CH 89

How does this happen?

"Thank you for inviting us today, Desmond-sama. You look wonderful and charming as ever. My daughter and I are honored that you are the lord of this estate."

At the parlor of my place, befitting a lord's mansion, no bragging!　It is elegant and classy, decorated with serene furnishings, creating an atmospheric feel without being overly glamorous.

A table in the center has elegantly carved wood as support and a glass plate on top. A sofa is on either side of it.

The lord's wife and The lord sitting side by side comfortably at the seat. I was wearing neither too casual nor too extravagant shirt and pants. Sitting next to me is Charlotte, with her wavy platinum blonde hair and big emerald eyes, so pretty that it's hard to believe she's the most senior among the group. And thanks to all the times I've taken her, her cute beauty now exudes a hint of sex appeal ――What is this invincible creature? ――Oh? she is my wife? ――Gufufu.

Although wrapped in a neat and fashionable dress, her irresistible body is not something that can be suppressed. I'll say it again because it's important, what an invincible creature.

The beautiful lord and lady sitting side by side on the sofa, it is a picture-perfect sight. In my previous life, I would have been obliterated by the sight of such a noble presence.

Beside her, Katherine, a first-class maid was standing by and "blocking" her presence to the point I had to turn my head to even notice her. She was Charlotte's personal maid, but since she was getting nightly double-teaming, plus carrying her master's illegitimate child in her womb, she belonged to me now, not to Charlotte.

Jeez, you really want my attention, don't you? ――Gufufu. I want to rub her big butt right now, but I can't do it here.

--I express my deepest regrets.

A cold beauty with her reddish hair tied up. She in her in a maid outfit, her body can be called lender except for her big buttocks. If you look at her from this side, you can't mistake her for anything but a first-class maid. I still can't believe that she is the same person as the naughty, useless masochist maid who quickly turns into a blubbering mess while the lord and the lady continue to work hard at each other.

Of course. she's really good at it.

I'm such a sinful man.

Although I want to, it was impossible for me to behave that way at this time.

After all, today was a tea party with the girls. --

"Desmond-sama and Charlotte-sama, thank you for inviting me today."

She said with a crisp voice.

Maia was sitting on the opposite sofa from us. A Twenty-seven years old.

She has a nice-looking peasant face that was well tanned by the Aldora's sun, her flaxen hair is in braids and she has a pair of auburn eyes, a characteristic of the people of this region. She looks like a good-natured lady with a pleasant air about her, and she is exactly what she looks like. ――At least, as far as I know.

Dressed in a modest short-sleeved blouse and trousers, she has a good build, probably because she does a lot of heavy farm work every day, and her arms are thick and muscular...... Her wide shoulders support a magnificent ample bosom that rivals Charlotte's (which is why it's ridiculous for my wife to have equally or greater bosom with those slender shoulders), and her buttocks, which sink into the sofa, are also very voluptuous.

She, like many of this world's residents, is a sight to behold.

Certainly a motherly figure, but it is hard to believe that she already has three children, the oldest of them being 11-year-old Hannah. By the way, I have never had any sort of sexual relationship with her.

-Un, I'm really glad about that.

Moreover, she is the first commoner friend of my beloved wife. Ah, this old man is about to shed tears of joy. After all, she, like me, has no friends - What? Why am I tearing up again?

--Let's just put it aside, before I left for my official duties in the Moire village, Charlotte was....

"Maia, would you like to come to my house?"

She made a promise.

And now it has finally been fulfilled.

Lastly, there was another that took advantage of the opportunity.

"Desmond-sama and Charlotte, thank you for inviting us today."

To the right, facing Maia, is Emily.

She is the daughter of a native of this area, but instead of flaxen hair and auburn eyes, she has golden hair and blue eyes, much like mine. Her features are still young at the age of six, but she contains nobility and a winning face that guarantees her beauty in the years to come...

--That's right, she is my real daughter.

My first child from the lord and the local.

Far from jealous or angry about her - although that didn't make her any less lonely - Charlotte was proud of the fact that I was fulfilling my duty as a noble by giving commoner my seed, and a child born from a commoner is not recognized as a member of the nobility. Remembering her innocent, pure, and sparkling eyes at that time, I feel my stomach tightening.

Emily, at the age of six, desperately wanted to have a baby with her daddy.

--Cough! (vomits blood) What she was doing was lethal weakening debuff magic that whittled away (and still is) her Papa's MP(mental point).............

If I'm not recognized as a descendant of a noble family, I'm not my daddy's child even though we are related by blood, so I can marry him, and with the power I inherited from my daddy along with the intelligence and education I inherited from my mommy, I can rise to the rank of quasi noble and then eventually become a concubine.......

What a bogus family plan!

But she is still a child. Even if she had such a scary plan, there is no immediate concern. Besides, I won't allow her to do such a dangerous thing to become a quasi-noble, Papa won't allow it!　She is my precious daughter no matter what!

There is no ulterior motive.

That girl is trying to get me, her dad.......

