Chapter 60

I punished the bandits, saved the immigrants, took the young womans virginity, then sent them to Rafen. I think I did an admirable job as a feudal lord. Ill let Adolph do something about the rest.

Its too dangerous to go by yourself to take out the bandits with your spear!

Celia is such a worrywart.

No, its wonderful! That is exactly the model of a fine feudal lord using your own spear to work and protect the citizens. This is exactly a nobles dream!

Irijinas voice is too loud. The people are getting surprised and wondering whats going on.

The girl from yesterday must have been tired since she didnt come along, and just got on the cart. When our eyes met, her face turns red and she hangs her head.

Since it was interesting, I smiled at her and she waved while looking down.

Ahem.

Celia comes to block my field of vision. As punishment, I rub her ass in front of the people.

Rafen Feudal Lords mansion (temporary)

Hoh, right away?

I saved these immigrants from bandits, do something about the rest.

I handed off the immigrants to Adolph; he recorded their names, family compositions, and ages, and it seems that he will set up a new village for them.

In a rural village, families have strong bonds with their relatives, so it wouldnt yield good results if you throw them into an already existing village. If I set up a new village, then there wont be any strangers.

Several people returning soldiers and immigrants have already entered and are getting ready to establish a village.

In regards to the new village, they will be exempted from head tax, as well as harvest tax until they get to the actual harvest.

Its impossible to tell them to pay the harvest tax if we leave them in the open field with nothing. This is reasonable, but even without having to pay tax, they are penniless and cant even afford to buy food to eat.

Their village will be established close to Rafen. During the interval between farming periods, Ill have them perform various labor and pay them in wages and provide them with food supplies. We will place this village with Rafen as the center point and nurture this town to become the logistics base.

I see, they will have to work hard, but they wont starve, so in order for them to get comfortable, theyd have to hurry and create a field and raise some crops. Hes given this quite some thought.

Ill have you do as the above. As for the labor, the men will do civil engineering like flood control, and the women will tailor clothes

Adolph explains to the people, who quietly listen, what they will be doing from now on but, when he was about to finish talking, the woman I embraced yesterday whispered something in Adolphs ear.

Unfortunately, as the acting official, I am unable to understand about that job. Maybe you should ask the adjutant or the person in question?

Celia heard the word adjutant and glared at the woman, causing her to stand down. What on earth was that about?

When Celia went off to check on the condition of the town, I took the opportunity to call Adolph and asked him secretly.

Well, she asked if there is a job to sleep with the feudal lord?

It goes without saying that shes correct. There is certainly such a job, and I also welcome her to do so. But somehow Celia caught wind of yesterdays incident, and she told her off on the spot and chased her out.

In any case, they have found a way to live on. It would be fortunate if this doesnt result in a bad aftertaste. That woman its a little bit of a waste but I didnt even get her name.

There are also some hopefuls for the private army! Although there are only 10 people or less.

In the Arkland days, Irijina was a commander of over 100 people, so as expected, this would make her lonely.

Adolph, until we can gather a certain number of people for the private army, I dont mind if you use them exclusively for civil engineeringlets see, if it gets over 50 people, send over a messenger.

This is to be expected after a war, as there are also jobs as laborers, there are not many who would purposely choose the dangerous job of becoming a soldier. This will surely take some time. Christoph and Mack seem to want to come and follow me, so it would be fine to send them here a little early. Macks strength will also likely show its true value in civil engineering.

So is Hardlett-sama going back to the capital?

Yeah, I also have to prepare for the wedding. I was originally supposed to introduce you as a subordinate too, though.

I dont mind. I will congratulate you from here.

During such an important time, even if just for a little bit, it wouldnt be good if Adolph left the town.

To me, Hardlett-sama is just a person who gives out gold and sleeps in the capital and thatsno, thats rude of me.

If youre going to say that, then you were almost food for the zombies in the underground prison.

Adolph is skilled, so hell manage somehow with the territory management. Next, Ill have to make my beloved women happy.

Two weeks later, Goldonia Capital

The cold season still continues, but it feels a little warmer than before. From now on, every day will be easier for us to live.

Beside me, Nonna cuddles against me as if shes stuck to me, and Carla and Mel are one step behind us. All of them are wearing beautiful dresses that would make anyone turn their head and stare.

