“Ugh… Wuh….”
I couldn’t help but accept the tongue that entered my mouth without resistance.
I clearly thought I should resist, but my body just kept accepting the kiss.
“Ugh… k… Kyle…”
I shouldn’t be doing this so easily… A deep kiss? If this keeps happening, my mind will surely go haywire.
Even now, receiving Kyle’s kiss made my head feel hazy.
Could that be the reason?
I couldn’t resist Kyle, who was kissing me.
“Mmm…”
It felt like this kiss was nothing compared to the last one.
It was on a completely different level than just our lips barely touching.
Even while being overwhelmed, I could feel it so strongly.
“Puhah… Hah… You…”
“Why?”
“Why are you suddenly kissing me!?”
I was really taken aback.
He suddenly came close and started kissing me… It wasn’t my fault; it was definitely Kyle’s mistake.
Even if we’re lovers now… This sudden kiss is just too much.
“Because I wanted to.”
“Ugh…”
Kyle answered nonchalantly.
He seemed to fully understand what he had done.
“Is kissing not allowed? We’re lovers now.”
“That’s true, but…”
“Then there’s no problem.”
“But still…”
What should I even say to Kyle?
Yeah, there technically isn’t a problem… because kissing is something lovers do.
But that doesn’t mean that suddenly doing a deep kiss like just now is… “Or did you not like it?”
“No…”
That was… not the case.
I actually liked it.
And that’s the problem.
The fact that my head was spinning from that kiss is a problem too, and it was just our tongues mixing!
“So then, there’s no problem.”
“Ugh… Just a little, can you pull back…”
I tried to say it.
But I couldn’t finish my sentence.
Kyle, who was pressed against me, started to slip his tongue back into my mouth again.
– Chu… slurp…
“….”
After parting ways with Kyle and spending the rest of the day, I found myself lost in thought that night.
I…
“Why am I so stupid…?”
I was so foolish that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call myself pathetic.
I couldn’t help but feel that way.
“Crazy girl…”
After that, I had been kissed by Kyle several more times.
Yeah, this was forgivable.
If a girl like me gets kissed by a handsome and cool guy like Kyle, it’s no wonder I can lose my mind.
Just like how a guy loses his mind when kissed by a really pretty girl.
It was understandable.
But the next part was the problem.
“Why did I even accept to go to the ball…?”
While getting kissed by Kyle, he suddenly brought up the dance party.
I honestly had no recollection of it, but apparently, that’s what happened.
In my dazed state of utter confusion, I had said yes to whether I would go.
“Hah…”
I clearly had no intention of going… and I would only be a burden to Kyle.
Why on earth did I accept that?
I was truly a crazy girl.
“Mwahhhhh!!!!”
I shouted into my pillow as I buried my head in it.
Crazy girl, crazy girl, crazy girl, crazy girl, crazy girl, crazy girl…
“Crazy girl!!!”
Is it logical to lose my mind just because I’ve been kissed a few times!?
No matter how foolish I am, and even if I’m losing my mind over a kiss, this is just too much…
“How will I even go to the ball…?”
How could I possibly go to a place only nobles go?
Kyle is being utterly unreasonable.
Kyle must have thought that I shouldn’t go if he had any sense.
“Yeah, I’ll just say I don’t have a size!”
I’ll say that I don’t have a dress because of these ridiculously large boobs!
Then wouldn’t that be a valid reason not to go?
Yeah, it was a decent plan.
“To go to the ball, I need a dress.”
Not just any dress, but a fancy one, right?
It’s going to be super expensive, and anyway, it wouldn’t work.
“…”
“You can order one separately.”
“…”
“So just ask a tailor, and that’s all you need.”
“…”
Damn… I messed up.
I had forgotten they had a lot of money because I was in such a daze yesterday…
“Do you really not want to go? You answered yes yesterday.”
“…”
The princess sitting next to me covered her mouth and laughed.
How unfair… How many years of my salary would it take to buy the dress they’re talking about…
“Ugh… Sophia?”
“Yes?”
“By the way, I heard you kissed Kyle, Duke’s Son?”
“Eh!?”
I reflexively turned my gaze toward Kyle.
No, I couldn’t help it.
“Kyle…!”
“… Haha.”
Kyle awkwardly smiled at me.
No way did he tell the princess about what happened yesterday…
How could he do that…?
That’s too much…
“It was my first time… If you say that….”
So embarrassing.
The fact that someone else, especially the Emperor’s daughter, knows I kissed someone…
Incredibly embarrassing.
