Chapter 376 – Last Memories in This Wonderful City (1)
Whoa–!
A blizzard was blowing so hard that it could be swept away.
“Lucia. Be patient a little longer. We are almost there now.”
At first, they came by carriage, but from a certain point on, it was impossible to go by carriage, so Lucia and the two of them proceeded cautiously.
“No. I’m OK. More than that, master said, are you okay with wearing that thin?”
Unlike Lucia, who wrapped her whole body tightly like a snowman, I’m only wearing a cloak…

Aside from being blinded by the blessing of the World Tree, I didn’t feel much discomfort in this blizzard.
“Yes I’m fine. But if you miss it once, it will be hard to find, so don’t leave my side.”
“Hehe… Yes, Master. I’ll stick by your side.”
After walking for a few more hours, the walls of Calliope began to come into view.
“Stop for a moment!”
As we approached the gate, a soldier pointed a bow at the top of the castle wall and shouted.
“Who are you! Reveal your identity!”
When asked to reveal his identity, I silently took off my cloak.
“Hmm…? Ah…!..That face…!…Ho…Are you Master Eugene by any chance?”
“You’re right. I am Eugene Calliope, son of Eddard Calliope.”
“Sir… Excuse me. I will open the door now! What are you doing! Hurry up and open the door!”
There was nothing to be said as rude.
Their mission was to protect the walls, and they did their job properly.
“Please forgive my rudeness. Since I didn’t hear from Master Eugene that he was coming…”
“No. It is only reassuring to have such thorough protection of the walls.”
“Thank you for saying that. Ah, I sent a message to the family head that Master Eugene has returned, so please wait here for a moment.”
After spending some time in the parlor following the guidance of the person in charge, Erden appeared.
“Eugene!”
“My lord.”
Erden hugged me and patted her on the shoulder.
“Didn’t I tell you to call me big brother in private?”
“All right. Older brother.”
“Yeah, welcome. But what happens without contact?”
“I sent a call…But it seems that it didn’t arrive because of the snowstorm.”
Northern winters are famous for their ferocity, but this was severe.
Since it was just me and Lucia, we arrived safely at Calliope… If we were stubborn, we would have frozen to death in the middle of the street.
“Yes… Since Mother and Reika went down, a snowstorm has started, but it hasn’t stopped yet. Even if you try to light a beacon, the weather… Ah, excuse me in front of guests. As the head of Calliope, I will sincerely welcome the visit of the owner of Urella.”
“Thank you. But now I am not the head of Urella…”
Tight-
Lucia crossed her arms around mine and bowed her head toward Erden.
“I came here as the mistress of Eugene Calliope. So, I would be grateful if her father could call her Lucia as well.”
“…Don’t let that happen. So, Lucia. You’ll be tired from the blizzard, so prepare a room…”
Erden paused for a moment and said with a small smile.
“No, there is no need to prepare separately.”
“…”
I never thought that Erden, who had driven his sister-in-law crazy by crying about her virginity before marriage, would say something like this.
To be honest, she was a bit surprised that people change after marriage.
Then, after checking my expression, Erden awkwardly scratched my cheek.
“Ah, but didn’t you share the same room?”
“No. One is enough. Very old man Thank you for your consideration.”
Erden, who burst into laughter at Lucia’s prompt reply, nodded her head.
“Yeah, the meal is on the other side too…”
Awesome ─
“Erden…I’m working again…Go back to bed…Oh my?…Who is this? There was the young master and Miss Lucia.”
Just then, the parlor door opened and Rose Calliope entered, wearing a nightgown close to her underwear.
“Rose! How many times have I told you not to walk around like that!”
“…Hmm…But… Northern clothes are too thick for me…? It suits me well… Hehe, what do you think, young boy?”
‘Imperial Moon‘, Even if it’s not up to Lucia’s appearance, ‘Desert FlowerIt’s called Rose.
The clothes fit me very well… But I couldn’t bear to say that to my sister-in-law.
“…”
“It is not a matter of matching or not! …Sorry. Eugene. It seems that Rose can’t adapt to the outfit.”
“It’s okay.”
My sister-in-law’s important parts seemed to be invisible, but in the end, I couldn’t see it!
If so, that’s acceptable!
“Hmm, even though the young master is fine, Miss Lucia doesn’t seem to be okay?”
“No. Rose. It’s okay.”
“Whoops. Feel free to call her sister instead of Rose. By the way, Miss Lucia… Shall we talk to each other for a while?”
“A story?”
“Yeah, I want to pay back for the potion I received last time.”
If it was a potion, it seemed to be referring to the estrous drug Lucia gave during the coronation ceremony.
“…I didn’t deliver that in hopes of a return…”
“Ah, then I feel uncomfortable. Thanks to her, she knows how beastly Erden is… And her sister wants to teach her a little about men.”
Rose, who speaks directly, probably because she is from the South.
“…Teach me?”
“Yeah, a little bit of Amelia’s housekeeping liquor…Fufufu.”
At those words, Lucia’s face showed a faint sense of ridicule.
