"No." "I don't want to." The children also stuck their feet to the spot like they had turned to ice and wouldn't move. "It's late at night. It's time to sleep." "Did you already forget the promise to sleep at the palace?" "Promises must be kept." "Wah......" "Then instead, we'll play here tomorrow too." "Instead, tomorrow Eric must listen properly in class, and Elodie must get along well with friends. Only if you keep what Mom asked today can you play here tomorrow too." The…-

Come to think of it, it had been a long time since she scolded her like in the old days. Now that there was a difference in status, they kept their distance and maintained courtesy, so perhaps she had felt sad about that. Erica let Elodie hug her to her heart's content and stroked her head while comforting her. "Don't cause trouble because you want to be scolded. If you're going to cause trouble, only cause cute ones." "Hehe, yes." While holding her, she gave her a storm of praise for all the…

"I'm actually having a hard time holding back too......" Signs of wavering appeared. Erica grabbed onto Roderick and clung to him. "Roderick, please. I'm hungry for you." Roderick, who had been quietly looking down at Erica, took a deep breath and then exhaled like a sigh. "Honestly......" "Yeah?" "When you want me this much, it's hard to resist." Large hands burrowed under her dress skirt, and the other hand untied the strings behind her back. Erica stayed obediently still as if being…

The other children scattered throughout the blooming garden saying they would gather 'vegetables,' and only Eric and Elodie remained where the children had been playing together. "Eric, was it fun even without Elodie?" Elodie asked while scratching the dirt ground with a tree branch. She clearly seemed hurt that Eric had gone off to play without her. "No, no sir. It wasn't fun, sir." Erica, who had been worried that Eric might thoughtlessly answer that it was fun, breathed a sigh of…

"That's right. They should have been prepared for that much when they sided with the marquis." Other ministers openly expressed antipathy toward the lords who had been on the marquis's side and opposed Roderick's opinion. "But this festival is precisely an opportunity to win over those who weren't on our side." "However, doing so might instead provoke the resentment of the lords who have supported and devoted themselves to Her Majesty the king from the beginning." "I think rewards and…

"I'm embarrassed in front of others. I want to look like a dignified countess. But right now you’re treating me like a baby who can't even walk." It was nice to see him burning with determination to make up for not being there during Eric's time, but she wished he would do it in moderation. Roderick's misdeeds had been endless since the day he found out about the pregnancy. Not letting her feet touch the ground. Using separate beds because he worried that he might accidentally touch her while…

How well she managed people too. Erica took charge of hiring and managing the people who would run this annex and the count's residence. Since Erica had only been employed and managed by others her whole life, living far from the experience of hiring and managing others, he thought she might find it difficult, but that was completely wrong. The reason she finished the interior decoration so quickly was also thanks to Erica discovering the right talent. Among the maids hired for the count family,…

When the war ended, another war began. The aftermath of dealing with the war's consequences was also a war, one that simply didn't involve bloodshed. They had to purge those who had sided with the marquis, restructure the power dynamics, and establish a new foundation for the king's authority. In such circumstances, the kingdom, devastated by four seasons of war, needed reconstruction, and countless territories that had missed the farming season suffered from famine. For a king who had just…

"Don't kill the marquis, keep him alive!" That man is my enemy from my past life. Erica had no intention of letting him go peacefully. Roderick must have taken Grandma's last advice to heart, as he had already brought Erica to a room in the area occupied by the princess faction's army. Then he held Erica and wouldn't let her go, continuously stroking her belly. "How could you do such dangerous spy work while carrying a child?" "I already started the spy work and then found out I was pregnant,…

'Huh? The rain stopped?' The rain had stopped. It meant the elves had withdrawn the rain spirits. In other words, the princess faction's army would soon begin attacking the capital. It also meant the wyvern unit that had safely completed the Eberstadt operation would soon arrive at the royal palace. 'I need to get back to Grandma quickly?' She found an appropriate excuse, but soon there was no need to do so immediately. "What's the matter?" When the marquis asked, the servant…
