Endings and Beginnings.
——————————-
Two months have passed.
I have turned 20 years old, and my birthday party, which I had planned beforehand, was a great success. As for the new bride that Rico had proposed, there has been no progress yet.
I am standing before the deer god, offering the crops that were harvested in the duchy as a gift.
The deer god slowly takes a cabbage from the offering and puts it in its mouth. There was no reaction to poison in both my appraisal and Mei’s investigation, but I still wanted to confirm it with the deer god.
“It’s delicious. It tastes great, and there’s no poison.”
“Thank you very much.”
Immediately, I head to the royal palace to report to the Dwarf King. The king’s recovery is slow but steady. He can now stand up with the help of a cane.
“I see… That’s good news.”
“These are crops harvested from the land here. Please enjoy them, Your Majesty.”
The king slowly takes the raw cabbage and onion into his mouth.
“It’s delicious. This is what vegetables should taste like.”
“We are cultivating various crops, and if we can confirm that they are not poisonous, you can sell them not only to your citizens but also to other countries. I think you can grow even more delicious crops in the future.”
“Marquis Basam, I sincerely thank you.”
The Dwarf King trembles as he lowers his head to me.
“Please, raise your head. We have just started. The recovery of the Niza principality is just beginning.”
“You’re right.”
The Dwarf King looks out the window at the farmland and thinks about the restoration of the principality.
———————
“I see. It was truly a great feat.”
I returned to the imperial capital and reported to His Majesty about the restoration of the Niza principality. Naturally, the Prime Minister and Prince Vairus were by his side.
“As expected of Marquis Basam. To restore both Krumfar and Niza principality, your talent is truly fearsome,” the Prime Minister said.
“Hmm. You have exceeded my expectations. I must give you some kind of reward,” said His Majesty.
“Oh, no need for that,” I replied.
“I heard that Lord Linos has been told by Ricolette to take a new wife. Is that true?” His Majesty asked.
“Why do you ask that?”
“Ricolette mentioned it to me.”
“I see…”
“Has Lord Linos already found a new wife?”
“No, not yet. But for now, I have no complaints.”
“Your Majesty, what about a woman from the harem…?” Prince Vairus suggested.
“I must decline that suggestion,” replied His Majesty.
“Indeed. I cannot recommend that either. When nobles hear that there is an opening for the third wife of the Basam family, they will come flocking to try and sell themselves. Dealing with that would be a hassle,” added the Prime Minister.
His Majesty looked up at the ceiling and pondered for a while.
“Well, if Lord Linos doesn’t want it, then there’s nothing I can do. Besides, I’m too busy,” he said.
In the direction His Majesty’s gaze turned to, Townset, who had become quite pregnant, was standing. Although she was not openly criticized or attacked, there were still attempts to remove her if any chance arose.
“You’ll give birth in two more months. Please bear with it until then,” His Majesty said.
“Yes, Your Majesty. By the way, regarding Lord Linos’ reward… How about taking a break for a while?”
“Like going on vacation?”
“Yes. There is a royal villa in Igurek, just south of the capital. You should take a break there for a while.”
“Excuse me, but access to Igurek Palace is limited to His Majesty’s family.”
“Lord Linos is my brother-in-law. Moreover, Ricolette is the daughter of the late Emperor and the sister of the current Emperor of the Hideita Empire. Is there any problem?”
“But…”
“It’s fine, Prime Minister Gremont.”
“Hahaha.”
“Is Krumfar being managed by Ricolette? If so, while she is away, Vairus, you can take her place.”
“Me?”
“You will eventually have to manage your own territory. This is a good opportunity to learn.”
“Yes…”
“Your Majesty, would you like to move Lady Townset to Hotel Krumfar?”
“Oh, really can I?”
“If you are cautious about the movements of the women in the palace, it is best to move her away from here. Hotel Krumfar is staffed by those who served Ricolette, so there should be no problem taking care of Lady Townset.”
“I see. That might be safe. But what if she is attacked when she moves to Krumfar? And I’m worried about her unborn child…”
“There is a solution to that. My subordinates, Pousehai, have teleportation magic. With that, they can move instantly. And they are skilled doctors, so even if something happens, it should be fine.”
“Hmm, that’s a good idea. The scenery is beautiful there, and the food is good. It’s much better than being cooped up in this cramped room. Townset, please move to Krumfar immediately.”
Lady Townsend bowed her head slowly while holding her large belly.
“It’s unfortunate that I won’t be able to visit until the baby is born…”
“In that case, let’s make it possible for you to teleport from this room, Your Majesty.”
“Oh, that’s great. Please do it right away!”
I explained the situation to Ricolette and we teleported to Hotel Krumfar. Since one of the Suite Rooms was usually vacant, we decided to use it. We also went to the boundary village, which was the Pousehais “headquarters,” to ask for their help with Lady Townset.
The next day, we teleported Lady Townset to Krumfar. Naturally, I set up my barrier in the room and adjusted the temperature, so the room was very comfortable. Three caretakers, led by Quena, were assigned to take care of her, ensuring that everything was perfect. Lady Townset’s face had already changed, as she sat in a rocking chair, working on her knitting for her unborn child. It seemed that the Emperor had already teleported over that night, and he intended to stay here every night until the child is born.
Then we took a one-week vacation at the Igurek Palace. I had imagined it to be a fairly large castle, but it was actually a slightly larger mansion with a beautiful garden and a river.
The female attendants usually provided our meals, but the dining table was located away from our room, ensuring complete privacy. The bed and bath were spacious, and the furnishings were top-notch. It was a room that could be called the room of royalty.
“What an amazing room.”
“It’s the Emperor’s villa, so it’s natural to have a room like this.”
“I feel out of place…”
Ricolette remained calm, but Mei was completely intimidated.
“Well, it’s a reward from the Emperor, so let’s use this villa without hesitation. And the garden is really beautiful.”
“I heard that the Emperor 7 generations ago used to play a game of catching female attendants in this garden.”
“Hmm, like hide-and-seek. It seems difficult to catch them since it’s so big.”
“No. He released naked female attendants and chased them one after another.”
“… What a perverted Emperor.”
“Master, you wouldn’t do such a thing, would you?”
“Mei, I would never do that.”
As we chatted, we entered our room.
Actually, I worked hard this week. I worked so hard that I even thought, ‘Where’s my vacation?’ While we slept side by side, we discussed our future plans. Both of them showed that they were taking my feelings seriously and putting their own needs second, which made me love them even more. I also expressed my sincere feelings to them, and I think they understood that.

Meanwhile, in Krumfar, Vairus was screaming, “Wait a minute! Wait until I finish reading this document!”
“But, Lady Ricolette listened to the report while she was reading the documents, didn’t she?”
“I’m different from my sister!”
“Your Highness, please take a look at these documents.”
“Your Highness, regarding the growth of next year’s crops…”
“Your Highness, the opening date for Miraya Krumfar…”
“Your Highness, why not have a military parade…”
“Your Highness.”
“Your Highness.”
“Wait, give me a break!!”
————————–
I heard that he lost 5kg in a single week of being in Krumfar territory.
However, neither I nor His Highness Vairus, and of course, not even Rico, knew that there were several political maneuverings going on behind the scenes concerning me. And one of them is about to start moving.
——————————
“…It’s definitely Count Basam.”
“…Let’s head to the Hideita Empire.”
“I wonder if he’ll meet with us?”
“We must meet him and inform him what you have to say!”
Two determined individuals were about to depart for the Hideita Empire…
