–Third Person POV–

「People like that tend to slack off quickly. That should give them a sense of responsibility.」

Nonna holds out her chest after a job well done.

「Splendid work, madam.」

「Wonderful, madam.」

The two female attendants…… the slender and serious Sally and the pet.i.te yet plump and gentle Maruru……praise their mistress, who becomes more and more arrogant.

「Nevertheless, the expenses are piling up. Since the war began, our pockets have been getting lighter. Adolph is also holding back my allowance for his reconstruction budget. He’s really taking advantage of Aegir-sama’s absence to do whatever he wants.」

As a habit, Nonna reaches for her shawl, but realizes that she wasn’t wearing one on her shoulder and opens her paper fan in embarra.s.sment. A few days prior, her shawl became dirty from regular use, however she didn’t have enough money to buy a replacement.

「Adolph-sama is using Aegir-sama’s trust as collateral to borrow additional funds for the reconstruction budget from merchants. For that reason, please try not to spend your allowance for now.」

Sally continues on.

「That man’s situation is none of my business! Oh, I know, I’ll ask Claire-san……」

「Madam, didn’t the master promise the prepayment to be 20 gold every month? We’re already nearing the limit for this month.」

「If you overspend, the master will be angry.」

Nonna puffs her cheeks and sulks.

「Aegir-sama originally said it was fine for me to use as much as I want, but Adolph had to ramble on. I mean, how can you put restrictions when I’m the legal wife!?」

「It’s because out of everybody in the family, the madam is the only one who spends all the money.」

「Madam, I believe the culprit was that dress set, which costed 300 gold.」

Nonna still wasn’t convinced, but her expression changed when rising smoke appeared in the corner of her eye.

「Isn’t that fire!? Is somebody trying to destroy my Rafen again!?」

「Madam, it’ll be fine, so please take walk slowly.」

「Your b.r.e.a.s.t.s are swaying so much that the citizens are looking. Wait!? Your clothing!!」

Nonna runs as fast as she could to check the origin of the fire, although she could only move as fast as a man’s brisk walk, allowing her two attendants to follow easily by jogging.

「Nonna-sama? I wonder what the big rush is.」

「They’re bouncing all over the place. Rumor has it that she stuffs her chest, but they’re real. I’m certain of it.」

「Hey, hey, if they jiggle any more ――ooh, they popped out!!」

「Look, I can see――!? Eh, her servant covered the tip barely in time! Dammit……how cruel.」

「Ah, Nonna……-sama…… welcome.」

The one waiting for Nonna at the site of the fire was Alice.

After the shy girl greeted her awkwardly, she raised both hands.

「……eei.」

A giant pillar of fire that didn’t match her soft vanis.h.i.+ng voice erupted.

The red flames lick the pile of dirt in front of her.

「Not quite…… enough…… eiya.」

The color of the fire released from Alice changes from red to yellow, then to a whitish color.

「Too much…… it melted. It’s hard to control……」

「What on earth are you doing? I thought there was fire because of all the black smoke.」

Nonna questions Alice as she struggles to adjust the intensity of her fire.

She quickly takes a few steps back because it was too hot.

「Making……bricks. They apparently require the use of stoves or furnaces……or so I hear. ……I’m not very knowledgeable.」

「Alice-sama is cooperating with the manufacturing of fireproof bricks at the request of Adolph-sama. He claims that the process which normally takes a long time can be completed in a few seconds with Alice-sama’s magic.」

Sally provides the explanation in place of the quiet Alice.

「……your help is appreciated. But why did that man not inform me? During Aeigr-sama’s absence, the one in charge of Rafen is me, the legal wife.」

Nonna once again complains about Adolph as she opens up her chest area.

While it wasn’t exactly scorching weather, it is obviously going to be hot when standing beside fire in the summer.

「If Alice-san is tired, please rest. Since you are one of Aegir-sama’s concubines, you do not have to take orders from that man.」

Alice smiled uncomfortably and shook her head.

「It’s okay…… I’ll do my best…… I like this……more than fighting, so…… done.」

Seeing her finish, two muscular workers carry a new batch of base materials.

Instead of leaving after their delivery, the men just remain beside Alice.

Their eyes were glued to her sweaty back and a.s.s.

They mentally molested her body and then were drawn into the large gap in Nonna’s chest.

「Geh, madam!」

「Uwah! No wonder they were so big!」

「You dare to direct those vulgar eyes at me as well!? I’m going to make up a story to tell Aegir-sama!」

The men instantly turn pale.

