When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married - Chapter 127

Chapter 127

The clear sky was clear as if it had been painted with blue paint created by God.

Under the bright summer weather without a single cloud. The Duke’s residence that always boasts great majesty.

Among them, the Duchy’s people were crowded in the large training ground. The knights were in full swing preparing for the sparring, and the employees watched the swordsmanship competition while eating snacks.

Everyone was busy watching and playing.

“Whoever wins, wins!”

“Adelio, I bet my week’s wages on this match!”

No one expected that the master and the Madam were secretly making love in the food storage room.

It was then.

A red dragon flew high in the sky, flapping its bright skin.

‘Did you dare to say something disrespectful to me? Not even the silver-haired woman, but a black male human…!’

Seta felt wronged.

For a while, he got angry at hearing words like that, so he threw himself into his lair. However, when she thought about it, he was resentful. It was because even if this great dragon was depressed alone, no one noticed!

So, Seta decided to fly to the Duke’s residence right now!

Burn all the Duke’s land with my breath…!!

—I can’t.

…He decided to come to the Duke’s mansion just like he always did. If it was to see the face of the female human, he could shame himself as much as he could.

‘It can’t be helped! Because of the promise, we have to take care not to harm humans… If I burn the residence, the female human’s face will also disappear…!’

It was like a cultural heritage was disappearing.

In the end, Seta turned into a human from the sky and landed on the Duke’s mansion. He had come here (again) to see the female human’s face. As he entered the open air where the swordsmanship competition was in full swing, near Seta, there was a knight sprawled on the ground.

“Huaa… still hot.”

It was the knight who asked Laritte if there was any strawberry juice left. He was tired of waiting and was resting under the tent like he was fainting.

Seta lightly tapped the knight with the toe of his foot.

“Hey. What are you all doing here?”

The knight recognized Seta, who often came to play.

“Ah…! Currently, there is a swordsmanship competition held lightly among the knights. Everyone is here to watch,”

“Actually, I don’t really care. Where are the male and female humans?”

“The masters went into the mansion, but I don’t know exactly where they are…”

Seta entered the mansion without hesitation. As befits the old estate of the Duke, the hallway retained both antique beauty and splendor.

He wandered around there.

Because the dragon’s intuition told him where Laritte was, Seta’s foot moved toward the second-floor kitchen where Ian and Laritte were. At that time, Ian was holding Laritte in the small warehouse.

“Hmm.”

Ian kissed the nape of Laritte’s neck a few times. He let out a light breath, inhaling her scent.

“Laritte, do you know that your hair is more beautiful than jewels?”

Even when he spat out such words, Ian was shameless, without a single speck of shame. He wasn’t spitting uncharacteristically words though he was completely sincere. Meanwhile, Laritte got goosebumps as he spoke from behind her neck. Her expressionless face was red from the rush of blood from the physical excitement.

“I don’t know. I think it’s a dull hair color because it has no color.”

“What a disappointing thing to say.”

Ian’s big, hard hand gently brushed a handful of her white hair. It was lovely how Laritte’s hair fell half over her left and right shoulders.

“And, how soft and white your skin is.”

Then, his right hand went inside her coat. Feeling a tingle at her partner’s gentle touch on her upper stomach, her mouth parted slightly.

Ian kissed her on the lips.

As the secret atmosphere sunk down into the quiet warehouse, Ian’s eyes that were filled with loveliness towards Laritte… became sharp as usual.

“Someone is coming.”

His fierce eyes looked straight at the door, catching the sound of footsteps coming from afar.

‘What are these clumsy, arrogant steps?’

Ian smiled bitterly.

It belonged to Seta, the lizard that he would grill to eat later.

‘He broke down the wall and left, but he’s already come back after a few weeks?’

Weren’t dragons people who felt that even a few years were short? Ian expected Seta to come after a long time… Sh*t. Soon after, Seta opened the warehouse door and raided it.

“Hey! Humans!”

Ian and Laritte pushed each other as if nothing was secret. However, they didn’t look completely normal.

“What?”

Unlike the kitchen, Seta felt that the temperature was a bit high, although he blamed it on his feelings. This was due to the lack of related knowledge, as dragons did not directly mate.

“What were you both doing here?”

Ian frowned as he pulled down his shirt that had been pushed up.

“I came to get something.”

