I Became the Maid of the Lout Prince

Chapter 382

Both of them felt their heads heating up slightly, but without crossing any significant lines, they finished washing up.

Returning to the bedroom with Lilith, Ethan was lightly predicting what she would do next.

‘We can’t go to the church, and we don’t have someone like Cerista, a capable priest. Even though the muscle relaxant potion has eased and stabilized the injury, it won’t be enough for it to heal by tomorrow night.’

According to Lilith, the final battle on the last day would be just as tough as the previous ones, which meant he would have to wield his sword again tomorrow. Ethan, who usually wielded a sword in each hand, knew that holding a sword in only one hand would throw off his balance, making it difficult to utilize even half of his usual strength.

‘At least the good thing is that Lilith can use a little bit of healing magic.’

Ethan was sincerely thankful that Lilith had once been a saint.

The only problem was that the saintly powers Lilith retained were minimal compared to the typical capabilities of a saint, which limited the ways in which she could heal him. And because Ethan knew what this healing method entailed, his heart couldn’t help but race as soon as they entered the bedroom.

‘I'm not sure if it’s really necessary to strip off all our clothes and be so close…’

Since it was Lilith who said it, he trusted it to be true without question. Even if it turned out not to be necessary, Ethan always wanted to do what Lilith desired. The reason he allowed her to feed him during the meal, even though his right arm was uninjured, and let her undress him and wash him with body wash in the bath, was simply because Lilith seemed to want to do it. After all, in a relationship, the side that loves more tends to make more compromises.

“Lord Ethan, I think just resting for a night won’t be enough for your injury to heal, so I will use healing aura during your sleep to boost your recovery.”

“…In the end, we’re doing this again.”

“Yes, it’s the only way to heal your arm, Lord Ethan.”

Ethan agreed with Lilith’s final words. In the humanities class before, they had the benefit of Cerista, an undeniably skilled healer, but here, the only person he could rely on was Lilith, who could use healing aura.

More importantly, Ethan couldn’t bear the thought of being a burden to Lilith during the necromancy class, so his arm absolutely had to heal by tomorrow night.

“Alright, there’s no other choice. Even if the other things we did today were a bit excessive, the healing aura was definitely effective.”

“It sounds like you're implying the other things I made you do were because of my stubbornness, Lord Ethan.”

“…That’s not what I meant, Lilith.”

Ethan dismissed the suspicion of his sharp-witted personal maid with a single sentence and began to undress, though, once again, the lustful maid wouldn't let him do even that on his own.

“I will undress you, Lord Ethan.”

“…I figured you’d say that.”

At this point, Ethan no longer cared and simply waited calmly for Lilith’s hands to touch his body.

-Sssrrrk.

Since the academy uniform he wore during the battle was different from his sleepwear, it didn’t take long for him to become naked.

“…”

“…”

Their faces turned red again, just like in the bathroom, as Ethan stood there undressed and Lilith, who had undressed him, faced him.

“Lord Ethan, you might feel embarrassed if you’re the only one naked, so I will undress as well.”

“…Alright, Lilith.”

Technically, since his arm was practically immobilized, she could have turned off the lights before undressing, but Ethan didn’t point that out.

After all, he was still a man in his prime, and no matter how many times he saw the naked body of the one he loved, it always excited him.

-Sssrrrk.

“…”

“…”

-Sff, sff…

In the silence, Lilith quietly removed her clothes layer by layer, while Ethan watched without saying a word.

Their breathing quickened, soft swallowing sounds echoed, and though no loud noises were made, the tension between their gazes—quickly scanning each other’s bodies and then averting—was unmistakable. One might say their behavior was like that of newlyweds seeing each other’s bodies for the first time, even though they had already engaged in much more intimate and lewd activities.

“I’ll turn off the lights now.”

“Ah, o-okay.”

“Please lie down on the bed first, Lord Ethan. I’ll join you after turning off the lights.”

“…Alright.”

