185 Hey, I’m scared too
After receiving the dragon’s yeouiju, Lilitha’s morning sickness disappeared in an instant, as if it were a lie.
My appetite returned and the drowsiness was gone. I sleep more, but I digest well no matter what I eat. After eating, sleeping, and waking up, he said he was hungry again.
In just two days, Rilisha was back to her old self.
Lilitha seemed to think that her childhood memories were the cause, but the fact that she could only eat when she smelled Rudy’s was simply because of her magical powers.
Knowing that fact, it was funny that Rilisha was disappointed.
And it wasn’t until then that Rudy realized that Lilitha had vomited up everything she had eaten while he was gone.
The baroness seemed vaguely aware that something was strange.
Morning sickness is not uncommon, and severe women often cannot eat much food, but she seems to have thought that it was not normal to vomit everything without a husband.
However, since a major naval battle was ahead, he thought he would wait a little longer.
“It’s my negligence. Looking at Mama now, I can definitely tell that it was strange back then, but I made a mistake.”
At a quiet time, the baroness who came to the office lowered her head and asked for punishment.
But who could have known.
It had only happened once in a distant past that even dragons could barely remember. Even in countries other than the Empire.
If someone is truly guilty, Rudy himself, who has too much magical power, must have done the most wrong.
Rudy said bitterly after getting the baroness up.
“It’s something I didn’t notice even when I saw the empress getting thinner day by day. It’s not your fault.”
Rudy looked at the chamberlain.
“Record everything that happened to the empress’s body.”
In the distant future, someone might be born again with too much magical power. If there is a record at that time, it will definitely help.
I don’t know if he’ll be able to get the dragon’s yeouiju, but at least knowing the cause is helpful.
“I understand, Your Majesty.”
Seeing the chief chamberlain’s reply, Rudy let out a small breath.
Even after making up her mind to go out to sea and fight, Lilitha’s work continued to hang in her mind.
Even if you didn’t know that you threw up when you weren’t there, the amount of food you ate in front of your eyes was too small.
It was clear that his body would deteriorate if he continued to do so.
‘Whoops.’
A smile broke out involuntarily.
The dragon made a deal on the condition that it would only monitor and stop Jumbo.
But in the end, he is doing everything Jumbo has to do. I remembered the number and location of the ship, and when Ririsha was pregnant, I even gave Yeouiju so that it would not be dangerous.
I found out later, but Yeouiju said that she removed a part of the dragon’s body and added magic to it.
The bodies of the dragon and jumbo were made with mana stone powder using spells. It is made of a small amount of magic stone powder. Giving it to others would not be easy, even in small amounts.
Moreover, the creation itself cannot be done by ordinary demonic creatures.
In order to make Yeouiju that humans can absorb, not only magic power and spells written by Rudy are required, but also the body of a demonic creature that has adapted to this world for a long time. In this world, only dragons were possible.
‘As expected, the dragon also thinks that I am the owner in its heart.’
It seems he’s just sad that Rudy doesn’t remember him. Maybe he looks decent and smart on the outside, but his actual mental age is no different from Jumbo’s.
Suddenly, the sun outside the window is losing its brightness. The hot heat pouring in from the window was still there, but the inside of the office was cool thanks to the magic tools that emitted cold air.
“Let’s go to the empress.”
Rudy got up.
It was still too early to finish the work.
But tomorrow is finally the departure. I wanted to spend a little more time with Rilitha.
The officials in the office saw Rudy off without taking their work off their hands.
Since they are heading to the empress’ palace, Levin and the young attendants remain in the office.
The hallways of the imperial palace, led by the chief chamberlain and several elderly attendants, seemed a bit lonely for some reason.
While Jumbo fixes the broken spear, Lilitha stays in another room in the empress’ palace. As this has happened frequently lately, the spare room was prepared to some extent.
When Rudy entered the room, the ladies-in-waiting quietly bowed.
Rilisha was sleeping on the sofa, lying sideways.
“Stop. Don’t wake me up.”
Tyra stopped trying to wake Lilitha, and Rudy quietly approached the sofa. I picked up Rilisha while being careful not to wake her up, and she bent over and came close to me.
“I will wait on the empress for the rest. Let us be alone today.”
At Rudy’s words, the baroness lowered her head, and the attendant and maid all withdrew.
Lilitha woke up just before the morning sun rose. When I looked down, he was pulling something out from under his clothes.
“Lilitha, what are you doing?”
“Lu, I made an amulet. They say that if you wear this, you will never fall into the sea.”
What Rilisha held out was a small pouch as long as a finger. It gave off a sweet floral scent.
“There’s something carved from a whalebone inside. This pouch is scented with perfumed oil that I made. It will protect Lou.”
“thank you.”
“I’ll walk you.”
After putting the pouch made of necklace around Rudy’s neck, Lilitha held his hand. Put your lips on your fingers and speak.
“Please return safely to me and the baby.”
“Yes. Don’t worry and wait, Lilitha.”
Lilitha smiled brightly in the dark.
“I know Lou is invincible. I’m not worried at all.”
However, Rilisha’s voice trembled a little when she said that.
Rudy pulled Lilitha into his arms and hugged her tightly.
‘are you okay. Even if all the ships are shipwrecked and fall into the open sea, there is no need to worry, as I will make a way back by evaporating all the sea water using magic. It will definitely come back to you.’
Whispering that, Rilisha smiled lightly.
However, as long as a meteorite does not fall into this world, there is no possibility that Rudy himself will be in danger.
Rudy whispered softly into Lilitha’s ear as she fell asleep again.
