The platinum hair shimmered silver under the blue moonlight, capturing and reflecting its glow as it swayed.

Seated by the moonlit window, Eleonore gazed out at the darkened garden beneath the black veil of night.

Having just finished her bath and drying her hair, Eleonore’s body felt more alive than usual. The cool night breeze from the window gently enveloped her heightened form.

Brushing aside her reddened cheeks with a graceful sweep of her side-swept hair, Eleonore gazed beyond the garden to a distant place.

Due to her temporary illness, Eleonore found herself inadvertently confined within the mansion. For her, stargazing served as a reminder that this place was unlike any other world.

The moon, hanging softly in the night sky, appeared much bluer than the moon she occasionally glimpsed beyond the balcony.

Above the yellow glow of distant streetlights, the sea of stars unfolded, a sight unseen in the bustling alleyways of entertainment districts.

“A highball… sounds tempting.”

Caught up in the atmosphere, Eleonore unwittingly adopted a sophisticated demeanor, murmuring to herself.

Startled, Eleonore quickly turned around.

It was quite amusing to see her react to her own words with surprise.

Fortunately, there was no one to hear her. Though the heavy bedroom door was partially ajar, no one had entered the room.

In essence, this meant that even if Eleonore uttered strange words, there was no one to cast a pitiful glance upon her.

Well, since no one’s watching, should I just let loose completely? I haven’t even properly examined this lady’s body yet. Should I make a move today?

Especially when that voluptuous married woman, Lorsua, has been poking around everywhere and causing a stir.

Rough words, incongruent with her gentle voice, flowed past her pink lips.

In truth, Eleonore was currently in a state of dissatisfaction.

Initially, the young man who became the servant was once a robust individual.

A healthy man now found himself entwined with the scent of a woman emanating from the lady’s body.

While they say the mind follows the body, Eleonore’s mind still lingered steadfastly with the servant’s persona.

However, due to various unfamiliar circumstances, she had pretended not to notice certain things she had seen before.

Moreover, there were many eyes around when it came to exploring the mysteries of the female body.

Even when changing clothes, bathing, and even at the bathroom door, the maids trailed Eleonore closely.

Even the head maid, Sophie, would stick close until Eleonore fell asleep.

But now, things were different.

Filling Eleonore’s spacious chamber were only a lady with flushed cheeks and a bluish moonlight.

Eleonore took a deep breath.

Yes, after all, it’s my body. I can’t live like this forever, can I?

Her small, white hand gently grasped the soft bosom atop the white nightdress.

Under her thumb, the thick palm passed over the peak of the angry bosom.

Her slender white shoulders trembled slightly.

Soon, a moist, sticky voice trickled down from her red lips.

“Uh, ah, hah…”

It was a sensation she had never experienced before.

Merely brushing against the thin fabric had already brought an unexplored pleasure to Eleonore through the well-defined pink peaks.

Gradually, warmth began to emanate from her slender body.

Chilled by the cool night air, her body that had cooled down began to heat up softly once again.

And her body was silently telling its owner that it needed something.

If she were the innocent Eleanor who knew nothing, she probably wouldn’t understand what this reaction meant.

Having lived as a man for 21 years, Seoju knew well what her body desired now.

However, what her body desired was something Seoju could never provide.

Physically and mentally, that was the case.

So Eleanor just bit her lower lip tightly and fervently rubbed her thighs together.

Just a little touch…

Because it’s scary, just a slight touch upwards—

“Miss, the night air is chilly.”

“Eek!”

Cute yet somewhat sticky screams filled Eleanor’s bedroom.

At Sophie’s voice, Eleanor jolted up from her seat by the window.

“Sophie! Seriously! I almost fell out of the window!”

“I-I’m sorry. But I did knock before entering your room.”

At the lady’s scolding, Sophie’s face fell as she lowered her head in embarrassment.

With a voice full of dismay, Eleanor felt unnecessarily sorry as Sophie mumbled.

“Ah… You did knock. Sorry, I must not have heard. I was just… thinking about something.”

Unfortunately, the lady, who had only been living as a woman for a mere two weeks, was faced with a cunning girl who had lived her whole life as a woman.

In response to the lady’s bewildered voice, Sophie gently raised her head.

