Fiancée of the Wizard Volume 8 Chapter 7 Part 1

Then, a season passed after returning from the Schtorenvihein estate to the capital. Currently, it was spring. It was warm and sunny in the capital today. The capital was filled with people who were excited for the day. Usually, the capital had a large population, but today the capital seemed especially lively. That was a matter of course. It was because today was the second time the big festival was going to be held since the destruction of the demon lord.
The capital was decorated with flowers all over. The lively city was colored vividly. Just seeing this sight excited one’s heart. I could not say with confidence that I did not want to jump into the scene at all. However, I shall be quiet for today.
This place was one room of the separate palace building some distance away from the main palace building. It could coincidentally completely see the balcony that was jutting out the front of the main church. At this balcony, I was sitting on a chair that I had brought out from the room. I was looking down at this boisterous and lively capital. My stomach had gradually become bigger; thus, I could not force myself to do much. Hence, the princess had prepared this room for me. 「Leave it up to me」. I had heard so from her. Nonetheless, I did not expect her to give me such a special seat. Really, I could not thank her enough.
I sighed, and then softly rubbed my stomach that had become bigger. The dress that I had prepared for this festival was usually made to be quite loose. However, the dress I was currently wearing had a design that was even more loose fitting than that. That was because my big stomach held two babies.
「What a nice wind」
I naturally loosened my expressions at the warmth of the gentle wind that caressed my cheeks. With no reason, I stood up from the chair, and leaned against the railing, with my body jutting out. By doing so, I could feel the wind with my whole body even more. Ah, it is spring. I thought so with great reflection. Then, I heard a voice that called me in a name that had become quite familiar to me these few months.

「Mother」
「Oh, Estra」

Smiling upon hearing this voice, I turned around. Before I had noticed, the boy——Estrella Von Lancent had entered the balcony. Earlier, he had officially become our son. It seemed that he was looking intently at me with his hands behind his back.
I could not help but look intently at him. He awkwardly shifted around and looked away.
「…….Um, can you not look at me like that」
「Hehe, sorry. Because you are so splendid and amazing」
At my lavish compliment, Estrella reddened his face. I almost laughed again at his cute reaction. However, I don’t think what I said was wrong.
Estrella’s thin body had now gained some muscle through these few months. It had become a body that was alike others of the same age. His preciously sharp jaw and sunken cheeks had become rounded. Originally, he had a proportionate look. However, it had become even more attractive. His ash grey hair that had been all over the place had now become beautifully arranged. It was a little longer than his shoulders, and was bundled into one. His deep and dark midnight blue noble’s clothing had some whitish silver meticulous stitching woven into it. It was made for this day. He almost looked like he was a messenger that would invite the calm night. It was as if he was a real prince from some story. I would not be embarrassed to showcase him anywhere.
However, his transformation did not stop there. The most significant change was with his ears and tail. Instead of a whitish silver beastly ears, there were human ears. The tail that always hung there was not there. Within these few months, Estrella had learned how to control the godly powers within him. By containing the godly powers, he had gained the ability to hide his beastly ears and tail.
If Estrella himself intends to do so, he could easily show it. However, today it seemed that he had been told to obediently keep it hidden. For me who liked those beastly ears and tail, it was a little disappointing. Nonetheless, I shall endure just for today. There would be plenty of opportunity to see…….and even touch those ears and tail.
Had he known my inner thoughts or not? Estrella seemed to be worried and wavered his yellow eyes that looked like beautiful stars.
「Are you sure you don’t want to remain seated? 」
「It is alright. You are such a worrisome person」
This was because today I was especially in very high spirits. It was a waste to remain immobile. However, my son still wordlessly offered me a chair. I wryly smiled. Hm, there must be no choice. Upon his urging, I sat down on the chair I had originally been sitting on.
「You, Estra really say the same things as Edi」
「Dr. Lindeburg asked both dad and I to take care of you」
Currently, Estrella was finally calling me mother and the man father. Nevertheless, it took quite a long time to reach this stage. I did not force him, but I had wished if possible, he would call me so. It seemed that my thoughts were very obvious, because Estrella really put in the effort. Initially, he had become so embarrassed that he could not properly call us. Nevertheless, currently, he could naturally call us 「Father」「Mother」. I was happy about this.
After returning from the capital, Dr. Lindeburg had once again become my main doctor. The Dr. had learned of our circumstances and thanked Estrella again. Saying, 「I offer my apologies for trying to judge you based on my stereotypes」
At this honest and polite apology, Estrella really did panic. Since then, every time Dr. Lindeburg comes to my place to see me, together with the man who is my husband, Estrella would accompany me. He would really care about my body every single time something happened. As much as his schedule allowed for it, he watched over my actions. At his attitude, the man chuckled 「At this rate, I do not know who is the guardian」. I could only drop my shoulders at this. Well, I had sidetracked.
Being such a reliable son, Estrella was again worried about me today. However, this time around, his face had much more nervousness than usual. Well, it could be said that there was no choice to this.
This was because the big festival this time around was not just a normal celebration of the harvest. It was the official ordination of the descendant of the “good winter wolf”, the “guardian of the beloved child of the goddess”. That meant the festival also meant a showcase of Estrella.
——Before we had returned from the Schtorenvihein estate to the capital, there was an announcement from the palace to the public.
The announcement said: The royal head magician had not been supervising a demon, but a person of godly blood. That the god had been sent from the heavens by the goddess for her beloved child. Although the god had been captured by the demon, through Agedilus Von Lancent’s works, he had been freed. Now he had finally been able to return to his role as the guardian of the holy maiden princess.
At this announcement, it was not that there was no confusion in the public. It was not easy to accept another godly presence other than the goddess now. However, using her authority and her own popularity, the princess wiped out all kinds of criticism against this. Those tabloids were about to make havoc about how the man had betrayed and sided with the demons. However, raising their forceful actions in the past to question, the princess had officially exposed their wrongdoing. 「It was wrong to even let them be until now」, princess said. How reliable of her.
Inside the church, there seemingly were some priests who had resisted as well. However, to them, a boy that guards the princess who represents the church meant that the church’s “holiness” was further elevated. All the more it is the goddess’ will—–with such persistent persuasion, apparently, she had somehow managed to convince them.
With such efforts, the showcase of Estrella had been delayed till today. Then, today. Finally. I was happy that I could see my son’s showcase finally. I was intending to carve the sight of him into my memory. That was alright. That was, nonetheless.
「Hey, Estra. Aren’t you hot in that? You don’t need to force yourself to wrap that around you alright? 」
「It is fine. How many times have I told you that I am wearing it because I want to do so」
「Yes, but…… 」
As Estrella said so with so much confidence, I could no more. Around his neck was a lavender-colored scarf. I did not need to explicitly say how it was a present that I had woven and given to him last time. He had gone out of his way to go back to the estate and retrieve it, since he had forgotten it there. Estrella did not budge when it came to wearing it and attending the ordination ceremony.
