Chapter 186
Vol. 2 Chapter 186
Sermon
Translated by Raizu
It was the day after Raeve and I became one in body and soul.
I felt that the servants and guards were strangely nervous.
A tense atmosphere filled the entire city hall, and for some reason it made me hesitate to talk to them.
As soon as I finished breakfast, I went into the mayor’s office. Feeling as if I had nowhere to go.
I had been moving my hips until late in the night, so I’m a little sleepy right now.
Raeve didn’t even get up for breakfast and was sleeping like dead in bed.
I planned to leave for Newnelly City tomorrow, so I have to finish my work in Nambonan City quickly.
However, before I realized it, I was fast asleep due to the lack of sleep.
My consciousness waned as my body melted into the back of the chair around the time I gave the maid with an awkward smile a few errands.
[…..Young Master.]
Even my half-asleep brain understood that someone had been calling out to me several times.
Before I knew it, there was a maid standing right next to me.
[……………I fell asleep for a bit.]
While saying that, I looked at the middle-aged woman who was straightening her posture right after entering the room.
I had a bad feeling about it, but I didn’t feel a sense of danger because I was excited just by remembering the play last night. However, the moment I saw the middle-aged woman’s solemn expression, not only the drowsiness in my head, but also the remnants of the sweet feeling were blown away.
This middle-aged woman is the person who single-handedly manages the maids and female servants who are on business trips to Nambonan City.
Rather than a head maid, she’s more of a female civil officer.
Due to the nature of his work, she is a person that I don’t usually have many opportunities to interact with.
[I apologize for the sudden visit.]
When the civil officer lady said so, she showed a polite gesture of thanks. I felt she was able to show off the dignity of a lady with her relaxed voice and gesture.
When she asked for time to talk, I naturally replied with a yes.
[What happened last night?]
Ah, of course, I thought to myself.
I could only think that the lovey-dovey sex with Raeve last night was the reason why the civil officer lady went out of her way to ignore the schedule and rush in at this timing.
[Last night?]
[Yes. It will be a very disrespectful story, so if Young Master is uncomfortable, please say so immediately.]
Noblemen are sexually sensitive, so they need to be very careful when talking about that affairs.
My libido isn’t that delicate, but from the standpoint of those below me, the sex life of a noble would seem like nothing more than a minefield.
The lady frightenedly listened to what was going on here, inserting a number of cushions for conversation so as not to step on landmines, and gradually brought the story closer to the core.
[…It seems that Young Master is very fond of Miss Raeve. I heard from Young Master’s maid that Young Master showered Raeve-sama with love last night. Is this true?]
It seems that the gist of this case is whether or not the mana was released with positive emotions.
And it’s clear from her tone that this is more than just a confirmation and prelude for question.
I nodded obediently because there was no point in denying it other than making the conversation unable to progress.
[I got a little too excited. Did it affect the city?]
Due to the excitement and sweetness of the first experience of exchanging emotions, I uncontrollably released my magic power.
I thought that, like the murderous intent, this had some kind of effect on the residents’ minds, and that the lady had been dispatched to give me a sermon about it.
However, the lady didn’t seem to be very interested in that.
[I think there was probably some influence, but it’s nothing too big.]
According to the lady, since the feelings of goodwill that I emanated were directed at Raeve, even if the citizens were exposed to it, it would not have a serious effect.
Even with murderous intent, the Spierzeig soldiers felt it the most because the vector of malice filled with the thought of [Spierzeig army must die!] was directed at them.
As a comparison, it’s like the students who are receiving a sermon from the principal at the school assembly. Even if the reprimand is directed at the whole group rather than at a specific individual, each student should feel that the vector is directed towards each of them.
In this case, the love-filled sentiment filled with the thought [I love Raeve! Very much so! Be impregnated with my seed!] of was spreading. Even if the citizens were exposed to it, it would not have much impact.
It’s because they should be able to tell that the vector of [Love] that spread out wasn’t directed for them, therefore it won’t resonate to the depths of their heart.
However, it may feel like looking at a couple who openly showed their intimacy in the public. You may feel horny and want to have some love love moments with your wife or lover.