Slightly smiling, knowing she expected this, she lifted the corners of her mouth and approached the window cheerfully.

“Hehe. It’s okay. I’ll close the window then.”

Only then did Eleanor realize Sophie’s intentions, but she was too engrossed in exploring femininity to say anything.

Preventing Sophie from opening the window to close it, Eleanor stopped her.

“Sophie, can you wait a bit longer before closing it?”

“Huh? Aren’t you cold?”

“N-no, I’m fine. I spent a long time in the bath, so I’m still a bit warm, hahaha.”

It was a lie.

Her body was indeed heated up, but the reason was entirely different.

Of course, Sophie didn’t know the reason. So she just went along with it.

“I’ll close the window for you. Sophie, you should go rest now.”

“Oh, I’ll wait until you fall asleep.”

“How would I know when I’ll sleep? I’m feeling much better now, so don’t worry. Go and rest. You’ve had a tough day today in many ways.”

A bright smile blossomed on the lady’s previously cold face.

Just a month ago, the lady who always wore a smile on her face now found it hard to find that smile.

Sophie looked at the lady’s smile and pondered for a moment.

Since falling ill, Sophie had been watching over the lady until she fell asleep.

Checking the lady’s breathing as her golden eyelashes gently descended, Sophie would leave the bedroom after making sure everything was alright.

Without anyone asking, solely as the lady’s personal maid, Sophie had been observing the lady closely recently.

But as the lady said, her body was gradually returning to its original state, and today, seeing the lady’s precious smile after a long time, Sophie decided.

Seemingly resolved, Sophie politely bowed and bid farewell to Eleanor.

“I’ve made some hot cocoa. Please have it before it cools. Have a good night, Miss.”

With those words, Sophie retreated backward and left the bedroom.

The heavy wooden door closed with a loud thud that matched its appearance.

Alone in the moonlit room filled with a soft blue glow, Eleanor remained.

In her swaying hair caught in the night breeze, a fragrant rose scent wafted.

Eleanor thought that scent mingled well with the chilly night air.

The woman’s body, once ablaze, was now cooling off gradually through her conversation with Sophie.

Eleanor watched as Sophie held the hot cocoa and perched by the window sill, gazing outside.

With the door shut, snuggled under the blanket…

Just a little more…

Even though her body had cooled down, her mind remained the same.

Though she had anticipated the outing, Eleanor wasn’t feeling as good as she had hoped.

She admired the splendid exterior and stylish interior but found the carriage ride uncomfortable.

The carriage, speeding along, shook vigorously matching its pace, occasionally jolting when something caught in the wheels, causing Eleanor’s light body to float momentarily in the air.

However, her discomfort wasn’t solely due to the carriage’s rough ride.

“Elli, are you okay? You look pale. Are you feeling queasy?”

The biggest issue right now was her physical condition, just as Albris had pointed out.

Perhaps catching a cold from a slight exposure to the night breeze or maybe due to yesterday’s strenuous dance lesson with Lorsua.

Upon waking up, Eleanor felt slightly dizzy, various parts of her body aching.

Her forehead was warm, her waist sore, and today her chest felt unusually heavy, prompting her to tighten the corset around her chest more firmly.

“No, I’m fine. I might have overexerted myself yesterday.”

It was also a journey to meet unfamiliar parents, and not wanting to worry people again, Eleanor replied cheerfully.

Whether known or unknown to her feelings, the carriage finally settled after a long period of rocking Eleanor’s waist.

As the road changed, the carriage’s sway softened.

Now Eleanor could leisurely admire the scenery outside.

Entering the city, the surroundings transformed drastically.

From a quiet rural road with occasional grand mansions visible among trees and shrubs, it turned into a city packed with buildings.

It felt like watching a travel video on YouTube.

The landscapes she had secretly watched between genuine travelers, promising herself to visit someday, were now right before Eleanor’s eyes.

She felt like jumping off the moving carriage immediately.

However, with her delicate body, risking a jump would likely result in injury, leading to being confined in the mansion again.

No, Albris, who seemed concerned about her well-being from the start, wouldn’t allow such recklessness.

So Eleanor held her pounding heart within and absentmindedly gazed out the window.
