Chapter 203: 203

–Aegir POV–

「How horrible of you! Getting mama pregnant and leaving her by herself like this! Mama is certainly feeling troubled right now . 」

Miti stands imposingly in front of me and berates me .

Melissa and Alma, who are quite close to Dorothea, support Miti and also sends cold gazes at me .

The only one willing to defend me is the cute Celia .

The other girls are surrounding us and observing .

「Umumu…… I actually didn’t realize until this letter arrived . 」

「But you slept with Mama, didn’t you? Master should already know that going around pouring your thick seed in whoever you please will create babies!」

My dick twitches in response when Miti praises my seed for being thick, but right now I have to restrain myself .

Nevertheless, she said it was fine if she got pregnant, so it didn’t matter if my seed was thick or not, Dorothea definitely didn’t shake her head .

It will make things worse if I give any kind of excuse though so I’ll remain quiet .

「Mama will have to take care of the children with a large belly…… Mama is already past 40 years old!! She’s definitely enduring all the hardships and trying her best not to inconvenience Master!」

The normally docile Miti is frantically snapping at me .

Well, I’m also worried about Dorothea after hearing about what happened .

「But if Dorothea-san said so sooner, Aegir-sama would have helped for sure, isn’t it a mistake for her to accept the child yet stay silent about it?」

Celia provides supporting fire, but Miti, despite being afraid of Celia, retaliates with tears in her eyes .

「Master should know what Mama’s personality is like! She doesn’t want to cause Master any trouble so she endured until there was nothing else she could do on her own! I’m sure she’s more worried than ever after getting pregnant at such an unsuitable age . 」

「Ahem!」

Mel clears her throat to interrupt the agitated Miti .

Her expression didn’t change much but quite a few wrinkles appeared on her forehead .

Maybe talking about the right age or the inappropriate age was a bit too much .

If Miti continued on that subject, something terrifying might have happened to her .

「In any case, we need to send some people to help Dorothea in the capital . I’ll pay the servants extra and let someone go . 」

「Ah wait, I’ll go . 」

The one who raised their hand was Melissa .

Woah now, even though I brought you here with me from the capital, you’re going to leave me again?

「I owe Dorothea-san for taking care of me in many ways . I also think Dorothea-san and the kids would feel uneasy if it was someone they aren’t familiar with . 」

「I guess that’s true……」

Melissa is a valuable woman who keeps everything at peace when she’s with us, plus she’s popular and highly respected amongst the other females .

Catherine and Maria especially rely on her to take care of their lower halves .

「If Aegir-san really doesn’t want me to go, then I won’t…… but I actually also want to create a place to help out any troubled kids here in Rafen too . I’ve been talking with Dorothea-san about different things, so could you grant me this request?」

「Hmmm . 」

It can’t be helped if you say that much .

Rafen has already become a large city with 25 000 people .

Things like parents dying, kids being abandoned and disappearing, and orphans being born all happen at roughly a fixed rate .

Adolph suggested to create an orphanage to provide them the bare minimum and keep them from starving to death, but the place was surrounded in a rather gloomy atmosphere compared to the one Dorothea’s managing .

So I guess you need to do more than giving these parentless kids food to eat and a bed to sleep on .

「You’ll continue to be my woman?」

「Of course . I am Aegir-san’s woman . 」

Then that’s fine .

If Melissa will become an even better woman, like Dorothea who is filled with love and affection, then it’s worth letting her leave to the capital for a while .

「No way, Melissaaa……」「Ma’am1……」

Maria, and for some reason, the maids also look on in worry .

Looks like Melissa also lent them a hand too .

「It might be tough if you go alone though, you’ll need at least one more person . Maybe Kroll can provide some muscle, or maybe it would be better if Miti or Alma went to act as an older sister . 」

Alma exclaimed unenthusiastically at Kroll .

「Does Kroll want to go?」

「I’m worried about Mother Dorothea…… but I also have people here that I gotta protect . 」

「’Kay, that’s perfect . Then I’ll go with Melissa-san . 」

「Eh? Alma……?」

There seems to be a rather deep ditch created in their relationship .

However, helping Dorothea comes first right now .

