I have put Miss busty from the Synod church on hold for now.
I don't know when the crackdown on the Synod will start, but judging from what my father told me, it shouldn't be that long until then. I will wait while looking forward to that time.
「I hid my identity yesterday and went into the Synod church. Is that okay?」
Father had allowed me to visit the Synod church If I disguised myself as a commoner.
However, since I got his permission to do that from a pretty long time ago, it might be bad that I did that in the current situation. That being said, I just found out about all that now so even if he complains, it's not like there's anything I could have done.
「The Synod believers were captured in the royal capital just the other day. Melly had immediately sent me that letter which arrived just last night via a messenger on horseback after she learned of it. The priests of that church were probably not on guard when you paid your visit yesterday because they didn't know about that information yet. Everything should be okay 」
Technologies for long-distance communication such as phones or radio communications still do not exist on this continent. In the current methods used to transmit information, delivering letters by horses, by birds, or by things such as dragons were the quickest methods.
「However, you must not approach them anymore. There's a high chance that they will capture you to get information out of you. It'll bring us trouble at the time of the crackdown if you are careless. Even if you were to sneak in with a commoner's disguise, one of the priests in the Synod church of Nyuneri should have magic power…Yeah, I know you're after that priest this time Wilk, but any disguise would be meaningless if they could use magic detection. While it's hard to imagine commoners could use the detection spell even if they have magic power, this is just to be safe. Never get close to them, Wilk」
「I understand」
Since the spell to detect magic power consumes quite a large amount of magic power, people cannot use it unless they possess magic power of the noble-class. I could do this easily and activate it at will because of the magic training I have been doing from a young age after I was reincarnated, but if a person with a commoner's magic power level tries, they will run out of gas instantly.
Unlike nobles, most commoners do not possess magic power at all, so the chance of them being able to activate that spell is also very low in the first place.
There are also spells that could let someone set up magic power detection in a limited area for much less mana, but only educated noble guards would know how to use something like that.
After hearing my response, father relaxed and exhaled as if letting me know that the talk was over.
「That's all」
With that, he put his hand out and motioned me to go sit down on the sofa. It's a sign that he wants to have a talk with me not as one of the lords, but as my father.
After I sat down at the sofa, he took out two goblets and a bottle of alcohol and placed them on the short-legged table in front of me. Since this room had no servants, father had to do all of that by himself.
「I have received some good alcohol. Go ahead, drink up」
「Thank you」
Father poured us each a cup and we had a toast.
When I took a look inside the goblet, a rich and sweet scent drifted to my nose. In the Levios kingdom and the Jinkaen Empire, sweet alcohol is considered high-end.
When I gulped down a cup and lightly moistened my throat, a sweet flavor similar to the taste of watermelon filled my mouth. This drink didn't seem to have a high alcohol percentage.
「It's a gift from the royal capital」
「It's refreshingly delicious」
Then for a while after that, we chatted as we drank.
We talked about the alcohol, the capital, my mother returning, Nambonan city, father's first war campaign, Fanny who became spoiled, and new merchandise from the innovation association. We talked about basically anything.
Then, when we almost finished all the alcohol, father looked at me with his silver eyes and made a fist with his left hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt「The slave, the maid, the tavern owner's daughter. The merchant's daughter and the villager girl. Oh, I can't even count them all with my fingers, huh?」
He counted them one by one with his fingers as he listed them until his left hand completely unfolded.
「The adventurer, and then this time it's a priest from the Synod church. You have already surpassed me…」
He held 7 fingers out towards me, five from his left hand and two from his right.
It feels a bit weird when my father has a complete understanding of how many women I fucked. And I'm not sure how I should react to this. Should I go like "Guhehe! But I ain't done yet!"?
「Is that so?」
「Yeahh. I'm a man who can't love more than a few women like many others. I'm a bit jealous of you and my broth- I mean, your uncle, who can just sleep with any random women」
I thought that sounded a bit mean, but my father seemed genuinely happy for me with that smile on his face.
I have heard about this before as well. While there are many noblemen with strong sex drives, not many of them would put their hands on various different women.
Most noblemen only ejaculates in the woman they like. But in this case, the will of the woman they like would be irrelevant once the noble set his eyes on the woman. Whether it's consensual or not, he will keep on fucking her. Both parties will be happy if it's the former, but if it's the latter, things would be a tragedy.
「Back when your father was your age, Wilk, I was always told that "It's not good to sleep with the same woman, learn from your brother". But in the end, I couldn't do much in bed. It bothered me even when I tried to think like that brother of mine」
Hahaha, my father laughed as he drank another glass of alcohol. This man, he actually likes to have sex talks, doesn't he?
According to him, there are many noblemen who are just like him. They won't be able to finish even if they could get it up unless it's with the women they truly like.
Although I get hard and want to cum in them immediately when I see any beautiful women.
「I was relieved when I learned that you are like my brother, Wilk. Teaching a child about women is a lot of work after all」
Generally speaking, noblemen are sexually sensitive people.
If their first time was a failure, they will become scared in bed. In some cases, they end up not able to do anything at all to their wife when that time comes. On the other hand, they could also end up completely reliant on the woman of their first time if it went well and not look at any other women or their own wife.
First, get good at sleeping with one woman, then it would be perfect if one could move to another one or two more. It's important to get rid of the sense of resistance when it comes to sleeping with multiple women.
After I slept with Eve and lost my virginity, I went to sleep with Minith the next day or the day after that without anyone telling me to. It seems that not only my father, but our servants were so happy that they did a standing ovation somewhere I didn't even know about.
「…Sleeping with two women is something that has to be generally pushed by the father or a close aide. When you wanted to sleep with your personal maid, Tesh and Leydi probably felt like a weight was lifted off their shoulders too」
For some reason, I feel like I became a crested ibis. Tesh and the head maid are like my zookeepers.
