I Became the Maid of the Lout Prince

After everything was over, in the bathtub…

“……”

“……”

In the bathtub filled with warm water heated by Sally, I quietly met Ethan’s eyes.

We sat facing each other, leaning against opposite ends of the tub, hugging our knees.

I quietly avoided Ethan’s gaze while covering various parts of my body with my knees and the tops of my feet.

…How did it end up like this?

Certainly, when I started, I didn’t have any particular thoughts. It was just about resolving Ethan’s sexual desires using my ‘hands.’

Before I knew it, not only had I shown my naked body to Ethan, but in the final moment, I even received the byproduct of his pleasure on my body.

After the act was over, a cold feeling washed over me, and my head became strangely complicated.

‘I didn’t intend to go this far.’

Showing my lower body naked to Ethan wasn’t something I had particularly planned.

The upper part was fine since I had shown it many times before, but the lower part was accidentally exposed when the towel slipped off.

If I had known this would happen, I would have worn at least one piece of underwear on the bottom when I came in.

Moreover, when Ethan, conscious of my reaction, removed his own towel to fully reveal his body, it seemed strange for me, his exclusive maid, to pick up the towel again to cover myself.

To begin with, I had only shown him, not allowed him to touch directly, so if I were to be strict about it, it was barely safe…

‘No, come to think of it, it’s not safe at all.’

If we progressed so hastily like this, there was a high possibility that we might cross the line before graduating from the academy.

I should have shown more restraint somehow.

Maybe it would have been better to tell him to quietly take off his pants on the bed, even if it was a bit awkward, saying I would give him his reward.

Of course, that would have been embarrassing, too, but at least I wouldn’t have felt the shame of showing my naked body.

“……”

Splash.

Even though I knew it was meaningless to cover up in a situation where everything had already been shown, I still tried to push my body a little further into the corner of the bathtub.

As we continued bathing in that awkward silence, I heard Ethan’s voice calling me.

“Lilith.”

Ethan’s voice sounded a bit more mellow than usual, perhaps because we were in the bathroom.

Trying to suppress the slightly dazed feeling, perhaps due to the hot steam from the bathtub, I maintained my composure as much as I could and answered Ethan.

“Yes, Young Master Ethan.”

“…Thank you for today.”

“Pardon?”

“I didn’t know you would go this far for me. I was expecting a reward for a complete victory, but I didn’t think you would do this much.”

Well, of course, I didn’t know I would go this far either.

Looking back, maybe it wasn’t okay from the moment I entered the bathroom wearing just a towel.

I suddenly realized that the reward acts between Ethan and me had been getting stronger lately. Even though I was clearly aware in my mind that this shouldn’t be happening.

…I should make it clear next time to prevent things from progressing further inadvertently like this.

“…This is as far as it goes, Young Master Ethan.”

“Huh?”

“Even if you win against the master in your next duel, I cannot give you any more rewards than this.”

“…What do you mean?”

“I’ve heard that from the next duel, the master will be using both his magic and physical strength in earnest when dueling with you.”

“…That’s right.” [Only on Galaxy Translations! / Axiomatic]

“Of course, it will be much harder to win compared to the previous duels, but even if you win that duel, it’s better not to expect me to do anything more than what I did today.”

“…Oh, is that what you meant?”

“Yes. Let me say it once more: I absolutely cannot allow intercourse between us before graduating from the academy.”

“…Ah, yes. I know, Lilith.”

I spoke firmly enough that Ethan should have understood well.

As my actual mental age was much higher, it was up to me, the elder, to draw a clear line at times like this.

It really wasn’t easy to act like temporary lovers while maintaining boundaries.

“…It’s better not to expect me to do anything more than what I did today.”

“…Oh, is that what you meant?”

“Yes. Let me say it once more: I absolutely cannot allow intercourse between a man and a woman before graduating from the academy.”

“…Ah, yes. I know, Lilith.”

As he listened to Lilith’s words, thinking she had firmly drawn the line after suppressing her confused emotions, Ethan quietly thought to himself.

Today, he entered the bathroom naked with Lilith and experienced the sensation of climaxing with her hands for the first time. [Only on Galaxy Translations! / Axiomatic]

He silently recalled today’s experience in his mind and repeated Lilith’s words.

‘So she’ll go this far… I thought we’d just go back to touching breasts for my next victory….’

Lilith was completely unaware that she had unknowingly stimulated Ethan’s desire for growth once again.

A week after I first gave Ethan his ‘reward’ in the bathroom…

The second semester of my first year in Luminor Academy’s Magic Department was still proceeding smoothly without any particular issues.

Ethan and I were awkward for a while after leaving the bathroom and the day after, but we returned to our usual relationship within a few days.

The potion trade with Lizzy, whom I had started interacting with again in the student council, for the end-of-term hunting festival was also going smoothly.

‘This semester will probably end uneventfully, too.’

Originally, it was the role of the Hero and his companions to suffer from endless incidents and accidents.

Although I had been reincarnated as Lilith, I was neither Ethan’s slave nor a tragic Heroine now.

