Hard Work Will Never Betray Me - CH 34

After getting out of the bath, we changed into our loungewear and drank some cold fruit water. This fruit water is made  from soaking tocana fruit, which has a characteristic lemon-like sourness and a slight sweetness, in natural water. In the city, it is often served in restaurants, and is not widely used in households. The price of cooling magic tools is high enough, as well as the cost of maintaining them, that it is difficult for the commoner  to afford it .

As I drank the fruit water, I listened to Lily’s story.

“I think it’s the merchant who’s at fault, even if he knows that your father won’t touch him.

“Yes, that’s a rude thing for a commoner to do.  they should know your place. It’s unforgivable.”

I gave her an appropriate response and let it go. I don’t know, I think it’s crazy that Lily is talking to me like this without feeling any shame at all, even though we had exposed our nakedness to each other a while ago. I don’t care how much of a child you are, if you were a normal woman, you’d be embarrassed to be naked!

“I think we should follow the rules. Don’t you agree?’

‘ I don’t see anything wrong with it, because most rules have a good reason, even if they don’t make sense.”

“That’s right!　It’s not like we’re the only ones trying to cheat.”

It seems that even in the duchy ruled by His Excellency the Duke of Bernstein, Lily’s father, there are some merchants who are not of good character. According to Lily, there are some merchants who use illegal methods and do unscrupulous business. It is also troublesome because they are said to be large capitalists.

“I wish I could crush such a business association. ……”

“Lily, if you let your power get the better of you, it will make us nobles look bad.”

“I know, I but it’s just so awful. ……

“I’m sure His Excellency won’t just sit back and watch, so I’m sure everything will fine .”

Even in our frontier territory, there are people who are involved in suspicious activities and illegal activities. As long as people gather, there will always be a negative side to  it , and as the rulers , we nobles are expected to have the political skills to control them and prevent as much damage as possible.

Naturally, our family, with a history of several hundred years, has inherited the know-how to deal with such people, and here in Heitburg, we have almost never had any major damage. It’s not just our territory, but the Dukes of Bernstein as well.

“You’re right. U can rest assured with  my father. I’m getting sleepy now. Hal, come sleep with me.’

Lily said to me while sneezing. She’s still a child in this respect. I’m still a child, and I’m starting to get sleepy as well.’

“There is a room for Lily,  aren’t you need to go back?

There is a saying that men and women do not sit together at the age of seven, and I don’t think it is socially acceptable for a daughter of a good family to share a bed with a man before marriage.

“I don’t mind. Don’t you like it, Hal?’

“I don’t mind

Bathing together is one thing, but sleeping together is totally fine . There’s no way a six-year-old’s body can do anything insolent. In fact, we’re only six years old, not seven, so there’s no problem if we share the same bedclothes.

“Soft and fluffy.

Lily always jumps on the bed where she sleep and rolls around. . The last time we met, she was rolling around on the lawn. ……

“I’m tired, I think I’ll sleep soon.”

In this world, the level of civilization is of a pre-modern quality, with only a hint of medieval times, so to be honest, when I was reincarnated, I imagined that the bedding would be very heavy and hard. However, when I started living here, I found that it was much more comfortable than I expected. It was much more comfortable than the bed or futon I had slept on in my previous life, which was a type of futon laid on top of a wooden board bought at Nitori.

Of course, my status as a nobleman probably had something to do with it, but in terms of the quality of my sleep, this life definitely surpassed the level of my previous life. So this is the true sleep that I’ve heard so much about. ……

And my bed is really big. I’ve always had the image that rich people have big beds, but for a six-year-old, it was pointlessly large. Even a sumo wrestler or a foreign rugby player could sleep in it, side by side.

“You ……”‘

Lily said in a disgusting voice, flipping up the thin summer blanket and inviting me intobed. I wondered where she had learned to do that.

“You’ll have to do that in ten years.’

Ten years from now, Lily and I will be sixteen years old. In the culture of this world, it wouldn’t be surprising if we were married. If you’re married, you don’t have to say anything to the people around you whether you’re sleeping together or having sex. Or rather, in the sense of family prosperity, you have to do such things.

The platinum blonde with a fluffy, gentle perm and fine white porcelain skin. She has clear blue eyes and a pretty face that’s as well-rounded as a bisque doll. And a personality that seems to enjoy being with me. I’m blessed to be able to do whatever I want with her in ten years. Ghehehe …….

As I rolled over on the futon, Lily came up to me and hugged me.

“Huh, good night …….”

Lily says and closes her eyes. The high body temperature of a child and the girlish softness of her touch made me feel annoyed. No, she’s a child,  …….

“Good night.

It’s time for me to go to sleep. The woman next to me, Lily, is making my mind go wild, but my body seems to be at its limit. I held Lily’s hand as she hugged me and closed my eyes.

” Master Hal . It’s morning.”

I hear a voice calling me. I don’t want you to disturb my pleasant sleep time.

“Please wake up. ‘

“Oh, it’s so loud.”

“It’s bright outside!”

I heard the sound of the curtains opening, and it suddenly became bright in front of me. It seems that the maid, Alisa, has come to wake me up.

“You should wake up too,  lady Lily-. You’re in a very dangerous position.

“…… Dangerous?”

When I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of half-open white pajamas, a pair of puffy buttocks, and a cute little girl named Lily . Hmm?”

“What the hell is this ……?”

What I saw when I woke up completely was Lily, who was sleeping on my chest, upside down on top of me. She was lying upside down on my chest, right in front of my face, with her crotch in front of my face, and her face buried between my legs in a dangerous place.

“This is not good.”

When I woke up fully, I saw Lily sleeping on my chest, just upside down against me, while I was lying on my side as usual. Her crotch was right in front of my face, and her face was between my legs, sleeping with her face buried in a dangerous place.

There is no way that a duchess should be dressed like this, like the adult videos she secretly watched behind her parents’ back in her previous life. It was definitely a matter of concern.

.”I’m sorry, but …… this is …….”  you are sleepwalking?”

It’s a terrible thing to be told. It’s a good thing you’re my fiancé.

“Hmm, Hal-  ……, I love you …….”

I’m not sure if she’s confessing in her sleep or if she just likes me as a friend, but either way, Lily is revealing her positive feelings for me. It’s cute, but the way Alisa looks at me is depressing.

“Good for you, Hal-sama.”

“Stop that smirk.”

I slapped Lily’s ass, thinking that this is what warm eyes look like.

“. Wake up, Lily. You’re not looking very good.”

“Mmm…… five minutes……”

I wonder if I a company employee or a school employee, but I can’t get up until Lily wakes up, so I keep pounding her soft ass.
