Chapter 173 – GOOD WOMEN THAT CELEBRATE EACH OTHER’S HAPPINESS (2/2)
And the way she won’t jump into my embrace is really how the modest Helene really is.
「Good for you, Helene」
「Yes」
The two women looked looked at each other with smiles and nodded.
I thought that I should buy something for Rica who congratulated Helene and continued walking around the town.
I stopped again.
I did not found something, I heard it.
I caught interesting words in an exchange which was better described as a chat.
「What is really happening in this Kingdom. A Baron revolted, killed the Crown Prince, and kidnapped the Princess. That’s unheard of」
「Since the King collapsed due to his sickness, nothing good has happened」
「What, don’t worry. They say that disasters have the potential to turn into an advantage. The Three Lords Regency will start with that as a trigger. The Lord Dukes will make this kingdom better」
「I just hope so……」
There are three old men who were drinking alcohol in a stall although it’s still in the afternoon.
Listening to their conversation, it looks like rumors about what happened at that day had already spread.
And it looks like it became a story, saying that I revolted, killed Kimon, and killed Selene.
「They dare」
「This unforgivable, to think that they blamed everything on Kakeru-sama」
The two women who followed me and stopped, understanding the situation, and listened to them got angry.
Helene silently showed anger and Rica displayed her emotions clearly.
「I’ll cooperate with Iris and put pressure on the diplomatic route」
「I’ll something too. There are several agreements reaching their deadlines, so I’ll focus on that」
The two of them nodded to each other.
It looks like lots of things were decided in that instant.
「Stop it, the two of you」
「But」
「If this continues, they would make everything Kakeru’s fault」
「It’s something that I really did after all. Both killing Kimon and kidnapping Selene」
「But, there are circumstances」
「Just let them say what they want. No, rather, the two of you should support the Three Lords Regency diplomatically. You can do something about strengthening their legitimacy right?」
「That is……」
「We can, but……」
The two of them looked at each other.
Their faces were like “It’s possible, but why?”.
However, that was only for an instant.
When I was about to explain it to them, they already understood.
「For Selene’s sake」
「Kakeru-sama does not only plan to educate her, but also prepare a hurdle later on」
That’s right.
I mean, the two of them are too good at guessing.
As I’ve thought, they’re good women, both Rica and Helene.
And Rica, however, she pursed her lips, making a sulking face.
「What’s the matter?」
「Because, a hurdle wasn’t prepared for me during my time」
「What, is it about that?」
「It’s not just “that”, even Iーー」
「Rica was a good woman from the start, so it wasn’t needed」
「ーーwanted Kakeru’s trial……eh?」
Rica became dumbfounded.
Rica was wise from the beginning.
Her talents and wisdom were unable to be concealed although she was treated like a puppet and was a bird in a cageーーso it overflowed when she was released.
There was no need to prepare a hurdle at all.
Instead, removing her shackles was already good enough.
「I’m, from the start?」
「Yeah, you were a good woman from the start」
「Uwaaa〜, what should I do〜. I didn’t think Kakeru would say something like that, what should I do〜」
Rica became fidgety.
As I’ve thought, her emotional expressions are getting richer, and I can’t get tired seeing them.
「Good for you, Rica. Receiving such words. It was great coming to today right?」
「Un!」
The two women once again stared at each other with smiles and nodded.
The two of them celebrated each other. The two of them looked unbelievably good women after all.
So much that it was enough to turn me on.
I gently pulled the two of them to an embrace.
They understood with just that.
Helene buried her face to my chest and Rica closed her eyes and pouted her lips.
I gave each of them a kiss then made love to them after bringing them to a nearby inn.
