Chapter 138

Aegir POV

We are on the way back to Rafen from the Malt Kingdom with the steel weapon and farming horses given to us as thank you presents, as well as the large amount of alcohol, which couldnt all be packed on the wagon . Rafen is closer to the Malt Kingdom than to the capital of Goldonia .

Im glad there werent any casualties this time .

Yeah, we were fighting so much after all .

Hahaha, and we didnt bring any girls along either .

Celia goes silent and Catherine bumps her head against my back . What? I didnt make anyone into my lover .

Say that after you look at your feet .

Those girls just wanted to visit Rafen so I let them come on, besides I dont remember making them my lovers .

Two women are riding on the wagon . They are from the same village and want to work away from home while depending on their relatives living in Rafen so I let them ride with me .

Even though they look like that?

Catherine mutters . Its true the girls are naked and breathing roughly . Not to mention their legs are spread apart and my offspring is flowing out from their crotches .

It was done under mutual consent .

They told me to do as I please with a blushing face and everything .

Theres no woman who would refuse Aegir-sama licking their ears or pleasuring their entire body!

The unexpected part was that both girls were virgins . If they had told me, I would have been more gentle .

UuahOouu

I pat their heads and they smile happily . Since their holes have been stretched so far, they cant walk properly for awhile . I hope they go back to normal when we arrive in Rafen .

When we reach Rafen, we enter the mansion and see the servants running around . Im sure we gave them notice before our arrival so they should have had plenty of time to prepare to greet us, but something seems amiss .

What happened?

R-right! Actually-

I can then hear shouting which drowns out the maids voice .

Theres one over here too! Someone lend me a hand!

Theres no enough hot water! Bring some more!

The loud yelling flies from place to place as the servants scurry about . It almost makes the place seem like a field hospital . I guess Ill check out whats going on .

Everyones destination appears to be the annex where the so-called harem is living . Walking along the passage, a maid holding a cloth runs from behind us with incredible speed .

Feudal lord-sama! Excuse me-!

After bowing once, she runs past me . Celia was about to rebuke her, but restrained herself after feeling the maids sense of urgency .

AahI guess its about that time .

Big trouble, big trouble, what to do, big trouble .

Casie is confused and flying around in a figure-eight pattern . Ah, she bumped into a pillar and fell down . Her face was indented, so shes fixing it with her hands . 1

Let me lend a hand .

Eh? Feudal lord-sama!? How could I be so- Its fine, so hand it to me .

I take the entire tub of clean water the maid was about to carry and lift it to its destination . At that location, I can see the furiously vigorous work of the midwife .

Apparently, the 20 girls living in the annex are going into labor . Of course, it wasnt everyone all at once, but they were impregnated on the same day during the orgy after being saved from the goblins . So their delivery dates will inevitably overlap .

The one over there is fine, only the delivery is left . Watch this one carefully, let me know if theres a lot of blood! Be quick with the sanitary cloth, and bring more if you can .

Are there any in danger of losing their lives?

Feudal lord-sama, no, everyone is doing pretty well in their deliveries .

Considering that, there are many voices that sound like theyre suffering though .

It hurts, it hurts!! Im dying!!

Bear with it! Youre a woman, arent you!

Where should I put thiseruwa, its here for me too!

Another one is going into labor!!

Alice! Dont play with your ass and boil the water!

I put it in up to my wrist and now I cant pull it out

Even though its like this, everyone will still have a safe delivery . All the births so far are ones that made me underestimate women .

Well, thats good . If there is anyone in trouble, dont hesitate to use the medicine .

Yes, that helps a lot!!

After that, it only took a day for all 20 of them to give birth, and fortunately all mothers came out unscathed and not one of them suffered miscarriages or stillbirths .

For all 20 to give birth to healthy babies

The midwife sounds shocked .

Isnt that good? Theres nothing to complain about if all of them are healthy .

Of course thats the case, butis it perhaps due to the grace of the feudal lord-samas thing?

Usually, giving birth is a life-threatening event, and its normal for 10% of children and mothers to die . So thats why shes surprised the 20 mothers and children are still lively . The help of this older woman also played a huge role in that, so Ill present her with a special reward .

Im grateful for the reward, but is it alright to request something?

Yeah, anything you want .

The older woman then brings a woman in her late 20s . She wasnt the prettiest girl but shes got a gentle and calm atmosphere about her .

This is my daughter .

Fumu .

She has a large belly, so shes probably already in her last month of pregnancy .

Please pardon me .

As the girl finishes her sentence, she opens the front of my pants and takes out my dick . I dont think its possible to fuck a pregnant woman with this, or theyll suffer a miscarriage .

Please, somehow let a healthy child to be born

But the girl strokes the exposed member while expressing her wish .

Please pray more seriously . You will definitely bear a healthy child .

It looks like this is what the midwife wanted . My dick isnt some spirit which guarantees safe birth though .

Please, I pray that I am granted with a healthy child .

I have no power over that, but if shell be satisfied from stroking my dick, Ill let her do it as much as she wants .

And so a strange rumor was circulating around the city, in which pregnant women would come and stroke my cock whenever I went out to do inspections . I cant do anything like pounce on the pregnant women if I get aroused . Its unavoidable, but Ill have to enjoy them secretly after their births .

Adolph, 20 children have been born so I want to expand the annex a little more .

With that, things are looking good .

So this is a clump of steel, its the first time Im seeing something like this .

Along the city walls of Rafen, the caravan of merchants from the Flitch Company have fully loaded a wagon with as much weight it can carry with the iron taken from the recently operating mine . And although there is only a small amount, there is some steel as well .

