you know? This is my first ti visiting Newnelly City.]
When I took Romilie's hand as she got off the boat, she spoke in a somber tone.
Just when I thought that was the case, Romilie tilted her head slightly and gave a small smile. This is more like a joke or a prank. It is a ga in which players try to put som e deep intention into their words and actions, and then check to see if that has been conveyed to the other person.
[Ah, that's also the first ti I've heard that.]
The content of the argunt was not very cute, but the sight of the beautiful girl smiling was soothing in itself.
In order to show that I'm just having fun with her, I purposely continue the conversation in an exaggerated manner.
[We are delighted to welco the Great Defender of Spierzeig to Newnelly. Today will be a morable day for both families.]
Everyone knows that Romilie has never visited Newnelly City. In other words, her statent can be taken not as an individual's opinion, but as a statent representing all t he successive Heads of the Spierzeig family.
As a historical fact, the Head of the Spierzeig family has never visited Newnelly City.
Although it looks like it's just for fun, Romilie was actually probing . She was asking for reconfirmation of the fact that [The Head of the Spierzeig family has co to Ne wnelly CityJ .
In other words, it was a request to [Please respond appropriately to the Head of the Spierzeig family] , and a reminder to "don't use the magic seal".
They may think that the mont they enter the closed space of a building is the most dangerous. She was afraid that I might suddenly change direction and say,
[Oh, I'm going to seal your magic after all.]
[Yes, I hope it'll be a good day.]
It was a sowhat playful way of speaking. It's not like I'm seriously doubting you, it's just a casual conversation so please don't get angry, I was just a little worried. Well, t his level of reaction is within the tolerable range.
Also, thanks to this play, I can naturally keep things in check. I had to say sothing, but I was a little worried about how to bring it up. Since it looks like we're just playing a round, my response will likely be gentler if she were the one who initiated it.
[It may be difficult to get used to this new place. Please rest assured that we have arranged preparations for this the best we could.]
The group including Romilie is subject to the highest level of caution. A frighteningly large number of Lord-class soldiers are currently waiting at the military base in Newnel ly City, equipped with forbidden weapons. If Romilie were to go on a rampage in the mansion, it might cause a lot of damage, but it would be possible to control it. I had to r emind them so that Spierzeig wouldn't complain about this.
Since we're making a concession by not applying a magic seal, please don't complain about the surrounding environnt either.
[Yes. I trust Wilk-dono.]
The joking exchange took a turn, and Romilie smiled gracefully.
After throwing the beautiful woman into the mansion, I headed to my nostalgic ho, Newnelly Castle.
When I passed through the gate, I saw all the servants gathered at the castle entrance. They were a little nervous as I had just accepted Romilie's arrival, but they seed t o be in a welcoming mood. Thanks to that, I was able to honestly rejoice in my return.
[Onii-sama!]
Fanny also ca out to greet us. Maybe she couldn't wait any longer.
As soon as I got out of the carriage, she ran towards as fast as she could while maintaining the dignity of a lady.
[I'm ho, Fanny.]
When I spread my arms, my cute little sister jumped in. Then, she started stroking my body.
I'm sure she's checking for injuries, but if it's who did sothing like this, I'd be a total molester.
Even so, Fanny is still the best.
Not only is her appearance and behavior cute, but the good thing about her is that I didn't feel scared at all even when I got this close to her. In fact, I felt a sense of securit y-
[What's wrong? Onii-sama?]
[...When I saw Fanny, I felt like I had finally co ho safely. It's relieving.]
[Oh my.]
In that case, Fanny looked up at as if to ask to take a closer look.
What is this adorable being? My arms naturally put more power as I hug her.
[Ufufu. Welco ho, Onii-sama.]
I could feel the rhythm and fluctuation of the feeble magic power drifting from Fanny's body. The usual fluctuations and the familiar fluctuations, I can sense that this is a sa fe and good magic power. Lately, I've had many opportunities to feel the quality of Romilie's magic power up close, so perhaps that's the reason I'm being sensitive to magi c power.
After fully enjoying the reunion with my sister, I entered the castle.
[Wilk, you returned safely. You are truly amazing.]
And this ti, I thoroughly enjoyed my mother's embrace.
The feeling of hugging Fanny is completely different from the feeling of being hugged by a big-breasted mom. If I had been a little shorter, I would have had a faceful of her tits on my face, which would have been aweso, but I haven't been able to have that kind of happiness since I'm currently in a growth phase.
Even so, I'm so jealous of my future sister or brother who will suckle breast milk from these warm, soft, and nice-slling big breasts that I feel like I'm about to squirm in a gony. So enviable.
[I've caused a lot of problems for mother.]
Maybe it's because the fabric of my mother's dress today is so thick that even if soone tells she's pregnant, I can't tell by looking at her. She is the sa mother as al ways.
My mother seed to notice my gaze and gently placed her hand on her stomach.
[Fufu, Fanny has worked hard to take care of . I want Wilk to praise her too.]
I heard in the letter that Fanny, who was entrusted with house-sitting, was very motivated and very excited.
When I glanced over at Fanny, I could see that behind the ladylike smile of the Princess was a genuine ssage that said, [Please listen, please listen]. It seems like she wa nts to talk a lot about her hard work.
[Wilk has just co ho. Fanny, let's wait until dinner to talk.]
[Yes...]
My mother gently stroked Fanny, who had seemingly shrunk like a lily.
While I was away, my mother said that she always had the dignified deanor of a Princess from Quordenze, but as soon as I returned, she reverted to being a sweet girl. My mother laughed lightly.
[Mother*.] (TL Note: Reminder: Fanny is using "Oka-sama", while Wilk is using "Haha-sama")
[Ara, was this supposed to be a secret? Ufufu.]
It's soothing to watch a beautiful mother and daughter playing with each other.
And I just realized that my mother's approach to Fanny has changed a little. I feel like they are much closer than before, and that there's more of a sense of ease between t hem as a parent and child.
Well, it wasn't like mother and daughter were on bad terms. It's just that the good relationship between parent and child has beco even better.
In the letters I received from Fanny while I was staying in Othelloria, she often ntioned how much fun she had talking with our mother. Whether it was about Operation Sn ake's Jaws or our mother's pregnancy, it would be a good thing if the change in their environnt had a positive effect on both of them.
[Wilk is taking a bath, right? It's already been prepared.]
I was tired from traveling so I wanted to take a bath before dinner. I imdiately decided to go along with my mother's suggestion.
My personal servants approached to show the way, and Fanny returned to the other room.
At that ti, my mother suddenly approached and whispered in my ear.
[Please co to my room tonight.]
If anyone hears this, this would sound like an invitation to have an affair.
I almost got an erection by accident.