“Well, I’ve heard a lot about the Duke’s Son since long ago.”
“Ugh…”
“By the way, you said you don’t have a dress in your size?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, as I mentioned earlier, you can just order one.”
“…”
“Well, with a chest size like Sophia’s, it might be hard to find one at a regular place.”
“Ugh… so let’s just say I’m not going to the ball…”
Can we just leave it at that?
Rather than me going and letting Kyle say something weird…
“Exactly! Let’s all go back to the territory!”
“Yes?”
To Borusia? Why?
“Anyway, this dance party is nearby, and we need to get the dress made, right? How does that sound?”
“I think it sounds good.”
“Eh?”
I couldn’t keep up with the flow of the conversation.
Suddenly to the capital?
“We have a close tailor from our royal family, so we can just ask him.”
“Hmm… Your Highness, is there going to be any physical contact when making the dress…”
“Don’t worry; there won’t be any, Duke’s Son.”
“Yes.”
“…”
“By the way, the Duke’s Son is quite proactive, isn’t he?”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Shit.
This is insane.
Both of them are crazy… “How did they bring this up just the day after….”
“Since there’s not much time before the ball, we should hurry and get the dress made, right?”
“Haha…”
Right now… I’m sitting in a carriage.
A running carriage with the Duke and the Princess.
If others saw this situation, they would probably worry.
Logically, anyone would if a commoner is stuck in a carriage with a Duke and a Princess.
“….”
It’s not like I’m going alone with Kyle like before.
The princess’s attendants are following, and now even more servants for the Duke, who has officially become a Duke, are accompanying us.
That’s why I feel even more embarrassed.
“Can’t I just take a different carriage…?”
“Sophia, your tone.”
“Can’t I just use a different carriage…?”
It was heavy on my heart.
How could I not feel that way…? I think it’s remarkable that I’m feeling just a level of embarrassment in this situation.
Of course, I didn’t feel burdened just because Kyle was a Duke or anything like that.
And truthfully, the princess wasn’t a burden either.
But how will others see this?
It’s not official that I’m dating Kyle.
They will definitely look at it strangely.
Not just me but both of us.
“It’s not allowed.”
“… Tsk.”
But my request failed.
Well, I knew I was going to get shot down while saying it.
When Kyle first confessed to me, I could imagine he had those kinds of thoughts.
“But isn’t it a bit too many people to take along?”
“But Duke, you’re a Duke now, so what are you worried about?”
“Haha… I haven’t gone out much beyond the territory.”
Kyle and I both felt a bit awkward and burdened at that moment.
It makes sense since we had never taken the servants of Eristirol that far before.
The last debutante ball was when Kyle insisted on bringing fewer people, so we went just the two of us.
I always worried about Kyle’s safety, so I suggested we should bring other servants along.
“Other nobles take more than this with them sometimes.”
“Haha…”
What is he so happy about?
That’s why people need to go out more.
They’re all cooped up in Eristirol.
“Your Highness, what about accommodations?”
“We’ll see… for now, the two of you will share a room…”
“Eh?”
“For now, you’re lovers, right? As lovers, sharing a room is only natural.”
“….”
This feels bad.
Yeah, I definitely think so.
All the neurons in my brain acknowledged this.
You want me to keep sharing a room with Kyle?
“Do we really have to? We have enough money, so we could get a separate room, right?”
“No.”
“….”
“When you both wake up in the morning… I want to see Sophia looking incredibly awkward.”
“….”
It wasn’t like I had never slept in the same room as Kyle.
We had shared rooms several times when we went to the capital.
Of course, in between, Kyle would sometimes get a separate room, but for the most part, we shared.
Back then, I had no hesitation about sleeping with Kyle.
Since I hadn’t realized he liked me.
Ah, so that’s why Kyle insisted on sharing a room.
“Kyle…? You’re not going to do anything weird, right?”
That was more of a plea than a question.
Kyle had suddenly given me a deep kiss the other day.
At this rate, he might suddenly…
I mean…
He might pounce on me while I’m sleeping in bed…
And I would surely lose my mind again, just like when we kissed.
When he touched me that one time, my mind had gone haywire enough…
His warm, big hand would indiscriminately torment me…
I definitely wouldn’t be able to think straight like last time.
“If you do well, maybe…”
“….”
One thing is for sure, I need to listen to Kyle when we’re traveling to the capital.
Otherwise, I might be thinking exactly what I just… exactly…
