"Thank you very much, Desmond-sama. I will make certain that this kid is delivered safely and raised with the best care! My husband will be overjoyed by this, Fufu."
--Well, un, if it makes Maia and her family happy, then that's cool, but......
I have mixed feelings to the max, as she lovingly stroked her womb.
Once the seeding rod has done its job perfectly and is pulled out, the losers of the fertility competition expose their white corpses with a lewd popping sound. Maia's embarrassed face is stored permanently in my brain. And then the lord cleans her crotch personally with his magic... Oh, Maia was afraid, but she did not seem to be too overwhelmed. Charlotte looked at her warmly, and Sophie looked enviously at her, the same goes for her daughter Emily........the maid was once again going back into being "shadow".
As Maia clam down she returns to her normal self, with her usual tanned features and fair skin that reminded me of a good and dependable mother.
"Since you can't join us for dinner, I made you something to take home."
"Thank you, Charlotte-sama. Hannah said she'd do the chores so that I can get home late today - the other kids and my husband said they'd help, too....... Really, only at times like this......."
She says to me, beaming.
――Uwaaaaa, uwaaaaa! Somebody kill me, please kill this jerk of a man.......
"Please don't do that, Desmond-sama has to impregnate other women too - like Sophie, and most importantly, me. Oh, right, in the idiom of Desmond-sama's original world, that would be enough to make a football game."
Huh? Isn't that two teams?
""That's a minor detail."
It's not!
Moreover, now you even know that I'm a reincarnated person.......I'm more than grateful that you still treat me like normal....right? I'm not sure I'd be able to do that, but if Charlotte wanted me to,--I have no choice but impregnate as many people as you wants, you know? --Gufufu
"――Gufufu"
Hey, you can't imitate those! Children are quick to imitate, so adults must strive to set a good example.
Says the man who had his own daughter observed him having sex with a married woman who is neither her mom nor his wife (?). (I can't maintain my mentality points anymore).
"But I am already an adult."
--Humph Humph.
If I were an adult lady, I wouldn't have done that.
Maia left my mansion just like that, and we sat down to eat in the dining room with our guests - or rather, the soon-to-be residents.
I never thought that the day would come when the three of us, father, mother, and daughter, plus my wife, would eat together like this.......-- it's so messy that I want to cover my eyes. The maid watches with a knowing look on her face. Katherine should have had dinner with us, but it seems that she is still proud of her position as a maid.
"Why don't you eat with us, Katherine-san?" Emily said.
"Because I am a maid."
"Desmond-sama, why can't you eat with a maid?"
"No, it is not like that. I have already asked Katherine to eat with me."
"Then, Katherine-san, I want to eat with Katherine-san."
"Well, that's......."
Even Katherine, the quintessential first-class maid couldn't help but let her narrow brown eyes wonder at the child's request. What's more, her master had suggested it, too.
"You must contemplate, Katherine, After all, we are together--" The lord's wife Charlotte said.
"----" "Yes, I understand. Thank you all for your kindness. However, if we add more dishes now, it will cause trouble, so next time..."
Speaking of which, the cook brought more food.
Katherine is at a loss for words.
Good, our cook is the best. As expected, we have a lot of talented people who had to move to this territory for various reasons.
When Katherine takes her seat, it's me, Charlotte, and Katherine. Sophie and Emily are across from me. Mmmmmm...three of them are my women. I never thought that I would be the one to build a harem.......and what's more, The lord's wife Charlotte did a great job in getting all these members together.......
As the oldest of the women, but also looks the youngest - except for Emily of course, but even so, she's still the cutest of the bunch, what an invincible creature - she's so sweet and pretty. How marvelous, and with her beauty...she is the very definition of a perfect wife, but it appears that she is no longer in her husband's control, and that is quite a problem.
Well, the most troublesome thing is that she looks happy. And once I see how lively she is, I am the one who seriously thinks, Was it okay to roll her in my plan like this?
She's too good for me.
"Pardon me Desmond-sama? Please stop at that. I might crawl under the table if you don't. You know, a while ago, all I did was watch Maia and you."
--Yes, she's cute, cute.
Wait what did you just say!? What are you going to do under the table for?
"This is delicious, Desmond-sama!"
Emily's innocent voice makes me feel relieved
"Yes, it's very tasty.......but Emily, you should behave better, you're going to be a real noble soon."
"Oh, I'm sorry, mother......."
"It's okay, if you're going to live in this mansion, then I'll need to teach Emily well - And she's already pretty good at it too. Isn't that right, Desmond-sama?"
"Yes, that's right. Sophie's education was excellent."
"Oh, thank you........"
I also care for her as well, as her eyes flutter as if they are blooming.
That smile. If only I could look past the meaning behind it!
But surely, by the looks of things, if she gets an education from Charlotte and Katherine her table manners will be perfect soon.......wait? The training by these two?
..........
I just have a feeling it's not gonna be wholesome!
"I'm offended...I'm not going to teach Emily anything naughty yet."
--What? And who was it that said earlier that sex education is a parent's duty, and showed her the sight of her father performing a seeding session? And...why's there 'yet' at the end?
"If Desmond-sama wishes, I'll do it right away."
No! I'm not saying that!
I mean, what are we talking about over dinner?......
"We're talking about your daughter's education."
Well, it's not wrong, but......
