Chapter 64: Mint and Basil

Sasha, Im entering.

Upon hearing that voice, myconsciousnessquickly returned. Although my body still felt dull, as I felt the warmth from Sashas lap, I was able to grasp the situation. Thats right I fell asleep after Sasha gave me a lap pillow. Just how long was I out for?

Oho? Am I intruding?

M- Mother-in-law this is

Its fine, its fine. I understand well. More than that Im glad to see you two getting along so well.

Y- Yes

Even though my eyes were closed, I could imagine just how Mother was teasingly smiling at Sasha as she found her in this position. I should probably get up immediately, but I wanted to enjoy this comfort for a little longer, so I decided to stay put and listen.

Even so, I never expected to see Callis sleeping like this.

T- Thats not it! This is something I

Oh? Sasha, you invited him? How bold~!

Ah-

I could just imagineSashas face reddening due to that slip of the tongue. Imagining her face made me want to dote on her, but as I thought that, Mother spoke with a laugh.

No worries, dear. I often do things like that for my husband, too. I just never expected you to be the one to invite Callis. Recently Callis has been enduring a lot and seemed close to his limit, so I was worried he might crack soon and assault you.

Hes been enduring?

Arent you two usually quite active at night?

Fue-!?

Mother I dont mind if you read my thoughts, but dont tell Sasha! Certainly, Im close to my limits, but I can still endure!

Rightnow,Callis is satisfied having lightskinshipwith you, but once you recover its going to be quite amazing.

Q- Quite amazing

Fufu, Im happy Ill be able to see the face of my next grandchild so soon~

Hauu

Yeah, Mother, please stop talking for a bit. Shes treating me like Im a wild beast or something! No, well, certainly, this year has been rough until now, but I wont overdo it. Also, if Sasha doesnt want to, Ill hold myself back. Sashas feelings come first before my desires.

Now then Before I dote on my grandchildren, dont you think its about time you get up? Callis.

As if able to read my mind, Mother called out to me. Helplessly, I got up and smiled at Sasha who was before my eyes.

Good morning, Sasha. That was really nice.

M- My Lord!? Since when were you?

Probably, since about when I entered the room?

Mother, so you knew.

I was so sure that I looked like I was still sleeping.

But of course. As a former knight, how could you let someone sneak up on you? Moreover, with Sasha here, theres no way youd let someone approach you and her without being alerted.

As expected of Mother. You know me well.

Did you expect any different? I havent spent decades as your Mother without learning anything, after all. Im probably the person who knows you best.

Haha, what a coincidence. Im also the one that knows my wife and daughter the best. Plus

I gently stroked Mint and Basil laying on the neighboring bed and said in a gentle tone.

From now on, Im going to be the person that knows these two the best, so that I can be their guide no matter what may come.

Oh? I wouldnt be so sure about that.

My Lord

It seems that they didnt hear our conversation, since Mint and Basil didnt wake up and continued to sleep peacefully. So that these two may grow up happy and healthy, Ill do my best no matter what may happen.
