A few days after that day.

Because of the intense sex that day, I developed a bone disease and am now in bed with a back that feels like it’s about to break.

Anyway, isn’t it a bit harsh to gorge yourself for half a day without eating? Even at that time, I didn’t even take off my clothes properly, so I rubbed my thighs and ankles because they were rubbed by the leather pants, and they still sting.

Hermel is a hero and has good recovery, so there wasn’t even a trace left, but I’m still red.

what… . Actually, I could wake up with just a potion, but I’m doing this because I’m upset with Hermel.

“Sorry… .”

“If I knew I was sorry, I should have adjusted a little.”

“I was so excited about being able to get Charles pregnant… .”

Hermel, who lowered his head, was very discouraged and answered what I said in a voice that sounded like he was crawling.

Seeing that scene made me feel weak again, and after muttering for a moment, I sighed and slowly got up from the bed.

“Ugh… . Huh… . Oh my waist… .”

Unlike when I was shaking my body, I spontaneously groaned in pain that was just unpleasant and painful.

Oh, I haven’t taken the potion yet. The thought occurred to me late, but since I had already woken up, I just held back and got up and leaned against the back of the bed.

“Don’t force yourself to get up!”

“It’s okay. There’s a potion there, can you bring me some?”

“That’s right! portion! I’ll get it now!”

“No, Hermel. sleep… ! Don’t go out, there’s a potion in the drawer over there… !!”

Hermel’s eyes widened at my words and he ran outside without any plan.

He was in such a hurry that he ran out of the room before I could stop him, and soon after, I heard the sound of everything in the house being destroyed.

“It went… .”

I smiled bitterly and shook my head because my heart was amazing, but it also hurt.

It would be better to just wait for this to happen. With that in mind, I put a pillow on my back, closed my eyes, and recalled the events of that day.

Even though it happened yesterday, it happened yesterday.

‘die… ! I, I’m really dead… !! Ogoooot♥♥’

“Ha… .”

I’m crazy. It’s really crazy… . No matter how good I felt and half lost my mind, as a noble… . Why do you cry like an animal like that when you at least have to maintain your dignity as a human being… .

I felt my face heating up from the self-destruction and shame that came later. Meanwhile, I can feel the heat rising to my lower abdomen.

If it weren’t for the pain in my back and thighs, I would have automatically reached for my hand between my thighs because of the pleasure engraved deep in my mind.

As soon as I realized that, I felt even more self-destruction, so I sighed and washed my face dry.

“Phew… .”

It’s a shame that Hermel isn’t next to me right now. If Hermel was there, he would have fed me the potion and crawled between my legs, saying he would take care of the problem.

If it gets hot like that, something like last time will happen again. And this time, you’ll have to take the potion inside that drawer. Or, you may have to do it until you empty all the potions Hermel bought.

… No, I think the last one went too far. Anyway, I have no doubt that we will mix together again.

If I feel better after taking the potion, I have no reason to refuse… peel?

“Two heads… . It’s not a real animal, and after doing so much, it’s like this again… .”

Come to your senses. Doing it like that again? Can not be done. Let alone feeling good, my body can’t handle it. I don’t mean to sound like an idiot, but I really don’t think I can physically handle it.

I need to restrain myself for a while. Even if you can’t… . Until the baby is safely implanted. You should be careful. I stroked my lower abdomen and slowly caught my breath.

As I was sitting still and stroking my lower abdomen, the door suddenly opened and Hermel came in.

“I’m here!!”

“I just got there. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Hehe. huh! Here’s the potion!”

The potion he took out while shouting like that was in a bottle that looked like it was worth the price of a carriage.

No, since Hermel bought it himself, it would be safe to think that the price of a carriage is ridiculous.

Feeling sorry that Hermel had suffered for no reason because of me, I smiled bitterly and accepted the potion.

“Why did you buy something so expensive? It would be enough to just use the table potions in the drawer… .”

“Because you don’t want to leave any aftereffects or scars. Come on, drink it!”

“Yes. Thanks for buying it, Hermel. I’ll drink it well.”

Hermel smiled and nodded at my words, and I opened the lid of the potion and brought it to my mouth. Before drinking the potion, I smelled it for a moment and noticed a faint fruity scent.

Normal potions are made with herbs as a base, boiled and purified, so they have a foul smell, but it has a faint, fruity scent. I must have bought something really expensive.

As I held the potion bottle to my mouth and drank the liquid, it immediately took effect and I felt the pain in my back and thighs fading away.

“It looks like you bought something really expensive.”

“I was lucky. When I went to the dock, I found there were items from Seongguk. So I bought the most expensive one!”

“Really… . No matter how much money you have left over, it is difficult to spend it like that. You should use it sparingly.”

“There is no benefit to saving money spent on health!”

Hermel is right. okay. There is no benefit to saving money spent on health.

Although it is laughable that Hermel is the one who made me like this. After looking at Hermel for a moment, I nodded.

Hermel smiled brightly, as if he was satisfied with my reaction, and I grinned at him. To be precise, I only smiled with my eyes.

“But the best thing is that you don’t get hurt so you don’t have to use potions, right?”

“Ugh… . That’s right.”

“Getting hurt while fighting is something that can’t be helped, but it’s a bit of a waste to use a potion when you get hurt like this, right?”

“Char, Charles?”

“It is true that we have a lot of money and that Hermel makes good money, but it is a waste to waste it. Isn’t that right?”

“Yeah, right… ?”

I opened my eyes ever so slightly and looked at Hermel, who was shaking in shock.

“Be a little more restrained from now on. Got it?”

“Ugh, yes.”

It didn’t take too long of words to control Hermel, who had not lost his temper.

In other words, it’s similar to saying that there is no way to control Hermel, who has lost his temper… .

