CH 122

Gresis’s POV*

Every year, the night when the birthday festival is over. No, regardless of the birthday festival, it was natural to spend the night alone quietly.

I’m grateful to be celebrated by many people on my birthday, but I’m also tired. Besides, I usually think about a lot of things on missions. That’s why the night I spent quietly alone was surprisingly comfortable and I liked it quite a lot.

However, after a while after marrying Lilith, I began to go to Lilith’s private room on my own and slept together.

It was unexpectedly more comfortable than spending the night alone.

“Your Highness, Her Highness is ready, so please come anytime.”

Even after the birthday festival was over, Mai, the maid, came to call me as usual.

She looks happy with a grin. What is it?

I continue to visit Lilith’s private room from the door.

The atmosphere is different from usual.

The room is faintly dark with only candlelight.

Snacks, baked goods, tea and cocktails were prepared on the table, and it was more luxurious than usual.

“The atmosphere is quite different today. It’s nice to be dark.”

“Yes, it’s your birthday, so I changed the taste a little.”

Apparently, she prepared a lot of things for me.

When I sat next to Lilith as usual, she recommended me a light meal.

At the evening party, I couldn’t eat much because of dancing and greetings, so it’s a big help.

However, more than us, the protagonists, women wear dresses with a squeezed waist, so they can hardly eat.

I’m sure Lilith is more hungry than me, but she tries to feed me a sandwich and recommends alcohol.

I’m very happy with that feeling, but I want to have fun together anyway.

So I also recommended alcohol to Lilith’s, and we toasted together.

“Happy birthday, Gresis-sama.”

The wine I drank while being celebrated by Lilith was exceptionally delicious.

I felt that the pace of Lilith’s drinking was fast, but I knew it. I should have stopped her early.

She entrusts her body to me, and she has a chubby face.

I like this because it’s cute, but I think I made her drink too much.

“Lilith, are you okay? I made you drink too much.”

When I call out to her, she is tilting her head.

“It’s okay?”

This is no good.

“That’s when it’s not okay.”

It seems to be painful to sit, so I noticed it when I carried her to the bed and held her up to sleep.

It’s rare that Lilith is wearing a gown. . . . What!? The gown is on!!

There is only one size of the gown for both men and women. I know that the size is too big for the petite Lilith.

Moreover, it is often the case that the string just tied at the waist loosens. That’s good.

But that’s not the problem.

Because the string was loose, I could see the thin fabric with the neckline open so that I could see her chest from the gown with the front open.

Isn’t it not nightwear that you’re wearing inside, but underwear?

I don’t know much about women’s underwear, but the fabric is quite thin and revealing. I can’t call it clothes at all.

In other words, it’s underwear.

If you think about it, Lilith has never worn a gown.

Maybe it was a mistake, and she hasn’t finished changing her clothes yet, but I came, so I guess she put on a gown in a hurry.

I should have noticed it earlier.

I try not to look at it as much as possible, but I burn it firmly in my eyes.

I slowly put her down on the bed and lay next to her.

“Let’s take a rest.”

If I don’t close my eyes, I’ll just look at it.

However, when Lilith shook her head and got up, she sat on the bed sideways.

Wait, wait! You can wear an extra gown!

“Gresis-sama’s celebration is just beginning!”

“Lilith, I got congratulated enough.”

I got up in a hurry and stroked her head to appease her.

We still didn’t celebrate enough. As if to say that, Lilith, who shook her head, took off her gown to see what I thought.

“!?”

The shoulders are wide open, the cloth is thin, and the skin is visible through it. A dress that is shorter than the knee, which I’ve never seen before.

This is definitely underwear.

Does Lilith usually wear such sexy underwear!?

Originally, I should put on a gown right away, but I was glued to the seductive figure.

I usually take off my gown before going to bed.

Lilith is clearly drunk.

She forgot that she was wearing underwear, and she thought she was wearing a normal nightwear, so she may have unconsciously taken off her gown.

Oh, no, she can’t catch a cold.

I came back to myself and reached out to take her gown.

“Happy birthday, Gresis-sama. I love you.”

Lilith hugged me tightly. Still in her underwear!

My throat is ringing involuntarily.

I’m happy, I’m happy, but this is no good!

Lilith is attacking my reason.

What an attack power.

I didn’t think that there would be a time when I needed a strong will other than when confronting monsters.

“I love you. Very much. So. . .”

Lilith looks up with moist eyes and is trying to say something.

Depending on the following words, my reason will really fly. No, no matter what she says, I feel like it will fly. No matter what she says, endure it.

When I was waiting with my reason at the last minute. . . She fell asleep softly.

What is this torture? I’m happy, but it’s hard.

I couldn’t sleep while being hugged by Lilith in her underwear, and I endured it until the morning, I think I really did my best.

I woke up at the usual time, went back to my room so as not to wake up Lilith, and called Mai and ordered her.

“Mai, please put on her gown firmly without waking up Lilith.”

“Huh? Yes, I understand.”

I didn’t care about Mai, who tilted her head, and devoted myself to training to get rid of earthly desires, sweated and changed clothes, and then went back to the bed where Lilith was sleeping.

She’s also wearing a gown. She slept with me with peace of mind.

Soon after, there was a sign that Lilith was waking up.

“Good morning, Lilith.”

Always pretending to be as usual.

“Good morning, is it?”

Lilith seems to be sleepy.

“I was worried that you drank too much, but it looks like you slept well.”

“Huh? I wanted to celebrate your birthday. . .”

“I was congratulated enough. Thank you.”

In order to keep my cool, I thanked her and stroked her cheeks to deceive her.

Lilith is looking at the gown with a face that looks like she noticed something.

Do you remember?

“Gresis-sama, um, didn’t I. . . take off my gown?”

Apparently, her memory is vague. If I explain in detail, Lilith will be in agony with embarrassment.

It seems better to pretend that this never happened.

“No, you were sleeping while wearing it.”

“Is that so. . . ?”

Lilith tilts her head.

That’s right, I can’t say that Mai put on the gown.

“I never thought that His Imperial Highness would ruin Her Imperial Highness’s hard work.”

For some reason, Mai told me, but I wonder if I’m the one who worked hard.

I thought so at that time, but it was not until much later that I realized the meaning of Mai’s words.

Good luck next time Lilith.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