「Please forgive me! He’ll rip my d.i.c.k off!」

「My daughter is only 9 years old! If the feudal lord takes her as his woman, she’ll die!」

「Then you better work like your life depended on it. If you’re even a little bit lazy…… I’ll tell him that you groped my b.r.e.a.s.t.s.」

The workers run off at lightning speed.

「Let’s work at twice the speed!」

「Yeah, if we slow down, my wife and daughter will be impregnated!」

Nonna heaves a sigh.

「People treat you like that because of how defenseless you look. Getting sweaty to the point where your underwear can be seen and showing your skin clearly,.it’s immodest. Ara, there is something bulging from your b.u.m―― wait, you stuck something in there again!? Maruru, pull it out!」

「Yes, madam.」

Maruru reaches into Alice’s pants, grabs the handle of that thing and yanks it out.

<hr>

「Don’t, if you pull it out here…… Nnoohooo!」

Alice lets out a rather nasty cry and her face warps in pleasure as a soft leather d.i.l.d.o is dragged out.

It was an abnormally long and slimy thing.

「It’s thin but long……」

「It’s easily over 80 cm. Stuffing this in your b.u.t.t……no, I can’t believe this fit……」

Nonna holds her head in amazement.

「Where did you get something like this?」

「Aau, aau……I used one month’s allowance to commission a leather craftsman…… how mean of you to pull it all out in one go…… and also lovely…… aheeheh.」

「If you play with your a.s.s too much, it won’t ever close in the future! We’re moving on.」

Nonna turns her back on Alice who is happily shaking her b.u.t.t.

Sally covers Alice’s exposed and gaping a.s.shole with a handkerchief, while Maruru places a sheet of paper with the words “Feudal lord’s woman. Touch and you will be executed.” on top before leaving.

「Ah, it’s Nonna-san.」

「Ara ara, how rare.」

「Madam!? H-how do you do?」

The place Nonna visited next was where food was being distributed to people who were rebuilding a house.

Moving around busily there was Maria, Mel, and the owners of a small restaurant in Rafen, Leticia and Sharon.

「……I can understand Leticia-san, but I can’t say I approve of wives of the feudal lord serving food to the public.」

When Nonna expressed her harsh but honest opinion, Sally and Maruru bowed deeply to Maria and Mel.

「Now, now, we’re doing it because we like to. I’m happy when I see them enjoying the food.」

Maria grins as she drops roughly cut potatoes into a large boiling pot.

「That’s right. I don’t get many chances to cook in the mansion so I’m afraid my skills will dull.」

Mel comments as she slices up a pepper at an unexpectedly fast pace.

「You don’t need to cook. You’re a legal wife!」

Nonna yells at Maria, who shrinks back, and Mel.

Maria stares blankly at her while Mel giggles.

「Growing kids will be eating too, so I really want to add more meat. But we aren’t getting very much stock and the price is also becoming quite high, so I thought the food distributors would be in trouble…… the one positive is that we at least have vegetables.」

Maria’s face darkens.

「Eh? If you don’t have meat, you can let them eat fish――mmgh, what are you doing!?」

「My apologies, Madam.」

Maruru covers Nonna’s mouth right when she says something.

「According to Adolph, the harvest of the villages are not affected too greatly by the occupation and recapture. However, logistics have taken a big hit, meaning the supply of high-cla.s.s ingredients requiring rapid transportation, especially meat and fish, has drastically decreased. Claire-sama is working hard to restore the supply, and if the state of battle improves in our favor, it should recover soon……」

Nonna looked at Sally quizzically, but seemed to be satisfied with the explanation.

「Then you can put in lots of beans. We can give what we eat in the mansion to the citizens. Because Tristan laughed at all of the head chef’s tricks, we have plenty of excess. I love meat, but that’s not the case for beans.」

「I will arrange for it immediately to be a charity gift from the madam.」

Sally complies with the request as Nonna sighs while watching Maria and the others hand out hearty soups to children and elderly.

「Well, try not to push yourselves. That goes for Leticia-san and the younger sister too.」

「Actually, Sharon is a younger b――」

Nonna, who was facing the other way, quickly turns around and grabs Sharon’s face.

「Younger brother? Did you say younger brother!?」

「N-no……that was a mistake.」

Leticia averts her eyes, but Nonna, confident in her hearing ability, doesn’t calm down.

「I have a thorough grasp of almost all of Aegir-sama’s lovers! If you…… are trying to steer Aegir-sama in a strange direction……」

Holding onto Sharon’s head, Nonna threatens him and then walks away.