Only the four of us are in this ancient temple located in the capitalNonna says that this is a temple where you pray to the god of love. We take an oath in front of the statue.

I swear that I will love this woman forever.

I swear that I will love this man forever.

We kiss, and Nonna steps down for a moment as Carla steps forward.

I swear that I will love this woman forever.

I swear that Ill get pregnant with this mans child lots.

Nonna slumps and collapses. But in the middle of such a sacred ritual, she cant do anything so she endures it.

Mel is next.

I swear that I will love this woman forever.

I swear that I will love this man forever, no matter what, and I swear that I will offer every part of my body.

Nonna snorts. A ritual of marriage is freedom, I guess.

And so the vows are all over. In front of the god of love, the concerned parties swore their love. This is the entirety of the wedding.

It seems that the gods will only appear at marriages that are more ceremonious.

So why do we need to do so much preparation and pay so much for this wedding ceremony?

Well, lets return home. Everyone is already waiting for us.

Its because we invited acquaintances to our house, and while announcing that they are beautiful brides, we will celebrate by having ingredients and alcohol of the highest class.

Cheers to the beautiful brides!

Cheers to the beautiful ladies!

To the breasts that are too big!

Erich takes the lead, Bruno follows, and Christoph is the last, getting a low kick from Celia. For tonight, we will put aside our ranks and everyone will eat the dishes they like, drink the alcohol they like and intermingle with others.

The only nobles that are participating today are Erich and Bruno. In addition, my past subordinates Agor, Christoph and Mack are here. Also the familiar master Andrei, and his wife Natalie. The rest of the participants are the household members and the servants.

According to Erich, there are an unbelievably small amount of participants because it seems our line is a ruined family and has been branded with the mark of disgrace. For a nobles wedding, it is to indicate the dignity of both families, and for that sake, even if you must accrue debt, you must show off in a grand manner, also gathering as many upper class nobles as possible to show off your power.

Although we are two families, Nonnas family is all but dead, and Carla, Mel and I have no other relatives. I wont be happy either if I invited some old noble that I dont even know.

Because I am participating, the new nobles dont feel comfortablebut Ill introduce you at the balls and banquets.

For a wedding ceremony with just relatives, it seems that my connection to the nobles is weak. I dont know what is bad, but Erich is participating so it should be fine.

Well, the talk about nobles and political factions is over. Shall we eat and drink?

I shout and Erich smiles, and unlike the time previously at the ball, Erich is genuinely starting to get excited. Unlike a ball where you need to be conscious you arent being rude, the ones here are all friends; even if you misconduct yourself while drunk here, no one will blame you. The quality of the alcohol here also doesnt lose in comparison with the ones at the ball, so Ill drink as much as I like.

The banquet continues, Erich finally turns red and gets drunk from the alcohol.

Youre such an unconventional man. I thought your wedding was extraordinary too, but although the ceremony was decent you have three brides. I dont know what to say.

Erich looks around.

Your mansion is filled with women. Im sure there arent any women you didnt lay hands on right?

He is unusually trying to pick a fight while drink. I wondered what was up but Rita winks and heads over to where Erich is.

Count-sama, I heard rumors about your story, would you mind if I listen to you directly?

She sits next to Erich on the sofa and stares at his eyes. Ritas clothes are those of a servant, normally it would be unforgivable for a servant to sit beside him. But her chest is loose, and for the sake of tempting me, the length of her skirt is modified to be short and I can see her thighs. There are no men who would get angry at a woman like that who sits next to him, even more so if hes drinking.

Is.is that right? Then I shall start from the establishment of Wings of Dawn

Erich starts talking to Rita, and she gives me another wink. I appreciate your feelings but jealousy is also welling up within me, Ill definitely reward you in the future and torture you until you piss yourself.

Bruno is also unusually drinking to the point where his face turns red, hes becoming talkative and his voice is rough.

I didnt think that women would get married to your sloppy ass so soon, though? You didnt get them pregnant yet, right?

Rather than getting pregnant, Mel has already given birth.

Well, alot has happened. By the way, it was on the day of the ball that I proposed to Nonna.

So while I was having a hard time, you were proposing?!

It was quite a useful ball.

Even though I was getting caught endlessly by cosmetic-smelling women and talking to them meaninglessly

Were they beautiful?

