Book 5: Chapter 35: The Consequences of Cross-Dressing

“So that’s how it is. I didn’t expect him to really be a man.”

Lesiah stared at Kieran, who had taken his wig off, in shock. Given his stunning appearance, no one would believe he was a guy unless they verified it with their own eyes.

Lesiah could not help but feel admiration toward this man who could wear a maid’s dress so confidently in broad daylight like it was nothing. This was no small feat, even for ordinary women.

In fact, even the maids who had been trained by the Macedonian palace since young would not run errands outside of the palace in a maid dress.

“Hmph, it’s all because of this little devil! Do you have any idea how much she has made me suffer?”

Kieran threw his wig on the table in frustration. He pretty much got used to the feeling of shame after being forced to wear this outfit in public for the past six months.

At the beginning, Kieran felt as though his entire world was crashing down. He holed himself up in his room all day, too embarrassed to face anyone. He tried numerous methods to rid himself of the dress, but to no avail. Eventually, he understood that he was not going to be able to solve this problem on his own so he had no choice but to embrace the situation.

The Illusion Gem Lilith gave him somehow suddenly ceased to work. As a result, his true face was instantly exposed in front of over forty people attending the class. From then on, Kieran felt as though nothing else mattered.

Even when his girlfriend broke up with him following the incident, it did not make much of an impact on his heart.

Time was truly the most terrifying force. It could slowly heal even the deepest wound until not even a scar was left behind.

Leonith rubbed his cheek. The bruise on it began to fade at a speed visible to the naked eye. When Kieran expressed his frustration, he curled his lips in annoyance.

“Well, you asked for it. You were arrogantly enough to brag about making me your possession. If you’re going to speak so brazenly, shouldn’t you at least be prepared to bear the consequences of your words?”

“You...”

Kieran glared sharply at Leonith, but failed to make a retort. He could not deny that he found himself in his current predicament because he was too young and naive back then. He thought he could easily bully a first-year student just because he was the best among the second-year students.

He even firmly believed that he had succeeded in gaining two cute little maids to serve him at that point.

He had never expected a special existence like this little devil, who could easily shatter his pride with just a single punch, was hidden among the first-year students.

“But you didn’t have to be so brutal with me! Do you know that my life for the past six months has been worse than hell after my appearance was exposed?”

Kieran held his head in agony as he was forced to relive the painful memories.

“My girlfriend broke up with me, and the whole academy decided to label me as a pervert. Even the teacher who used to treat me with respect now looks at me in disgust. Not only that, my family made me attend counseling every day.

“Thea is the stupid one.”

“Lilith is stupid!”

“No, you’re stupid!”

“You two really get along quite well, huh? Perhaps I should join in too.” Lesiah suddenly interjected with a glum expression.

“Ahem, no. We’re done. We’re done!” Leonith cleared his throat and sat back down. To shift the conversation, Leonith turned to Kieran and asked, “By the way, what brings you to this kind of place? Didn’t you just mention that your girlfriend broke up with you?”

Leonith suddenly had a realization, and a small smile formed on his face. He leisurely rested his chin on his hands as he made a guess.

“Could it be that... you’ve already come to terms with your true feelings, despite always complaining about your miserable life? You have realized what your heart truly desires and understand that women are merely fleeting clouds in your life, that’s why... you came to this love hotel in a maid’s dress?”

“Nothing of that sort. I’m here for business!”

“Business?” Leonith repeated in shock.

“Have you finally resorted to being a cross-dressing sugar baby?”

Kieran looked clearly offended by Leonith’s question. “That’s enough, you little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲!”

Durance, who had been silent for quite some time, finally spoke up and clarified, “Kieran came here with me. We do have an important business to attend to.”

Leonith raised an eyebrow at him. “Is it a date or a blind date?”

“You better watch what you say.”

Seeing that Kieran was ready to slug him in the face, Leonith waved his hand dismissively and chuckled. “Haha, relax! It was just a joke.”

After what you did just now, it’s only right I get even with you.

Seeing that Leonith had no intention to continue joking around, Kieran grunted and sat down on the chair.

Durance, who was sitting next to Kieran, suddenly slid his chair away from him and said in a serious tone, “Don’t get any funny idea. I’m solely devoted to my rapier. No matter how attractive Kieran looks, I only consider him a regular friend and nothing else.”

Kieran remained silent.
