“Ro–“

It looked like he wanted to say something, but as soon as he parted his lips, I deepened the kiss and pushed my tongue into his mouth through the gap. He was at a loss as to what to do that he froze, and when my tongue lightly nudged Captain Jullius’ tongue, he’s so surprise and tried to avoid getting into contact with my tongue. But even if you tried to avoid it, it’s all for naught since it’s inside your mouth, where did you think you could go? Deep down, I enjoyed chasing his tongue when he moved his tongue clumsily every now and then as a mean to avoid getting our tongue intertwined. Then ‘swoosh’… I swept across his palate…

“–!!!”

I licked him as if I scratched him. Captain Jullius couldn’t stand it anymore as his hand grasped my shoulder, but he couldn’t push me away so he just frowned. By any chance, could this be his first time? Well, I mean, even the young ladies have had their first kiss before they were twenty. It’s such a shame to stop now that I’ve seen his eyes which were full of embarrassment, glistened and turned hazy, but I decided to pull out my tongue. Captain Jullius who was gasping for breath with his head raised, lightly bit his lip then he looked down.

“Is this your first time?”

Instead of answering, Captain covered his mouth with the hand that was holding my shoulder. Somehow, I was pleased seeing the area around his eyes until his nape turned red. I feel a bit sorry if it’s his first kiss though. Since I’m on ‘the more experienced’ side. But because it’s the first time I did it with a man, it’s considered as my first kiss too. I learned how to kiss by having older sisters as my partner, no, they’re noble ladies. Later on, I was discovered and severely scolded by adjutant Sieg and the High Priest. They were angry and said that I shouldn’t fooling around with such nasty jokes. For half a year, whenever I met the High Priest, he would repeteadly say ‘kissing is something you do with your lover’ like a parrot. You see, I’ve already known that clergies can’t have any romantic relationships.

“It’s all right. Because we’re engaged after all.”

It’s not based on love, but first of all we’re engaged and even though it’s just a formality, nonetheless we can still be considered as a couple, so it’s okay if I kiss him, right? We’re engaged and moreover morning kiss is just a morning greeting. Captain Jullius, who remained silent for a while, was still covering his mouth then said with a low hoarse voice.

“… Roel.”

“Yes?”

“It would be best if you could leave.”

“… what? Why?”

“… don’t ask me the reason, please move aside from your position.”

What, what’s this. Could it be that he’s mad? Was he offended because I kissed him without saying anything? After nodding my head in a daze, I got out of the bedroom. A long sigh could be faintly heard beyond the closed door. Uh, ermm… did I happen to do anything wrong….?

After I was driven out of the Captain Jullius’ bedroom, I’ve been thinking hard and worried about it throughout my way to the main house, but I still couldn’t figure it out. But in the book, when the female lead gave the male lead a morning kiss, he smiled and they proceeded to kiss each other. That’s weird.

‘…. I think I should buy a men’s book and give it to Captain.’

Maybe he reacted like that because he’s inexperienced. When I was returning to my bedroom, I decided to change my direction and headed to adjutant Sieg’s study which also served as his office. He should have waken up by now. I’ll ask him to get me a book. As soon as I reached the study, I knocked on the door and got a response from inside that told me to come in. When I opened the door, I saw adjutant Sieg sorting out some documents that I didn’t know of. The scene itself was familiar, but I found it to be unpleasant to the eyes when I saw him dressed in plain clothes instead of the Holy Knight Squad’s uniform. Did you become a butler for real? It’s burdensome. Moreover, his reason to do it was simply because he thought it’s fun. If only he was interested in something else other than me, how nice it would be.n
“Adjutant Sieg.”

After I called him, his purple eyes then looked at me. I heard Lady Kidea has platinum blonde hair and purple eyes. His hair color is different, but the color of their eyes are exactly the same. It hasn’t been that long since the Lady came to the Empire so I haven’t met her properly yet. I didn’t even receive any invitation card to the banquet hosted by her… By any chance, did adjutant Sieg intercept in the middle? There’re no banquets hosted by ladies to which I wasn’t invited to.

“Miss.”

He continued to speak with a smile.

“Now I’m not an adjutant anymore, but a butler.”

“… are you for real?”

“I’ve repeatedly told you so.”

… Goddess, please send the prince in front of me back to where he belongs. There’s nowhere in the world where a prince works as a butler in a Count’s residence. Talking about being a clergy, one needs to bury and leave one’s worldly status in the past, -that’s how things work-, and it’s not like it has no influence on him but anyway though ostensibly he abide by the rules, this isn’t right.

“I feel burdened though.”

“Don’t mind it.”

“But it bothers me.”

“Then keep worrying about it.”

As expected, I can’t defeat him in an argument. Of course, it’s not like there’s no other way. Towards the self-proclaimed butler adjutant Sieg, I’ve advantages over him due to my position as his master… Damn it, in the past, it was an indisputable fact that I was superior in terms of appearance, combat skills, and rank, but now I have nothing. I sat dejectedly on the sofa.

