"I'm home~ Hey! Mom, listen, listen!!!"
Emily, Desmond's own daughter, who was very serious and had elaborately planned to marry her blood father, shouted loudly as she arrived home. In her hand was a basket of strawberries that she had obtained in exchange for potatoes.
This was the house where Emily and her mother lived, adjoined to a school Desmond established. The family's daily income came from teaching at the school, the potatoes farm was more for training in field management and for bartering than to generate income.
Emily has blond hair and blue eyes inherited from Desmond. By nature, many of the inhabitants of this world are good-looking, and her mother is no exception. A mixture of Desmond's blood, albeit a newly risen aristocrat, enhances her features, and even her fragrance is imbued with a hint of elegance. Even though she was still a young girl, she certainly would grow up to be a beautiful woman in the future.
Although still very young, she still looks lovely, so when the six-year-old rushes to her mother's side with a lively look on her face, it is nothing short of innocent and adorable. --except for the words that came out of her mouth after.
"That beautiful woman who was with Desmond-sama was his wife, Charlotte-sama. Although she had neglected Desmond-sama all this time, she had turned around and she was all over him. Maybe Charlotte-sama was more in love with Desmond-sama than he was with her at this point. So I told her that I have a crush on Desmond! Just as planned!"
That woman is so scary! I'm much, much younger and she can compete with me, she's insanely cute!"
reflecting on that time, she made a "grunting" expression with a childish face. It was indeed adorable. But still, there was a glimpse of a mature woman in it, and if her real father sees this, he will surely hold his head with both hands.
Given modern Japanese ethics, her own mother would have admonished her daughter for not only acting not like her age but also being too reckless. However, her own mother who had raised Emily and even provided her with various types of "training" for her "future," did not do so.
"That is a grave situation. ...I had planned to accompany Emily when she married him as quasi-nobility and have him fall in love with us both mother and daughter but now...."
Sophie, the daughter of the former mayor and the current town mayor, and the director of the academy that Desmond established looks at her daughter, who was the pride of her life between her and her beloved.
Sophie, like many of the natives of this region, has hazel eyes. And her eyes are droopy. Her flaxen hair is tied up with ribbons at the ends and around her nape.
Emilie's appearance always makes her feel happy because she is a daughter born of the seed of her beloved one.
Her manner of speaking was soft and gentle, with a soft yet clear edge to her words, hinting at her wisdom.
--Or, one could call it cunning.
"You made the right choice, Emily. No doubt it was embarrassing for Desmond-sama - for which I deeply feel sorry for him - but now Emily will no longer be left out of the picture. And Charlotte-sama's reaction would have told Desmond-sama that Emily was serious about the matter. As expected of mine and Desmond-sama child."
"Yup!"
The carefree smile on the little girl's face is adorable. Despite the content of their conversation that shouldn't happen between normal mother and child.
But for Sophie, who is seriously planning to marry off her daughter to the man she loves and have him take care of her, and Emily, who has been receiving her mother's "training," there is nothing strange about it.
--It may seem premature to reveal the "plan" but it seems to have worked out rather well for us, especially given the timing.
The mother thinks.
Currently, she is twenty-five years old, and she was nineteen when she gave birth to Emily, which is rather late for the first child in this world. She thought that it was because she looked sickly and weak, she had no one to marry her, and she thought she would die before she was able to have a child. But now, I became even more thankful that I was once born sickly. I was able to receive the nourishment of my beloved, my health recovered, and I was able to have a lovely daughter.
"So, what was Charlotte-sama is like?"
If you know your enemy and know yourself, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Emily is intelligent with her own heritage and has been taught from an early age. Despite the fact that she already is a noblewoman when she was in her womb, she had no knowledge about the noble's deceptions unlike Charlotte must have lived in an aristocratic society that was riddled with bluff and lies.
If possible, I would like to have a second child.
If he allows me to do so, no matter how old I am, no matter how dangerous my life is, I still want another child. It is not because I want a child with magical powers. I am a commoner and he is a noble. Even if we can't become husband and wife, it's the only way to prove that I have devoted my love to him.
I had prepared for it, but she didn't give Desmond-sama her attention for a long time, so I left her alone, and now suddenly She's looking at him as if she remember him, and even more, She's falling in love with him and sticking close to him that close all the time?
--I'm not going to allow such a thing. ...
"M-Mom?"
Sophie came to her senses when Emily, the fruit of his love and the proof of his love for her, called out to her with a look of fear. Her daughter Emily must have inherited this sense this from Desmond-sama. It made her shudder at the thought....
"No, it's nothing. So, what is Lady Charlotte like again?"
"umm...let's see...."
From what my daughter told me, however, I could not tell whether she was teasing or serious about the fact that she was competing with a six-year-old. But somehow my woman's intuition tells me that she is serious.
And it was the right move (even if Charlotte didn't realize it herself). However, I don't know if it was a foolish move or a sign that she was confident in her own abilities. Was it a move to look down on Emily as an adult and as a woman from a higher born and to compare her with her own abilities? I can't get a gauge on Charlotte's true intentions.
Even Sophie is a commoner. She knows that nobles often wear a facade when they talk to someone else, but that is something she has only heard about. when The only noble I have spoken to directly is Desmond-sama, but he is so direct, so I cannot use him as a reference to find Charlotte's real intention...
-- I don't know. Without being able to meet an opponent face to face, I cannot determine their true intentions....
"Uu... I should have been there. I want to aa~n Desmond-sama too."
