After that, there was no conversation or questions of any kind. No. 25 followed behind Aser, looking as if he was thinking deeply about something, and Aser secretly blushed, wondering if No. 25 had discovered his true feelings.

Arriving at the Demon King’s Castle, Aser naturally entrusted his outer clothes to the maid who welcomed him.

“Did you get all the water in the bathroom?”

“Yes.”

Soaking in hot water after a hard day was one of Aser’s daily routines.

Before heading to the bathhouse, Aser turned around and looked at No. 25 and asked indifferently.

“No. 25, shall we wash together?”

“Yes!?”

Number 25 raised his head and asked back at the unexpected suggestion. Aser saw that reaction and laughed as if it was amusing.

“It’s a joke. As I said before, I have no intention of forcing you to do something you don’t like.”

Aser’s expression was fleeting enough to say it was a joke, but he looked lonely. Before No. 25 had time to say anything, Aser walked towards the bathhouse located at the end of the hallway.

When we arrived at the locker room and slowly took off our clothes, Aser’s voluptuous breasts, which had been hidden under clothes all day, were revealed. Usually, when it comes to breasts, the bigger they are, the more difficult it is to get them to look beautiful. But Aser did not fall into either category.

Although her breasts were large, they did not sag and had a perfect curve.

In addition, her slim waist and buttocks shaped for easy childbirth for the prosperity of the race beneath it made her a top-quality female body that even other women would be jealous of.

The body glistening with sweat even added a strange sensuality. Aser went straight into the bathhouse without even a single cloth on his body.

When the door was opened, Aser was greeted by the humid heat emanating from it.

When I took a deep dive into the demon king’s private bath, where a lion statue spewed hot water at the very back of the bathhouse, the water overflowed with a crash.

“Ha… .”

I closed my eyes and looked back on my day.

‘Did you make any mistakes today? How should I treat No. 25? Should I speak a little more kindly? No, the majesty of the Demon King must still be maintained… .’

While I was thinking about this and that, I heard a familiar voice and the sound of water splashing and overflowing.

“Can I wash it too?”

It was Charlotte. Aser seemed familiar and opened his mouth without even opening his closed eyes.

“When have you ever come in without my permission? Rather, it was already in to begin with.”

“Well, let’s not worry about such trivial things.”

As Charlotte said, it didn’t really matter. Charlotte clasped her hands in the bathtub and stretched out. He opened his mouth in a slow tone, probably feeling better.

“Ha~ This is really nice.”

Aser asked, still not looking in Charlotte’s direction.

“So what’s going on?”

“What’s going on?”

“Don’t act like a fool. If you have something to say to me, you come to me every time I take a bath.”

Charlotte smirked.

“Hey, I got caught.”

Aser sighed deeply.

“Why is it time to take a bath? If it’s a conversation, you can have it even if it’s not now.”

“Isn’t it true that we have to be naked to have a true conversation?”

Aser burst into laughter at Charlotte’s strange logic.

“Okay, then let’s talk about it.”

At the very least, it would be trivial content. Aser thought so and relaxed. But Charlotte’s question afterwards was enough to shatter that composure at once.

“What do you think about No. 25?”

Aser was quite embarrassed by Charlotte’s question and stuttered.

“Uh, what do you think?”

“No, I asked if I could have it if I thought of it as a simple slave. The more I look at it, the more I like it.”

Aser’s expression, which had been smiling the entire time, suddenly hardened. My heart started beating rapidly. The blood vessels in my entire body were racing, and my face was turning red not from the heat of the bath, but from anger.

“What?”

Charlotte immediately denied the words she had just spoken at Aser’s harsh expression towards her, which she had never seen before.

“It’s a joke. The Demon King was acting so slyly that I tried to at least give him a warning.”

With that one word, Aser’s expression relaxed again.

“Yeah, right? Jokes like that are prohibited from now on.”

Charlotte narrowed her eyes and became lost in thought at the sight of Aser rubbing his chest.

‘I don’t want to be caught for a while.’

