At 9 o’clock on the night of the tea party, Gresis-sama came to my private room with a lot of ribbons in his hands.
“As I told Timir, I collected the ribbons from everyone at the time of the celebration. As promised, everyone returned safely.”
I received the ribbons from Gresis-sama. The ribbons were frayed, and they were dirty with blood, and the fierceness of the subjugation could be imagined.
“It’s really good.”
I held the ribbons tightly to my chest and was pleased with the safety of Gresis-sama and everyone.
“I’ll make amulet ribbons again.”
Did I say something wrong?
Gresis-sama has a wrinkle between his eyebrows.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t want you to make ribbons. It’s never a nuisance. I know everyone will be happy, but I don’t like it. That. . . even though it’s a ritual, another man kisses the hands of Lilith.”
Gresis-sama took my hand.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t think of it like that. I don’t want to see Gresis-sama kiss other women either. I would appreciate it if they could take it more easily. . .”
“That would be impossible. I guess they want to express joy and loyalty with the greatest gratitude.”
I wondered if there was anything else.
“Then, how about food? I heard from Dolph that there is a three o’clock break in the Knights. If it’s sweet, won’t it get rid of fatigue?”
“Everyone will be happy about it. I can also have an excuse to meet Lilith.”
“I’m also happy to meet Gresis-sama. Do you have any requests?”
“I like Lilith’s cookies. I can eat as much as I want.”
“Then, I’ll make cookies.”
After breakfast the next day, I asked Bane right away.
“. . . That’s why I want to use the kitchen again, Bane.”
“Leave the oven to the cooks. It’s fine.”
“I understand. I promise. Thank you, Bane.”
“Well, don’t hold my hand. I don’t want to die yet.”
I got permission from Bane, who misunderstood Gresis-sama for some reason, and started making cookies.
Compared to last time, I have to make quite a lot.
Of course, I won’t forget the people in the mansion.
I managed to finish making it in the morning.
Before three o’clock after finishing lunch.
I was guided by Sanse, the escort, and I went to the knight’s building, and Sanse explained the reason for the visit to the receptionist at the entrance.
“According to the receptionist, His Highness is in the office. I’ll show you around.”
When I was heading to the office with Sanse, Agar came from the opposite direction.
“It’s been a long time, Your Highness. What’s the matter?”
“I brought some food to Gresis-sama and everyone. You must be tired, so I was wondering if sweets would be okay.”
“I’m grateful for that. I also have something to do with Gresis, so let’s go together.”
When we arrived at the office, Agar knocked on the door and opened it without waiting for a reply. But there was no one in the office.
“It can’t be helped, so I’ll show you around the knight’s wing. Or have you already visited it?”
“No, but Agar is on a break, right? Isn’t it better to rest?”
“It’s totally fine. Being a guide is like a break. You may be able to meet the unit commander, and everyone will be happy.”
It might be rude to stubbornly refuse even though Agar offered.
“Well, then I will accept your offer.”
“Yes, it’s decided. I’ll be the escort myself, so please wait here, Sanse-dono. When Gresis comes back, can you tell him that I went looking for him?”
“It doesn’t matter, but I don’t know.”
I don’t know what he doesn’t know, but Sanse is sighing.
On the other hand, Agar didn’t seem to care at all, and when he waved his hand to Sanse, he showed me around the knight’s wing.
“This is the knight’s break room. Everyone is relaxing now, so they will be surprised.”
In front of the break room, Agar winked at me like a naughty child.
He knocked on the door like before and opened the door immediately.
“Her Highness is here. I heard that she brought us some food.”
Unlike before, I was surprised by the dignified voice that seemed to be the assistant commander.
Those who were taking a break were surprised, and they were in a hurry to put on the jacket they had taken off, corrected their limp posture, and were flustered.
Even though they were resting, I felt sorry.
Agar glanced at me and raised the corner of his mouth.
A person who really likes mischief.
“I’m sorry to bother you on your break. I brought you some cookies, so if you don’t mind, please have a look.”
I put a box of cookies on a nearby desk and tried to leave immediately.
“Your Highness, please wait. It’s a good opportunity, so I’ll make some tea.”
Certainly, a knight who called himself Carlsen hurried to the hot water supply room.
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll get out of your way.”
“Your Highness, please stay. I want to entertain you.”
