Side Chapter: You guys did it, didn't you? (I).
The time has come, the hero must go.
Avery Williams and Kein Hills, after they fought, experimented with potions and talked upon the plan within three days.
They must seek- the first princess' cure, a dragon they must slay.
Through the dungeon, rests below the demon lands, where the queen lives her glory days with her demon army.
They went back inside onto the estate, it felt like hours and Kein took the vest in Rose's arms before going back she wore it behind slowly inserting her arms inside the sleeve holes.
"Would you need some help with the vest?" (Rose) asks considerately remembering that she still has her arm injured from the fight before.
Kein shakes her head loving the girl's expression of worry giving a delighted tone of answer. "No... I'm alright, but my shoulders would feel better though if we would have some time off... us alone in my office."
Rose smirks playfully, shoving her arm minding her injury. "Oh you..." she tells the blonde girl with a slight blush on her face.
The two were awfully being so lovely and flirty with one another- as the servants watched in curiosity.
The maid who thanked their mistress- their milady for enrolling her brother into the public academy felt a little jealous seeing her with another person.
Her heart was tangled upon the web of our Kein Hills.
"Oh... milady… is already taken." she mutters sadly, her hand that was holding a feather duster drops down to her side with a sad sigh.
"So it seems milady is indeed taken!"
The other maids nudged her sides not seeing her woeful expression and began to think of possible rumors. "You think this is the same girl milady was having a fling with from years ago?"
"I-I have only been here for half a year I do not know..." she responds, her time at the Hills estate has not been fully a year.
While their Lady Kein would come home once a month and rest for seven days... she couldn't help but stare at her whenever she would spot her working outside her office.
Her duty was to clean the windows bright and early in the morning, and so in that time she would see Lady Kein working with her papers with such focus and seriousness it made her look so charming and handsome!
"Oh you'd wish you could see it! I've heard from all the other staff here that milady would always be running off into the orphanage to meet with a light maiden." The maids slowly turn their heads at Rose, whose face was concealed with the same red scarf Kein thought looked wonderful on her.
Even under that scarf everyone could see that she was genuinely happy.
The other maid squealed being dragged into the deep romance of the story. "I've heard she would bring snacks and such to the orphanage!"
The rumors were true. Kein would awfully go on early to prepare their carriage back then when she didn't have Vanilla for a ride, just to bring snacks when she was free and then watch or play with the orphanage kids.
"I've heard she's brought expensive lavishing gifts! Our Lady Hills is quite romantic!" The maid would go on to exaggerate by lavishing gifts thinking of items such as a diamond ring or some rare magic stone only found in the deepest mines of the world.
This rumor is a mix of both. Knowing that Rose might be a runaway from nobility, keeping it hidden was a tough choice to pick a gift.
Every time she would choose one, she wanted it to be simple and would leave a mark in her heart.
"Oh! I've heard that milady bought land to build an extravagant estate summer home for her and it's resting on some private lands outside the kingdom! [Sprivanto] specifically!"
...
Kein would definitely do this one but- not without the other person's input. Buying such a huge thing is not a one person's decision.
"Hold on, what if milady didn't bring the old maiden?! A new light maiden she's brought home... judging from her clothes and mannerisms those are the qualities she possesses." One maid theorized, the others nodded in agreement.
"Milady has such a weird preference for light maidens." One maid muttered in complaint. "Are those the only girls she'll bring home? Why... the light has not blessed me, milady is such a sweet girl to date!"
"While it's clearly illegal for people to do such a thing, the church has already been targeting milady's back for being open with her preferences alas they couldn't punish her, thanks to the Baron."
The hero was walking behind hearing everything and she stared with admiration at the two couples minding their own business by flirting.
This Kein fella- is really living the life of a real main character moment!
Look at her scoring a princess and being fought over half of her servants! Might she even dare say, very nosy servants that really can't get enough of the story between these two.
Not to mention she also has an overpowered kind of power and she would even bet all of her money that these two have done the dirty!
She gave her respect of being a true based mc in an isekai story!
Avery would be considered a whole main character herself... her adventures were something to not be taken lightly. A hero set to have been summoned, knowing her life was from a privileged bunch and her physical strength was certainly not athletic.
It took a whole lot of training, almost a near death experience where she was able to get this kind of shape for her body.
Hell! Even at the first month of her being summoned, they immediately wanted to test her skills onto the dungeon and spar with the demon lord. Those summoners were certainly mean, but that was enough to break her spirit!
The only thing she was feeling fearful about was her shattering love life- clearly the hero can't score a princess.
When she scored the demon lord instead... but perhaps that's a tale for another time.
"Mommy! Mama!" (Vivienne) raises her hands running in a rush wanting to be put down to the ground.
"Ah! Be careful now!" Her grandfather was a little dejected that his granddaughter was no longer in his arms but soon felt rather joyful seeing all of the family together.
"Vivienne!"
Rose was the first one to see the little blonde hair figure running towards them. Her little happy smile when she ran towards her mommy was so wide and precious. "Hehe!" (Vivienne) giggled feeling Rose's warmth on her arms.
Vivienne's little hands were still covered in paint from their little bonding session, Rose being the attentive mother she noticed it and rubbed the side of her palms gently.
"Oh! Your hands are still covered in some paint." she gave a warm smile looking at her small bean hands.
"I'm guessing you enjoyed your time with-" she tops her words forgetting on what to call her 'lovers' father. "Grandfather-"
"Your highness, please call me by my title. I'm still being strict on my daughter, so if you feel like it. Sir is also on the table." He smiles and Rose feels a little intimidated by his words.
"R-Right... sir."
It was a little awkward but Kein and the hero were left behind with their own kind of conversation. Avery was interested in who the old man was, and even more on the little girl that looked exactly like Kein!
Is this the daughter they were telling before?
"Pssst hey... who's the handsome old man over there?" (Avery) nudges the side of Kein's ribs looking over Baron Hills. While his dark hair might have some white strips of it, his body and face were still clearly in shape. "If that's your dad- then you have some good genes in that body for getting reincarnated. He's buff looking hot even at that age."
The hero would go on to compliment Kein's foster dad.
Kein stares at Baron Hills who was trying to coax Vivienne to come back into his arms because he'll be giving him upsies.
It made her remember Kein's real blood family... and smiled.
"Heh... Well I have to agree with you there. You have to admit, father's genes? I got them. His romantic side- I got them too." (Kein) wanted the talk to be all about how much of an awesome father Baron Hills was. From the day Baron Hills proposed and took her in to be a part of the Hills family.
Not even hesitating on deeming her the heir for all of his riches.
"You could say I really love my dad."
Avery nods, clapping a little and stares at Baron Hills for a long time before nodding. "You know what, I think I love your dad too." she mutters looking dazed.
Kein had to blink a few times looking at the hero with such a complex of emotions surrounding her so suddenly. Was the hero interested in Baron Hills?
The age gap was a little worrying.
"Don't Avery... just don't."
...
"Hmm..."
Vivienne could be seen in Rose's arms looking over at Avery. The hero was fond of children, but she remembers back in her past life the only people she could get along with were other kids.
For the time on earth, kids were getting their own electronic devices connected to the internet. Avery was a little ashamed to admit it but those little devils were hardcore in game.
She would go on to find two types of kids. Kids who are very polite in game and the ones that lets out their wild side throwing insults at your mom.
"Your daughter is so cute! Did you two make this together with some weird magic from this world? I heard in [Sprivanto] you can." (Avery) reaches out and pinches Vivienne's cute chubby little cheeks.
"Ungugugu...!"
The little one was not enjoying it.
