"That's an exaggeration. Let me make an excuse."

　I wonder if Serafina has healed from the wounds of her family's destruction. Or is this exchange a way for Serafina to get back at her family?

"There have been many kings who were sluttier with women than me, and many kings who had more children than me since ancient times. At the very least, I never had a child by a town girl whose name I don't even remember. All the other great lords were the same way.

"Yes, I am a womanizer. But few men are misogynistic. It must be some bigoted priest or something.

"Oh dear, now you're back at it. Well, I'm sure this Tarsha girl is relieved to have a successor. ...... No, that's an exaggeration. Children are anxious until they are born."

　I don't know exactly how I feel about that, but I guess it gives me the creeps. All I can do is pray for a clean environment for the birth and good health for both mother and child.

"The letter also said that the next count of the frontier would be appointed in case of emergency. After all, the father is in Maust. He said he would choose a relative who would be supportive of me.

　Usually, when the monarch dies, his or her spouse acts as acting patriarch. This authority is the same for a son-in-law or daughter-in-law who does not inherit the blood of the monarch.

　In this case, however, Tarsha is not married, which complicates the story.

　If the vassals trust me as Machar, there will be no contradiction in the story. But that would be difficult for the vassals to accept.

　The man who did not even come to their land as their son-in-law, and who impregnated their lord without their permission. I am sure Tarsha is following up on this, but it is a very special case. For the time being, it would be safer to choose the next frontier count from among the blood relatives.

"Tarsha is a woman with the capacity of a great lord. There is no doubt about that. I thought it would be most effective to announce that she is my child."

"Oh, you talk about my children as if they were not your own.

　Serafina looks somewhat disgruntled.

"It's true that he needs an heir, and in his position, he could at least have a mistress, couldn't he?　I can't prove it anyway, so why don't you just claim it's mine and ......"

"The Master is a politician and a soldier, but he doesn't know the first thing about women's hearts, does he?"

　Serafina sighed deliberately. This is the kind of attitude one takes when one is truly discouraged.

"She loved her husband with all her heart. Of course, it's not a bad idea to have a mistress when it comes to politics, but I'm sure he didn't do that. It's the Master's son.

"I understand. We're both in love with the same person."

"It's usually those who have survived on their own who fall in love with those they have beaten. Not many people are that intriguing, are they?　That interest is called love."

"For love, though, I was asked for my body right away."

　Like a saint by profession, Serafina gently closed her eyes, folded her hands and prayed.

　Her language was a bit impersonal, but in reality, Serafina had a very straightforward personality.

　Occupation and personality are related to a certain extent. If she had been incapable of wishing happiness to someone else, she would never have obtained the vocation of a saint.

"Seraphina, I know I'm still going to put you through a lot of hardship, but please take care of me.

"I will continue to support you, Master, even if you don't ask me to. Be prepared for that. I'm still going to support you for decades. The time before he becomes king will only be a short time.
