I Kidnapped the Hero’s Women Chapter 179

Misunderstanding and Misinterpretation

“My Lord!?”

“…Ah.”

 

At the moment I stumbled, feeling dizzy for a brief second, my maid rushed over to support me.

 

What had I just heard?

Unsure if I had misunderstood, I gathered my courage and asked again.

 

“I didn’t catch it earlier. Could you say it again? What was the gift you mentioned?”

“Ah, my Lord. Why do you keep asking about this? It’s women’s underwear. Julia is of age now, you know.”

“…!”

 

[The Evil God ‘Kali’ is doing its best to preserve your mental health.]

 

Once again, everything went black before my eyes.

 

I nearly lost consciousness as if I had been struck hard on the back of my head.

But thanks to Kali’s help, I managed to retain my wits, barely.

 

‘Julia wearing a bra…’

 

I was stunned. Was I hearing things correctly?

Was this really happening?

 

The shock was so great, I couldn’t even process it properly.

 

I thought I had prepared myself. After all, it’s only natural for children to grow up.

 

Time passes, and children grow.

Isn’t that the natural course of things?

 

That’s why I believed I had prepared well for the shock that would inevitably come, but it hit me far harder than I ever imagined.

It overwhelmed me, far exceeding anything I had expected.

 

‘Why am I reacting like this? I knew this would happen.’

 

Time passes. Whether I like it or not, it moves forward.

 

This is something everyone knows, but until it’s marked by a significant change, it’s easy to forget.

 

Children grow fast, but living with them, seeing their faces every day, I’ve probably become numb to the changes.

 

Now that this change has come before my eyes, I feel the passage of time all at once, as if it’s crashing down on me.

 

Growth of the chest.

A part of puberty.

 

Julia has always been so promising, so it’s not unusual for it to come early.

 

It’s the child’s growth, in a bad sense. In a good sense, it’s the process of becoming a full woman.

 

‘Don’t forget your purpose…’

 

I gritted my teeth, reminding myself once again of my purpose.

 

After all, wasn’t my goal to raise Charlotte, Julia, and eventually Yuri, to marry them?

 

For that goal, the children’s growth is essential.

 

Though I enjoy the innocence and purity of living with children who are still young and unspoiled.

 

I also harbor a wish that this life might continue forever. But that should never be forgotten.

 

This is merely a process toward my ultimate goal. I must not get lost in the process itself.

 

I must let the passage of time unfold naturally.

 

“Uh… My Lord, are you okay? You look pale. Your health doesn’t seem very good…”

“My face has always been pale. Don’t worry about it. You can go back to your duties now.”

“Yes, understood, my Lord. I’ll leave the gift and return to work.”

 

Leaving behind my feeling of devastation, I answered the maid who was looking at me with concern.

 

I’m fine. I will be fine.

This pain is just a trial that will pass.

 

Right now, I’m afraid of losing Julia, of seeing her change.

 

It hurts my heart. But once she matures, Julia will surely become a lovely young lady.

 

If I’ve shared enough moments with Julia, if I haven’t wasted the fleeting time, if I’ve engraved every moment of her growth into my memory.

 

Then, there’s no reason to regret.

 

Now, it’s time to rejoice. Rather than despair over the fact that my limited-time ‘little Julia’ is fading, I should rejoice that she is approaching the age when she can marry.

 

‘I can overcome this…’

 

Once the maids had all left, I closed my eyes tightly, a single tear rolling down my cheek.

 

This is the fate I’ve chosen to bear. I’m not raising a lady who’s been tamed and molded by others, someone who’s lost her value.

 

No, I’m raising these children myself, molding them to my preferences, to one day marry them.

 

There’s pain that inevitably comes with this conviction.

 

As with anything of value, rewards don’t come without hardship.

 

There is no happiness that comes without pain.

 

Once I’ve passed through this pain, I’ll be able to laugh about it in the future, remembering it as a precious memory.

