Chapter 10

Two months have passed since the new deputy chief took over, but there’s no sign of Caesar losing interest in me yet. There’s a tacit understanding between us, so if he wants it, I give it to him.

…Our compatibility in bed is the best…

It feels perfect when he embraces me.

It felt like the part of my body that was receiving Caesar’s was being completed by him.

Recently, Caesar has been coming back late and not having him sleep next to me feels unnatural.

Is my ability to adapt too high?

Nevertheless, his attitude towards me doesn’t change even when we sleep together.

Isn’t this supposed to be something affectionate? Yet, he only wants my body…

Perhaps, he’s just using me to satisfy his urges.

Even though it shouldn’t matter to me, I feel sad for some reason.

He wants me passionately in the room, but once Caesar steps out from this room in his knight uniform, I feel a wall between us.

If only he could treat me a little more gently…

I probably didn’t compromise enough.

Maybe I should make tea and do various other things like Harris used to do…

But the first thing he said to me was to not meddle in his life…

“Lord Louie~~”

“Ahh, you must be tired.”

It seems like Tarta likes me quite a lot, he comes to the infirmary every day.

He resembles Harith, so I have a sense of familiarity with him and he also has some parts that seem likable.

I’m free when I have no work anyways, I’m grateful to have someone to talk to.

“The dealer is coming soon, do you plan on buying something?”

There are many dealers who sell and purchase goods while traveling around the country.

They also come to this base to sell their goods.

The popular items in this base are items that can’t be supplied by the military.

……But I guess there’s no other way to use their salary~

“Nothing much…How about Lord Tarta?”

“Well…I like sweet things, so maybe some pastries.”

This guy, it doesn’t fit his fierce appearance, his tastes are unexpectedly like a maiden’s.

But well, I guess I understand why he would want to eat something sweet after such intense training every day.

“Ahh, did you know? General Caesar likes sweet things too.”

“Really?”

That’s unexpected……

Rather, my schedule and that of the knights are basically different, so our bath and mealtimes are different.

I’ve never thought about figuring out what he likes until now.

“That, Lord Caesar does…”

“If there was a fruit pie in his meal, he would be happy.”

“A fruit pie!”

I can’t imagine him……eating something happily.

“I like it too, but we only get it once in a while so I can’t wait.”

Something struck me when he said that.

I’m unexpectedly good at cooking.

There were times in alchemy where I had to test the chemical reactions between seasonings.

Compared to those difficult experiments, this is way easier.

If it’s fruit pie, there should be enough ingredients here…

”

How about making a pastry for Caesar…to compromise with him?

It should look natural if I distribute it to Tarta and the other knights too.

“If you would like, I can make it for you.”

“Eh!? You? Lord Louie!?

I wasn’t able to break away from Tarta’s sparkling eyes.

“Uhh…I was thinking of borrowing the kitchen to make it…”

“I-I like apple pie!”

Apple pie, huh.

When I imagined it, I felt like eating it too somehow.

As he promised to be in time for lunch tomorrow, Tarta went back with a huge smile on his face.