Feeling both lustful and slightly embarrassed, Ethan obediently slipped under the bedcovers at Lilith’s command.

Before long, there was a quiet click, and the magic lamps were turned off, leaving only the faint starlight from outside the window to dimly illuminate the room.

-Sssss.

Ethan clearly heard the sound of the blanket being lifted as someone slipped into the bed beside him. Soon after, he felt the unmistakable sensation of someone quietly embracing him from behind.

“Lord Ethan.”

“…Yes, Lilith.”

“If you lie facing away from me like that, we can’t achieve ‘maximum physical contact.’”

“…Got it.”

Blushing, Ethan shifted his body to face Lilith, and when their naked bodies met under the covers, even though the faint starlight made it hard to see, he could tell that Lilith’s face was flushed red. And he was sure that his own face was just as red as hers.

“You’ve experienced this before, so you know, but this is purely a ‘healing act,’ Lord Ethan. So, even if your body reacts and… erm… ahem, certain changes occur, I will not fulfill the duties of a… s-sexual release maid.”

“I understand. Besides, your role was never about taking care of my sexual urges in the first place.”

“…Please intertwine your legs with mine, Lord Ethan.”

Since Lilith always changed the topic when things got uncomfortable for her, Ethan complied without arguing.

His right leg intertwined with Lilith’s left leg.

Her left leg intertwined with his left leg. Then her right leg overlapped his left leg again.

Sitting face to face, their naked legs entwined, the two of them quietly pulled each other closer, pressing their lower bodies together without exchanging any further words.

-Cla-clasp!

“Hmph…!”

“Huff, haah…!”

Holding back their rising lust as much as possible, the two struggled to remain composed while pressing their lower halves together.

Since they were each pressing their left leg against the other’s groin, it was impossible not to feel the state of the other’s arousal.

“How much bigger are you planning to get, Lord Ethan? Keep your third leg under control.”

“You’re one to talk, Lilith. Did you forget to dry yourself properly after the bath?”

“Making such crude jokes to a lady—how vulgar, Lord Ethan.”

“…You started the teasing, Lilith.”

Ethan was slightly taken aback by Lilith’s unreasonable complaints, but he wasn’t really upset. He knew that such absurd protests were just her way of expressing affection out of embarrassment.

And so, he pulled her a little closer.

Though it seemed sexual and indecent, they were careful never to cross the line.

After all, they had both agreed on the rule—no rewards until after achieving results.

-Squish.

“...!”

“Huff, haa….”

Even as her soft upper body pressed against his chest, tempting him with its alluring sensation…

-Rub.

“Nngh… hyaah?!”

“S-Sorry, Lilith. I moved a little by accident.”

“…I-It’s fine. I’m not bothered by it, Lord Ethan.”

Though Lilith let out an involuntary moan when Ethan’s leg accidentally shifted between her thighs, and though his body responded by swelling even more, Ethan focused on suppressing his desire.

Trying to contain his rising lust without acting inappropriately, Ethan carefully asked Lilith a question.

“Um, Lilith?”

“…Yes, Lord Ethan?”

“The healing aura… the more physical contact, the stronger its effect, right?”

“Yes, Lord Ethan.”

“Then…”

“However, no matter how effective it may be, I will not allow any… insertion. That would no longer be a healing act, but rather a lewd act…”

“…I was just asking if a ‘kiss’ would help.”

“...”

“…Lilith?”

“…A k-kiss, you say. It… it’s not entirely without effect, yes.”

Deliberately skipping over the part she misunderstood, Lilith answered nonchalantly.

Her face was so lovable that Ethan’s lips quietly moved toward hers.

“A ‘kiss’ isn’t considered lewd, is it?”

“…No. A ‘kiss’ is permissible.”

-Chuup.

“Mmm, huff….”

“Hmph, haah….”

In the bedroom, softly lit by starlight, the lips of the two individuals gently met.

With physical contact even inside their mouths, the two focused completely on the ‘healing act.’
