After all…
“I’ve finally succeeded in escaping being single.”
The more Shien thought about it, the better his mood got.
“Let’s make sure to properly keep that princess company for the next few days then.”
Only after deciding on that did Shien finally turn around.
Having done so, Shien’s heart nearly leaped out of his chest in fright.
At some point, a figure had actually been standing behind him without him noticing.
“L-Lasha…!?”
Only after clearly making out who the person is did Shien’s eyes widen.
Lasha however was completely emotionless as always though.
“You’ve finally gotten out of bed, Mister Shien.” Lasha spoke with impeccable calm, “Lunch is already prepared. Miss Vivian and the others had been asking after why you’ve not gotten up since morning. They have been waiting for you for some time now.”
“I-is that so?” Shien was still somewhat in chaos, so he could only respond, “S-sorry, I’ll head over now.”
“Very well.” Lasha nodded, but then she added, “I’ve already prepared the items for your morning routines, so please head directly over. Although those are tasks that I should have taken care of, I had judged that today was relatively special and that Mister Shien would not require it, so I must ask that you take care of it yourself.”
In that case then, did that mean that even Lasha wasn’t able wash and brush his teeth while he was asleep without him knowing?
However, compared to those minor trifles, Shien cared more about a different matter.
“Y-you already know then?” Shien weakly asked.
The matter he was referring to was obviously the heated things that happened in this room.
Lasha simply nodded before Shien’s twitching face.
“Of course I knew. After all, I’ve been by your side the whole time.”
Lasha said something like that.
“B-by my side?”
Shien was dumbfounded.
“I’m a maid, so of course I will always wait by your side.”
Lasha however was completely nonplussed.
“No… Then, were you… The entire time…?” Shien’s eyes widened.
“Yes, I’ve been watching the entire time.”
Lasha was still as calm as always, but the words out of her mouth made Shien want to vomit up blood.
In other words then, his battle with Lucy, their back and forward, attack and defense, ups and down, have all been observed by this maid from the side then?
I…
While Shien was being utterly stunned, Lasha even continued to speak.
“Please do not worry. I already said this before, but I have professional knowledge, so I won’t be alarmed at all, nor will I be gossiping about hit. Thus, there’s no need to Mister Shien to feel afraid due to such a minor thing.”
The words out of Lasha’s mouth was deadly in its provocativeness.
A minor thing?
The best night in his life that he put all his efforts into was merely a minor thing to her?
Come on then, let’s compare your so called professional knowledge against me if you dare.
He refuses to believe that his “wildly read” experience from his 20 years of his past life would lose out against her so called professional knowledge!
Just as Shien was getting ready to put his thoughts into action, Lasha suddenly changed the subject.
“Actually, I’m quite happy as well.” Lasha suddenly spoke matter-of-fact, “At the very least, there will be someone who can resolve some of Mister Shien’s physical issues, so I won’t need to worry about being dragged onto the bed and be kissed and groped by Mister Shien anymore.”
Those words immediately doused all of Shien’s anger.
“I wasn’t doing that on purpose…” Shien weakly tried to state again.
“I know.” Lasha also calmly replied.
After that… Well, there was no more after that…
Lash really seemed to have simply brought it up as an aside and stopped mentioning it after she was done. It instead made Shien feel like he had done something wrong though.
Thus, Shien hurriedly spoke up.
“Alright, let’s go eat lunch then.”
With that, Shien moved right past Lasha and hurriedly tried to head out the door.
However…
“Mister Shien.”
Lasha’s voice came from behind Shien.
Shien stopped.
