Pop-

The cork popped with a cheerful sound.

Pour-

And the poured drink. The purple wine filled two wine glasses to the brim.

“Uh… uh! Stop! Stop! It’s too much!”

“Filling the first glass to the brim is the standard practice. Didn’t you know?”

“This is the first I’ve heard of it?”

“There is such a thing.”

You might not know, but there is such a thing, child.

Mihail looked at me with doubtful eyes, then shifted his gaze back to the wine glass.

The wine filled the glass to the brim, just about to overflow.

Luckily, thanks to surface tension, it didn’t overflow. Surface tension is reliable!

Mihail and I carefully lifted the glasses to avoid spilling the wine and took a sip.

The taste of the wine was excellent. From the smooth swallow to the aroma and flavor. There was a reason it was displayed in the Lord’s room.

And a piece of cheese put in before the taste of the wine faded.

“Kuu-”

An exclamation naturally came out. You have to eat like this sometimes.

Mihail also seemed to find it delicious, his sad expression relaxing slightly. As expected, alcohol is good. Seeing how it takes effect immediately after one glass.

“By the way, what’s the name of that woman? The one with enough guts to slap the leader of the rebels.”

“If I tell you, you’ll go around blabbering about it everywhere. I’d rather entrust a fish store to a cat.”

“Ah, anyway, you’re the only one here who talks to me, so how could I blabber about it?”

“…… Still no.”

Mihail refused decisively, right to the end. Feeling disappointed, I downed the remaining wine in one gulp.

Eying, I was going to blabber about it if I knew. What a waste, too bad.

Pour, pour

Again, the purple wine filled the transparent wine glass. This time, not to the brim, but just right.

“But are you really going to give up? Knowing your personality, I don’t think you would.”

“What’s my personality like?”

Mihail also downed the remaining wine and poured again. Before we knew it, the bottle that had been full was almost empty.

“You’re persistent. You always see through whatever you want to do, no matter what. Even when you were learning swordsmanship before, you clung to General Pyotr day and night for a week, didn’t you?”

Clink-

Mihail and I clinked our wine glasses again. And swallowed a sip of wine and a piece of cheese.

“You know me well. That’s right, I don’t intend to give up.”

“Really? That’s good. I was anxious you might break up like this.”

“Why are you concerned about my love life? You usually don’t care.”

Mihail asked with a wry smile.

“…….”

Concerned? Uh… indeed.

I looked at the swirling wine.

Now that I think about it, why am I concerned about this guy’s love life? Anyway, there’s probably a truckload of women who like this guy. He could just meet a new woman in a few weeks.

A question suddenly arose. Why am I so concerned?

In my previous life, I didn’t care and just made fun of my friend who got dumped and cried pathetically, so why do I only care about Mihail in a special way?

“…. If you break up like this, it’ll seem like it’s because of me. I hate being at the center of a scandal just as much.”

Yes, this must be why. Even in my previous life, I got worried if I got unnecessarily involved in romantic relationships.

That’s how it is. Yeah, yeah.

Coming to a conclusion made my mind much more at ease.

…. Even though a corner of my mind felt rough.

I smiled to hide my true feelings and clinked my glass again.

Mihail didn’t seem to notice either and just drank the wine without saying anything.

The wine I drank again had a slightly bitter taste lingering.

—

After that, Mihail and I continued drinking wine while chatting.

Topics for chatter kept coming up, such as reminiscing, the war situation, Mihail’s battlefield stories, and so on.

As if there was so much to talk about, the wine bottles piled up on the table had soon become numerous.

“Ugh…..”

A pleasant drunkenness swirled around my body. My cheeks were already flushed, completely like that of a drunkard, and my vision was a little blurry.

Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve been this drunk.

“Is it the first time since the MT…. Heehee…..”

Being completely drunk, words from my heart popped out inadvertently. Laughter also came out senselessly.

Ugh, it’s hot.

How much did I drink? Heat rose throughout my body, making me hot. I took off my cardigan and unbuttoned a few buttons on my shirt.

“Uhehehe….. It’s coolll….”

Then, the cold dawn air touched my cleavage, and my body began to cool down little by little. Hmm, feels good. Hehe.

Pour

“One more glass?”

“Kool..!”

Mihail refilled my empty wine glass with wine. How many times had he refilled it? After exceeding 5 bottles, I gave up counting.

I drank the wine again. Gulp, gulp. Then a hangover beyond comparison surged over me.

Wow, if I drink one more sip, I’ll pass out. My instinct told me that.

I put down the wine I was drinking. I was so drunk, I could smell alcohol with every breath I exhaled.

“Help me out a bit.”

“What iis it?”

My tongue was getting twisted, but I managed to lift my head and look at Mihail.

Even though he was less than two steps away, Mihail’s face didn’t look blurry.

I’m properly drunk. Hhehe.

“Want to go on a date with me?”

“Umm…. What are you saying?”

“Because I don’t know how to treat women. If I take you around, I might be able to learn about women, right?”

