The Case of Being Reincarnated as a Noble in a World with a Skewed Gender Ratio - 85-86

Chapter 85: Seriously?!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Now then, I suppose this is the end of our conversation.”

“Not yet, Your Majesty.”

“Again, Tine?”

“Surprises are just like that, Your Majesty.”

“Who is this surprise for, I wonder…”

“Well, I guess it’s for the new king.”

“Me…?! For me?!”

“Yes. That’s right, El-kun.”

“Tia, do you know what this is about?!”

I asked and Tia shook her head. Yet another thing she didn’t know. Queen Tine really loved surprises, huh?

“El-kun, you are truly a special person after all.”

“Special…?”

Perhaps Queen Tine knew I was a reincarnator?

“Indeed. Just like in the prophecy…

Prophecy?

“Yes. As a proof for that, all the women you’ve been intimate with… All of them are believed to be pregnant already.”

“”WHAT?!””

Tia and I said in unison. Did she really just say ‘ALL’?!

“Wha-What… This is definitely a cause for celebration!”

Your Majesty, thank you for the sentiment…

“El-kun… I wonder just how effective your seeds are…”

I was wondering the same thing too, Queen Tine. 

“Everyone… Is it true?”

“””YES!”””

After that, I talked to each and every one of them. I hugged them tenderly too. I couldn’t believe everyone was pregnant. It was truly a surprise. 

＊＊＊

And so, many days passed by and..

“””KING EL!! OUR NEW KING!”””

“LONG LIVE KING EL!!”

“A new king has been born!”

“Ah, our new king looks so magnificent…”

“Indeed…”

“El-samaaaaaa!”

The citizens welcomed me warmly. 

“””Congratulations on your marriage!!”””

“Queen Tia looks so beautiful…”

“Tia-sama… Ahh, so majestic!”

“They make such a great couple! A handsome man and a beautiful woman…”

“Look at how happy Queen Tia is!”

“Ah, to marry so many women at once… Not to mention, all of them are already pregnant too…”

“El-sama… He’s incredible. He’s way too incredible!”

“He is. Indeed he is…”

“Say, have you heard the rumors about the Fertility Squad?”

“What kind of rumors?”

“It seems our new king, El-sama, will be joining the Fertility Squad for a bit.”

“For real?!”

“Well, there aren’t many productive men in the Fertility Squad after all….”

“Oh, that’s true. Not to mention, we were just at war until recently too…”

“Indeed. War only brings about tragedy…”

Anyway, I became the king of this nation while Lance became the king of Deva Kingdom. Queen Heartness abdicated and left the throne to her eldest daughter. She came to life in Alphonse Castle with Miria. Alphonse? What was that? Alphonse was the new name for old Rainrose. Of course, I had wedding ceremonies with all the women I had been intimate with. 

And so… A year passed. Tia gave birth to our child. 

“Great job, Tia. Thank you for making me a father.”

“No, thank YOU for making me a mother. I’m so happy, El…”

“I’m so happy too, Tia.”

Tia and I had a boy. Miria also had a boy. Marin and Leila also had a boy. In fact, all the women I had been with gave birth to boys. All of them without any exception. A coincidence? Perhaps. Anyway, the sudden increase of males in the Alphonse Kingdom stirred excitement not only in our country but also within our allied nations.

Chapter 86: Lance’s Suffering

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

My name is Lance. 

A few months had passed since I was anointed as the new king of the Deva Kingdom. Since this was the country that started the previous war, I knew my task wouldn’t be an easy one. I focused all of my efforts on governing this kingdom to prosperity. Well, during that time… I expected some sort of rebellion or civil war. Anyway, I thought there would be some trouble at the very least. Any kind of resistance from the citizens at least. Hence why, our allied nations dispatched many of their soldiers to the Deva Kingdom but… Nothing happened. 

No,no,no. Of course that was a good thing. Having no conflict was always good. Peace was definitely the best! Nothing could beat peace!

However…. There was just one tiny problem.

“Is something wrong, Lance-sama?”

“Ren…”

“Is something the matter?”

“Ren, I know you always prioritize me. You always keep me in your heart, even from a long time ago…”

“O-Of course. A-After all… I’ve been yearning for you for a long time, Lance-sama.”

“Well then, can I ask you for a favor?”

“Hm? What kind of favor?”

“Please, Ren! I know it’s unavoidable that I need to have 10 wives aside from you, but could you please reduce the frequency of my nightly duties?! I’m seriously at my limit already! Being forced to do it AT LEAST three times a night every day… And I sometimes have to do it with two women at once?! Ren, please! It’s impossible! My body can’t keep it up!”

