　I summoned Raviara to the lord's office.

　I heard Raviara knocking. I could tell who it was by the sound of her knocking. We have been friends for a really long time. My parents have been dead for a long time, so this must be the person I have spent the most time with in my life.

"Raviara, come in."

What in the world can I do for you?　The canal improvements are progressing on schedule. It's good to have a town along the river, so that we can bring in dwarven laborers who are good at digging for dirt."

"Oh, it's not about the job. ....... Right, just stand there ......"

　I felt it would be impolite to say this while sitting down, so I got up from my desk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I stood right in front of Raviara.

"I wondered again, when did I pull my back out from under Raviara?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What is it, suddenly ....... Yes, I think Raviara was bigger than me until I was twelve years old."

　Maybe Laviala remembers me more than I remember her.

"At that time, Mr. Arsrod, you were not so good with the bow and arrow. We usually won the sword practice.

"Hey, don't talk like that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We looked at each other and laughed.

　Now our relationship is more like that of childhood friends than that of lord and vassal.

"But Arsrod-sama has become much stronger since then, hasn't he? His body grew to match. After two years, Laviala was no match for him with a sword.

"Instead, you specialized in a single point from there to bow and arrow and became a hell of a bowman, though."

　Just talking to Raviara makes me feel kind. If it weren't for Raviara, I probably wouldn't have made it this far.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So, what can I do for you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Laviala tilts her head with wide eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have to tell you something here. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's something I'll announce sooner or later, but I wanted to tell you first."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Alsrod."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You don't have to thank me before I say what you want. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I know. No doubt Laviala will say congratulations. She won't look the least bit sad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But she might wonder if it is true that half-elves have a hard time having children.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As Raviara's husband, I am concerned about that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Look, I know it's hard for you to say, but please say it, Mr. Arsrod.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Okay, I'm ready.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You know, Raviara, Serafina and I are going to have a baby. Congratulations."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, really?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Laviala's large eyes widened even more. She was quite shocked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I would never lie about something like this. I just heard about it. We don't even know his gender, but I guess that makes him a candidate to be the heir at this point.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. That's very, very good. Raviara is very relieved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I didn't know Raviara was so worried about me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's all right to say it. I feel much better now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Now Raviara can say what she has been afraid to say: ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　What does that mean,......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I didn't hear you say that. No, you said it was something you didn't want to talk about, so how could I have heard it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't imagine that Raviara is keeping secrets from me. I thought I knew almost everything about Laviala, from her habits to her personality.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think you're ...... having a boyfriend, are you ......?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Laviara's good looks are unquestionable. Raviara's mother, my nanny, has also long been admired for her beauty among the elves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am sure that no one in my household is unaware of my relationship with Laviara, but I cannot say that there are not men who are tempted to woo her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sorry to say, sir. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Laviara's face turned red there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But her face did not look guilty, rather it looked very happy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Actually, Raviara also gave birth to Arsrod-sama's child just the other day. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For a moment, I didn't understand what was being said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What, what, what ......?　A child ......?　Jeez, are you kidding me ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How could you make such a joke?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Laviala laughed at me when I said what I just said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you, Raviara!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Unexpectedly, I hugged Laviala.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After Serafina, Raviara too!　I don't think we'll ever have another day of such celebration!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I was feeling sick the other day, and when I told my mom about it, she said it was a symptom of having a baby. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One can hear a hint of relief in Laviala's voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I really wanted to report it right away, but I kept quiet because I thought it would be an insinuation against Serafina, who is my regular wife. ....... I also knew that she wanted to have a baby with Mr. Arsrod. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What, you mean everyone was looking out for each other after all?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is this what happens when you have more than one wife? But now that's no longer a concern of mine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Raviara, as your lord and master, I command you. "Raviara, as your lord and master, I command you to give birth to a healthy baby. And you will live to raise it in good health. Do you understand?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes!　I will fulfill that prime directive!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I doubt there is a happier man in this territory right now than me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"And you, Raviara, I want you to be the nanny for Serafina's children.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, with pleasure!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"And take a break from work if it's getting too tiring. You and the kids are more important.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You'll be fine for a while longer. At least, I will be able to work until the time when I can conduct political affairs at the castle of Maust.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Later that day, I told my advisors that Serafina and her consort Laviala were pregnant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For a while, congratulatory messengers came constantly. There were so many of them that I decided to handle them myself, since I would have exhausted them if I had to attend to all of them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The number of people coming to greet us has increased since the past due to the expansion of our territory, and especially since the town of Maust is about to undergo a major change, there are many merchants who are looking to take advantage of the situation.

　What can I say, fathers have more work to do as fathers. .......