「You'll be able to greet your wife with confidence if you keep on learning like that. Just for reference, would you tell me what kind of women you like?」
「The kind of women I like?」
Nobles often have political marriages. However, that doesn't mean that there aren't marriages out of love. I know about that very well.
「In the situation where there's more than one marriage candidate, you would want a girl you like too, right? 」
「Well, yeah」
It would be nice to meet each other in person before the marriage, but it's quite possible for the marriage to be decided without us even knowing about what each other looks like.
Since It'll be up to my father at that time, I think it's important that I let him know the type of woman that I like.
「I would be happy if she's beautiful and has a nice personality」
I was really thinking about it even though I gave that really broad answer.
But unlike in Japan where I could use celebrities as an example for the type of women I like, I couldn't really put it into words here.
「Even if you tell me beautiful…Try naming me someone I know that you consider beautiful」
「Someone that you know, huh…?」
「Hm, then would it be better if I were to name some people out? …What about…someone like Plume Silopea?」
Since Plume is my mother's sister's daughter, she's a beauty. To be more precise, she's the type I'm quite fond of. There is no problem with her personality either so I'd rather marry her if someone terrible is going to get chosen.
「She's a beauty I can't complain about. I would be happy to marry her」
「Hm」
After that, father listed some other girls' names and asked me if I thought they were pretty.
The noble daughters near us, father's personal maids, and he even asked me about Fanny in the end. I feel like we had a long talk.
「…I see. I'll remember your preference, Wilk」
「Thank you」
Father put his empty goblet on the desk. *Kan*, the wooden sound echoed in the room.
「…In the past, my father asked me my preference on girls as well. As a result, I got married to Melly. I'm still glad that I told him my true feelings that day」
Father and mother got married without knowing what each other looked like, but they get along very well. Mother's appearance seems to line up perfectly with my father's preferences.
When my grandfather decided on his marriage partner, he seemed to have given him the choice of mother or mother's sister. Mother's family recommended their younger daughter, which was mother's sister, but grandfather selected mother after he heard father's preference.
「I want to select one that fits the best with what you want in your future wife as well, Wilk. I had to get married in a hurry back then so there wasn't time for me to choose, but now we can probably have you do face to face meetings」
「That would be great」
After he nodded to my response, father opened his mouth again with a dry smile. For some reason, I feel like this was what he wanted to tell me the most.
「…If there's a "Fifth Region Princess" for you too then please let me know」
「Yes father. There isn't anyone like that as of now」
Since the marriage between grandpa and my late grandma was a rare marriage of love between nobles, their love story was sung by the bards, put together into a book, and turned into plays. There's a pretty sizable theatre in the city of Nyuneri, and the play about them called『The Crimson Demon and the Fifth Region Princess』 is occasionally performed there.
The first time I saw that play, I never realized that it was modeled after my grandparents at all. The man in the play who tossed away everything for love never reminded me of my grandpa.
Father was probably telling me to consult them if I fell in love with any noble's daughter because my grandfather is quite capable of cheering me up if things go wrong.
I put my emptied out goblet on the desk and smiled at my father.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFor the next few days after that, I lived the days peacefully while making preparations for the departure to Nambonan.
I would do it with Minith a few times throughout the morning, then a few times with Lupetta in the afternoon. It was a wonderful sex life. I would have liked to sleep with Eve once before I went to bed, but sadly, she was on her period.
Then, today is the day Lupetta departs for the field near the city of Nyuneri.
After I called her to the villa in the morning, I hugged her as soon as she entered the room. We did not have sex because she was going to depart soon after. We simply cuddled.
「Lupetta. Take good care of yourself, okay?」
「…It's my first time entering that field, I'll be careful even without you telling me that」
「I see. I'll make you feel good again after you come back. Make sure you come back alive, okay?」
「...Uu...」
Her face turned red and she looked away. Taking advantage of that, I snuck a kiss to her forehead.
After we made the promise the other day, she started to become louder in bed and she started to tell me where it feels good for her. Progress with her has been steady.
Losing her now would do quite a lot of damage to me. Because of that, I had personally gone through the trouble of preparing a parting gift for her and gave it to her in person. It might be helpful to her somehow.
「Alright, since you guys already got your magic seals undone, try to meet up outside of the city, okay?」
「Yeah, I know」
If her gang of adventurers meet up inside the city, her group of six commoners with magic power will end up being taken to the guards again.
Since they aren't that stupid after all, they seem to be meeting up outside of the city.
After I sent Lupetta off, I went into my own room in the villa. I don't come into this room very often since I normally go straight to the bedroom.
「Young master. Your plans after this?」
「Hm. I think…I'll go check out how the association is doing and then return to the castle afterwards」
When I answered Tesh's question, I noticed there was something on the desk.
「Is something the matter?」
「No, but there's some silver coins here? What is this about?」
There were some silver coins wrapped in a cloth on the desk instead of inside the drawer.
「…Ahh, those are the silver coins from the other day」
I had a date with Minith at the castle town the other day. Those silver coins were prepared for that date. Since using kiris gold coins in the city's marketplace would have made us stand out like a sore thumb.
Even though those silver coins were prepared, they were never used up on the date, so they just stayed in my pocket.
Then because I took Minith to the villa and took off my clothes like that, a servant probably placed the silver coins that were in the pockets here. I don't know who did it, but if they aren't attentive enough to take a hint and return them to the castle, I think they will be warned by Tesh. Somehow, I feel like Tesh had a sharp gaze.
「I see. So it's mine, then…Anyway, I will go to the association. Please make the preparations for it」
「Understood」
After I put the silver coins into my pocket, I left the villa.
