“I...I”

The expression on her face

Surprisingly it’s not so full of terror as it is of surprise

I wonder when should I stop it

I know she will hold a grudge against me

But knowing her the grudge won’t be bigger than not adding lime to my favourite drink

“I...I u-understand”

....?

“But if I may have my last wish then I choose to be buried next to my brother”

“...”

“Please tell him that I love him, master. That is all”

...

This girl who is she?

She is no older than me

But her devotion to me is larger than her life

[Teasing mode-turned off]

“I was just teasing you. I am actually a normal human being”

“(◞º❒º)”

Seriously, How easily can you be fooled?

“I see, master”

“Can you get out for a moment”

“Yes, of course”

(Slap!) (Slap!)

What the hell were you thinking?!

She was terrified! (Well, it was worth it though)

No, it was not!

Agh! I am so embarrassed!

I won’t able to face her anymore!

I wonder what she thinks of me

Isabella’s P.O.V

I recently became the servant to the son of King Luke III, Prince Louis

He was the prodigy that solved the water problem by introducing complex shapes to the canal

He was also the one who invented the game called cards when he was just 5

He may be weak in combat but his knowledge and wisdom has proved to be crucial to the contribution of our country

I was surprised to find that he is not only more intelligent than I have heard but he is really kind

He doesn’t spend money as lavishly as my previous lord did but he also takes account of permissions from his father to withdraw from the royal treasure

Far more than I deserve

He did make an odd statement but then he retracted it

I wonder what caused him to do that

But other than that he shows special considerations towards me

“You shouldn’t use young master’s kindness towards your advantage”

“I understand”

“A loyal maid does the tasks that not only were trusted upon them but also the ones that aren’t”

“I understand”

Mother is correct

Master’s kindness shouldn’t be taken for granted

I will have to pay special attention

“Young master is a restless sleeper. So make sure he is properly covered or otherwise, he will catch a cold”

“I will”

It’s true that he is a restless sleeper

The proof is in front of my eyes

His nightdress is unbuttoned and his chest is exposed and silver from the moonlight

I should start buttoning first and then-

Leave...

As I tried to correct his clothing he seized hold of my arm

And he isn’t letting go...

“M-”

I shouldn’t disturb master’s sleep

I will wait till morin-

He is now hugging it...

I wonder when he will let go

[Louis’s percpective]

I am definitely going to hell!

[Teasing mode-turned on]

The door opened and I acted like I was asleep

I had no idea that it was Isabella

I thought it was some assassin (I am royalty, after all) and grabbed her arm

But why am I not letting it go

(But a little teasing won’t hurt)

Yeah just for a little while I want to see when she will resist

But why was she here in the middle of the night

Wait, could she be an assassin?

No, She wouldn’t give her life for her target

And if she was like that she would have probably killed me by now

Maybe she has a crush on me

Nooo ʱªʱªʱª (ᕑᗢूᓫ∗)

That can’t be the case

Then, why is she?

Agh, I am still tired from the whole combat practice thing

Being a successor to the throne is really tiresome, after all (Not to brag)

Ahh

...

When I woke up I found her lying on the floor while her hand rested in mine

“Isabella!”

She mumbled something and immediately her eyes opened

She got on her feet at once and bowed

“Good morning master”

“Did y-”

I can’t tell her I did it on purpose

“I entered your room with the intention to correct your body posture.”

She looked at me

“I apologise that I did it without permission. When I was buttoning your shirt. You held my hand and woudn’t let go so I stood and waited”

“Don’t tell me you waited all night”

“I tried to but I fell asleep in the middle”

She stayed the whole night

(∩ ᗒᗩᗕ)՞

I am so mad at myself

[Teasing mode-turned off]

“Why did you sleep on the floor? (you could have slept on my you know?)”

“I tried to sleep as possible as I am a maid”

“...”

Why does she treat herself like that?

It’s probably because of Erika

“Then you should rest for the day”

“Do I have the privilege to refuse”

“You don’t”

“I understand”

This girl should be exhausted by now and knowing her she would have never tried to even sit while waiting

“Now, please move out I have to change”

“Can I help? master”

...

-_-

( ｡+･`ω･´)

Now listen here you little s*** Can I give you some common sense?!

“What did you just say?”

“Can I help you change? Master”

“Well. How about this? You would be embarrassed if I helped you change right?”

“If I am bold enough to consider then I would really help you if you helped me change”

She is joking, right?!

She must be because-

“Will you really be happy?”

[Teasing mode-turned on]

“Yes, of course. It will be you after all”

“Good, Stick with that. Let’s test how much your theory is correct”

Surely, a little teasing won’t hurt (◣∀◢) ψ

[Teasing, this early in the morning!]
