The Case of Being Reincarnated as a Noble in a World with a Skewed Gender Ratio - 83-84

Chapter 83: SIDE: The Fallen Queens

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Everyone, had any of you noticed that there was a certain group of people that hadn’t been mentioned. Of course, some of you might be curious. After all, they were only mentioned ever so briefly. It was only natural for their existence to be forgotten from the reader’s mind. 

Anyway, this story was the untold episode about the queens who risked their lives in order to protect their people. 

“Re-Reporting in! The enemy’s pursuit squad is closing in!”

“Your Majesty! We will hold them off here, so please! Make haste to leave this place!”

The queens calmly accepted the report from the panicked soldier and then… They made their decision in their heart. 

“It seems we won’t be able to escape.”

“It appears so.”

“The time has come for us to put our remaining lives on the line, as scarcely as it may be.”

“Indeed…”

“Ah, if only we could see His Majesty one more time…”

“There’s nothing that can be done. Well, if there’s the afterlife, I hope we’ll be spoiled rotten there…”

“Yes. For the times we were left unsatisfied here… I hope we will have a rigorous time full of vitality there.”

“Fufufu~ Indeed. Let’s drain him dry there…”

“Well then… Everyone, are you ready?”

“””Of course.”””

And so, the queens took up their swords and decided to face the pursuer there. It didn’t take long before the enemy caught up with the queens. 

“They’ve arrived.”

“Oh my, oh my… Do they really think they can take us down with so few soldiers?”

“If only we were younger… We could’ve easily defeated them all.”

“What are you talking about? We’re still young, you know?”

“Now! Everyone! Let’s end the chatter here!”

“If we die, let’s come back as ghosts to haunt them!”

“Did you just raise a death flag…”

“Here we go!”

“Hyaaaahhh!!”

“Wai-Wait! Don’t run like that…”

Sixth Queen charged towards the enemy with great enthusiasm.

“Hyaaaahh!! Huh…? Ugh-?!”

“Sixth Queen?”

“I’m sorry… I will go first…”

“””SIXTH QUEEEEEEEEEN!!”

Sixth Queen passed away on the battlefield due to a heart attack. 

“Idiot… What a fool…”

“Rushing out like that…”

“Of course she would get a heart attack…”

“How dare you… To Sixth Queen…”

“If only you guys didn’t invade us, she wouldn’t have died this early… I won’t forgive you!!”

Turning their anger over the Sixth Queen’s death into fury, the remaining five queens cut down the enemy. 

“The heck with these old hags?!”

“They’re strong! Too strong…!”

Cries of anguish echoed from the enemy’s side across the battlefield. 

“If you’re wondering who we are…”

“Of course we have to answer…”

“Let’s introduce ourselves…”

The remaining five queens struck a pose as they started to introduce themselves. 

“First Queen!”

“Second Queen!”

“Third Queen!”

“Fourth Queen!”

“Fifth Queen!”

“””Together, we’re the Queen Rangers!!”

And then, just as the five of them finished their pose, a stray arrow flew towards them. 

“Argh-!”

“Gah-!”

“Second Queeeeeen!!”

“Fourth Queeeeeen!!”

Heart-wrenching cries echoed across the battlefield. 

Second Queen and Fourth Queen passed away on the battlefield due to enemy arrows.

“How dare you!!”

“Vengeance for the fallen three!!”

“Drop dead, you bastards!!!”

And then… Another one…

“Ugh-?!”

“Fifth Queeeen?!”

Fifth Queen passed away during a clash with the enemy. Soon, only a few enemies were left. 

“Just a little more, Third Queen.”

“…”

“Third Queen…?’

First Queen rushed over to check on Third Queen.

“She’s… She’s dead.”

Third Queen passed away due to old age.

As if fighting for the five queens who had passed away… No, perhaps it was more precise to say the souls of the five queens who had died first gave their strength to the First Queen. The First Queen successfully scattered the enemy’s rank. She raised her right fist to the sky, looking as gallant and glorious as ever as she declared to the surviving soldiers. 

“I have no regrets anymore in my life!!”

