Don’t Run Away My Lord

78 – A fight in which someone loses (4)

It was Liana who moved first.

She walked with long strides and squatted down on a flower pot.

And then.

“It’s mom!”

Keita, who saw a stream of urine shooting out from between Liana’s crotch, was scared and turned her body around.

The scene of a grown human woman urinating in a flower pot in front of everyone was a bit uncomfortable for me to watch.

After all the urine, Liana got up and looked back at Ciliafari.

“What are you doing? Are you scared?”

“If you play with your tongue like that one more time, I’ll rip your mouth out…”

“Hohoho. Be scared.”

The really scary thing was Liana.

How thick are the nerves to be able to act like that?

“If you don’t have confidence, give up. No one will say anything.”

“It’s noisy…!”

Celia Paris eventually winced and squatted down on her flower pot to urinate.

I decided to leave the flower pot, which was soaked with the urine of the two women, on the terrace of the office.

Keita sealed the door leading to the terrace and the surrounding area with magic.

For the sake of objectivity and neutrality, I did not add my magic there.

“No one can touch the flower pot until we see the results in two days. If they touch it, I will know immediately.”

“Okay. Then Ciliapari. Liana.”

Liana, smiling with her arms crossed, and Celia Paris, with her arms wrapped around hers, looking sullenly intimidated, looked at me.

“Let’s be clear here. Two days later. The side where the barley germinates is definitely pregnant. And when that time comes, accept the result.”

“That won’t happen, but what happens if we both get pregnant?”

I answered Liana’s question with what I had in mind.

“I’ll think about it again then.”

Liana smiled and looked back at Ciliafari.

“I’m going back and packing my bags. I came empty-handed to begin with, so I probably don’t even have anything to pack. I just burned my underwear.”

“You… You…!”

“Both of you are quiet.”

I pointed to the office door with my finger.

“Both of you go out. No. We went out together and then we fought again, so go out one by one. Liana first.”

“Yes, honey.”

At Liana’s playful name, Keita held her head as if her lord’s castle would collapse at any moment, and Celia Paris seemed as if she would truly let go of her polymorph.

I glared at Liana with her stern eyes.

“Be careful with your words and actions, Liana.”

“I understand, my lord.”

Liana left her office, twitching her plump buttocks.

Celia Paris tried to say something to me, but she raised her hand.

“No… We’ll talk about it in two days.”

As Celia Paris left the office, Keita sighed, her white lips trembling.

“Ha… Really… I don’t think even ten hearts would be enough…”

“It will all be decided in two days. Just be patient.”

“I understand… But I’m scared that the two of you will try to end things in the meantime…”

Keita said, wiping his sweaty forehead.

“Regardless of whether they are pregnant or not, if one of them dies…”

“At least we don’t have to kill each other. Cilia Paris, who is a dragon, cannot penetrate Liana’s divine shield, and her divine power will not be enough to instantly kill her Cilia Paris.”

“That’s good, but…”

“You should go back and rest, Keita. I’ll report on Caple Tower later.”

“Okay. Then…”

After Keita left, I looked out the terrace glass at the flower pots placed side by side.

* * * * *

Nothing happened for two days.

Ciliapari acted as if he was completely insane.

They tore up all the blankets and set fire to the bedroom, so all the employees of Yeongju Castle had to be mobilized to put out the fire.

If I hadn’t slept and cast a strong binding spell around her bedroom, Lianna would have been caked in blood and stuck to her floor by now.

On the other hand, Liana was extremely gentle and relaxed.

Since I first met her in the desert, she had never seemed in a better mood than she had these past two days.

The vassals were more afraid of the cheerful Liana than the gloomy Ciliafari.

Someone thought it was time for the Chamberlain to die.

If a person suddenly becomes different from usual, they say they are on the verge of death.

Anyway, two days passed as if I was walking on thin ice.

I sat in the office and waited for Ciliafari and Liana.

Keita, who had come to remove the spell on the flower pot, was wearing a robe and trembling with protective magic applied to her body.

“Ho… If you two fight… It might be okay, my lord… But I’ll end up dead…”

“I will protect you, so don’t worry too much.”

Still, Keita looked uneasy.

Actually, I don’t feel anxious about that either, so I took some measures.

Under the pretext of training assuming an emergency situation, an evacuation order was issued to all humans in and around the castle.

If Ciliafari or Liana run wild, of course I will suppress them, but this is in case unavoidable damage occurs in the process.

If Cilia Paris, contrary to its promise, fires a signal spell at the island…

Let’s go and think about it then.

Soon, Liana and Ciliapari entered the office.

Liana looked at Celia Paris, lightly caressing her lower abdomen with her hand, as if showing off.

Keita was afraid and added a layer of her protective magic.

Ciliafari had a gaunt and dry appearance that was difficult to see as a human, and it lowered its gaze helplessly to the floor.

I thought there would be another fight, but it was unexpected.

I had Keita remove the magic on the terrace.

Once the spell was broken, I personally carried the flower pot to the terrace and entered the office.

