"Oh, yes, yes. Speaking of dreams, I had this one."

　He remembered something in Yucca.

"I want to have and raise a healthy child.

　It was an answer I did not expect, at least, and Kerala looked a little glum.

"Why do you say that?"

　If you don't know, just ask. If it's an arranged marriage, that's the way to proceed.

"I'm a very ...... ordinary person. ...... Oh, I'm not trying to be mean. But I'm sure it's true. Even in the presence of the Regent and Kerala, I can see that they are in a different world than I am. ......"

　Yucca glanced at me and at Kerala, then looked down.

"I've never thought of myself as a superior human being," he said.

　Kerala says with a straight face. This guy is a natural in this way. Yucca will be in trouble. I wouldn't have used him as my chief vassal if he wasn't so good.

"I've never been successful in battle. I'm not a clever princess. ...... I'm really just a lord's daughter. I've heard the stories of Seraphina and Fleur, and I've wondered what powerful people they are.

　Yucca's voice has no power. But it was clear that she was trying hard to spin her true feelings.

"But I can't be as active as those people. I'm not even physically strong. I learned the bare minimum of etiquette at the castle, but I really don't have anything else. There is a saying that a princess should be the diplomat of the family, but I don't think I could even do that. ......"

　As she continues, Yucca's words become more and more pessimistic. This is probably due to her personality.

"So, then, I think I'll leave it to my child."

　Slightly Yucca looked up.

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

"I may not be able to live as an honorable man, but I may be able to raise my unborn child to be a hero. Then my life will have meaning. Besides, I can teach people about their weaknesses, so I might even be able to raise them to be strong people. ......"

　At that moment, Yucca's expression brightened as if she had just blossomed.

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

　I thought it was indeed a motherly and loving expression.

　Her smile was truly charming and at the same time very comforting.

　If I were a poor commoner and allowed to live as a poor commoner, I would have wanted to live with such a wife.

　But if Yucca is mediocre, it is in terms of ability, and I would be punished if I said she is mediocre in terms of looks. She is so beautiful and kind that she could be used as an illustration for a saint.

　I reflexively wanted to make her happy.

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

　No, that still leaves the regal part. I want to be happy with her. And if we can laugh together about trivial things, my heart will be at rest.

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

"That's very altruistic and wonderful."

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

　Kerala complimented him somewhat like an interviewer.

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

"No, this dream is also very egocentric.

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

　Yucca immediately flinched at that.

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

"I'm very weak and I'm not sure if I'll be able to have a baby, or if I do, if I'll be able to keep it alive until it grows up," she said. So my dream also includes the hope that I can watch over the child until it grows up."

　Yucca's fragile smile at that moment was finally doll-like.

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

　In fact, it seemed as if an expensive doll had been made based on her.

　--What an unreliable woman she is!

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

　Hey, don't come out here at a time like this. Even the High King is out of place.

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

　--But she has a charm I don't understand. A woman like her is good once in a while.

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

　I agree. We get along well because of my profession.

　She knows she's weak. She knows it so clearly that it makes me angry. That's a great strength. Those who know their weaknesses are never far wrong. They are many times stronger and smarter than those who think they are strong.

"Is this the right answer? ....... I'm sorry, it's a boring story. ......"

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

　Yucca's expression turns confident again.

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

"No, it was very interesting. I am sure that Kerala, who was listening next to me, would agree.

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

"Yes. Yes. I felt that I have a long way to go. I would like to improve myself.

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

　I'm not sure how much of this is factual, since his face is not smiling. .......

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

"I will inform your father, the Count. Thank you very much for your time today."

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

"Ah, yes. ....... Um, Mr. Regent, ......"

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

　Yucca looked at me anxiously and pleadingly as she stood up.

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

"I'm sure a woman as boring as me could never be your mistress. ...... Please take good care of my father and the Nistonian family. ......"

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

　His attitude was so hunched over that I almost laughed, though I probably shouldn't have.

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

"You have nothing to worry about. I will not neglect my lords who are loyal to the kingdom.

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

　After she left, Kerala and I discussed some thoughts.

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

"What do you think?　I won't hold it against you, so be honest and tell me everything."

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

"I've seen so many princesses like her that I'm sick of it. If only she had not been born in a time of continuous war, she would have been happier and easier to understand."

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

"That's a very typical opinion of you, who has been on an itinerant journey with His Majesty."

　Even in times of war, there will always be people who are not suited to it. Such people are usually preyed upon by war and die.

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

"But I didn't see her as just a weak person. So I'm going to show her my own kind of happiness.

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

　Slowly Kerala nodded.

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

"Well, I didn't expect the Regent to recant his story of welcoming a wife."

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

"Wait ....... You want to say that I'm a sophisticate. ......"

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

　I've been faithful to my wives.

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

At the very least, I haven't put you out of your misery.

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

"Yes, that's right. ......"

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

　Slightly embarrassed, Kerala said.

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

"I've been thinking lately that I'd like to be loved more greedily if possible, but that would upset the equilibrium. ......"

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

　It gradually became clear to me that Kerala was surprisingly possessive.
