A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

185 – When You Think It’s Too Late, It’s Too Late (1)

Nosan.

Literally, giving birth to a child at a fairly old age.

However, there are many parts that can be misunderstood if you just listen, but there are a few things that need to be pointed out.

One. The article defines Nosan’s problem as a ‘first’.

It is said that the younger the mother’s age, the better a child is born, and the later the mother’s age, the more defective a child is born.

‘The tone is brutal.’

Although this may be a bit vague, the draft or original text of the article was probably full of even more crude expressions than this.

In other words, this does not apply to the case of mother-Charlotte Lembourg Gunther.

My mother already gave birth to me when she was in her early 20s, and over the next three years, she gave birth to several more children and is still repeating pregnancy and childbirth every time, but her first start was the average in the kingdom

In fact, it is a little later than the kingdom average.

In the kingdom, most women become pregnant and give birth as early as 20.

Because nobles have the obligation to pass on the nobles from generation to generation.

The reason for commoners is the labor required for farming and economic cooperation through in-laws.

And this is because there is a widespread perception throughout the kingdom that it is best to have a child at the age of 20.

What about the empire?

Empires are a bit slower than kingdoms.

‘On average, 25 years old?’

The empire is relatively more developed than the kingdom, and there is more freedom in choosing a job, such as the service industry.

Women who would have been plowing rice paddies and fields when born in the kingdom are now engaged in economic activities, so incomes rise, but the age of childbirth tends to rise relatively.

Still, even though the Empire has been researching magic engineering for about several decades, the average age of first childbirth is high in the capital city, but in rural areas, the age tends to be similar to that of the kingdom.

Two.

As the article notes, the average age of childbirth on the continent is probably around 22 to 25.

This isn’t a direct statistic, but isn’t there something called context and trends?

It’s not particularly strange.

Therefore.

Two.

The fact that the age at risk of old age mentioned in the article is defined as around the age of 30 when the mother is 30 years old is considered to be quite high compared to the continental average, whether it is a kingdom or an empire.

Of course, perhaps because the editorial was written as politely as possible, it only mentioned the possibility of ‘a child may be born with a disability’ and did not reveal specific figures.

A story that would make someone who doesn’t know them think, ‘Isn’t this just a curse because he got dumped by an older woman?’

I am seriously wondering why the editorial department of the Imperial Newspaper posted such an article, and I am writing an apology after receiving harsh criticism from educated women who read the newspaper.

A story that will make the blood run down your neck so that you will never again receive a column from the person who contributed the editorial.

But it has a different meaning to me.

No matter what the content is.

Whether there is insufficient evidence.

Such an editorial was published in the reputable Imperial Newspaper.

That one piece of information alone is enough for me to launch a counterattack with this.

Above all.

Last.

“Viscount Kvers.”

The name and identity of the person who posted the editorial was so explicit that I couldn’t help but laugh.

“They are openly letting me know that they are listening, they are openly pressing me to help in this way, and they are openly threatening me to give birth quickly.”

Even if you turn the world upside down, you will not find a man named Viscount Kvers anywhere.

I wouldn’t know if it was self-made.

“I know that the bitter poison is dangerous, but if you spray it on the fence, you can prevent snakes from climbing over the fence.”

The moment I accept it, my countdown also decreases.

“Charlotte Harmania.”

But without this, we can’t protect Noir.

“…She’s a girl with noir tastes, so she’s really dangerous.”

Noir likes big things.

Human tastes do not change easily, and all males like big things.

And the daughter of Viscount Harmania is already making a name for herself as one of the most beautiful women among the new students.

So.

If there is a most appropriate way-

“…Even if you’re in a relationship, should you say that you can’t get married?”

Overcoming the age gap and dating a younger man and an older woman will not be socially criticized, but if you think about the future, it will be okay to push forward with the stance of ‘marriage is not allowed’.

Instead.

By that logic, the moment I take out the Nosan mentioned in the article, the poison will one day fly like a boomerang and land squarely in the back of my head.

The Nosan issue is not limited to the daughter of Viscount Harmania.

“…Astasia.”

Before regression.

Until she was purged at age 27, Astasia did not have children.

It wasn’t because there was a problem with me or Astasia giving birth to her her her her heir her her her.

She was actually healthier and more active, so much so that she sometimes had trouble using birth control.

Nevertheless, before returning, there were no children between us.

I had to postpone it.

I had no choice but to postpone it.

As the continent was unified and the momentum of the revolutionary army began to weaken day by day, the emperor tried to put pressure on us and somehow force us to see the heir.

Nevertheless, it had to be postponed.

To be honest, we both really hoped that the child would never be born.

It’s not that I don’t want children.

I hoped that the child would grow up in the happiest environment, but a hellish future was predicted for the child born to traitor Gray and Princess Astasia.

Nosan.

I was threatened.

To have a child.

It is said that if you give birth to a child quickly, a healthy child will be born.

If you keep putting it off day after day, the longer each year passes, the less healthy the child will be.

The emperor somehow wanted a child between me and Astasia, and I and Astasia somehow postponed it over and over again.

