After experiencing a very minor incident, we returned to the mansion.

I asked if she wanted to take a walk more, but Luna shook her head.

To be honest, I felt the same way as her.

I didn’t think I could go for a walk with a calm mind.

‘Why did they do something like that?’

It must have been because of the atmosphere.

It is often said that emotions become richer at night.

I was definitely influenced by him.

But even so, I should have endured it.

Even if you’re fiancé, aren’t you still in the stage of getting to know each other?

After holding hands, of course it was a hug, but for him to suddenly go in for a kiss, something must have happened to his head.

ha-.

A sigh escaped me as I felt a belated regret.

However, the feeling of putting my hand on my cheek still vividly remained, so I looked at my hand for no reason.

‘It was soft.’

It was surprisingly soft and delicate.

Even so, I had a lot of calluses on my hands, so I was worried that I might get hurt.

It was when I was wringing my hands as I thought about my sentiments.

The tightly closed door opened and Luna, who had changed into her pajamas, came out.

And the two maids who helped Luna change into her pajamas also came out.

Luna still greeted me with an expressionless face, and the two maids had their heads down so that their expressions could not even be recognized.

I’m really glad that he seems to be aware that he made a mistake.

“Melina, Ann.”

“Ne, neet!”

“Yes?!”

When I called, they both flinched.

To be honest, I didn’t really want to punish them.

Haven’t you been confined to a family with no entertainment since you were young?

You don’t have to listen to it to know how interesting Luna and my relationship must have been.

And more than anything, he said he hoped Luna would not punish them.

It was her opinion, just like me, so it was right to accept it.

So it was ultimately decided not to punish the two foolish maids.

However, even so, I couldn’t just ignore it.

Precedents are very important to prevent the same thing from happening.

If we ignore this problem now, there is a possibility that a strange phenomenon will occur where all the employees of the family will follow us around.

Of course, I don’t think the family would be full of such idiots.

Anyway, that’s why I wanted to at least point out the problem.

“You guys know what you did wrong, right?”

“Sin, sorry… . Ha, there is one thing I would like to ask you… .”

Anne said that with a sad expression.

As if he was begging me to listen.

It’s definitely not my position to ask for anything.

However, since it wasn’t particularly difficult, I decided to listen.

Isn’t there such a thing as a final argument?

It feels similar to that.

“I’ll listen to it first.”

“Me, Melina is not guilty of anything. I just forced it.”

“ too, master! That’s not true… .”

I looked down at Melina with cold eyes.

Then she closed her mouth and lowered her head.

Anne is the one who gave me permission to speak.

Even if there was no punishment, now was the time to be polite.

“Ann, is that the end of what you have to say?”

“Well, if possible, I would like to ask you to forgive Melina.”

“Dismissed.”

Melina’s body twitches, and Anne’s expression becomes tinged with despair.

For now, this should be just fine.

If you let them know that you will not be punished for no reason, they may not reflect on themselves.

“Melina, what do you have to say?”

“No, there is… .”

Melina said that with her head down.

There was a lot of moisture in the voice.

“You guys… .”

I was about to say one last word and end, when suddenly I felt a tug on the hem of my clothes.

When I turned my head, Luna was pulling the hem of my clothes and slowly shaking her head from side to side.

Does this mean that I should forgive you because this is enough?

How good is he really?

If it was Luna, it could be said that it was Luna.

I whispered softly in her ear.

“I will say one last word and send you back.”

Luna nodded.

It means that he understands that much.

However, I was worried about why I wouldn’t let go of the hem of my clothes, so it was difficult to create a solemn atmosphere.

So in the end, I spoke in the right atmosphere and in the right voice.

If this was her plan too, it can only be said to be truly amazing.

“You guys, never do that again. Luna told me not to punish her, so she gave me special attention, but there is no next time.”

“That means… .”

“Okay, it’s late, so go back to sleep. And Anne, you do a great job helping Luna avoid any inconveniences.”