“Please sit more demurely.”

“We’re at home, you know.”

“Miss, even if you’re at home, you still need to mind your manners.”

Ah, I wish to run away from home.

“If you annoy me too much, I’ll leave the house.”

“Then I will hold Sofia and Sir Rizar responsible.”

“Those two have nothing to do with this! Adjutant Sieg is the one who is in the wrong!”

“That’s because I think that might be the most effective way.”

(T/N: he’s implying on the most effective way to blackmail MC)

“Damn it.”

“Please be careful of the way you speak too.”

… If I want to run away, then I guess I’ll have to take both of them away with me. I sighed deeply and changed the subject.

“I heard that there’s a romance book for men.

“… what?”

Adjutant Sieg looked at me with a buffled look on his face as if he’s questioning what kind of bullshit I was talking about. Huh? You don’t know about it?

“Sofia said so though? Yesterday, when she lent me some romance novels for women, she said there’s also romance book that’s particularly made for men.”

“… You mean like a love story?”

“Mhm. I tried doing something from the book to Captain Jullius, but he didn’t seem to like it very much. To be precise, he was so embarrassed that he kicked me out. I did it exactly as shown in the book but– anyway, it seems like Captain has no experience of doing things like that so I’m going to get him a copy.”

He must be embarrassed because he doesn’t know well about doing affectionate things. Adjutant Sieg, who was quietly listening to me, opened his mouth with a face that looked like he’s so done with something.

“… What did you do?”

“Morning kiss.”

“Where did you kiss him?”

“Naturally on the lips.”

“… Did you put your tongue in?”

“Of course.”

It’s a kiss after all. I was told that only kids would do something like giving a light kiss on the lips. Adjutant Sieg once again was deeply engrossed in his thoughts that he fell into a brief silence and then he firmly said.

“This time you’re at fault, Miss.”

“… How come?”

“In the first place, a morning kiss is usually just giving a light kiss on the cheek or forehead.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

“I did kiss him but…”

“As long as your lips touch anything, it’s called a kiss.”

“But an adult’s kiss–“

“Haven’t I clearly told you before to forget about those ladies’ mischiefs?”

You indeed said so, but still. I scratched my cheek and ruminated over the contents of the book I read last night. It’s definitely a morning kiss but there’s no description of putting one’s tongue in.n
“Still, a kiss where you put your tongue in isn’t that wrong either. He didn’t have to kick you out like that because isn’t that just too much?”

Even though I was wrong about the morning kiss, we’re already engaged so even if I kissed him with my tongue going inside his mouth, I thought it’s fine. As expected, it looked like Captain overreacted because he didn’t know much.

“It must have been inevitable.”

“What do you mean by inevitable?”

What the hell did you mean by that? No matter how much I think about it, I can’t make heads or tails out of it.

“Sir Rizar is also a man after all.”

“I also know that.”

“That’s it.”

What are you talking about?

“Please explain it in detail.”

“Just know that it’s like that.”

You didn’t even tell me anything so what did you mean by ‘just know that it’s like that’? Should I ask Captain Jullius?

“Don’t even think about asking Sir Rizar.”

“…… why?”

“If you ask him, he’ll be embarrassed for sure. He might run away from you. And he even might not be able to make eye contact with you, Miss.”

Hmm, that would be difficult. I feel sorry for Captain Jullius so I think I’ll have to ask Ortzen for help. Even if that man tries to run away from me, he still can’t get out of Special Task Squad’s headquarters.

“I thought that it’s only women who are complicated, but turns out men are also quite complicated.”

“Well, it’s a different type of complexity. If you understand it, it’s rather simple though.”

If by knowing about it makes it simpler, then you should teach me a little. You’re being cheap there.

“Forget it, just get me a romance novel for men.”

In the future if I get kicked out after I kissed him, that’ll be difficult.

(T/N: this ‘difficult’ word have the nuance of being in an awkward and embarrasing situation)

In response to my request, adjutant Sieg answered me shortly.

“There’s none.”

“I was told there is.”

“There is no such thing.”

“But Sofia–“

“And it’s all fiction anyway so don’t rely on it and just read it in moderation.”

“I also know it’s all fiction.”

“You already know that but you still put it into action?”

“… but don’t people actually do the morning kiss?”

“Well, they do though.”

“Then it’s alright for me to do it!”

“Having such an easy-going mindset, you could have done something weird to Sir Rizar.”

Th, that would be problematic. In the future, I’ll ask Sofia or adjutant Sieg before doing anything. Anyway, I have to apologize to Captain Jullius.

Thinking like that, I went to the seperate building, but I couldn’t find Captain Jullius anywhere. On the empty bed, the pink canopy’s curtains were fluttering in the wind which came in through the window.

‘Has he already left?’

That’s fast. Then, should I also go to the Special Task Squad’s headquarters?