Perhaps, last night, families here and there may have initiated their baby-making procession.
[Then, what am I being scolded for?]
This is not a scolding, the lady humbly reconfirmed the location of the mines.
No matter how much she defended herself, I’m going to get some sort of warning.
I fluttered my palms around, making a gesture telling that I didn’t care, and then told her to move forward quickly.
The civil officer lady, seemingly having made up her mind, took a deep breath before looking at me.
[The exchange of emotions through magic.]
I expected her to scold me by telling me that I should hold back a little, but she gave me stronger words than I had expected.
[I heard from Raeve-sama, who just finished breakfast.]
Apparently, while I was taking a morning nap in the Mayor’s office, Raeve was interviewed by the civil officer lady.
I remained silent and waited for the continuation of the story.
[…..Before that, there is something I want to tell you. To tell the truth, last night, out of all the emotional magic that spread throughout the city, I was only able to perceive Young Master’s magic. No one has detected Raeve-sama’s magical powers.]
I don’t know where the lady is staying, but it just happened to be far from the Mayor’s residence.
Just as I was about to open my mouth to reply, the lady continued.
[We have confirmed it with the people who were at the Mayor’s residence last night. Everyone testifies that they felt only Young Master’s magical power.]
[…Is that so? I feel like Raeve was also emitting quite a strong magic…but at least the guards in front of the door would have noticed.]
Considering the amount of magic that Raeve hit me with, I had a feeling that it would affect a radius of about 100 meters from the Mayor’s residence.
[I also confirmed with the escort, but it seems that they did not sense Raeve-sama’s magical power. They said that they were surprised when Young Master’s magic power was suddenly spreading.]
If my lovey-dovey aura suddenly popped out of my bedroom, I’d be surprised. Moreover, since Raeve didn’t send out a love-love aura to reply, it should seem like I’m one-sidedly calling out love. A completely pathetic person.
[Ah…I see. So you thought I was getting too fixated on Raeve?]
One of the troublesome traits of noble boys is their prejudice.
Simply put, it is like a serious love disease, and it can be said that it is a factor that can greatly affect the survival of the House.
It’s still better if you develop partiality towards your legal wife.
Because his love for his legal wife overflows, he can easily get a full erection. The wife will have the merit of being impregnated with a Highlord child.
There are concerns that it will be difficult to secure Lord-class children because he will have to give more consideration than necessary to his legal wife and her parents’ family, and that he will not pay attention to the mistress, but if that is all there is to it, it is safe enough.
It’s a little troublesome if it happens to commoners, servants, and other concubines.
It is an advantage to have more descendants, but this does not necessarily mean that the High Lord’s cock is essential. As long as there is no pressure on the number of Lords, it is quite possible to increase the number of Knights alone.
Rather, the disadvantage of not being able to get an erection for his legal wife is greater. Noble boys have a duty to produce a Highlord heir who will lead the next generation in order to keep the family alive.
This is exactly what the civil officer lady was concerned about this time.
She’s wary that I’m getting too fixated on Raeve and losing sight of the other women.
In addition to being charmingly beautiful, Raeve also has large breasts. If I were to choose a legal wife who would not be inferior to her, my father’s search for a wife would be extremely difficult.
The favoritism of Noble boys is troublesome.
There are countless stories in the history of the Eruo continent where the boy went out of control with the passion of love and made a big mistake.
A certain Noble boy fell in love with a Princess from another territory who already had a fiancée, and because he wanted her for himself, he started a war with her fiancée, a nobleman, and the territory fell into disrepair… I’ve never heard of such a story though.
My grandfather is actually one example. After falling in love with my grandmother, Cassia Quordenze, he willingly threw away all the glory he had accumulated up to that point and married into the Quordenze family.
The servants seemed to be overly cautious about favoritism, probably because there was an outrageous reference example nearby.
[…It’s as Young Master said. I’ve come to confirm whether your affection is only for Raeve-sama. There are things to do in the future.]
An emergency meeting must have been held as soon as it was confirmed that I was releasing magical energy. It was a late-night call, and it may have been an all-nighter.
I see. So that’s why the atmosphere has been tense since morning.
