Chapter 11. While the maids are gone (10)
The morning routines of the two have been very consistent.
Expecting to see each other, they get up, get dressed, and leave the room.
This big frame has been a daily life that has never escaped until about 100 days after they became lovers.
But today was different.
A ray of sunlight coming through the window tickled Ludwig’s closed eyes and carefully woke him up.
He frowned slightly at him, and then opened his eyes.
“Did you sleep well? Ludwig.”
And the scene that unfolded before my eyes was a very fresh scene.
The image of a couple who greeted each other in the morning with a white blanket covering half of their body, not wearing a single thread.
Ludwig unknowingly blinked his eyes in a daze.
‘ah.’
Memories of last night come back soon.
How many times have you had sex with her, who had been actively seducing her, despite the fact that it was your first night?
In the end, both of them got tired of themselves and fell out.
It was also a fresh experience for Ludwig, who did not even know that he had such energy.
“Are you very tired? The reaction is weak… … .”
“Oh, no. I was weak in the morning, so I was just dazed for a moment.”
“I’m glad that’s the case.”
If it was usual for her to smile brightly, she would have looked cute, but today, somehow, I felt even sexy.
Maybe this is the aftermath of last night.
Ludwig hurriedly shook his head and brushed off his thoughts.
On the other hand, in Emilia’s eyes, this appearance was only seen as an attempt to hide the tiredness of last night.
I thought I should bring you a glass of water, so I was about to get up, but the strength around my waist suddenly dropped and I sat down.
fluff.
Thanks to the loud sound echoing and falling to the floor, Ludwig hurriedly came and checked her condition.
“Emilia, are you okay? Where did you get hurt… … ?”
“Okay, it’s okay. I lost strength in my back for a while… I guess I overworked myself last night.”
The words must have been meaningless to her, but Ludwig’s face blushed as he recalled the memory of last night.
Clearing his throat to freshen up the atmosphere, he carefully supported Emilia and sat her back on the bed.
“It deserves it. Anyway, let me lie in bed a little longer. If you need anything, just tell me.”
He couldn’t be said to be in very good condition, but at least he was in better condition than her.
Nodding her head at this, Emilia silently stared at him with a small arc drawn at the corner of her mouth.
‘As expected, he’s a man.’
how to say It should be said that he was able to feel the fact that he was a man.
In fact, he tried to seduce me, but I thought that a man was a man because of his active side when he had a relationship and his appearance that he looked more energetic than himself the next day.
If this is the case, maybe all the actions and words he usually shows are condescending.
“Ludwig, were you actually hiding your true nature?”
“Pooh!”
Coke. Coke.
A fountain spewed out of his mouth, which had been drinking water at her blunt word.
I thought it was a refreshing morning, but it didn’t seem like it.
When he slowly turned his head to examine her condition, he was watching him with suspicious eyes.
“… What are you saying all of a sudden in the morning, Emilia?”
“Something is strange. The person who was usually so nice to me last night made me feel like a different person, and on top of that, so violently… … .”
“Ah, okay, so let’s do that.”
Ludwig had to come up with an excuse to dissuade her from reminiscing about what had happened the night before.
The first morning that lovers who have spent the first night greet each other.
A laugh formed on his lips as he realized that it was not as peaceful as he had thought.
In any case, the important fact must be that he had developed such a deep relationship with the woman in front of him.
May this peaceful daily life continue.
It was Ludwig who wished for such a small wish in his heart, and greeted a tumultuous yet fresh morning.
* * * * * * *
From a fairly early hour in the Ipretz family, a muffled voice began to be heard from all over the place.
The source was by a maid who witnessed two people coming out of a room this morning.
It is said that rumors don’t have feet, but the faster the topic that attracts people’s taste, the faster it spreads.
It wasn’t long before this reached the ears of the Ipretzes, and a breakfast table was arranged under such circumstances.
“Sorry for being late, Father.”
Upon entering the restaurant, Ludwig immediately handed over an apology.
Originally, they should have arrived first and kept their seats.
It is an act that is clearly against etiquette as it is entrusted to two people who are the pillars of a family.
It was a matter that had nothing to say even if it wasn’t a bad command, even if it was a bitter voice.
“Well, it’s okay, sit down.”
“… Yes?”
Contrary to his expectations, however, Carol’s attitude was quite finite.
Ludwig, who was dumbfounded for a moment, wondered if he had heard it wrong, so he tried to understand the situation.
His mother, Diana, was always kind and tolerant of him, but his father, Carol, tended to sneer at actions that went against basic etiquette.
In a sense, it could be seen as something that could not happen.
“Why is the reaction like that? Even if you want to take a seat.”
“Yes… sorry.”
The words that followed seemed to reprimand him on the outside, but the tone remained mild.
Ludwig sighs in relief and sits down, assuming that something good must have happened to his father this morning.
