The Returnee Noble Lady Attacks His Majesty the Dragon Emperor Translation

124. The Battle Maiden is Raising a Black Dragon (14)

With a straight face and a nonchalant tone, Hadith told her.

“As I thought, I want to learn how to make baby food.”

It took a few moments for Jill to comprehend Hadith’s words.

“…Okay?”

“The talk about our future as parents. About the ten children—did you forget about it!? My ten children should be born, soon!”

“Eh, uh, what!? Yes, I do remember about that!”

Hadith looked even more agitated than Jill. However, when he heard her reply, he smiled in relief.

“That’s a relief. Ten children will take at least ten years just to birth. It’ll be a burden on your body. I’m convinced we should start as soon as possible, while you’re still young.”

“Ah, yes, you have a point—wait, what?”

While Jill still failed to comprehend his intentions, she decided to just nod for the time being. For some reason, Hadith looked terribly serious.

“In regards to that, we should start when you’re about 16 or 17-years-old.”

“I see, okay…”

“Hence why, I want to learn how to make baby food.”

“Yes, I heard you earlier…”

“If possible, I also want to learn how to make cute clothes. I want to change their diapers and coax them when they cry.”

“So, Your Majesty wants to raise kids…”

It sounded good. Yet, at the same time, why was he talking as if the plan was going to take place the day after tomorrow?

Could it be, he’s talking about Rho? Does he want to take care of Rho?

While Jill tried to comprehend the unpredictable message, Hadith continued with resolution.

“Of course, I’ll also assist you during your pregnancy.”

“T, thank you? That’s thoughtful of you, Your Majesty…”

“In that case, in five years, I must be able to single-handedly finish the emperor’s duties!”

“I, I see… in five years, single-handedly, the emperor’s duties…”

“That’s right. They range from the country’s financial stability to the issue with Kratos. I have to come up with the fastest, simplest, and the best solution for all of them. For my children, I must do my best!”

“For that reason!?”

“Eh? Is that no good?”

How was she supposed to answer?

W, well, that certainly sounds better than plotting revenge… alright, then.

Listeard would surely be overwhelmed. Despite that, Jill took the plunge and nodded.

“I think it’s good! It’s truly ideal!”

“Therefore, while things will become a bit difficult from now on, I want you to believe in me.”

Jill got tired of puffing out her chest. After wrapping a shawl around Jill, who had already put on her nightwear, Hadith started preparing her pillows for the night.

“Half of my magical power has yet to be restored. I can’t bring out the heavenly sword for long. As such, I think it’ll be difficult in certain areas. I can’t spend too much time with you.”

“Oh, are you saying that we’re going to not be able to meet, Your Majesty?”

“Yes. Still, I’m going to properly get married to you. I will make you a Dragon Princess for the sake of our happy family plan.”

—Finally, Jill understood.

Why did Rho hatch from the egg?

His Majesty is about to become a true Dragon Emperor…

What Jill intended to convey to Hadith had been received properly.

He hadn’t only kept it in mind but decided to follow through with it.

“I love you, Your Majesty.”

Before she noticed it, she had said so. Hadith looked truly surprised.

“E, eh, you’re already fine with confessing your feelings?”

“I’m fine. I like you. I love you. I’m glad I fell in love with Your Majesty.”

Her heart was full. Her nose was starting to become stuffy. Stretching out her hands, she hugged Hadith.

“U, uwaaah! I’ll definitely marry Your Majesty! I will become the Dragon Princess, uweeeeh—!”

“Why did you start crying!? Jill, calm down!”

“Because Your Majesty is very cool! I’m falling in love with you, I don’t care about His Highness Geraldo anymore!”

“As I thought, it was that guy…”

Hadith remarked with an irked voice. Regardless, he gently rubbed the crying Jill on her back.

By the time the lights were turned off, they were heading to bed as usual. She couldn’t bring herself to look into Hadith’s eyes. Despite that, she wanted to stay with him. When he said, “Good night.” She only replied with, “Good night.” Then, for the first time, slept with her back facing him.

For the first time, she experienced the excitement of having her beloved sleep behind her.

Just the slightest touch with Hadith’s body caused her to shudder. Despite that, she held her breath. She was strangely self-conscious. What if she were to grow up and the future was as Hadith had said?

Except, that future would only contain the continuation of their love. Feeling calmed, Jill closed her eyes.

“In regards to that, we should start when you’re about 16 or 17-years-old.”

Did you guys see that? See, I trusted Hadith all along.