「Are you alright, Sharon? Sorry, your sister misspoke……」

「Yes, I’m fine. More importantly, Nonna-sama’s b.o.o.bs rubbed against my face, yet I didn’t feel anything at all…… I knew that the feudal lord-sama was the correct choice…… sis, I’ve decided. I’m going to take him!」

「……the tasty hot pot is almost ready~」

「……let’s include lots of the beans Nonna-san gave us.」

「Madam, please calm down.」

「How can I stay quiet about this!? Aegir-sama already doesn’t discriminate between older and younger girls. I don’t know what I’ll do if he lays hands on people of that side!」

Nonna breathes heavily as she boards an escorted carriage to the city walls.

She is going to visit the settlements surrounding Rafen.

「What are you huffing about? Are you in heat?」

The moment she pa.s.sed under the simple castle gates, defiant words were hurled at her from above.

A wave of anger washed over Nonna immediately, accompanied by a slight amount of joy, as she burst out of the carriage.

「Like a pervert who is in heat all year round can speak!」

The person on top of the gates was Carla.

She was standing on the highest part of the narrow gate currently being repaired, wearing her usual half-sleeved skirt.

「Carla-sama, we’ve finished with the stone work here. How does it look?」

The laborers working on the city wall repairs walk along an unstable footing to her.

Carla closes one eye and inspects the wall.

「It’s not good at all, look how slanted it is. You’ve been doing this for 25 years and don’t even know how to stack stones properly? Redo it!」

Carla steps on the laborers face.

His shoulders slump in disappointment, but doesn’t show any anger or hate against the humiliating act.

「She scolded you chumps after all! Measure things more accurately!」

「No boss, you said we’d have to redo it because we’re also slanted. You knew that and told us to go get stepped on anyways.」

「Boss…… yelling at us when you have a bulge in your pants doesn’t w―― opletely visible. Even if you’re doing so unintentionally or feel embarra.s.sed, as Aegir-sama’s wife, you should not be showing your underwear to workers!」

「It’s not like I’m letting them touch me, what’s the big deal with letting them peek under my skirt? Who cares?」

「I don’t claim to know your s.e.xual fetishes, but this issue has to do with the Hardlett household! An obscene and perverted woman is unfit to be a part of it!」

「What are you talking about when you have two obscene lumps hanging on your chest!? And you have two nipples as black as the bottom of a shoe!」

Nonna, enraged, pounces on Carla, though their arguing doesn’t stop.

「Who did you say is black!? I applied the stain remover Natia-san gave me every day, so it’s now a pretty pink color! Take a look at the nipples that Aegir-sama has told me are cute!」

「You’re going to expose your b.r.e.a.s.t.s in public? Who’s the pervert here!!?」

As Nonna loses her cool and unleashes her chest, Sally spreads her arms to block the men’s line of sight.

「Carla’s the one who is over thirty and whose special place is all black!」

「W-what? It’s not black at all! It was trained by Aegir and just developed a little color! It isn’t very different from yours. Let me see!」

「No, stop it you pervert! I’m being raped, Aegir-sama!!」

Maruru calls over the wagon to hide the scene and places a sign with the words “if you look, I’ll tell the feudal lord”, which instantly scatters the onlookers.

「Nonna-sama, she has pink nipples, huh?」

「Those giant t.i.ts and such cute nipples…… that’s so hot. Oh, I better be careful what I say or my family will be impregnated.」

「d.a.m.n virgin, the supreme one here is Carla-sama with her darkened p.u.s.s.y. How nice would it be to get her to p.i.s.s on me?」

「Boss……I’ve worked for you for 10 years and didn’t know you had such fetishes.」

Nonna and Carla fought a little longer, having forgotten themselves, but gradually calmed down, fixed their clothes and separated.

「Fuu……whatever. I’m going to inspect the suburbs. Try your best not to fall from the wall.」

「Haa, haa……do whatever you want. Just be back in the evening. It’s not entirely safe yet.」

Nonna returns to the carriage, while Carla climbs back on top of the wall.

「Ah, I just remembered. You over there, come here.」

「Eh? Me?」

Nonna calls a worker who is carrying wood to come closer to the carriage.

「This is a fee for Carla’s stupidity of course. Also, tell me if she cheats because I’ll spank her a.s.s until it’s swollen.」

「Hey, didn’t you realize?」

The worker wipes his dirtied face with a towel.

「Ah, Mireille-san.」

「Hey.」

After Nonna was greeted by Mireille, she handed over the money silently and motioned for the carriage to depart, maintaining eye contact.
