Joseph, who was in the middle of being guided to the bathroom, broke off his guiding knight to put on his pants. After all, He still had some morals and values of the modern world. Quite frankly, it embarrassed him a little to walk around naked in the mansion. He also wasn't sure whether the nobility in this life was embarrassed about their nakedness or not. On earth, nobility wasn't. They we're quite open, after all. It were mainly peasants in their mansions. Peasants weren't much more than inferior beings in the eyes of nobility back in the day, But nobles here were quite sensitive to their sexual life, right? Did that include walking around naked? He was quick to realize the answer when Isa looked upon him with a hint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes.
"You said nobles are sensitive to sex. Isn't it abnormal to walk around naked?"
Isa in turn couldn't help but slightly chuckle, After all, What he said made no sense to her.
"What has being naked to do with sex? Nobles have servants around them that usually help them change, bathe, or do other such things. Growing up in such an environment makes nakedness pretty normal, My lord."
Joseph couldn't help but slightly frown upon this. Was she really going to go around the mansion but naked?
"Were you planning to leave this room naked?"
Upon this, the girl couldn't help but slightly frown in confusion. Yes, he had lost his memory but wasn't this a bit too much of a change?
"Of course, We're going to the bath after all, right? What's the point of dressing just to undress there again?"
Joseph agreed with her sense of logic. After all, This world worked vastly different than his. It would be weird for him to force the morals and values of his own world upon her. Yet he couldn't help but frown at the thought of her walking around naked inside the mansion. A beautiful girl like her would be like a piece of eye candy walking around the mansion. Commoners weren't as sensitive to sex what if something happened? No, Nothing would happen considering her magical capabilities, She was a knight after all... But still.
" I don't want you to walk around naked, I consider you my woman now, and your body shouldn't be displayed for every man in this mansion to see. I don't care that it's inefficient or unlogical from your practical point of view. I just don't want to give other men a chance to feast their eyes upon the sight of your beautiful body, which is now mine. "
Joseph expected her to accept this with a slight frown, yet unlike what he expected, Isa's face turned crimson red, and with a genuinely happy smile, she replied.
"It's this lowly knight's honor to be considered master's property. I will cover my body, and moving forward, you'll be the only one seeing my skin. I'll dismiss my bathing servants and - "
She was quickly interrupted by Joseph.
"That's not necessary. Just keep your private parts hidden from other men. I don't mind if you are seen by the same sex. Nor do I mind if some skin is seen. You don't need to cover yourself in a veil or anything crazy like that. Just keep your breast and lower half for me alone to see."
Joseph was a little startled by the mention of property. It secretly turned him on. After all, What male wouldn't like such a beautiful girl to call herself his property? and unlike some type of kinky bedroom play, this girl seemed to actually mean it. This gave him a bit of an immoral feeling considering the senses and values of the modern world. Yet it turned him on to no end.
"As you wish my lord."
While Joseph put on his pants, Isa proceeded to put on her chainmail to cover herself. Joseph couldn't help but slightly chuckle upon the sight. The girl was wearing the chainmail long sleeve, which still looked funny to him as if she was cosplaying. The way the chainmail only covered part of her upper legs gave a rather enticing view. If he lifted it slightly up, he would be able to watch upon her treasure which was ready to be dug up by his shovel. The girl looked with a hint of curiosity at his chuckle, yet it didn't sate her curiosity. Joseph wasn't sure whether it was due to the difference in social class or the girl's nature. Either way, he put it to rest. He had already taken her multiple times and declared her his woman. He didn't want to push too much onto her. Getting her to free up towards him and become less formal would take time. Forcing such a thing by being overly friendly and interactive would make his position as a nobleman seem questionable. Although he didn't mind such a thing, he wasn't willing to test out what those around him thought of it. He gently grabbed Isa by her hips and pulled her towards his side, Gave her one more gentle hug, and made his way toward the door. He went out first and almost slipped over whatever was lying on the floor in front of their door. Luckily Isa jumped in and supported him before he once again met the floor head-first.
" Are you alright, my lord? "
Joseph gave her a slight nod before taking a look at the liquid.
' Did someone drop something? '
He put the thought aside and took a look around. To his surprise, There were no guards around, which put him slightly on edge. The guys have been around this mansion since he came to this world, and although they startled them at first, he was quick to realize they were there for his protection.
