The Political Marriage of the Beastman Prince and Healer Princess

After separating with Prince Frair, I was taken by Prince Timir and walked in the corridor of the royal palace with Gresis-sama.

“My wife is called Sherry, she’s a leopard beastman. She is the current prime minister Ethan’s daughter, and we’ve been engaged since we were young.”

“Well, that’s wonderful.”
It was like a dream to me that love was nurtured from a young age.

“What I’m going to show you from now is me and Sherry’s private room. We don’t need to have private rooms from each other, so we made it one room for two people.”
“You’re good friends. I’m jealous.”

“You two look good friends enough, don’t you? So, why don’t you just use one room? Hey, Gresis.”
“. . . That’s, well, that’s right.”

Gresis-sama is surely troubled on the inside.
I love Gresis-sama, and Gresis-sama also loves me, and we are certainly in love with each other.

But it seems that Gresis-sama doesn’t want to go beyond that, and I don’t have that courage yet.

Two escort knights were standing in front of the room we were guided to.
“Well, this is our couple’s room. Sherry, I’m home.”
Prince Timir opened the door of the room.

“Sherry, this is Lilith, the wife of Gresis I told you about before.”
I was introduced by His Highness Timir and politely bowed as a lady.

“I’m sorry for bothering you so suddenly. I’m honored to meet you for the first time, I’m Lilith, the wife of His Royal Highness Gresis.”

I was a princess in my country, but here, the crown prince’s wife, Princess Sherry, has a higher status.
I have to be careful not to be rude.

“My name is Sherry. It’s an honor to meet you, Her Royal Highness Princess Lilith. If you call Timir brother, I’d be happy if you call me sister.”

“Then I’ll call you Sherry-oneesama. Please call me Lilith.”
“Yes, Lilith, nice to meet you.”

Her Royal Highness Princess Sherry, who smiles with a bewitching smile, has a beautiful style and appearance that makes it hard to believe that she was pregnant.

It’s going to captivate all men. . .

I was worried and glanced at Gresis-sama.
I was a little relieved because he noticed my gaze and gave me a gentle look.

“I brought Lilith here because I wanted to show her the babies. And while you’re at it, Gresis too.”
“Well, please take a look. Lilith, come here.”

Her Royal Highness Sherry showed me to the crib.
When I approach the crib, I can hear mew mew crying.
Mew mew?

In the bed, there were four baby beasts that looked like newborn cats.

All together, they’re small enough to be about the size of a human baby

“This is. . .”
“Right now they’re beasts, but they’ll turn into humanoids by the time they start walking. They’re all boys. Do you want to hold them?”
“Is it okay? I want to hold them.”

Sherry put a small palm-sized baby on my hand.
I gently pull it to my chest and hug it.

I can’t believe that Gresis-sama had a time when he was so small.

“Oh, how cute.”
I rub my cheeks involuntarily.

“That’s good. Gresis-sama.”
“So you don’t have to worry so much. I told you, didn’t I?”

Suddenly, I was curious when I saw His Royal Highness Sherry and His Royal Highness Timir laughing at Gresis-sama.

“Maybe Gresis-sama, did you think I didn’t like babies?”
“That’s not what I’m saying.”
“If that’s not it, what is it? What were you worried about?”

Maybe it wasn’t my imagination that he didn’t seem energetic earlier.
When I tilted my head and stared at Gresis-sama, he looked a little troubled.

Kukkuh. . . and His Highness Timir began to laugh.

“Hey, Timir, that’s rude.”
Her Royal Highness Sherry, who says so, is also smiling while covering her mouth.

“No, the black demon god is nowhere to be seen.”
“Um… Timir-oniisama, the black demon god is only used during subjugations, and the usual Gresis is very kind, you know?”
“Lilith, I know that.”

Still, the two of them are laughing.
I don’t know why, and when I look at Gresis-sama, he is sighing.

“It seems strange that I’m weak against Lilith.”
“Huh? Gresis-sama is stronger than me, you know?”
“Well, that’s right, but. . .”
Gresis-sama scratched his cheek.

“Ahaha. . . I laughed for the first time in a long time.”
In the end, I didn’t really understand Timir-oniisama’s laughter.

“You can come and play anytime, Lilith.”
“Yes, Sherry-oneesama.”

It was a very happy time not only with my brother-in-law, but also with my wonderful sister-in-law and nephews.

“It’s a little detour, but let’s take a walk in the garden and then go home.”
Invited by Gresis-sama, I headed to the garden of the royal palace.

The sky is cloudy. Not enough to rain. But even though it was still in the morning, the garden felt dark somehow.

“In the past, a beastman and a human woman got married and gave birth to a beastman child.”
While looking forward, Gresis-sama started talking.

“The human woman was shocked to give birth to a beast and became mentally ill, and after abandoning her child, she committed suicide.”

When I squeezed the hem of Gresis-sama’s jacket while he was looking down, Gresis-sama noticed and stared at me.
The yellow eyes like champagne swayed, and it seemed to bleed with sadness.

“That’s why I didn’t want to show you Timir’s children. I was afraid of the reaction when you learned the fact that humans gave birth to beasts.”

The hand that holds the hem of Gresis-sama’s jacket naturally filled with strength.

“I’m not the woman of the past.”
“That’s right, it was a baseless worry.”
Gresis-sama’s expression became calm.

“If it’s a baby with Gresis-sama, I have the confidence to love it no matter what it looks like.”
“Thank you. Also, I’m sorry.”
“?”
I wondered what was wrong with the sudden apology.

“It’s too late, but I said that I don’t intend to love a human before. I’ve always wanted to apologize.”

Since when have you been thinking about such a thing? I love this kind of seriousness.

“I’m happy with that feeling. By saying that you apologize, does that mean that you plan on loving me?”

While laughing, I asked the question as a joke.
Gresis-sama also smiles.

“I already love you.”
He kissed me as if he was eating my lips.
More passionate words and kisses than I thought.

Against me with a bright red face, Gresis-sama is as relaxed as ever.
I’m glad you gave me a nice smile.
But somehow, it’s a little frustrating.

“We got to know more about each other again.”
“That’s right.”

Intertwining each other’s fingers. We left the garden holding hands as if not to let go.

Before I knew it, the light shines through the clouds and I can see the angel’s ladder.

Before I knew it, the area around us was also getting brighter.

 

Angel’s ladder refers to a beam of sunlight.
