I woke up into Elise's face that sleeping on my arm when I'm about to turn my body around. "Ugh... Elise, wake up. Arlette, you too wake up.".
"Umm? What is it, Arthur?" Elise ask me while half-sleep. "Let me turn my body. So I can sleep." I said to her. She sits waiting for me to turn my body. I take my arm from Arlette "No!! Um.." Arlette talk in her sleep. I turn my body while my arms now are basically jello.
"Seriously what made you two like to sleep on top of hard arms. What the use of pillow then?" I question Elise. "Just let us sleep on it will you." Elise pouting. She didn't look that shy right now.
"Then Elise do you love me or you just worried about me?" I ask her since she's half asleep. "What are you talking, Arthur. I love you the first time you call my name. Now, let me sleep." She said even though she mutters her words. I could still hear her words.
"No!! My husband gonna eat me. Ehehehe... Gentle, please. Ehehe hehe." Arlette shout then sleep again into my arm. For real, I'm shocked by her, shouting like that. Then, I look at her peaceful face "I'm sorry for saying those words to you at that time. Even though you might have put your all that day." I whisper to her and continue sleeping.
I wake up in the morning, I notice both of them already gone. I take a quick bath and clean myself before searching for them. Then about to walk to the dining room when I remember that the maids still hadn't come back.
Then I went outside. Como and his wife already waiting outside the gate. I walk toward them "Oh, Como, Sorry that I forgot to give you the spare key. Here come inside." I said while walking them toward their house.
"Now, both of you can live here. I will send people to get your thing. Only standard furniture that I made using woods if you don't mind." I said while showing the inside.
"Then if both of you want to relax. I made a swing bench outside, where you can watch the flower. I'm sorry for your son that loss in the war." I said while giving them their time alone. I already gave Como the key to let the other inside. Now, I have to prepare the room for Lily. She will live inside while sorting information for me.
I made room with a cupboard that connected to another single bedroom. The location is the corner of the mansion. For her to easily get her information.
After I'm done, Arlette and Elise walk around the house looking for me. "What are both of you doing?" I said after caught my fiancé looking at an empty room.
Both of them then turn their head to me "We looking for you." "Umm... Since the maids aren't around we made the food for you." Both of them said and drag me to the dining room.
"Then let's eat first." I said and we start eating. Then when we get out of the dining room toward the main lobby. The maid already standing there with their luggage. "Oh.. All of you are back. Then let me show you where you stay." I said with Arlette and Elise following behind me.
I show them the place and the hot spring bath for them to use. Actually, the place is average in my opinion but I realize that the maids like it so much. "Now, sort your thing and better be fast. The king might come here today.". I said leaving them that already start running inside.
Then Como walk to me "Master, someone wants to meet you. She said she's your slave." Como said. Then I shiver because I could feel killing intent behind me, I turn my head slowly "Arthur, are you cheating behind us?" "You know we might cut the wrong sausage in our sleep." Both of their smiles are scary.
"Noo... I mean listen to me. I don't cheat behind you girls. She's my slave but it's different." I tried to calm them down. Before Lily shows up behind Como "Hello, Arthur-sama. I will be working for you again, like all our ni~ ght~ to~ ge~ ther~." Lily said while winking at me.
This girl starts to tick me off "Shut up, Lily." I said while Arlette and Elise tearing up. "You just had to tell me about this, dear. I already said I won't get in your way." "*Sniff* Is it really because of my body?" Both of them said. Arlette covering her lips while Elise comparing body figure and both drop to the ground, crying.
"Hah~ Lily, explain to them. Properly this time." I said while knock her head. "Ehehe~ Sorry, M'lady-sama. It's true I'm Arthur-sama's slave but it's to work with him. The only way he trusts me is by becoming his slave after all." Lily said explaining to both of them.
Then both of them look at me "You really aren't cheating with her?" While wiping their tears. "I really don't, I told you." I said trying to convince them. "Even with her figure?" Elise ask me. "I really don't.".
"See, sister. Maybe we shouldn't try to make it bigger." Elise said to Arlette. "I could hear you two." I start getting a tick mark. Lily then explain "That's right M'lady-sama. Even I'm a virgin you know but I still dedicate my body toward Arthur-sama."
Then I knock her head again "I told you to stop it.". She grabs her head "It's really hurt, Arthur-sama. Then, where do I live?"
"Inside the house, I already prepare your room. You can dress as a maid while doing your work." I said while pointing toward my house. "Elise!! He did really cheat on us" Arlette shout at Elise. "Stop teasing her this time!!" Since I could see she's faking it.
"Tehe~" "Don't do that." I cover my face, tired. "You live there, if you want to use hot spring then use the one for maid use. Also, don't forget to put your men around here." I said while we start going back to the house.
"Then, Arthur. What is actually your work?" Arlette quickly asks suspiciously. "Right, I forgot to tell you. I have caught a criminal for the last few months." I said to her shock. "So, it's that the reason some adventurer just register to hand over the head this past few months?" Elise asks with worry.
"Yes. I used to sneak out of the palace." I said then continue walking. Arlette and Elise already stop walking "Why aren't you telling us?" Arlette said with a shaky voice.
I stop walking then turn around to face them. The situation turned to silence, Lily could feel that both of them are angry since mana tend to leak when someone gets angry but I walk toward both of them and hug them. I pull them closer to me and said "Because I don't want to lie to you.".
"Tch... It's unfair. I want to smack you once in the face." Arlette said then hug me after she sighs slowly. Elise that worried also hug me "Please tell us next time.".
"Alright, I will tell you about it to both of you." I said while releasing my hug and smile at them. "Still, how don't we know? You usually turned scary when it comes to killing a criminal." Arlette said while tapping her chin. I looked at her thinking face and smile "Hmm? Why is it? Maybe because someone is too cute to think right now?" I said while also tapping my chin and give her a glance.
"Moouu~ Stop teasing me. We need to get ready before father comes here." Arlette said while dragging Elise with her and leaving both me and Lily.
Lily then approach me "Is it them that change you so much, Arthur-sama?". I just nod and look at them "Who else do you think?" I start to smile. "I don't know, perhaps, me?" Lily said while covering her smile.
"Maybe, you also change so much, aren't you Lily?" I said and return her smile. "What? I just shocked that someone saves me when I'm about to pass my first time but then that jerk didn't want to take my first time." Lily said flaring up.
"Haha... I'm just teasing you. You looked so lifeless that day. I remember when covering you with a cloth before killing them." I said and leaving her to stand there alone. Lily then chase me "Stop teasing me, I'm 2 years older than you. Besides you can't talk about my face like that."
"How can I not? Your face tells me you want to be dead but you're drolling before getting ravaged by that old dude." I said while giggling a little. Her face felt burned and start turning red "I can't marry anymore." She said while drawing weird symbols on the ground.
"Alright, I'm sorry. Just get inside already. You brought some information or not?" I said while leaving her. She then follows me "Take responsible will you?". "If you can convince my fiancé I will think about it." I said without thinking much.
