Chapter 586 Alvin’s Life As A Lord Filled With Hope
Renka and Milis’s pregnancies were almost simultaneously discovered.
Milis, who hadn’t gotten her period, called a doctor and had a magic examination, which revealed that she was pregnant. Renka, who had also been feeling like her period was late, happened to have a conversation with Milis about it, and then got checked, discovering that she was also pregnant.
From then on, it was a huge commotion.
Renka and Milis held hands and rejoiced, and Alvin, who had overheard their conversation, rushed into the room, overjoyed, and tried to lift Milis up, but was stopped by Shinji and Emily, who had arrived later, and ended up getting lectured by Shinji and Christina.
Anyway, Milis’s pregnancy was undoubtedly the greatest celebration for the Wolf family. Since the eldest son inherits the family title, her child would be the one to carry on the Wolf family’s legacy.
Their pregnancies triggered a change in their work assignments.
Milis, who had been prioritizing her work outside the mansion as Alvin’s wife, had her frequency of going outside reduced and became mainly an indoor worker, with Christina taking over as Alvin’s partner for social events and outdoor work.
Renka, who had been doing a lot of work outside the mansion, changed to working in the treasury room. She thought she’d get to work with Shinji, but he ended up taking her place as an outdoor worker, so her plan didn’t work out.
However, Akane and Milis started visiting the treasury room frequently, and the place that Shinji used to have all to himself became a workplace and resting area for the girls.
It goes without saying that Alvin started visiting the treasury room frequently as well.
”Mil, Renka, let’s take a break!”
That day, Alvin visited the treasury room with Akane, who was pushing a tea cart with snacks. The girls welcomed him with smiles, as they had grown accustomed to his daily visits.
”It’s already that time, huh? …It’s about time, and Mil should take a break too.”
”Yeah, Al-kun, go sit down first?”
”Okay.”
As they organized the documents in front of them and put away their writing utensils, Alvin sat down on the sofa in the room. Meanwhile, Akane was preparing tea at the long table in front of him, and the girls also sat down on the sofa.
Milis sat next to Alvin. Renka sat in front of them, and the aroma of good tea wafted through the air. Not only tea, but also delicious-looking sweets were lined up, and the girls happily brought them to their mouths.
”Ah, this is delicious. I’m getting hungry right away, maybe because I’m pregnant…”
”Renka-chan too? Actually, I’m also… trying to be careful not to eat too much because I don’t want to gain weight…”
”It’s possible that having an appetite is a sign that morning sickness is starting. Hearing all sorts of things makes me anxious, like how the smell of food can be unbearable…”
”Yeah… let’s hope morning sickness isn’t too bad.”
For the two of them, pregnancy was an unknown territory, and they couldn’t help but feel anxious. However, being in the same situation as their close friends made their hearts feel lighter. Having someone to talk to about anything that happened was a great comfort.
Moreover, since the two were carrying Shinji’s children, they wouldn’t have to suffer from severe morning sickness or poor physical condition, as they were favored by the spirits.
”Let’s tell each other even the smallest things, okay? The maids are also watching over you, but you’re the ones who know your own bodies best, after all.”
”Yeah, okay, Al-kun.”
”Renka too, don’t hesitate to say anything! We’re all in this together!”
”Got it, thank you, Al.”
Originally, Renka, who served the Wolf family, wouldn’t have received the same treatment of the Wolf family’s maids. However, thanks to Alvin’s single word, Renka was treated the same as Milis.
For those who knew about their childhood friendship, it was already a given, and even the servants who had been with the Wolf family since its establishment didn’t resist. The Wolf family had become a very comfortable place for the two pregnant women to live.
”Akane, I’m counting on you too. Shinji and I often have to leave the mansion for work, so…”
”Leave it to me. As a maid and as a friend, I’ll do my best to ensure the safe delivery of the children. By the way, Shinji-san has also personally asked me to take care of them.”
”Shinji’s such a worrier, after all…”
”Hehe, that’s so like Shinji-san.”
Renka’s behavior, though troubled, was overflowing with joy, and Alvin and Akane couldn’t help but laugh at her antics. Meanwhile, Milis showed a calm reaction while thinking about something.
(Maybe I’ll have Shinji-san’s baby too… I won’t be able to hide it forever… I’m such a troubled person♡)
Shinji had hinted at using magic for contraception, and at the time, Milis had believed him. However, now there is no confirmation that the child growing up in the stomach is Alvin’s child.
There was no evidence, but her woman’s intuition and body were telling her that the child was Shinji’s. The intense, unforgettable experience they had in the treasury room was proof of that.
What if Shinji had found a way to deceive people about the child’s bloodline? Thinking about it, it made sense that he had been saying she would have his child.
When she reached that conclusion, her emotions became extremely complicated, but the strongest feeling was ‘joy’.
Even though she knew that if the truth came out, her life would be ruined, she couldn’t help but feel happy about having Shinji’s child. This feeling surpassed her guilt towards Alvin, whom she had grown up with.
Milis still loved Alvin unconditionally. She wanted to be with him as her partner, but she had fallen for Shinji’s charm, and her love had transformed into a different kind.
Her gentle love for Alvin, like familial love or friendship, and her passionate, self-centered love for Shinji. The scales had tipped in favor of Shinji, and that was the current state of Milis ―― the unfaithful wife of the Wolf household.
Hiding her true feelings, Milis joined the conversation about Shinji with the other three.
”Shinji-san, and Chris-san is running around everywhere right now…”
”That’s because it’s what the person wants. Shinji being the negotiator is a given, and we can understand Chris’s feelings pretty well.”
Negotiation skills ◯, conversation skills ◯, adaptability ◯ – that’s Shinji. As soon as he goes out on a job, Christina will surely take advantage of him. Whether it’s resolving local soil contamination issues or mediating organizational conflicts, he’s a highly skilled magic user who can handle even the toughest tasks with ease. It’s only natural that Christina wouldn’t let such a valuable asset go to waste.
Christina knows the behind-the-scenes story about Shinji being Jin Valencia, and she’s got his back, even if his family tries to intervene. That’s why he’s able to take on external jobs, but Alvin and the others don’t know that. Only Renka has a hunch that he’s able to take on external jobs because he’s resolved his family issues.
”Al, you’ve started relying on Shinji for all sorts of things, haven’t you? Don’t push him too hard, okay?”
”I know, I know. I’ll discuss it with Chris, don’t worry!”
”That’s still a bit worrying, though…”
”Haha, Milis-chan… Chris-san can be pretty strict, but I’ll keep an eye on things, so don’t worry, Renka-chan!”
”If Mil’s looking out for them too, then I’m relieved.”
”No way, Alvin! You’ll really be careful too!”
Renka laughs, jokingly saying “Really?” Alvin responds with a pitiful voice, saying “Believe me, okay?” Milis chuckles. The three of them, who haven’t changed since childhood, are having a great time.
Alvin, who knows nothing about the behind-the-scenes story, feels the happiest among them, thinking that if they have kids and Shinji joins their circle, they’ll be able to live even happier lives.
And then there’s Christina and their future kids, as well as Akane and Emily, who work at the mansion, and their families will grow too. It’s easy to imagine that their happiness will only increase.
If they all work together, Alvin believes from the bottom of his heart that they can overcome any difficulty that comes their way.
(I hope we can meet soon. Will my kid be a boy or a girl…? As long as they’re born healthy, that’s all that matters!)
Alvin, whose wife is pregnant, gently strokes her belly, unaware that the small life growing inside her is the child of Shinji, his lifelong friend.
And that’s the end of Volume 14.
