Vol. 3 Chapter 11.3 - The little sunshine clears away dark cloud
Time passed smoothly, and fortunately, with no major problems. With his belly getting bigger, Aeroc refrained from going out unless absolutely necessary, and that was true of Kloff as well. They learned firsthand the chaos that would ensue when a fox and a raccoon were together inside the house.
“At the Count of Teiwind, it is a tradition that black tea is prepared in matching tea sets and served with the finest cream.”
“Oh my, you should add a tradition of having it in a mug and just putting sugar from now on.”
As Martha said that, she confidently stirred her mug with just two sugar cubes. The housekeeper couldn’t tolerate it and trembled, while Martha casually commented, “It seems like you have senile dementia. It’s because you’re always getting angry.” and drank her tea, making a slurping sound. Passing by, Kloff saw the servants taking a break and had to hold back his laughter at the sight of the trembling butler.
Next was the incident that happened while walking in the garden with Aeroc. While engaging in a lighthearted debate about how many children they would have in the future, three or six, they noticed the butler and Martha picking flowers for decorations from the other side of the garden.
“The roses shouldn’t be cut so carelessly. Hold it here and cut it diagonally, then remove the thorns and leaves underneath and put them in a basket. As a housekeeper, don’t you know this?”
“In Bendyke, we don’t grow such nasty flowers, only giant cedar trees.” Diiscover new stories at nove/lbin(.)c/om
“...What do you mean by that?”
“Literally. Do you want me to snap it like this?”
Ignoring the butler’s words again, Martha half-twisted the half-bloomed rose with her hand. The butler hurriedly tried to say, “That’s not!” but soon stepped back a few paces.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Two bees suddenly flew out of the flower and darted toward Martha.
“Ah! Bees!”
As Martha threw her hands in the air in a panic, the butler smirked. He calmly said, “Those are bees cursing the mean flower,” and walked away with the rose basket into the house.
“I guess they don’t get along after all.”
“I think they might get along surprisingly well.”
At Aeroc’s comment, Kloff looked at him in disbelief and said, “Why?” Aeroc smiled slightly.
“It’s the first time Hugo has been so gentle with someone.”
He had just abandoned the female omega who was attacked by the bees and went inside the house. And that was considered gentle? Indeed, the butler, who was the standard of tradition and principles in this mansion, was just as incomprehensible as his master.
Several months passed. While marveling at Aeroc’s expanding belly, his astonishment was short-lived as the gaze of the guests who visited the estate was not at all pleasant. Especially the Wolflake Marquis, who appeared repeatedly for unknown reasons. He took one look at Aeroc’s tautly pulled vest and jacket and said quietly, “This is a gift.” He handed him a small box slightly larger than the palm of his hand.
“By the way, your belly is.......”
“It’s abdominal obesity.”
Kloff, standing by the Count’s side like a knight, answered coldly. Wolflake seemed to have sensed something and coughed a few times before asking again, “Is that true?”
“Eek.”
Kloff gritted his teeth hard and tried his best not to drop the Count. His physique wasn’t small as he was originally an alpha and with a balloon-like swollen belly, the Count was quite heavy. But Kloff smiled slightly, as if Aeroc was featherlight.
“Am I heavy?”
Kloff, endowed with wise and cautious wisdom to never answer the obvious answer when asked an obvious question, replied in a voice that trembled a little.
“No, not at all.”
“But why are you clenching your teeth so hard?”
“Because I have a toothache. I have a cavity.”
“Hmm, that’s a bit different from what I personally confirmed earlier.”
“How can you check for cavities with your tongue?”
As Kloff replied, he took a step, then another step, and moved towards the bed. Just before the veins on his forehead were about to burst, he managed to lift the heavily pregnant omega onto the bed. The bed creaked as the weight settled, and Kloff let out a light sigh, trying to straighten his back.
At that moment, Aeroc grabbed his collar and pulled him down for a kiss. Instinctively closing his eyes, Kloff returned the sweet kiss before opening his eyes again to see Aeroc wearing a wicked smile, saying, “You really don’t have cavities after all.”
“...Humanely-“
“My pajamas.”
Before Kloff could finish his sentence, Aeroc ordered briskly. Kloff quickly fetched the pajamas and helped Aeroc change his clothes. Aeroc, now wearing a loose-fitting white nightgown, complained while handing his worn clothes to Kloff.
“How much longer do I have to wear these stupid clothes?”
Kloff smiled as he pretended to pull down the skirt of his nightgown, while secretly brushing against Aeroc’s smooth legs.
“It’s so round that it’s cute, don’t you look good wearing it?”
Actually, it was more the sight of his legs stretching out beneath his white one-piece nightgown that was so insanely sexy which made him couldn’t think of anything else. However, Kloff knew that if he said it out loud, he’d be scolded so he held it back. Aeroc, with a disapproving expression, finally lay down on the bed. Kloff propped his legs up on the pillows and placed several more pillows to support his upper body.
“When can I sleep lying down properly and see my feet again?”
“Just endure for two more months.”
“I can’t believe I have to do this five more times....”
As he was about to spread the sheets over him, Kloff stopped and looked at Aeroc, who was frowning deeply.