Between a legitimate wife who has no children, a woman who is not even his mistress but loves him and has a child with him, and her daughter, they compete for him by feeding him strawberries.
We are lucky that such a thing did not actually happen. If it had actually happened, surely his heart would have stopped beating and his story would have come to an end.
"But, Charlotte-sama was talking so normally with Maia and Emily. ....."
"That's right."
At Emily's affirmation, Sophie put a finger to her lips and thought. Her pretty lips puckered up, making her look innocent and sexy at the same time. The one lesson of Emily's ongoing training is to be able to look sexy in this pose .... At the age of six.
Charlotte was supposed to be the daughter of an old noble family. If that were the case, there is no way she would see a commoner as a human being. It is not impossible that she was always like Desmond, that person would have left her husband alone for so long and not even looked at the territory that her husband ruled.
Which means--
--Lady Charlotte was trained by Desmond!
How enviable, I would have given anything to be trained and educated by him.
Although she is not wrong, Sophie cannot predict that the pair of lord and lady are training each other. there is no eroticism or sexual desire in this world after all. Sophie's love for Desmond and her desire for a child is not the same as her desire to have sex with him.
"This is not enough to tell us what kind of person Charlotte-sama is."
"I'm sorry."
Emily's shoulders slumped, but there was no way that a six-year-old could be so tactful to probe the words of a noble. getting any reaction is already almost impossible.
But It was all possible due to the result of Sophie's upbringing.
Then, in the meantime, I will formulate my own plan, and then I will put the art of war into Emily's head too.
With such seriousness and earnestness that would make Desmond flinch. this mother was aiming to take Desmond away from his wife. However, and have her daughter as his concubine.
"Oh, and Charlotte-sama asked Desmond-sama if he'd like to sire Maia, even if it's not her first wedding night."
"Really?"
Emily flinches at her mother's seriousness and eagerness, it was a natural reaction, given her age.
"Uh, yeah ... So she's saying about taking strawberries ..."
"----So, what does Desmond-sama say?" Sophie's nose was flaring. Emily had never seen her mother so riled up. "Is Desmond-sama going to seed Miss Maia?"
"Well ...De-Desmond-sama didn't say he would, but still, he didn't say he didn't want to it either. Perhaps if Charlotte-sama pushed harder--"
"It was Charlotte-sama who wanted it" Sophie enthused. She was not a dragon, but an angel who had finally been unsealed.
"What ... eh?"
Even the quintessential Emily is bewildered by her mother's behavior, Perhaps if Desmond had been here, he would have been relieved to know that no matter how smart she was, she was still a six-year-old girl, and reacted to something appropriate for her age.
"Emily, when you go to Desmond-sama's mansion, please ask him to let me go with you, by all means. "
"Uh, yeah, okay...."
She has no choice but to agree.
"Did they mention anything else? Like what's Charlotte-sama likes."
"Uh, let's see ..."
Emily frantically searches her memory, At that time Charlotte and Maia had been enjoying romance books before her visit. So the solution Emily's memory tapped out was.
"I didn't know what Charlotte-sama liked, but I did know one thing that Desmond-sama liked."
"Really!!"
It is important to shoot the horse in order to attack the general, but it's even more better if you manage to attack the general directly.
The mother leans over to listen the six-year-old Emily
"Tits."
"......?"
"Desmond-sama likes women's breasts. He likes it small or big, but he seems to be more attracted to the big ones. If I and Charlotte-sama compare our breasts together, the difference is so big, it's like I didn't have it at all. Charlotte-sama is as big as Maia - no, maybe even bigger, but she has such small shoulders that she can support that size, it's amazing to be a noble. and when Maia asked if he wanted to squeeze her, he look really happy"
This is a story one would never have thought.
I had no idea that my own six-year-old daughter had seen through him to that point...
But.
"---- Hou."
Emily was horrified by her mother's sigh, as if her mother's breath was letting out all of the extreme emotion and she was now left with nothing.
After all, Her mother, Sophie's breasts were ...
"I see now. I now understand why Desmond-sama was looking at another woman's breast when he was walking with me. Heh, heh, heh, heh, he likes big boobs."
Emily is too scared to look at her mother's face.
Sophie was currently smiling so wide as if it was pasted on her face - but she was not.
"O-Oh, maybe it's because mother let me suck on your tits to raise me so..."
"My breasts have always been about this size."
"........."
"He~e, So Desmond-sama really likes big boobs? hmm hmm."
"........."
"I need to find a way to make your boobs bigger, Unlike me, Emily is still growing."
"............"
"Then Emily, let's have dinner. In order to make your body bigger, you have to get nutrition first. Nutrition.... - perhaps milk is good for breast growth? fufufufufu Desmond-sama, brace yourself, I will show you that my daughter will grow up nicely. "
fufufu, fufufufu
Emily later told the story that her mother was indeed scary when she was angry, and she even got angry with her on more than one occasion.
But this kind of anger was something She had never felt before.
It was as if she had stepped on the tail of the dragon, after dragging it out of the cave.
In the near future, the demand for milk is skyrocketed in Aldora, where the boob-loving Desmond rules. But will he be able to keep his composure when he finds out the reason?
And what does Emily's future look like?
Sophie's comatose chuckle and her glued-on smile at dinner made the six-year-old resent her father for the first time, even if she did not know the reason for her mother's reaction.
Thus, the battle for Desmond was steadily being organized.
On the other hand, I can't help but feel that, in addition to the black flag, a pink black flag had also been raised for him. Is the lifeboat that helps and takes him out of the battle somewhere waiting for the right moment to set sail.
No one knows yet.
