101 – Side Story – Take Charge
Thumb! Thud! Thud!
As usual, the man who was drinking at the store after work finished, opened his mouth to see people running around busily outside the window.
“You’re running around again today.”
“Huh? Do you know why they are in a hurry?”
“Heh heh. Look at this man Can you still do business with such slow rumors?”
Looking at the man, the man let out a small laugh.
The man must have been a little offended by that appearance, and said with a frown.
“Don’t you know? Because of that monster that appeared the other day, I packed my bags and fled to the south, and came back here yesterday.”
“I know that. Didn’t you abandon Joong-Ang, where you grew up since childhood, and run away to live alone?”
“… ….”
However, the man kept his mouth shut.
Then he coughed softly and opened his mouth slowly, clearing his throat.
“So tell me why they are running around.”
“It’s not such a big deal. No Can’t that mean it’s not great at all?”
The man did not immediately explain to his man.
Then he lightly shook the empty small wine glass in his hand.
He didn’t bother to say anything, but the man who knew what his actions meant opened his mouth with a deep sigh.
“Whoa… …. Got it. Bring me two bottles of wine here.”
“Kheuhyeot. I’m sorry for always having to eat you.”
Saying it in a tone that didn’t show the slightest hint of sorry, the man refilled his glass and immediately poured the drink into his mouth.
“Kuhh. After all, the sake you get is the most delicious.”
“I’m done with drinking, so let me tell you why.”
“Oops. I forgot to tell you for a moment. As I said before, it’s not such a big deal. Those of you who subdued that monster the other day know, right?”
“Ugh! This person! No matter how much I took refuge for a while, don’t you know that? Archmage Fenia and Sword Master Sir Aline. And isn’t it the Duke of Rail Violand?”
Still, he knew exactly who made the biggest contribution to subjugating the dragon, whether he was a man or a merchant.
“Now they are making statues of them. Was it about ten days ago? As soon as Duke Rail woke up, the emperor checked the Duke’s physical condition and immediately ordered a statue of him to be made.”
“Hwang, Your Majesty the Emperor?”
“Yes. I heard that Duke Rail helped Her Majesty the Emperor Helena to become emperor.”
“If it’s His Majesty’s order, I’d be able to move so quickly.”
At the man’s explanation, the man nodded and drank his glass.
He explained that it was no big deal, but when I heard it, all the information was well worth the price of alcohol.
“More than that, is it really the fact that the Duke of Rail has awakened?”
“When have you ever seen me lie? Now that he too has advanced to the center, he shines his face here once again. Uh… ? Isn’t the person outside the window right now the Duke of Rail?”
The man who had been talking stopped for a moment and looked out the window with his eyes wide open.
The man thought the man was making fun of him and tried to get angry.
But he looked too real to be joking, so he turned his head away just in case.
“Oops! Is that really the Duke of Rail?”
Black hair that went up all back. A sharp jawline and a sharp nose. And the charismatic sharp eyes were the same as the rails of rumors.
“…… You sure have a handsome face as rumored.”
“Do you think only the face is handsome? They say that since he came to the center, he has been directly helping ordinary people who have suffered damage every day.”
And as if to prove the man’s words, a loud noise can be heard from the street where the rails pass.
“It’s the Duke of Rail!”
“Duke, have you been comfortable?”
Although he has never seen his face, the children who heard about him and recognized him welcomed him.
And as soon as the merchants, who didn’t pay much attention to anything other than their own customers, saw Rail’s face, they smiled and started greeting him.
Until a few years ago, there were no more gossips and bad reviews about rails that had been circulating all over the continent.
They thought of Rail as a person who had a warm heart for people regardless of social status, and risked his life to protect the people even though he was an aristocrat.
And if there is any gossip about Rail, the rumor that the person who wentssiped about it is like catching a dog on the day of the ox was a rumor that even Rail didn’t know about.
“And the person next to you is Princess Chloe. They definitely get along well.”
Looking at Rail and Chloe walking side by side like a good couple, the man gave a small smile.
