Mysterious Job Called Oda Nobunaga - 140

I should have waited for Hasse to raise his voice and ask me to come to his rescue, but it was not in my nature to sit back and wait.

But there was a problem that needed to be solved before the next mission.

In a word, a domestic problem.

This problem is not going to be solved unless I make a move.

I went to Yucca’s room.

“Oh, ……. Your Excellency the Regent: ……. Sorry for the messy room: ……”

Yucca was still not used to me or to life at Maust Castle.

Although she is the daughter of the Nistonian family, nowadays a count, there is something not quite right about her. Is this due to her natural disposition? She is very different from Serafina, who is also a daughter of a lord.

Well, it may be due to the fact that she has only been a concubine for a short period of time. It was a very blatant political marriage and I didn’t visit Yucca much. Of course, I was busy with military operations and so on.

Even then, I was the master of the room, but I was in the corner and small.

“Yucca, you are not a servant. You should be more relaxed. My face is not that scary. I don’t think I have the face of an orc or an ogre.

“No, it’s not like that. ……”

I have to say, this girl’s frightening appearance makes me want to torment her. I pushed down my desire to bully her.

“Or are you afraid to be around a man who has killed so many people?”

“No, no. ……. That’s not true. ……. It’s just that I’ve been so afraid …… that I still don’t realize that I’m serving the Regent as his personal chamberlain, even though I’m the youngest. ……”

Anyway, Yucca has no self-confidence. And to a great extent, too.

But it’s not hard to understand. History is changing drastically now. It is no wonder that there are people who have no idea how to live in such a world. If you make a wrong turn, you and your family will all perish. It must be much more stressful than for the lords and ladies of a peaceful time a few hundred years ago.

But most of us are either pretending not to be afraid, or we are so insensitive that we are not even aware of it.

However, it is not good for me if my wife is like this all the time. I am sure that Yucca will have many more days of anxiety in the future. I cannot be a well-behaved regent. At the very least, I will have to go to war.

That’s why I wanted to settle things quickly.

Of course, there were political issues with the Nistonians, but my relationship with my wife was more important.

I slowly approached Yucca.

For some reason, Yucca left her seat and ran toward the wall.

I followed her.

“Why are you running away, Yucca ……?”

“That …… sorry ……”

I pushed hard against the wall right in front of Yucca.

“What!”

This makes me look like a bad ass. …….

“Yucca, if you’re so afraid of me, we’ll have to leave too, but isn’t it a little terrible that you run away when my husband approaches ……?”

“I’m sorry, I’m still getting used to …… men. ……. No, that’s not all. ……. I’m also a bit intimidated by the other wives. ……

Yucca is not a liar, and as a result, she told me everything herself.

After she became my wife, Yucca stayed in her room most of the time.

At first, Serafina and others tried to ask her out a few times, but after she told me that she was more guarded than I expected, she stopped inviting me out so often.

I guess he simply felt that he and I did not get along. It is true that Serafina and Yucca’s personalities are just the opposite.

And to make matters worse, the marriage itself took place just before my northern expedition, so I was not around much even after the engagement was finalized.

Because of this, Yucca was isolated among the wives and the salons of the maids of honor. Well, isolated is not an accurate word. Yucca herself wanted to be isolated. Even in the Nistonian household, Yucca would hardly ever go out.

That’s exactly what I’m here to solve.

I looked into Yucca’s eyes and said.

“Solution, is it ……?”

“Yucca, there’s no one here but you and me. So I’m gonna make this very clear. I want to make love to you.

Yucca shivered.

Yes, Yucca and I were engaged, but we had never made love.

Actually, this is not so unusual. Many political marriages are made only for the convenience of the family. In the worst case, there was a lord who imprisoned his wife in a tower the day after their marriage.

But that is not a good thing.

If a man does not touch his concubine at all, it can be said that he really used her only for political purposes.

“Let me make an excuse: I have been very busy. Moreover, you were shy and probably afraid of me. So I’ve been putting this off for a long time, thinking that I didn’t need to push it too hard.”

“No, that’s not the Regent’s fault. ……. I too thought that the other wives were not as beautiful as yours and that it was only natural that the Regent was not here. I was also relieved by that.”

I thought that was the truth, too.

Compared to an outgoing woman like Serafina, the shy Yucca was not as flamboyant.

But that does not mean that she was not beautiful. It’s just a different kind of beauty.

“If I’m allowed…”

Gently, I wrapped Yucca’s hands in my own.

“I want to hold you tonight. As a wife.”

I don’t think he’s ever done anything like this before. Yucca’s confused eyes stare back at me.

“If you’re afraid, I won’t force you. If you’re afraid, I won’t force you to do it, because it won’t help if you suffer. I just thought you might get more anxious if I gave you more time. I’ll be out in the war again for a long time.”

I slowly waited for Yucca’s response.