--Cough! (coughing blood)

Emily sits on the couch, looking adorable in her dress. But this cute six-year-old still called my 29-year-old wife cute, what an invincible creature...... --So far, so good.

but...

"It is a pleasure to meet you for the first time, Lady Charlotte."

To the right of Emily, she sits with a gentle smile on her face.

--Why is your mother with you!!

Why hadn't anybody told me? I, the lord, the highest authority in charge of deciding who to accept as a guest, had no idea Sophie was coming.

--Well, to be precise, Charlotte did ask me in advance whether it was okay to have one more visitor.

But it went some what like this.

"Alright, but who?"

"Come on, Desmond-sama. Can't you just look forward to it?"

And then she slumped down on the bed, and I was like.　　

"Fufu, fine, now that I'm giving you permission, why don't I make you pay with your body?"

"Ya~h, the wicked lord is going to force his hand on me... ♡"

-Ungh, that's totally my fault. 

Honey trap, how dangerous.

But! I can't believe you called Sophie!

Moreover, Charlotte slides up to me and intertwines her fingers with mine, as if she's trying to show off.

Hey, Sophie, you're trying to look nonchalant but you're clenching your fists! Our daughter is just there! She's smiling gently as usual, but her eyes aren't smiling!

Beauty with a gentle face like hers is nothing but scary!

Sophie is twenty-five years old. She has Emily at nineteen.

Her flaxen hair, characteristic of the people of this region is long and flowing, kept in place at the nape of her neck by ribbons at both ends respectively. As an inhabitant of this world, she is also very good-looking.

Opinions are divided on whether to call her other feature a chopping board or a cliff wall. But it is a rare commodity, if you are an older gentleman, you must be agreeing right now, nodding your head with a sincere smile at the fact that it has more advantages than simply "just there"

How one can value "something" when there is "nothing".

But there was more on my mind right now.

That was ――Aren't those showy blouses and skirts the same ones you wore when we made Emily?

--*clatter* *clatter* *clatter* *clatter*...... (desperately trying to keep my knees from shaking)

I knew she still had an affection towards me. After all, back then when she saw two sisters playing together, she said.

"Desmond-sama, if Desmond-sama had not been a noble, Emily would have another sister, or maybe even a younger brother?"

――Fufufu?　I wouldn't have been able to stomach it if she looked up at me with lovely, watery eyes and a somewhat melancholy face now that I'd remembered my past life and regained my libido, would I?

Even if I sense an interior motive in it.......

I'm scared.

--Am I going to die today?

If you're going to kill me, can you at least kill me gently, please?

Well, I don't think that Charlotte and Katherine would let them kill their beloved. It was Charlotte who set up this situation in the first place.

Katherine's investigation into events in my life begins from a long separation from my family—til now.......It was a long time, she had apparently been investigating every of my step and reporting back to Charlotte. So, it should be obvious that she knows Sophie has ongoing feelings for me and is trying to have another baby.......

.......No way, Charlotte-chan, you're not going to show Sophie how much you and I love each other and use her as a pawn in your insidious little games right?......as expected of a noble with too much time on her hands...........

That can't be the case, right?

Even though Charlotte is the daughter of the Count of Terrace, a noble family with a long and venerable history, and was educated with an ideology of noble supremacy, she herself is a good girl at heart. I tell her that commoners are human beings, that we are all human and now that she has a commoner friend, there is absolutely no reason to toy with her.

Yes - I believe that. Also, she's a naughty girl, naughty girl! (I said that twice because it's important.)

That's why, even if Charlotte knows from Katherine's investigation that Sophie is the mother of my First Child, the <D Children>, and has the right to ask the first night's right in which the people ask the lord for a nobleman's seed as a wedding gift. Also, the fact that I did know that her scheme starts when I had come to accept her, the fact that I held her and cherished her because she gave birth to my child. All of that has been conveyed to Charlotte through our newly developed "telepathy" so...... she can't possibly be planning to do something with her because of all that right.........

R-right?

*clatter* *clatter**clatter* *clatter* *shake* *shake*

I'm trying my best to keep it under control on the surface, but I can't seem to stop my knees from shaking.

The two of them are smiling at each other in an almost innocent way, but between them, the purple electricity sends out sparks and makes my face turn blue, and although no magic was involved, I can even sense that the temperature in the room is dropping dramatically.

And if my real daughter Emily asked.

"Desmond-sama, why's the air between mommy and Charlotte-sama looking like that?"

"Well, the answer is. --I'm outta here!"

It wouldn't be strange if I exploded right then and there! (I can't help but think that it won't be that bad if that actually happens, I won't have to go through the ordeal at least.)

Generally speaking...

My legal wife facing the woman who gave birth to my first child.

My daughter and the one that's out of the loop...I think――my legal wife's friend.

Lastly, a useless naughty maid that just stands watching!

What kind of midday drama is this?

And it's not my doing!

The bloody battle for me is about to begin—please,  stop this! I'll do anything!!