Then the man sitting across from him carefully lowered his voice and opened his mouth.
“…… This is information that only I know, but there are rumors that there is not only one wife of the Duke of Leil, Princess Chloel.”
“Is that true? hahahaha… …. He is a wonderful person in many ways.”
Her man looked at the rails with a look of reverence on her face.
And at the same time, while having a conversation with the residents who flocked to him, he looked at the large statue in front of Rail, who did not know that his story was coming and going in his shop.
“Isn’t it pretty well made?”
“… It’s a problem because it’s made so well.”
Chloe nodded her head with her face as if she understood a little bit at her answer.
Looking at the statue of herself, which was bigger than her mansion, she couldn’t help but feel her face heat up a bit.
Moreover, she felt more embarrassed because she was confident between Fenia, the archmage holding a staff on her left, and Allin holding a sword on her right.
“Are you feeling better now?”
“Yes. I was just lying down for a while because I used too much magic power.”
Rail replied so that Chloe wasn’t worried.
But Rail, who didn’t wake up for two weeks, was really on the verge of death.
‘I almost got into trouble.’
I used almost all of my mana to stop the meteorite with psychokinesis magic.
However, he didn’t stop there and borrowed future magic with the artifact Alice gave him and used it.
Thanks to that, however, many people were injured, but no one died.
Even if he went back then, Rail thought he would have made the same choice as he did back then.
Rail, who had been looking at the statue for a while, noticed that the sky had turned dark.
“Is the time like this already?”
“Let’s go home now.”
Nodding my head, I and Chloe moved to the mansion that Helena had made for the dwarves herself.
And when we got home, Luna, who had been waiting for us, met my eyes and came this way.
“Have you been there? Master.”
“I’m back. Luna.”
“You worked hard today too. Luna.”
Chloe casually exchanged greetings with Luna, as if living together in the mansion was well adapted.
“Is Fenia inside?”
“Yes. Fenia-sama is resting in her room right now.”
“I’m glad. She is a little tired because she has met a lot of people outside.”
“Oh, and Lady Iris has been looking for her master since broad daylight.”
“Okay. She tells Iris she’s back.”
“Okay.”
While Rail lay down, Iris lost her name as a saint and was expelled from her temple.
It is unacceptable for a saintess who has to keep herself safe in the temple to throw herself into the battlefield.
Furthermore, the pope, who saw Iris’ wounds on the battlefield instead of returning safely, retrieved the title of saint.
Thanks to that, Iris also came to live in our mansion.
Thanks to the emperor’s direct request, the mansion was bigger and stronger than before, so it didn’t change much even if her housemate increased by one.
Knock. Knock.
“Penia. It’s me.”
Arriving in front of Fenia’s room before I knew it, I lightly knocked on the door and opened my mouth.
Then the door opened automatically even though I didn’t open it myself.
“Did you come to get the potion?”
“Yes. And if possible, ask for some cleaning magic.”
“Me too, please. Fenia.”
“… ….”
Penia’s bright smile when she saw Rail’s face hardened immediately when she saw Chloe.
But Chloe smiled brightly at her Penia.
“Whoa… …. Okay.”
Eventually, Fenia took her gaze and used magic on the two with her face saying that she couldn’t help her sigh.
When she lightly flicked her fingers, her clothes and body, which were drenched in sweat, instantly changed to dry.
It’s been magic quite a few times, but it’s always convenient and good magic.
“Don’t leave anything behind, just drink it all.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
And Rail emptied the potion Fenia had given him on the spot.
Unlike the potions I had eaten so far, it didn’t have a bad taste, but I drank all of them without leaving anything because my body recovered enough to feel it every time I drank it.
After confirming that she drank all her potions, Fenia nodded her head in satisfaction.
“Do you want to go to bed now?”
“That’s how it should be. Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet.”
“Okay. Then sleep well. See you tomorrow.”
“Sleep well, Fenia.”
“…… Huh.”
Seeing Chloe smiling like her fox, Fenia replied curtly.
After saying goodbye to Fenia, Rail moved straight to his bedroom.
