Chapter 49

“Ohh….”

In this world, I had only read textbooks as books.

I didn’t have a habit of reading books normally, so I didn’t read them.

Was that why?

“This is interesting….”

I was reading a book alone in my room since Kyle had gone out for heir succession lessons.

The book Kyle had given me.

It felt like Kyle’s warmth remained in it somehow.

I roughly read it and then closed it.

It was interesting, but not enough to read all day.

It was entertaining because it had somewhat stimulating elements.

“When will he come back….”

Although it had been only 30 minutes since Kyle left, I was extremely bored.

Perhaps my concentration was quite low.

Only 30 minutes had passed since I started reading the book….

“Still about 2 hours…? left until he returns.”

I couldn’t go meet Kyle, but anyway, there were about 2 hours left until he returned.

I wasn’t sure what to do until then.

“…Maybe I’ll read another book?”

That doesn’t seem bad.

Kyle had given me many books.

“Hmm…. ‘I Became the Academy’s Top Salmon Chef,’ ‘I Found Breast Pads in Grandfather’s Piggy Bank,’ ‘After Drinking Cider, I Gained the Ability to Generate Sweet Potatoes’…”

It seemed like there were many slightly strange books besides the one I first read.

I don’t understand what these titles even mean.

They were literally something something….

“…”

They were all books Kyle had brought.

There were several others besides these.

It’s amazing to think that Kyle brought all these books at once.

I envied the strength to be able to carry all this at once.

Since I only worked without exercising, I was just a pathetic servant.

“‘I Became a Young Lord Who Sleeps with His Tutor’?”

The title was extremely stimulating.

A completely different feeling from the other books.

“Hmm….”

Additionally, the cover had a slightly different feel.

Unlike other books, the cover had an extremely colorful picture and a sexy female character.

Like a light novel I saw in my past life or something like that.

“Looks interesting.”

I took a new book from the collection Kyle had left.

That book I just came across.

And I began reading it until Kyle returned.

The content itself wasn’t much.

It was exactly as the title suggested.

The protagonist, who suddenly found himself possessing the body of a young lord who had been unconscious for months, sleeps with the female protagonist tutor who was on the cover.

The heroine tutor was a somewhat foolish character.

A character who casually seduces the protagonist.

Seriously, how can someone seduce someone and not even realize they’re seducing them?

“….”

By the way, this was in the study?

It was the kind of book that was seriously bad for a child’s mental development.

Stimulating, violent, suggestive.

It was a book containing exactly those three elements.

“Oh my, oh my….”

I kept looking at the cover while reading the book.

Partly to see the female character on the cover, and partly to check if this book was really suitable for minors to read.

“Huh….”

One thing for sure is that this type of book should be removed from the study.

To think there would be such books in Eristirol Castle.

It wasn’t right.

“First, I’ll hide this book….”

Since there were probably so many books, they probably wouldn’t notice if one disappeared.

Probably?

-Knock knock.

“Come in.”

“Miss Sofia.”

“Ah, it was you, young master.”

Someone knocked on the door, so I said to come in.

And it was Kyle.

It didn’t seem like much time had passed since I started reading the book, but two hours had already gone by.

“Have you been resting well?”

“Hmm…. I’ve been spending time reading the books you gave me.”

“Ah, how are they? I brought books from the study.”

“Is that so…?”

It seemed like there were many books that needed to be burned in the study, not just the one I just read.

“Yes.”

Kyle was sitting beside me, peeling an apple for me.

Perhaps because he learned swordsmanship from Elin, he peeled apples well too.

He would probably make a good husband later.

Most women like domestic men, right?

Kyle will probably be a good husband too.

“Please eat.”

“Yes.”

I ate the apple Kyle handed me.

An apple was an apple.

But maybe because Kyle gave it to me, it seemed to taste a bit better.

“It’s delicious.”

“It’s not like I brought it myself. What are you saying?”

“No. It’s more delicious because you gave it to me.”

It didn’t taste this good when Elin gave it to me.

It’s tasty because Kyle gave it to me.

“…I’m grateful if you say so.”

I smiled while looking at Kyle.

Kyle was looking at my leg and body.

He must still be worried about my injured body.

“Young master, let’s stop looking.”

“…. Yes.”

“I’m really fine. I’ve said many times not to worry. It’s enough that you’re helping me like this.”