Then an accident occurred.

Gray Gibraltar, purge.

The emperor’s patience ran out, and he threatened me to the point of killing his father.

Astasia also could not resist the threat and said that she would give birth to her child.

But I couldn’t do that, so I acted against Astasia.

Like.

It’s like I’ve been living with a woman I don’t love for the past seven years.

-…Be mine.

Astasia also knew my will, so she suited that performance.

And I died.

I should have died.

It should have been me who was purged, but I was forcibly rescued by the revolutionary army.

And Astasia died.

To the emperor, a woman who could not conceive the seed of Gray Gibraltar had no utility.

The final utility is a hostage to draw out Gray Gibraltar.

I was captured by the princess of a ruined country and could not go to rescue her, and the hostage was killed.

I chose death myself.

Before being molested at the hands of others, he chose to be killed obediently.

“…”

Should we grab the card the emperor gives us to protect the current Noir?

Or is there some other solution?

“Huh.”

Suddenly, I felt like I wanted to smoke a silver cigarette and go to sleep.

* * *

“So you called me…?”

“Okay.”

If it had been Gray, the traitor before his return, he would have suffered a lot and lived with the flow, thinking that something would work out.

“I called you because I wanted to know what you think about this situation and to hear your story honestly.”

But it’s different now.

“Noir.”

Noir, not anyone else, is the subject of the topic, but it is a big problem to act carelessly without listening to Noir’s opinion.

“You probably know the situation, right?”

“…Yes.”

Noir, who has been called ‘alone’ to the chairman’s office, tries hard to remain calm, but is very nervous, like a child who has come to be punished.

Still, it’s better like that.

Before returning, that piece of trash didn’t come on time when I called him, and he was drunk and grumpy, and sat on the sofa with a ‘what should I do’ expression on his face.

“Many of the women in the academy are targeting you.”

“…”

“Among them, there is a beautiful woman who is 24 years old, and there is a girl who is younger than you but can be called a genius. They say she is an all-time talent selected from the magic tower built by the wizard who saved the kingdom.”

“She’s 14 years old.”

“Do you know?”

“I heard a rumor. Wednesday told me.”

“I see.”

I am relieved that Wednesday seems to be assisting Noir well.

“Noir. “What do you think?”

“Me?”

“Although we are engaged in a political tug-of-war between the kingdom and the empire, I have no intention of forcing sacrifices, even breaking the will of my family.”

Because I’ve done it myself, I know better than anyone else the pain it feels like when something like that happens.

“You have already achieved excellent results over the past year. As you alternated between the Academy’s head and deputy head, you became people’s hope as a ‘future hero.'”

“…”

“If you are able to ride a dragon perfectly, people will praise you and say that you are even better than me. My older brother is a traitor who is trying to cross over to the empire by begging the princess, but my younger brother is even better at riding a dragon than his older brother his. He’s a patriot.”

“That.”

At that moment, Noir raised his head to say something.

“Well, what?”

“…No.”

“Tell me.”

“…”

“If there is something you want to say, even if it means interrupting me, say it honestly. “I called you here to hear that.”

“…”

Noir is hesitating.

He hesitates, looking at my gaze and hesitating as if he’s about to say something.

“I don’t know anything else, but this is one thing I’ve realized throughout my life.”

“…What is it?”

“If you don’t tell me, you won’t know.”

Both father and mother.

And the entire Gibraltar family had a strong tendency to do so.

“No one will know about the conversation that takes place here. It’s only between us, and we won’t tell it to anyone. Not even…”

“Seriously?”

“Don’t tell Astacia either.”

“…!!”

Noir opens his eyes wide and is surprised.

“It’s a lie. If I tell you anyway, I’ll tell the princess right away.”

“As a brother…No, I promise as a man to man.”

“…”

If you don’t say anything even after getting to this point, I have no choice but to act the way I do.

Even if you hold on to the card the emperor holds out-

“Brother.”

Chat Noir said, looking at me with a more sturdy stance than ever before.

“I can handle my brother using me to recruit patriots and make me the protector of Nostrum. But for this one thing, I want to do whatever I want.”

“What is it?”

“Me.”

Noir blushed slightly and muttered softly.

“…I want to.”

“…”

Something.

For a moment, I wondered if I had heard wrong.

“What?”

“…I guess so. As expected, it’s ridiculous-“

“Did I hear wrong just now?”

“Huh?”

“No, I think the words came out far beyond my expectations. So, what? I’m sorry, but can you say it again?”

“Sorry…? Did you really not hear me?”

Chat Noir let out a laugh.

“No, is it strange?”

“…”

“Gibraltar says it will be Gibraltar, what does that mean?”

“…”

It’s clear that he’s a noir, seeing as he shows his temper as soon as his feelings his are hurt.

“Yes. You must be Gibraltar.”

Noir was noir, but at the same time it was a Gibraltar.

“Okay. Then… “

As an older brother, I can’t stay still.

“I guess I should call Wednesday and ask for a doctor.”

“Ah, bro–!!”
