Episode 301 ― Right Now, Wrong Then (5)
Roan dreamed for a while while holding Elenir. It was a rarity for him.
Green fields submerged in the dark blue night stretched endlessly, and countless stars were shining in the night sky.
It was as beautiful as a painting.
Standing in the middle, Roan felt blissfully fulfilled.
‘Where is this place?’
In the vague dream, Roan thought faintly. The clearing was a bit late, but the Astor powder was working wonders. Some of the places where spring crops were planted were already sprouting.
After a little while, he will grow to a length that will cover his knees as you see.
“… !”
A small, mumbling sound came from somewhere.
Roan was startled and looked around.
In the middle of a golden field covered with tall grain, there was something hanging from a leg.
A warm, massive presence.
It reminded Roan of a familiar goddess.
The moment Roan lowered his head to confirm the unknown.
“… Ah.”
Roan opened his eyes.
“… Huhu, there are times when you fall asleep like this.”
Ernear said with a smile on her single single.
She got out of her arm pillow before she knew it and was lying on her side next to Roan, looking at Roan.
“Did I wake you up?”
“No.”
Roan shook his head.
The dream ended neatly there.
“The dream is over.”
“Ah.”
Roan, who raised his body a little and supported his back on a pillow, only then realized what Erenia was doing.
It was what Roan always did to his women at dawn.
“Why are you?”
“Hmm? I only receive it every time♡”
Erenia soaked a towel in the warm water that was still steaming in the basin and began to wipe Roan’s body.
It’s not a metaphor, it’s Eleanor, an aristocratic woman who literally wouldn’t have had to put a drop of water on her hands.
“I am happy to do it. I buy, buy… , Loving…”
For a moment, Erenier hesitated.
Roan was startled as he recalled several cases in the past where Elenir had fainted.
However, Erenia shook her body, caught her breath, and continued her words.
Roan let out a sigh of relief.
“… Because I can examine Roan’s body, which I love, in detail like this♡”
“Okay.”
The act of making someone’s body clean. At first, it was Roan’s small consideration, but the daily work has now become Roan’s routine.
The work of restoring the messed up body he made and restoring their bodies. In the process, Roan would find comfort together.
They said they would only find joy in themselves.
Seeing their happy and grateful faces when they opened their eyes with a slightly awake expression was the closest driving force to Roan.
Hearing the praise of the people was not an easy thing for an emperor to experience.
“Roan.”
“Hmm?”
Large breasts flowed down from Elenia’s body as she bent over to wipe Roan’s body. The wonderful curves created by those huge breasts, the pink hair that dangles precariously at the end.
What extends below it is a slender waist, and a silence followed that suddenly shows an explosive presence.
Roan, who was appreciating his wonderful body, was a little surprised by Elenia’s next words.
“Meet her other wives.”
“… What?”
Roan’s body, which was leaning loosely, tensed up and approached Erenia.
“Suddenly what?”
“Because Roan has never had an empress.”
Eleanor’s hand did not stop.
She carefully wiped Roan’s shoulders and chest. A blush appeared on Erenia’s face as she looked at her muscles that were hard and cracked like pieces.
Erenia sighed excitedly with a light smile and continued her words.
“It was difficult to get her other wife. So, Grünent floated up and became her concubine.”
Erenir’s hand moved to Roan’s ship.
Touching her cracked abs like chocolate, Erenia blushed her cheeks once again.
At this point, it became unknown whether Erenia offered her services to her Roan to satisfy her own selfish desires, or whether she really wanted to wipe her Roan’s body.
But Roan didn’t care much. First of all, his attention was focused on Elenir’s words. The things she said were words that she wouldn’t have been able to say just days before.
“But you can’t treat a human princess like that.”
And the current Eleanor is different from a few days ago.
“Are you planning to bring humans into the country properly?”
Eleanor is not an idiot.
Roan used her skill to read between the lines in her words.
She was a person who was strongly influenced by both ‘greed’ and the grand duke. Through her power of ‘her greed’, she has been working hard to secure the ‘Monopoly of Roanne’, which she wants as a priority, and her political power that the Grand Duke wants.
But now she is free from both influences.
The Eleanor now speaking in front of Roan is a different Eleanor as the empress.
Roan’s mouth opened slightly involuntarily.
It was admiration.
“Okay. Human productivity and fertility are different from those of demons.”
“If you leave them as slaves, won’t they cross the borders of Evirgio on their own?”
“There is such a thing. There must be a point that the religion of the Goddess I follow does not favor slaves.”
“Hmm.”
Eleanor, who made a small snort, seemed to be lost in thought for a moment. Her hand was still moving.
As a magician, Erenier was thinking about the characteristics and power of religion that humans have.
As a demon, even as a mage, she only knows a few lines of knowledge about the concept of religion.