“Umm……”

My head was spinning. Mihail’s words only half-registered in my mind.

Women…. know…..

Too much information came into my brain, which was on the verge of passing out. Ugh…. Umm….

“Good!”

Since it’s Mihail, he won’t do anything troublesome. That was the conclusion I reached from the years I had seen him.

Besides, he probably isn’t actually trying to do something with me.

Mihail’s murmuring could be heard. He was definitely saying something, but I couldn’t hold out any longer.

I downed all the remaining wine.

“Hiccup! Hhehehe…..”

Instantly, a tremendous hangover surged, and the strength drained from my body.

I immediately collapsed onto the table. I heard someone’s voice above, but it was muffled as if I were underwater.

My half-open eyes slowly closed.

“Heehee hehehe…..”

Finally, I laughed senselessly and closed my eyes.

Zzzz

A quiet room. Inside the room, illuminated by the faint light of dawn, only Anastasia’s breathing could be heard.

Unlike Anastasia, who had passed out with her face flushed red, Mihail’s cheeks were only slightly flushed, and he didn’t seem completely drunk.

In fact, he only felt a slight buzz and was not completely drunk.

Since he had intentionally kept pace with Anastasia only at the beginning and then, towards the end, drank less himself and only let Anastasia drink, it was perhaps not strange that Anastasia passed out first.

“Asha. Asha.”

Shake shake

Mihail held Anastasia’s shoulder and shook her gently. But Anastasia only let out a hum and fell back asleep.

“You should sleep in bed, Asha.”

Mihail confirmed that Anastasia was asleep and lifted her up in a princess carry.

If it were the usual Anastasia, she would have gotten very angry asking why he was holding her like this, but being asleep, she was just held quietly in Mihail’s arms.

Mihail supported her waist and hips with one hand and stroked her hair with the other as he gently lowered her onto the bed.

“Uuh….”

As if the feeling different from her cot was uncomfortable, Anastasia tossed and turned for a moment but soon adapted and fell back asleep quietly.

But there was something she didn’t know: because of her earlier tossing and turning, her shirt had slipped down further.

Thanks to that, her shirt had slipped down to a level where her nipples were just barely visible or not.

But Mihail, instead of being gentlemanly and covering her with a blanket, instead lay down beside her and admired her upper chest.

It was the first time seeing Asha’s exposure. Mihail was not the kind of person to just let this opportunity, which came like a lightning strike, pass by obediently.

Besides, he didn’t intend to just admire and finish.

Tap

Mihail stealthily unbuttoned one more button on Anastasia’s shirt.

Then a pink nipple slightly peeked out.

Like an animal hiding its form among bushes, the pink color was sticking out slightly between her white skin.

Slide

His hand naturally reached towards such a captivating sight.

Tap tap

He slowly tapped down with his finger from the starting point of her cleavage.

Tap tap tap

And finally, the moment it met the shirt, he opened his hand and grasped Anastasia’s breast.

However, gently so as not to wake her. Mihail, who delicately grasped her breast so Anastasia wouldn’t wake up, moved his hand to savor her breast.

Slide slide

Her soft skin and considerable weight were conveyed to Mihail’s hand without filtering.

“Aah…… Hngh….”

Whenever Mihail rubbed her nipple with his rough palm, Anastasia only tossed and turned a little, letting out cute moans.

Of course, whenever she tossed and turned, Mihail remained still, but he didn’t withdraw his hand.

That’s how Mihail continued touching her breast until the dawn sunlight filled the room.

As he continued to touch her breast, Anastasia’s nipple became stiff and erect, revealing its presence even outside the shirt.

Moreover, a strange heat swirled in Anastasia’s exhaled breaths, and perhaps something was tickling her so much that even in her sleep, she rubbed her private parts against Mihail’s leg.

“Ahh…. Hngh…. Hngh….♡”

This activity only stopped just before Anastasia woke up, feeling intensely aroused.

‘Today, up to here.’

As Anastasia’s breathing became rougher, Mihail took his hand away and held her with both arms.

As Mihail held Anastasia, her breathing slowed down little by little, and she fell back into a deep sleep.

While Anastasia fell back into a deep slumber, Mihail brought his face to the crown of her head.

Anastasia’s unique sweet body scent was fully felt. Perhaps because of her golden bloodline, her unique body scent didn’t disappear no matter how much she sweat.

Mihail boldly hugged Anastasia tightly, trapping her in his embrace.

But even so, Anastasia only let out a small hum and remained quietly held within his embrace.

Mihail was satisfied with that fact and smiled unconsciously.

Now, the time for the rooster to crow is approaching. Then his duties will begin again.

Even for this short time, he wanted to feel Asha with his whole body.

Mihail pulled Anastasia further into his embrace and rested his head on the pillow.

Praying that this would become a mark of affection rather than a mistake of one night in the future, Mihail fell into a deep sleep holding a small wish.

Soon, only small breaths flowed from his lips.