“I’ll be back soon.”
It doesn’t take long. It’s coming soon. Naval battles are different from land battles, so it doesn’t take much time to get to your destination.
Until the sun rose, Rudy quietly held Lilitha.
In the morning, Rudy left the imperial palace and headed for the northern port.
***
It was spectacular to see the large ships moored in the harbor.
A total of 41 ships were mobilized this year.
Three of them were large sailboats that could travel to distant continents without difficulty, but the others were older in size and performance.
There was also a reason why the chief chamberlain and the naval commander were anxious.
The enemy on the other side is a new type of warship that everyone has never heard of. In addition, they were armed with cannons they had never heard of before. Well, it would be unreasonable to not be anxious.
At least, 5 of the old ships were the latest models of the time until the 3 new ones were created, so they are a little better. It’s okay, but it’s acorn height measurement.
I was about to get off the horse and climb into the boat, but suddenly a great cheer rang out. The whole port seems to fall apart.
When the soldiers raised their heads towards the cheering place, a dragon and a jumbo were flying in from the distant sky.
The commander next to him muttered in admiration.
“It’s much bigger than when I saw it in the imperial palace.”
“Oh, I asked you to do that.”
A smirk appeared on Rudy’s face.
Jumbo can’t change his appearance, but dragons can be slightly resized. Not a lot, but a little could make it bigger or smaller. This time, at Rudy’s request, he inflated his body.
Belief in spirits is widespread, but it is especially important to sailors.
According to the commander, there are many sailors and sailors who believe that the spirits of the earth guide those who have fallen into the sea to the surface.
The spirit of the earth guides people who are in danger from a shipwreck to an island or land, and even if their lives are lost, they pick up the spirits that are being dragged into the sea and lead them to their families on earth.
If you have such a belief, it would be a fool not to use it.
It’s like lying to the soldiers’ morale, but it can’t be helped. If you shrink before you even meet the enemy, you lose the war you could win.
Rudy climbed onto the boat watching the cheering soldiers.
The anchor was raised, and the ropes tied to the pier were undone. The sails are inflated tautly. Sailors adjusting the sails on top of the mast looked like monkeys.
When the commander gave the order to depart, the ship slowly began to leave the port.

Dragon and Jumbo, as they had said before, circled the sky and slowly flew towards the sea.
At first, small islands were visible everywhere, but the ship soon reached the open sea with nothing in all directions.
Looking at this side and the other side, there is only blue sea water.
Levin, who was standing next to Rudy, said while looking at the distant horizon.
“Your Majesty, it’s a bit different from just getting on a boat to test weapons. Somehow, being in the middle of the sea feels scary.”
“…”
“What happens if you suddenly have a hole in your stomach?”
“Levin, don’t raise the flag.”
“yes?”
I guess I didn’t know what the flag meant. Levin tilted his head.
Rudy quietly looked at the sea and muttered to himself.
hey i’m scared too
*
Whether riding in a wagon or on horseback, I never got motion sickness. The same is true when living on Earth. I lived without knowing motion sickness.
But with the ship, things were completely different. Within hours of being on the boat, Levin and Rudy became acutely aware of how painful it was to be unsteady on their feet.
A ship never sits still for a moment. From the outside, it doesn’t look like it’s shaking much, but when you’re inside, the entire boat is constantly rocking.

During the day, as well as at night. I couldn’t sleep. He kept holding on to the small wooden barrel and vomited, leaving a sour smell in his mouth all day long.
‘Lilisha, it must have been very difficult.’
It is only after getting on the boat that I can finally understand the agony of pregnant women.
Every time Rudy and Levin vomited into the barrel, the crew laughed refreshingly and comforted them that they would be fine in a few days.
I couldn’t believe it, but it was as they said. After a few days, the vomiting subsided little by little.
What I couldn’t understand was that Levin’s adaptation was quicker than Rudy’s. Rudy still had no strength in his body, but Levin came alive first.
“I’m much younger than myself, so why…”
Rudy murmured, and Levin gave a refreshing smile.
“Your Majesty and I have different degrees of training.”
“…”
I felt a little bit embarrassed.
However, there has been a lot of paperwork lately, so I couldn’t move my body. Now that he is the father of a child, it may be time to train again.
‘Shouldn’t it be better to increase the training time after returning to the imperial palace?’
It is also difficult for a child to think that an attendant is cooler than the father, even though he has not yet been born. I was kind of out of character.
Levin laughed out loud as if he had guessed that.
“Look, Your Majesty is jealous of me. He’s afraid I’ll become better.”
When I told the nearby soldiers and sailors, they all started to laugh.
He must have been curious as the boat Rudy was on became noisy.
Jumbo came over with his ears flapping and circled the sky.
[master! why are you laughing why? I want to laugh too!]
As Jumbo came closer, several sailors bowed their heads, saying that they were spirits.
In the meantime, most of the soldiers and sailors have gotten used to Jumbo and the Dragon, but some still feel embarrassed whenever the monster comes close.
Jumbo whirled around and around the crew, ahem.
A sailor on the watchtower waved both arms at Jumbo and the dragon, and the dragon circled in the air from afar as if it couldn’t be helped.
It looked peaceful. It didn’t feel like going to war.
When the sun rises and night comes, the sun rises again. On the calm sea, the boat repeated the same day several times.
After several days, the dragon, which had not been seen for a while, flew from afar waving its large body in the air.
[I found the enemy ship.]
Alas, finally.
The corners of Rudy’s lips lifted slightly.
