Chapter 24.4

The first thing I did when I got back to my room that night was to change the bedding.

I opened the package, fascinated by the smooth texture of it, I made the bed while humming a song.

The Macvestas silk sheets felt heavenly so I rolled around on it for a while and was delighted.

I probably wouldn’t have been able to get this if it wasn’t ordered…

No, I wouldn’t be able to get it even if I did order it…

I was impressed by the fact that Caesar knew my love for beddings and ordered it as a gift for me.

I may be loved…

When I thought so, my chest squeezed and I wildly smacked the bed in excitement.

The special box was placed to the side to conceal its existence…I opened the return gift box and stared into it.

Well, maybe I can try it on if it makes Caesar happy…

If it seems impossible, I can just take it off.

I went through trials and errors while trying it on, and it’s kinda…

“Uuu…”

When I took a look at myself in the mirror, it really looked like a costume for ‘that’, I couldn’t take it.

The bustier is only from below the chest, so my nipples are sticking out…

The ribbon on my neck that’s compensating for the loneliness of my chest looks like a collar…

The cloth of the string underwear is too thin, it’ll be bad if I move too much…

Even though there are only a few pieces of cloth on my body, the gloves and socks are concealing a lot, it’s kinda…

However, the texture of it makes me feel like I’m in a dream.

On the other hand, it doesn’t feel oppressive at all. The delicate design on the bustier and garter belt is finely made.

I’ve never seen such high-level beautiful embroidery when I was growing up as a commoner.

Observing the details, it certainly does seem like it is worth about 1.5 million Lutz.

…But do I have to wear it?

I’ll put this aside and think about it again before the next caravan arrives,

Un. Let’s take it off.

When I came to a conclusion, it became easier to take off and as I was going to change my clothes…at that moment

I heard footsteps from the other side of the door.

N-no way, Caesar is back?

“Wahh!”

I quickly put on the pajamas that were placed on the side of the bed and slipped into bed.

Simultaneously, the door opened.

Of course, the man who opened the door was the blonde knight.

“Lord Louie?”

“…Ah, w-welcome back.”

I grabbed the covers and answered while covering myself.

“Are you going to sleep already? Are you feeling sick or something?”

“N-no, it’s nothing…Rather, you came back earlier than usual.”

“Ahh…Work finishes up faster on days like this because of the festival.”

“I see…”

Having a conversation like this is making me uncomfortable.

He can’t see what I’m wearing under my pajamas, right…?

Caesar approached me and I squirmed my lower body without thinking.

“Are you really okay?”

“Eh, y-yeah.”

He touched my forehead to see if I had a fever.

His big hand covered my forehead, I closed my eyes comfortably.

“It sure feels a little warm though…”

That’s because I definitely feel embarrassed right now…

My temperature may have risen a little when I rushed into the bed a moment ago.

“I might feel a little tired since it was so noisy today. I guess we should sleep earlier today.”

The lights turn off, leaving only the night lamp lit in the room.

I felt grateful that the lights were off.

“Good night.”

Caesar lightly kisses my forehead.

I felt lonely when the slightly dry lips moved away.

“Un, good night…”

I could see Caesar looking surprised when he felt the texture of the bedding.

As I thought, the Macvestas silk is something that can surprise even the indifferent Caesar.

…Even though he bought so much as a gift for me, I haven’t thanked him yet…

I felt bad for Caesar who cared for my health and bought pricey gifts without saying anything patronizing.

I-if he will be happy seeing me in this…

“L-Lord Caesar…”

I got up and put my hand on the collar of my pajamas.

Perhaps noticing that I’m about to undress, Caesar raises his body a little.

“Hm? You’re not feeling well so you shouldn’t force yourself…”

Ignoring the knight’s words, I started to unbutton my pajamas.

Dimly lit by the night lamp, I dropped my pajamas on the bed.