As long as I didn’t interfere with the main story, it was normal for only the events equivalent to those experienced by an ordinary academy student to occur. …It was just that things had been going wrong, and I had been facing crises for the past few days.

Even the Subjugation of the Kraken of the Abyss was something the Hero should do, not particularly related to me…

‘Come to think of it, I wonder if the Hero’s side is okay?’

By defeating the Kraken of the Abyss myself, I had unintentionally stolen a major XP event from the Hero.

Of course, in Luminor Academy, there were countless means of gaining XP, even without major events like the Subjugation of the Kraken of the Abyss, but I wasn’t sure if Gyeongmwajogyegigwat would see it that way.

If, by any chance, the character the Hero was aiming for was Agnes, he had missed out on a major affection event, so there was a good possibility that he might hold a grudge against me and Ethan.

‘I’d like to somehow confirm what the Hero is thinking about me and Ethan right now.’

With these thoughts, as I was walking towards Ethan’s Swordsmanship Department building after finishing my morning classes that ended a bit early, the most familiar member of the Hero’s group appeared before my eyes.

I intentionally greeted her cheerfully and approached from behind, impressed by her pink hair and priestess’s robe that was pure white.

“Sigh…. How can I reveal that Lilith is the real Saint without any problems….”

“Hello, Saint Serista.”

“Eek, kyaaaah?!”

“…Kyaaa?!”

As soon as I called her name and approached from behind, Serista jumped in surprise.

Her reaction was so sudden, almost like she was a pogo stick, that I couldn’t help but take a step back in surprise, too.

Serista, who looked ten times more surprised than me, fixed her gaze on me while clutching her chest with both hands.

“Haa, haa, haa….”

“…Saint?”

“D-Did you hear?”

“Pardon?”

“…Ah, no! If you didn’t hear, it has nothing to do with you, L-Lilith….”

It seemed like she was muttering something to herself, but apparently, it was something she didn’t want others to hear.

Maybe she was muttering about wanting to ask the Hero she has a crush on for a date or something. [Only on Galaxy Translations! / Axiomatic]

Given Serista’s personality, it would be understandable if she was muttering such things. After all, the shy appearance of a girl in love was the core of Serista’s character.

Remembering her appearance from the original game, a fond smile naturally formed on my lips.

Smile.

“Eek?! I-I’m sorry…! Y-You did hear, didn’t you?!”

“…Pardon?”

“I-Indeed, I shouldn’t lie to others in the name of the Goddess. What I’ve done so far can’t be helped, but I should express my true feelings as soon as poss-“

“P-Please calm down, Saint! I don’t know what you’re worrying about, but for now, please put your hand on your chest and take a deep breath calmly!”

“Huff, huff, huff….”

“Please, more slowly, Saint. More slowly.”

“Huuu…. Huuu….”

…I hope I didn’t do anything strange to her while I was at the church.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure it out. I remember just receiving treatment quietly and leaving as soon as possible.

…Or maybe she thinks I heard whatever she was just muttering to herself, even though I don’t know what she had said.

For now, calming her down seemed to be the priority, if only for the sake of smooth conversation.

“I really didn’t hear what you were just muttering to yourself, so you don’t need to worry, Saint Serista.”

“Huh? Th-Then that smile just now was…”

“It was just that I was glad to see you, Saint, and my mouth naturally smiled. After all, you are the benefactor who saved my life, Saint Serista.”

“…Ah, aaaah… Th-That’s what your smile meant… Phew, pheew….”

“If my greeting made you uncomfortable, I apologize, Saint Serista.”

“N-No…! It’s just that I misunderstood. Haha, ahahaha….”

…For some reason, her reaction feels particularly awkward today.

At least, judging by Serista’s flustered expression, it seemed like an awkward reaction, as if she was hiding something from me.

Given her personality, which isn’t used to hiding things, there’s a high possibility that’s actually the case.

She was one of the easiest characters to read emotions from in the game.

Although she was a character who went around with the title of ‘Saint of Prophecy’ while pretending to be the fake Lilith, if Serista were a saint, I think a title like ‘Pure White Saint’ would suit her better. [Only on Galaxy Translations! / Axiomatic]

…Well, whether Serista really had something she didn’t want to tell me or not, it wasn’t really something for me to worry about.

As I always say, I had no intention of getting entangled with the main characters of “Luminor Academy” more than necessary.

The Hero was the same, and Serista, being a saint, was also a ‘top-level dangerous person’ for me now, if you think about it.

Even so, the reason I’m approaching her now is purely for confirmation.

I just wanted to casually ask if Gyeongmwajogyegigwat might have any negative feelings toward me and Ethan because of the previous incident.

If I didn’t clearly address this point, there was a possibility that I might unknowingly receive resentment from the Hero later.

“Um, Saint Serista. Since we’ve met like this, if it’s not rude, may I ask you one question?”

“Y-Yes…? A q-question…?”

“Yes. If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to answer.”

“Ah, y-yes….”

“…Actually, it’s more of a question about the Hero rather than you, Saint.”

“……”

“By any chance, has the Hero said anything about me or Young Master Ethan recently? Could I just ask about that?”

“……………Huh?”
