When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married - Chapter 125

Chapter 125

Ian and Laritte’s honeymoon on a small island was over.

As the weather in early summer was moderately mild, the way back to the mansion was as peaceful as ever.

“It’s the Duke!”

The knights in charge of today’s gatekeeping smiled coolly and opened the front gate.

“Madam! Did you have a nice trip…!”

After the wheels of the carriage rolled around on the road in the middle of the Duke’s residence, Ian cautiously escorted Laritte out of the carriage.

“Oh, really. Didn’t I say you shouldn’t do that?”

Laritte said with an expressionless face, displaying a slight annoyance after a long time.

It seemed that his overprotectiveness began again. It was because ‘it’ was so intense that she kept falling down while walking on the island three or four times during the trip.

“But, if Laritte falls again…”

“I said I am fine now, you. On the last day, we played splash in the sea, right?”

Laritte couldn’t understand his apologetic feelings for her. Obviously, since Ian was stronger than the others, he could have been a bit heavy on her. Still, weren’t all couples like this? Doing ‘that weird thing’ for hours. Of course, it wasn’t bad for her to spend time with him together…

It seemed that she did not yet know that Ian was unusually exceptional.

It was then.

“Waaongg.”

Meanwhile, Butterfly zig-zag across the front yard, fluttering her white fur. When Laritte’s foot touched the yard, it was only a few seconds later.

Butterfly made a light leap into her arms.

“Weongg!”

Butterfly said she hadn’t seen Laritte for days, fluttering her lips in annoyance.

Mom left me and went alone to have fun!

Laritte started talking.

“Ravizenis von Alexandria Anges, how have you been?”

Butterflies couldn’t speak. However, when animals talk, the owner or a similar person would answer in a cute voice instead.

Alice, her exclusive maid who remained in the mansion, raised her right hand and imitated Butterfly.

“ Yes! ”

“Have you eaten well and listened to the maids?”

“ Ah, really. I pee well. ”

“You weren’t bored, were you?”

“ In the middle, strange men came to play again, so there was no time for that! ”

The men were two dragons who enjoyed trespassing through the windows of Reinhardt’s mansion. Alice spoke in her natural voice this time.

“Still, we covered up lies about why Master and Madam left! Just as Master ordered.”

The employees expected that Seta and Ikar were ‘not human.’ Occasionally, someone saw their body transform into that of a dragon. Nonetheless, there were no rumors. In fact, there was nothing so unusual about it for the employee…

Duke Reinhardt was always great.

Under the title of the only Duke in the empire, Ian was a war hero and sword master. Outstanding knights were nurtured under Ian… Also, the love for the employees from generation to generation is extreme. Did it make sense for a noble to treat their employee like this?

How lovely was the warm, winter-like Madam! It was still a dreamy day, but what was wrong with adding a bit of dragon seasoning to it?

Overhearing Alice’s words, Ian let out a sigh.

‘…Those dragon punks, I thought they would come to the mansion again during the honeymoon. I told them to lie so they didn’t get in the way at all on my trip.’

Ian, who was standing in front of the mansion, was asked by the nanny Ava.

“Duke, so… did you do a good job? Huh, huh?”

Ava wondered if teaching the secrets of the nights was worth it.

At the question, the nights of their honeymoon came into Ian’s mind—eat, do that, sleep. Eat again, repeat, repeat—although, when Laritte was really struggling, he tried his best to feed her. In the end, he nodded his head earnestly when asked if the honeymoon was successful.

“Oh, my goodness! Ho, ho! This Ava has no regrets even if she dies now!”

Perhaps it was an unexpected answer, she opened her mouth wide. Ava’s heart ached at the thought that the child, who had been peeing carelessly, had grown this far.

Today, the mansion was fun and noisy, too.

If there were rights, there were also responsibilities.

Thanks to the honeymoon, Ian was away from work for several days. In addition, the paperwork to be processed by Ian continued to pile up. He swallowed a curse and moved heavy steps toward his office. While work was fine, not being able to see Laritte seemed to annoy him.

