I hadn’t planned on taking a nap, but when I recovered my consciousness, it was already night.
Although my boots were taken off, but I was still wearing my daytime outfit. I thought that I hadn’t unfastened several buttons around my breasts, but perhaps I loosened them myself since I wasn’t able to sleep well.
The field trip around the castle was fun, but in the first place, it wasn’t that tiring, so I was thinking of what I was doing, and then I stiffened.
Until I fainted, Orgueil was… intensely kissing me.
(—-Incomprehensible. But I get the feeling that I’d bring an unnecessary trouble if I were to ask what he meant by doing that.)
In order to gaze at the scenery outside the window as the sun fell, I squirmed and crawled out of the spacious bed.
The bedroom I shared with Leon-sama—speaking of which, the bedroom where I slept completely naked was his personal bedroom, so it wasn’t this place—was located in a wonderful location worthy of praises.
Of course, the living room where I usually spend my time during the day, and Leon-sama’s, too, each has their own wonderful scenery that one can enjoy, but the scene from this bedroom at the end of the corridor allows one to enjoy the scenes from both living rooms almost all at once, and it can be summed in just one word: magnificent. The city streets seen from my room and the other side’s castle garden and the unified style building attached to the castle. Both of them are so beautiful whether it’s day or night that it makes one sigh.
Now is night. There are lamplights glowing in the town. From the town, one could tell the glory and prosperity of Gladius family’s stronghold. Even when night comes, the town’s liveliness could be heard, and there are bright lights in the houses and lots of towers. On the opposite side, within the castle, the garden’s illuminated by the bonfire. The small figures of the distinguished ladies noisily admiring it could be seen. As if it’s a nightless city.
(It’s like having a long dream.)
It has only been 10 days. It’s already been 10 days. I’ve been spending each day losing myself in a daze, but only 10 days have passed by. Every morning, I’m still thinking whether I’ll be back to my original world once I open my eyes, but this is the reality, and I’ve clearly realized that I won’t return to my original world again.
(–I wonder what Orgueil is thinking. He is Leon-sama’s subordinate. And, Leon-sama is…)
My guardian. Of course, there’s supposed to be the given inclusion of a relationship between a man and a woman. It’s not like I dislike it. On the contrary, I think I quite like him. Perhaps, it was my own opinion, though. After all, we only just met, and we haven’t had much conversation to know each other better. It might be silly even for me to say it, but when I first met him as I was naked, I felt like I had been attracted to him ever since I watched him openly praise Orguiel who was his subordinate.
(–But, that subordinate of his, Orgueil…)
Isn’t it bad for him to kiss me that intensely?
I intended to have a change of mood by looking at the scenery from the window, but in the end, my thoughts returned to that.
I couldn’t understand, but did something within Orgueil suddenly get broken? Did a switch inside him get flipped? But I didn’t know where this switch of his was in, so I couldn’t set up any measure. Aa, for example, what kind of conversation did we have before it became like that?
(–We talked about Alph do Lily. About how he’s loose around women…)
And then, why did he kiss me? As expected, I am completely clueless.
Well, but… does that mean talking about Alph is dangerous? It might be good for me to refrain from touching that topic myself next time.
After thinking about that, my feelings slightly calmed down.
I asked the maids to let me have a light dinner before I slowly enjoyed an early bath.
Then, I took the prepared nightclothes to wear, but…
–It was a transparent one.
The usual nightwear also had only one ribbon, perhaps thinking of the extra work it would take to take it off if it were made with lots of ribbons. I already accepted this as part of my role, though. But the nightwear today shook me.
It was fascinatingly a see-through. It was way too unabashed.
It’s a nightwear that is similar to a silk dress as light as a feather. The light green color is slightly similar to the green marble in the bathroom. The light green color is visually gentle to one’s eyes, so as something that I need to wear during the night, I have no objection with the color. I know from the texture and the delicate embroidery that it’s a high-grade stuff, though.
My body’s shape and lines are very obvious, even the tip of my breasts, and the private part below my navel, with the right amount of light, they are completely visible. Thinking about the thing from this morning, with a bit of motive, it might be just a matter of time before our relationship turned into ‘that sort of a thing’, but not with this kind of nightwear. It sent off the aura of, “By any means, welcome!”
Just what am I suddenly thinking? Anyway, I can’t wear this kind of unthinkably embarrassing thing.
I basically tried not to have any complaints with what the maids had selected (each time it was hard to say something as they put a lot of spirit to it), but thinking that this was too immodest, I was about to ring the bell installed in the bathroom to have the maid who withdrew before to come back, when…
“—Quite a long bath you have there, Rivea.”
Opening the door without even knocking, Leon-sama appeared while wearing just a loose robe as he was wiping his newly washed hair.