First Queen passed away while striking Queen Rangers infamous victorious pose.

The queens had accomplished their mission. They successfully protected their people. The queens became a legend.

Chapter 84: A Conversation With His Majesty

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Few months had passed. I was still staying at Rainrose Castle. It was safe to say I had engaged in many intimate women during my stay here. So many things had happened, mostly with women. Why did I say that twice? Because that was the highlight of my stay here, that was why. I guess I could talk about my endeavor with the women later on, because…

I was summoned by His Majesty today. Upon arriving at the king’s chamber, I saw King Rainrose, Queen Tine, Lance, Tia and my mother among other familiar faces here. 

“There you are, El…”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“The people here are already aware of what I’m going to say.”

Everyone here already knew?

“I… I’m passing the throne to El von Altair as of today.”

“-?!”

As of today?! Wasn’t this a bit too early for me to get the throne?!

“I believe you will guide this country into a better future… Unlike me.”

“No, that’s not true, Your Majesty.”

“Besides, I’ve grown far too old. I mean, you surely understand that by looking at me, right?”

“El-kun, just like what His Majesty said, I’m sure you will be able to do this.”

“Queen Tine…”

“Besides… Come on, Tia. There’s something you need to tell him, right?”

“-?! Mother?! Right now?!?!”

Tia seemed to be flustered about something.

“Come on, you have to say it now. If you don’t, El-kun won’t be able to get his act together. Knowing you, I’m sure you want to tell this to El-kun alone so you can get all lovey-dovey with him afterward… But well, your lewd time with him can wait.”

“Wha-What are you talking about?! Le-Lewd… I’m not thinking about anything lewd! Ma-Maybe if it’s just a little bit…”

You should’ve denied that part outright, Tia!

“Anyway, what is it, Tia? The things you want to tell me?”

“Uh-?! We-Well……”

“Is it something that you find difficult to say?”

Did I do something wrong?

“N-No! It’s just… It hasn’t come…”

“It hasn’t come…?”

What hadn’t come…?

“M-My monthly visitor… Hasn’t come…”

“By monthly visitor, that means…”

Tia looked down. Her face was beet red as she nodded her head a little. 

“I have El’s child in here….”

Tia muttered as she rubbed her stomach gently. I immediately ran to her. I picked her up in my arms and hugged her gently, careful so that I wouldn’t hurt both her and our child. 

“Really?”

“..Yeah.”

My child… In Tia’s stomach…

“I’m so happy… I’m so happy, Tia!”

“Ehehehe… I’m so happy too. This is happiness indeed…”

“That means..?! Wha-?! Oi! Tine! Why didn’t you tell me about this!”

“It’s a surprise for you too, Your Majesty.”

“Good grief… But still… I’m a grandfather now. I’m finally a grandfather now! Tia, you did well. Great job!”

“Tia! El! Congratulations!!”

Lance and everyone else in here congratulated us. 

“Father…”

“Actually, I was a bit worried because your boobs are so small…”

“May I kill you now, Father?”

Yeah. Tia’s eyes were serious. She was practically fuming with murderous intent. If only His Majesty could stop saying unnecessary things at the worst moment…

“Yo-You were just joking, right…?”

“Father, there are things that you can and can’t say. It’s best if you start learning that if you want to see your grandchild. In fact, it’s best if you shut your mouth shut from now on, okay?”

“I-I won’t say anything. Ple-Please, don’t threaten me.”

“Your Majesty, there’s another thing that you need to say…”

“Right…”

There was something else? Tia seemed to not know about it either. She also tilted her head to the side, looking obviously confused. 

“Lance de Deneb!”

“Ye-Yes!”

Lance was surprised to hear his name being called by His Majesty out of the blue. 

“I want you to become the new king of Deva Kingdom and work together with El to enrich both nations. I’ve already informed this decision to our allied countries and they’ve all agreed to it. The formal announcement will come later.”

“Me…?”

“Lance, it’s okay. I’m sure you can do it.”

“..El, will you help me then?”

“Of course!”

And so, we both became the new king of our respective nations. However, the conversation was still far from over.
