I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess - Chapter 236



236 – Seemingly Constant, Changing Daily Life (1)

The Bertus family has threatened the royal family!

From the next day, this news quickly spread throughout the country.

Someone raised a conspiracy theory, someone sympathized with the emperor who had his family his held hostage and had to live like a puppet, and someone even raised their voice saying that he was also a sinner.

How can you not know what is right?

But one thing was certain: the people were not so cold-hearted.

Knowing that the stability of this country over the years was clearly due to the efforts of the Hellvenir royal family, everyone did not turn their backs and point fingers at them.

About a week after this confusion, Bartheus announced that he would inherit the throne to his son.

Just as new wine must be put into a new glass, at this point, he realized that his existence was no longer useful to the ever-changing Hellvenir Empire.

Robert, who at first vehemently refused this request, realized that this was the first sincere request he had received from his father, and eventually decided to take over the throne.

When this news came, the one who was most happy was none other than Yulken.

“Father, your mouth has been glued to your ears since morning.”

In the same daily life as usual.

Ariel, who was busy organizing documents, tilted her head when she saw her father visiting her office for the first time in a while.

This is because there was such a frivolous smile on his lips that it was hard to believe that it was made by the so solemn Yulken.

If you express it with a sound effect, it’s a laugh.

Even when Edgar was teasing her, I was dumbfounded by her expression that she didn’t make easily.

It’s so bad that it makes you think you’re standing there with Edgar wearing Yulken’s skin.

“Okay. As soon as Bartheus steps down from his position as emperor, the couple decided to go on a trip.”

“… “Her daughter is having a hard time here?”

“You have a son-in-law by your side, right? “This father needs to clear things up with his friends for the first time in a while.”

A wry smile formed on the lips of Edgar, who was sitting on the sofa listening to the conversation between the two people.

Why did you have to salt your hair like that in front of Ariel, who had been complaining since this morning, asking when are we going to rest?

Even Yulken of Amman would have been afraid of her daughter’s retaliation of her, but she seemed too happy to see anything of her.

“If you two are going to go together, you will need to bring at least a thousand guards.”

“Well, I guess I was worried about that. “Isn’t there a better way?”

Even though he retired from active duty in Amman, it is the travel route of the former owner of the Grand Duke family and the former emperor.

There may be people with impure intentions waiting for you along the way, sharpening their knives.

However, since it was a long-awaited trip with friends, Yulken did not want to make too much of a fuss, so he was very worried.

“Ugh, I don’t know. What happened this time is so big that my head hurts. Just ask Ed.”

Ariel also wanted to give some appropriate advice, but she was so busy with work today that she couldn’t find the time.

Therefore, she secretly handed over her role to Edgar who was next to her and focused on her documents again.

Naturally, Yulken’s eyes turned to him.

“You seem to be very busy too. “I don’t know if it was a hindrance.”

“It’s okay. Still, this is better than the first day back from the imperial palace.”

It wasn’t really an empty word.

On the day I returned to Hespania after completing the coup, as soon as I saw the office, I thought, ‘Let’s give up on this and do it tomorrow.’

“Well, it was hell back then. As soon as she opened the office door, she saw her daughter screaming.”

“Ah, Dad! Please don’t distort my memory!”

Her head was already hurting because of all the documents piled up in front of her, but Ariel couldn’t bear it and screamed at her father’s behavior next to her, which was getting on her nerves.

“Dad… It’s been a while since I heard this. It would be nice if I could stop by more often.”

Although he could have been hurt by this behavior, Yulken instead showed a happy expression, saying that it was good to be called ‘dad’ for the first time in a while.

Edgar, who was watching the scene, was able to realize once again that Yulken was no ordinary person.

I wonder if the blood of the Robeheim family goes anywhere.

“Oh, it just came out accidentally! That’s enough, let’s go out, Mom… No, just talk to your mother!”

