Chapter 20

“… You became a servant in the detached mansion to find me, didn’t you?” Taizen asked me, with a peck on my cheek as if to confirm. I nodded my head in agreement.

 

Taizen raised an eyebrow and looked doubtful. “My sister is an alpha.”

 

I opened my eyes in surprise. Perhaps because there were only women from Ω and β around me, I definitely thought she was either. However, she certainly had a model-like figure, and her appearance suited the word “beautiful,” so if you asked, her appearance was just like an α.

 

“Is that so? Since she was hiring Ω and β women, I somehow misunderstood…”

 

“It’s customary. The prospective queens are turned away from alpha and beta men because of the probability of them getting pregnant. However, it was different for Ω men. If anything, an α female in a rut has a higher probability of impregnating Ω. The people who manage the inner palace probably think that there is no problem in impregnating them.”

 

Taizen said with a disgusted look on his face. Then he let out one breath, removed his hand from my cheek, and squeezed both of my hands.

“So,” he said, “I want you to stop working away from home and stay with me. If you want to work, you can help write some documents in my office.”

 

I blinked my eyes shut. True, I was content to be by his side 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But just because I’d become his lover, if Taizen was the one carrying everything on his back, I’d feel not independent.

 

Taizen saw my hesitation, lowered his eyebrows, and gave me a pampered look.

 

“… I’m sorry, I don’t like it when you’re out of my sight. Since I think Kouhei seems to be romantically interested in women, and if it’s an α, he’ll be able to impregnate you with a child. So somehow…”

 

I was so surprised that I opened my mouth wide open. [Is it possible that Taizen is jealous of his sister Richanfu-sama?]

 

Thinking so, I was filled with joy. When my ex-girlfriend later discovered that a woman was at my work drinking party, she got furious. I brushed it off at the time but seeing Taizen act jealous surprised me.

 

I said, “Well, I want to be with you if Taizen is okay with it…”

 

Immediately after replying, the figure of the head maid who had remarked about being under-staffed popped into my head. However, when I saw Taizen’s wide-eyed smile, I couldn’t help but apologize to the head maid inside my head.

I was standing in front of the luxurious bed after a hot bath and feeling warm and fuzzy. The stars shone through the vast window at the side of the bed. The stars in this world are shining brighter than those on earth.

 

“Can I really stay in the room with you?” I turned around and stiffly looked at Taizen, standing behind me while smiling very gently. Then he silently placed his arms around my waist. I felt a tingling sensation in the places where he touched me, which made me feel restless.

 

Usually, I slept in the official residence for servants, but today I would be sleeping in the Taizen’s bedroom in the main residence. The changes between the two seemed drastic. Moreover, I wonder if sleeping with Taizen means he will do that with me as soon as possible.

 

“If Kohei doesn’t like it, I’ll…”

 

“I don’t hate …… it.” I don’t dislike it, but I’m starting to get very nervous. He gently caressed my waist and lightly pushed me onto the bed. At this point, I was so nervous that I couldn’t move my body properly.

 

After I waited for a while and didn’t move, he removed his hand from my waist, slipped past me, and then sat down on the bed. He looked me up and down, wearing a seductive smile, and tilted his head. His golden eyes were so enchanting, as if there was some kind of magic in them, that I tensed up even more. Taizen, upon seeing me like this, softly smiled and gently grabbed both of my hands.

 

“Don’t be so nervous. If you don’t like it, I won’t make love to you. …”

 

“I’m not. It’s not that I don’t like it…”

 

Taizen gently pulled my arms away with his head turned slightly. Then, as he nudged me, I sat snugly beside him without any space between us. Or rather, we were sitting on top of each other a little bit because he had taken my arms.

 

“Let’s start by hugging each other,” Taizen whispered in my ear in a suggestive voice while embracing me around my shoulders. My back felt electrified that it turned me weak after feeling the warmth of his body.

 

“Ah…” I managed to squeeze my voice out of my parched throat.

 

I wondered why I was so nervous, even though it was not the first time our bodies had met. Then, I recalled how tongue-tied I had been the last time. At the time, I was not even aware that I was in love with Taizen.

 

Taizen pulled me in with his strong arms and put his big hands on my head. Then he gently placed my ear on his chest. I could hear his heart thumping loudly.

 

I cried a little when I realized I was finally in the arms of the man I had been looking for so long. My tear glands may have become a little loose recently.

 

[Is it possible that he’s telling me he’s nervous as well?]

 

When I became aware of this, I discovered that Taizen’s heart was beating as hard as mine. I rested my hands on his broad chest and gently lifted my upper body to gaze at his lovely face. My gaze was drawn to the golden eyes that were squinting at me.

 

I wondered if he was as nervous as I was, even though he looked relaxed. I wondered if the thought of this and the constant rhythm of his heart brought about a healing effect, and my shoulders relaxed a little. Instead, my desire to touch this charming and beautiful man began to soar.

 

I leaned my face toward his beautiful lips as if being sucked in. Then, Taizen, whose smile deepened, also tilted his face.

Translator’s Notes:

 

Is anyone feeling fluffy right now? Hehe… (❤´艸｀❤). Since this chapter is relatively short, I decided to just translate and post this chapter today. And, we’re going to have NSFW scenes in the next chapter! It’s going to be a pretty long chapter due to snu snu scenes everywhere. So, it’ll take me a while to translate it…  Sorry for that.

But, I’ll post it by Wednesday/Thursday this week. Look forward to it people ψ(｀∇´)ψ