If you think that mermen are pretty, then yeah.

Bruno and I burst into laughter as we drank alcohol together. He already has a lover who has given birth to a child, but it seems that she couldnt appear in public because of her commoners birth status, so hes troubled with the issue of getting married as a single noble. This is normal for nobles.

Im getting hungry again, so I grab some meat and take a large bite out of it. The spices are quite effective so the meat is exquisitely soft. According to a merchant, just one of these is worth half a months salary for a commoner.

Just my restricting the number of people here, all the food here are of the highest class, and it wouldnt be strange to find these same foods on the kings dining table. 500 gold pieces disappeared into the cost of the dresses, the food, the alcohol and a certain something.

Rather than not having enough, it is better to have leftover, so we ordered food which all of us obviously could not finish, and when tomorrow comes, the food will be given to the kids in Dorotheas orphanage to eat. If they dont eat enough meat then they wont be able to grow. A girls growth is especially important.

Thats so nice, so niceI also wanted to wear a dress

Seeing Nonna in a dress, Maria is crying and troubling those around her. As I thought, deep inside her heart, she isnt convinced with me getting married

Delicious, deliciousthis apple pieI wonder how they make it.

Shes crying while eating the pie. Shes simply a maudlin drinker. 1

Mom! What is it like fucking with Aegir-san!!? When you stroke his big penis, does it squirt out liquid like pew?

Hey, Kuu!? There are nobles here. Even though it doesnt matter if youre rude, dont be so vulgar!!

P****!! D, D***!! **** and ***** are ****ing!!2

After drinking alcohol for the first time in her life, Kuu is spouting out some dirty talk that isnt bearable to listen torather than a story, shes just continuously spewing out dirty terms. The one who let her drinkis it Carla? It seems she used a large stein to gulp down a large portion of wine. So this is what Kuu becomes after drinking, normally, she pretends that she isnt interested but shes actually thinking about it so vividly in her head.

In the end, Kuu became unconscious and exited; Ruu gave the alcohol a little lick before shivering happily.

Aegir-sama, if you dont come over here, Ill get lonely.

We will also feed you all the food.

Have some of Nonnas alcohol.

Mel and Carla comes to both my sides. And Nonna is surprisingly drawing her breasts close to me and letting me drink from the valley of her breasts. The three of their faces are red, so theyre probably quite drunk.

Nonnas sudden change in front of the other guests caused them to be taken aback.

There~ I told you that he said that he likes pussy more than breasts!

How can you act like such a pervert! It has to be breasts! A woman with large breasts will win!

If its Nonna-san, then you can even fit the entire wine bottle in those overly large breasts.

As a result of some incoherent conversations, the three of them somehow started to play around with Nonnas breasts to see what can be squeezed in between them, so I just leave them alone. Theres nothing better than having the wives get along together.

Please! Im begging you!!

That would trouble me! I dont know anything about you!

Over on this side, Christoph is kneeling in front of Miti. I thought that he did something to her, but it seems that this idiot is proposing to Miti. It seems he has been trying to get her to listen while on his knees, pleading for her to become his bride.

Will it work itself out? We cant kick him out during this celebration

Melissa tells me with a troubled look on her face. Miti would have asked for help, but Maria, who she is usually close with, is gulping down wine and crying.

Alright, Christoph. Ill give you a chance. If you can beat Irijina in a drinking contest, then Ill present Miti to you.

No way! Master, youre so mean!

Miti is protesting but Melissa smiles and soothes her.

Are you serious!? I can get something like this just by having a drinking contest with the woman!? If I win, Im going to borrow your bed!

A drinking contest? Youre on!

Irijina drops the two pieces of meat in her hand and stands up. Farewell Christoph, you have invited all of this due to your foolishness.

Hey, why are you pouring the alcohol in the tub and not the stein?

What are you talking about? If we use that stein, then itll take until morning to settle this.

Irijina is a bottomless heavy drinker + an alcoholic. Shell probably keep you company until you lose consciousness.

Celia? Are you alright too?

Ob courth. 3

Thats good. Hurry up and go to sleep.

Haahu, I want alcohol.

Celia is quick to drink, even though shes weak to liquor. I pick her up and she starts to doze off immediately. It cant be helped, so Ill carry her to her room.

