Chapter 174: My Wife is Cute and Brave
After finishing a regular meeting, Rest returned to one of the cottages.
Previously, he had been staying in a tent, but after a month since the pioneering began, he was assigned one of the constructed cottages, which became his new base.
“I’m home.”
“Oh, welcome back, Rest-sama.”
Waiting for Rest as he stepped through the door was a girl in a white apron. She was Primula Rosemary, Rest’s fiancée.
With a knife in hand, Primula was in the middle of preparing dinner.
“Dinner will be ready soon.”
“Ah, I’m sorry for always bothering you.”
“No, no, it’s my job. It’s no trouble at all.”
Since the pioneering began, Primula has been a permanent resident of this place. Her sister Viola was with her as well.
Although Rest couldn’t help but wonder about the daughter of a marquis working in such a way… of course, a magician from the Marquis family was waiting in an unseen location acting as a bodyguard.
“Where’s Viola? Is she in her room?”
“No… my sister went out with Yuri-san. It seems a new peddler has arrived, so she’s gone shopping.”
“I see, so you didn’t have to go?”
“Yes, I held back since I had dinner to make.
What a good wife she is.
Rest thought once again that he was blessed with a woman who was far too good for him.
—
Recently, cooking had completely become Primula’s responsibility.
While Viola and Yuri would help sometimes, at least Yuri wasn’t allowed to stand alone in the kitchen.
“Dinner will be ready soon… Would you like to have some tea while you wait?”
“Oh, sorry about that.”
“No, please wait just a moment.”
Primula glanced briefly at the pot that was bubbling and then prepared the tea.
Rest sat down in a chair at the dining table and took a sip of the warm black tea.
“Hmm…”
He felt the pleasant bitterness mixed with a hint of sweetness.
It seemed a spoonful of milk and a teaspoon of sugar had been added to the tea.
The flavor was just to his liking. The comforting taste seemed to wash away the tension from the meeting.
“How was today’s meeting?”
“There wasn’t much to say… I think we’re just about done with the initial stages of the development?”
As he recalled the meeting, he answered Primula’s question somewhat absentmindedly.
The most difficult aspect of exploring the monster realm was the extermination of monsters.
However, the master of the monster realm, Sabnock, had already been defeated, and the majority of his minion monsters, the Corroding Beasts, had also been taken care of.
It seemed that other groups were also hunting monsters smoothly and there were no significant obstacles.
“At this rate… it looks like the supplies and recruiting personnel, the behind-the-scenes work will be the tougher tasks. I think I’ll have it easy for a while.”
“That’s good to hear. I’ve received news from Father… It seems the development in the northern plains is going well too?”
The northern plains were scheduled to become part of Rest’s territory… the territory of the Count Clover family.
The development of that area was being led by the Rosemary Marquis family, with the adjacent Catreya Marquis family providing support.
Even though it would become Rest’s territory, he was son-in-law to the Rosemary Marquis family.
In effect, it was like the territory of the Rosemary Marquis family was expanding.
They were set to pay a sufficient fee to the Catreya Marquis family, and it didn’t seem like there would be any particular problems on that front.
“… Well, it seems the Marquis Catreya has been asking a lot of questions about Yuri, and Father has been complaining about it.”
—
“Hahaha… Well, it sounds like my father-in-law is having a tough time…”
It was no surprise that Yuri’s stay with Marquis Rosemary and her participation in the pioneering efforts with Rest had been discovered. Marquis of Catreya seemed eager to bring her back, but Yuri had been entrusted with surveying the plain’s central region alongside Rest and forcibly recalling her would likely be a sabotage to the development.
Such an action would be disrespectful not only to Prince Andrew, the second prince but also to the king who had ordered the development.
No matter how much Marquis of Catreya doted on his daughter, it seemed he could not go that far.
(Could it be…? Was Prince Andrew aiming for this when he assigned Yuri to me?)
It might have been overthinking, but Andrew could have had his own intentions.
“I’m back!”
“Is dinner ready yet?”
As Rest was lost in thought, Viola and Yuri appeared at the entrance each carrying a tightly packed burlap sack.
“Oh, Rest, You’re already back?”
“Yeah, welcome back… huh?”
As Rest greeted them, he noticed another person standing behind the two.
“Sorry to come so late, Count Clover.”
“Celestine-sama?”
The person who appeared was Celestine Crocus, the daughter of the prime minister and a lady of the duke family.