[So, what did Raeve say?]
[She said that she exchanged hearts with Young Master.]
Initially, Raeve endured the interrogation silently out of shame, but apparently she could not dodge the impending pursuit of the civil officer lady for a long time.
Apparently, she confessed that she had exchanged emotions with me using magic, all the while her face was red in embarrassment.
That’s how the suspicion that I was being fixated on Raeve has been cleared.
In the end, I was just returning the favor by following the way Raeve released her magic.
Just to be sure, I added that I was just enjoying special sex rather than exhibiting partiality.
[…Even so, I wonder why you guys couldn’t feel Raeve’s magic power. In the beginning, we were interacting with each other, so I don’t think it was hidden by my magic power…]
[I have also confirmed that with Raeve-sama. Apparently releasing magic power filled with goodwill is actively practiced in their race. Perhaps, their culture has something to do with it.]
[How come?]
[Between a very limited number of close people, such as a couple, a lover, and a parent and child…they do not do it with an unspecified number of people.]
I’m a little relieved that all the elves aren’t promiscuous races like hole brothers and rod sisters.
And even though it’s a cultural thing, it doesn’t mean that they confirm their love each time they see each other.
In other words, Raeve put a lot of effort into sex last night. And that revelation made me happy.
[So, what does that have to do with anything?]
[Nobody else could sense Raeve-sama’s magic power other than Young Master. So this is just a conjecture.]
After speaking the introduction, the civil officer lady said,
[Perhaps, I think that it is a technique that has been sublimated as one of the magic.]
[Are you saying it’s not just a magic power release?]
[Yes. Simply releasing magic will spread it around. From what I’ve heard, it’s a magic that suppresses the spread as much as possible and delivers the emotions contained in the magic only to a specific target at a short distance… If Young Master who actually received it felt that it was a magic power release, it can be concluded that it is a technique which developed from the magical release.]
As the civil officer lady said, I thought that Raeve was releasing magic with goodwill, so I imitated it and returned it.
Nevertheless, the guards in front of the door sensed my magic, but not Raeve’s. In other words, Raeve and I were doing different things.
If it’s not just a magic release, it’s a technique that uses magic… in other words, it’s a sort of magic spell. That’s quite interesting to note. Then, the civil officer lady said with a stiff expression.
[Young Master. It is not desirable to convey affection by releasing magical energy.]
She asserted once again.
[This is just a guess based on the power of the magic power released by the Young Master last night, but wouldn’t it be difficult to limit the amount released?]
[…well, once I get more absorbed in the act, it’ll get more and more intense.]
If you mix positive feelings into your magical power while you’re in a state of heightened excitement during sexual intercourse, you’ll end up wanting to release it with all your might.
It’s a little similar to ejaculation.
[Young Master has not learned how to do it discreetly like Raeve-sama does. So, please refrain from doing the same next time Young Master gives anyone your favor… Regardless if it’s only once or twice, if this continues, Young Master will be looked down upon by the commoners.]
If you think about whether a person who flirts with a woman every night has dignity, the answer is probably no.
What’s more, when I’m with Raeve, how can I say this? I feel like I want to be spoiled by her motherhood.
Most likely, the civil officer lady was complaining about the latter. A Lord with a good grasp in magical power should be able to sense the emotion of the emitted magical power in much more detail than a serf. I guess they could trace the existence of a small amount of the feeling of [Spoiled me rotten like I’m your own baby] contained within.
Indeed, it’s a little embarrassing.
When I thought that Raeve, who was rich in motherhood, was at fault, the civil officer lady repeated her words.
[There must be some spies from other territories in Nambonan City. Young Master’s magical power last night was spread over a very wide area. They could have easily learned of Young Master’s night affairs.]
[………..That’s not good.]
It appears that the Highlord is having sex in Nambonan City every night. Moreover, he loves spoiled baby sex play and is a boobman… There’s no way I want others to know all that.
And this is not just a matter of my shame. Considering the circumstances unique to the Eruo continent, where a noble’s sexuality is directly linked to their military power, whether it’s impotence or promiscuity, it’s never profitable to know the details of the movements of the lower half of the body.
