Chapter 29.1

Just when I thought that the room where I had been confined for a short time and Ria-sama, who was smiling and waving, disappeared, I found myself being carried to  Gilbert-sama’s bedroom, which I had visited once before.

I wondered if all of the demons could move from one place to another in an instant.

It’s convenient, but its flaw is that it lacks emotion because you can’t enjoy the scenery while traveling. It takes time, but it is also nice to walk on your own feet or ride in a carriage. I wondered if Gilbert-sama had ever ridden in a carriage. Since he doesn’t need any means of transportation, he doesn’t seem to need horseback riding, so it’s questionable whether there’s a carriage here. When he sat me down on the bed, Gilbert-sama sat down beside me, took my arm and stared at me. Ria’s restraint with the ivy was just the right amount of force, so it didn’t hurt and didn’t leave any marks. As expected of someone with perverted hobbies, he was very skilled at it.

“Gilbert-sama, I have something to apologize for.”

It’s not a good idea to leave things unsaid.

I decided to apologize for yesterday’s incident, but Gilbert-sama seemed to be very angry and stared at me.

“Which one do you have to apologize for? There are too many things that I can think of that need your apologies.”

“For Yesterday.”

“Oh, that one… That was my fault, too.

I know you have things you don’t want to talk about, too. I shouldn’t have tried to force it out of you.”

“That’s not true.To say I was tired was an excuse. You invited me to dinner, but I didn’t act the way I should have. I am sorry.”

I apologized and and casted my eyes down

“Lydith, there are times when I don’t really understand whether you’re stubborn or honest. I don’t really care about your attitude.”

I smiled in relief as I was able to gain his forgiveness. I am glad I got a chance to apologize. If I had just left him and died in the woods, I would have been left with  regret which was unlike me.

“Has Ria done anything to you?” Gilbert asked with a hesitant tone.

“No, nothing.”

“I’m sure you were scared. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you how much he hates me, the existence of a king.”

“No,he was good to me. He saved me from  danger and healed my wounds. Master Ria was polite and gentlemanly.”

“Are you serious? He almost made you his plaything with your arms tied up”

“I’m sure you can’t blame him. It’s only natural that everyone would want to have me in their hands when they come face to face with me.”

I frowned and sighed in distress

I am always prepared for such things. I’ve heard that the youngest princess of a neighbouring country was attacked by bandits and disappeared, and I’ve just been lucky so far, but that doesn’t mean the same thing won’t happen to me…

It was easy to melt Ria’s cold and frozen heart with my deep affection, and I can say that I was right in my choice and determination.

But what lies ahead is unknown, so it would be a lie if I said I wasn’t scared

“But thank you… for coming to my rescue. You, Gilbert-sama, have been helping me all the time”

“If you feel that way, stay where I can see you. It’s not good for you to be alone.”

“I can’t do that. But if Gilbert-sama would touch me, I would consider it.”

The fact that Gilbert-sama, who saved me from being stolen by someone else, and I, who was wounded, were on the bed, you don’t have to think about it to get that kind of atmosphere.

If you don’t fulfill your feelings now, when will you do it, Gilbert-sama? Now is the time for you to have the courage to abandon your pure body. I know that Gilbert-sama is a serious, sincere, and modest person in spite of his rough appearance and tone of voice, but I am wondering when I will be able to touch him if I don’t touch him now.

When I looked up at Gilbert-sama with eyes full of anticipation, he looked away as if he was troubled.

“Is there something you want to ask me?”

“I’d like to ask you Gilbert-sama, whether you like me to be tied up like Ria-sama did or not, or something like that? In that case, for me, it would be ideal for you to take it easy and be gentle with me for my first time, but I will accept it.

“Calm down, Lydith, I’m not interested in that kind of thing. I’m a little more serious than that, but it’s getting ridiculous…

“I am calm, though. So you have a more specific, unexplainable hobby? I’m fine. I’m sure I can handle any special hobby.”.

“Don’t assume that I have any particular proclivities. I’m normal, maybe. Except for the part where I’m in love with a strange woman like you.”

Gilbert-sama reluctantly said In a low voice

He was so Cute. It’s great to be honest.

In order to praise him, I sat on Gilbert’s laps and hugged him from the front

I was clinging to him because he was bigger than me, but I managed to stretch my body and embraced his head and stroke his hair.

His hair looked stiff, but it was surprisingly soft to the touch.

Since  Aria, a werewolf, gave birth to him,it would be nice if he had beast ears like Ria. But he didn’t.

“Dear Gilbert-sama, everyone has a troubled past. Speak to me when you want to. I will not judge.”

I am intelligent, and I know what Gilbert-sama wants to say.

I’m glad that my little joke seems to have taken the weight off his shoulders.

Of course, even if Gilbert-sama really has a special sexuality, I am going to accept it, so he doesn’t have to worry.

But still, inheriting past memories is a tricky thing, isn’t it?

Even I, who am living my second life, sometimes get stuck in memories, so I am sure that Gilbert-sama’s and Yule’s suffering must be much heavier than mine.
