Villainess and Demon Knight 11
Chapter 11
Gained back my consciousness, I realized that the cold touch was actually a gentle, warm hand that seemed to be wrapped in a silk padding.
My throat was dry, my head and body felt terribly heavy.
"Mmmh… Huh…?"
"You're awake, Cecilia-sama. Please don't force yourself to get up. Cecilia-sama has a fever from pushing it too far. Please stay here for a while and rest. I'll fetch some water."
Fever…?
My body felt hot and my joints hurt. No, actually my whole body hurt. It had been a long time since I've had a fever.
There was no way that it was because of him being very rough, right? Just no way.
But, working as a harlot was very physical, wasn't it? I had to get tougher I wouldn’t be like this every time.
Could I take a day off work from a fever…? But, where am I, by the way?
“Excuse me, where is… cough!”
“Don't push yourself too hard, Cecilia-sama. Please drink some water first.”
I couldn't speak as well as I wanted to and started to cough when I tried to ask her while getting up from the bed.
This kind-looking woman in her forties quickly propped her hands on my back and gently rubbed me. I drank the glass of water that she offered to me, and found that it was fruit juice. It was delicious and not too cold. A little saltiness and some sweetness permeated my body.
As I let out a relieved sigh, the woman who gently lowered the cup from my hand smiled serenely at me. As if prompted by her smile, I opened my mouth.
“Thank you very much. Umm, as you may know, my name is Cecilia. I'm from Central Blossom Tower in the capital. Is this your dwelling...?”
Most nobles knew Central Blossom Tower. I hesitated because since I wasn’t used to calling myself a harlot.
But this woman was a very elegant woman, the bed I was sleeping on was very soft and fluffy, and the furnishings in the room were a tell-tale. So no matter how I looked at it, I thought this was an aristocrat’s mansion.
But, I said my name first without considering the other person's status just like I did when I was a Marquis’ daughter. What should I do? She was probably a servant of a high-ranking noble family. It would be nothing but rude for a mere harlot to identify herself first.
As I turned pale, the lady smiled and answered.
"My name is Hannah, and I am the head maid of this house. I have been assigned to look after Cecilia-sama. Anna, Kate, and Elsa are your personal maids and bodyguards, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or any of the other three."
With Hannah's introduction, the three young maids who seemed to be waiting by the corner smiled and said in unison, "It's nice to meet you." Looking at their perfect bow, I could tell that they had learned advanced manners. The manner they showed normally belonged to a lady of the rank of count or higher. Such high-class maids, yet they were also bodyguards? Wasn’t it too amazing that such beautiful girls possessed the skills to be a bodyguard too? How impressive.
But, what did she mean that they were assigned to me? What would a harlot like me do with maids and bodyguards?
Confused, I unconsciously return the smile and slightly bow with an excellent manner.
At this rate, I would get swept away by the friendly atmosphere. My head still felt heavy, but I had to remember.
Hmm… we kept on making love after I gave up my virginity. I still couldn’t believe it. I remembered him cumming inside of me many times. Wasn't he the one who, according to my past life memories, was peerless?
He turned me weak and drenched. He asked me several questions and made me cum again after I answered. Then... I didn't remember anymore from there.
I was blacking out, thinking I was going to die from the intense pleasure. But I only fainted and didn't die! Well done, my survival instinct! I avoided dying during sex!
Also, the fact that I had no memory of it meant that someone brought me here while I was unconscious.
Wait… No way…
"This is the residence of Duke of Harpst in the royal capital. Cecilia-sama was asleep, so Lucas-sama brought you in... Actually, I was hesitant to let a young lady who was still engaged into a room other than her own. But for security reasons, I feel that Lucas-sama’s room would be the safest, so I took Cecilia-sama to this room. Cecilia-sama? How are you feeling?"
No way...
You were not doing well at all, my survival instinct! What were you doing, fainting? I would be buried in the dark, and no one would notice in the Duke’s mansion.
If I had to choose between dying and being a harlot, I'd rather be a harlot. At least I was still alive being a harlot, so there was still hope for the future. If I died, that was the end of it.
I was only seventeen. How sad... I didn’t even antagonize the heroine... was this the end of my life?
Ah, but. You wouldn't go to the trouble of having servants looking after someone you plan to kill, would you? And I heard something strange before...
"Engagement…?"
"You're awake, Cecil."
"Lucas-sama! A gentleman shouldn't enter a room without knocking, especially the room where the lady sleeps!"
Before I knew it, Lucas was already in the room without making a sound. The maids were all staring at him in surprise.
Well, they were standing by the corner near the entrance, weren't they? And yet, they didn't even notice that Lucas was halfway inside the room. He was just like an assassin... or do knights had to learn such covert skills? He was a Royal Knight, so such skill was necessary. But I was afraid that if he came in while I was changing clothes, I might not even notice.
As I was thinking about the trivial things with my foggy brain, Lucas uttered an apology to Hannah and kissed the back of my hand.
"Hm? Ah!"
"I'm sorry, I seemed to be unreasonably rough with your first time out of my joy. I heard that you have a fever. How are you feeling?"
I'm not sure if it was because I was looking at him in a brightly lit room as opposed to at night, but I couldn’t help to notice the sparkle that his beautiful smile gave off. My heart was beating so loud as he almost blinded me. My face turned hot…
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern. ......"
I hope he already forgave me for fainting. It was my first time… and he was being too rough… also, he just blurted out about that night when there were other people in the room! So embarrassing...
There was something warm about the way he was looking at me. But, Hannah and the maids looked like they were pitying me. Perhaps they were reacting to the part about him being rough. But what should I do if it wasn’t about that…
"I'm glad. Cecil…"
"Uh… pardon… the son of Duke Harpst,"
"Cecil? You’re wrong."
Ah! His stare!
"Lu-Luke-sama."
"Yeah, Cecil?"
Someone, please do something about this beautiful man who had been looking so lascivious this early morning! Also, The way he was brushing my nape… was so sensual. Or had my body become very sensitive from the night we spent?
As impossible as it sounded, It was hard to deny that it was a hot night.
"Ah…"
"Making such a face… are you inviting me? Cecil…"
"Lu-Luke-sama…"
He gave me a short kiss before he grabbed my chin roughly. I opened my mouth to accept his tongue, licking my entire mouth. And just as the heat of pleasure was about to light up again, Hannah's angry voice echoed in the room.
As our lips parted, and I felt my ragged breath added up the intensity of this quiet room.
Why did I accept his kiss…?
I was so embarrassed, I just wanted to faint.