 

That’s just how the world works.

 

[The Evil God ‘Kali’ is greatly concerned about your mental shock.]

 

“I’m fine…”

 

[The Evil God ‘Kali’ sighs in relief.]

 

To ease Kali’s concerns, I mumbled to the air, as if speaking to myself. I managed to force a smile.

 

It had been quite a shock, but I had managed to get through it safely.

 

It was clear my mental strength was quite formidable. That was the moment I confirmed it once again.

 

‘At least Charlotte and Yuri seem far from needing it. Maybe they’ll never need it at all…’

 

Julia had grown so fast, her body developing in ways that made it seem like her growth was entirely focused on her chest.

 

She was already in need of women’s underwear. But Charlotte and Yuri still showed no signs of needing it.

 

Maybe they wouldn’t need it even when they grew older…

 

Of course, it wasn’t that they would never need it. No matter how small, a woman’s chest is delicate and requires protection.

Soon, I might have to buy some for Charlotte and Yuri as well.

 

Of course, I’d have to get Sylvia or the maids to handle it.

 

Even though I’m the type to feel satisfaction from leaving traces in the children’s growth and remembering them when I see those traces, I have a personal philosophy of never invading their privacy.

 

After all, I’m raising them to be wives, not daughters.

 

“The children are becoming women now… It’s a bittersweet feeling.”

 

Swallowing down an inexplicable bitter taste, I let out a small, hollow laugh.

 

Who would have thought that just four months would feel so long?

 

It was all Charlotte, Julia, and Yuri’s fault.

 

Because of them, there was so much to worry about every day, it felt like time was dragging on.

 

“The day for the engagement isn’t far off.”

 

Though marriage would naturally have to wait until they were adults, perhaps it’s time to start preparing for the engagement.

 

I want to aim to have it within two years.

 

I’ll start drawing out the roadmap from now on.

‘Hahhhhhh!’

 

Hiding behind a large flowerpot, Julia, holding her breath as if she were going to burst, covered her mouth.

 

What had she just seen?

 

‘Aslan… cried…!’

 

The man who seemed like he’d never shed a drop of blood had just closed his eyes tightly and shed tears.

Aslan crying.

 

She had hardly ever seen that before…

 

And the reason he was crying could only be one thing when considering the situation.

 

‘Was he moved because I’ve grown…?’

 

The maids had recently been measuring her chest and asking all sorts of questions.

 

It turned out they were preparing to buy her women’s underwear as a gift.

 

Learning this, Aslan was so moved that he cried.

 

That was like a father crying tears of joy over his child’s growth, wasn’t it?

Had Aslan really raised them with pure intentions…?

 

“The children are becoming women now… It’s a bittersweet feeling.”

 

Seeing Aslan with a bitter smile, Julia’s pupils shook violently.

 

Until now, Julia had always suspected that Aslan wanted to marry Charlotte and her quickly, but seeing Aslan with such mixed emotions, feeling sadness and joy simultaneously over her growth, left Julia in great confusion.

 

‘Did he really raise us with the same heart as a father…?’

 

They were strangers to Aslan.

 

They weren’t even noble, they were children of humble origins.

 

And yet, Aslan had taken them in.

 

Whether malicious rumors spread about him, or if they misunderstood and doubted his intentions, Aslan had never cared and simply continued to show us kindness.

 

She felt ashamed.

 

Here she was, receiving so much, yet she had doubted him.

 

Aslan never harbored any ill intentions toward them…

 

‘I must gather my courage.’

 

If Aslan truly has no intention of raising us to be his wives, then she should take the first step herself.

 

As Charlotte said, things are solved when you take the initiative!

 

This is how she’ll repay Aslan’s kindness.

 

With that thought, Julia clenched her fists, ready to gather her courage.

 

“The day for the engagement isn’t far off.”

“…!?”

 

At those thunderous words, Julia froze.

 

Could it be…

Was he planning to marry them off to another noble family…?
