'So good.'
Reigner whispered inwardly while keeping his slightly narrowed eyes on the ceiling. He had the princess, Paula, sleeping on his chest while his body screamed with the joy of the softness coming both from the lady and the bed.
It's been a while...
The earthling was feeling so comfy in the bed that he reached for more of the fluffiness. His hand gently brought Paula closer's to his chest by getting a little strong grasp on her head. He stroked her green hair slowly, then the other arm slid on her waist.
In such a close position, Reigner's morning reaction poked Paula's thigh with its warmth.
It was the reason for her to wake up as well.
"Nnn..."
She tried to move, feeling the unknown warmth. However, in the tight hug of her new 'husband', Paula found herself pinned to his body. Nothing bad could be said about it, but her mind exploded when she realized what kind of thing is rubbing her thigh.
"Did I wake you? Sorry."
"It's okay... Mr. Reigner... I should be happy that you find me attractive. But if possible, can we wait?"
"The truth is that I don't want to move at all. Just stay in this position is what I want."
"Really?"
"Really."
Hearing the honest emotions within his words, Paula smiled unknowingly, then eased up. Her adorable face sunk in Reigner's body as she enjoyed the new kind of 'bed' that she crawled upon during the sleep.
Both of them stood like that for a while. It was fine for them to do so as it was pretty early. The birds just began chirping, bestowing the land of princess and her home with their presence.
Strangely enough, Reigner was not even a tad annoyed by those.
When Paula hummed along with these birds, he realized that she is indeed the lady who can feel a close connection to nature. It was the first morning that Reigner thoroughly enjoyed. Then, it was time for breakfast.
-
The breakfast went with the same, cheerful mood.
Reigner couldn't stop enjoying the comfortable and satisfying life by the side of the adorable princess. He felt attracted to her which was not because of the 'husband' title, but due to Paula's aura.
If Paula could read Reigner's mind, then she would get to know that Reigner treated her like a fantasy woman, unlike others. It was mostly because of her influence that she constantly exudes. It was a fantasy-like attraction that bound him on the first day.
Something like love, at first sight, was bullshit for Reigner.
So it could be only explained by the 'fantasy' term.
"I haven't prepared food for someone else in such a long time... I hope it is at least edible!"
"Haha! It is good, Paula. Can't you hear how much I enjoy your breakfast?"
Munch! Munch! Munch!
"I can hear! Hehe~~"
When Reigner deliberately munched louder, the adorable beauty in front of him laughed with her ethereal voice brightening up the mood. Then, the small talks proceed to go smoothly until Paula went straight to the point.
"The resources sent by the royal father should arrive soon. I believe the royal father had also assigned personnel for Mr. Reigner... It is going to be living here soon."
"Yeah... The first thing is to recruit enough people and grow up in strength... As the fourth noble household, I also must get merits for the kingdom. So after enough training, I will set on a small expedition."
"I understand."
Paula truly understood. She was a lady who could hear a lot of things including emotions, desires, and truth. Her ears spotted that Reigner was lying when he said 'for the kingdom', but she ignored that.
Because if there was someone different in front of her right now, someone who was truly working for the kingdom wholeheartedly, then Paula knew, that she wouldn't be able to eat the breakfast as merrily as now.
In fact, would it be even merry?
-
"Noble Medusa, this woman of lower origins has been assigned to be the head maid of your household."
The personnel sent by the king had arrived. They had carriages filled with resources reeking off of the metal aura! The woman looking the oldest was standing out with her proper decorum and straight posture.
Behind her, there were five more maids whose outfits were taken straight out of fantasy books. Their billowing dresses had properly covered their long legs, however, on the contrary, their bosoms were tightly emphasized by the dress revealing their cleavages.
"What's your name?"
"It's Yuri, Noble Medusa."
"Then, Yuri. I believe the resources are sorted but prepare the list. As for others, clean up the house and prepare the others for new recruits."
""""Yes, Master."""""
The other five's names also rang out within Reigner's mind, then they went to the princess' house to clean up the stuff. After Yuri passed the list with the stuff in the carriage, Reigner's eyes went wide. He felt as if his metal aura is going to excel the nightmare points soon!
"Ah, no need to clean! I can do it alone."
"This is the order of the master, please..."
Paula didn't really want others to clean up after her. As a princess with 'failure' title, she couldn't possibly others do the staff she herself could. Her small hands were trying to stop the lady, but Reigner suddenly grasped her hands.
She was shorter and looking younger yet the princess was actually four years older than Reigner.
"Paula, come with me. Let's skim through the resources together. Maybe there is something your father had sent to you."
"I don't think so... But if that's what Mr. Reigner wants."
"Yes, I want you to be with me."
The small metal cane appeared out of nowhere then. It left Paula's sleeve and gently landed on her palm. This metal cane was to help Paula when she goes outside. However, other than being made out of strong metal resources, the cane had nothing else to provide.
Naturally, it was not needed now.
Her small hands clung to Reigner's arm and so he guided her outside.
It was time to get stronger... and announce the recruitment to Medusa Household!
