Chapter 206

Aegir POV–

The entire scenery which can be seen through the window of the carriage is a reddish brown color, contrasting with the clear blue sky to make it seem even more depressing .

The rattling sound of the rolling wagon wheels can be heard as we travel along the path .

「This place is as dry as usual . 」

「There’s no water nearby so none of the land here can be cultivated into farmland . 」

Celia, who is sitting beside me, comments sincerely almost like she was talking to herself .

I rub her head thinking she’s cute, though it messes up her hair, causing her to fix it in a hurry .

Recently, I’ve been messing up her hair so that I can touch her ass and breasts while she’s busy tidying up her hair .

「Pipi likes it here . This is what I saw all the time when I was small . 」

Pipi points out the window on the opposite side of the carriage and tells me about the black beast she saw .

Unfortunately, my eyesight isn’t good enough to see the shadow or shape of the monster .

The eyes of the mountain nation are sharp like hawks .

「Here you go, Master~」

I take a sip of the fruit juice which Leah hands me .

It has a fairly sour taste but it’s still refreshing in this dry environment .

I finish drinking everything in the cup, though it seems I still have more waiting for me .

Leah’s cheeks are puffed out and when I kiss her, sweet fruit juice flows from her mouth to mine .

Sitting in the center of the carriage, she was continually stroking my crotch and chest with her hands .

It seems she feels the utmost joy whenever she manages to sexually arouse me .

「Are we there yet, Leopolt?」

「We are scheduled to arrive on time . Lintbloom should come into view within a few hours . 」

He responds with his usual affectionless voice, then closes his eyes again as if his duty was over .

He acts like some big shot and cleverly escaped giving a well-thought out answer, but I’m sure it’s because he’s thinking of something naughty .

For example……

Nina, who is sitting beside Leopolt, bows slightly to me .

This girl is admirable for being the attendant of this unsociable guy all this time .

She has quite the pretty face and her body has become more curvy compared to the first time I met her .

「He definitely tangles with her every night and enjoys himself . 」

「Auu!」

Oops, I said that out loud .

Leopolt says something to Nina as she covers her blushing face

「Lord Hardlett often says things out loud without thinking . You don’t have to respond to every comment . 」

「R-right . 」

Wait a second, you were making fun of me just now, weren’t you .

How dare you, as revenge I’ll fart in this sealed space .

It’s a really stinky one, let’s see how you like that .

Leopolt just ignores it, while Celia and the other girls look at me coldly .

「I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or just annoying that the dwarves don’t speak to anybody except me . 」

The reason we’re heading to Lintbloom is to check on the cannon which we entrusted them to make .

Apparently their efforts bore fruit, which is why they called me to come in person .

They don’t seem to trust many humans aside from me .

「The improvements to the cannon will largely affect our military strength in future wars . After all, we don’t have many options to choose from if Lord Hardlett leaves us for several days . 」

That’s fine and dandy, but why have you come along too?

I’m worried about the overly enthusiastic Myla, who was to be entrusted with the military affairs in Rafen .

Is it because this is as important as he says it is?

Incidentally, with Pipi also heading back to her village, Leah has been left in charge of taking care of my lower half .

Furthermore, there is another large carriage following us .

That carriage belongs to Celestina, who couldn’t bear to be apart from me for even one day, accompanying me for a tour of the place I’m headed to .

I actually didn’t want too many people…… especially those of another nation, to see this place but since the only ones coming along were Celestina and Monica, it should be fine .

The rest of the Malt envoy is doing something with Adolph in Rafen .

They must be excitedly fussing about all the imported goods .

Celia speaks timidly while resting her head against my chest .

「Maria-san and company as well as the women from Treia weren’t there to see us leave . 」

That’s because I fucked them a lot before leaving and all of them couldn’t stand up yet .

I think only Catherine was able to see us off with the help of a walking stick .

We chatted about some unimportant topics to kill time and before I knew it, black smoke can be seen in the direction we are headed .

The mining city of Lintbloom is an industrial city built around an iron mine and the steel mill, and is also the prominent point of provision for Goldonia’s iron supply .

With the everlasting flames of the steel mill and the continuous smoke emitting from this wasteland regardless of the time of day, it really makes me imagine those creatures of legends – the dragons .

「Welcome back, feudal lord-sama! Your Majesty, Celestina!」

When the carriages reach their destination, a middle-aged man jumps out to greet us .

He is the head of the city of Lintbloom…… whose name I can’t remember .

Celestina greets him with a casual good morning, only to be reminded by Monica to be talk in a more dignified manner .

It’s the usual spectacle .

「As I communicated, I will be in your care . Where are the dwarves?」

According to reports, several of them have temporarily come here .

「This way . I will also prepare your escort! In regards to dinner preparations……」

「I will provide my own escorts . As for dinner, you can make the choice . 」

The head of the city as well as the other men around him jump in surprise from my slightly harsh tone .

I’m not actually mad though…… are they really that scared of me?

I don’t think anything good will come out of wandering the town while Leopolt is with me .

I should finish my business here first .

「The dwarves are here in this factory dedicated for military purposes . 」

The place I was guided to was a prominent workshop even within Lintbloom, where all sorts of equipment meant for my personal army, like saddles and weapons, are created .

Because I can supply my own iron and steel equipment, I can steadily strengthen my army .

The dwarves were not waiting inside the workshop though, instead they were at the shooting range, which was for testing the cannons they created .

The glum look on their rugged faces turned into huge smiles when they saw me .

Spreading both arms wide and running towards me first is Balbano, who might cause an earthquake in doing so .

「’s been a while, pal! Would’ve been nice if you showed up more often . 」

「And as usual, you’re looking rather chunky . 」

Balbano is similar in height with the other dwarves but he has a muscular frame and a sturdier looking body .

His short and thick legs thumping their way to me as he walks is an amusing sight, although he’s an opponent even I had trouble overcoming if you simply consider his strength .

「Let’s celebrate our reunion first . Drink . 」

The stein handed to me is filled with their specialty, an extremely potent alcohol .

Leah steps back after taking a small whiff of the aroma, whereas Celia steps forward .

Even though she can’t handle alcohol, she likes drinking it .

「Don’t do it, Celia . If you drink this, you might start dancing naked in front of some random men . 」

「Uu……I-I’ll drink at night with Aegir-sama!」

I laugh and accept the offered stein, instantly downing all of the liquid .

Nothing will go well if I refuse alcohol from the dwarves .

That and I actually kind of like the taste of this alcohol which seems to burn your throat .

「Ooh, you’re different like I thought . It’s regrettable a man like you is human . 」

Balbano’s dark face relaxes as he comments happily .

I decline his suggestion of drinking another glass .

If I drink anymore than this, I won’t be able to do my work .

I’ll probably grab a passing prostitute and talk to you while she sucks me off .

「
