Mysterious Job Called Oda Nobunaga - 141

I slowly waited for Yucca’s response.

I think I did little even to wait. That’s how little time I had for Yucca.

When Yucca became my wife, I already had several wives and lovers. I myself did not have time to take care of Yucca. Right after the northern campaign, I was betrayed by my allies. It was a critical moment. From the beginning of our marriage, we did not have time for a honeymoon.

And Yucca, who was Yucca, was embarrassed by the other wives and hardly came out to the public.

And time was slowly passing.

There was no way to keep this up. He had left his wife alone, even though he had come in later.

Yucca did not open her mouth.

We looked at each other, but gradually Yucca’s eyes started to swim.

I knew Yucca was small-minded. No, it’s probably because I’ve been hanging out with too many special people. It’s natural to be at a loss for words when someone says something like this to you out of the blue.

I really thought that Yucca is a very ordinary girl, apart from her status. There used to be many girls like her when I ruled a village in the countryside. But as I became a lord, they were out of my sight.

“If you are afraid, you can just take a walk in the garden holding hands. If you don’t want to do that, well, you can just …… have a cup of tea with me. Let’s do something that makes you happy.”

I thought I was getting desperate, too.

It’s like I’m trying to make a girl who’s really in love with me.

No. ……. I’m really in love with a girl named Yucca.

Until now I’ve been a lord. I’ve loved someone, but I’ve never been in love. It was a rule that they would be attracted to me, but I never tried so hard to make them fall in love with me.

I am trying to get a girl named Yucca to fall in love with me. It’s the first time.

I bet the men in the towns and villages hit on the girls they fall in love with like this. And they get forgiveness or get dumped …… well, they keep doing it over and over again.

–Ha-ha-ha-ha!　What is a man who is about to take over the world doing!　You must be close to 30 by now. Why are you so deeply in love with such a woman?　You look like a young man of 14 or 15!

Even Oda Nobunaga, a professional, laughed at me. Well, it’s not for a man who aspires to be king to be in love with someone.

I just want to make my wife happy.

And I’ve left her alone, even though she’s technically my concubine.

I was trying to make up for it somehow.

–Your original thought was not strange. It was your intention to go to the province of Shara while you still can so that the Nistonians can send their troops there as well. No mistake. If you show your face, Solstice Nistonia will be on the same side as you. The province of Shahra is close to the capital. You’re the right man to look after him.

Oda Nobunaga continues his commentary in my head.

–But then you were wondering about the daughter of this concubine of the Nistonian family. And you’ve been preoccupied with her, haven’t you? Of course it would be better to be able to report to your father-in-law that you are on good terms with the concubine, but you are the regent. They don’t care about that.

I told you I want to make my wife happy.

I want to make as few unhappy women as possible. And to think that you don’t look out for your own wife.

Yucca looks me up and down again.

“Hmmm!　Regent, it’s not right!”

He laughed out loud. But there were tears in her eyes.

“I’m just a poor girl of a humble lord,” she said. I can’t even compare to the beauty of Serafina, Rumi, Raviara, and Fleur. And yet, and yet …… you look at me so seriously. ……”

Yucca rested her body against my chest.

“I know I’m a tramp, but please love me. ……. I don’t know what I’m doing, but I’ll do everything I can to help you. ……

“Thank you, Yucca.”

I hugged Yucca’s body tightly. I thought she was light.

I thought she was light.

After that, Yucca and I had our wedding night. It was a really late wedding night.

Yucca seemed to have a hard time, but at the end she held my hand in bed.

“I may be a bit cheeky, but I think I know the secret of the Regent’s strength.

“Secret?”

Yucca smiled and said.

“No other man in my position would take me so seriously. It’s beyond profit and loss, isn’t it? It is impossible for ordinary people to try to accomplish something beyond profit and loss.

“Oh, so that’s how it is.”

There may be no regent in history who would work so hard for the love of a single woman in such a situation.

However, there was one thing I did not like.

“Yucca, don’t use the expression ‘I don’t care’ anymore. This is an order from the regent.”

I said in a slightly stiffer voice.

“You’re beautiful enough. Don’t lower yourself to such trivialities. You’re one of the Regent’s wives.”

“……Yes, I will be careful from now on. ……”

In bed, Yucca nuzzled her face into my chest once more.

“I am happy that you love me. I’m really, really ……”

It took a while, but I think we did it right. Hopefully, this relationship will last for years to come.

Tomorrow we are going to the Nistonians, but it is okay if we sleep a little less.

That night I asked for Yucca again.