And Emilia sat lightly in the seat next to her, which had now become a reserved seat.
“Brother, did you sleep well last night?”
“yes. Sophia and you?”
“Hey, I slept so well that I got dressed. I almost overslept in the morning.”
“Well, you’re surprisingly like me, so you tend to sleep a lot.”
However, the trend was slightly different.
Ludwig, like a bear, did not try to change his constitutional tendency to fall asleep.
On the contrary, Sophia belonged to a sincere girl who tried to live a regular life in order to somehow change her constitution, and did not make any effort.
As the three of us were having a conversation that we couldn’t have last night, including Emilia, food began to come in one by one.
What followed was breakfast, which was not much different from usual.
However, on the way, he noticed that Carol and Diana were looking at him as if they had something to say, but Ludwig didn’t bother pointing it out.
No, it would be more accurate to say that I did not point out exactly.
Because his senses were warning him not to touch it.
In the midst of such a war of nerves that would not be visible to the eyes of a third party, something was caught in Diana’s eyes.
It was none other than Emilia, who continued to eat with a strangely stiff face while moving the knife and fork.
“Baby, your complexion doesn’t look good. Are you uncomfortable anywhere?”
“Oh, no. mother. It is inconvenient.”
Unable to tell the truth, Emilia laughed awkwardly and tried to pass the topic, but it was only possible when the other person had no information.
Diana, having heard the rumors between the two early in the morning, was able to quickly guess the problem she had.
Because she was also one of those women who fell in love with someone and ended up having a family.
“Yes, if by any chance the bed is uncomfortable, just let me know.”
“Yes, Mother.”
Diana doesn’t dare to talk about the matter and elegantly passes it over.
Being the same woman, it was clear that she did not want this to be known in front of others.
After dinner, if there is a chance, we should try to talk while we are alone.
I think it would be better to cook food that is good for women by brushing up on the water tonight.
“By the way, did you hear the story?”
“What are you talking about?”
“The daughter of the Wistenbach family got engaged. Go directly to the yard where they didn’t even congratulate you, say hello and come.”
Go Wistenbach.
Ludwig’s ears perked up at the name of the family he hadn’t heard in quite a while.
It is also the family of Christian, the main character of the original work, and although there is no special relationship with the Aifretz family, the distance is quite close, so it is a family that the former heads of families often exchanged with each other.
‘If you’re the daughter of the Wistenbach family, you’re probably referring to Adrine.’
Adrine, who is also Christian’s older sister. I remember that the engagement was delayed a little more in the original work, but since the time zone has already become irrelevant, you don’t have to think about that.
I was supposed to stop by at least once, but I couldn’t do it because I didn’t have a proper excuse, so I thought it was good.
“What is your schedule like? father.”
“You catch enough. Now that I’m an adult, I don’t want my father to argue with me until then.”
Even if he said that, he would implicitly hope that he would return soon.
Anyway, Ludwig also intended to return as soon as possible.
It would be impossible since Sophia is staying right now, but if only Sophia goes back to her parents’ house, it won’t be too much trouble if she goes straight away.
“Then I’ll be back sometime next week.”
“yes. If possible, I would like to take Emilia with me too. Sightseeing car and spending time together.”
“Thank you for your consideration, father.”
Even though it should have been time for him to get used to the title father, Carol still couldn’t hide the raised corners of her mouth.
It wasn’t that he had a low opinion of his son, but it was probably because there were many times when he felt that at least he would have no relationship with a woman.
I guess it seemed like it would be more suitable for me to live leisurely by myself.
Perhaps that’s why, in Carol’s eyes, the existence of Emilia had no choice but to look more graceful.
“Anyway, it’s been a while since I’ve heard of the Wistenbach family.”
“Emilia seems to know something about the Wistenbach family.”
“It’s not to the point of knowing it, but I had quite a bit of interaction with my family in the past. It’s only once, but I’ve met Princess Adriene.”
It was a rather surprising fact. Did Emilia ever meet Adrine?
If so, wouldn’t it be possible to meet Christian at least once?
Ludwig was about to ask a little more about the Wistenbach family, but decided to keep his mouth shut.
I’m going to visit soon anyway, and it won’t matter much if I go there and see it with my own eyes.
“I look forward to it very much. It’s the first time we’ve been going somewhere together since we became lovers.”
“I am also looking forward to it. It should be a good time.”
“Don’t worry. I would be happy anywhere with Ludwig.”
“It’s common for each other.”
As long as you have each other, wherever you are, have fun.
As the sweet words were exchanged, which was only possible because they were lovers in their prime, a smile was engraved on the lips of the Aifretz couple as they held them up.
We had times like that too.
The middle-aged couple unconsciously met their eyes and held hands with one corner of their mouth raised.
I am still young at heart. Indeed, the years were savage.