"Did you reposition the guards?"
Although he didn't think so, considering she was with him the whole time he asked, Just in case.
" I did not, my lord. "
Isa, Although slightly alerted, didn't pull out her sword due to one simple fact. If there was anything bad going on, there should at least be some noise. The guards here were hers, and enough of them came from house Westwood, meaning it was unlikely they would betray her even if the lord herself ordered his son's assassination, which he had no reason to do. The men would most likely wait for her to be separated from Joseph unless the lord of the Lockbreed family ordered her death directly.
" Any idea who could've moved them? "
The girl thought for a second before responding.
" I'm the commander of the mansion security. Considering the fact that I was seen entering that room with you, the only ones that could've moved them are nobles... I doubt your brothers came all this way, so it'd say it's one of your sisters. "
After thinking on the subject, Joseph could somehow vaguely remember a blue and red-haired girl. He couldn't recall much of the red-haired girl, but the blue-haired one simply screamed meek and shy. He wasn't sure where the vague understanding came from, considering he hadn't met a redhead yet as far as he remembered.
'Are these memories of the previous body?'
Putting the scary thought aside Joseph simply nodded
"What are their names?"
Isa, who was once again reminded of the fact that he had really lost it answered him.
"Your blue-haired younger sister's name is Hannah, and She's 17 and quite attached to you. The red-haired one is your older sister. She's 19, and her name is Madison. You are 18 if you haven't realized it yet."
'I went from 20 to 18, huh? Well, At least I didn't get into a Child's body.'
As if she suddenly remembered something, she interjected.
"Hannah is rather talented in wielding magic, although she rarely does so publicly. Madison is incapable of doing so... Although these are just rumors, I believe she isn't from an ancestral bloodline."
Isa spoke rather hesitantly, which wasn't surprising considering the fact she was basically slandering nobility. This filled him with a small sense of pride. After all, His little knight was being adorably honest with him. He couldn't help but slightly tease the girl, Moving his mouth towards her ears to whisper.
"Are you slandering nobility, My sister, no less?"
Joseph did his best to sound serious, Hiding his chuckle to the best of his ability while he moved in. Seeing as the girl visibly stiffened, he couldn't help but chuckles. Yet that chuckle was wiped off his face when she went on her knees and drew her blade, Pointing the side against her own throat.
"Forgive me for my blasphemy, my lord. If you will it, I'll atone right here and now."
Joseph was quick to grab her blade, Pulling it away from her, which slightly cut into his hand. Which, Considering how quickly he grabbed it in the slight panic he found himself to be in was a very shallow and small cut.
"I was merely joking. Stop this foolishness. You are my precious knight. There's no way I want to lose you."
Isa was greatly surprised by his action and looked at him as if he was her savior. She completely disregarded the fact that she was in this situation due to a simple joke and responded with a voice filled with gratitude.
"It's my honor to serve you, my lord."
Her voice was serious and genuine, and Joseph directly made a mental note not to fuck around with the girl anymore, At least not with such jokes. Isa, on the other hand, didn't even ask for his hand. Knowing he was of an ancestral bloodline, she figured a shallow cut wouldn't be much to her lord. Joseph, on the other hand, was slightly annoyed by the cut, which was already starting to itch softly, and put it to the back of his mind.
"Let's get that bath now."
Joseph was still slightly irked by the fact that the guards were moved but knew it was most likely one of his sisters. He put his mind to rest. Yet there was still this thought going thru his mind.
' Did they hear me and thus move them out of consideration?'
Joseph didn't know, but perhaps it was better not to know. He simply made his way towards the bath under Isa's guidance and found quite a large room. Within it was a large stone-made bath, or perhaps it was more accurate to call it a small pool. Yet what surprised him the most was the soft steam that escaped the room when he entered. The bath was clearly warm and ready to go.
"Did you?"
Isa softly shook his head.
It was normal for the bath to be partly filled. They would then just fill the remainder with boiling water, thus creating a warm bath, but this one was simply ready to go. Joseph was now sure that he was noticed by someone who had prepared for him in advance. He was slightly creeped out but appreciated the overall gesture and simply dropped down his jeans.
"Shall we?"
