I Became the Maid of the Lout Prince Chapter 98

Inside the carriage, an awkward silence hung due to what happened last night.

Deliberately hiding my chest, which still seed to have a strange sensation remaining, from Ethan, I quietly recalled in my mind what had happened until now.

The signs of him seriously handling dual swords appeared about three months ago.

It was two months after Ethan started learning dual-sword techniques from Harold in earnest.

After the day Ethan first debuted by showing Harold his dual-sword technique, Harold began seriously teaching Ethan how to fight with two swords.

I was surprised that Harold could teach Ethan dual-sword techniques, but what surprised even more was the speed at which Ethan learned.

Maybe because of the foundation he had from learning single-sword techniques before, Ethan showed even more effective growth in handling dual swords.

Eventually, two months ago, Ethan won a match against Harold for the first ti using dual-sword techniques.

He won in a pure sword-vs-sword duel without tricks or clumsy techniques.

The mont Ethan scored his first proper victory, I felt so dumbfounded that my mind went blank. [GalaxyTL/Axiomatic]

I had thought that this would end without him touching again until entering the academy, but who could have imagined he’d be able to win another match just three months after learning dual-wielding techniques?

The biggest problem was that he won fair and square with skill, not with feints or tricks.

Since Harold wasn’t a fool, he wouldn’t fall for the sa trick technique more than twice, so feints or tricks were essentially one-ti-use asures.

But a victory gained purely by increasing the power and speed of the sword and one’s own movent and judgnt, only increased the possibility of the next victory.

…And my ominous prediction ca true as if it were natural.

Two tis, three tis, four tis.

Up until yesterday’s duel, Ethan had achieved a total of five victories against Harold through ‘pure skill.’

As the number of days Ethan won by purely clashing with skill increased, the number of tis I visited his room in the middle of the night also gradually increased.

As the frequency of offering my chest to Ethan increased, his actions in touching also beca increasingly extraordinary.

Recently, it felt like he was focusing more on making feel good rather than feeling satisfied himself when touching my chest.

As the events of last night montarily flashed through my mind, it beca increasingly difficult to face Ethan.

Moreover, looking at his recent behavior, he seed to have beco not just brazen but even shaless.

The rule of one minute at a ti had long since beco a dead letter.

No, had that ti limit ever been properly observed even once?

No matter how hard I tried to ti it exactly to one minute and end it, every ti I ca to my senses, five or ten minutes had passed.

…Yes, if I had to say, it’s all my karma. [GalaxyTL/Axiomatic]

If I hadn’t jumped to conclusions that day and hadn’t told Ethan to touch my chest, the situation wouldn’t have beco this complicated.

But who could have predicted this?

Probably no one would have expected Ethan, who couldn’t win a single match against Harold for almost two years, to win six tis in the past half year.

I judged correctly. This is all Harold’s fault for getting beaten by his son periodically.

Get rid of that Sword Master title, you son-loving idiot.

Anyway, having offered my chest to Ethan about once every two weeks for the past two months, I’ve recently started feeling a strange pounding in my chest whenever I see this guy’s face.

Lately, I’ve been expending considerable ntal energy to calm this crazed body down.

Just to be clear, in case of any misunderstanding, it absolutely wasn’t so cheesy emotion like love.

It’s just that my body reacts because Ethan touches well, and as a result, my body just shows so strange behavior when I et Ethan.

If this were called love or romantic feelings, then prostitutes and AV (T/N: adult video) actresses would all be in polyamorous relationships. Of course, there were no AV actresses in this world.

Either way, the fact that my chest was touched by Ethan’s hands wouldn’t damage my firm masculinity.

After all, n often boast and let won touch them when their bodies are built well, right?

This was just sothing similar but opposite to that.

Since Lilith’s body itself was a very well-made female body, it probably wasn’t much different from a muscular male body.

…It’s not like I wanted Ethan to touch because I wanted to show off this body.

While thinking that and quietly looking at the passing scenery outside the window, I suddenly heard Ethan’s voice carefully calling .

“M-maid.”

“…What do you need, Young Master Ethan?”

“Are you perhaps angry because of what happened last night?”

…It seems he does feel a bit guilty about excitedly playing with my chest as he pleased yesterday.

Of course, as a servant, I couldn’t nod seriously here, so the maximum resistance I could offer was to deny it without making eye contact with Ethan.

“…No, young master. That isn’t the case.”

“I-I’m sorry, Maid. I really wanted to see you making a more pleasurable face… I think I played around too much, only thinking about my own feelings…”

“…”

Ethan, quickly noticing my strange mood, apologized first.

This kind of thing was what really confused .

It was this innocent young master of Blackwood’s character to always apologize soti during the next day if I acted awkward or a bit uncomfortable because of ‘what happened at night.’ [GalaxyTL/Axiomatic]

Every ti Ethan showed such considerate behavior, my heart couldn’t help but beco more and more confused.

What is this? If he apologizes first like this, how am I supposed to react?

If I continue to be displeased here, I’ll just end up being the bad woman, the crazy woman.

If he had said sothing like, ‘What’s wrong with doing as I please with my possession?’ with a shaless and disgusting face like the detestable Ethan in the original ga, I could have at least felt hostility.

The current Ethan was so kind and so diligent compared to the detestable Ethan in the original ga.

I felt disgusted with myself for comparing him to the original Ethan, even for a mont.

“No, young master. There’s no reason for you to apologize.”

“…Really?”

“Yes. You earned my chest as a reward for your victory in the duel with the master, so whatever you do with it is your choice, young master.”

“Maid…”

“…And it’s embarrassing to say, but how could I hold a grudge against you when I ended up feeling pleasure by your hands, young master? You don’t need to attach any special aning to what happened at night.”

“…Okay, I understand. Thanks for being honest, maid.”

I just said that because Ethan feeling guilty was actually more uncomfortable for .

Honest my ass, I didn’t feel good at all.

No, it’s not that I didn’t feel good, but I didn’t want to feel good in that way.

I neither wanted Ethan to touch my chest nor did I expect to feel pleasure from it.

This is an unchanging fact that won’t change even after four years pass until we graduate from the academy.

Well, once we enter the academy, there won’t be any more sword duels between Ethan and Harold anyway, so this strange relationship should finally co to an end. [GalaxyTL/Axiomatic]

Thinking that, I was blankly watching the scenery outside the carriage again when Ethan carefully spoke to .

“I’m looking forward to the academy, Maid.”

“Is that so…”

“…Aren’t you looking forward to it?”

“…No. I’m looking forward to it, too.”

The main storyline of “Luminor Academy,” the classes in the magic departnt I’ll learn as Lilith, and even the second life that will unfold after graduation.

Who would say they aren’t looking forward to all of this?

Thinking that, I could quite easily brush off the humiliation of having my chest touched by Ethan last night.

“…You’re saying there’s only one vacant room?”

…Until we faced a new problem at the inn where Ethan and I were to stay that evening.
