Chapter 193 (2/2)
“Is Allen still a member of the knights?”
“Eh? Allen?”
“Yeah, I thought it would be nice to say hello to him while I’m here.”
“…I-I see.”
Her eyes looked like a dead fish’s for a moment.
I feel bad for Allen.
“If it’s Allen, then yes, he’s still a member of the knights.”
“That’s good.”
I was surprised to hear that she knew what Allen has been up to. Does she still keep in touch with him? Then that means there’s still a chance they can get back together. If she wasn’t interested at all, she wouldn’t care to know the slightest detail about him.
That’s exactly how Ester-chan was to me when we first met.
Thinking back on it caused a sharp pain to run through my chest.
“I’m glad to hear that you and him still keep in contact.”
“Wha-!?”
The moment I said this, Ester-chan’s face hardened.
She made a strange noise and dropped her silverware on the top.
“Y-Y-You’re wrong! He doesn’t mean anything to me at all!”
“Really?”
“Yes, really! I’ve only heard about him indirectly from other people!”
“I see.”
It’s almost like I accused the lolibitch of two-timing me.
I guess with the lolibitch two wouldn’t be enough to satisfy her anyway.
“Whatever the case, I’m glad you know where he’s been.”
As soon as the matters involving the King are taken care of, I’ll see if I can meet up with Allen.
“Y-Yeah, as long as it helps you.”
I took a few small bites of the meal while watching the complex mix of emotions wash over the lolibitch’s face.
It wasn’t a very comfortable situation. Despite the late hour, the cafeteria still had a large number of students eating a late dinner and it felt like all of them were watching us. I could clearly hear a few of them whispering too. I had never experienced this before as Sophia-chan always brought my meals to my room.
I need to do that from now on. I don’t need anyone misunderstanding our relationship and there are already enough rumours about us without me adding fuel to the fire.
I should just finish up this meal as quick as possible and go to my room.
Ester-chan didn’t appear to notice all of the eyes on us. It’s quite impressive. Maybe nobles become used to living in this type of environment.
We left the cafeteria and headed up to our rooms.
We walked upstairs and down the hallway until we ended up in front of our respective rooms. It was the first time I had stood here in a few weeks but it felt like much longer than that. I guess that’s due to the long hours I spent at work in Radius Grasslands creating Dragon City.
We stood in front of our doors.
When Ester-chan suddenly spoke up.
“B-By the way, Baron Tanaka!”
She looked like she was preparing herself to ask something huge.
“What is it?”
“There are no maids here today!”
“I guess that’s true.”
“So, if you’d like, w-we good stay together.”
“….”
I was at a loss for words.
This was an invitation in to have sex.
Even a virgin like me can understand that.
The lolibitch is inviting me in to have sex.
“No, I’m tired after that long flight and I’d like to get some rest to be ready for tomorrow. I don’t think I’d be giving off a good impression to His Majesty if I showed up with bags under my eyes. Thank you for the invitation, but I have to refuse.”
“Then, j-just once! We’ll only do it once!”
“No, that’s still….”
“If I’m doing it with you, I know I can finish right away! You can finish wherever you want outside! Ah, but, if you’d like, you can finish inside too! No, I’d be overjoyed if you finished inside me!”
It looks like she’s given up on all subtlety.
She also sprang this on me so suddenly, that I didn’t have time to prepare myself.
She’s getting dangerous. I need to reunite her with Allen as soon as possible.
Her proposition is very attractive.
“I put a high value on your chastity Viscount FitzClarence. To steal Doris-san’s words, you should not offer your body so willingly to the opposite sex. Your body is precious.”
“….”
“Now, have a good night’s rest, Ester-san.”
If I say any more than this I know I’ll give in.
It’s also true that I want to be rested for our meeting with the King tomorrow.
