Chapter 41

The Fourth Plan. To increase the intimacy between the father and the son. (11)

“Mandy! Dad!”

Carl stomped his foot as he urged us on. Gellerhard’s eyes were warm as he watched the little child running at that spot.

Gellerhard’s hounds had given birth to five pups. The dog, which was quite old for a hound, eventually recognized its owner and despite its groaning body, rested its head upon Gellerhard’s hand. Besides Gellerhard, who had taken care of such a dog with utmost sincerity, Carl was falling in love with the charm of those five wriggling puppies. And when one of them was held in Carl’s arms, Carl smiled broadly before he kissed Gellerhard on the cheek.

“How could you be so cute?”

“Would you like to keep one too, Mandy?”

“No, I’m already too tired just from raising my dog.”

As he carefully held the puppy in his arms, Carl’s cheeks became flushed red and his expression looked really excited. Gellerhard laughed out loud when he realized the dog that I was talking about.

That night, I told Gellerhard how to kiss. Gellerhard’s eyes twitched as our lips met and he opened them when I tucked my tongue inside. The tip of my tongue eventually touched against Gellerhard’s own and this time, Gellerhard’s body flinched considerably. As he became seemingly startled, I withdrew my lips and spoke to Gellerhard, who had closed his eyes with his half-opened lips.

“You mix your tongue together like this. How is it? Does it feel a bit bad?”

“Oh, no. I just feel a little strange… Let’s try some more.”

“Yeah, tell me if you don’t like it.”

As I pressed my lips against Gellerhard’s again, I stroked his chest muscles and shoulders with both hands before plunging my tongue inside. He began to move his tongue clumsily as we rubbed and caressed each other’s chunks of flesh against one another while our senses gradually heightened.

“Um, uh—”

A low, booming voice eventually leaked out from Gellerhard. I slipped onto his legs while Gellerhard’s arms started to wrap around my waist. My chest was pressed tightly against his body and a strange sensation inflamed in response.

“This is just like having intercourse with tongues instead.”

“I know.”

Gellerhard was definitely smart. He looked quite dazed, but he could still understand the essence of the kiss rather well. It was the same whether we mingled down or up, only the blend had simply been different.

“Does it feel good if you do well at this?”

“Of course.”

“I want to try some more.”

“Good.”

In conclusion, Gellerhard also quite liked this tongue-in-cheek kiss. My lips and tongue, which had been relatively relaxed, eventually became busy since Gellerhard started coveting my lips every time I went to bed. After having my lady parts sucked, I would push him away and reject the kiss, but before that, I would always welcome it as much as I could. Gellerhard’s kissing skills were one of a kind and there had been no reason to refuse it at all.

While Gellerhard’s kissing skills improved, his puppies grew little by little and gradually left their mother’s side. The puppies of Gellerhard’s hounds were quite a political gift, especially for his subordinates, so the four puppies quickly scattered around in search of their own owners.

The puppy that Carl chose also left its mother and settled down by Carl’s side. Gellerhard’s dog had also been given to him by his own father was what the Duchess Dowager told me before. Carl petted the little puppy and soon after, the puppy could be seen to be barking and following Carl wherever he went.

Gellerhard could now play happily with Carl without my help and I used my time to spend a relaxing and fulfilling afternoon by watching the two of them, both father and son, playing together. Gellerhard was keen on playing games that he had ‘never played, but had seen before’, as if he grew up being resentful of watching the servants of his age played as a child. It started with sledding on the back mountain behind the Duke’s Castle before it became skating on a frozen lake, then ice sword fighting with icicles on the eaves, hide and seek with other children and servants in the Duke’s Castle as well as playing catch in the banquet hall…

In the large castle, there were many places for children to run, hide, jump and mount on. It had been up to the point of getting nagged by the Duchess Dowager when she saw that the two—father and son duo—were roaming around the castle recklessly. Sometimes, it could be seen that he had grabbed the still-young Carl around and on other occasions, he encouraged Carl to follow after him instead. Nevertheless, the nagging had eventually reduced the awkwardness between the Duchess Dowager and Gellerhard themselves. It was because the nagging had felt warm enough that Gellerhard and the Duchess Dowager appeared just like a normal pair of mother and son.

“I thought that the nagging which I heard about ten years ago was the last…”

After listening to his mother who nagged at him for the first time in ten years, Gellerhard shrugged his shoulders. Despite his mother’s nagging, he continued to work hard with his son and they still stood out. Right next to him, Carl smiled as he tried to shrug his shoulders as well, but he soon tripped over. As the relationship between the members of the family that owned the castle of Duke DeMancier improved, the atmosphere in the castle became brighter in return.

There was not a single one who hadn’t been aware of my credit for the good relationship between Gellerhard and Carlos, which could be seen as rather obvious. As a gesture of such amicable reconciliation, Count Petrika promoted my third brother despite he had done nothing special and I heard that the Countess had also sent some presents from herself to my mother. It was supposed to be good like this since I didn’t show any signs of closeness to Count Petrika. In the beginning with the matter of choosing an escort knight, we, who had been strangely in a standoff, finally came to a truce like this.

That particular winter had passed especially quickly and the time for Gellerhard to go out was right around the corner. While Gellerhard and I were busy preparing for the campaign once again, Carl played along well with the puppy that had grown so much. Carl was never aware of the circumstances of the adults who were all preparing for the half a year war while still dealing with the aftermath of the previous war for the other half.

The night before the departure date was finally set yet Gellerhard still came by to my bedroom as usual.
