Chapter 29 (1/2)

(T/N: h.e.l.lO, IT’S 3AM! So where have I, BlackMaskedPhantom, been? Well, just like you all, I read webnovels, and I was recommended this beautifully funny one. Ended up binge reading it. Whoops. Then I got distracted and totally forgot about updating.

Haha… Well, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter that I worked so freaking hard on. This chapter gave me brain aneurysms. I was seriously struggling and super close to crying! Me, a grown man, crying because I don’t understand. What a beautiful sight…

RAWS:

*POV: Shane*

There was little happening beside for people giving warm blessings, but the wedding ended safely.

Since the wedding ceremony had come to an end, the most concerning thing for me was the ”wedding night” (bridal night).

I was a bit opposed to being held by a man; in addition, I still didn't know much about Leonhart-sama yet. He also had concubines, so I wouldn’t want to hold a man like him at all.

*Nonetheless, I couldn't help but try to put together facts, such as, having circ.u.mstances that I don't know about. I thought that there should at least be some counter measures.

That night, I once again put on some make-up, and I put on a silky negligee. ** The maid-san, who was in charge of my make-up, saw my appearance and left the room satisfied.

Elias showed a complicated expression and handed me a bottle. There was a slightly sticky, pink liquid inside.

”You may be nervous, but His Majesty is a gentlemen, so please be relieved. Since this liquid has an aphrodisiac effect, please use it if necessary. I think it will relieve the pain a little.”

”Oh, thank you.” I said as I received it, but I had no intention of using it.

Elias probably gave it to me out of kindness, but I was still a little embarra.s.sed. He, then, left the room, leaving me alone.

There was still some time until Leonhart-sama was scheduled to come. So I went into action.

First, I removed the makeup that was just applied. I, then, tied my hair together and put on some male clothing I brought from Orania.

I waited for Leonhart-sama; incidentally, these are from when I worked in the garden. (WHAT THE f.u.c.k)

What would Leonhart-sama say if he saw this appearance? The more I thought about it, the more nervous I got.

And then, the door was finally knocked on.

”There you are.”

The door was opened at the sound of my voice; Leonhart-sama, who was lightly dressed, entered the room.

He then looked at my figure, and said, ”When you look like that, you really are a man.”

The answer was too honest and too quick that my nervousness disappeared.

”Yes, I am a man. I wanted Your Majesty to see this appearance at least once, and I dare to do this now. Does it ruin the mood?”

I dared to do this in the first place. (WHAT?)

”No, I just couldn't believe your appearance until now. You also don't need to worry about formal speech when it's just the two of us. So, don't call me 'Your Majesty'. We are a married couple now.”

Even though he was expressionless, it surprised me that his words were gentle.

”Thank you. Then, is it alright if I call you Leonhart-sama?”

”…Leo is fine.”

”Okay, Leo-sama. If you don't mind, would you like to have some tea over there?”

Even though it was just a nickname, I was surprised by how intimate it feels.

I offered some black tea to Leo-sama.

Arranged on the table, there was the item I asked Elias to prepare.

”Shane, what is this?”