"However, I'll leave it to Desmond-sama to educate his mistress."
You know, I'm really scared when my wife talks to me like that.
"fufufu, I have no other intention. I was only trying to suit Desmond-sama's wants. Actually, I don't consider Sophie to be any sort of mistress. She's more like one of your concubines, and I'd like to be friends with her in order to make Aldora a prosperous place."
Oh, seriously? Charlotte-sama? If you think so and get along with her, I'll be at ease too.......
"Yes, to please husband, I'll get along..."
What is it, why my heart - THE chicken heart - is giving off a danger signal. Certainly, it does not indicate life-threatening situations. But still, I can't help but feel something chilly about this awakened righteous wife.......
"It's fine, I won't do anything bad to Desmond-sama. I'd like to ask Sophie how Desmond-sama was when I'm not next to you. --Sophie was the one who used to be beside Desmond-sama before me. Although Desmond-sama was certainly thinking of me, as I am sure you were, but for me, it seems to me that you were not fully contented..."
――*shake, shake* *shake, shake*.......
Stop, don't shake, don't shake.......
On the surface, we're calmly eating our meal. Regardless of how gruesome the horror may be unfolding beneath the surface! As expected of a noble!
"Fufu, don't worry. It's all right, so tonight, you just have to treat Sophie with plenty of affection and give her all the feelings you've accumulated over the years. I'm sure Sophie will squeal with delight."
--Oh! I'm about to choke on my meal, you know?
"Oh, this one is delicious too, thank you, Desmond-sama."
I'm relieved to see my daughter Emily smiling at me. But!
Yes, the table of the ladies and me, where the surface is harmonious, but I am tortured by a storm of horror all by myself, and there--
*stare*
"Hi, Liz."
"Good day to you."
"Good day."
The Parliamentary official appears. her steely eyes are staring back at me.
Liz Bergamot. A woman who has taken charge of the government of my domain on her own and has downgraded me, the lord of the domain, into a mere signer.
She is dressed in a Parliamentary official's uniform that looks a bit like a Girl Scout outfit and short pants - the colors are mainly white, with patterns in some places that let the wearer know the rank of the person who wears it. She is tiny in stature. But despite this, her chest is hefty and her bottom is thick. Her figure, height, clothes, face, and everything about her are honestly unbalanced, but I wholeheartedly believe that there are many gentlemen who would say that this is a desirable quality (at least in my previous life). I am confident that I could watch her work for an hour with a smile on my face if she didn't stare at me with those scary eyes of hers.
--No, I lied. I have seen her work before, it wasn't the work of a human. I think that phrase is inappropriate in this fantasy world, but if I had to use an analogy, I would say that she is a human supercomputer. --Well, that's all I can compare her to.
She looked at Charlotte but with her eyes not quite starely and reply her greeting, What? So you can make your eyes less intense. If so, why you're always look at me like that. She looks at Katherine in her maid's outfit as she takes her seat with us, then Sophie, and Emily....... That won't make children cry, right?
"I'm sorry to disturb you, Liz-san."
"Sorry for disturbing you."
"OK"
--Eh? Do you all know each other?
She lightly bobbed her head, and her frizzy silver hair, which hung down on either side of her face swayed. It was tied up under each of her chins, and the monocular monocle of her right eye glinted.
"Good evening, my lord. I know that she teaches at the academy and that Emily is a <D children>."
Really, She's professional as usual.
But the way she says the word "D-children" a little more forceful must be my imagination.
"Our lord has a hobby of sowing his seed."
"Shut up, Charlotte-chan."
"Heee, hmm, mmm, so you're going to speak to me like that now."
"Eh, what? "
I try not to let the outside know about my turmoil. But now I'm speaking via heart-to-heart. And Charlotte can clearly read more than I thought she could, to a point, I hadn't even noticed it myself.
"Desmond-sama. You seem to be quite fond of Liz."
"What!?
Even if I'm a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, handsome, sweet-looking noble face, there's no way a guy like me is in such high demand.
"The lovely Desmond-sama certainly is very in demand by us.
"Nh, nwh! "
unexpectedly, I never thought I'd be able to feel a loving touch in my mind until now. --But I don't want to think that this is a wording mistake.
"Yes, loving touch, that certainly is......."
-un, cute,
However, I don't have time to be smitten by the embarrassed Charlotte.
--Of course, I'd be lying if I said I didn't find Liz attractive............... Ummm..........if I say whether or not I don't want to bed her, of course, I do.
However, Liz's feelings are very important, and unlike Sophie who is a commoner, Liz is noble. She is the fourth daughter of Earl Bergamot. -she is a proper lady from a respectable family. It's a different level compared to just taking Sophie for a meal.
Or rather, it would be impolite to approach her, a professional career woman with an ulterior motive in mind. Because she's not interested in a love affair....or is she? If I ask her to...
"to become a concubine? "
In a previous life, I would have been stuffed in concrete and sunk to the bottom of the sea if I ask that.
"Seriously, Desmond-sama..."
--Huh? Maybe I'm imagining it, but I think I just heard Charlotte signs...
"Is Liz eat any dinner yet?"
Ugh, she's trying to ......
Charlotte asked Liz.
"No, not yet."
"In that case, why don't you join us?
The lord's wife Charlotte pointed to the other side, the seat to my right.
--Eh?
