“Prince Harold…”
…Why am I being cornered by Sarah in a see-through nightgown?
More importantly, what is she thinking, sneaking into my room like this?
“C-Could you please step away for now?”
“A… Am I not to your liking…?”
When I try to gently push her away, Sarah’s eyes fill with tears as she looks up at me. Ugh, so calculated.
I wonder, is it because she’s a spy and has received training in honey traps?
“It’s not about liking or disliking.”
“But, hasn’t my sister failed to satisfy you adequately? Surely you must be suffering, unable to find comfort…”
Seriously, mind your own business.
I don’t expect Monica to fulfill such a role, and I don’t want her to sell her body.
“My sister is certainly excellent at assassination, but that’s all. Until she started serving Prince Harold, she was Alexandra-sama’s Personal Maid, and she always refused such training… So, Prince Harold is pitiful…!”
Sarah lowers her eyes, desperately pleading while disparaging Monica.
I desperately winked at the golden eyes shining in the darkness. Hey, calm down a bit.
“Haa… I’m pitiful?”
“Yes! Because… in my eyes, Prince Harold seems lonely. If it were me, I would never let you feel that way…”
Ah, this is no good.
I just told her to calm down with my eyes, but I’m about to snap.
“Caz.”
“Okay!”
The golden eyes in the darkness jumped onto my right shoulder with a burst of energy.
Sarah probably didn’t expect Caz to speak human language. Her eyes widened at the sight.
“I don’t know what your goal is, but stop insulting my ‘Precious Thing.’ It’s unpleasant.”
“Wh…!”
“Listen? I tolerated your sneaking in because you’re Monica’s sister and didn’t call anyone. It’s because if you did this to Sandra’s husband, the Ashton family might be seen as betraying their lord.”
The moment I said that, Sarah gasped.
Or rather, doesn’t this woman even understand that?
“If you leave here right now and promise never to appear before me again, I’ll let it go. …Ah, and try insulting Monica, my ‘Precious Thing.’ Don’t think you’ll get away with it then.”
“…!”
Sarah bit her lip and left through the window as she had come.
“What was that guy! The worst!”
“Really! She’s her sister, but she doesn’t understand Monica at all!”
Caz and I loudly expressed our anger at each other.
Madam Margo, her mother, was terrible, but her sister is even worse.
Besides, the Ashton family, serving the Chevalier family, should know that Sandra and I are married.
Of course, they should also know that we love each other from the bottom of our hearts.
And yet, she actually tried to set up a honey trap…
“So, Hal, what are you going to do? Are you going to tell Sandra and Monica about that guy?”
“No, let’s not. If that happens, the Ashton family itself will surely be punished, and if things go wrong, Monica might even be held jointly responsible.”
I don’t think Duke Chevalier and the others would impose such a punishment, but nobles hold the entire family responsible if even one person commits a fault.
This is to prevent them from betraying their lord and to eliminate any future concerns.
“In the end, it was just an attempt, and she probably understands that if she does something similar again, that will be the end of them. So, let’s keep today’s events a secret between me and Caz.”
I put my index finger over my mouth and made a playful gesture.
More than anything, if those two found out about this, there would definitely be a bloodbath. I don’t want to make Monica sad.
“Ehehe, I guess it can’t be helped… You should be grateful to me.”
“What are you talking about? I’m always grateful to Caz.”
I rubbed my cheek against Caz, who was smiling happily. Her fur is smooth and feels good.
After something like that, it’s so healing.
“Well… I have to get up a little early tomorrow, so let’s go to sleep soon.”
“Okay!”
And so, Caz and I slept together in the bed, getting along well.
“…………………………”
Without even noticing her, standing still and erasing her presence beyond the Door.