“W-Well… About that… I think it will be difficult to do anything about that…”

“But Ren! Aren’t you the one in charge of deciding the order of things?! As my queen, you’re the only one that can do something about it! Can’t you at least make it once a day or something?!”

“We-Well, even if you say that… We need to produce an heir… Besides, I’ve received another piece of advice from Queen Tia. She said it would be better if I could increase the frequency of your night duties to two or three times more than the current one…”

“Tia?!?!?! What kind of nefarious plot is she feeding you, Ren?! I mean, as the subject of this question, I should have a say in it, right?! Two or three times more than the current one?! Impossible… Impossible! It’s impossible, Ren! Ren! My body will shrivel!! I might be unable to perform at all!”

“We-Well, there’s another thing…”

“There’s another?!”

“I-I already told the other wives that the frequency for each person will be increased starting tonight….”

“REEEEEEEEN?!?!?!”

“A-And also… Lance-sama, can you give me more affection? I want a child too…♡”

“Ugh-?! Even if you ask me so cutely like that…”

“I heard El-sama has been doing his best…”

“No,no,no,no! El is a monster! Don’t compare a regular man like me to him! He’s the only man you should never compare me to!”

While I was talking about the crucial internal affairs with Ren…

“Re-Reporting!”

“Did something happen?!”

“Ye-Yes! Someone is requesting an audience with King Lance!”

“Hm? Is it someone from our allied nation?”

“No, it’s someone claiming to be the former princess of this country. We’ve already checked the facts and she seems to be telling the truth.”

I see.. Well, Miinya-san did mention she had a younger sister. 

“Understood. Let her in.”

“Yes!”

Then, a woman who bore a striking resemblance to Miinya-san appeared before me. She probably had a different father from Miinya-san though, because while Miinya-san had a voluptuous body, this woman was lacking in… Alright. Stop right there. Women could be sensitive about these things. 

“Nice to meet you, I’m…”

“I’ve heard about you. You’re  Miinya-san’s younger sister, Maanya-san,right?”

“-?! You know my older sister?!”

“Yeah, I know her.”

She was one of El’s wives… Miinya-san did ask me to help Maanya-san if I encountered Maanya-san… Miinya-san was probably going to hear about this and came back here to meet Maanya-san.

“First of all, I want to apologize. I’m truly sorry. What my mother did is absolutely inexcusable. I understand my apology won’t do anything, but…”

“It’s okay. I accept your apology.”

“No, no. Like I said, my apology alone won’t be enough. I won’t feel at ease until I atone for my mother’s sins. That’s why, I intended to dedicate my everything to you, Lance-sama…”

Absolutely not!! My body literally couldn’t handle more wives right now!! Lance!! Think!! Think!!!

“In that case, I think there’s another man I believe will suit you better. Since you want to atone for your mother’s sin, it’s better if you dedicate yourself to the biggest victim of that incident, right?”

“Ye-Yes! You’re right! Lance-sama, I will accept whatever your decision is!”

“Alright. Do you know about King Alphonse? To be precise, the new king?”

“I’ve heard rumors…”

“Actually, the new king of Alphonse is my best friend.”

“I-I see.”

“He’s also your big sister’s husband.”

“My big sister get married?!”

“You didn’t know that?!”

“Ye-Ye-Yes… I was actually on a journey to find a strong man…”

This was it!! This was the moment! She said she was looking for a strong man! There was no stronger man than El!

“If it’s a strong man you’re looking for then it’s perfect. The man I want you to dedicate yourself to is someone that your big sister can’t even defeat… Of course, I mean at night…”

“My big sister can’t win against him?!”

“That’s right…”

“La-Lance-sama, I-I don’t think-“

“It’s fine. Just be quiet for now, Ren. I just need to push her a bit more now.”

“Very well. Just so you know, I’ve tried to warn you first, okay?”

“Sssh! It’s fine! Anyway, Maanya-san.. Will you go to him? Become El’s wife. He’s someone strong enough. Your big sister can’t even defeat him.”

“Ye-Yes! I will become his wife!”

“Good, good… Very good, very good…”

El would understand. Everything would be fine. This was El after all. He should be able to handle one more wife just fine. 

After that, Maanya-san set off to Alphonse Castle. A short while later, I received a letter from Tia. Wondering what she was talking about, I opened the letter and..

To Lance, who acted on his own selfishness

I’ve heard everything from Queen Ren. And so, I’ve prepared more brides for you from our allied nations. Make sure to love all of them properly, okay? 

P.S. I’m sending you 20 wives, but let me know if they’re not enough. ♡

“Ha… Hahaha….”

I couldn’t do anything but laugh wryly.