She had no choice but to be honest, even if it was her Chinese medicine, how much would she know if Rose, who had been her virgin until recently, knew.
“…Yes it is. Sister.”
“Whoops. I get a chance to talk to ‘Imperial Moon’ again… I’m lucky today.”
“Me too. I wanted to talk with ‘Desert Flower’ again someday.
When Rose and Lucia went outside, I said with a smile.
“Since you got married, you have changed a lot. I should say that I feel a little more relaxed.”
Until now, whenever I met Erden, she felt like I was seeing a knife made of ice, but now it felt like I was inside her scabbard.
“…You feel it too. Yes, since I got to know the female body at a later age, my father understands me… It’s not easy to restrain myself.”
“…”
Erden, and Cale, and so on…
As expected, Eddard’s blood didn’t seem to go anywhere.
“Still, don’t get too caught up in women’s colors.”
As the only sane person in the family, I think I need to come to my senses.
“I’m working hard, but I keep thinking… Ha, what are you talking about in front of your younger brother? So Eugene, have you met Cale?”
“No. I’ve been looking for you since my older brother…”
“Yes, Cale is probably at the training ground. He’ll contact you when it’s over, so go to your room and rest.”
This time she was a little surprised to hear that Cale was training, but she shook her head.
“No. It’s polite for me to go and say hello to my brother. I will go.”
“…You’ve changed too.”
Seeing my attitude towards Cale, Erden smiled softly.
“…Yes, because time has passed.”
When she first arrived at the Calliope family, everyone felt that she was an enemy because she was only concerned with her survival.
But now it’s different.
He considers Garcia and Reika as well as Cale as family.
“Then… Brother.”
“Okay, go see Cale. She doesn’t have to come back. You must have been tired from coming, but let’s get rid of the travel in your room today and talk to you later.”
“Yes, I will.”
After briefly saying hello to Erden, I arrived at the training ground while tracing my memory.
“Whoa…! Whoop!”
Cale is exhaling heavily at the training ground and vigorously swinging his sword.
“Brother Cale.”
“…Who is it?…Eugene? Why are you here?”
“I came here because I have something to investigate.”
Hearing that, Cale frowned and I approached him.
“Investigation?… No, it doesn’t matter. I had something to say to you. That’s great.”
“…”
I sighed as I saw Cale approaching in stride.
Seeing him wield the sword, he seemed to have gained some strength, but…
‘…Are you going to brag about your strength just because you’ve gained that much strength?’
The moment I heard a slight disappointment, Cale, who had come close to my eyes, shouted in a loud voice.
“When the hell are you going to hold the wedding!”
“Ah…”
“Ah? Did you just say ‘Ah!’! You bastard! You completely forgot about my wedding!”
“…That…Sorry…I’m a bit busy…I’ll prepare it as soon as possible.”
This was 100% my fault with no excuses.
I was in a hurry to break Cale’s death flag, so I didn’t even think about the aftermath.
“Ha ha… Tsk, yes. I wish I knew by now. Please, as quickly as possible.”
I opened my eyes wide to see Cale’s unexpected coolness.
“Hyung-nim… You might say this, but… You don’t seem to be doing anything wrong.”
“Yes? What do you mean?”
“Honestly, I thought I would do that even if my brother had a grudge against me…”
“Ha, this is funny.”
Pooh-
Cale, who was going to stick her sword into the floor, looked at me and said.
“Yes, to be honest, I was resentful at first. But after losing my mother and Reika, I saw myself unable to do anything. I realized then How long have I been living with my asshole? It’s not a very good memory… Well, if it wasn’t for you, I’d have lived like a dumbass for the rest of my life and died like a dumbass.”
“Aren’t you resentful of your mother and Reika?”
“You… Are you saying that right now in front of me?”
Now that I think about it, am I not saying to Cale, ‘Your mother and younger sister are amazing’?
“Well… Not sir… Let me tell you that Cianna taught me that her love is great. She deserves any kind of love. Oh, I warn you, never covet my Shiina. This is sincere. If you touch even one of her fingertips…”
“…Not like that.”
I’m not the kind of guy who thinks of fucking a girl whenever I see him, would I touch her brother’s girl?
“Can you swear?”
“…I swear.”
“Okay… Then. Done. Go.”
“What about your brother?”
“I’m going to finish the quota I couldn’t finish because you interrupted.”
I bowed down with a little respect as I saw Cale swinging his sword again after his words.
As I was walking down the hallway thinking about the changed appearance of my family, I saw Lucia pacing in front of my door.
“Lucia?”
“Ah…Master…”
Lucia’s face is red.
It’s also the redness when you’re sexually aroused.
What on earth did Rose teach her to make such a face?
“..That…Master…This…Look at this. My sister Rose gave it to me as a gift for her.”
“…This?”
What Lucia took out was similar to the pajamas Rose was wearing, but with a much smaller area than that.
In fact, it can be said that there is no hidden part.
“Master. From now on…”
Lucia whispered softly as she unfolded her clothes and placed them on her chest.
“…Would you like to test what I learned today?”
