“Then, King Maintia, I’ll leave this matter in your hands. Please take care of it.”
“Thank you. Leave it to me.”
He looked at us with his usual serene smile. He picked up the dagger, which had Cabaret sealed within it, slowly sheathed it, and then carefully tucked it into his chest pocket. Having confirmed that, we left the room and walked slowly through the corridor of the guest house towards the office where the teleportation barrier was located.
To be honest, I was fully intent on defeating that Cabaret spirit no matter what. A single misstep, and both Rico and our unborn child could have died. However, the aura of King Maintia somehow calmed my spirit. I wondered if he possessed the power to soothe people’s anger and hatred as we walked, noticing that Sidy was pressing her temple with her finger.
“Are you okay? Sorry to disturb your rest, Sidy.”
“No, I’m fine. More importantly, it’s truly fortunate that we could soothe the spirit. And to think it had absorbed an air spirit, I would never have guessed. I’d like to find time to research this soon with Mei and Soleil.”
“Don’t think too hard about it. You’ll get a headache again.”
“Yes, I’ll be careful. And… about the Deer God…”
“Ah, shall we go see him tomorrow? I’ll come with you.”
“Thank you.”
As we talked, we arrived at the office.
“Shall we head back?”
“Yes.”
Sidy hugged me tightly. Although it wasn’t necessary for teleportation, Sidy often hugged me like this when we were alone.
“We’re back!”
When we returned to the mansion, the entire family was seated at the dining table. Even Peyris, who is usually in the kitchen, was sitting down. She noticed our return and called out, and immediately, everyone’s gaze turned towards us.
“What’s going on? … Why is Roni also here?”
Roni was sitting between Rico and Mei. She stood up gracefully and bowed slightly.
“I have something to tell you, so I was waiting for your return. Please, take a seat first.”
“A report? Oh! Has Roni decided to get married?”
“No. I have no plans to marry, nor do I have someone to marry. There’s no reason for me to marry, nor do I wish to.”
“Oh, that’s… I’m sorry. So, what’s this report about?”
The atmosphere became slightly awkward. I felt a bit sorry and sat down next to Sidy in an empty seat.
“This fall, with plenty of time ahead, I consulted with Chiwan, hoping I can continue to take care of things as I have been.”
Roni started speaking while bowing slightly again. I exchanged puzzled glances with Sidy, waiting for Roni’s next words.
“That’s all.”
“Sorry, Roni. I don’t understand.”
“Oh, my apologies. It’s about the childbirth.”
“What, Rico’s? Eh? Wasn’t it supposed to be in the summer? Did you say fall? I thought it was mid-July. Is that wrong? Wait, something doesn’t add up.”
Seeing my panic, Rico chuckled.
“Roni, you’re not making it clear to Linos. You have to explain from the beginning. I’m sorry, Linos. It’s not about me. Roni has explained several times, so the story got mixed up.”
“My apologies. After all… it’s the seventh time.”
Roni looked embarrassed. I was completely lost and stared at Roni, tilting my head.
“Lady Considy is pregnant.”
“Eh?”
“What?”
Sidy and I were stunned by the unexpected news. As we looked back and forth between each other, Roni spoke again.
“Today, when examining with Lady Mei, we conducted a urine test. Just to be sure, and it revealed that she is pregnant. It seems to be a very early pregnancy, probably about a month. Lady Considy, I advise against any strenuous activities until the child is more settled… Ah, before that, congratulations.”
Roni straightened up and bowed again.
“Congratulations!”
“Congratulations!!”
Following Roni’s lead, the entire family joined in congratulating us. However, this was so unexpected that both Sidy and I were left speechless, mouths agape.
“Sidy”
Rico stood up slowly, came over to us, and took Sidy’s left hand in both of hers, smiling gently.
“Congratulations.”
“Let’s both do our best to give birth to healthy children. If there’s anything, feel free to consult me anytime.”
“Sidy, I’m here for you to consult with as well.”
Mei spoke with a smile. Sidy seemed unsure of how to respond, her mouth opening and closing as she alternately looked at Rico and Mei.
“Linos,”
While holding Sidy’s hand, Rico turned her gaze towards me.
“Please say something to Sidy.”
Prompted by her words, I snapped back to reality and, holding Sidy’s free right hand, began to speak.
“Sidy, congratulations. And thank you. Let’s have a healthy child. If there’s anything troubling you, I’ll also help. Let’s raise our child with the support of the entire family. So… you’ve been throwing up a few times, could that have been morning sickness? Please, don’t overdo anything from now on. Take care of yourself first, okay?”