I placed the flower pot on the desk and opened my mouth.

“As you can see…”

Barley germinated in only one of the two pots.

The owner of that flower pot.

“Oh my? What should I do with this?”

Liana made an exaggeratedly sad expression and opened her mouth in a pretentious tone.

The flowerpot in which the barley germinated belonged to Liana.

“I guess it’s impossible to get pregnant with a polymorph body.”

In response to Liana’s provocation, Celia Paris said nothing and just looked at her own flower pot with her empty eyes.

“You must be very heartbroken. But what can you do? We both agreed and started this, right? You have to accept the result and leave.”

Keita slowly backed away from Liana, looking like he wanted to cover her mouth at any moment.

I also kept a close eye on the cilia flies, fearing they might run rampant.

But surprisingly…

“Okay… I lost…”

Celia Paris opened her mouth emotionlessly, as if she had let go of everything.

“As promised to Ergaduk, I will leave… Of course, I will never reveal this to my blood relatives either…”

Although her face was smiling, Liana, who was generating divine power with her hands hidden behind her back just in case, curled her mouth in slight surprise.

Celia Paris looked at Liana and smiled her gray smile.

“Congratulations on your pregnancy, Liana. Please give birth to a child who resembles Ergaduk and raise it well…”

“Uh, yes…”

Liana becomes infinitely stronger to the strong.

But when Celia Paris declares her surrender like that, she must be deeply embarrassed.

“Then… Goodbye, Ergaduk. Although it was only a fleeting moment… I was happy to be with Ergaduk. I will never forget it until I die…”

It is not right to say things like ‘go a little later’ here.

That would rather dishonor Cilia Paris.

It is correct to just send it.

“Okay… Goodbye, Celiapari…”

Celia Paris slowly turned her body and slipped out of the office.

When the door closed, Keita, who was relaxed, sat down on the floor and gasped.

Liana placed her hand on her lower stomach and stared at her closed door.

Soon a scream came from outside the window.

When I turned my head, I saw a black dragon with five wings spread out, flying over Yeongju Castle and crossing the city center.

* * * * *

Ciliapari left, and peace was restored to Yeongju Castle.

Pregnant Liana no longer did anything to scare her Keita.

Liana thought that I was now completely hers, but she actually treated her Keita very kindly.

The same was true for her other vassals.

At first, the vassals were whispering that they had to prepare her hospital room as the chamberlain was also suffering from dementia, but as this continued for several months, she gradually got used to the changed Liana.

Liana’s relationship with me also changed.

In the past, the relationship was between guide and employee, chamberlain and lord, but now it is different.

Although we didn’t officially get married, the news had already spread within the lord’s castle that Liana was pregnant with his child, and everyone saw Liana as the lord’s wife.

As Liana’s stomach grew, she wanted to quit her job as chamberlain, but there was no one suitable for her so she continued to work.

But we shared the same bedroom, and outside of her working hours, Liana called me by my first name, not her lord.

Erga or honey.

* * * * *

After summer and winter, spring has come again.

Liana’s belly grew bigger and bigger, and she was now so big that it was difficult to wear her clothes.

It is said that humans have a gestation period of approximately nine months.

You’re giving birth soon.

As Liana said before, should she build a separate mansion in a secluded place?

Of course, they had already invited experienced midwives and older women to serve Liana to the castle.

One day, in her bed, Liana patted her stomach and said to me.

“I’ve been thinking about it. How about naming her child Erhina? She’s a combination of Erga and my name.”

“Wasn’t that what she was going to be given when the wyvern was born?”

No, but… Now that I think about it, it’s time for the wyverns to hatch, so why hasn’t there been any news yet?

Liana responded with a soft smile.

“But, this is how a child was born.”

“Yeah. That’s okay.”

At first, when Liana got pregnant with her baby, I honestly didn’t have any feelings.

I did not consider Liana my mate or feel any paternal love for my unborn child.

But once Lianna’s stomach was full and her sensitive hearing sensed a little life stirring within it, she changed her mind.

I began to feel affection and responsibility for Liana and her unborn child.

Liana may be cunning and sometimes vicious, but she is still devoted to me.

He put his heart and soul into helping me become Count Gouda, and even gave up his own revenge for me.

And now, after giving birth to my child, he is lying next to me like this.

Thanks to Liana, I finally took root in human society, which is what I decided to do when I escaped from the island.

I achieved my dream of living in a new home in the human world.

“Liana. Thank you for being by my side.”

Liana responded to my words with her beautiful smile.

“I love you too, Erga.”

That night.

I left the bedroom and went to the office.

I tore off one of the floorboards under the desk and took out a small box from inside.

This is what I had Wolpert bring from the window nine months ago, when Ciliapari and Liana were competing to get pregnant.

Now that I no longer need it, I plan to burn it down.

I opened the lid and checked the contents.

There were several thin films of white, tough material rolled up like rings.

This is made by processing slime and is a human tool to prevent accidental pregnancy.

Ciliafari probably thought I wore an eyepatch to perform perverted acts…

Actually, it was to use this.