After saying that, Agar pulled me to a chair, so I have no choice but to sit down.
“Well then, I’ll take your word for it.”
“Your Highness, may I have it as soon as possible?”
“Please. I think I did it well, but I’d be happy if you could tell me what you think.”
“””Your Highness made it?”””
Everyone was surprised in the same way, so I laughed because it was funny.
Agar ate it first.
“Delicious. This will become a habit.”
After Agar, everyone turned the boxes around, ate the cookies, and told me how delicious they were. I was relieved that it seemed to be well received.
“Agar.”
The knight who was the furthest, with a big and strong body, was moving his fingers.
At that moment, everyone paid attention to him, and the break room became quiet.
I wonder what’s wrong?
When I was wondering, Agar picked up a cookie.
“Here, Vector.”
Agar threw a cookie at Vector.
The cookie drew a parabola and entered the mouth of Vector as if it was sucked in, and the mogu mogu chewing sound echoed in the break room.
“Well, that’s great, you’re good at it.”
I couldn’t help but clap my hands.
This time, the knights roll their eyes and pay attention to me.
Oh? Did you do something wrong?
There’s something I’m more concerned about than that. That knight, who was called Vector, doesn’t look like he thinks it’s delicious at all.
“Um, did it suit your taste?”
Vector was silent and nodded.
“Agar, give me ten more.”
“What? Instead of giving it to you, I’ll eat it.”
Vector and Agar seem to be comfortable with each other.
It seems that they have a friendly relationship.
“Hey, there are some people who haven’t eaten yet.”
Carlsen, who made the tea, said something, and the knights agreed.
After that, the tension was relieved, and all the knights ate cookies.
“Can I bring it to you again?”
“”By all means, please.””
I promised to bring it in again.
I left the break room and headed to the office with Agar.
“I stayed longer than I thought. I’ll show you to another place next time.”
When I arrived at the office, the door opened before Agar knocked.
“Agar seems to have had enough rest. I leave the training to you. Lilith come here.”
When I entered the office with Gresis-sama’s hand, the door was closed while leaving Agar outside.
“If you had waited for me, I would have guided you around the knight’s wing.”
“Then, next time, please. I just went to the break room today and gave them the cookies.”
“Well, for the time being, sit where you like. I’m going to make tea now.”
“Is Gresis-sama going to make tea?”
“It’s a rule to do everything by yourself here.”
Gresis-sama took the tea and sat down next to me.
“I have a separate one for Gresis-sama.”
I opened the box containing heart-shaped cookies.
“Also, I made a ribbon. It’s just for Gresis-sama.”
I took out the yellow ribbon and turned to Gresis-sama.
“I always pray for your safety.”
When Gresis-sama received the ribbon, he got off the sofa and knelt down and gave me a slightly longer kiss on my hand.
After all, my heart is pounding.
When I thought he stood up, my chin was raised and my lips were stolen.
“Um. . . what does this mean?”
“I did it because I wanted to.”
He smiled and covered my lips again.
“. . .What will you do if someone comes?”
“There’s no problem because I locked it. Besides, I told Sanse not to pass anyone through.”
When did you do such a thing?
“Um, but Agar said he had something to do with Gresis-sama.”
“He can talk to me later.”
I was kissed again.
“Gresis-sama, at work. . . it’s no good.”
“I’m taking a break, so there’s no problem.”
I was told with a serious face.
I don’t know if it’s a joke or serious.
Let’s change the topic.
“Will you eat your cookies now? Do you want to do it later?”
“Feed it to me now.”
I heard, ‘feed it to me’.
He’s staring at me. Apparently it’s not a misunderstanding.
I took a heart-shaped cookie and carried it to Gresis-sama’s mouth.
When he ate it, Gresis-sama’s lips touched my fingers and I was surprised.
When he finished eating, Gresis-sama picked up a cookie and tried to make me eat it.
“Lilith.”
It’s kind of embarrassing.
I can’t make him wait for a long time, so I ate it as much as I could.
But I couldn’t eat it all in one bite and it broke in half.
Gresis-sama eats the rest.
“As expected, Lilith’s cookies are delicious.”
He smiled in a good mood.
“Today’s Gresis-sama is different from usual. What happened?”
“I seem to have sulked a little.”
My lips are stolen again.
There was a sweet smell of cookies.
It seems that the chapters have started getting longer now.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