“Sh*t. Laritte can’t live without me.”

Meanwhile, all the employees thought the same thing. They thought the master was actually the one who couldn’t live without Madam…

While Ian was away, Laritte spent a leisurely day with the cat and tea.

In the meantime, Olivia came to the mansion once every two weeks. Coincidentally, Seta also came to the mansion at the same time as he was bored.

“I’m here, human! To see your face! You weren’t at the mansion when I came a few days ago?”

So while Ian was working with a frown, Laritte ended up eating in the dining room with Olivia and Seta. When dining in a quiet room with antique furniture, the only occasional sound was the rattling of tableware.

She didn’t think much of it, and it was enough for Seta to appreciate her face. However, Olivia was served with great care by the maids and was even given good food, which made her feel very awkward.

‘They didn’t have to treat me this well. It’s too uncomfortable.’

It wasn’t until after Laritte came back to life that the employees started actively serving her. It was because it was finally revealed that she was the decisive contributor to saving their Madam… Because of that, Olivia was going to die of awkwardness.

The cook stood next to Olivia and explained the dish as best she could.

“Mrs. Olivia, the main dish this time is a goose with potatoes baked in butter. The goose meat is braised using olive oil from the finest oil company…”

“Yo-you’ve explained it, so you don’t have to spend too much time on me.”

However, the cook was adamant.

“What words! Know what ingredients are in it so you can savor the best taste! Please allow me to explain it for Mrs. Olivia’s sake…!”

Olivia felt uncomfortable with all this treatment and wanted to scream.

‘Stop it… What did I do…a mother who couldn’t do anything for Laritte… Uwaah!’

As she thought so, the cook kept asking in worry that Olivia wouldn’t like the main dish.

“If you don’t like potatoes, we can make a new one! Madam likes potatoes, so I mainly use potatoes, sorry! Are there any foods you particularly enjoy?”

“Please…”

Olivia suffered on one side.

After swallowing her food, Laritte asked Seta.

“Come to think of it, didn’t Ikar come with you?”

“One of the cats in his lair gave birth, so he is taking care of it.”

Then, to avoid the cook, Olivia interrupted their conversation.

“Yes, childbirth. Laritte. Are you planning on getting pregnant?”

“Planning a pregnancy? What is it, humans?”

Seta asked.

Like an arrogant dragon, he waved his finger at the servant waiting behind him. The servant hesitated before answering.

“Pregnancy planning is planning when you will have a child that will be a boy and a girl. In this case, in order to have a child that resembles the Master and the Madam…”

“What…?!”

At the explanation, he jumped up. Seta was so surprised that he even spit out the bowl she had been grinding and chewing on.

That’s great! A human who resembles that female human!

Seta’s brain seemed to have accepted the information, leaving out the idea that it might even resemble Ian’s.

He cried excitedly.

“Human woman, a human who looks like you—!”

Laritte nodded her head obediently as she cut the meat.

“It is.”

“Then, make one hundred!”

“…If possible? I will try.”

“And hand over one of them to me!”

Seta was full of longing for Laritte’s child.

“Give birth to my (own) child!”

He exclaimed.

At that moment, the huge, expensive door of the dining room opened, and Ian entered.

“…What?”

Ian doubted his ears.

He retraced the situation up until now. As he had been working swiftly for several days because he wanted to see Laritte, Ian spurred out of the office for the first time in a while. Since it was meal time, he came to the dining room to find her…

…So, what did he just hear? Did that lizard bastard say to Laritte, ‘Give birth to my child’?

Ian’s hand went to the handle of the sword at his waist.

“Take back… those absurd remark…for your life.”

Seta didn’t know what was wrong. Olivia and the maids tried to clear up the misunderstanding by shaking their hands.

“Duke, this is not that…”

“Ma, Master! Please give a moment…!”

“It sounded strange when you heard it out of context!”

It took them a long time to calm Ian down.