[Young Master will eventually welcome your lawful wife. Is it really a good idea to open your heart? Miss Raeve is a minority race from a faraway mist land. Villagers have villager etiquette, and nobles have Noble etiquette. It is unlikely that the future lawful wife will respond to Young Master’s will. If she is a Princess of the nobility, there is also modesty.]
I don’t think my future wife, probably a noble Princess, would have learned the same magic as Raeve. Therefore, if I convey my love by releasing magic power, the Princess will have no choice but to respond by releasing her own magic power in a similar way.
However, would a noble Princess really release the full-blown emotion of animalistic lust to the whole city, while thinking, [I love you! Hohohoho! I’ll squeeze more of cum with my pussy so that I’ll get pregnant with your baby!]. No matter how you look at it, it’s impossible.
If the Young Master expresses his love, but his legal wife does not return it, his heart will be hurt and he’ll become an impotent… The civil officer lady and other servants couldn’t help but imagine such a story and were frightened.
I was amazed at how negative thinking they were, but there was no basis for denying it.
In fact, there was no guarantee that the marriage partner would respond to the release of magic power, and it was easier to imagine a situation where she would politely refuse.
[I would like to confirm one thing, but is it not possible to release magic with emotions?]
[I haven’t heard much about it because it’s a shameful thing to open one’s heart. …. It is rare for a woman who is breastfeeding to release magic power towards her child, but it is better to say that it comes out naturally rather than doing it on purpose. Of course, even in that case, the release will be stopped at a moment’s notice, and if it is a female noble, it will prompt the attention of the attendants before they are noticed by the surroundings.]
As far as I remember when I was an infant, my mother, Merley’s breastfeeding time was the most enjoyable time for me.
I thought it was the joy of being able to drink breast milk from a beautiful young wife’s big breasts, but now that I think about it, I feel like I’ve been bathed in a rare brain-melting euphoria.
Perhaps it was the affectionate feeling that was emanating from my mother.
I see, there seems to be a basis for feeling a motherly element from Raeve.
If I let my guard down, I think I’ll get spoiled rotten until I get yelled at.
[…..Alright, I get it. It’s an action ill-befitting for a nobleman.]
[Thank you for your understanding.]
I understood what the civil officer lady was trying to say. However, I felt regretful.
Last night’s play was really addicting and enjoyable. I think it’s really a waste to have such a pleasant act taken away.
In the future, in order to have the full experience of sexual intercourse with Raeve, it might be necessary to move to places where there are no people around, such as deep in the mountains. Not impossible, but very time consuming.
If I could learn the love magic from Raeve, the problem would be solved somewhat, but that might prove to be difficult.
[It will be difficult to acquire Raeve’s technique… I guess?]
[If it’s magic, it will be difficult. You can’t learn magic from just one person.]
As the civil officer lady said, Raeve’s magic cannot be learned.
A knight’s Lord and a commoner’s Lord have different amounts of mana due to the environment in which they were raised, but there is another unavoidable disparity.
That is, their way of learning magic.
Magic in this world is not activated by chanting spells or drawing magic circles. It is triggered somehow.
Somehow it emits flames, somehow strengthens the body, and somehow brightens the surroundings.
The activation of magic is extremely ambiguous.
As for how to learn such magic that works [somehow], it’s also simply learned [somehow].
Simply put, you have no choice but to have someone who has already mastered the magic teach you.
Even if you ask someone to teach you, I don’t mean in teaching through words or books. You just ask them to show you how it’s actually activated.
For those who want to learn magic, touch the body of someone who has already mastered it, and have them activate the magic in that state…that’s all there is to do.
In this way, the learner can perceive the movement of the magical power to activate the magic with their sixth sense, the sense of magical power.
By learning how to use magic, applying it to your own senses, and reproducing it, you will finally be able to use magic.
The sense of magical power is something that cannot be verbalized. Therefore, there is no way to create a magic book.
Learning a magic technique is limited to [somehow] connecting to those who can use said technique and sensing how it’s done.
And certain techniques cannot be learned only from one master.
There are really big individual differences in how to activate magic and how to move magic power, and it is easy to get used to it.
