“The rules are simple. I will ask you one question and you will ask me one question”

“I understand”

“Then...”

Time for the first blow

“What type of man will you marry?”

[Teasing mode-Turned on]

(◣∀◢) ψ

Even the most dens of the person will get a clue of why I said that

“I never thought about it but...if I had a choice then I will marry a delicate man like you”

( ・◇・)？

(๑´.̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̨̨.̸̸̨̨`๑)

And she said that with such an innocent smile!

“ Then it’s my turn. What type of women would you marry?”

What is she getting at?!

No

It is the perfect opportunity for me to counter-attack

“ A reliable and beautiful woman like you”

She smiled (?!)

“That makes me happy”

Stop trying to give me a nosebleed! Stupid!

“I-It’s my turn now. Who do you love the most?”

Her smile vanished

She started getting nervous

“I-I...Do I have the liberty to skip it?”

“No, you do not”

A question that she can’t answer

About who she loves the most?

And she is shy to tell me about it

Is it what I am thinking?

“I love....”

You, You, You please be you! (´д｀人)!

“I love my b-brother”

( -_- )

“I am sorry, is that something to be shy about?”

“I deeply apologize it isn’t you.”

“Huh? (◞º//❒//º)”

“As master’s personal maid my first love would be serving you but I just...love my brother too much (*╯-╰)”

Seriously?

“I-It’s okay don’t feel down about it”

“But...” (*╯-╰)

Somehow seeing her sad face makes me want to make her happy

“H-How about you order me for a change?” ( •̀ ᄇ• ́)ﻭ✧

“I don’t understand”

“I am always ordering to do things for me so how about you make me do something for you”

“But that is unf-”

“I order you to that”

“ Very well”

She started thinking about it

For now, this got her mind off of that love thing

But I wonder what she will-

“I want you to lie on my lap”

Nosebleed emoji

“R-Really?”

“Yes. My mother taught me this is a great way to comfort you”

How does Erika know that ?!

But I should probably make use of these situations

“T-Then don’t mind if I do...”

I laid down on her lap

Her cute face staring at me from above was just too much so I closed my eyes

The sofa which we were sitting on didn’t even compare to the softness of her thighs

The maid dress in getting in my way (ᗒᗩᗕ)՞

It’s warm...

I want to be like this forever

“Does it feel good, master?”

“Yes”

I could feel her ‘I am happy’ aura

I am getting sleepy

No, I can’t let that happen

I don’t want to sleep on her and then she has to wait for me till morning

“I think this much is enough for today,” I said getting up

“Are you heading to bed, master?”

“Yes. You should be too”

“Yes. I will carry the lamp for you”

“Thanks”

The moon isn’t shining much today, huh?

Suddenly I noticed Isabella still hasn’t climbed the stairs so I looked behind me

She was staring at the corner of the living room

“Is something the matter, Isabella?”

“No. I was just thinking that it was the spot where I decided to serve you”

“Hmm?”

“Originally my brother was supposed to serve you along with me. But I volunteered to do all the work in his place”

“W-What?”

What is with this people-serving-me-with-their-life crap!

Why didn’t I get a say in this?!

“When I was 10 I went to serve the Military commander so I can train my skills as a maid. When II turned 16 I was ready to be you maid”

“Ah. Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?”

“You never asked and I never found the need to”

“I see”

Now that I think about it I don’t know much about Isabella”

In fact, I didn’t know anything about her other than her name

She got separated from her brother just so she could serve me...

A sensation of guilt spread through my body

“I-I am sorry”

“It isn’t for you to worry. It was decided the day we were born”

“Still...”

That night I couldn’t sleep

I kept thinking about how I can make it right

If only I can do something to get this unpleasant feeling off of my chest...

How about visiting the place where her brother lives

If I remember correctly then it was the home of Duke of the Southern district Noir the 3rd

No

That won’t do

I have to have a reason for the visit

How about calling him here

But that would require a reason too...

Hmm...

!

Isabella must have a birthday, right?

Then it is settled

Her birthday party is the day after tomorrow!