It might be better to let Miti go along as well if Alma is going .

「Then how about Miti? It might be for half a year, but you’ll be going back to your home after such a long absence . 」

She would definitely want to be by Dorothea’s side when she gets weak and Dorothea will also be happy if she sees Miti again .

But the one who responded was Melissa .

「She can’t . Miti is engaged to Aegir-san so it isn’t good for her to be separated . If a weird rumor spreads, then it’ll affect Miti’s standing, you know . 」

Hm?

「Engaged?」

I automatically spit my thoughts out .

「Eh……? Don’t tell me…… you…… forgot……」

Miti staggers and then sits down on the spot .

Not good, I screwed up .

「A-Aegir-san!!」

After hearing Miti’s pitiful squeaking, Melissa once again raises her voice angrily .

Too much time passed since I agreed to make her my betrothed so I forgot by mistake .

Ever since making her my woman, I intended to love her regardless of whether she was a concubine or a lover, so I didn’t really pay attention to that stuff .

But I guess it mattered a lot to Miti .

Tears start welling up in her quickly blinking eyes .

「U…… uue…… uuwaaaaaaaaaahh—n!!」

「Aegir-san, you idiot!!」

Miti cries out and Melissa curses at me .

「You’re horrible!」「Miti was looking forward to it . 」「She desperately learned about ‘that’ at night too……」「My neck…… it hurts . 」

I receive a storm of booing from the other girls, and even Celia and Leah look at me in astonishment .

……Casie is gradually becoming more visible .

I hastily hug the girl, who rampages in my arms unbelievably more than usual .

「I’m sorry! I forgot accidentally . 」

「Waaaaaaaaahn! So you don’t care about me! Fine, then I’ll go back home! I’ll go back to where Mama is!」

I’ve done it now, it doesn’t look like I can soothe her easily .

I want to relocate to a different place, but if I take her to my room now, it might harden her heart unnecessarily .

It’s best if I resolve it here .

「Let me go, let me gooo-!」

「Let’s talk about it first . 」

I carry Miti and sit her on the sofa, then bring my face close to her so we can chat .

「I really value you, Miti . 」

「Lies! If you really treasured me, you wouldn’t forget your promise to make me your bride! You just wanted my body so you just said anything you could to please me, didn’t you!」

「Of course I want your body too . But I don’t only want that…… I want all of you, Miti . 」

Miti turns red for a brief moment, but quickly raises her voice again .

「Then why did you forget something so important like the promise to marry me……」

I hug her close to my chest and rub the top of her head to discourage her from continuing .

She often gets more and more agitated from her own angry yelling after all .

「Marriage isn’t the most important, right? The most important thing is love!」

She bites me right as I say that…… but I can’t stop now .

「To me, the most important thing is my love for you, it doesn’t matter if you’re my wife or my lover . Miti is my precious, precious woman . 」

Her grip on me loosens just a little bit .

「I lay my hands on women all the time, right?」

Since I’m hugging her, I can’t see Miti’s face, but I can tell she’s nodding .

「I am sheltering several dozen women right now . 」

She bites me again . That’s my nipple, so please don’t .

「That’s why I can’t say I’ll only look at you . However…… I will always look after you forever . I won’t betray you . 」

「You just said whatever is convenient for you……」

That’s right, but this is what happens when I speak without hiding anything .

「I’m probably thick-headed and inattentive . That’s why if you’re unhappy, speak up and I’ll make it better . 」

「You won’t…… throw me away? You won’t forget about me?」

Miti’s last words are filled with emotion .

Because she’s an orphan, her fear of being abandoned is greater than a regular person .

However, she doesn’t have to worry about any of that now that she’s with me .

「What are you saying, I won’t abandon any of my women . I won’t let you go until you say you want to leave . 」

「……I won’t say anything like that . 」

Miti finally lifts her head up .

Her face looks like a mess after crying, but no more tears are falling .

She’s calmed down a little bit .

Now, I can finally whisper words of love to her .

「That night at the lake when you said you would marry me, I was extremely happy, and I loved Master more and more ever since that day…… and in my heart, it felt like I was becoming more and more like a wife……that’s how I felt . 」

In my eyes, all of you girls are my beloved women, whether you’re a concubine or a lover .