In order to learn the magic used by A, B learned how to use magic. However, in the end, it was [How to move magic in A’s case]’, and even if B imitated this exactly as it was, the magic he was looking for may not be activated.
As for what to do, B needs to learn how to use magic from C, who can use the same magic. By doing so, B will know how to move the magic of A and C, and B will be able to understand the difference with a sense of magic.
By comparing yourself to others, you will be able to see the essence of what is the result of getting rid of individual differences and habits.
After repeating these steps and forming an image of magic in their mind, B should try to recreate the magic in their own way.
If things go well, B will be able to activate the magic. It means that you have learned it.
Of course, if B learns not only from A and C, but also D and E, they will have more samples and it will be easier to produce differences, and that will speed up your learning.
For example, when I learned magic, I learned how to activate it from all the Highlords in Newnelly Castle.
Even with that many samples, it took me several days to learn it completely, so it must be quite difficult to learn magic.
However, once you learn it, you can apply it effectively. Even if you want to change the brightness or color of the lighting, you can adjust it [somehow] with a sense of magic. That point is convenient.
For that reason, it will be extremely difficult to learn unless there are at least two people who have mastered the said magic. This is because one person can only learn how to activate it full of habits.
In this respect, the disparity between those who came from a knight family and those who came from a commoner family is blatantly apparent.
Commoners have very few opportunities to learn magic. It is natural because there are few Lords in the commoner area.
On the other hand, for example, if you are from a knight family in the Quordenze territory, you will meet regularly and hold something like a sharing meeting so that your magic skills will not be lost.
Since each individual is expected to play a role as a repository, the range of magic that can be used is extremely wide.
But, it’s not like you can’t learn from scratch.
Because it’s easy to understand one’s own body, if you’re a Lord, you can somehow activate physical strengthening magic, and if you’re a person who usually makes fires, you can use magic that shoots fire with a sense of intuition.
Even if it’s just one person, it’s possible to learn from them if they study for decades. Efficiency is the worst though.
Sadly, I didn’t have enough free time to spend decades learning from Raeve about the magic of conveying emotions.
[It’s a problem. If there is only one master, it will be useless.]
If Raeve’s expressions of affection were sublimated into a kind of magic, then multiple people would be required to master it.
However, judging from the civil officer lady’s way of speaking, this magic is a technique handed down by Raeve’s race, and does not exist in the Quordenze territory.
Thinking about it normally, I think Eve would be able to activate Raeve’s magic…but I wonder if she could do it.
She’ll do it if I ask, but I feel like she’ll be conveying her disgust to me. There’s no way I could just tell her [Hey, Eve! You like me, don’t you? Show me your emotions!] …That is completely blackmail. The feelings conveyed would probably be disgust that ebbs and rises in the feeling of love that she was forced to create.
My cock is withering at that thought.
[… Well, let’s think about the future. I will be leaving Nambonan tomorrow, so I won’t be able to see Raeve again for a while.]
[Will Raeve-sama stay here?]
[Yeah, I told her last night.]
I just arrived in Nambonan yesterday, but I’m already planning to leave for Newnelly City tomorrow.
When I told Raeve about this, she said that she wanted to go to Newnelly with me. It’s cute.
However, after arriving in Newnelly, I will immediately depart for the Royal Capital, Levios. And it is expected that I will not come back for about a month, or longer depending on the case.
When I talked about it, Raeve said that she would stop following me.
It seems that she decided that it would be better to wait for me at the mansion in Nambonan City, where she had become somewhat accustomed, rather than waiting for my return alone in Newnelly City, where she knew no one.
Even for me, it would be a problem if she met Eve who I had not yet completed conciliation with. It was nice to hear that from her.
As expected of Raeve, she didn’t say, [Then, I’ll follow you to the Royal Capital, Levios].
For her, the name Levios is nothing but fear.
When I asked if we would go to the Levios territory together, Raeve’s expression stiffened. It was understandable, but really cute at the same time.
[That’s why. If there’s nothing else to discuss, I’d like to prepare for the departure…]
Just when I was about to end the talk with the civil officer lady, there was a knock on the door.