“Yes… yes… I’m so happy…”
Sidy nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down her face, as the family once again showered us with congratulatory words.
“Ah! Then me… oh no… what about the baby in my belly…”
Suddenly, Sidy stood up, clutching her stomach and trembling.
“What’s wrong, Sidy?”
“I… I jumped on King Maintia…”
“Oh!”
“What do you mean?”
Confused, Roni listened as I recounted the incident from a few days ago, where Sidy leaped from Illymo’s back onto King Maintia, then fell onto the snow and pinned the king down with a sword. Roni calmly took notes on a piece of paper as I spoke, and then, looking up, she addressed Sidy with a calm voice.
“Did you experience any bleeding afterwards?”
“No, not at all.”
“Then, it should be fine, but let’s conduct a thorough examination just in case.”
“Yes…”
Sidy went to another room accompanied by Mei and Roni… In the end, no abnormalities were found with her or the baby, and we all breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, I teleported with Sidy to the Deer God of the Niza Duchy.
“Oh! It’s been a while! It’s rare to see you two together.”
As we approached the great tree where the Deer God was enshrined, he immediately appeared in human form, smiling broadly, probably because Sidy is so cute. I quickly took out offerings from my infinite storage, especially since we had joyous news to share this time. Though mostly alcohol and snacks, it was quite a large quantity.
“Oh, such a generous offering… Your food is always delicious. I’m looking forward to it.”
The Deer God was visibly pleased.
“We’ve returned this time to make a request and report.”
Sidy explained in a respectful tone about sealing the spirit within the dagger blessed by the Deer God. He listened intently, then slowly nodded and addressed Sidy.
“I see. You sealed a vengeful spirit undergoing demi-spiritualization. If my blessed item was of use, then I am doubly pleased. Then, Considy, have your father forge a new dagger. Only the Dwarf King Aimon can create a spirit sword that can receive my blessing.”
“Understood. I will promptly visit the castle and inform my father. Also, I have a report… I am blessed with Linos’s child.”
Sidy spoke a bit shyly. The Deer God’s eyes widened, and he clapped his hands together.
“So it is! Well done! I’ve been looking forward to it! Yes, yes! Well, in keeping with the tradition when a prince is born, have your father forge another sword.”
“Um… Deer God, it’s not yet confirmed if it’s a prince…”
“It is a prince.”
“Eh?”
“The Dwarf King’s lineage has always welcomed a male child as the firstborn. Thus, Considy, your child is almost certainly a prince.”
“Yes… Understood.”
“Um… Deer God…”
“Oh, Lord Linos. I am delighted by the birth of Considy’s and your child.”
“Thank you very much. I have another matter to discuss… Around the same time Sidy became pregnant, she started experiencing strange phenomena. She’s been unusually sharp-minded, almost like she has foresight…”
“That’s to be expected. The women of the royal family who receive my blessing become more sensitive when pregnant.”
“Does that mean Sidy’s recent experiences are…”
“My blessing is the cause. Including Considy, there have been four royal women blessed by me, and all of them became more sensitive during pregnancy. My daughter, Cradle, for instance, instantly detected her husband’s infidelity and nearly caused a scandal out of anger… Ah, memories.”
The Deer God chuckled with a sly smile. Apparently, this phenomenon was observed in Cradle during her first pregnancy. This “cheat ability” fades as the pregnancy stabilizes, and until then, we were advised to make beneficial use of this ability.
The headaches Sidy had been worrying about seemed to gradually lessen. Marrying me had enhanced her abilities, making her even more perceptive. Thus, attempting anything deceitful would almost certainly be instantly detected by Sidy, and I was advised to behave myself for a while. Although I had no intention of doing anything wrong, I resolved to take the Deer God’s words to heart.
Afterward, we thanked the Deer God and headed straight to the Dwarf King’s castle.
At that time, in the king’s room, the Dwarf King, with an angry expression, was standing before a man who was trembling with a pale face. Just as the king was about to speak to the man, a servant reported that Considy had returned with Linos.
The king showed a moment of surprise but then returned to his usual demeanor and addressed the trembling man.
“I’ll give you one more chance. There won’t be another. If you can’t forge a sword that meets my standards, I’ll disinherit you. Put your life into it, Galto.”
The man trembling before the king was Considy’s brother, the next Duke of Niza, Niza Galto…
