Chapter 74: He only brings trouble
“Hey, stop that!”
“Kya-haha!”
It’s been over a year since Leon was born.
Now Leon toddles around on his own two feet, making it impossible to take your eyes off him.
Eva had always been the one to play with him during times like these, but…
“Nara, how is Eva feeling?”
Meyleen, who had just caught the wandering Leon, directed her question to Nara, who was in my house.
Why was Nara in my house, you ask?
“Well, she doesn’t look too great. Anyway, I’ll just take this fruit and head back now.”
“Alright. I’ve been through it myself, so please remind her not to push herself too hard.”
“Yes, thank you very much.”
With that, Nara took the fruit Mona had cut and carried it back home.
“Pregnancy is tough, huh…”
Yes, Eva is pregnant right now.
Ever since we brought Nara and Eva out of the Admos royal castle, the two of them had been living together.
After their house was completed, they moved in to live there, just the two of them.
Well, this outcome was just a matter of time.
And so, since Eva was having a rough day with her morning sickness, she couldn’t look after Leon today.
That meant I was in charge of Leon for the day, but…
“He’s getting more active by the day.”
When I said that, watching Leon settle down calmly in Meyleen’s arms, he gave me a blank stare. Meyleen chuckled and said:
“Well, of course. Didn’t Bennett say that children grow up in the blink of an eye?”
Now that she mentioned it, since learning about Eva’s pregnancy, we’ve been relying on Bennett, the midwife, again.
She’s practically become our family doctor at this point.
I’ll have to thank her again soon.
Just as I was thinking that—
“Hm?”
A large number of presences appeared outside the forest.
This…
“Is it the princess again? What does she want now?”
Judging by the amount of magic energy, the presences were from humans.
And since the guards at the forest entrance were still in place, they were people from Weimar.
If someone from Weimar was here and allowed through without issue, it could only be the princess.
The moment I realized that, a sense of gloom washed over me.
Whenever the princess shows up, it always means trouble.
Today, with Ivern staying in the town, I could see the guards running around in a panic, unsure how to contact him.
If they’re going through all that effort to get here, then this is definitely going to be a pain.
“Sigh… Looks like the princess is here again. I’ll go meet her.”
“Alright. Oh, make sure to tell Nara not to leave the house.”
“Right, Nara’s met the princess before, hasn’t he? Got it.”
Before heading to meet the princess and her entourage, I stopped by Nara’s house and knocked on the door.
“Coming! What’s up?”
Nara answered casually, opening the door without a hint of caution.
“You’re way too careless. Be a little more alert.”

“Huh? But the only people here are Maya and Ivern, right? What’s there to worry about?”
“The demons are suspicious of us right now. If a demon skilled in magic breaks through the barrier, it wouldn’t be surprising. Better safe than sorry.”
“Oh, right, that’s true. I’ll be careful. So, what’s up?”
“Oh, right. The princess from Weimar is coming here, so stay in the house and avoid being seen.”
When I said that, Nara’s face showed surprise.
“The princess is coming here personally? Doesn’t that mean Maya has Weimar under his control?”
“She doesn’t. They’re just acting submissive on their own. Besides, whenever the princess comes here, it’s always because of some trouble.”
“Really? So, what kind of trouble did she bring last time?”
“Last time… what was it again?”
Ah, right.
“She warned us that Admos had asked Lindor to summon people from another world. Told us to stay on guard.”
“…Sounds like they’re under her control to me.”
“If they were, they’d be helping us with our daily lives more. Right now, we’re not getting any aid from Weimar at all.”
“Oh, fair point. Well, I understand. Eva just managed to settle down and fall asleep, so I’ll stay by her side.”
“Good. I’m heading out now.”

“Got it!”
After warning Nara, I went to meet the princess and her group, who were lingering near the forest’s barrier.
“What’s this? Bringing along another big group again? What kind of trouble are you dragging in this time?”
When I appeared in front of the princess and her entourage and said that, they all visibly relaxed.
“Ah, Lord Maya, I’m so relieved to see you. We weren’t sure what to do since we heard Ivern hadn’t come out of the forest today.”
“…A surprise visit, huh? Feels like the level of trouble this time is way worse than last time.”
The last time, they had made an appointment with Ivern before coming to see me.
This time, there was no such courtesy.
Which meant this was an emergency serious enough to skip formalities.
“Fine, whatever. Let’s move to the house.”
With that, I began leading the princess and her group through the forest toward my house.
My tone was far from respectful for someone addressing the princess of a kingdom, but surprisingly, none of her companions seemed to take issue with it.
Looking closely, I realized they had brought the same group as last time.
They must be people familiar with my attitude.
They really don’t want to get on my bad side, do they?
Ad
This is making me feel even more uneasy.
That said, the more troublesome the matter, the more important it is to hear them out thoroughly to avoid complications later.
Suppressing my growing irritation, I made my way out of the forest.
As we walked, the princess suddenly fixed her gaze on a particular spot.
“…There’s a new house here.”
Ah, she’s looking at Nara’s house.
“What about it? Does it have anything to do with you?”
It doesn’t, does it?
“N-No! I wasn’t trying to pry or anything! Just an observation! Yes, just a simple observation!”
“Good. Then that’s fine.”
Alright, now she shouldn’t pay any more attention to Nara’s house.
Time to hear about this trouble the princess brought along.
I guided the princess and her group to the outdoor table set up in my yard.
“So? What kind of trouble is it this time?”
When I asked, the princess hesitated, clearly struggling to get the words out, before finally explaining.
“Actually, we’ve received a request from the Demon Nation. They want to conduct an investigation into your residential area, Lord Maya.”
…Ah, of course. It’s top-tier trouble this time.