If his twisted relationship with No. 25 was discovered, at least he would be dismissed, and at worst, he would die. Charlotte, who has lived for a long time, has seen the end of many women who stole other men.

The murder, which was intertwined with insanity, was one of the most gruesome murders that basically involved mutilation and hacking of the body.

I had already noticed that Aser had a crush on No. 25, but I didn’t expect it to be this deep.

Charlotte stood up with the sound of splashing water.

“I will wake up first.”

“Are you leaving already?”

“Unlike you, I have a lot of work to do.”

“I mean… .”

After Charlotte left, Aser was alone in his thoughts, pondering what Charlotte had said. He was the one who found No. 25 in that pile of trash. Of course he thought it was his, but that was a very arrogant thought.

I couldn’t control No. 25’s feelings as I wanted. It shouldn’t happen, but what if someone else in this castle takes number 25? It’s impossible to know everything that happens between a man and a woman.

Of course, the person who stole it will not be left alone, but then what kind of sadness will No. 25 experience after losing his loved one? Aser himself becomes a person who can never receive affection again.

Just looking at their positions, they are a king and a slave. It was easy to lust after No. 25’s body at will by simply giving an order. But what’s the point in such a physical relationship?

The more I thought about it, the more painful it became. It was my first time falling for someone like this. And I never dreamed that my first time would be as a slave.

I couldn’t delay any longer. I couldn’t lose No. 25 to someone else. No. 25 promised not to do anything he doesn’t like, but wouldn’t it be okay to enjoy it this much? Aser comforted himself like that and got up.

I immediately got out of the bath, put on only a white bathrobe, and went outside.

He simply said something to the maid who was waiting to receive him in front of the bathhouse.

“No. 25, tell me to come to my room right away.”

The maid bowed her head.

“Yes, I understand.”

Aser was drying his hair in his room, soothing his heart that was beating faster than usual. I felt like I had returned to being a girl.

‘calm down. You’re just asking slaves to do the work, right? Yes, he should do this too.’

At that time, someone knocked on the door. Uncharacteristically for a woman, the only people who could enter a room full of dolls were Charlotte or someone directly called by Aser.

Aser cleared his throat and spoke to the other side of the door in a somewhat authoritative voice.

“Come in.”

Of course, it was number 25 who opened the door and came in. Number 25 was already getting ready for bed and was wearing slightly loose, light blue pajamas. The pale flesh visible between the open buttons drove Aser crazy, but he managed to keep his composure.

Aser sat down on the bed and crossed his legs.

“Who was getting ready for bed?”

No. 25’s pupils were trembling as if he was embarrassed. Oh no, I didn’t mean to say this. Aser felt regret again. Number 25 bowed his head and apologized to Aser.

“Sorry, sorry. Charlotte said you can sleep if you’re tired… .”

When Charlotte’s name came out of No. 25’s mouth, something felt bad. Aser spoke to No. 25 in a slightly prickly tone.

“There is still work left to do. No. 25, whose orders should you listen to?”

Number 25 responded with a trembling voice to Aser’s speaking tone, which was different from usual.

“This is the Demon King’s order.”

Aser pointed to the seat right next to him.

“Come here and sit.”

Number 25 hesitantly went and sat down next to Aser. The bed I felt under my hips was much softer than the one in Charlotte’s room.

Above all, the faint scent of Aser, who had just finished showering, felt right next to him, making No. 25 lose his senses.

Aser picked up a water bottle-shaped bottle from the small dresser next to the bed and handed it to No. 25.

The bottle Aser gave me had a strangely sweet scent and the sound of water lapping. Number 25, who received the bottle, tilted his head and asked at the scent coming from the bottle.

“What is this?”

After finishing speaking, No. 25 instinctively looked at Aser and almost dropped the bottle on the bed in surprise. What caught the eye of No. 25 was Aser, who was slowly taking off his gown by undoing the straps.

“Demon Lord!?”

Aser slightly lowered her gown to reveal half of her collarbone and chest and spoke to No. 25.

“Massage me with that.”