Shes too vulnerable and there are other guys around. Well, lets prank her a little. I lay her down on the bed, strip all of her clothes, and place two cups near her bed. So as to not get my handwriting recognized, I used my left hand to write Last night was the best. I want to see you, my beloved, again. and leave it as a memo.

Its perfect.

When I was on the way back from Celias room, I ran into Alma in the corridor. It seems like she was taking care of Sue. As expected, her mother, Mel, has also entrusted Sue to her today.

Alma bows her head. Oh yeah, she was looking at the cooking quite enviously.

A servant can only put the food in their mouth when it has cooled down, the banquet is over and it has been lowered to them. Normally we also eat together at times, but there are guests today, so they couldnt do that. I picked up a dish with lots of freshly cooked meat piled on it from the banquet and handed it to Alma.

This one is already cold, so Ill exchange it with this new one.

Alma seems to get what Im saying, she lowered her head and picks up the plate, running off happily.

Youre quite kind.

Turning around, I was surprised that Sebastian was standing there. He doesnt have any knowledge of martial arts, but he essentially doesnt have much of a presence. It seems that the ideal butler is to be there whenever the master needs him, but never letting him realize it.

Is that so?

I have never thought or said anything about things like kindness myself.

I understand the reason why the master attracts women to himself.

Im kind to women because I have ulterior motives.

But that alone will not turn it into something like this.

In front of his eyes, Nonna and Carla are playing around, and Mel is smiling.

The wife and the concubines are not putting up a front and are genuinely opening up their hearts. That would be the result of the masters character.

Being praised like that makes me feel strange. I pour alcohol into a stein and push it towards Sebastian.

This has also become old. Lower it and leave it aside.

Certainly. Then I shall partake.

Because of Sebastian, I didnt feel like saying anything so I rub Irijinas ass. But she is so absorbed with her alcohol that she doesnt notice, what a woman. By the way, Christoph was bent over and throwing up so Agor carried him out to the garden.

He is always such an idiot.

Its fine if hes enjoying life, isnt it?

I drink some alcohol with Agor.

Three brides huhand theyre a collection of beauties, the beauty of your wife is especially dazzling.

I didnt think Agor would give me such compliments. But he cant be talking about other people.

Arent you also having fun with two women?

Agor spit out his alcohol.

So you are aware of it.

You brought the maid along with you, right?

Actually there was a slight problem since then.

Agor flips up his clothes to show me his side. There was a brand new scar from a small knife.

You got stabbed?

Yes, quite deeply by the widow.

I accidentally laughed. That reminds me, I have also been injured by a woman holding a knife.

What are you doing now?

Both of them are staying at home but they arent getting along with each other. It becomes a hassle whenever we talk about things like marriage.

That would be the case, for common sense.

When Nonna and I got married, we had a little dispute too.

Can I ask how Hardlett-sama managed to convince the women?

Its not something that I can explain. I just went with the flow orhmm, its difficult.

As long as you drag them to bed, you can do something about it. Why dont you do them together?

Agor is actually housing both of them, so hes probably doing that already.

That is embarrassing, but Im also not a man capable of satisfying both of them, especially the maid. Whenever I take off my clothes, her face always looks somewhat disappointed. Maybe shes comparing me with a man from her past4

Perhaps due to the alcohol, Agor is talking about a wide range of topics that he doesnt usually talk about. Sorry, the man from the maids past is probably me. She should be that girl who loves rough sex and whom I made faint easily. While stroking my cock and screaming its big, its big, it seems that Agors dick doesnt get full points.

Use all your strength to pound her repeatedly! Its love even if its rough! I tell that to Agor before leaving. There are often times where its better for the truth to not be known.

Aside from the first toast in the beginning, Leopolt is drinking alcohol quietly while accompanied by Nina. They themselves said that they were fine with that, and the girl is pouring alcohol quite happily. Then Nina pretends to be drunk and leans against Leopolt, but he doesnt shake her off. I cant bring myself to disturb them during their important time.

Well, the problem is this. The married couple, Andrei and Natalie. It seems Natalie entrusted her child with a babysitter in order to come here. That is how much they value their relationship with me.