What can I do? Before that happens, I need to control it as much as possible.

Otherwise, just exercise… .

Time passed and four weeks passed from that day.

If you want to know what happened in the past 4 weeks… . Nothing special happened.

I’m just living an ordinary, unchanging, peaceful life, too simple to be noble, just like any other day.

Anyway, the sun was just rising. I am waiting for Hermel at the gate of the mansion.

“Hermel! If you don’t come down soon, it’s too late!”

I shouted lightly, and Hermel yawned and trudged out.

“Hwaam… . Going to the market this early… ?”

“If you don’t go out early in the morning, all the good stuff will be sold out.”

“Um… . Instead of going through the trouble of walking around, why not just go to the top and buy it like you normally would?”

Hermel’s words also make sense.

But today, just an ordinary couple… . Like, I shook my head because I felt like I wanted to walk through the market and pick out things together.

“It’s much more convenient, but sometimes it’s not bad to go for a walk or a date like this.”

“It makes sense… . Yes!”

“It makes sense. And I’ve been saying since yesterday that I’d like to go to the market today. Don’t tell me you’re too lazy to go out, just follow me.”

“Ehehe… . Yes.”

Hermel smiled playfully and nodded, and as soon as I glared at him, he rushed to my side.

I wonder if it’s right to use the onomatopoeia “jjolreul” to someone who is taller than me, but I can’t find any other expression to use it because they run at me so quickly.

I laughed at the cuteness that didn’t match my size at all, and I linked arms with Hermel and walked out of the mansion and toward the market.

The distance from the mansion to the market was not that far, so we were able to get there quickly, and when we arrived at the market, Hermel and I looked around leisurely and talked.

“But what kind of wind suddenly blew made you want to go to the market?”

“Well… . Is it just because you feel that way? Well, if I had to give a reason, it would be because I feel a bit sore from staying only in the mansion.”

“How about just hiring a few maids like I said last time? Even if you just hire a maid to manage the mansion, you’ll have plenty of time to wander around.”

“That’s true, but when I think about my relationship with Hermel, there are a lot of things to consider. He has a heavy mouth, is faithful to his duties, must not like women, is loyal――”

“Aren’t there too many conditions?”

“This is basic to working in a mansion. No, this is also greatly reduced. Well, I’ll think about that slowly later, so let’s focus on shopping for now.”

When I shrugged my shoulders and said, Hermel nodded and looked around slowly, then suddenly stopped walking, and I, who was arm in arm with Hermel, had to stop along with Hermel.

When I looked up at Hermel to see what was going on, I saw that he was staring at a stall, and that stall had a sign that said ‘chicken skewers’ on it.

“Chureup… .”

Is it because I left without even eating breakfast? As soon as Hermel saw the meat, he kept swallowing his saliva, and I chuckled at him.

“Do you want to eat it?”

“Huh? Oh no! It’s okay!”

I laughed and poked Hermel’s side with my elbow, seeing that it was obvious to anyone that it was a lie.

“Huh, indeed. Who would think I was starving? If you want to eat, let’s eat. When did I tell you what to eat?”

“No, I did. Then can I really eat it?”

“Okay then. of course. Since I brought plenty of money, I could eat as much as I wanted… .”

no. I have to eat breakfast at the mansion.

I paused for a moment, thinking about what was going on, and then continued speaking again.

“――Don’t eat it. You can eat two or three. I’m going to eat breakfast at the mansion.”

“Yes! okay! Let’s go together!”

“Yes, yes.”

I went to the street stall with Hermel, and just as the golden brown, well-cooked chicken skewers were being finished.

The store was run by a generous lady, and even at first glance, her cooking skills seemed unusual.

If this is enough, you can trust it and eat it. Inwardly satisfied, I placed an order on behalf of Hermel.

“Hello.”

“Oh, welcome, pretty girl! What should I give you?”

“Hehe. Please give me two chicken skewers, sister.”

The woman’s eyes widened at my words, she covered her mouth, smiled, and pointed behind me with her chin.

“Ughhuhuhu. Can I have two?”

When I glanced back at those words, I saw Hermel staring at the chicken skewers with his mouth wide open.

really… . I can’t stop you. I laughed bitterly and asked the lady for three chicken skewers.

The woman nodded loudly and quickly completed the skewers and handed them over, but there was one more skewer.

“This… .”

“That’s service~ You made me feel good in the morning, so I should repay you.”

While saying that, I smiled at the woman who winked.

“I will eat well, sister.”

“Oh my~! This lady! Even if you call me like that twice, it won’t come out anymore~”

I laughed and handed three chicken skewers to Hermel and calculated the price.

“I will eat well.”

“Yes, yes. Come in~”

The moment I lightly nodded and brought the chicken skewers to my mouth to take a bite, I felt a surge of nausea, as if someone was holding the top and bottom of my stomach and twisting it like a rag.

Hold on? The feeling of nausea rising faster than the options appeared, I just let go of the skewer and covered my mouth, gagging.

“Wow!?”

I retched so loudly that everyone around me could hear it, and Hermel and the woman right next to me looked at me in shock.

“Char, Charles!?”

“Oh my! Miss, are you okay!?”

“? Ah oh… ?”

They both seemed quite embarrassed, but I was the one who was really embarrassed.

Are you feeling nauseous like this all of a sudden? I didn’t eat anything wrong or got sick, right? It’s not like the skewers have an inedible smell, so why?

As my hands were trembling and my eyes were blinking, the woman who came running over to me to check my condition smiled brightly, then patted my back and said,

“It’s morning sickness!”

“Hehe… ?”

Those words caught me off guard in a different way than before.

Now, 4 weeks have passed since that day. I think I’m pregnant.
