Chapter 7: Chapter 9

For some reason, he got along with the triumphant Verilli within a week...... ideas. Although Vareli was very reserved because of his position, I said it entirely from Frank.

By the way, the fat cat Luo can't lose weight at all. This is the determination to fight for a long time.

"I want it when I see the baby~~ Although I'm in the belly."

"Indeed, as soon as you see a child, you want it. But someday I'll be born, so I'm not in a hurry. ”

"Have a baby?"

It felt a little wrong, but it didn't matter because someone was there.

"Madame, Ms. Frely, what's wrong?"

"Ina!"

Looking back, I saw that today there was also Ina in a simple dress and a dango skirt. Today it seems to be a person.

"Hey, didn't Abel go with you?"

"Lord Abel, Your Majesty, Prince Rodrich, and Lord Zelma are watching."

Your Majesty is the King, right? That is, my stepfather...... It looks scary.

"Your Majesty is here?"

"Yes. She said she had come to see Mrs. Abel. ”

Ina nodded at the incredible Verilli. I pointed to myself.

"Me?"

"Well, she said she wanted to see her face......"

I don't know if Ina finished speaking, or if she didn't finish speaking, a dull voice came from the other side of the corridor.

All three of them looked over there in unison.

The blonde man, a slightly chubby, middle-aged man, was running from the hallway.

"What's going on?"

Although he couldn't help but ask questions in his mouth, he didn't know if it was more sensitive than he imagined, and he instantly narrowed the distance. The man bared his white teeth and raised his hand gently.

"Alyssa! Long time no see! I heard you're pregnant! What a happy event! It's okay to have a few kids!"

"Ah, okay."

Overwhelmed by his momentum, the man nodded, touched his beautiful beard, and muttered to himself in his eyes.

"But Rodrich's guy...... My sons are all men, don't respect him...... I obviously have a lot of side rooms......"

"There's something like that. Please don't be discouraged, Your Majesty. ”

"Isn't it Ina? It used to be cute, but now it's even prettier...... What do you think? Do you want to make my side room again?"

It's really an understatement, and it's very natural for a middle-aged man to put his hand on Ina's waist. There is a slight smell of crime.

Ina smiled slightly, and resolutely gave up everything.

"I'm sorry, I value the Viscount of Xia Cixian, and I gave birth to a daughter a year ago."

"Really...... This...... What a blessing......"

Listening to Ina's words, the man was obviously a little lost. However, she is still holding Ina's waist tightly.

"Daddy!! Don't do anything to Abel's nurse!"

After the middle-aged man appeared, Rodrich walked over with Abel in his arms. The middle-aged man—probably, the supreme leader of this kingdom faced me with an anxious expression.

"Pay attention to your body! Looking forward to your second child!"

I stared blankly at the middle-aged man who was running away like a rabbit.

How to say...... Completely different type from Mr. Rodrich. Mr. Rodrich doesn't seem to be running down the hallway.

“…… Ina, I'm sorry Dad. ”

"It's great that you look healthy."

Although Abel Jun was in Mr. Rodrich's arms, as soon as he saw my figure, he stretched out his hand. Lovely.

A letter from Abel was received from Rodrich. Abel also smiled happily today.

This kid doesn't cry much.

"Meow meow!"

"Meow Meow~~"

She pointed to Xiao Luo, who was standing at my feet, and said cheerfully.

"Abel, you talk a lot, don't you?"

"Ah, Abel is a genius. However, it seems that it is still difficult to say whether the card line, the Sha line, the river line, and the pull line are still difficult to say. Children of about the same age are about the same, and they should be able to speak in the future. ”

Although the stupidity of his parents was revealed like flowing water, he really didn't hear Abel say that line in retrospect.

Anyway, although I almost equate Kishlet with Japanese, I guess it's no problem at all. It feels like it's been said.

"And—ball!"

This time Abel reached out to Rodrich. Rodrich was called "Father" with a joyful expression on his face.

It was handed over to Mr. Rodrich, and a thoughtful expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"In this way, because of the expedition, I was not able to celebrate the second anniversary of my marriage. It's been more than a month...... Do you have anything you want and where you want to go?"

When I talk about expeditions, I think of club activities, but probably not. Or rather, to celebrate my marriage. It's so diligent.

"What did you do last year?"

"Last year, I built a library, and when they said they wanted a book, I collected the books I liked."

I couldn't help but be speechless. Is that library a gift for the first wedding anniversary...... The luxury of the royal gifts was a far cry from the feeling of the commoners.

"Well, I can't think of it right now, can I do it this time?"

"Got it, say whatever comes to mind."

Because you have money, you can do anything....... It's the Crown Prince of the Flowing Stones, ah.......

One by one, one by one.

——————

I woke up in the middle of the night.

