Chapter 55 The Former Princess Knight At Dusk※
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
[Part 1/2]
Babellion’s 100th floor, the castle’s office.
Charles was sitting alone, sipping his red tea, facing the desk.
This “alone” meant he was truly by himself. Satsuki, his escort, had left his side for a rare training session with the imperial guards.
Charles flipped through the report with a “swish” sound. The contents were about the royal capital, mainly focusing on the investigation reports of powerful nobles and their feelings towards Babellion.
The day before, Felshiol had headed to the royal capital as planned. Although there was a considerable distance between the old capital, where Babellion was, and the royal capital, Felshiol didn’t take a horse-drawn carriage but flew there on his own wings.
Charles had gotten up and was preparing himself when Felshiol came to bid farewell, and by the time the sun was high in the sky, Felshiol had already arrived at the royal capital.
The royal capital had many of Shiki’s “intelligence officer” spider agents scattered around. Although this intelligence ability had its demerits, it was extremely useful for monitoring a relatively stable territory. Therefore, the information exchange with Felshiol was also secretive, and the distance between the royal capital and the old capital didn’t feel that far.
”Enter.”
The sound of the door being knocked on echoed, and Charles, without looking up from the report, gave permission to enter.
There was no need to ask who it was. In front of the office door stood an Imperial Army soldier. The fact that they were passing by meant it wasn’t an unexpected person. Rather, it was almost certain who would appear at this timing.
As Charles gave his permission, the door opened, and Charles looked up from the report.
”You look good in that stupid maid outfit, and the collar too.”
Charles’s words were accompanied by a smirk, and he gazed at the pink-clad maid who had entered the room with a lecherous gaze.
”…Who’s your maid…!?”
Lucia, who was dressed in the pink maid outfit, clenched her teeth and turned her face away. The reason she was called wasn’t necessary to say, but it was to make the most of Charles’ alone time.
It’s been a daily routine to train Lucia since the day he fished her out.
She is always wear a pink maid uniform, even when not training. Her chest and thighs are exposed, and her short skirt is so short that her underwear can be seen if she bends over a bit. At first, she seemed to feel embarrassed about it, but now she doesn’t seem to care about hiding herself at all.
However, her defiant attitude is still going strong. In fact, her embarrassment has turned into anger and frustration about being treated like a lowly servant despite being a princess, and her attitude has become even more prickly.
As a noble knight, she’s full of contradictions and gives off a half-baked impression, but her fundamental nature is genuinely strong-willed. It could be said she’s stubborn or obstinate, which is why she can’t make wise choices… but as a toy to enjoy the process of taming, she’s perfect.
Thinking that, Charles shifted his gaze from Lucia’s chest and thighs to the desk and spun his next words.
”If you’re a maid, act like one and pay attention to your master’s every need. My teacup is empty, you know.”
”…Understand.”
Charles reached out and touched Lucia’s butt.
”…Tch.”
For an instant, she shot him a sharp glance, but she didn’t resist and started pouring tea. Charles’s hand stroked her butt, then slipped under her skirt, and he savored the sensation of her buttocks through her underwear.
Lucia’s lower body was as toned as Satsuki’s, probably from doing martial arts and horseback riding.
Her body lines were slender, but her butt was plump and springy. And compared to a month ago, her entire body had definitely become softer.
”Every day, every day, it’s indecent… I’m shocked just listening to it.”
Lucia muttered under her breath as Charles stroked her butt. It wasn’t something she meant to say out loud――it was a complaint directed at Charles.
It might be better to teach her her place with a good scolding or a kick. But Charles was deliberately using words to tease her.
”Heh heh… are you worried about me and Babellion?”
”Who’s worried?”
Lucia’s face turned bright red with anger as she glared back at Charles, who gazed straight into her eyes and let out a deep sigh.
”You’re still as foolish as ever, aren’t you? Don’t you know that if you ruin my mood, the entire country will be destroyed?”
”Gh… no, that’s not it. You’re the one who just said it, didn’t you? I’m worried about Babellion.”
”Shut up.”
Charles snorted in disgust and took a sip of his tea.
”Well, I suppose that stubbornness of yours is exciting me too.”
