Book 13: Chapter 2


    Lucia frigidly looked at me. She rubbed Vera and Nonas head then turned her head away: Oh? So you do remember that youre married and have children, and stille home to see them. Nona, Vera, he is not your father. You dont need to be so excited.


    Sorry.


    I lowered my head. I took off my cloak and ced it aside. Just as I then went to walk up to Lucia, a dagger appeared at my throat. I raised my hands in surrender. Lucia held her dagger that she used up to my throat. In a cold tone, she eximed, You didnte home for even four days in an entire month. How would you like to die? I cant ept such tant betrayal even if its you. You promised to love us equally, yet this is how you treat me! Do you have something youre displeased with about me, Nona or Vera?!


    No I dont I didnt go to Nier, during this time I havent been back, either. Ive been working in the office all this time Serious.


    Lucia indifferently responded, I dont believe you. I dont believe you, who always bludged work, would work so seriously for a month this time. Queen Vyvyan is also a ruler. Why can shee home every day and bath with you, yet you dont evene home? Do you know how much Nona and Vera cried because they didnt get to see you? Do you know how long I had to spend every day, exining to them why you werenting back? Do you know how upset I was telling them that youd definitelye back?! Did you not consider me or our children?


    Tears rolled down Lucias face. Her voice became hoarse, but her hand holding her dagger didnt shake. Elves dont ept betrayal. Lucia thought I went to Nier, during this time and gave her the cold shoulder. Elves wouldnt hesitate to put a knife in a traitor or cheater.


    I honestly didnt go to Nier and give you the cold shoulder. Lucia, believe me. I <em>seriously </em>was working the entire time, although I shouldnt have been away from all this time even if I was always working I admit that was my mistake. Dont worry, Lucia. I havent done anything that I have to be sorry to you for.


    I pressed my hand down on the dagger Lucia had at my throat. I slowly moved my neck closer to her whilst watching out. Lucia sobbed in a soft tone. She pulled her hand back bit by bit until I kissed her lips. Lucia gradually responded to my kiss. I hugged her tightly.


    After the dagger dropped to the ground with a muffled sound, Lucia stered herself to me and tightly hugged me. However, what I was thinking about wasnt Lucia, who was in my arms. I was worried about Nier.


    If Lucia, who hadnt held a dagger in a long time, held a de to my neck, I was genuinely worried that Nier would behead me.


    I guess Ill need to wear some soft armour before heading to Niers ce, I thought.


    I released Lucia. Lucia stood to one side to wipe her tears. I walked up to Nona and Vera. Nona reached her hand out hastily and rambled at me. She was agitated; she reproached me with her gaze. Vera, who was seated to one side, looked at me with a cold gaze. It was the exact same sort of gaze Elizabeth and Vyvyan looked at me with when they affectionately clung to me.


    Why is she so angry already? I pondered.


    I sat down next to Nona with a smile that was intended to help me get on her good side and picked her up. I positioned her so that she could stand on my legs and look at me. She angrily pped me on my face with her puny hands as she furiously shouted something.


    Nona should soon be able say mom and dad. Lucia was fluent in humanitysnguage already, but I was sure shemunicated with the girls in the elvennguage.


    After cating Lucia and the two girls, I gave Lucia, who was next to me, a hug: Lucia, have you packed? You knew a long time ago already, right? You all knew that youll be going to out to sea with me in a few days, right? Well see the ocean, fish and whatever. We can do anything. The main thing is to have fun. Consider it mypensation to you.


    Yeah I knew about it. I am so d you coulde. Honestly, I have never been to the ocean My usual clothes will not do, right? Are there clothes specifically for swimming in the ocean? Elves do not rely on the ocean, so I have never prepared for it.


    Well go look for some clothes tomorrow, then. The swimwear here


    I actually hadnt seen how swimwear looked in this world. Id able to see some at the beach, but as I said right at the start, the only ce in humanitys empire that used the ocean was Castor City. I dealt with the matters involving Castor already; in saying that, I hadnt been there, so I didnt know how swimwear in this world looked.


    I was sure I wouldnt see modern day swimwear in this era, though. The swimwear in this world shouldve been normal underwear. Still, I wanted to see Lucia in swimwear.


    Normally speaking, theres a swimwear fan-service episode at episode seven or eight in every harem anime, isnt there? Back then, all I could do was exim, but I now get to personally see my harem in swimwear! was what came to mind.


    I went to see Nier after wearing on some soft armour. Afterwards, I realised I was wrong. Completely wrong. When I entered her room, I knew I was utterly wrong. Nier didnt intend to hurt me. She just wanted me topensate her hearts loss and physical loss.


    And so, as soon as I entered Niers room and she threw herself at me, I knew I was done for. It was basically a sheep to a wolf


    I struggled to get up the next day. How hard? I could barely straighten up my back, and my head throbbed. I didnt know how many times Nier squeezed it out of me. In short, our bodies were still connected even after I woke up Nier licked my face over and over. I didnt even need to wash my face the next morning. It wasnt just my mouth that was filled with Niers scent. My entire body was covered in her scent. I couldnt even make a sound to beg for mercy, as she choked me with her hands.


    Why didnt youe back? Why didnt youe back? Since you donte back I just wont let you leave I just wont let you leave me. I wont let you leave me


    Nier looked at me and kept murmuring in a terrifying manner. I looked back at her and grabbed her arm, but her eyes gaze showed she was spacing out. I wasnt sure if she was aware of what she was doing. She mounted me and continued, Your Majesty, do you know that we will be going out to the ocean on the ship? Remember that you belong to me for these next few days. You are not to go anywhere!


    But but you need swimwear if were going out to sea! Nier! Nier! Let me go! We need swimwear! Lets go buy some today! Lets go buy some today!!!


    Swimwear?


    Clothes you wear to the beach. You cant swim in a dress.


    Mm All right, then I shall spare you for today. However, we must go buy them together! Together! Were going together! Now! Right this second! Get dressed, Your Majesty. From this moment, I shall not let you leave my sight! I will not allow it!
