Chapter 51 – The uncouth lady builds a shelter

Sutrena is a sparsely populated territory in the Desnim kingdom.

Most of the people live clustered near the center of town, while the rest live in scattered settlements in remote areas.

Because of the distance between settlements, travel by horse or beast is necessary.

The central town is the most affected by magical beasts, and I have already enchanted the walls that surround the town with my material strengthening spell.

The people who will gather at the shelter will be mainly those who live around the walls of the central city and those from the villages.

I was working as a maid to maintain the halls of the mansion to serve as a shelter.

It was a huge task even with all the maids working together because the house was so spacious.

Meanwhile, Lord Nazel was in a meeting with the leaders of each village in a room in the mansion.

Since I had already greeted them as the lady of the house before I changed into my maid costume, I had free time until the meeting was over.

When the cleaning of the hall was finished, I went to the kitchen to prepare some refreshments ......

"Wha......?"

Along the way, I was caught by Lord Nazel, who was out in the hallway.

"Lord Nazel? What happened to the meeting?"

"Well, the important part is over, so we decided to take a short break."

"Then we'll have drinks and snacks at ......."

"Kelly, I'm sorry, but I'm counting on you."

Kelly, who had been following me for some time, gave us a nonchalant thumbs-up. I guess she meant "Okay". She still has a blank expression on her face, but now she seems to be somewhat happy.

Lord Nazel took me away to his room in my maid's outfit.

"Thank you for your hard work."

I sit between Lord Nazel's knees on the bed while he holds me tightly.

Perhaps because of my confession, Lord Nazel's behavior became even bolder than before.

"Agnes, can you let me do this for a little while until the break is over?"

Lord Nazel's breath on my neck was a great distraction. Heat gathers in my face and I feel intensely embarrassed.

I turned around and saw Lord Nazel's face close by, peering at me.

"Oh, um. I'm a little embarrassed about this situation."

"Then we'll get used to it, won't we?"

Merciless ......! 

Lord Nazel would not let me go.

His fingertips lifted my chin and his lips slowly descended.

"W, Wait......."

"I will not wait."

Seeing the saintly Lord Nazel's eyes lit up with a passion that I could not resist, I realized that no matter what excuses I made, I would not be able to escape.

But the glamorous Lord Nazel's eyes narrowed happily and seeing this made my embarrassment bearable.

"I love you, Agnes."

"I love you too, Lord Nazel."

I am relieved to be able to say it without biting my lip this time.

I looked at Lord Nazel with a dazed mind after being kissed several times. He smiled at me and pushed me down on the bed with his gentle hands, holding me in his arms.

At the same time, the door is slammed forcefully with a bang. I'm worried it might break the door with how strong it was.

"Lord Nazelbert! It's time to go! The break is over!"

Torre's voice echoes from outside. He must have come to call us because the time to resume the meeting was approaching.

Lord Nazel did not seem to want to go, but he was reluctant to cancel the meeting and stood up reluctantly. I cheered him on.

"Lord Nazel, please do your best."

"Thank you, Agnes."

Lord Nazel covered his face with one hand and mumbled, "Cute, cute......" as he walked away. I'm worried.

He seemed to be so tired that he was mumbling funny things, so I'll have a menu for dinner that is good for recovering from fatigue.

I got up with a start and headed straight for Meyza, the cook.