But marriage and being engaged must have a tremendous amount of meaning to Miti .

I should have known she was like that from way back, but I guess I must have underestimated a woman’s love a little bit .

「I’m sorry . It’s all my fault . I forgot even though Miti was thinking about me in such a way, please forgive me . 」

I lift her chin slightly and give her lips a light peck .

She didn’t resist .

「You’re a horrible person to shelter all those girls…… you’re so horrible…… but I can’t stop loving you . 」

Miti once again buries her face in my chest, and this time she doesn’t bite me .

Now I’ll capture her heart completely .

「Miti, I know it might not be enough to apologize, so tell me if you have anything you want me to do . Anything is fine, whether you want to bite me or make love to you passionately . You can ask for jewels or gold handiwork too . 」

I hug her tighter than before, so much so that Miti’s delicate body would feel the slight pain .

「I recommend the intense lovemaking session . You’ll feel so good you won’t be able to tell whether it’s day or night . 」

Miti tries to hold back laughter .

There’s her smile…… everything is fine now .

「So in the end, it all leads to sex, you’re such a pervert, Master . 」

Miti jokes and lightly hits my chest .

「You won’t forget anymore, right? This is as important to me as the familial bonds with my mom and my siblings . 」

「I understand . But instead of not forgetting, I have a better way to remember . 」

I hold the tiny Miti sideways and lift her up, declaring before everyone .

「Tomorrow morning, I will announce our marriage in front of the citizens . 」

Fortunately, the harvest festival is still continuing .

If I announce the news in the central plaza, pretty much everybody will hear it .

「「「「Eeeeeeeeeeeeh!!」」」」

Miti wasn’t the only one taken aback, Celia and Nonna were flipping out too .

Casie’s face was becoming quite frightening, but her expression made a complete turn around after hearing my sudden statement and she’s in a panic unsure of what to do now .

In the end, there was an imaginary line which split her face in half, where one side had a smile and the other side was in the middle of turning into a vengeful spirit .

It’s kind of disturbing, so pick one or the other .

「N-no way, tomorrow is too sudden! Before, you said I would be your wife once I got pregnant……」

「The sooner the better . Or do you not want to . Should I have said a later date?」

「Ah…… that’s…… haauuu……」

「Be my wife, Miti . 」

I bring my face close to her while carrying her .

However, I don’t kiss her . I wait for her response .

「Aaaaah……I- I……」

Shaken after my sudden words, Miti’s eyes slowly melted and welled up with tears different from earlier .

Her heart has completely fallen .

「I will be Master’s……wife . I will give you everything . 」

She presses her lips against mine as soon as she finished speaking .

All the girls around us cheer and shout .

「You were arguing in the beginning too, how did it become like this? As expected of Aegir I guess . 」

Turning emergency situations into opportunities is a man’s weapon, Carla .

「If getting pregnant is the condition to get married, then it’s only a matter of time . She’s gone ahead of Kuu and Ruu now . If only they would not run away and squeeze it in between their legs…… and then it would be nice if they got pregnant quickly . 」

It looks like Mel wans Kuu and Ruu to bear my children too .

When that happens, she would be called a grandma, so wouldn’t she get angry?

「If it’s Miti, I don’t mind . But after becoming a concubine, I’ll have to pound you with the manners and etiquette necessary to be one!」

Nonna cuts in .

Don’t be so hard on her though .

「Sis…… how nice, if only I fell in love with such a lovely and dependable person……」

「A-Alma?」

None of the girls express their disapproval .

The kind and diligent Miti is loved by everyone .

There shouldn’t be anyone who would complain…… .

「「Please wait!!」」

The door slams open .

「Maria? Catherine?」

I thought they were in the room all this time, but they disappeared before I even realized, Maria returning with her son Claude in her arms while Catherine pulls along Rose and Antonio in each hand

「「You didn’t forget, did you!?」」

Of course not, so wait a second, it feels like I’ll remember really soon .

「「You promised to marry us too!!」」

The encroaching women push me to the floor .

Then, the two of them speak in a feeble voice