Arriving at the room, he must have been a bit tired from walking all day, so he immediately sat down on the bed.
If it wasn’t for the potion Fenia made every day, it would have been difficult for her to be able to walk around the world like today.
I wanted to lie down on the bed and go to sleep, but I got up slowly to act befitting a duke.
And that’s when she was about to take off her clothes and change into her nightgown.
Sureureut.
I hadn’t taken off my clothes yet, but I heard the sound of undressing from the other side.
Then he turned his head to where the sound came from, and instead of returning to his room, Chloel, who had come along the rails, was watching him, wearing only his underwear.
“… ….”
“… ….”
Chloe met Rail’s eyes and avoided his head with a slightly red face.
And even though Rail didn’t say anything, he opened his mouth in a slightly trembling voice, probably because his feet were numb.
“It’s really a couple now, but it’s not strange to share the same room…… ?”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Poem, noisy!”
Clearly shouting, Chloe strode toward the rail with a red face.
Puffed up.
And Chloe, who pushed Rail’s shoulders and laid her on the bed, looked at Rail with a blushing face.
New fluid. New fluid.
I can hear each other’s breathing right in front of me.
A bit of shortness of breath tickles Rail’s face.
Chloe is no longer Rail’s fiancé.
She formally raised the rails and her ceremony and she became his wife.
That’s why I would normally have kept a close line, but I didn’t keep it anymore.
Chloe closed her eyes and kissed Rail’s mouth.
Then I slowly put my tongue in and shared a deep kiss with Rail.
“Haa… …. Ha….”
Chloe, who had been holding her breath for the first time, let out a rough breath.
But he seems to have caught on a little bit, and Chloe kissed Rail once again.
The tongues of each other were intertwined.
Chloe kept kissing her and casually took off her underwear and laid it down on the bed.
Flinch. Rail was a little taken aback by her aggressive appearance, but she seemed to soon adjust to it, and she grabbed his waist with her hand.
“Ugh…… !”
And as expected, Chloe’s body flinched at Rail’s skinship.
However, she soon accepted Rail’s touch and was about to change her posture to go beyond her progress.
Thump!
The door to the bedroom, which had been closed, was wide open.
It was extremely rude to enter the duke’s room late at night without permission, but when Rail saw the face of the person who opened the door, he couldn’t say anything.
“Rails… ….”
Iris, the former saint of Grace Temple and the first person to kiss Reil, was looking at her blushing face.
“After all, did you cross the line without me? Chloe?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about. Iris. Is it strange that married couples share the same bed?”
It was embarrassing to have anyone else know about the current situation, but Chloe provoked Iris with a foxy smile.
“If you’re that envious, why don’t you go with Iris? Ah, Iris must be ashamed because she hasn’t seen a male body yet?”
Looking at Iris, who blushed even more at her words, Chloe chuckled.
But her laughter didn’t last long.
“Okay… …. I was half expecting it to be like this anyway.”
It was said to make fun of Iris for her inexperience with men, but Iris nodded her head seriously.
She then, without the slightest hesitation, undid the clothes she was wearing.
She then said that she was not wearing underwear, and her white flesh caught her eye.
“Oh, Iris?”
Rail called out to Iris with a very flustered face.
But Iris walked toward the rail with a red face.
Puffed up.
Then Iris, who got on the bed of her rail, looked at her rail.
“It’s all Rail’s fault. So take responsibility.”
Saying that, Iris hugged Rail’s body and she kissed her with him, sharing her deep kiss.
‘Where did Iris-sama go?’
At the same time, Luna, who she was looking for to inform Iris that the rails had arrived, came back down to the first floor.
Then she went to ask Rail if she had met her Iris, and Luna arrived in front of Rail’s room and opened the door with a small knock.
“Master. By any chance, where is Iris-sama…….”
But Luna, who opened Rail’s door, couldn’t finish her words.
“… Big hmm Come to think of it, she forgot that Lady Layla called her.”
Luna said that and carefully closed the door with a slightly flushed face so as not to disturb them.