But the two of them are sitting side-by-side and arent talking to each other, leaving about a persons space in between them. Actually, I also called the girl that Andrei got pregnant to come today, but it seems that she might be close to giving birth soon and is refraining from going out, so she refused.

Im sorry about this, even though you went to all the trouble of inviting us, but as expected, I think that small body is giving us trouble with her birth, so please let us rest. 5

Natalie purposely explains it to me in such a way that Andrei could hear.

I cant believe there is such a man who would lust after such a small body, and then shoot his seeds in her too! Right, dear?

This girl right now is just like a ruthless witch.

Everything has already been done. Lets not live by looking at the past, but to the future. Isnt that what life is?

Its not even hard-boiled anymore. You will only be known as a lover of little girls, and will never be able to recover.

Although with that said, he has helped me in the past that I still need to repay. Lets help him out a little.

Only his hobbies are special, he himself isnt a bad man. Dont be so cruel to him.

If a man who raped an 11 year old girl and got her pregnant isnt a bad man, then what is he?

You can say that, but things are complicated, since I cant see you as anything but a child either. I still think so, even after realizing that you got pregnant from a man in his late thirties.

Instead of digging up things from the past, focus on the future. If you and your child are both happy then there wont be any complaints.

Well thats true

You will be treating your child and wife preciously, right Master?

I somehow managed to settle it nicely.

Sorry, I cant do that.

(Light Novels Illustration: Hardboiled Andrei)

Why are you purposely destroying the peace?! It would have been fine to just lie here and tell her that you would cherish her.

Actually, I have formed a relationship with Aurelia in Dorotheas monastery, so Ill cherish these three people.

With a clunk, Natalies stein fell to the floor. I remember the times, when she was still just a child-like girl and was clinging to Andrei, who was much older than her.

She adores me as a father. But I love her as a woman. When I told her my feelings, she opened up her body to me while still bewildered

Everything is too late. He has betrayed the contract; he has broken the peace, chaos is starting to spread, and a dark age is closing down upon us.

I slowly got out of my seat, Natalie told me that she wasnt feeling well and took Andrei with her back home.

While you are still free, may I borrow a walnut cracker?

Natalie asked Miti, but I pushed her back and sent the two of them off to the front door. If you break a mans walnut, he would sooner be killed.

I see the two of them off and was about to return, but I see a rather familiar red handkerchief on the side of the front door.

So you came? Then why did you decline my invitation?

The one who showed her face was Catherine. Even though I invited her, she ignored me.

I justfelt like it.

She wouldnt come here and leave her kids just because she felt like it.

Are you going to congratulate me?

Well, congratulations. Its just like a breast-lover like you to make Nonna-san your wife. I pray you dont get killed in battle and have your wife and children taken from you.

I ignore Catherines cynicism. Her heart probably doesnt feel calm unless she resents me. Besides, her body has already become unable to live without me. In due time, her heart will also fall.

Well come in, we still have food and alcohol.

I dont need it. Tell Nonna-san that I said congratulations.

Yeah, Ill tell the three of them.

Three peoplebeing lusted after by such a sex beast, I feel sorry for them.

Catherine stood on her tiptoes and stuck out her lips. After about a 30 second kiss, she separated and left.

(Light Novels Illustration: Catherine visits)

If you say it, Ill take care of you though.

I didnt notice that Catherine was crying, and that her stomach was bulging a little. I didnt realize until she came and told me about it. Ill just pretend that I didnt notice that she was trying to hide it from me.

Now that the banquet is almost over, everyone has already started to reach for fruits and yogurts, etc. The only ones who are still eating meat and drinking alcohol are just Irijina and Mack.

Erich is also saying its about time and is sending the guests back home. After this, it seems Agor, Christoph and Mack will be sent to the towns brothel at Brunos expense. As expected, it is impossible for Erich to do so since hes so widely known; there are also many women who are charmed by his heroic stories. If he calls out to a woman, they would instantly follow him.

Mack, you look big so control yourself, but dont break them kay?6

Mack silently stuck his thumb up.

The servants mobilized to clean up the ruined living room. All the household members went to sleep.

The ones left are Nonna, Carla, Mel and myself. They adjusted their dresses and came next to me.

Shall we go?

Yes.

Yeah.

Gladly.

Our destination is naturally my bedroom. This is the night to consummate our marriage, so this is the beginning of a fun night.