“Okay, the intruder has to go away. It looks like there’s a lot to do today, so don’t pay too much attention.”

The rumor that strange sounds could be heard from the office at night was already known to everyone in the castle.

When Yulken quietly mentioned this as he left the room, Ariel’s face turned bright red again.

Why is this damn father so anxious about not being able to catch his daughter today?

“Just leave now!”

“Hmm…”

Ariel spewed out red mana in all directions, as if she would take hard measures if the ultimatum did not work.

Only then did Yulken realize that it could not be passed off as a joke, so he tapped Edgar on the shoulder a couple of times and left the office.

It was a playfulness that was not seen in him in the past.

“Why is my father getting more and more mischievous?”

Edgar only speaks after Yulken disappears.

At this, Ariel finally burst out of her suppressed anger and jumped up from her seat.

Who is this for now and are you talking about it like it’s someone else’s business?

“It’s all because of you, you idiot!”

“It’s because of me?”

“Then who else is there besides you! “It’s clear that my father has become irritated because you always play pranks on me!”

Helen also sometimes says to her, ‘It seems like your father has been influenced by Ed.’

It’s just absurd to her that Edgar, the host that spread it, doesn’t know.

At first, I thought he was pretending not to know, but looking at those confused and wandering eyes, it was clear that he really didn’t know.

Ariel realized that there was no use in saying anything more in this situation, so she huffed and walked to Edgar’s side of her.

Then, she plopped down on the seat next to him, nervously holding onto his leg as he was sorting out the documents she had just finished reviewing.

“Sii, give me your leg!”

“What kind of ghost are you? Why suddenly…”

“It’s okay, give it to me!”

Ariel pushed Edgar to the end of the sofa and lay down on her seat, using her thighs as pillows.

Just when I was already having a headache from struggling with documents all morning, this insult came in, and I no longer had the will to work.

You can call me a tyrant.

I will have to rest like this for today.

“I have a lot of work to do, but want to rest?”

“I don’t know. I’m going to rest today no matter what. “You too join in.”

“Is that what you should say as a boss… ?” … ?”

Just because I was Edgar didn’t mean I was full of motivation today.

I’ve been busy lately, and I’m exhausted in many ways from moving around.

Still, if two people let things go, who will do the final review?

At the very least, in times like this, shouldn’t Ariel, the leader, step in and say something like, ‘Let’s do our best for today and take a break tomorrow!’

Edgar couldn’t help but laugh at the situation where the positions were somehow reversed.

“Hmph, isn’t it the role of a subordinate to encourage an unmotivated boss?”

“All you have to do is do your job well…” “Ouch, stop pinching me.”

“Anyway, they say they will never lose.”

Ariel pouted her lips as she saw him not understanding even though it was a request to motivate her by doing anything.

Do you know but pretend not to know, or do you really not know?

Anyway, since the sword was held here, it didn’t matter much. Just keep holding on like that.

“Is it that hard?”

“How many days do you think you’ve been running?”

“… Well, it was a bit long.”

I don’t know if it was just a continuation of my normal daily life, but after that incident, I really couldn’t open my eyes.

It’s so bad that even Edgar thinks this might be a bit harsh.

I had no choice but to become even busier as I not only completed the work that had piled up, but also kept pace with the changing reality.

Nevertheless, Edgar knew that not everything she said was her true intention.

Of course, it would be dissatisfying to be busy and not have time to enjoy the time between lovers.

However, I could tell that she was feeling proud from the faint smile on her face every time she handed over a pile of documents.

“But it feels good, right?”

“… It’s more annoying to notice. How do you know?”

“Because it’s what you dreamed of.”

Ariel has long dreamed of a northern country that no longer fights against foreigners, or more specifically, the Karbita people.

It was an achievement she had once given up on, but now she was able to see the glimmer of hope.

Even if she says she’s not that happy, that’s probably not what she’s feeling on the inside.