It was a sincere request to Kyle.

It’s already in the past, why does he keep worrying…

“Is there anything else you need?”

“No. It’s enough that you’re staying by my side like this.”

There wasn’t anything particular I wanted.

My leg hurt, but it was just pain.

It didn’t hurt much as long as I didn’t walk directly.

And Kyle was helping me by my side.

Whether washing, walking down the hallway, or normally, he was helping me, so it wasn’t much of a problem.

“The young master is always by my side.”

“…… That’s true.”

“What more would I need when I have someone staying by my side?”

“…”

To begin with, I’m not someone who desires much.

As for food, it was fine as long as I could eat.

Of course, it was better if it was delicious.

From the beginning, I’ve lived for years in a place with good baths, delicious food, and enjoyable work.

“Anyway, I’m fine.”

“Then let’s have a meal. You haven’t had dinner yet, right?”

“That’s right.”

After eating lunch, I had been quietly staying in my room.

“Then let’s go have a meal together. Father has allowed us to eat together.”

“Uh…. really?”

The head of the family allowed a servant to eat together?

That was surprising.

“Even so, eating with a servant is…”

Isn’t that too lowly?

An ordinary noble wouldn’t have thought that way.

Indeed, the head of the family seemed free in many ways.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been absent for years.

“It’s fine. Even if Father stops it, I’ll allow it.”

“…”

Honestly, Kyle looked quite cool.

Anyway, I moved with Kyle’s support.

Perhaps because I received Kyle’s help every time I moved like this, Kyle looked very dependable.

Is this an alpha male?

Well, he was nearly 190cm tall, with shoulders close to 60cm.

Add to that his incredible muscles and handsome face, and there would be no problem calling him an alpha male.

“Thank you.”

That’s how I sat at the dining hall.

It felt very strange for me to sit in the place where Eristirol’s family or guests usually sat.

Normally, I would just stand quietly in the back, waiting.

“Oh…. ohh……”

This dining room, the food was amazing!

The food the servants ate wasn’t bad quality either.

Since employee welfare was very good here, it was naturally good.

But what the nobles actually ate was different.

“W…. wow……”

It was truly at a level where I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

It was really incredible!

If I were someone who went around looking for good restaurants, I would have given Eristirol Castle 50 points out of 5.

It was that amazing quality.

“Y…. young master, is it really alright for me to eat something like this…?”

Am I actually dreaming?

Otherwise, there’s no way I would get to eat such food….

It really didn’t make sense.

Is it really okay for such good food to enter my mouth?

“B…. before eating, I should first express my gratitude….”

“You don’t need to. You’ll be able to eat it always in the future anyway.”

“You…. really?!”

Being able to always eat such food?

It really didn’t make sense….

“Yes. Eat quickly. You should eat before it gets cold.”

“Y…. y…. yes…!”

I put the meat stew from the table into my mouth.

“O…. ohh….”

“How is it?”

“It’s the best….”

It was truly amazing.

Is this food?

Perhaps what I’ve been eating until now wasn’t food?

Maybe they were all just ingredients masquerading as food?

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a difference.

Even the food I had eaten at parties before wasn’t this good.

Even though it was a party, it was food served in the capital!

“Enjoy your meal.”

Maybe I became half-crippled for the sake of eating this food right now?

Yes, eating this food seems better than wearing a cast for over 2 months.

I really won’t be able to eat this food for the rest of my life.

Even if I serve this family for life, the food I’ll ultimately eat is from the servant’s dining room.

I’m eating like this because Kyle feels responsible.

After my body heals, I probably won’t be able to eat like this.

Kyle says I can eat like this for life, but that wouldn’t be proper.

So now, there was only one important thing.

“Thank you, young master….”

I really couldn’t help but say this.

“Eat comfortably. If you’re uncomfortable, I’ll feed you.”

“Really?”

Because of the bandages, it was extremely inconvenient to eat food that was far away.

But if Kyle fed me, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Rather, it would make eating more comfortable.

“Then I would appreciate it if you could give me that braised meat over there. It’s hard to eat because it’s far away….”

“Yes.”

Kyle roughly scooped up the braised meat with a spoon and fed it to me.

It was seriously the best taste among all the foods I had ever eaten.

I would be happy if I could eat this food for the rest of my life.

Is this what other nobles usually eat?
