The Third Prince Want a Slow Live

 Today, I am guiding Salte around my territory.

The half-elf Salte stands out quite a bit even when she's disguised, but strangely enough, there hasn't been a single person who stared at her strangely.

Well, the fact that I am living with half elf have already been spread in the territory, just that I didn't think that people would accept her so easily. 

Or rather, I was surprised that so many people recognized Salte as my new fiancée.

 ``Ah, the lord is surrounded by girls again''?

Of course, I haven't heard that voice, but I can feel that kind of gaze, or I might be overly self-conscious.

Since I already have four fiancées, I can understand why they think like that after seeing a new girl next to me.

《 Master, the people here are all kind. 》

 We went into a nearby store to ordered peach juice, and are waiting.

Since I am alone with Salte today, there is no one to be jealous if we speak in Elvish, so she is able to speak normally.

I understand that Cecil is easy to get jealous, but she doesn't say much about Philia and Flora, like she does for Shalltear, or maybe she doesn't care?

Well, they're all cute, aren't they?

 《 Is that do ? But, there are many peoples, are you okay? 》

《 Everyone has gentle eyes like master. 》

By the way, I'm just going to precise that I didn't force Salte to call me Master.

Salte isn't my slave, so I don't think she should call me that, but she says that she is most comfortable calling me like that.

I've gotten a little used to being called Master, but the word Master still makes me feel weird.

Even so, do I have such kind eyes?

"Ohh? I will live here in a few years, so…”

 " I will go anywhere with Master"

It's like a baby bird's imprinting...

 If you look at it objectively, yes.

 You can call it a kind of dependence.

That said, it would be better for Salte to have a place to rest her heart.

I don't mind her being dependent on me, and I'm going to make sure that she is happy, so there's no problem.

  Well, what would she do if I die... that is a quite difficult Situation to ponder about.

As a half-elf, Salte has a longer lifespan than a normal human, so I don't have to worry about her dying before me, By that time, my children, grandchildren, or even great-grandchildren will probably be around, and she should join me after watching over my cute descendants... I wonder if it is okay to think like that.

If we have a child, he will surely become an irreplaceable existence for Salte.

  …… Well, I naturally thought of the possibility of marrying Salte, but that’s it.

 I will make it reality only if Salte want it.

  " Lord-sama. This is your command."

  "Thank you"

  "Is that your new wife? She's a lovely young lady. I'm looking forward to the birth of your child."

Salte's cheeks blushed cutely at the shopkeeper's words.

 She's not good at speaking, but she's a good listener.

She understood the meaning properly, and got embarrassed, so cute.

《 Hee, there is really a half-elf. 》

Suddenly, I heard a female voice different from mine and Salte.

Moreover, it seems that it was Elvish just now...

And when I turned my gaze to her, a deeply hooded woman was raising her hand at the counter seat.

While was wondering if she was the one who spoke, the woman approached and took off her deep hood.

Then a beautiful face with long ears and beautiful green eyes appeared before me.

However, Salte was extremely surprised when she saw that feature.

Well, I'm a little surprised, too.

 The customers in the store were also surprised, but I think the woman also got surprised after seeing how they quickly returned to normal.

《 I want to say that was a beautiful elf language for a human 》

《 Master is better than me 》

Yes, to my surprise, for some reason, there is someone from the elves race

who wasn't supposed to be here, since they don't like to have contact with humans, in my territory. 

After calming down the slightly frightened Salte, I asked the woman.

《Are you an adventurer? judging  from your appearance...》

《Well, I was a S ranked in the past 》

I don't know when that past was... she is an elf with immortal youth, so I wouldn't be surprised if she looks young but is older than humans with the same look.

 《 You don't have to be so cautious.  Because I wouldn't do anything to that half-elf girl.  Or rather, I heard that the lord here is an oddball, to think that it was true.  It's the first time I've seen someone with a half-elf like this and being good to her》

Even an elf treat me as a weirdo... Well, I don't really care.

Looking at the elf woman, I asked a question after letting my guard down a little.

《 So do you need something 》

《 Oh sorry. To think that I just came to talk to you like that.  My name is Sophia.  As you can see, I am a weird one among elf.  Nice to meet you eccentrics, lord. 》