“You know, Ed.”

“Why?”

“Is it really possible?”

“Foot, come now?”

Edgar inadvertently burst into laughter at her unconfident tone.

It wasn’t a laugh, it was just that I thought it was cute to see her different from usual.

“I chose the path, but I thought it would be too difficult.”

“So you give up?”

“It’s not like that… I think I can do it if I give it a little strength.”

In the end, was this the big picture?

Ariel always talks longer before she gets what she wants. It’s a habit she’s been carrying on for a long time.

So what does she want this time?

If you ask her to hug you or kiss her lips, she will be able to do it.

Of course, there is a difference between receiving something and doing it herself, so she may have brought this up because she wanted him to do it.

In response to her incomprehensible request to her, Edgar bent down to hug her thigh and whispered to her while she was lying down.

“Say it. “What is it?”

“… Will you listen?”

“Have I ever not listened to your request?”

Of course, there were times when I didn’t listen.

However, that is limited to really absurd requests, and most requests are accepted even if they are somewhat difficult.

One way or another, as much as Ariel was weak to Edgar, she was also weak to Ariel.

“That’s true, but…”

‘What on earth is causing this?’

When Edgar saw the Northern Grand Duke of the world hesitating so much, he became curious about what the request was.

Regardless of whether I could listen or not, I just wanted to at least hear what it was.

Since ancient times, there is nothing more unpleasant than someone stopping talking.

“… “I want to.”

“What? “I couldn’t hear it.”

Ariel, lying down on her thighs, folded her hands on her chest and shyly opened her mouth.

However, because she spoke in an ant-crawling voice, she could not reach Edgar’s ears.

In response, Edgar leaned closer and listened to her.

As I looked at her with red cheeks, I felt that she was a little stern, but she tried to control herself.

“Kid… “I want it.”

“… Huh?”

The comment he soon heard was something that made his head stop for a moment.

“I think I will be able to work harder if I think that this is the world I will show my child later…” ” “No?”

“…”

From noble mtl dot come

He was momentarily at a loss for words at the cute and cheeky request, unbecoming of a northern ruler.

Until the wedding ceremony, I tried to have s*x but refrain from having children as much as possible. When would I ever have thought that he would suddenly make such a request now?

“There’s still some time left until the ceremony?”

“Are you okay. Uh, I told my mom too…”

You completed the preliminary investigation early.

Edgar, who took advantage of her strategy with both hands, smiled bitterly and asked Helen about her intentions.

“What are you saying?”

“You said you wanted to see me as soon as possible. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s a grandson or a granddaughter.”

“… Really?”

Then he has no particular reason to refrain.

It was truly welcome news for Edgar, who had already found it difficult to bear the sight of her coquettishly gesturing like a cat on her thigh.

Jump up.

When Edgar stood up from her lying position, Ariel started and began to struggle.

“Now, wait! What are we going to do!?”

“He said he was going to rest today anyway.”

“Ah, it’s still daylight, you idiot!”

It reminds me of when I asked whether it was day or night.

He wanted to say something, but he thought it would only break the mood, so he quietly grabbed the handle of the door next to the office.

Since I was busy with a lot of things, it was a simple room built next to my office just in case.

There was almost no other furniture and only a bed for two people to lie down on, but it was probably the perfect place for their current purpose.

At first, Ariel was fierce and rebelling, but as soon as she crossed the door, her attitude began to change.

The hand that was holding Edgar’s neck became a little more intimate, and the face that had been leaning on his shoulder gradually moved towards the nape of his neck.

Thump.

Soon the door was closed, and all sounds echoing in the room were prevented from escaping by Ariel’s magic her.

Shuri, who had belatedly stopped by the office with something to deliver, tilted her head at the quiet room with no one in it, then realized that the door to the next room was closed and quickly left the room.

And there was a strict ban on anyone entering the office until dinner.

The presence of a quick-witted seed is always a great help.
