Chapter 58 – 58. At the Mansion (1)
She waved the girl’s hand until she was out of sight.
She was left alone again, but this time her heart was much lighter.
Thanks to Elena, I was able to understand a little bit of the identity of this feeling of oppressiveness.
This is camaraderie.
It is a deep friendship toward colleagues who have been together for nearly three years.
It is clear to see that she suffers from loneliness this much.
Her lighter steps lifted her off the floor.
Let’s go back to the cathedral before it’s too late.
Maybe Liliana will come first and be waiting for you.
“Teshia!!”
At that moment, a voice called me.
I reflexively turned my back.
I welcomed the sound of her rapidly approaching footsteps with my whole body.
“Ugh!?”
Skin soaked with sweat covered me.
The smell of grass and earth, the rich and sweet scent of lavender.
Golden hair covered the dark night sky like a curtain.
“Liliana!?”
“Ah, Thesia! I’m sorry, I’m so sorry!”
Liliana suddenly apologized and rubbed her face against my cheek.
The elf wore a thin dress instead of a military uniform, and her entire body was covered in dirt.
“I’m the worst, making Teshia, who came to visit me in vain!”
“Uuuuup!”
I understand, so tell me about this.
It’s suffocating.
“How lonely it must have been to be out there alone all this time! As an apology, I will share with you the special herbs I picked today…”
“Puh-haa!”
I barely managed to push away Liliana, who was running wild and confessing her guilt.
Seeing him panting and catching his breath, the elf seemed to have belatedly noticed his plaque.
“Okay, calm down. It’s not something to make such a fuss about.”
“What a fuss! Because of my carelessness, I caused Teshia to stumble, and it is only natural that I apologize!”
“No, it was my fault for coming here on my own. Why do you say you even apologize?”
“Don’t say that. “You know how much we like Tesia, right?”
I like it.
I hear this almost every day, but it feels different when I hear it on the main street like this.
I’m embarrassed, but I’m also happy at the same time.
“Teshia willingly took steps for me, but I was just stepping on the dirt without even knowing it. I’m really, really sorry, and I don’t know how to repay you…”
“…”
Even though I’m not furious, I can’t believe I feel so guilty.
It’s rather embarrassing.
If we leave it in this state, it may run out of control again.
“Then.”
I know a good method to use in times like this.
I grabbed Liliana’s hand.
“Let me sleep at your house today.”
“Yes, yes!?”
Lilia’s face turned red with anger, and she showed a fresh reaction.
Her fluttering, clear eyes avoided my gaze.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen an expression like this.
“Suddenly, why is my house… ?”
“You guys come into my room every day. But actually, I’ve never been to your room.”
“You might think it’s boring, right? At most, it is a house that has nothing to show off other than the herbs and herbs grown in the flower beds.”
“Are you okay. Because being with you is important.”
When I say it, it may sound like a confession, but it is completely different.
This proposal is to alleviate Liliana’s excessive guilt.
Well, it’s true that about half of it is my own selfish interest.
I wanted to see at least once what the mansion where the elves live would look like.
Liliana hesitated for a moment.
After looking at me, her shoulders dropped as if she had given up.
“Great. Instead, you shouldn’t complain that it’s not fun. “You understand, right?”
“I said it’s not like that.”
After reassuring myself again, I headed to her mansion with Liliana.
***
Liliana’s mansion, which came back, still boasted an enormous size.
It took about 5 minutes to walk from the main gate to the entrance of the mansion, so its majesty can be considered that of a decent duke.
A welcome greeting from the old butler we saw during the day and several maids following us.
It felt like I was royalty, but it was such a burdensome treatment for me, who had lived as a Pungmin all my life.
In the end, I asked Liliana to let us go alone.
After walking until my feet started to hurt, I arrived at Liliana’s room.
The magic stone hanging from the ceiling shined brightly.
I was a little surprised by the brightness, which was very similar to the fluorescent light in my previous life.
“It’s a nothing special room, but please rest comfortably.”
As Liliana said, the interior of the room was simple, with no items that stood out.
At most, there was only a luxurious bed that was said to be used only in the imperial family, a fantastic herb that could cure all diseases, and a stand on which a bow made from the branches of the World Tree was hung.
… If this isn’t a big deal, what on earth is happening to my room?
Liliana herself may not have noticed, but people in the world call this deception.
She entered the room carefully.
