Upon hearing about the Lamba Tribe, Mir, who had awakened, jumped around shouting, “How dare they do such a thing while I’m here! Unforgivable! Our Piamon family declares war on the Lamba Tribe!”

K explained that despite Mir causing a commotion as the Grand Duke, it became an unavoidable situation. The invasion by the Lamba Tribe had become an established fact. Also, as seen earlier, Mir was a noticeable character, so if that friend took action, everyone would be more interested in watching him, and what happened at this mansion would be put on the back burner.
“Then, the extermination of the Lamba Tribe…”

“Don’t worry about it, Rishi.”

“K, I’m not a doll. I wasn’t raised in a greenhouse like a flower. Tell me.”

As Rishi spoke firmly, K gave a wry smile.

“Jamie has already formed a knight order and went out to exterminate with Eugene. Additionally, Eldhert from the Tessei Holy Order and Piamon, the Grand Duke, along with his knights and soldiers, joined forces. Thanks to Mir, the danger has been reduced. The extermination will end without any sacrifices. There’s nothing to worry about.”

“But what if the Lamba Tribe claims that they didn’t do what they’re accused of?”

“That’s why I included Eldie. Eldie has… well, a special ability. What should I call it? Something like mental manipulation?”

“Mental manipulation?”

“Causing confusion in the opponent’s mind, making them carry out our commands. It’s not strong enough to confuse everyone, but if we capture one or two and make them babble about the Earl’s deeds, it should be enough.”

K casually explained as if there were no issues, but it only heightened Rishi’s guilt.

“I’m sorry, K. Everyone is suffering because of me.”

“I told you, don’t apologize. It’s not your fault, Rishi.”

“I did it.”

“It’s a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes.”

“It wasn’t something to be treated as a simple mistake. It almost…”

K covered Rishi’s lips with his index finger. His eyes narrowed.

“Who am I, Rishi?”

“…Huh?”

“I am Kiebrant Green. To me, this is just a small mistake my wife made. No husband gets angry at his wife for breaking a glass, right?”

K spoke with an air of indifference throughout the explanation, and it only stimulated Rishi’s sense of guilt.

“I’m sorry, K. I feel better being thanked. How about that? I have a husband with remarkable abilities, don’t I? Well, you couldn’t defeat the power of using relics. A husband doesn’t need to beat his wife, right?”

Laughter escaped Rishi at K’s words.

K smiled.

“Yeah, Rishi. Just keep smiling like that. That’s enough as a reward for breaking a glass.”

“Thank you, K.”

“It’s better than saying sorry. How about it? I’m quite an impressive husband, huh? Well, you couldn’t defeat the power of using relics, after all. There’s no need for a husband to defeat his wife.”

Perhaps to relieve Rishi’s guilt, K was unusually talkative today.

As her feelings swelled up for him, she thought there was no more room for it to grow, but apparently, it was not the case.

It kept growing.

She wanted to do anything for him.

“K, about that power.”

As soon as Rishi opened her mouth, K suddenly approached and kissed her.

“I kissed you about ten million times while you were unconscious. Did you know?”

Rishi knew that K was trying to change the subject.

“K, listen. About that power I have.”

“Rishi, stop.”

K forcibly pushed Rishi’s shoulders and made her lie down on the bed.

“I need to sleep too.”

“K, don’t do that.”

“I should sleep too.”

“Don’t interrupt me about the power I have…”

As Rishi stubbornly continued, K instantly transformed into a wolf. Then he closed his eyes and covered his ears with his front paws.

It was so cute that laughter burst out from Rishi.
The black wolf opened one eye slightly, confirming Rishi’s smiling face, then closed its eyes again.

Rishi, who had stopped laughing, spoke.

“K, can you hear it? Wolves have good hearing. I have that power…”

“Woof!”

“I didn’t know wolves could bark and howl.”

“Woong!”

“K.”

“Growl.”

“Not scary.”

“Howl.”

“…That’s kind of cute.”

The black wolf playfully rolled over, exposing its stomach.

It couldn’t be helped; with such an adorable display, it was impossible to pretend not to know.

Rishi reluctantly stroked the wolf’s chest and belly.

‘I’ll have a chance to talk about it later.’

+++

The opportunity to talk with K did not come soon.

Whether it was to deal with the Sleeve Stone incident, known to the public as the ‘Lamba Tribe Invasion,’ or to avoid Rishi, it was difficult to meet K.

K came to the bedroom quietly when Rishi was asleep and seemed to slip out of the bedroom before Rishi woke up.

After a few days, the Earl and his wife and Zen returned, leaving only the people of the Earl’s family in the mansion.

Rishi wanted to have a conversation with K about his abilities before it got too late.

In the end, she went to K’s study, but the study was empty.

‘Where on earth did this man go?’

Rishi sat on the meeting table in the study, leaning on her arms, and glared at the study door.

How long had it been since she clenched her fist and glared at the door?

Thud[Dash].

As she opened the door and walked in, Walas, who had been on his way in, jumped.

“Ah! Sister-in-law? What are you doing here?”

“Walas. Where on earth does K usually go?”

“Excuse me? C-Commander… um… haha, that’s right. Where does he usually go?”

Walas couldn’t say that K was wandering in the woods.

Rishi got up and walked towards Walas.

“K, are you really busy?”

“Yes? Oh, yes. The commander is always, well… busy… Is the construction a complete failure?”

“It’s completely ruined. And Walas, do you know that you’re not good at lying?”

“Oh, no. I’m really good at lying. No, no. I mean, I’m not good at it, but what I’m saying now is not a lie.”

“Walas. Tell me. Where is K?”

As Rishi approached, Walas took a step back, but eventually, with his back against the door, he had nowhere to escape.

Although Rishi’s physique was not even half of Walas’s, he couldn’t endure Rishi approaching him so closely.

This petite sister-in-law emitted such a daunting aura.

‘If she goes to the battlefield, she might kill everyone with her momentum alone.’

Avoiding Rishi’s eyes, Walas raised his head. From below the chin, a low murmur from Rishi crawled up.

“Take me to K right now, Walas.”
Feeling the presence of the small beast-like Rishi, Walas thought,

‘Commander, help me a bit. I’m like a delicate deer. I mean, I’m an herbivore.’
