Book 10: Chapter 9
Lucia wrapped her arm around mine. She looked at me with joy and excitedly said, “Your Highness, your performance today was great just as when you faced the Earth Dragons! I knew you were prepared and wouldn’t rashly rush into such a large horde! That’s why I trusted you, unlike someone else who insisted on going down to be dead weight, completely ignoring the fact that she couldn’t even do her belt up anymore.”
NIer, who was on the other side, snorted in response. She then looked at Lucia and fired back with her own rebuff, “I was His Majesty personal bodyguard to begin with, so of course I was worried for his safety, unlike someone else who’s useless and can only stand aside and watch His Majesty solve problems.”
“You want to fight?! I’m the elves’ Shadow Squad leader! I can protect His Highness, as well!!”
Lucia stood up and exchanged angry eye contact with Nier.
“All right! If it’s a fight you want, then I’ll give you one. Let’s have a fight while you can still move!”
I smiled helplessly as I looked at my two wives on my left and right. I wrapped my arms around their waists and said, “Ladies, can we not get so worked up in the bath? You’re both pregnant right now. Can’t you get along with each other? Moreover, I just had a rough battle today during the day. Can’t you two let me have a break?”
Nier and Lucia both turned around, embarrassed. Their bellies were now visibly bulging. My two wives sat next to me and snuggled up to me.
I stroked Lucia’s belly. My emotions were complicated.
I keep talking about how I love Lucia, and I believe so. When I look at Lucia, I feel infinite gentleness flowing from her. I love her very much. I decided to love her forever when I crossed the Earth Dragons. However, I continued to do things that made me feel apologetic to her.