We wouldnt have had an opportunity to see it if we didnt have blacksmiths . But this is undoubtedly a chunk of steel .

Exporting iron ore from Rafen doesnt make much money, barely going in the red, but refining it into a chunk really seems to change the situation . There are already facilities constructed near the mine which turns the rocks into iron .

Production is limited now but as soon as the blast furnace is completed, the amount supplied would increase by several times . In fact, it is more worrying that there may not be enough miners to dig out the material or wagons to carry it .

The wood used as fuel to produce iron is carried from the surrounding villages to Rafen and iron is packed on the wagons on their way back . As expected of a merchant, the wagons are used in an efficient manner .

Iron manufacturingit takes quite the skill to do it, but we have the necessary human resources .

The crucial thing is to use the craftsmen we have, but the people who live therethe fire nation? We will hire them and have them work . In any case, they are so poor they are willing to kill a child to eat, so even if they get paid a little less or work a little harder Ahem, ahem .

Laurie coughs behind Claire . Dont go too far now .

I have heard the price of iron in the capital has risen . Im sure the profits will be big as well .

Adolph chimes in as well . Normally, the feudal lord would apply tax to the renting of the mine and the shipping of finished products, but everything from the construction of the mining town to the acquiring of human resources is handled by Claire so she needs some concession .

The wood fuel, the personal expenses and the wagon expenses will be deducted, and tax will be levied according to the increased profit . In other words, when she profits, we will also gain a cut .

Oh my, ufufu . It wont be like that, since it may be a huge loss .

Also, there will be a thorough examination before summer .

Sparks fly between Adolph and Claire . By the way, I was made to promise to entrust this entire matter to Adolph . It appears he couldnt bear to have a reduction of tax every time Claire swings her hips on top of me .

In the middle of organizing the ranks in preparation to set out to the capital, a single girl peeks out from a wagon and takes note of something .

Whats that?

Celia and her sharp senses also seem to have realized it .

Is it a spy? Ill capture it .

Jumping off her horse, she instantly accelerates as soon as she touches the ground, and by the time the other person turned around to look at her, Celia already closed the distance .

!!

Before the girl could open her mouth, Celia circled behind her and put a knife to her throat .

Dont move, if you arent cooperative, Ill slit your throat .

It was impressive skill on Celias part, and as expected, there is no one who can match her when it comes to speed .

Unhand me, you incompetent fool! I am Goldonias

Yeah whatever, just come!

The girl shouts and glares at Celia as she is dragged and brought in front of me .

Let go of me! Im an honorary Knight of Goldonia and Information Officer, Rebecca Blaze! I wont tolerate any rudeness!

Let her go, Celia .

Celia is yet to fully believe what she said, but releases the girl on my order as I step forward .

Im Hardlett, can you prove your identity?

The girl looks surprised for a second but reaches a hand into her bosom and reveals a document with the royal seal on it .

Behold .

Her name and status of information officer are certainly written on the document . Fumu, it seems like the real thing .

Right . My subordinate has done you wrong .

Celia gets dispirited and seems to shrink . Dont worry about it too much .

But if you let me know you were coming, I could have made some preparations .

An honorary rank is a rank attached only to the person its granted to, which means she cant make a family or have anyone inherit the status, so I only have to treat her individually as a noble . I should also be treated as a noble, but since there is such a big difference between our ranks, I dont pay much attention to it .

No, wellI couldnt do that

Rebecca averts her eyes awkwardly . Its the first time Ive heard of a position called information officer, but it doesnt seem like a visit I would gladly welcome .

Dont say that, why dont we eat something . I have some delicious meat .

I observe Rebecca as she stands up and brushes the dust off herself . She exudes a slightly cold air with her short black hair and small frame, but shes still fairly pretty . The part of her leg I can see between her half-pants and long boots looks thin and fragile, and while her shirt should be tight-fitting on her generally slender body, there is no volume in her chest area .

If I were to sleep with her, it would probably be hard on her if I push it inside from the front, and itll hurt her if I slam it into her tiny ass from behind . So then, it means Ill have to get her to ride on top, rather its probably better to lift her up while doing it .

Is something the matter, Lord Hardlett?

I came to my senses when Rebecca called out to me . Not good, not good, Im imagining lifting her up and swinging my hips .

Its nothing . Now, shall we go?

I place my hand around her waist and escort her while feeling her ass a little bit here and there . She has a tight ass like I thought, so it might nice to have her ride on my face . I can feel my dick pulsing and gradually forming a tent in my pants, but Ill be careful not to let Rebecca see it while Im guiding her .

Now, can I hear what you have come for?

After eating, I speak to her while drinking tea as if nothing happened . I would have liked to talk with her in bed, but she remains unemotional and cold .

It isnt something which I can say .

If you dont state your reason for coming in my territory and act all suspicious, then perhaps it doesnt mean Celia was wrong with the way she dealt with you?

Im sure itll make her more feisty in bed if we have oppose each other a bit .

if everyone could clear out .

As soon as she finished her sentence, Sebastian and the servants simultaneously leave the room . Celia wanted to stay, but Rebecca wouldnt accept that .

Sorry .

Uuu

Celia exits the room tearfully, leaving only the girl and myself in the room . I wonder if I can make her mine if I attack her now, no maybe not, I wont .

It doesnt seem I can hide it from you so Ill tell you . This visit, if I may be so rude, is about a certain suspicion against Lord Hardlett .

I wonder what it is . Is it because I bent the jewelled spear I received from the King