The power of this religion, she heard, is very important to humans. Since Roan, the emperor, decided to use humans, she knew in her head that she had to understand their culture as well, but it was not easy to implement.
There was also a vague reluctance towards humans. Most of this was due to the influence of his father, the Grand Duke, and the rest must have been Roan’s rejection of human women.
And that feeling probably came from the devil.
After the artifact disappeared from Roan’s hands and he was sure that Roan had taken her as his wife, his hatred for those human women had vanished like a lie.
As if the evil feelings I had before were dreams.
“Anyway, if you think about it that way, it’s even more important to show off your relationship with Grünent.”
Of course, Roan didn’t know that.
However, the plan had a jaw.
Since Roan had never had an empress, it was inappropriate to invite his concubine first.
Moreover, allowing her to become a concubine was officially agreed upon by both the emperor and the empress.
Until now, it was not an atmosphere that allowed Elenia to bring in a concubine, and the Grand Duke, the father of Elenia, was a conservative who opposed humans.
No matter how empress she was, it was difficult to openly go against the direction of the Grand Duke of Darkness as long as she had her political power on her back.
“So, declare Grunent to be her concubine.”
When she, her human, becomes her concubine, the human standing in this country is decidedly different.
The relationship with Merde is different, and the relationship with Arteala is also different.
Merde becomes her wife’s country.
It is highly likely that Merde will not admit this, but if that happens, the legitimacy of the war, which is currently in a state of truce, will also be lowered.
The possibility of ending the war in vain increases.
“Not only Grünent, but others… It would be okay to accept Diobe or Lauca. It’s a different matter for an emperor to have many lovers and a lot of concubines.”
A lover is an emperor’s personal ability and a problem to be dealt with. But her concubine is different. It means that the emperor will carry the women on their backs.
You can’t expect much help from humans or forest fairies in Evirgio, but at least the friendly feelings of other races gained by officially recognizing them will not be small.
The reason why Erenia excluded Helen was because she also knew that Helen was a religious person.
In the land of humans, Helen was a saint.
In order to use her properly, it would be better for her to remain as her saint – even if Roan and the people around her knew her true face.
Roan opened his eyes for a moment.
Erennier’s words were surprising, and he was so grateful.
Roan smiled happily.
“I will follow your words.”
Eleanor was now wiping the area around Roan’s silence followed and thighs. Eleanor, seeing Roan’s silence, blushed for a moment, but she deliberately put on a casual expression and moved her hand again.
Roan’s lower body was quite a mess, smeared with his own juices and his own semen.
Erenier had no experience taking care of anyone.
She was taken aback for a moment, then Roan suddenly said as she watched Erenia wet her towel again.
“I hugged them.”
Erenia raised her eyes and looked at Roan.
Roan brought up another woman, but there was certainly no anger in her red eyes.
She was clearly aware that she was the empress.
“It’s because of my ability.”
“Ability?”
Eventually, Erenia’s hand stopped moving.
Roan spoke calmly.
The power he received from the goddess.
A technology that allows you to duplicate the abilities of women and objectively read the abilities that have become yours.
A ruin that can be used with divine power.
And about the goddess-sama’s magic that can be performed.
It was a story she hadn’t told anyone except for Fiora, who had enjoyed a miracle from the same source.
“The power of others… With your own… ?”
Eleanor, a mage and scholar, listened to Roan in amazement.
It is well known that each person has a special ability, and that sometimes it emits miracles so great that it looks like magic.
That he himself has such a special power.
The sooner you realize it, and the clearer the power is, the stronger that person is.
No one has yet objectified that power. And nobody knows how to deal with it.
But if the source is the power of God…
Maybe a little different
“Then for me…”
As a scholar, Erenier’s first question after hearing all of Roan’s story, which seemed enormous and a bit absurd, was as follows.
“What power did you get?”
It was an unexpected question.
She knew how to ask questions about how power works as a scholar, or how the power of the goddess works as a wizard.
Roan blinked for a moment, then replied with a light smile.
“‘Hope’.”
Erenia blankly looked at Roan.
“… Hope.”
She quietly followed Roan’s words and chanted.
I had an idea of what it might be.
But that it would have a name,
And she hadn’t even thought that the name would be ‘Hope’.
“… Hope was what I had.”
“Okay.”
Ernear was startled by the sudden transfer of her body temperature. Roan approached her and took her body into his arms.
A smile spread across Erenia’s face.
Roan buried her face in her shoulder.
“Thank you, Eleanor.”
Among many women, the empress should be the emperor’s most reliable companion. She couldn’t trust her like that, and even suffered through her death.
The relief that such a future would not come any more, and the trust given by his wife who understood him, were stronger than Roan could have imagined.
Roan saw hope in Elenir.
I’m sure this time will be different from last time.
That you will live a better life than last time.
Erennier gave such expectations to Roan.

And that hope was not limited to Roan.