I didn't think much about it on the first day, but I knew it after a week.

Sure enough, the number of toilet trips is increasing. As Rodrich said.

Thanks to her, she woke up Rodrich in the middle of the night almost every day. It seems that he is also very busy at work, and his eye circles are dark. I'm really sorry.

It seems that I slept very deeply today, and even if I got up and secretly got out of bed, I couldn't get up.

I think it should be fine.

From the brightly lit bedroom with a desk lamp to the hallway. The hallways weren't completely dark, either.

Can fly a candlestick lit. Just go next door right away. There is nothing wrong with that.

I'm not good at horror, but after a week of staying, I'm getting used to the atmosphere of this mansion.

Take a step down the hallway. I finally saw the brightness at my feet.

What's the matter, the accident is not terrible.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and the sound of intense water in my ears rang out.

I've heard of it. It's the sound of rain.

There is moisture. The sky is still one step away from nightfall.

The feet were muddy from heavy rain.

Hidden in the rain in the distance, a voice was heard.

The voices of unknown men talking. No, not the voice of the speaker. An even more intense roar.

The woman next to me shuddered. There are also people who desperately try to prevent the sound from leaking out, and cover their mouths with their hands. There are also children who are almost crying.

The only savior is the sound of rain. Because it cancels out our voices.

Cannot be discovered.

If you find it, you're done. All my noble ladies.

A man's voice came from behind him.

The screams of one woman after another continued.

They who ran near me gradually became victims.

Regret, sadness, fear.

It must be something hot on the cheeks, definitely not rain.

The feet are imprisoned in mud puddles, disrupting the balance.

He quickly put his hand on the trunk of a nearby tree to avoid falling. It's hot to breathe. The throat felt like it was on fire.

However, the man's hand completely covered my hand.

- If you don't hurry to death.

I have to die. Hurry up.

It's too late.

If you don't die soon.

No matter what method is used.

"-Sa!! Alyssa!!"

Suddenly came to his senses. In front of him was Mr. Rodrich with a desperate expression. He grabbed my shoulder and shook it gently.

I was supposed to go down the hallway, but before I knew it, I was on the balcony of my room. I don't know why, my hands and feet are trembling.

"Ah...... Hey? What the hell do I want to do?"

Hearing my stupid voice, Mr. Rodrich breathed a deep sigh of relief. The hand was lifted off my shoulder.

"Great......"

"Huh? Wait、What's wrong? What happened? Alas, I'm scared of myself. ”

"Forget it. If you're scared, forget about it. ”

Ms. Rodrich brought a blouse from inside and helped me fight.

"Does Mr. Rodrich know anything?"

“…… If you don't know, you're lying, because he's one of the people involved. ”

I understand that "Fear of a Dark Place" means more than just not being good at horror and stuff.

The same goes for shaking off Rodrich's hand.

It's very vivid, as if it had really been before.

"She forgot a lot of things. Still, maybe that's fine. In the past, she only looked at Abel occasionally, relaxed the corners of her mouth, and felt empty every day. ”

Mr. Rodrich stood next to me standing on the balcony. With just a flick of his finger, the yard was filled with firefly-like light. The atmosphere brightened up all at once.

Probably considering that I'm not good at dark places.

"Wow...... Ahh

"Now you have a lot of happy things, and your expression has become richer."

Light forms the shape of a butterfly. As soon as I reached out, I swung the tips of my fingers.

"So before me, was I not energetic?"

"yes......"

Rodrich lowered his eyes. The long eyelashes cast a shadow on the fair skin.

"I don't want you to give up on life so easily. That's why I proposed. I know you don't want to be in this marriage. …… I don't know if I'm really doing the right thing. ”

Soft sea-blue pupils illuminate the courtyard below. The light scattered around the flowers is beautiful.

"The Kishlet royal family is a clan of light attributes. From an early age, he was taught the light that guides the people. I also want to be a signpost that illuminates the path of others. ”

Mr. Rodrich turned to me as if he had decided something, and smiled slightly.

"This time, your ex-fiancée will come to the royal city, whether it is me, your ex-fiancée, or your wife, it is all related to the past that you should forget.

If there's something you'd like to do, don't hesitate to say it. If you say you want to break up with me, I'll accept the divorce. In order not to disadvantage you, I intend to act to the maximum. Listen to your child as well. Livelihood support

You—maybe it's better to get rid of the past. ”

Memories without memories emerge like a flashing background.

I know of obvious anomalies myself.

Mr. Rodrich said it was better to forget, but I also thought it would be better not to know.

However, isn't it common for the crown prince to divorce?

And, yes.

He was still touching my flat belly, with a father's face. But he loves Abel and is a foolish father, so he will not give up on his children easily.

Well, this is really quite a thing, right?
