It was as if the corpse he had been harboring in his jail was manifesting.

“…”

Ian stood nonetheless for some time.

He remained there dazedly.

Maybe as a result of blow he obtained from Richard, his head spun.

All the pieces simply appeared blurry.

Was Sharon in entrance of him?

No less than she wasn’t chilly.

Her physique, warmed by blood, felt comforting.

— ……!

Far-off.

Folks have been speeding in direction of them.

Enemies?

Hmm.

At this level, it appeared inconceivable to face them.

“……”

His legs have been numb.

Ian blinked and opened his eyes.

After blinking for a second, Ian glanced down.

— Sshuk, sshak.

“The princess is cleansing up, so I’ve been preserving watch in her place.”

She bowed her head barely.

“I apologize. With everybody from the event lacking and the inflow of Bloodstone Cultists and assassins, it was deemed an awesome state of affairs.”

Come to consider it, her mission in the course of the event was to look the mansion.

Because of that, she managed to deal with the state of affairs with out being swept away by Richard’s stronghold.

“We requested pressing assist to depart the mansion… I had no concept such issues have been occurring. Being absorbed into Richard’s dantian.”

That was fairly a judgment. Even when she tried to confront Richard, the variety of casualties might need solely elevated by one.

“No. It was a superb choice.”

It appeared quite a lot of medical provides have been laid out round.

It appeared she requested reinforcements correctly.

“By the way in which. My head feels a bit fuzzy.”

His head nonetheless damage. The aftermath of Richard’s strike was not strange.

“W-well, on the time of discovery, it was fairly severe.”

“Severe?”

“Bodily injury because of affect, nervous system injury because of magic… Fortunately, there was a talented priest.”Reead new chapters at novelhall.com

It will have been actually dangerous if not dealt with nicely.

Now he understood why Karen was so apologetic.

Ian smiled warmly at her.

“You introduced a tremendous priest.”

“The princess introduced the palace’s priest.”

Was that an excessive amount of?

“Are you indignant?”

“No, I’m not indignant. Simply amazed.”

Amazed at what?

Yerina swallowed a sigh and tilted her head in direction of Ian.

“There’s a lot to do. You get again to your senses.”

The Pierce household should pay for what Richard Pierce did. Fixing issues afterwards won’t be a simple course of.

It was Yerina Pierce’s remaining homework.

“… And I’ve to have a toddler.”

“That have to be robust… Wait, what? You?”

Ian was shocked by the sudden proclamation of the Northern Grand Duchess.

“Didn’t you recognize? The place of head of the Pierce household passes to the strongest baby among the many lord’s offspring.”

“Effectively, I knew that.”

“But when I don’t bear a toddler, the lineage will probably be damaged. So, I need to give start.”

“Ah, however isn’t there… a bit extra romantic or one thing?”

“Do you assume there’s room for that within the North? I’ll quickly return to the borders, not realizing when my time will come. It’s greatest to provide start as quickly as attainable.”

“Ah.”

Noble titles like a duchess entail contemplating political elements as nicely. It have to be really exhausting.

Anyway, it’s unrelated to Ian himself.

Ian went together with Yerina’s phrases appropriately.

“I hope you’ll be able to meet the best sort you need, Yerina.”

“My excellent sort is the strongest particular person. To me, that’s romance.”

“Okay.”

“So, I’d prefer to obtain the seed of the strongest particular person, if attainable.”

Yerina grinned mischievously.

“No. However my excellent sort has modified just a little not too long ago. As a result of somebody was hitting on me.”

“…?”

“The one who would be the strongest received’t be dangerous both.”

Huh, why is she taking a look at me?

Past the bandages, Yerina’s thigh tightened as if angered.

“Come to consider it, Ian.”

“…Sure?”

“On the day we first met, I keep in mind you confessed to me.”

Ian’s eyes rolled.

He had clearly approached Yerina to egg her on, however ended up confessing to keep away from a disaster throughout their first encounter.

There’s no method she wouldn’t keep in mind that.

Yerina smirked unusually and took a step nearer.

“Effectively, that’s true.”

“You’re not going to inform me you confessed falsely, are you? For those who did, you’ll pay a hefty worth.”

“N-No! It’s simply…”

“Then you definitely’ll must pay for seducing me.”

Yerina shed the garment she had draped over herself.

Her physique, with superbly toned muscular tissues, was wholesome and… no, that’s not it!

“L-Lina and Danya are right here too!”

“They’re in mana exhaustion. They fell asleep after enduring, in order that they received’t wake simply.”

Thump. Thump.

Ian slowly backed away on the mattress.

– Thud.

Sadly, his again hit the wall.

There was no escape now.

Yerina’s face got here proper up shut.

“Ian.”

Her already crimson eyes have been burning with both ardour or depth, or one thing else completely.

‘Right here it comes, I’ll be eaten.’

Chilly sweat dripped down Ian’s brow.

At that second.

— Emergency! Affected person fever crucial! Speedy fluid loss detected! Emergency!…

An artifact positioned on the desk blared loudly.

Yerina grinned mischievously.

“The Third Princess appears to care fairly a bit about you. She even left this artifact behind. Her face was fairly a sight to behold too. I believe she has a number of issues she desires to say.”

Saying that, Yerina received up from the mattress.

“The North will all the time welcome you. For those who ever need assistance, simply let me know.”

The brand new Grand Duchess of the North left like that.

If he missed this place, he would come again when he was stronger.

Ian promised that.

In any other case, he feared he is likely to be devoured.
