After Retirement, Living a Stud Life in Another World - 204

Chapter 204: Was it my birthday?

That night, from the inn, the lunch spot the next day, and even the second night’s inn, Adele was able to travel back and forth to the royal capital without needing any magic replenishment from me. This mobility is incredible… Could it be that wind magic in the S-class is the strongest?

“I’m a bit surprised myself. With the class-up you gave me, I didn’t expect my power to increase this much,” Adele said.

Well, there’s supposed to be a huge gap between A-class and S-class. Before I started my breeding business, there wasn’t anyone whose magic class had increased in their lifetime… I guess wizards who have experienced a class-up didn’t even exist.

On the third night, even Adele was breathing heavily at the royal palace.

“I lost more than sixty percent… Lutz-sama, please help,” she gasped.

Yeah, it’s finally my turn. I need to touch her and replenish her magic… But this is Beatrice’s office. It feels uncomfortable to embrace my lover openly in front of my legal wife… My skull was caught by long arms before I could back off.

“Hey, Adele, what are you… mmph…”

Yes, Adele trapped my head with incredible strength, and in the blink of an eye, she pressed her lips to mine… Before I could resist, her tongue invaded. This is quite a sweet situation, but the gaze of my legal wife behind me is like something out of a suspense drama. After acting out this scene for about two minutes… a cold, alto voice echoed from behind.

“Adele. Haven’t you had enough magic replenishment already?”

“Oh, Lutz-sama’s magic is just so delicious that I ended up savoring it slowly. Thank you for the meal,” Adele smirked, provoking Beatrice with a carnivorous smile. It seems that teasing her master, whom she failed to make her lover, is a hobby of hers. Well, Beatrice seems to allow it as a form of communication.

“Hmph… worthless secretary. So… do you think you can fly to Baden?”

“Most likely. We should arrive in Baden by tomorrow afternoon… It seems I can make it to the royal capital with just one more magic boost.”

“Good. I’m looking forward to it. I also want to see the country Lutz is building.”

The moment she said that, a slight flush appeared on her porcelain-like cheek. Yeah… she’s not great at expressing her emotions, but I still like Beatrice.

“Well, it feels like you should just go ahead and break up already,” Adele said, making a surrender gesture and sighing heavily.

To cut to the chase, the transfer magic from Baden to the royal capital was successful.

This spell, which can cover the distance that would take about four days by carriage, is something that Adele can use for various terrifying purposes when she feels like it. But it seems that Beatrice’s “Spirit’s Eye” hasn’t reacted at all… which means I can trust Adele.

Then, the next evening, Beatrice finally visited me in Baden.

“Welcome, Beatrice. If you had come during the day, I could have shown you around the territory…”

“Even though Sister Clara is covering for my public duties, I couldn’t get away from desk work. Well, sightseeing can wait for another day. Tonight, I just had to come to see you, Lutz.”

“Why tonight of all nights?”

“Have you forgotten, you insensitive stud? My husband is turning sixteen today, you know?”

Ah, that’s right. I completely forgot. Well, since I’ve taken over Lutz’s body, “birthdays” don’t really mean much to me… and honestly, back in my old world, I didn’t even think about my birthday unless my wife reminded me.

But when I think about how Beatrice, who is so busy, came all the way to this remote place to celebrate my birthday, I feel really happy.

“Oh, thank you.”

“Yeah, I’m glad you’re happy. Here… this is your present.”

What she handed me was a gold cufflink decorated with a large jade stone. Of course, it was probably meant to match Beatrice’s eyes and hair color. In this world, having your partner wear your color is like stamping a huge mark of ownership.

“Ugh, I didn’t expect Beatrice-sama to be so forward,” Gretel said.

“For someone so ladylike, this is quite rare,” Ayaka added.

Gretel and Ayaka seemed a little taken aback. Well, Beatrice has always been like this, right? She just wears a thick cat skin normally. Was she trying to take the lead? Beatrice’s breath was a bit heavier, as if to claim dominance.

“Well, once in a while, I have to act like a legal wife. After all, Lutz has added another lover,” Beatrice said.

“Ah, so Lutz finally did it with Cornelia. I’m glad,” said Gretel.

“It’s reassuring to have that person by your side,” Ayaka agreed.

Beatrice’s revelations were casually accepted by the two concubines, making the atmosphere uncomfortable. Of course, I don’t want to feel Gretel’s wrath… but a wife-approved harem? It’s still a strange feeling.