Now that I see it, even the carpet on the floor is of high quality.
She sat down on the bed.
My eyes widened at the wonderful softness.
A bed that isn’t hard is something I haven’t seen since my reincarnation.
Ah, this soft yet sturdy feeling.
It’s been 23 years.
I am just thrilled.
I sprawled out on the soft bed.
I just didn’t want to get up.
This alone made me feel rewarded for coming to Liliana’s room.
Hehe, Liliana smiled slightly and came over and sat down next to me.
“It’s very soft, isn’t it?”
“Huh. “What on earth is it made of?”
“I don’t know the details either. “It was given to me as a gift by the imperial family to use.”
“Hmm.”
Why don’t you give it to me and only Liliana?
Such dissatisfaction crept up.
This is discrimination against a warrior party.
“If you like it, will Tesia take it?”
Liliana’s suggestion seemed to understand my inner thoughts.
I really wanted to do that.
“It’s an imperial item? “You can’t ask for something like that.”
“Okay. It’s a little disappointing.”
“Are you sad?”
“You mean Tessia falls asleep with her own body odor every night? “Thinking of that made me a little excited.”
“Uh… “Yes, yes.”
It was a good thing I refused.
I can’t play with my pervert sexual desires anymore.
“Rather than that, shouldn’t I wash it off now?”
She turned her body and looked at Liliana.
Unlike her white jade-like skin, her dress was completely dirty with dirt.
“I see. “I liked Tessia so much that she forgot what I looked like.”
“It’s happening again.”
“Hehe, it’s true.”
It didn’t seem like empty words.
With a slight blush on her cheeks, Liliana held my hand.
“Do you want to shower together, Tessia?”
“Is that okay?”
“Sure. “I actually want to ask for it.”
“Well, if you say it that way.”
I pretended not to be able to help myself and got up from the bed.
I was already excited about how amazing the bathroom in a mansion like this would be.
As she was guided by Liliana’s hand, she tried to calm her trembling heart.
***
The bathroom in the mansion was much larger than expected.
The bathtub was several times larger than the one in my room, and there was even a separate massage bath with bubbling.
Since I had already washed my body, I went into the massage bath.
How does it feel?
“Huh…”
It is truly heaven.
It was to the point where I couldn’t understand Liliana sleeping in my room every time, leaving me in a place like this.
“Is there anything uncomfortable?”
The maid who was washing my hair asked in a gentle voice.
The expert’s hands massaged my scalp with just the right amount of force, completely melting away my fatigue.
It was a moment when I thought, this is why nobles have so many maids.
“Yes, not at all. “You are very good.”
“Thank you for the compliment. The saintess also has fine hair, so it’s easy to take care of.”
“Is that so? “I really appreciate this compliment.”
It won’t be lip service.
Because I know very well that I am objectively pretty.
She slightly opened her closed eyes and looked at Liliana, who was lying next to me.
Her maid in charge was glaring at her master with a stern expression.
“Oh, my master too. What should I do if you come back with a lot of dust like this? “If I just shave my head, I can make a flower bed!”
“Sorry. “I stopped because I was so absorbed.”
“Gathering herbs is good, but you have to treat your pretty body with respect. And then it breaks down in just a moment.”
“Hehe, I’ll be careful from now on.”
The maid scolding her master was surprising, but I also found it very strange to see Lilia immediately apologize to the maid.
This is probably why Liliana is highly regarded within the knights.
I felt proud as her colleague.
“Hmm…”
She yawned lazily.
Warm bath water and bubbles that tickle your skin.
Add to that the careful massage from her maid, and she was starting to feel drowsy.
Eyelids slowly closing.
Her consciousness tried to slip into a dream.
One moment.
“Huh!?”
I let out a small scream.
“Uh, are you uncomfortable?”
The surprised maid hurriedly asked.
There was a bit of fear in her gray eyes.
“No, ugh…” … My legs are a little numb. Nothing, ah… No…”
I smiled slightly to reassure myself.
Her maid, as if relieved by my relaxed expression, stroked her chest.
The massage resumed, but this time she couldn’t enjoy it as leisurely as before.
‘Don’t do it… !’
He quietly warned Liliana with his mouth.
However, she seemed to have no intention of stopping.
Beneath the bubbling, one of Liliana’s hands slowly approached.
Her hands caressing my thighs tickled my nerves.
