Dressing himself back up, the Shield Hero went on the hunt for the second princess. Naofumi found Melty with relative ease. She was not hard to comprehend in terms of where she would be. Mirellia had not told him, but he was able to guess. Coming upon the princess playing with her half-brother—with Naofumi's son—who was still acquainting himself with his fingers.
"Shield Hero." She greeted him coldly. Keeping her eyes on her brother. Doing everything she could not to look at him. To not be reminded of what she had seen, how he was violating the sanctity of her parents' marriage. "If you are seeking my mother, she is in her study."
"I know." Naofumi told her, sounding more serious than usual. "I came to talk to you." Not surprising Melty much.
She had anticipated this. She knew that her mother would have to discuss things with her lover—either to end their love affair or come together stronger than ever and decide how to resolve the matter (having hoped for the former)—so not she would chide Hal's father.
"If this is about my catching the two of you in the act, I am not in the wrong here." he began, much to Naofumi's frustration. "You have taken advantage of my mother in a vulnerable state and I will not stand for it."
"Advantage…? Who do you think I am—Motoyasu?"
"I can understand that Father has wronged you, but impregnating my mother—the Queen of Melromarc—is going too far." she continued, unaware she had hit a nerve.
"That's why you think that happened?" his voice sounded almost offended in tone. And he was, but not for the reasons Melty might have presumed. Not even offended for the accusation against him but offended for Mirellia. "You honestly think I would use your mother to get back at your old man?" Admittedly it began as an impulsive expression of attraction, then a desire to savor the feeling of being alive, but Naofumi had not ever perceived Mirellia—not once—as a means of revenge. He did want her to himself, but he cared for her. "Melty, this was never about your father or settling some vendetta."
"Do you love her?" Melty blurted out abruptly. "Do you love my mother as a woman?"
"Of course, I do."
Melty's face went pale. She was shocked, but it was true. Naofumi did, in his own way, love Mirellia. He never wanted to lose, especially now that she had given birth to his son.
"Melty, if I didn't, do you think I would have slept with her? Let alone continue to do so without using it as ammo against trash once or twice" he did not shy from it and was straight to the point. "I do love Mirellia. I want to be with her every chance I get."
At that, Melty fell silent. It was not as if she expected him to say something to the effect of yes to her accusation. But she also did not expect him to make such a declaration. "I see…" he muttered. "Does this mean I should begin calling you 'father?'"
"No. Of course not." Naofumi assured her. "I'm not your father. Trash is. '' he said with a sly smirk. I'm not aspiring to replace him."
"I…." Melty pinched the bridge of her nose. He was not even beginning to alleviate her anger. But Melty was not so much mad at her mother and the Shield hero as she was that she now knew—that she was aware of their ongoing royal affair—and she not could never unknow it. She perhaps could have been happy for her mother. Her father had more than devolved into embarrassment and thus she could imagine her mother had lost any love she once felt for him so perhaps it was imaginable for her eyes to begin to wander in search of someone suited to satisfy her need. But she wished it had been anyone else. "Very well. I will not inform any one of what I witnessed but at least attempt to conceal this better."
"Understood."
Naofumi prepared to leave when she asked one other question "Do Filo or Raphtalia know of this?"
"Um…no." Naofumi was ignorant as to why she thought he would divulge that information to his party. He was trying to keep this a secret after all.
Melty sighed disappointedly.
Melty and her custodians joined the Shield Hero's party at the beach. As she watched, holding her half-brother in hand, Filo and them approached, she noticed a particularly scowling face absent. So she asked "Where is Sir Naofumi?"
"Mr. Naofumi said he needed to speak with the Queen for a moment." Raphtalia told them.
"I…I see." Melty knew instantly where they had gotten off to. But still she chose to lie. "They are probably discussing matters of state."

"Yes…" Mirellia moaned as she was pressed against the rocks, her fingers clinging to the rocks as water splashed into her and Naofumi. "Yesss. Aaahhh!" Her posterior bounced against Naofumi's waist as his manhood ravaged her from behind. Holding her by the waist with a smile. Feeling pleasure reverberates throughout every fiber of her being.
Suddenly she was pulled away from the rock and into Naofumi's hold. Reclining her back against his chiseled chest. Feeling one hand grip tightly to her left breast as he whispered "Let's make this a memorable vacation.
"I agree, sir Naofumi." Mirellia smiled as she glanced over her shoulder to face him, leaning her lips into a kiss.
Parting their lips, Mirellia smirked as she told him "Now it is my turn at leading." Before bringing him to the beachy shore, where she rested him on sand and mounted him. Stroking her hips back and forth with an aroused expression "My love…ah!...ah!" and bucking her hips whilst Naofumi groped her breasts.
"Mirellia…" the Shield Hero moaned, jerking up with a smile as he admired her body. Kissing her as the Queen continued to ride him like a saddle. Wrapping an arm around the wasit of her voluptuous body.
Parting from his lips, the Queen gazed up at the beautiful sky, smiling whilst she moaned back to him "Sir Naofumi…" and stroked her hip forward into him. Having some intuition that she would be bearing another child soon. Before long leaning back into his lips for an enthralling kiss. "I beseech you, my love, impregnate me once more."
Spinning them to his left, finding himself once again on top, Naofumi told her with a smile "My pleasure." before he began to thrust more intensely into her as her arms clung to him. She would have another child; he would ensure that. If he could help it, Naofumi would spend every waking day shagging her until she began to grey.

Before her stay in the region was concluded, Mirellia would find herself again in the early stages of bearing the fruit of the Shield Hero's loins.
In the midst of their passionate fornication, as Naofumi and Mirellia dedicated their every waking moment of (what they presumed was) isolation to feeling alive and pleasure erupted between them, a exquisite beauty's head protruded out from the water.
It was Sadeena.
She had accompanied the Shield Hero's party to visit the retreat but had taken to exploring the local waters. It was by chance she had caught the two lovers—who remained ignorant of her existence, for they were too lost in their passionate embrace with their fingers interlocked to notice her—in the adulterous act; and upon witnessing it could only think to mutter to herself "What have we here?" with a smile.
The following morning Naofumi was sore. His waist felt as if it was seconds away from collapsing within him. He and Mirellia spent so much time in a union that he was barely able to walk, however, he forced himself to endure.
Mirellia had the fortune of a carriage and seclusion. Naofumi was not so fortunate.
Sadeena noticed, leaning herself closer in the carriage, she asked in a whisper "Are you feeling well, Naofumi?"
"Fine." he grumbled. "I just can't wait to return to the village."
"Some rest will do you well, perhaps." She rested a hand on his shoulder. "Or would you prefer to take a chance of staying at the castle?"
That caused Naofumi to glance at her curiously.
