Reborn As Noble Chapter 1198: Co-Wife’s Daring Pose ( 1198 )

Garius, Francesca, and the rest observed Giddie standing proudly, peering down at Buddy, who had bowed his head and fixed his gaze on the earth.

"Cuquawked!! Cuquawked!!"

Buddy continued staring downward, twitching his talons nervously while letting out a quiet squawk.

"Cuquawked..."

Garius chuckled upon seeing Giddie squawk more fiercely, forcing Buddy to straighten up with his wings rigidly pressed to his sides.

Francesca gave a gentle laugh and looked over at Garius. "Shall I translate what Giddie is scolding our youngest son’s Pekko for?"

Without waiting for Garius to respond, Francesca started talking, hands planted on her hips as she leaned in like she was chastising a youngster.

"How many times have I told you not to cause trouble!? Hmm?"

"Just because you’re strong now doesn’t mean there aren’t dangers out there!"

"Don’t forget, your master will worry sick if something happens to you. You’re no longer a child Pekko. You’re grown up now. Start behaving like an adult!"

Francesca went on interpreting Giddie’s squawks directed at Buddy, who stayed completely quiet.

Garius smiled while watching Francesca’s translation, then shifted his eyes to his massive golden Pekko far off in the distance.

Francesca grinned and drew closer to Garius.

"Dear?"

"Hmm?" Garius averted his gaze from Giddie to Francesca. "What is it, honey?"

"Do you still remember?" Francesca chuckled lightly.

"Remember what?" He cocked his head slightly, puzzled.

"How you ensured our youngest son got his first Pekko?"

"Ah... you mean when he slipped out of the estate to the nearby village, and we had Liana pursue him?" Garius grinned.

"Yes. Back when he first snuck out from the estate, where you kept ’refusing’ to allow him to head to the closest town the night he requested permission..." Francesca smiled, narrowing her eyes at him.

"Mm... the time I pretended to be a furious father and cited his obsession with play over studies as the reason~"

"Yes. Leveraging our first and second sons as top and runner-up students at the Royal Academy as the pretext, though we knew he’d sneak out regardless. He never cared for ranks or accolades and planned to test his strength against the monster by the forest... the one you arranged, while dispatching the Shadow Leader and his squad to trail him discreetly and stage that beast for his debut encounter~"

Garius shook his head with a smile. "Well... that was for his initial trial. Anyway, it was ages ago."

"Really? Hmm? Yet you knew he’d visit the Pekko farm you own."

Garius looked at Giddie, still berating Buddy, as Francesca gazed at Giddie and pressed on.

"You even arranged a dwarven merchant—from the Rasdingen Clan, that is—to ’purchase’ all the monsters he slew, so he could earn coin for his first Pekko." Francesca eyed Garius sharply. "And you transferred Buddy from the elite Pekko zone near the estate’s barracks to the regular farm, knowing our Honey Bun would pick Buddy as his very first Pekko~"

Garius looked aside and gulped. "I... I don’t know what you’re talking about, honey."

"Ara ara~ You think I didn’t notice you hid all the Pekkos beforehand? And created a secret farm just for them~? Where you stashed Giddie and the rest, hmm?"

Garius whistled innocently and averted his eyes, as Alf smirked while fixing his glove, and Erinette beamed while straightening her maid outfit.

"You truly aimed to legitimize Pekkos in Armand, but bided your time. You waited until our youngest brought Buddy and Liana’s Pikko along, stirring some chaos to flaunt them in the royal capital. You covered the damages from Buddy and Pikko back then. And when the moment arrived..."

Francesca’s eyes gleamed with delight. "I still recall the first time you paraded before our son astride the King of All Pekkos, Giddie, flaunting to Javier and Buddy who the true sovereign was. And I remember the day you finalized it all. Pekkos became Armand’s sole officially acknowledged monster bird, unmatched by other realms."

Garius emitted a gentle laugh and shook his head. "Alright... I confess. But everything worked out perfectly, right?" He turned to Alf and Erinette. "Alf? Erinette?"

"Yes, Your Majesty?"

"The girls in the Mathrias maid dresses—inspect them thoroughly for any residual manipulation and heal them if necessary."

Francesca inflated her cheeks. "I’m not done talking yet, dear!"

Garius leaned close and planted a kiss on her cheek. "Aw, come on. That’s ancient history. Let’s focus on now, okay?" He flashed his most captivating smile at Francesca.

"Hmmph!" Francesca folded her arms and turned away, cheeks puffed out.

Garius sighed, preparing to sweet-talk her, when a buzzing noise and Mylezra’s voice emanated from his mana smartphone.

Francesca squinted at him teasingly. "Check your mana phone. Bet it’s Mylezra—we all recorded your ringtones with our voices, recall?"

Garius fished the mana phone from his pocket, the one Javier had gifted him. "Uh... which button?"

Francesca sighed and bent over to assist. "Here, dear. Tap this and..." She froze as the display illuminated, revealing Mylezra’s image in a provocative stance, leaning in with ample cleavage, peace sign with one hand, tongue playfully out to the side.

"Oh my~ Didn’t realize my fifth co-wife was so audacious~" Francesca giggled. "Wonder where she picked up that adorable, cheeky pose~"

Garius simply shook his head as Francesca tweaked her dress to reveal more cleavage, drew his head to her bosom, and snapped an ideal photo.

"H... honey?"

"Oh, shush, dear~ It’s yours regardless." Francesca concentrated on the lens with Garius’s head nestled against her breast, posing boldly and confidently.

"But... honey... we’re in front of everyone," Garius murmured from between her breasts.

"So what? I’m your wife and Queen, you’re my husband and King~ Plus, this is the ideal shot to share with my co-wives~"