“I see!”

“It looks like you didn’t understand because I didn’t tell you directly the other day. Stop coming to my mansion, dragon? Please.”

Ian was excited at the thought of having another Laritte. No matter what part of her, the predator’s heart always resonated, but what about now? Because of that, he was very angry and gnashed his teeth at the dragon.

‘Should I really kill him?’

At the same time, Seta was also annoyed when his opponent acted like this.

“I am busy, too! I will only come once a month!”

In fact, it might not have been something appropriate for a trespasser to say. In any case, Seta did not lose and confronted back. The atmosphere was heightened.

As they glared at each other and created a threatening atmosphere…

“Ugh… uhhpp.”

Suddenly, Laritte vomited.

Ian opened his eyes and stared at her with a straight face.

…No way!

Come to think of it, it had been quite a while since they had a relationship on their honeymoon—!

Seta frowned, not knowing why.

Dr. Colin has been called to the Duke’s residence. Colin had long been known for his outstanding skills, but now his hair looked unsightly. How ferociously the maids who went to meet him urged him!

…As a result, Laritte was really pregnant.

“Congratulations.”

Dr. Colin set the examining instrument down on the table. He spoke quietly in a room with only him and the couple.

“You are pregnant, Madam.”

For now, he kept his mouth shut so that the couple could share the joy.

“….!”

“….!”

Laritte sat quietly across from Colin, blinking her big eyes a few times. Just in case, only the Ducal couple was here to hear the results, but for it to really be a pregnancy. She hugged Ian’s stomach, who was standing next to her.

“Thank you for your strength. I will do well in the future.”

Wasn’t that what the men usually say?!

Ian looked rather worried.

He, too, knew very well about childbirth. Wasn’t it like putting a massive ball in the stomach and enduring it for several months before releasing it from the womb? How could someone as weak as her put up with it?

As he became concerned for Laritte as the pregnancy actually came, he lowered his eyebrows.

“I was afraid you would get sick…”

“What? But Ian, you wanted me to get pregnant. That’s why you always insisted on doing it at night.”

Laritte didn’t understand why Ian was like this as how gently he had seduced her in bed all this time. Seeing them, Dr. Colin gritted his teeth to keep himself from laughing.

‘…If I laugh here, the Duke might kill me.’

Ian was frustrated.

It was a sinister intention to taste his one and only wife every day…!

Laritte looked down at her stomach. Although she knew in theory that life could arise here, it felt so strange.

‘When I came to the Duke’s residence not long ago, Ian promised that he would have a child only with me…’

At the time, she didn’t even think that she loved Ian. But, when she recalled how she was in a good mood after receiving the promise from Ian… well. Laritte thought hard about various things, then let out a happy smile.

Who would this kid look like?

Well, it was all right as long as it came out healthy. This is a nice place, unlike her childhood.

“Well done anyway, Ian. May I kiss you?”

Laritte flicked her finger, still looking at her stomach.

At her words, Ian stopped worrying about her and bowed his head towards her. He couldn’t miss this opportunity, and he actively kissed her.

After a while, Laritte asked.

“You can take good care of me, right?”

What would he not do as he liked Laritte so much? Ian smiled and nodded his head.

‘Yes. Let’s stop worrying. It must be so lovely to have a child born to us.’

However, there was still an uneasy feeling for no reason. She realized why Ian was anxious later while fighting with the child over Laritte…

It was still a story of the future.

Ian was happy, not knowing what was going to happen, and suddenly a thought crossed his mind.

“Oh!”

Ian’s head jumped up.

It reminded him of the secret act he had done with Laritte earlier in the warehouse. When she was just pregnant, he shouldn’t have acted that way!

Thinking so, he lunged at Colin as he leaned over her table.

“You can’t have a relationship when you’re pregnant, right? Isn’t it dangerous for the mother?”

“You’re right. Vigorous behavior at this time when the pregnancy is not stable is also dangerous to the baby. If you miscarry, the mother’s health will deteriorate, so you should refrain from doing so.”

Fortunately, this time, Seta became a benefactor as he interfered with Ian and Laritte. As he thought so, Ian stormed out of the room. Among the maids waiting for the results, Seta also stood with a dumbfounded look.

He hugged Seta tightly.

“Uwak! What is this!”

The dragon crumpled his face like paper without knowing why.
