73 Being Humble

The next morning, I was sleeping between Ciel who was hugging me from behind, and Dy hugging me from the front. No, seeing the sun’s risen state, it’s already close to noon.

Ciel aside, it’s rare for Dy to sleep like this. Far from being rare, it might actually be the first time I saw it.

Dy is basically awake when he’s out of the bangle and far form seeing his sleeping figure, I’ve never seen him with his eyes closed.

Observing him(it?) again, it’s a scarily beautiful face. He* is, how should I put it, Ciel is like a beauty with rose-colored cheeks, but Dy’s beauty is too well-featured making the chest throb when looked at, that it makes one wonder whether he’s truly alive.

His sleeping state is truly quiet, and it makes me worry whether this guy is still breathing.

While I’m staring at Dy’s overly white skin, his eyes opened without any warning. Being stared at by those and expressionless amethyst pupils, I ended up freezing.

When I did, he soon wears his usual crafty smile.

[, Rei. It seems you enjoyed last night.]

Dy who was teasing me while grinning has such a rich expression making it as if the previous expressionlessness was a lie, the feeling of having a twisted personality is completely presented.

The disquieting atmosphere just then vanished at once, and I reply in my usual tone.

[Listen here, I said that was an inevitability. Because I was given the aphrodisiac, it couldn’t be helped, could it?]

[I see~, so Rei had no choice and was inevitably shaking his hips in high spirits~]

Geez, what’s with him? No way, this guy. I’m really tired this morning, though. What is he unsatisfied about?

[Even though I was trying hard to cancel the magic spell with all I had while being made to smell such a delicious smell beside me, I just thought that it was unfair that I could only suck on my finger and look.]

[No, it’s not even as if I wanted to leave you out.]

Hm, although he’s showing such a very pretty smile, it’s so nice I can only feel that it’s not real. It seems he’s completely sulking.

Hmm~, somehow, I have a really bad feeling about where this flow is going.

[My magic power also decreased, I must get compensated with Rei’s body.]

Aah, see? As I thought!

[….Or, so I thought but there is a task that I must finish first, you see.]

[Something?]

For him to prioritize something over eating, I can only think of one thing.

It seems he was also excessively fixated over the talk about the war, it’s probably related to that.

[It’s about the war, right? I’m also curious about it.]

[Because the Rebel Army won, I don’t think the war will occur, though. There’s a different matter in my mind that I want to ascertain.]

Because he’s saying it with such a serious face, it raised the discomfort in my lower body..

Ciel was fast asleep while we were talking. It’s almost noon, it should be better to wake him up, right?

[He~y, Ciel, wake up. It’s already noon.]

[Nh…]

Ciel patted the sheets with his hand in order to search for me, hugged the pillow that was in that vicinity, and smiled.

The golden curls spread on the bed sheets, the way he looked while smiling whilst the sunlight gently illuminated him was as if he appeared from within a religious painting,

What is this guy, is he an angel?

[Just let him sleep, s.h.i.+-chan seemed to have spent a lot of magic power to solve the spell.]

Goodness, since he doesn’t show any signs of waking up, I decided to just let him sleep just as Dy suggested.

Now then, I wonder where my clothes are at? I can’t see that frilly ‘s clothing I wore yesterday. Oh well, I guess I’ll just use my normal clothes.

The atmosphere inside the castle is too elegant that I feel out of place, but I don’t mind.

Just as I opened the room’s door after lightly dressing myself up, I found Aleph’s figure in the hallway.

His gray hair has returned to its former cool indigo blue color, he was wearing a refres.h.i.+ng smile that didn’t make me feel that we were embracing each other like that until we turned muddled yesterday..

[Rei, you woke up? Are there no issues with your body?]

[Good morning, Aleph, it seems I have properly escaped the aphrodisiac’s influence.]

The discomfort on my lower half is already a normal matter so I ignored it, and I get into the main question.

[Hey, what happened to the war in the end? Also, did you catch the king?]

Aleph’s expression stiffened as he answered seriously.

[We have captured and imprisoned King Egrald and his close a.s.sociates, Westin-aniue is currently taking command. The revolution succeeded and I can probably say that the war ahs been avoided. However, Egrald-aniue is saying something strange.]

[What do you mean by something strange?]

[It’s useless even if you stop it now, the war shall occur hereafter whether you want it or not, he said…]

I wonder what that means? Did he already send an army?

When I asked him, Aleph shook his head.

It appears that Westin who away the exercising right to command took the lead in validating it, but such an order has not been made, which means the troops have not left from each station.

[We won’t get anywhere even if we talk about it here. Let me meet your brother.]

Because Dy firmly requested for a meeting while producing a dangerous air, Aleph became alert and his face became sullen with his eyebrows furrowed.

[What do you plan to do? Even if he’s a great criminal, you will be punished if you execute him.]

[I’ll be punished, you say… Who do you say will punish me?]

[Hey hey, this isn’t the time to be fighting, is it?]

When I interfered, the two closed their mouths while glaring at each other. After a moment, Dy cast his gaze downwards helplessly.

[… I will not do anything. It’s just that, there’s something I want to confirm a little. That’s why let me meet him.]

Getting pleaded humbly out of nowhere, Aleph also seemed to feel something. He offered to agree conditionally.

[… Although he’s being tied in a magic-sealing chain, we can’t put Rei in a dangerous situation. We will go meet him with only me and Ragna guarding the rear, will that be fine?]

[It’s fine. Just be as quick as you can, okay?] R

Saying that he’s going find Ragna to take over the job he’s working on, Aleph left in a quick pace.

Dy was quietly staring at his back. Unable to read any expression from his hooded eyes, I could only look at such Dy.