Not guilty, but not punished.

After that decision was made, the two looked at each other for a moment and then turned their heads towards us.

“Thank you so much.”

“Thank you.”

The two bowed their heads, looked around, and then took a step forward.

I watched the two walk away and then turned around.

It was an action to face Luna, but the result was different because she was holding the hem of my clothes tightly.

Pook-.

She spread her arms haphazardly and buried her face in my chest.

I wonder how light the body is to be dragged into something like this.

What on earth is this cute creature?

We held hands and even had an unexpected hug.

If you do that, then… .

‘What happened to my real hair?’

I shook my head to clear my thoughts and spoke quietly.

“Are you okay?”

I was worried that I might have hit my face hard.

However, Luna chose to run away instead of answering.

She turned around and hurriedly ran towards the room.

thud-!

Without even a chance to say anything, the door closed tightly.

Did I hate it that much?

Well, wasn’t it right after that happened in the garden?

It was a completely understandable reaction.

still… .

‘I’m a little upset.’

I sighed and took a step forward.

The hallway I was left in felt particularly lonely.

I was just about to pass by Luna’s room and go to my room.

Squeak-.

I heard the door opening.

When I turned my head, Luna was there, sticking her head out through the crack in the door, looking at me.

I tilted my head and asked.

I kept my expression full of regret as low as possible.

“Do you have any inconveniences?”

Luna shook her head left and right, then slowly nodded and entered, closing the door again.

At the spot where she disappeared, there was this written in small letters:

[Good night.]

Because of her actions, I was able to let go of all the regret I had felt just before.

It was a night when I felt like I could sleep really well.

* * * * *

I woke up earlier than usual and got out of bed.

To be more precise, it would be better to say that I didn’t sleep well.

‘It’s so hard to sleep well…’ .’

Isn’t Luna sleeping across from one wall?

I couldn’t sleep because I couldn’t calm down.

We must have been in bed together before, so how could we be so nervous now?

If you think about it, I didn’t sleep well back then either.

Anyway, I can’t put off what I have to do today just because I didn’t sleep.

Absolutely not as long as Luna and the village inspection are scheduled.

“Master, did you cough?”

When the time came, Melina came into the room as usual.

I still felt a little intimidated, but it wasn’t a big concern.

After that, it wasn’t much different from usual.

I went outside, warmed up a bit, and then ran along the outer wall of the castle.

I thought I had gained some stamina now, but it was still too much to catch up with the knights.

Is it at least similar to the youngest knight?

Well, it would be even weirder if I already caught up with those who had trained their whole lives.

So I ran until my legs could no longer move.

Up to this point, it was as usual.

However, when I returned to the mansion, something a little, no, a lot different from usual happened.

As always, I was about to enter the mansion with shaky legs and heavy breathing, but there was someone standing at the entrance.

“Luna… ?”

Luna was standing at the entrance of the mansion.

Holding a neatly folded towel in my hand.

As I approached, she carefully handed me a towel.

I couldn’t understand this situation and just blinked.

Of course, I took the towel she handed me long ago.

At that time, I saw Melina and Ann smiling faintly in a corner of my vision.

Only then did I realize it.

That these two foolish maids did what they did.

I really don’t know what to do with them… .

‘Should I secretly give a prize?’

I didn’t steal anything, at most I just gave advice to Luna.

There wasn’t really anything to take issue with.

On the contrary, I even felt grateful for allowing me to have this experience.

Afterwards, I briefly washed my body and had breakfast.

The meal where all the precious people, including father, mother, and Luna, gathered was ordinary but special.

However, that feeling was only temporary.

I was so hungry that I immediately concentrated on eating.

I ate it as carefully as I could, out of fear of making Luna look bad.

Swordsmanship training with my father who came like that.

my father told me

“Albert, do you remember using Auror yesterday?”

“Are you talking about an Auror…? ?”

Sometimes I think I know, sometimes I don’t.

The memories with Luna were so shocking that I forgot everything else.
